Creating Slides

Head to the Nectar Slider section in your admin menu and click “Add New”. Inside of the slide creation screen, you’ll find two metaboxes which you will use to populate and categorize your slides.

• Slide Settings: Your configuration metabox that will determine the slide content as well as styling. There are options for background type (image or video), alignment, buttons and more.
• Slider Location: These are the categories you will use to group slides that you wish to display together. When you add a Nectar Slider through the page builder or shortcode, you will select your desired slider location to query to all slides assigned to it.

Page Builder Element Settings

When adding a Nectar Slider to your page through the page builder, you’ll have a list of settings you can use to control the style and functionality for each instance.

• Slider Height: Enter the height you would like your slider to display on desktop monitors. The amount your slider scales down for every smaller viewport (tablet, phone etc.) will be determined by this.
• Display Full width: Use this to allow your slider to expand the full width of the screen. When using this option, there’s no need to set the parent row to “full width content”. It’s actually preferred that the parent row type remain simply as “full width background” or “in container” as to not waste processing that is unneeded. Note that if you’re not seeing this option, you likely have the parent row type already set to “full width content”.
• Display Arrow Navigation: Adds next/previous navigation buttons to your slider.
• Overall Style: Choosing “Directional based content movement” will limit the amount of further customization options you have to select from.
• Display Bullet Navigation: Adds an optional bullet navigation to your slider.
• Enable Swipe on Desktop: Allows users to click and drag the slider to change slides when access on a non-touch device.
• Parallax Slider: Will animate the background layer at a different speed than the scrolling speed to create a parallax effect.
• Slide BG Animation: Optionally add a “Ken burns” slight zoom animation to each slide.
• Loop Slider: Allows your slider to loop infinitely once the end has been reach. i.e. the last slide will lead back to the first slide.
• Slider Transition: Choose between a “Slide” and “Fade” effect that will be used when changing slides.
• Caption Transition: Control the animation that your slide content will do when changing slides.
• Autorotate: If you would like this slider to autorotate, enter the rotation speed in milliseconds here. i.e 5000
• Button Sizing: Select how large you would like the buttons in each slide to display.
