Image Slider Widget

Add an image slider widget to your site in order to display a set of images one after another in a row or column. You can add multiple images to display as a slideshow. Instead of having multiple image widgets cluttering your rows and columns, use a single image slider widget.

Grouping all of your photos into one widget is useful and saves a lot of space. However, certain cases require single images. For example, you may need a paragraph explaining a single image that cannot be included in a group of images in the image slider. To learn more about the image widget, see Image Widget.

• To learn how to create an image slider as a background, see Background Image Slider.

To add the image slider widget:

1. In the left panel, click Widgets.
2. Click and drag the widget into your site.
