The widget called the T – homepage banner is used to display the image slider or the single city or the multi city map in Homepage Banner widget area.

Below are the ways you can set up the slider and it’s options:

Go to your wp-admin dashboard >> Appearance >> Widgets >> Homepage Banner >> T – Homepage banner.

a)      Custom Images:

To display custom images or post on the Homepage Slider, drag and drop the T – homepage banner widget to the homepage banner widget area. Then configure the widget with images and links or with the post types to be displayed.

On marking this option, there will be other related option visible:

  • Banner Slider Title 1: this will be the title of the image/slide.

  • Options to have 4 banners are given by default. If you want to add/delete some more than you can use buttons “Add Textbox” or “Remove Textbox”.

Note:Use images with dimension 1904 x 419 which is a default dimension. Using the images with this dimension will work just like it is working on our demo.
