December 13, 2024 · AI Conversations
### Steps to Build the Slider:
1. **Add a Row:**
– Go to your WPBakery page editor.
– Click on "Add Element" and insert a **Row**.
2. **Add a Slider:**
– Inside the row, click on "Add Element" and search for the **Post Slider** or **Image Carousel** element. Alternatively, you can use a slider plugin like **Revolution Slider** or **Smart Slider** and embed it via shortcode.
3. **Configure the Slider:**
– Set the **Slider Layout** to match the screenshot:
– **Full Width**: Ensure the slider spans the full width of the section.
– **Image Size**: Adjust the images to 1216×46 or upload appropriately sized images.
– Add **Slides** with the following:
– **Background Image**: Set the image of the energy transmission components as the background.
– **Text Overlay**: Add the text "Expertise für Energieübertragungs- und Speicherlösungen." by inserting a **Text Block** element inside the slide.
4. **Add Navigation Buttons:**
– Enable navigation controls (arrows) in the slider settings. WPBakery sliders usually provide these options in the **Slider Settings**.
5. **Optional Customizations:**
– **Overlay Effect**: Add a semi-transparent overlay on the image for better text readability. This can be done by adding a custom CSS class to the row or slider and styling it:
.slider-overlay {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); /* Adjust opacity */
z-index: 1;
}
– **Circular Profile Image**: Add a smaller image or profile icon to the bottom right of the slide using the **Single Image** element with custom positioning.
6. **Responsive Adjustments:**
– In WPBakery's responsive settings, ensure the slider looks good on mobile and tablet devices by tweaking padding, margin, and font sizes.
7. **Save and Preview:**
– Save your changes and preview the page to ensure the slider matches your requirements.
