You can either follow the video or the below steps to configure the banner section in the Vandana Lite theme.
You can choose a static image, video, or a slider as your banner. The banner will be displayed at the top of your website.
To set up your banner:
- Go to Appearance > Customize > Front Page Settings > Banner Section.
- Choose either Static/Video Newsletter Banner, Banner as Slider, or Disable Banner Section (if you do not want a banner).
Static/Video Newsletter Banner
Note: If you have added a video, the image will not be displayed. You can either use an image or a video in the banner section at a time. In the mobile view, the video will not be displayed to save bandwidth, instead, the fallback image will be displayed. So we recommend you to add a banner image as well.
- Go to Appearance > Customize > Front Page Settings > Banner Section.
- Choose Static/Video Newsletter Banner in the Banner Options.
- Click on Select video to upload the video of your choice in the Banner Section or you can also add the Youtube URL for a video.
- If you want to display a static image, click on Add New Image to upload the desired image on the banner section.
- Enter the Newsletter Shortcode to display the Newsletter on the banner section.
- Click Publish.
Banner as Slider
Note: Before you choose Latest Posts or Category in the Slider Content Style, make sure that you have created these beforehand. You can create Posts via Posts > Add New, Category via Posts > Categories. If there are not enough Posts or Categories a grey fallback image will appear in the Banner Section.
- Go to Appearance > Customize > Front Page Settings > Banner Section.
- Choose Banner as Slider in the Banner Options.
- Select either Latest Posts or Category in the Slider Content Style. In this theme, you can even make your own Custom Slider.
- Different options are displayed based on the option you choose on the Slider Content Style.
