Add Slides from the Media Library

The Media Library source lets you hand-pick the exact images for your slider. It is the most common way to build a carousel.

Add slides

  1. Edit your slider and make sure the Slides source is set to Media Library.
  2. Click Add Slide to open the WordPress media modal.
  3. Select one or more images and insert them. Each becomes a slide.

Per-slide options

  • Title / Description – shown as the slide caption (these write back to the attachment).
  • Link URL and Link Target – make the slide clickable, in the same window or a new tab.
  • Overlay – None, Dark or Light, with an adjustable opacity from 0.05 to 1.

Each option has its own guide: captions, links and overlays. When you are happy with the order, see Reorder Slides with Drag and Drop, then Update.
