Basics

Set a featured image

A post featured image is an image that you can upload to represent your post, page or other post type.

Setting a featured image is very simple: In your text editor, click on “set a featured image” (usually the box at the bottom right), upload an image and click on “use as featured image”.

If the image is hosted by a 3rd party site and you have the image url, you can use “Featured Image from URL” that is underneath the Featured Image box.

Create a gallery

Use WPBakery Page Builder to insert an image gallery by adding the Image Gallery element.

Embed a video or audio player

Use WPBakery Page Builder to insert a video or audio player by adding the Video or Audioplayer element.

WordPress embed

This WordPress feature allows you to display a media by simply paste its URL in your post. For example, simply paste a YouTube video URL into your post. WordPress will automatically turn that into a YouTube embed.

Any gallery or slider will be considered as gallery.

The first video URL will be considered the video.

Audio

An audio file. You can use the audio shortcode provided by WordPress using the media library (“Add media” button). You can also embed a soundloud song using WordPress embed feature by pasting your song soundcloud URL.

Link

A link to another site. The first URL in your post will be used and your post title will be linked to this URL.

Status

Typically styled without a title. Similar to a Facebook note update. You can use this post format to display an embed tweet.

Aside

There isn’t any specific style for the chat post format.

Split your post

Firs, note that the more tag won’t be used if you choose the “Auto excerpt” option in the customizer “Blog” tab or with certain blog layout.

You can find the More Tag button in the first row of the visual editor.

Single Post Options

You can choose how you want to display your post single view in the Post Options, just below your text editor.

Note that the “Featured” options will be used for the metro layout, to display a bigger post thumbnail for your post.

Customizer / Theme Settings

Theme settings are the backbone of the theme. They give you full control over your website and allow you to customize the design without modifying a single line of code. There are three type of options you can set: the Customizer Mods, the Single Page Options and the other Admin “Appearance” sub-menus available depending on the plugins installed.

Customizer Mods

The Customizer Mods are responsible for the global appearance of the entire website, unless otherwise specified in Page Options. They are accessible in the “Appearance” > “Customizer” from your admin panel, or directly by clicking on “Customize” in the frontend admin bar.

Page Options

The Page Options are located inside every page, post, product (or other post type) single page admin. You can override particular Customizer Mods for single page diversification (like the Page Header for example).

Most of these settings will be available for all post types, such as Site Options, Header Options, Menu Options and Footer Options

Additionally, specific options will be available depending on the post type.

Header Options

You can choose how you want to display your header for each post in the “Header Options” below the main text editor.

This will overwrite the “Header Layout” settings from the Customizer.

1. By default, the featured image will be used as header background. If no featured image is set, the header image from the customizer header tab will be used (if set). If no featured image and no default header image is found, the header background will be a simple solid default color.
   
2. If you want a different header image than your featured, simply choose the “Image” option in the dropdown field.
   
3. You can also choose a video or a slideshow as header background. In this case, simply set the desired option and fill the fields below accordingly.
   

For even more flexibility, if you want to replace the in-built header, you can choose to hide the header completely and use a Content Block.
