Guidance

Best practices

Few slides

Between 3 and 5 images: visitors rarely wait to see more.

Same-sized images

Use images with the same proportions so the carousel does not change height.

Mobile version

Add a Mobile image with the important text centered and legible on small screens.

Deactivate before deleting

Remove slides from past campaigns with the green eye and delete them once you are sure.

Before publishing
  • Each slide has an image on every language tab.
  • The texts, the price and the button are translated in each language you use.
  • The button links open the correct page.
  • The positions follow the order you want.
  • The carousel's zone is correct.

Common issues

I can't save the slide: "This field is required."The Image is missing on some language tab, or the Name is missing. Check every tab.
A slide is not shown on the website.Check in the slide list that its eye is not crossed out: if it is, the slide is deactivated.
The slides appear in a different order.Edit each slide and check its Position.
The carousel does not appear on the page.Check its Zone. If it is "Shortcode", you need to insert it on the page with the dynamic content generator.
