Before customizing the Infinite Loop Slider section, make sure to add all the essential blocks that complete its structure. These include: Image, Heading, Text, Button, and Spacer blocks. Once these blocks are in place, you can begin styling and adjusting them to match your brand and content goals.
2.1. Customize Image block
To add an Image block to the Infinite loop slider section, click the Add block button > Select Image block.
Once the Image block is added, you can customize its settings in the right-hand sidebar:
Image: This is the primary image that will be displayed on your website (typically for desktop view).
Mobile Image: You can upload or select a different image to show specifically on mobile devices. If no mobile image is set, the desktop image will be used instead. The “Select” button allows you to upload a mobile-specific image. And the link “Explore free images” lets you browse stock images.
Link Image: This field lets you turn the entire image into a clickable link. Paste a URL or search for a page to link the image to. When users click on the image, they will be taken to this link.
Open this link in a new tab: Toggle this on if you want the image link to open in a new browser tab. When turned off, the link opens in the same tab.
2.2. Customize Heading / Text / Button / Spacer block
To add a Heading / Text / Button / Spacer block to the Infinite loop slider section, click the Add block button > Select Heading / Text / Button / Spacer block.
