#### 1. Create a new Slider

##### 1.1 From the plugin's main admin page, select "Create New Slider".

##### 1.2 Enter a Slider Title (1) and Alias (2), and click "Save".

- Quick Note:
  Before saving, you can select several of the slider's settings from this page. But choosing these settings are not required to officially create a new slider, as they can be adjusted afterward.

- Alias Naming:
  The slider's "Title" can be anything, but the "Alias" should not have any special characters or spaces (but dashes and underscores are ok).

##### 1.3 You'll now be redirected to the plugin's main admin page where you'll see your new slider listed.

#### 2. Start with a Demo Slider

back to top

##### 2.1 From the plugin's main admin page, select "Add Template Slider".

##### 2.2 Select a demo from the slide-in screen.

##### 2.3 And then from the popup modal, import the corresponding zip file.

In your original download source folder, you’ll find a folder named “example-zips”. Click the “browse” button (#1), and locate the zip file listed in the green box from your computer (i.e. “exwebproduct.zip”). Then click “Import Template Slider” (#2).

##### 2.4 You'll then see the template slider listed in the plugin's main admin page.

- Quick Note - Import Theme Slider:
  To import a demo included with your theme, choose "Import Slider" instead of "Add Template Slider", and then start from "Section 2.3" above.
