Generally-speaking, if you want a slider you’ll need to either code one in, or install a slider plugin, then add the slider according to the plugin’s method.In this case,\u00a0the installed Beaver Builder may be used. It has four slider options, two of them for images, one for images and \/ or posts, and another geared towards\u00a0posts only.\n

Firstly you’ll want to launch the page builder.<\/a><\/h4>\nTo launch the page builder<\/strong>\r\n
    \r\n \t
  1. On the front end (not the dashboard), go to the page you want to add-to or edit eg. mywebsite.com\/about<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t
  2. Click the Page Builder<\/strong> item in the WordPress admin bar at the top.\r\n\"\"<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nThe Beaver Builder Page Builder<\/b> will load so you can begin editing content on the front end of your website.\r\n

    Other ways of launching the page builder<\/h3>\r\n
    \r\n
    \r\n
    \r\n

    From Pages or Posts list in the WordPress dashboard<\/a><\/h4>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
    \r\n
    \r\n
      \r\n \t
    1. Go to the WordPress dashboard<\/li>\r\n \t
    2. Go to Pages or Posts in the sidebar<\/li>\r\n \t
    3. Hover over the page name, and click Page Builder<\/b><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
      \r\n
      \r\n

      From the Edit screen for a Page or Post<\/a><\/h4>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
      \r\n
      \r\n\r\nIf you are on the Edit screen to change the title, date, featured image etc of a Page or Post, there will be a Page Builder button where the content area normally is, or a Page Builder tab next to a Text Editor tab at the top of the post. You can launch the page buider from there.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n

      Once the page builder is open, decide if you want simple image slider, or something more complex with a title and text content from your posts.<\/p>\n
