Plugins
1. To add images with pages that flip, use Booklets.
Copy/paste the “shortcode” to add your Booklet to your Portfolio item.
You can choose whether your Booklet has a light or dark background.
Short list of terms:
- Padding: the margin around your images.
- Flip speed: how fast your pages flip
- Automatic flip delay: how long it takes for the page to flip (set to 0 if you don’t want the pages to flip automatically)
- Show thumbnails: choose “Yes” to show all of you images at the bottom of your Booklet; choose “No” to hide the thumbnails.
- Booklet cover behavior: add a cover to your Booklet or by choosing “Closable – Centered” or “Closable – Either side.” If you don’t want a cover, choose “Opened always”
2. To add images in a standard slider, use Soliloquy Slider.
