OVERVIEW AND REFERENCE POINTS ON FOCUSPOINT USER SETUP DOCUMENTATION SITE

CREATING A SLIDER
You can create as many sliders as you want and add each to a place where appropriate. You can have more than one slider on a page and each one of them will work independent from the other. Sliders can be used to change images that are used as links meaning that when clicked will redirect to a given url(page) or just use the plugin in order to add banners that are displayed on your website.

In order to create a new slider go to Plugins >> Anywhere Sliders >> Manage Sliders.
Click on the Add new slider button
When you click the "Add new slider" button the following page will be opened. You can choose from three main slider types - a Nivo slider, a normal carousel 2D slider or a new 3D carousel slider.

2. Slider Type - 
3. Language - 
4. Effect - From here you choose what effect your Nivo Slider will have.
5. Theme class name - The name of the theme class that is added to the slider. For example, if you set it to light then an additional class named theme-light will be added to the slider.
