Image Height: Choose the size of your Image Across images. The choices are: Defined by Image Size, Small, Medium and Large. Changing the image height in the drop down menu, changes the image height in the live preview window, allowing you to see what your choice looks like.

Image Across: This is where you can reorder the images, delete images and change the images associated with the component. To delete an image, click the X to the right of the image you wish to delete. To reorder the images, click and hold the six dots to the left of the image, then drag the image to where you want it to be and unclick.

To change the image associated with the first image, click Heading for Image One.

Image: This is the image associated with Image one. Clicking the icon next to the file name box opens the Add Image page. You can upload a new image, select an image that is already in your system or add an image that is already on your server by using the path to the image.

Image Settings

The Image Settings subsection allows you to set specific images for when your website is viewed on a mobile device or tablet. If you don’t set specific images, the main image you used will be resized to fit.

Alt/Title Text: The Alt/Title Text is text that displays when a website visitor hovers their mouse over the image in question and its use is considered a best practice, particularly when it comes to SEO.

Image Link: This setting allows you to link the image to one of four options. The options are: URL, Product, Category or Page.

Text Section

In order to have text display along with the image, you must click the slider next to the Text header to enable it.

Alt text here

Heading Text: The main text that displays over the top of Image One.

Subheading Text: Subheading text inserts above the Heading text.

Body Text: Body text slots in underneath the Heading text.

Button Text: You can edit the call-to-action button by using the Button Text box.

Important

Changing the font colors of any of the above options is done in the Text and Button styles section below, and not within the individual image text settings. Because of this, any change to the Heading Text font color for example, will change the Heading Text font color for every heading on every image. It is not possible to individually change the font color associated with image text of a single image.

Note

Editing successive images works exactly as editing Image One.

Add Image: The Add Image link allows you to add an image, or images, to the Image Across component, making it a two, three or four or more across. When an image is added, the existing images are shrunk to make room for the additional image.

Alt text here

Text Vertical Alignment: In the example above, from left to right, Center-Left, Center, Bottom-Left and Below Image.

Alt text here

Text Horizontal Alignment: In the example above, from left to right, Left, Center and Right.

Column Count: The number of columns the images will appear in is set here. There are nine options: Auto, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. If you set the column count to three, and there are six images in the component, the images will be displayed in three columns of two. The images will be adjusted to fit the space.

Alt text here

Horizontal Scroll: Horizontal Scroll leaves the categories aligned horizontally, like on the desktop version of the site, but will put a scroll bar at the bottom of the component to scroll to the side and see the additional categories.

Alt text here

Wrap: Wrap puts the categories into columns based on the amount of screen space of the device the site is being viewed on. Scrolling down the page reveals additional categories.

Content Theme: The Content Theme setting allows you to quickly change the text and button colors when they are used over light or dark backgrounds. Rather than needing to go into each text element and individually changing them due to the background, you can change the theme of all of the elements quickly in one spot.
