(1) Layout Preset: The first decision is to choose a layout preset whether you want a Slider, Grid, or Block layout.
- Slider
- Grid
- Block
Block Orientation: The block orientation option will be applicable to the Block Layout of the categories. If you have selected the block layout from the layout preset then two options will be visible to select a block orientation style. There are two Block orientation styles.
- Style-1: Only three categories will display by selecting this orientation style. The first one will show in a big block in one column and the rest of the two blocks will show in another column within two rows.
- Style-2: In this style, five categories will show within three columns.
(2) Slider Mode: This option is only applicable in the slider layout. There are two types of slider modes available for the plugin’s slider layout.
- Standard Mode: The standard mode carousel is a slideshow for cycling through a series of content.
- Ticker Mode: This is the continuous sliding mode in the loop, with no pause. You can set the ticker speed.
(3) Category Column(s): Set number of column(s) in different devices for responsive view. This option allows you to preset the number of categories visible with a particular device. Some default values we have set in the fields of individual devices. You can change the default value for the particular device field.
