Adding the Full Width Layout

The Full Width layout can only be added as a final step from the Media Layout component.

Editing the Component Content

Hover your mouse cursor over the content preview area and click the yellow Edit button that appears over the top right of the component. A new modal window will open with all of the content fields available for the component.

  • Image - Adds an image to the top of the component.

  • Title - Adds a line of styled text underneath the image.

  • Description - Adds a Rich Text Editor underneath the title.

  • Link URL - (Optional) Inserts a link to both the image and title that visitors can click to follow.

  • Video URL - (Optional) Inserts a Youtube or Vimeo link to the image area and overlays a play button.
    When visitors click anywhere on the image, the video will play in an overlay over the entire page.
    To use the video’s thumbnail, clearing the image field.

Can I do both? - Yes, you can add both a Link URL and a Video URL to the component at the same time. When you do, the image area will act as the playable video and the title will act as the link.

  • Theme - Change the look by selecting between different visual styles.

  • Image Width - Increase or decrease the displayed width of the image.

  • Save - Commit any changes to the options.
