  • The next icon is the link icon. Here, you can add or edit a link that can be visited right from the banner image. If you attach a link to the image, a ‘Read More’ button will appear on the banner to take viewers to the linked content.

  • Finally, there is the delete icon which will remove a photo from your banner.

Uploading an image

  • There are two ways to upload a photo: add a photo from images or upload. If you have the banner cropping tool turned on, we suggest you use the upload button to pull images straight from your computer, that way the tool can automatically crop the image to the proper size as well as change the resolution. Photos uploaded in this manner will be saved into the ‘Banners’ folder in Images. Adding banner images with or without the cropping tool is the same process.

Using the Tool

  • After selecting the image from your computer, the tool will automatically pop up showing the photo resolution on the left and a preview panel on the right. Image resolutions will vary depending on the template and design of your site

  • You will be able to move the cropping rectangle on the image in the preview panel to crop it to your liking

  • If you need to adjust the image further, simply click on the pencil icon to go back to the editor

Without the Tool

  • After selecting the image from your computer that you would like to upload, instead of the editing space opening up automatically, the image will be uploaded to the element in whatever resolution it is currently set at. Once the image is uploaded you can select the pencil icon to open the editor.

  • You will need to manually change the resolution and cropping on the image, which can be a bit of a guessing game
