Jessica – Home Page – Large Image

Our home page has a large image displayed. While we are not rotating images here, this is possible. We just choose to have one single image, but you can add more if you choose

Note: This uses a premium plugin called  Soliloquy. A license for this is already included in your theme at purchase. You do not need to purchase a license unless you want direct support from the plugin developer. Thomas, the developer, is really good with support so we encourage buyers who have advanced needs to consider purchasing a their own license so they can receive direct support. If you do not have advanced needs which would require support, you are good to go with our included license.

Create any number of images and size them to 1116px x 372px.

Update: Soliloquy now includes an “import/export slider” option under Misc.  If you wish to use it, here are the slider settings from the slider on the demo site. Download the JSON settings file  here. 

Note: The settings import will set the slide image and link on the demo site. It will likely be a broken link on your site since you don’t have those. You will need to delete that slide and add your own in its place.
