How can I get the image slider component to work in Elements? I dragged it on the page, I added some images, but they don’t show up when I view it in the browser. I couldn’t find any tutorials on how to get it to work, and your manual is not much helpful either. It just explains that there is a slider, but not how it works.

Not sure… but drag a folder of images into the inspector

Give that a try…

actually thank you, I draged the images only it seems needs to be a folder so that worked silly me should follow instructions to the T. Ok that is sorted turns out it’s not a banner slider as I anticipated I just would like to have a few hero banners scroll through. Any chance how to achieve that?

I watched a tutorial how to create a video hero banner. I placed a small video file in there. Think I did everything as per instructions. It shows up in elements, but It won’t play in browser view nor elements. Any suggestions?
