3. To master Lightbox in 1 minute!

For better instruction, take a look at our tutorial video ​here​!

● First, make sure to add "Lightbox" element into WPBakery Page Builder back-end editor
(located in ​KIT Addons​ tab)
The "Lightbox Settings" panel will open > Set the Lightbox ID. You can type any name you want,
this ID helps a button (or anything can open a link) to identify which lightbox to open.

Click "​+​" to add any element inside lightbox. Or you can drag element into it.
Done. You've successfully created a Lightbox.

● Next, let's create a button to open this lightbox!

By default, the "Button" element of VCKit (located in​ KIT Addons​ tab) has a function to open a
Lightbox.

Let's add a VCKit's Button:


In the "Button Settings", scroll down to the end and find "​Advanced on click action​" box, choose
"​Open lightbox​".

The "​Lightbox ID​" field will appear, type the chosen Lightbox ID. (as example above: "demo").

Done. Now when clicking on this button , it will open the Lightbox with ID "demo" (the one has a
video inside it).

● Here is a tip!

Beside VCKit's Button, you can make any other element to open VCKit's lightbox, as long as that
element​ has a function to "Open a Link"​.
Add an element which has option to open a link.
● Fill in the URL field: ​#lightboxid​ (remember to add ​#​ and remove ​http​)
● Add extra class name: ​open-vckit-lightbox
● That's all steps to make this element open a Lightbox instead of a link.

For example:
Add a ​Single image​ > Set "​On click action": "Open custom link​" > Fill in the Image Link: ​#demo
Add an extra class name in this Single image element: ​open-vckit-lightbox

And you are done!

4. Carousel Slider
You can “Carousel anything” by using “Carousel” element.
The Carousel Settings will show up for you to adjust all general settings of this carousel.

Click on “+” to add a Carousel Item.


 
You can add an element to Carousel Item by clicking on “+” or drag an element into it.

Each item should be added in a Carousel Item.

You can always edit settings of this Carousel by clicking on the pencil symbol to show the “Carousel
Settings”. In here, you can choose the number of item to show per row on each screen size.
5. Testimonial
Installing “Testimonials by WooThemes” can be done either by searching for “​Testimonials by
WooThemes​” via the ​Plugins > Add New​ screen in your WordPress dashboard, or by using the
following steps:

● Download the plugin via ​WordPress.org​.


● Upload the ZIP file through the ​Plugins > Add New > Upload​ screen in your WordPress
dashboard.
● Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
● Place ​<?php do_action( 'woothemes_testimonials' ); ?>​ in your templates, or use the
provided widget or shortcode.

Please watch our ​tutorial video​ for better understanding.

6. Icon Box
This element is actually ​Elegant Icon Box​, so you can watch ​tutorial video​ for more instruction.

7. Contact Form 7
Install C
​ ontact Form 7​ first to use this addon.

10. Gradient Background
It’s a row background with gradient.
After adding “Gradient Background” element, the “Gradient Background settings” panel will appear.
(you can always open its panel by clicking on the pencil symbol).

● There are 2 types of gradient: Linear or Radial.


● Add your color gradient in Color strip, you can add as many colors as you want and set the
percentage of each color appearance.
● You can also choose Direction of Linear, or choose Shape of Radial.
● You can add an image background under the color gradient. (​Note​ that the image is ​under
the color, so you need to lower the opacity of each color to see the image)
