To create a new Page you need to follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Pages in your wp-admin sidebar and click Add New option.
2. Input a new name for your page, then enter the content using Bold Builder.
3. Set page settings and add Override Global Settings if needed.

When you create a page you will see Switch Editor button. If you do see classic WordPress’ HTML editor, please click Switch Editor button to get Bold Builder editor.

Section is the basic building block of Bold Builder. It is the first element added to the page, and it contains all other elements of the page.

Each new section is added by clicking on + button.

Here’s the break-down of all options in Section’s edit panel.

General settings:

• Layout – here you can select the width of the section.
• Top / Bottom spacing – set the top and bottom padding of the section.
• Full screen – if full screen is selected, section will take up full viewport of the browser. Top and bottom spacing will be ignored.
• Vertical align (for full screen section) – set the content’s vertical align when the section is set to full screen.

Design settings:

• Color scheme – select the content’s color scheme. If there is no custom background color or image set, section’s background will adjust to background of the selected color scheme.
• Background color – set the section’s background color. Color won’t be visible if the background image is selected.
• Background image – set the section’s background image.
• Background overlay – here you can set the overlay of the section’s background.
• Parallax – set if the section will have parallax or not. If the field is left empty, section will not have parallax, and if the value is added, the parallax will work.
• Parallax offset in px – set the section’s offset.

Video settings:

• YouTube background video – paste the video’s URL to set it as a background.
• Video settings – set desired settings for the video. You can find settings on the following link.
• MP4 / OGG / WEBM background video – paste the video’s URL to set it as a background.

*Note that video background does not work on mobile devices due to technical constraints of video players. Please add the background image as well since the video falls back to the image on mobile.

Responsive settings:

• Here you can select whether the section will be visible or hidden on certain screen sizes.

Custom settings:

• Publish / expiry date – this feature allows you to set the time and date when the section will be published or when it will expire (meaning it will no longer be visible).
• Element ID – can be used to apply new CSS for that one specific element, or to create anchor links.
• Extra Class Name(s) – here you can add existing class to apply its CSS to the section, or create new class with different CSS.
• Inline style – this field is used for inline CSS that will apply to the section.

In the lower part of the screen you can see Bold Builder main toolbar. Main toolbar options are:

1. Undo – you can undo your changes to page layout using this button.
2. Redo – you can redo your  changes to page layout using this button.
3. Paste – you can paste clipboard contents to the bottom of the page layout. Just next to the paste button you can see a number which represents the number of items currently present on the clipboard.
4. Clipboard Manager – This is unique feature of Bold Builder. You can easily copy and paste contents between different web sites. Once you click clipboard manager button and then click Export, Bold Builder exports.
5. Preview – the same as Preview button on the Page edit form – by clicking on it you can preview the current page layout.
6. Save – the same as Update button on the Page Edit Form – updates the layout of the page by saving the changes not essential for content creation so we will skip them (you can learn more about Bold Builder if you take a look at documentation which comes with it).

Next, place your mouse pointer over top area to show toolbar. Click ‘+’ to add a Row which is another basic content element. Now click ‘+’ in Row toolbar to add columns.

You can rearrange elements using drag and drop, clone and clipboard commands.

To edit content element properties, click Edit icon from element toolbar. You will see Edit dialog with various options, depending on which shortcode you are editing:

All sections, rows, columns or elements can be copied and pasted on pages.

To use Custom menu on a page, just enter menu name in Menu Name input box.

To use full screen animations select animation type from Animations. Section elements settings Animation (forward/backward) or Impress Animation Settings need to be defined if you want to use full screen animations. Please see demo examples for more information about animations.

To override menu, just enter menu name in the Menu Name field.

The possible values for the settings can be found in the Theme Customization part as a preformatted text below the setting name. If you want to reset a setting to default value, just enter ‘null’ (without quotes). Click ‘+’ button to add new override and ‘-’ button to remove previously entered override.

Please have a look at the following example:

In order to edit / remove excerpt text, navigate to the Page editor, and in Screen Options (at the top of the dashboard) enable Excerpt field.

In order to entirely remove the image, click on ‘Remove featured image’ button.
