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. If you do not see the Bold Builder’s interface, please click the Switch Editor button at the top of the page edit form
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.
• Show video on mobile devices – select if the video will be loaded on mobile or not. If it’s disabled add background image to the section.

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.
