If you select Dynamic as content type from the starting placeholder, it will automatically query the latest posts and the latest 3 posts will be used to create the slider.
No worries, you will be able to filter the posts and modify the query. However, once you start the dynamic content, make sure which elements you want to keep visible. They are 3 elements that can be visible in the slider. They are:-
- Title: Toggle this option to show or hide the title on the slider.
- Linked Title – Enables or disables the clickable title link.
- Excerpt: Shows or hides the excerpt (short summary).
- Link: If you enabled link, it provides additional link options:
- Button – Displays a button as the link.

- Both – Enables both button and global linking together.
- Title Tag – Defines the HTML heading tag (e.g., H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, div, P, Span ) for the title.
- Read More Text – Customizes the text for the “Read More” link/button.
- Excerpt Length – Controls the number of words or characters displayed in the excerpt. ( users can use an excerpt length of up to 1-100 words.)
