Step one: Create the Slideshow folder structure

1. Create a hidden section called Slideshow (Case sensitive), as a sub-section (child) of the landing page where the slideshow will live. Find out more about how to add a hidden sub-section to a page.

2. Create a second sub-section (child) of Slideshow, in this example Slideshow 1 items,  but you can name this anything you want. This sub-section is where you add each of the individual slideshow items. See graphic below, showing the hidden Slideshow section and the Slideshow 1 items sub-section. Hidden folders are the ones with the white folder icon.

Adding more than one slideshow on a page

If you want to add more slideshows, you will need to create another sub-section of Slideshow, for example Slideshow 2 items. This is where you would add the items for the second slideshow.

You will then need to add a second widget to your landing page which pulls in the items from your second sub-section.
