  • If you don’t want to display a specific banner, leave the Image URL blank.

What size should my banner images be? #

  • Depending on the layout, your banners will vary in size. Generally though, we recommend images with 800×800 or higher.
  • On the demo site for your theme, right click and inspect the image for the right dimensions.
