Widget Settings

All widgets build into your theme are prefixed with “DT-“. E.g. “DT-Pregress Bars”, “DT-Portfolio Projects”, “DT-Contact Info”, etc.

Most of them have such common options as:

  • Title (optionally): this label is displayed above the widget.
  • Category: select which category of a custom post type to display in this particular widget.
  • Number of items to display.
  • Sort by: choose a parameter to order widget entries (name, date, etc.).
  • Ordering: set the Ascending or Descending mode of the ordering.
  • Show featured images.
  • Autoslide: set a animation time-out. If you point zero “0”, it disables slider autoplay. Attention! The time interval should be set in milliseconds (1000 milliseconds = 1 second).

All widgets interfaces has self-explaining settings names, so please feel free to experiment with them.

If you use native The7 sidebars and footers, you can display widgets through Dashboard -> Appearance -> Widgets. If you use Elementor templates, you can find widgets under “WordPress” tab (fig. 2):
