• Now you need to create promotions by clicking on “add new promotions”. You can give any title to your promotion.

• You have to add an image with your promotions and set that image as featured image. “Remember promotion slider only puts featured images in the slider”. Remember to choose suitable category for your promotions.
• Similarly you can create any number of promotions and insert separate images in each promotion that you want to be displayed in your slider.
