How to Add Layered Content Sections

Adding layered content is very simple:

  1. Log into your WP admin
  2. Navigate to Pages or Posts and either create a new one or edit a previously created one
  3. Under Page Attributes > Template, select “Layers” and save
  4. Add layered content sections with the following shortcode:
    
    [layer]
    Hello World!
    [/layer]
    

Example With Multiple Layers and Optional Parameters


[layer id="layer-1" class="odd" color="#fff" padding="5%" background-color="#000" background-image="https://lawyerweb.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/bg-plain.jpg"]
Blah blah blah.
[/layer]

[layer id="layer-2" class="even"]
Beep beep beep.
[/layer]

You may add whatever id you like and as many classes (space-separated) as you like.

Built-in classes include:

left
center
right
layer-inner
overlay
force-white-text
force-black-text

layer-inner creates a more narrow content area within the layer, if needed.

overlay allows you to fade a background image for more legible text, if needed.

force-white-text and force-black-text can override theme styles to force all text within the layer to be white or black, if and when needed.

For color, padding, background-color, and background-image parameters, you may treat this just like normal CSS, adding either a color name like red or color code like #ff0000 or a full image URL.
