Installing Builder Addons

Installing Builder Addons is exactly the same as installing WordPress plugins.

To install the addon:

• Firstly, download the addon zip file from the link provided in your Themify Member Area.
  • NOTE: some browsers (eg. Safari) auto extract zip files automatically. Right-click on the download link and select "Save Linked File As" and it will allow you to download as a zip file.
• Login to your site's admin area.
• Navigate to WP Admin > Plugins > Add New.
• Now, click the "Upload Plugin" link.
• Select "Browse" and navigate to the plugin zip file which you downloaded in the first step and then select the "Install Now" button.
• This will initiate the plugin installation process, and once finished, you can then activate the plugin.

Importing the addon demo layout

Each addon zip file contains a sample Builder data file which you can import to your site. It helps you to understand how the addon demo is created.

To import the addon demo data:

• First, extract addon zip file to your local computer
• You should have a folder of the addon. Inside there is a folder named "sample", and inside that folder there is a Builder data file in a zip format (eg. "addon_name_sample-builder-layout.zip").
• To import the Builder layout, login to admin and then go to the page frontend where you want to import the Builder layout. From the top admin bar > select Themify Builder > Import / Export > Import, upload the sample zip file.

Using the Typerwriter Addon

Once the addon is installed, you will find it on the Themify module panel. The module is available in both backend and frontend edit mode (just like all standard modules).

• Create or edit any page and turn on the Builder.
• You will see the Typewriter module in the module panel, under the "Addons" section.

• Drag and drop a Typewriter module in a row
• The options below will appear
  • 1) Module Title = Insert the module title that will appear at the top of the module
  • 2) Text Tag = Select the HTML tag that you would like to apply on all text
  • 3) Before Text = Text that will appear before the text
  • 4) After Text = Text that will appear after the text
  • 5) Text = This is the text that will appear with the typing and highlight animation
    • Note: In order for the typing animation to loop, you'll need to add more than 1 text. Adding only 1 text will only show the typing animation once
  • 6) Add New Text = You can add an unlimited number of texts. Each added text will overlap with the previous text, and enable the looping animation effect.

• In addition to the above features, you can also set the animation effect speed
  • 7) Highlight & Type Speed = Set the speed to fast, slow, or normal
  • 8) Clear Delay = Set how fast the text will disappear
  • 9) Type Delay = Set how fast the next text starts
  • 10) Highlight Delay = Set how fast before the text is highlighted
  • 11) Highlight Direction = Set the direction of the text highlight.

Builder Pro Dynamic

You can use Builder Pro to display the addon fields dynamically. Once you have Builder Pro activated, you will see a "Dynamic" toggle button on each field. With dynamic feature, you can display the field data from the post meta data, shortcodes, custom fields, and other fields created with plugins such as Post Type Builder and Advanced Custom Fields.
