Custom Field For Featured Text Panel

[Russell H.]

The "Featured Text" panel is the panel that appears under the featured gallery (slider) when the "Featured Panel" template is being used.

In order to place content into the "Featured Text" panel, you do so by using a "Custom Field" (if you can't see that panel then you might need to check the display box for it in "Screen Options" in the drop down menu at the top of the page editor).

There are basically 2 values to any custom field,.. 1)"name" and 2)"value"
To activate a custom field for the Featured Panel area, we type the word "text" (all lower case without "" ) and then in the "value" field you paste in the html code for the content you wish to appear. That can be text, images, video or even the "quote rotator" content using the new widget we created for that.
I suggest using a draft page/post so you can create the content you want using the post/page editor and then switch to "html view" and copy that html code and paste it into your custom field for the page you're working on.
If you want the "quote rotator" content to appear in the featured panel then all you need to do is to use this shortcode [wplb-quoterotator] and it will appear (use a separate line with space above and below if using the widget).
Once you have done all of that you need to click Save and then it will appear on your page.
