To control the postion of the Caption, use the attribute caption_position=”left”. Acceptable values are left, right, top, bottom. For example, [banner caption_positon="left"].
To use an image tag, instead of background image, for the banner, add the attribute “use_image_tag=true” to your banner shortcode. For example, [banner use_image_tag=true].
Outputting Fading or Sliding Banners
To output Random Banners from a Specific Group, place the shortcode [banner group='test' count='3' transition='scrollHorz' timer='2000'] in the desired area of the Page or Post Content. Change the value of count from 3 to however many slides you want to use. For transition, use either ‘scrollHorz’ or ‘fade’.
