Features Sections

A features section presents a set of items — services, benefits, events or menu entries — as cards, text rows or a swipeable carousel, under a shared heading. Every display style reads the same list of cards, so you can switch between them without re-entering content.

When to use it

• Services, benefits or capabilities, each with a short description, an icon or image, and an optional link.
• Upcoming events with a date, time and location (Events display mode).
• A menu, price list, schedule or spec sheet (the Listing display style).

For a sequence of steps, use Steps. For short “what’s included” lines without cards, use a Checklist section. To list blog posts or other records automatically, use a Post Grid section.

Content

The Content tab has the header (Eyebrow Heading, Heading, Body Content), the cards, Buttons and Outro Content. Wrap words in the heading in {curly braces} to highlight them.

Each Feature Card has:

Field	What it is	Notes
Card Heading	The item’s title	Required.
Card Description	Supporting text	Rich text.
Card Media	Image or Icon for the card	With an icon, Icon Color picks Primary or Secondary.
Card Link	Where the card links to	Start typing to search your pages, or paste a URL.
Link Text	Text of a separate link, such as “Learn more”	Leave empty to link the card heading and image instead.
Link Target	Same Window or New Window
Link Color	Primary or Secondary
Custom Card Background	A background colour for this one card	Cards style only. Text and links adjust for contrast.
Trailing Value	A short value on the right of the row, such as a price	Listing only.
Group	A subheading placed above this row	Listing only. A subheading appears wherever the value changes from the row above, so the row order sets the groups.

In Events display mode each card is an Event with Event Name, Event Date, Event Time, Event Location, Event Description, Event Media and Registration/Details Link. Date and time are free text.

To add many cards at once, select Bulk add from list… and enter one per line, using :: to separate the heading from the description.

Layouts and display styles

Choose Display Style on the Layout tab, under Card Appearance.

Display Style	What it looks like
Grid	Cards in a responsive grid below the header. The default.
Inline	Cards beside the header content, in one or two columns.
Showcase	Cards on both sides of a central image, video or shortcode. Up to 6 cards; the central media is required.
Offset	Copy and cards in one column beside a large image that runs off the right edge. Up to 4 cards; a featured image is required.
Carousel	Cards on a horizontal rail with arrows and dots. Best for 4 or more cards.
Listing	Text rows instead of cards: name and description on the left, an optional value on the right.

Display Mode switches the cards between Features and Events. It is not offered with Showcase, Offset, or the Bordered and Hero card styles.

Card Style sets how each card is drawn. Grid offers all four; Inline, Offset and Carousel offer Cards and Minimal. Showcase and Listing have no card style.

Card Style	What it looks like
Cards	A background and border around each card.

Global setting

Whether each card’s link shows as a text link or a small button is set site-wide: Global Settings > Borders > Card CTA Style. See Global Settings.

Remix

Select the remix icon at the top of the settings panel (tooltip Remix layout - Try a random variant combination) to try another combination of display style, card style, columns and image options chosen to suit your content. Your content stays as it is. Undo with Ctrl+Z (Cmd+Z on a Mac).

Limits and common problems

• Cannot add more cards. Showcase takes 6 and Offset takes 4. Switch display style to use more.
• Showcase or Offset shows a warning. Showcase needs central media and Offset needs a featured image. Add one under Section Media.
• Events mode is missing. It is hidden for Showcase, Offset, Bordered and Hero. Choosing Offset switches an events section back to Features.
• The Hero or Bordered card style disappeared. They are Grid only. Switching to Inline or Offset changes the style to Minimal; Carousel changes Bordered to Cards.
• Button Position reset. Beside Heading exists only in Offset; other styles move the buttons back to After Outro.
• Trailing Value and Group are gone. They are shown and used only in Listing. They are kept when you switch away.
