What's inside Omnis
- Elements are a feature of the Omnis Theme that allow you to save predefined sets of content as templates for reuse across your site. This eliminates the need to recreate the same layouts repeatedly. Users can create their own elements or import hundreds of predefined elements using Omnis Studio.
Overview of Omnis Theme Templates
Omnis Templates allow you to create custom layouts for different post types and assign them globally or to specific pages. Templates can be used to overwrite Global Theme Options or to create complex layouts using Dynamic Content to place post data (like titles, content, and thumbnails) in specific locations.Overview of Revolution Slider 6 in Omnis Theme
Revolution Slider 6 is a visual editor used to create rich, dynamic, and modern website content without requiring coding experience.
