Each item has separate <strong>Front<\/strong>, <strong>Back<\/strong>, and <strong>Style<\/strong> tabs. Unlike Post Flipbox, Story Flipbox does not populate cards by querying WordPress posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add Story Flipbox to Elementor<\/h2>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In WordPress, go to <strong>Pages \u2192 All Pages<\/strong> and open the page where the cards should appear.<\/li><li>Click <strong>Edit with Elementor<\/strong>.<\/li><li>In the widget panel, search for <strong>Story Flipbox<\/strong> and drag it into the intended section or container.<\/li><li>Select the widget and open <strong>Content \u2192 Flipbox Items<\/strong>. The control is a repeater: each row represents one card, and its label is based on that item&#8217;s front-side <strong>Title<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Expand a row to edit it, or use the repeater&#8217;s add-item control to create another card.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Configure the Front tab<\/h2>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Expand an item in <strong>Content \u2192 Flipbox Items<\/strong> and select its <strong>Front<\/strong> tab.<\/li><li>Enter the card heading in <strong>Title<\/strong> and supporting copy in <strong>Description<\/strong>. The source defaults for a new repeater item are \u201cDefault Title\u201d and \u201cDefault description text.\u201d<\/li><li>Choose an <strong>Icon Type<\/strong>: <strong>Icon<\/strong>, <strong>Icon Image<\/strong>, or <strong>Icon Text<\/strong>. The default choice is <strong>Icon<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Complete the field that appears for the selected type: <strong>Icon<\/strong> picker, <strong>Icon Image<\/strong> media control, or <strong>Icon Text<\/strong> field.<\/li><li><strong>Enable Button<\/strong> is off by default on the Front tab. Turn it on only if the front needs a button. When enabled, <strong>Button Text<\/strong> appears with the default \u201cClick Here\u201d. The <strong>Button URL<\/strong> field has an additional condition: it appears only when <strong>Enable Back<\/strong> is off. If the item also has its back enabled, the Front tab&#8217;s URL field is hidden by the plugin. The source default URL for a new item is <code>#<\/code> when that field is available.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Configure the Back tab<\/h2>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Select the item&#8217;s <strong>Back<\/strong> tab.<\/li><li><strong>Enable Back<\/strong> is on by default. Leave it enabled to provide a reverse side, or turn it off to make the item front-only. The back title, description, icon, and button controls depend on the back being enabled.<\/li><li>Enter the back-side <strong>Title<\/strong> and <strong>Description<\/strong>. The new-item defaults are \u201cDefault Title\u201d and \u201cDefault description text.\u201d<\/li><li>Choose the back-side <strong>Icon Type<\/strong> and complete its matching icon, image, or text control. The control defaults to <strong>Icon<\/strong>, though preloaded example items may override that value.<\/li><li>Back-side <strong>Enable Button<\/strong> is on by default. Leave it on to show a button, or turn it off if the card does not need one. When enabled, set <strong>Button Text<\/strong> and <strong>Button URL<\/strong>; the field defaults are \u201cClick Here\u201d and <code>#<\/code>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set item-specific colors<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open the item&#8217;s <strong>Style<\/strong> tab within <strong>Content \u2192 Flipbox Items<\/strong>. These controls affect the selected card rather than every card in the widget.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Front controls: <strong>Front Background<\/strong>, <strong>Front Title Color<\/strong>, <strong>Front Desc Color<\/strong>, <strong>Front Icon Color<\/strong>, and <strong>Front Button Color<\/strong>.<\/li><li>When <strong>Enable Back<\/strong> is on, back controls appear: <strong>Back Background<\/strong>, <strong>Back Title Color<\/strong>, <strong>Back Desc Color<\/strong>, <strong>Back Icon Color<\/strong>, and <strong>Back Button Color<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Save and check the collection<\/h2>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Repeat the steps for each card and review the item order.<\/li><li>Replace sample text and the default <code>#<\/code> button URLs with your own content and destinations.<\/li><li>Open <strong>Content \u2192 Layout Settings<\/strong> and choose the required arrangement.<\/li><li>Click <strong>Update<\/strong>, preview the saved page, and check both faces, buttons, colors, and responsive layout.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continue with <a href=\"\/docs\/flipbox-addon-for-elementor\/manage-story-items\/\">Manage Story Flipbox Items<\/a> for editing details or <a href=\"\/docs\/flipbox-addon-for-elementor\/configure-story-collection-layout\/\">Configure the Story Collection Layout<\/a> for arrangement and animation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Screenshot to add: Story Flipbox selected in Elementor with <strong>Content \u2192 Flipbox Items<\/strong> expanded, one item row selected, and the Front tab&#8217;s Title, Description, Icon Type, and Enable Button controls visible.
