Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Cool Timeline (Horizontal & Vertical Timeline)

Creating a timeline is easy. Simply create posts, set images, and assign dates to them. The plugin will automatically organize your posts in chronological order, either ascending or descending, based on your preference.

The year starts from 1970 in the free version but in pro version you can choose any historical year from 1000 to 2050 to create a story inside Cool Timeline or you can also add custom text instead of date/year.

Here is the full shortcode of the Cool Timeline plugin:- [cool-timeline layout="default" skin="default" date-format="F j" icons="YES" show-posts="20" animation="FadeInOut" order="DESC" story-content="full"]

Of course! The timeline slider can display blog posts, project steps, or product roadmaps, making it flexible for different use cases.

No. The dedicated Story Timeline element lets you create and customize timelines visually inside Bricks Builder without manually adding timeline shortcodes.
