Generate: Dynamic Elements: Pixabay Image

The Pixabay shortcode inserts a dynamic, random image from Pixabay for each generated Page.

• Ensure that you’re using the Visual Editor by clicking the Visual tab:
  
• Click the black and white Pixabay icon in the Visual Editor toolbar:
  

Adding: Classic Editor / TinyMCE: Text Editor

• Click the Pixabay button in the toolbar:
  

Adding: Gutenberg

To add a Pixabay image within Gutenberg:

• Click the plus icon between two existing blocks, or towards the top left corner of the Gutenberg editor
  
• Start typing Pixabay into the Search for a block field, and click the Pixabay option that appears within the Page Generator Pro section

Adding: Page Builders

To add a Pixabay image within any Page Builder that supports a Text Editor widget/module using the Classic Editor (sometimes known as TinyMCE), refer to the Classic Editor instructions above.

Refer to the Dynamic Elements Documentation for details specific to your Page Builder.

If your Page Builder does not provide a Text Editor widget/block that uses the Classic Editor, you can still use Dynamic Elements.  However, you’ll need to manually build the shortcode, inserting it into your Page Builder’s content – for example:

[page-generator-pro-pixabay parameter="value" ...]

Configuration: Output

• Save to Library: If enabled, stores the found image in the Media Library.
  • Additional attributes, such as Caption, Filename and EXIF metadata can then be set.
  • If disabled, the image will not be imported into the Media Library. This may result in faster generation times, and the image will be loaded direct from the third party image source.

  • Other values may be available depending on the image sizes registered by your WordPress Theme and third party Plugins.
• Title: The title to assign to the image.
  • This can be a keyword.

  • This can be a keyword.
• Caption: The caption to assign to the image.
  • This can be a keyword.
  • If Save to Library isn’t enabled, this value is not set.  This is because the value is stored in the WordPress Media Library, and therefore requires that the image be saved to the Media Library
• Display Caption: If enabled, displays the caption below the image.
  • If Save to Library isn’t enabled, this configuration option is not available.  This is because the caption is only stored when saving the image to the WordPress Media Library.
• Description: The description to assign to the image.
  • This can be a keyword.
  • If Save to Library isn’t enabled, this value is not set.  This is because the value is stored in the WordPress Media Library, and therefore requires that the image be saved to the Media Library
• Filename: Define the filename to save the image as in the Media Library, excluding the extension.
  • This can be a keyword.
  • It’s useful to use a keyword and/or other terms to ensure that the filename is SEO friendly and related to your content.
  • If Save to Library isn’t enabled, this value is not set.  This is because the value is stored in the WordPress Media Library, and therefore requires that the image be saved to the Media Library
• Show Attribution: If enabled, displays an image attribution below the image, linking to the author and license type the image license.

The EXIF tab provides options to optionally write EXIF metadata to the image file.  This can be useful for Image SEO.

• Latitude: The image’s location’s latitude.
  • If Save to Library isn’t enabled, this value is not set.  This is because the image must be stored on the local web site for the EXIF metadata to be written
• Longitude: The image’s locations’ longitude.
  • If Save to Library isn’t enabled, this value is not set.  This is because the image must be stored on the local web site for the EXIF metadata to be written
• Comments: Comments about the image.
  • If Save to Library isn’t enabled, this value is not set.  This is because the image must be stored on the local web site for the EXIF metadata to be written
• Description: A description of the image.
  • If Save to Library isn’t enabled, this value is not set.  This is because the image must be stored on the local web site for the EXIF metadata to be written

If any value is blank and the imported image contains an existing value in the EXIF metadata, the existing value will be retained.

Any other EXIF metadata is retained.
