How Do I Create Layers in WordPress?
Creating layers in WordPress is a bit more complicated than it may seem. It can be useful to think of a layer as a sort of “window” into your site.
You can use different layers to show different parts of your site, or to organize your content into different categories. .

To create a new layer, click the plus (+) button next to the Layers list.

) In the Title field, type a title for your layer. In the Description field, type a brief description of your layer.
Next, you’ll need to decide what content your new layer will contain. You can add any content you want to your layer, including posts, pages, media, and custom fields.
(You can’t, however, add custom posts or custom pages to a layer.) .
