Frequently Asked Questions

How many milestone items can I add to Timeline Milestones?

You can add up to ten Timeline blocks. Each block includes a year or short heading plus one description for that milestone.

How does a shopper move between timeline milestones?

Visitors click a year marker on the circular wheel. The script rotates the track and activates the selected milestone and description.

Why are some timeline items repeated around the circle?

The code repeats valid blocks until the wheel has at least about twenty-six rendered items, helping keep the circular track visually populated.

What happens if a timeline block is missing content?

A block is valid only when both its year and description are filled in. Incomplete blocks are skipped from the timeline wheel.

Can I customize the colors of active and inactive milestones?

Yes. Separate controls are provided for active timeline color, inactive year color, inactive dot color, description color, and circle border.

How does Timeline Milestones adapt across mobile screens?

On mobile, the track widens, year and description text become smaller, dots are fixed at 14px, spacing changes, and the bottom fade is removed.

Can I control the overall width of the timeline section?

Yes. The section includes a maximum-width text setting that controls the width of the centered page container.
