Introduction
The Cool Timelines plugin is a tool that lets you create vertical timelines to show events in the order they happened. This is especially useful for history projects, biographies, or anything where you need to show how something changed over time. Instead of just listing events in paragraphs, the timeline makes it visual and easier to follow.
Summary
To build the timeline, you create Timeline Stories. Each story is one event. You start by going to Timelines Addons > Add New Story. Then you give your story a title, write what happened, add a featured image, and choose the date that event took place. Once you publish it, that story becomes one point on your timeline. You keep repeating this process for every event you want to include so your timeline fills out step-by-step.
After all your stories are created, you add the timeline to your page. You can either use the Cool Timeline Shortcode block to insert a timeline you’ve already built, or use the Instant Builder block, where you can build the timeline directly on the page and see what it looks like as you go.
Conclusion
Using Cool Timelines makes information clearer and more organized. Instead of just reading a long explanation, people can visually see when each event happened and how they connect. It helps make your project look more professional and easier to understand.
Looking Forward
In the future, I can use this plugin for more than just history assignments. I could use it to show progress on a project, to explain someone’s life story, or even to track goals over time. It’s a simple tool, but it makes a big difference in how clearly information is presented.
the purpose
The Cool Timelines plugin allows you to create a cool vertical timeline that you can add to a page or post. Timelines is ideal for situations where you want students to create a representation of a historical event in chronological order.
