    Important Note

    The Custom Field name, KSA Banner, must be the same for all Locations.

  4. Toggle to HTML view </> and paste in the entire contents of the plugin. Update the percentages and link URL if you haven't already (as highlighted in the screenshot below). Click Save to close the window, then Update to save the new Location configurations.
