  • Is it possible to make the entire slider image a link instead of using the caption function with the little button?

    Hi Tracy,

    Thanks for writing. Unfortunately not, because it’ll mess up things with the navigation menu.

    Best,
    Juan.

    ok thanks

    I’m reading through the forum and seeing references to a transparent background behind the caption. Is that possible? My issue is the caption text is difficult to read on top of the image.

    Hi Tracy,

    Thanks for your response. Yes, actually you can customize your theme by adding CSS on the custom CSS option or within the custom.css file.

    The class you need to edit is .flex-caption{}

    Forgive me Juan, I’m not a great css programmer. Could you be a little more specific? I can see where to control the text, but not quite sure how to turn the background box on.

    Hi Tracy,

    The class .flex-caption{} is the one that holds the caption you see on each slide.

    So, if for example you apply a background color and other rules you’ll be able to fix the problem.

    For example:

    .flex-caption{ background: #333; }
    

    Will apply a dark grey background for the caption. Then, by playing with this class you’ll be able to customize that section.

    Best,
    Juan.

    Great, thank you that worked! Now, how do I make it transparent?

    Hi Tracy,

    Well, there are different ways, and some of them don’t work in old browsers.

    Unfortunately we don’t provide support on customizations. I’d recommend you to try the following and see if it works for you:

    .flex-caption{ background: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);}
    

    Best,
    Juan.

    ok, thanks for the learning opportunity!

    No problem 🙂

    Have a nice day,
    Juan.
