# Move description below slideshow

 * Is there are an official way to put the title and description below the slideshow’s
   image area instead of overlaying it?
 * An even better solution for my case would be to insert the description and the
   slideshow separately from one another.
    **Ie:** Slideshow:
 * > ‘<?php do_action(‘slideshow_deploy’, ’35’); ?>’
 * Description:
 * > ‘<?php do_action(‘description_deploy’, ’35’); ?>’
 * Or something like that.
 * Any thoughts would be helpful.
 * Kind regards,
    Pete.

 * Hi Pete,
 * I strongly agree: It would be very useful to have more description text options.
   As a photographer or designer it sometimes is not satisfying to overlay a picture
   with text.
 * This slideshow plugin is not only easy and flexible to use but also rather powerful.
   Some more features in the settings for the description would be a perfect fit.

 * Pete, I tried a workaround — but this is not a flexible or even nice solution:
 * Change “Proportional relationship” in the slideshow settings and you can have
   the description below the slide.
 * **Example**
    My setting for “Proportional relationship” is 3:2. I change this
   to 3:2.35 which adds enough (static) space below the slide for two text lines.
   Constraint:
    - You can’t have more than two text lines in this case (with the settings in
      my example).
    - If there’s only one text line it will be shown at the bottom (`<br/>  ` is
      not possible to get an empty extra line).

 * Big thank you for this solution. Most photographers i know get a rather rabid
   look on their face, and traces of steam about the ears, when they see captions
   overlaying their photos 🙂 — it was a show-stopper for a web page rollout for
   the photographer i work for. I was about to wrestle with more css complication
   than i really needed to, and luckily did a web search first and found this.
 * It also worked for me to leave the default proportional setting in the main settings,
   and just change the “Slideshow’s height” in the individual slideshow’s settings.
   This was good for us, as we have other slideshows on the site that do not want
   captions at all.
 * Wasn’t going to put page link, so as not to be one of those advertising kind 
   of people, but then i saw the notice about including link “so others can see 
   the problem”, and hey, maybe would be useful to see a solution as well!
