Removing caption text from slideshow images?

    Hi, I’ve just started using the meta slider.

    I want my images to not have any caption text showing, as it is distracting from the purpose of the page, and also gets in the way of part of the images.

    However in the metaslider editor, if I delete the text in the caption box, it also deletes the caption text in my media library! Obviously I don’t want this, as those images are used elsewhere on the site in blogs etc, where the caption is needed.

    Surprised that there is no option in the metaslider editor to hide the caption.
    Can anyone suggest how I get around this?

    many thanks
    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Do you have a link to your slider?

    We should be able to provide some CSS for you to hide the caption.

    Many thanks,
    Dave

    Hi Dave,

    Erm yes the slider can be found at: http://www.skyhook.tv/about-us

    (it’s the top slider at the moment, i haven’t sorted out the 2nd one yet)

    Is that link enough, or do you need something else? – sorry, not massively wordpress savvy (yet)

    thanks
    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Yep, that’s all we need.

    Try adding the following CSS to your theme’s style.css file:

    .metaslider .flexslider .caption-wrap {
    display: none;
}

    Thanks,
    Dave

    Amazing – that seems to have done it!
    Took me a while to work out where the CSS page way but I got there in the end.

    Thanks very much Dave.
