 * i havent got the page up and running yet as im waiting to have it all finalised
   before posting the link, basically im starting a mens fashion shop and i have
   an image of a t shirt and when you hover over the image i want the word “T-Shirts”
   to basically pop up over the image.

 * There isn’t a built in option for this with products. Only with portfolio posts.
   You could edit the theme but that would require knowing a bit of code and we 
   would also recommend using a child theme.

 * i dont want to have it hover over products, if you see the example webpage i 
   put up it when you hover over the image it brings up the text down the bottom.
 * this site also explains how to do it but i am unsure how it all works

 * Mrgem79,
    Basically this isn’t a built in option for the theme, So regardless
   of how you want it to look it will require that you do it with custom code or
   use a plugin, which if you don’t know css then it would be your best bet.
 * Here would be an example plugin you can play with: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/egw-widgets-hover-effects/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/egw-widgets-hover-effects/)
