Hi there. I’ve just started using the Minimatica theme and while it’s been great so far, the captions that appear when you mouse over the slider boxes has been bothering me.
How would one go about removing the captions while keeping the title portions?
Thanks in advance!Hi Ephras!
I am having the same problem as well. If you figure out how to get rid of them before I do, please let me know how you did it. I will definitely inform you of whatever feats of coding that I manage 🙂
At the moment my solution is a big convoluted. I’m using the “Quick Page/Post Redirect DEV” plugin to basically direct one post to another. That way the post the sliders are actually linked to are left blank.
Any ideas for a more permanent solution?
No, I have not been able to find a more permanent solution and, actually, now I cannot even see my website on the localhost that I setup. I am starting to think this would have been easier had I simply paid someone to do it for me 🙂
Hey Ephras!
I just stumbled upon this bit of coding that Daniel, the creator of the Minimatica theme, wrote in order to restrict the number of words in the captions under the titles of the gallery slider boxes. It does not fix the issue we are having entirely but it is definitely an improvement to the paragraph of text I originally had under mine! Hope this helps.
Add this to functions.php:
function minimatica_excerpt_length( $length ) {
return 25;
}add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, ‘minimatica_excerpt_length’ );
Taken from here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-minimatica-how-to-show-images-on-homepage
I just tried the coding out and, for some reason, when I put it into my functions.php folder, everything stops working so if it works for you please let me know!
I figured out how to do it!
In loop.php and loop-slider.php there are tiny sections that have to do with “excerpt”. Find those clauses, delete them and you should be in working order!
Good luck!
