Formatting text in Genesis Slider

[Ben @ Inbound Creative]

Maybe I'm being thick, so apologies if I've missed something really simple.

I'm trying to format the text displayed in the Genesis Slider on the front page. I don't want the title of the post being used, as I want it to be something different for SEO purposes.

Here's a picture of what I'm trying to achieve.

It's just the formatting of the text that I'm running up a against a brick wall as the widget strips all formatting from the post. I also can't see the CSS that's controlling that.

Also, as a side question, when I set the opacity of the .agent .slider-excerpt to anything less than 1.0, it also affects the text and link. Anyway to get around that?

Thanks

The slider settings has it's own CSS which is located in the plugin. You can grab the slider CSS from the plugin, add to your theme style.css and customize it from there. I cannot answer the question about the opacity.

Thanks Anitac.

I ended up managing to solve the issue in the following way (for anyone else that's interested).

I changed the slider content settings to pull from the excerpt.

I then used inline span styling to get the right look, before creating classes and adding them to the css file.

It was then simply a case of adding <span class="#"> and the relevant class to each line.

As for the opacity, I ended up using rgba to get the look (I know it won't work on IE).

Changing the background attribute in .slider-excerpt to "background: rgba(255,255,255,0.8);" (the 0.8 controlling the opacity) did the job.
