Genesis Responsive Slider: Remove border, disable images, fix blanks.

[BP]

Please...

1.) How do you remove the light blue square border?

2.) Is there a way stop images from being displayed? I only want the article title to be displayed. No content excerpts etc.

3.) The display shows blank occasionally as it circulates. Seems to happen with long titles. Is there a fix for this?

See slider below articles here: http://www.guruhabits.com/

I do not see a slider on this page? Can you please explain what you are referring to in more detail?

Thank you for your interest, Herb. I meant at the end of any article. See the slider at the bottom of the page, for example, here: http://www.guruhabits.com/reduce-stress/

#genesis-responsive-slider {
background-color: #fff;
border: 10px solid #eee;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 10px;
position: relative;
}

is in your stylesheet...

you can add:

#genesis-responsive-slider {
border: none;
}

to get rid of that.

Let me know if that works for you.

looks like:

.slide-image img {
display: none;
}

will kill the images...

Herb, I put the code here: Genesis/Custom Code/Custom CSS, but the border and images are still showing.

disable w3 Total cache, and let me if the issue persists...

if this fixes it, then delete the cache and re create cache

if you disable the plugin you will not lose your settings, your setting are in the database - so beyond turning the caching off, you can disable the plugin and then we can move to the next step if this still persists

I added this to Custom CSS:

#genesis-responsive-slider {
border: none;
}

.slide-image img {
display: none;
}

And deactivated W3 Total Cache.

But border and images still showing.

#genesis-responsive-slider {
border: none !important;
}

.slide-image img {
display: none !impotant;
}

for prose, also check that minify css is unchecked.

if this persists we might need to check folder permissions...

Border is gone!!!

Images are still showing. Apparently the images show when the article has a photo. But then no title shows - just the image. So that's why I want to stop the images. If the title is extra long, nothing shows.

I reactivated W3 Total Cache to see what would happen. Border still gone, images still show.

I'm following your instructions on this site BTW: http://www.smallmore.com/advantages-of-the-hdtv-computer-monitor-combo/

I really appreciate all your help, Herb. Sorry to be such a pain.

No worries - your problem today is my problem tomorrow - haha : )

The text is an overlay so if we hide the image it looks like we lose the overlay...

I need to review the setting for the genesis responsive slider, I do not use it too often. I know there is way to specify the width and position of the overlay.

Let me look into this quickly...

You might need some type of "related post rotator" , or similar, since that is what you really are trying to accomplish, and the slider is really meant to be an image slider first and foremost...

I already have a related posts plugin.

What I like about the GRS is that it shows random posts at any quantity that I select.

okay try this:

.slide-image {
opacity: 0;
}

hahaha

The image issue isn't that crucial. They attract attention. But I'd sure like extra long titles to show.

I think we're stuck - you can target the alt tag, but the break-line and word-wrap does not work for attributes...

Where are the titles coming from - is that the post title?

your best bet would be to go into the plugin and comment out the code for the image unfortunately...do you know how to use the editor in the admin panel to edit the plugin.

then I would copy the code changes or make good notes.

the main issue is that this plugin is purpose built to display images as the first priority, and removing that goes against it's primary objective as an image slider...

Do you know how to edit the plugin files in wordpress?
