    I wish to make the widgets "Front Page 2" and "Front Page 4" transparent. How can I possibly do it. Thank you!

    Hi,

    you can add the following code to your style.css:

    #text-5,
    #text-7 {
          opacity: 0.6;
    }

    Adjust the value for opacity to your liking.

    If - by transparent - you mean faded, you can use the following CSS:

    #front-page-2 {
    	opacity: 0.m;
    }
    #front-page-4 {
    	opacity: 0.n;
    }
    

    ... where - broadly speaking - m and n can be any numeric value ranging from 1 to 9 ... thus making the opacity value 0.5 or 0.8 ...

    Is that what you're looking for?

    Maybe we're both right ... and there is always the chance that we both got it completely wrong 🙂

    One thing we both neglected to mention is that the opacity value ranges from 0 to 1 ... with 0 being completely invisible ... and 1 being fully visible ...
