Make slider headline & description on homepage disappear when left empty

Hi,

I just installed the Blackbird theme and am setting up the site now. There's a number of things that I run into, which I'll post in a series of individual posts.

The first one is:
If a slide on the homepage does not have a Headline or Description, can we make the box that normally holds those disappear? (or at least have a size of 0px)

Also, is there a way to get rid of the default text in the first slide? (other than overriding it by inserting a new one - in this case I would like to leave it empty and not have a text box appear on the first slide at all).

Thanks

 

Hello,

Unfortunately there isn't a way to do that with our theme unless you custom code something up. Sorry.

But you can remove the text from the caption box by putting the code given below in the "First Slider Heading" section and
"First Slider Description" section in your dashboard.

Code:

<p></p>

Or

You can remove the caption box of slider from all the slider image by pasting the code given below, in your Custom CSS
(Appearance -> Theme Options -> Styling Options -> Custom CSS)

Code:

.flex-caption {
display: none;
}
