Can Dara Featured Content Image be Linkable?

    I’m in the set-up stages of a new blog and am having some difficulty using the Featured Content portion of the homepage. Rather than using the title from the “featured” tagged blog post, I’d like to create custom “featured images” with text embedded for the homepage reel.

    Is it possible to add customization that will make the entire image clickable in the Featured Content section? Currently, without the title included, there is no way to click through the blog post.

    Any insights are greatly appreciated!

    Hello Jessica,

    You should be able to customize this with CSS and get the appearance you’re looking for. Keep in mind that in order to adjust CSS, you’ll need to be on the Premium or Business plan. You can see what’s included with each plan here if you’re not already on one of these plans.

    If you’re already on an upgraded plan, go to your Customizer and click on the CSS tab.

    Copy and paste the following code at the bottom of the editor:

    .hero-content-wrapper .entry-title, .hero-content-wrapper .entry-title:hover, .hero-content-wrapper .entry-title:focus, .hero-content-wrapper .entry-title:active {
color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
}

.hero-content-wrapper .entry-title {
height: 100%;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
.hero-content-wrapper .featured-post {
padding: 0;
}
}

.hero-content-wrapper .featured-post {
padding: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}

    Essentially what this code does is make the title text invisible and adjusts the size of the link area to fit the size of the slides. This way you can add your text to the actual image as you mentioned and the whole slide can be clicked on.

    If you give this a try, let me know how it goes! :)

    @charleybea Wow, thank you! That worked! I had gone through WordPress support and they told me it wasn’t possible so I was about to give up.

    Totally appreciate your help :)
