my theme on KesterArt.com and globetrotterinawheelchair.com : ‘Widely’ supports posts in the featured content area as a slideshow.. posts with the “featured” tag or a tag of my choice which is great.. however the captions/ the text in the posts in the slideshows are totally blocking the photos when viewing on tablets or smartphones.. can I remove the ‘captions’?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there!

If you enable the mobile-theme this should fix this. Please go to Appearance > Mobile in your Dashboard and select Yes to enable mobile theme. If you do that it should look like this in a mobile device:

This would be the easier way to have your captions visible in mobile/tablet devices as well as your site.

Let me know if you have any questions with this!

Hi.
I have enabled the mobile theme and I see what you mean. But I think you misunderstand. If you go to the frontage of the website there’s a slideshow running in the header.
When you look at a regular laptop it looks fine but when you look at a tablet or smartphone the text will cover or partly cover the photos running in the slideshow.
I wanted to attach a Photo here but I don’t see how I can?
But you should go to the frontpage as in http://www.kestetart.com on a mobile device: smartphone or tablet, and check out the slideshow in the header.
There you can see the photos almost covered from text.
Can I remove that text?
Thanks.

Hi there,

Yes you can do that if you edit CSS. Please go to Appearance > Customize > CSS in your Dashboard. Then remove the informational content and try adding this:
```
.theme-default .nivo-caption {
		display: none !important;
	}
```
Let me know if you have any questions with this!

oh Grace…

actually it does work on my computer but I’ve checked up on my iPhone, iPad, an android phone and android tablet… and the text is still there on all of them…?
I have included this CSS in the Mobile Theme..!

thanks!

Hi Kester!

I see that you made some edits to the CSS! In order to remove the captions on mobile, try adding this:
```
@media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) {
.theme-default .nivo-caption {
		display: none !important;
	}
}
```
Let me know if you have any questions!
