  Hey elliexrachel! It would be great if you could let us know the steps you’re taking to create a slideshow. Is it with a plugin, or some other method?

  Happy to look into this further for you!

  Hi again elliexrachel,

  I looked into this further for you and I understand you’ve created a Slideshow within a page or post, right?

  There’s nothing in the settings to change the black background, but how comfortable are you with editing your CSS? You can follow these steps to remove the black background:

  1. Go to your theme’s Customize setting
  2. Click on Additional CSS
  3. Add the following code:

  .slideshow-window {
  	background: none !important;
  	border: none !important;
  }

  ..then click save.

  Let me know if that worked!

  Hi,

  That worked perfectly! Thank you so much.
  Do you by any chance have some HTML that will allow me to create three columns within a post?

  Glad to hear that worked! Let me see if I can help with your column request as well.

  It’s not possible to create columns using the html editor within a post, but it may be accomplished through a plugin such as Advanced WP Columns:

  Once you have the plugin installed (let me know if need some guidance here!), here’s a handy video that walks you through how to set up your columns in posts:
