  Can you give me the code I can add to CSS to hide the navigation buttons on the gallery slideshow I created. They are too large and intrusive.

  Also, is there a code I can add that will change the length of time between slides?

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

  Hi Jackie,

  Here’s that CSS you were looking for to hide the controls.

  div.slideshow-controls {
      display: none;
  }

  I don’t believe there’s anything you can do at the moment to control the duration slideshow images appear.

  @lifeaccording2god – As distracting as it may be, apparently the decision to have the Slideshow navigation buttons this way was based on accessibility issues.

  I’d much rather see an overall change to the Slideshow that would encompass accessibility issues without being distracting. I initially posted about it here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/change-in-slideshow-navigationcaption-visibility?replies=14

  Alternatives:
  1. You can post a thumbnail Gallery linked to the Photo Carousel, which is advanced manually.
  2. You can use a Slideshare or SpeakerDeck slideshow in place of the native WP Slideshow.

  Yes, I understand that these are not CSS solutions, but wanted to let you know there are other options available.

  Using the code provided above by “daschultemn” I have removed the buttons and am very pleased. Thank you for the help
