  Hi, I’m using the Orvis theme for my website and am using the portfolio display option as my home page, is it possible to make the words that appear on the featured images displayed on the home page always visible rather than just when you run the curser over? People I’ve sent the website to don’t know to click on the images to see more photos

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

  Hi there,
  Please try the following:

  .project-info {
  opacity: 1;
  }

  If you have more questions, just let me know :)

  Fantastic, thank you for you help. They are now showing but are not very visible as I am not able to change the colour of the font. Is is possible to but a darker but still transparent colour behind the white text to make it stand out when the image isn’t darkened (as it is when the cursor is run over it)?

  Sure! To not lose that nice effect the theme has when you hover over your portfolio projects, I suggest we play a little bit with the font color and weight (making it bolder).

  You can use the following CSS for the title:

  .portfolio-wrapper .project-info .entry-title a
  
  {
      color: #080202;
      font-weight: 900;
  }

  And for the little subtitle below, you can use this:

  .portfolio-wrapper .project-info .entry-meta a
  {
      color: #1f0606;
      font-weight: 900;
  }

  I set it up to a darker color, but you can chose the color you want by either just writing the color name, such as “red”, or using the hex color codes. You can use this online tool to find your write color:
