  Hi all

  I’m having difficulty resizing the black box that overlays the slider featured content image on the home page.

  Essentially I just want to reduce it’s width.

  Thank you for any help

  The original code for that area is:

  .slider .featured-content .entry-header {
      width: 50%;
  }

  Modify that number to get the width you want. You can probably also use px too, e.g: 100px, if you want to be more precise.

  Hi hfzrhmn

  Thank you for your response, I changed that width to 30% and did not notice a difference, which makes me wonder if the 2014 extended plugin I have active is overriding the modifications to the style.css.

  Thank you again for taking the time to respond.
