  Hello,
  I am wondering if someone could help me remove all text (title & date) and box from my content slider? Also, if it’s possible to resize the slider to something smaller?

  Thank you!

  Hi,

  To remove title and date, paste this code in your custom css field:
  .slideshow .slide-info {
  display: none;
  }

  try to set smaller images in your slider. Now, they are 1160x600px.

  Best Regards

  Thank you! The css for the text worked perfectly!

  For the slider images however, even smaller images automatically stretch to 1160. Is there a css to change the set image size?

  Thanks for you help!

  Hi, the height of the slideshow is controlled by a bottom padding declaration. Add the following and adjust the 40.678% and let us know if you have any problems.

  .slideshow .slide-media {
      padding-bottom: 40.678%;
  }

  Hi there!!
  I would like to do the same, it would be brilliant to be able to remove the box and text.

  I am a newbie and haven’t worked with the ccs yet. Is it even possible having a free account?

  If so could you tell me where I find the custom ccs field? Is it within the posts that I want the image of to be featured or the front page?

  Thank you for your help! Best wishes.

  Hi @cgfotografie, you have a lot of sites associated with your username, and one self-hosted site. I’m not sure which of those sites you are wanting to modify. CSS is theme specific, so we would have to know which site you are talking about.

  To make this sort of modification here at WordPress.com, you would need the WordPress.com Premium Plan upgrade, which includes Custom Design and the ability to add custom CSS.

  This thread is about the Toujours theme, so if you are talking about a different theme can I ask you to create a new thread in the CSS Forum? Many thanks in advance.

  hi @thesacredpath
  Thank you for getting back at to me! Your reply is very helpful. I am trying out the Toujour on one of my sites, but I didnt know that I need to upgrade to be able to access custom CSS.
  Thank you very much! All the best.

  Absolutely, @cgfotografie. :) If you decide to upgrade then feel free to start a new thread on this forum and we’ll help with custom CSS from there.
