  Hi!

  Is there a way for me to remove the text from my Home page’s featured image and move it below the image while keeping the format of the text the same? I want to avoid putting the text in a widget.

  Thanks!

  Hi Cheyanne,

  Removing the text from overlaying the featured image is an easy matter. That’s the content of the static front page. You only need to delete it and update the page. I’m not sure where you inserted the button that appears below the featured image, but have you tried inserting the text the same place you inserted the button (above or below it)?

  I’m having the same trouble. When I delete the text from the page and click update, it reappears.

  Hi @srpswa,

  You could insert the text just above your Book Now button if you put it into a Text Widget in the Front Page Two area of your site. Once it is there, a few tweaks might need to be made using CSS, but if you can add the text, we can help you with the next part.

  Also, since you have WordPress.com Business, feel free to reach support over live chat at http://wordpress.com/contact if you like.

  @elizadecesare,

  Are you referring to a WordPress.com site? If so, which one? The posts in this topic specifically refer to the Goran theme. If your issue isn’t the same, then please start a new topic, here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/?new=1.

  @dcolenline,

  I was directed here to seek advice about moving the text below the image. I have tried the text widget and it just sets the text into a small paragraph instead of displaying the text to span across the page.

  Correct, that’s supposed to happen initially before we add the CSS. Could you return the text to the widget and then reply once you’ve done so?

  I can have a look at it to help with the CSS part.

  I have added the text and the widget back in place.

  Thanks :)

  Hi there,

  I needed to re-arrange a couple of the widgets, but if you add this to your CSS, you should be all set:

  .front-page-widget-area {
      padding-top: 48px;
  }
  .front-page-widget:first-of-type {
      font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif;
      font-weight: bold;
      text-align: center;
      font-size: 22px;
  }
  .front-page-widget:first-of-type .button {
      margin-top: 24px;
  }
  @media screen and (min-width: 1020px) {
      .front-page-widget:first-of-type {
          width: 100%;
      }
      .front-page-widget:nth-of-type(2) {
          clear: left;
          width: 100%;
      }
      .front-page-widget:nth-of-type(2) aside {
          float: left;
          width: 30%;
          padding-top: 0;
          margin: 0 1.66667%;
      }
  }
  @media screen and (max-width: 1019px) {
      .front-page-widget:nth-of-type(2) img {
          width: 100%;
      }
  }

  From here, if you’d like to add more widgets to the front page, I recommend adding them to the third front page widget area.

  You are awesome!!!! Thank you so much for your help!! It worked like a charm! My next question is will this count towards my SEO? Yoast SEO doesn’t recognize it.

  Again thank you for your help! I so appreciate it!

  Happy to help!

  In terms of SEO, the CSS doesn’t generate any content, so all of the content on the site should be picked up by search engines.

  You may want to check in the forums for the Yoast plugin to see if the folks there can help you find out why the plugin can’t detect the content.

  You’ll need a free WordPress.org account to post there. If you don’t already have one, you can create one at the link below:
