The sketch theme is perfect for what I need it for. The homepage just needs some tweaking.

I need help with css to do the following:

1. Remove “project” posts under slider. Right now it says “No projects found” because I simply want to use the homepage just as a slider.

2. Remove grey box and all copy in it on slider including post/page title and date.

3. Remove extra line under “no projects found.”

Thanks!

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

1 and 3

This message appears if your page template is is set to Portfolio Page Template but if you don’t have any portfolios.

To get rid of this message change the page template to either Default or Full Width, No Sidebar.

2.
This CSS removes the gray background of the post title and date on the slider:
```
.flexslider .entry-header {
background: transparent;
}
```

Hi there. Thanks for the help. To address 1 and 3 — I need to use the portfolio page template in order to utilize the homepage slider. Is there a way around using the slider without using the portfolio template?

Thanks!

Also, if you take a look at #2, the grey box is removed but the copy is not.

All above problems solved.

One last issue, the slider isn’t automatically changing to the next slider unless I press the arrows to manually navigate.

The slider is not designed to auto-play the slider.
