Hi all,
I’m trying to change the color of the text caption in my slideshow.
I am using the theme Didi and cannot seem to find the correct code.

If possible I’d also like to change the controls (next/previous) so that are either side of my image instead of underneath.

Color of text is my priority.
Thanks for the help!

Hi there, I’m not seeing a slideshow on your site anywhere. Can you give me a link to the page where it is and I’d be happy to take a look.

This is one of the slide shows but they are all the same except for the actual images!

I’ve been trying to fix this issue for what seems like forever. Thank you for your time.

Thanks for the link. Add the following CSS and adjust the color code as desired. I also removed the text shadow since it was making the text hard to read. Let me know how things go and if you have further questions.
```
.slideshow-slide-caption {
  color: #cc0000 !important;
  text-shadow: none !important;
}
```

Thank you thank you!! This worked for me!

At the risk of pushing my luck…is there a way I can ensure the text is always below the image? Or do I need to make the image a certain size to prevent this from happening?

I really appreciate your help!

The slideshow code is within the Jetpack software, and I’ve tried to move the caption down, but have not had any luck with that. Actually I can move it, but it disappears below. I’ve tried adding padding to some elements, but in the Jetpack CSS, it has some !important keywords applied to some rules and I can’t override those.

Hmm…thank you for your help! Is there anything else you’d recommend? Is there a different style slideshow I can use? Is there one where it’s possible to have the previous/ next controls either side of the image?

We support some other slideshows from places such as Slideshare and Instagram, but when using those, the code is pulled in from the source in a iframe, so there is little to no control over the styling. You can see what else is supported via shortcodes by clicking here.
