Removing titles from Galleries

    Hello,

    I am really enjoying this plugin, but I am having a problem removing some unwanted text.

    On my site, I am using an album of galleries, because I want the gallery cover to link to a page so that I have better control over the content than I get in a traditional gallery. I would really love for the gallery labels to be gone so that the images speak for themselves. The text is visual clutter that I am trying to remove, and I imagine I would also need to remove the space that the title appears in. However, I can’t see anywhere where this can be turned off.

    I have searched through the forums but can only find people asking for titles to be removed from individual images and I don’t think that is the same thing.

    I would also love to be able to remove the alt text that shows up on image mouseover, but that is not a deal breaker.

    Thanks for any help you are able to give.

    Hi @featherhead,

    Please try to use this CSS rule to hide the captions and remove the borders from Basic Grid Album:

    
.ngg-album-compact {
    padding: 0 12px 4px 0 !important;
    margin: 0px !important;
    border: none !important;
    box-shadow: none !important;
}

    Unfortunately, NextGen doesn’t provide with a possibility to remove the alt/titles from the images so I would search for a third party solution on Google.

    Hi. I am not sure where to put this. I tried putting it in Gallery>Other Options>Styles. Custom CSS is enabled, and under “What stylesheet would you like to use” the drop down only has default, but the text under it says to
    “Place any custom stylesheets in wp-content/ngg_styles”

    I tried putting it into the box for file content, but it didn’t work.

    Thank you.

    Hi @featherhead,

    Access Gallery>Other Options>Styles, press on (Show Customization Options) then add the CSS rule provided after the last line of the comments */

    OK. That is what I did, but it made no difference. Titles and containers are still there. I did clear my cache too.

    Hello @featherhead,

    Let’s try again!
    Go to Appearance > Themes > Additional CSS
    Copy and paste this CSS code

    .ngg-album-compact {
    padding: 0 12px 4px 0 !important;
    margin: 0px !important;
    border: none !important;
    box-shadow: none !important;
}

    Then, click on Publish.

    Please, let us know if that worked for you.
    We are happy to help!

    That removed the line from around the containers, but not the text.

    I sure appreciate you helping me with this.

    Oh, sorry about that. Please try to additionally add this CSS rule:

    .ngg-album-compact h4 .ngg-album-desc {
	display: none !important;
}
