Get rid of Smooth Slider Link

As we are providing this plugin for free to the WordPress community and we don’t have plan to sell any premium version in near future. Our only motto is to let others know about this plugin and for that we have added a link for Smooth Slider. We would really appreciate if you keep this link on your site.

If you still want to get rid of link, just use CSS “display:none” for that particular class.

My client has requested me to remove the Smooth Slider text/link from the installation on his website (ConnorWealthManagement.net). Surely his target market are likely to be not interested in this fabulous plugin.

I, on the other hand, having this site in my portfolio will cause others like me to inquire with me directly about the plugin at which time I will quite gladly inform them of its developers!

In the meantime, if you could kindly direct me, I am unable to locate exactly where to use “display:none”. There are two different SS CSS files and I have tried this in both with no results.

Thank you. I greatly appreciate your help.
By the way, I will be posting a donation to your plugin upon final invoice to this client.

I have been searching for a plain image slider that works with a custom theme for a client and finally found yours – but my client (a law firm) will not even consider having this link on their front page – and honestly, I don’t blame them.

I also tried the above solution with the plugin css but this does not work.

I would be happy to donate to get rid of the link but can’t use this at all if the link has to remain.

This is for a client and I have to finish this project so unfortunately with no response I’ll have to remove.

Hopefully you’ll respond.

Dear archetypemkt,

I was able to identify a solution…

Paste this code anywhere into the custom.css file:

.custom .sldrlink{
text-indent:-9999px;
}

Dear Internet Techies,

While your plugin is absolutely fabulous, and while I do wholeheartedly support proper attribution of open source code, for clients whose market is entirely different I believe there are exceptions with branding. In the instance a user of my client’s site (which is a site about financial wealth management) requests information about the your plugin, I will gladly inform them of its developers and provide all links and information. I hope this is acceptable to you.

Thank you again for your wonderful coding and support!

Dear CherieDC,

I tried your solution but it did not work. There is no custom.css file within the Smooth Slider plugin editor. There is one css folder containing a default.css and sample.css (all of which are noted as inactive). Or are you suggesting that I add your solution within the CSS of my theme?

Can you be a bit more specific? I need to get the Smooth Slider link removed for my commercial site ASAP and have had no success with any of the potential solutions I’ve found. Thanks.

/wp-content/plugins/smoothslider/css/default.css.

I just added the disaply:none to the .sliderlink class rule. Please note the modifying the original (default.css) file could be problematic when upgrading this plugin, as that will almost certainly overwrite the changes that you have made. I would suggest copying the content of default.css and make a new css file in that same folder, and copy default.css’s contents into the new file. Then you can make changes to your heart’s content and select the new CSS file in the options for the slider.

HTH,

Terri

Terri thanks for the reply, but I am still a bit lost as to where you added display:none since all of the CSS files in the plugin editor for my smooth slider say (Inactive). Do you add it to the:

smooth-slider/css/smooth-slider.css
smooth-slider/css/styles/default.css
smooth-slider/css/styles/sample.css

All say inactive. Or do you add it somewhere in the .php files. As you can tell I’m more of a designer than a programmer.

Thanks,

DJ
