Hide excerpt and remove gap

I’ve just started looking (1 day so far) into this plugin, and I have noticed that the author, Sayful, appears to use absolute positioning for the various post elements.

If you removed the excerpt via a display:none; that probably just leaves the title, feature image and meta details.

You may be able to manipulate the position of the meta information via;

.carousel-slider__post-meta {
	bottom:10px;
}

… that’s its current value which is set against the height specified in the dashboard, and enough space for the 2 lines of data.
You could try increasing it, or maybe set it to “auto” and add a ‘top’ value instead.

Thank you so much – this is very helpful, and works!
To move the .carousel-slider .owl-dots up then – use a negative top margin?

That sounds like it might work, but there is probably a more elegant solution which will involve taking control of all the elements of the post within the slider with a custom style sheet so that they flow together.
I haven’t touched on the navigation elements yet, but I suspect that I’ll cross that bridge soon.

{… a few hours later …}

The navigation elements, bottom dots and left/right arrows, are outside of the carousel content container, so if you want to move the bottom navigation dots upwards, you may be better off reducing the depth (height) of the post content in the carousel configuration within the dashboard; that’s “Colums Height” (that’s Sayful’s spelling mistake) within the “Post Query” section.
