    Hi!

    Thanks to this forum, I’m managing to make my client’s website (https://www.projetoevandrocarneiro.com.br/) just as he wishes. I’m grateful for you helping this newbie here, especially you, Chad.

    He wants me to change the caption style – he doesn’t want me to remove them, but rather place them beneath the images instead of “on top” of them. For instance, here: https://www.projetoevandrocarneiro.com.br/portfolio/cabecas/ sometimes the caption ends up covering up a portion of the image he doesn’t want to be covered up by anything. Since he’s an artist (sculptor), I totally understand that. The caption may interfere with the artwork.

    Is there any way I could do that, or do you think it would be easier if I just removed all images and used Photoshop to add the caption, and then re upload everything with the caption already “built in” the image?

    Thanks again!

  • Hi again! ??

    My first recommendation, if it were my own site, would be to make the captions appear on demand when the visitor hovers over each image:

    .carousel-caption {
        display: none;
    }
    
    .slick-slide:hover .carousel-caption {
        display: block;
    }

    If that isn’t a viable option, you could use something like this as a starting point:

    .carousel-caption {
        bottom: -70px;
    }
    
    .slick-slide {
        margin-bottom: 70px;
    }

    That drops them down enough to make room for the captions that run onto a second line, but leaves a bit of a gap on the one liners.

    Hey Chad! Again! ??
    Wow!! That worked like a charm. I’m presenting both solutions to my client today. If everything goes well I’ll come back here and mark it as resolved!
    Thank you so much!

    Awesome! Best of luck!

    Hey Chad.
    That is set, he liked the drop down option! So that is set. ??
    I have some other questions, I hope it’s ok I posted them here.
    Since I opened this other topic not to burden you so much but in the end it was you to come to rescue, so ??
    On textos (https://www.projetoevandrocarneiro.com.br/textos/) two texts I added yesterday are not loading. I don’t get why. I did it exactly as I did all the others and all the others are generating preview. Not these two (one of them is the last of the list). Is there something like a maximum number of links I can post to this page?
    Also, the client asked me to change the titles’ font (the font that is in the text “Obras” in the home page). He wants something non-bold/non-italic, he said the bold/italic is “heavy”. How could I change that? It would be best to find a web-safe font, right?
    Thank you (again).

    On textos (https://www.projetoevandrocarneiro.com.br/textos/) two texts I added yesterday are not loading.

    Looks like you’re using that page to embed posts from elsewhere on the site – if the embeds are failing, I’d first recommend starting disabling your plugins to see if there is a conflict. If they start working with no plugins, you can turn them on one at a time to see which one triggers the issue.

    You can also try temporarily switching themes (try the current default, Twenty Seventeen), to see if the problem happens only under Argent, or on other themes as well.

    He wants something non-bold/non-italic, he said the bold/italic is “heavy”. How could I change that?

    If the bold/italic is the issue, you can address that without using a different font. This CSS will make all headings on the home page non bold or italic:

    .front-page-block.portfolio .section-title {
        font-style: normal;
        font-weight: normal;
    }

    If you do need another font, you’ll want to use the font-family property in your CSS (background info).

    You can use that to define web safe fonts, or you can use other font sources, like Google Fonts.

    Hey Chad,
    The CSS about the font did work on the home page very well, thank you ?? However I need to change all other titles as well (for instance, “Biografia”, “Obras”, also all the subitems in Portfolio such as Cabe?as, Torsos, etc). How can I do that?

    The embed issue (I’m embedding from posts within the own website) is still bad though. I tried what you said and they were still not working with all plugins deactivated, I tried also installing Twenty Seventeen just for a check, also didn’t work (in Twenty Seventeen none of the embeds loaded actually). I also tried clearing the cache, deleting and re-pasting all the content…still nothing. I don’t get it, it was working so well before.

    This should hit titles on a more site-wide basis – unless there are others with specific styles defined:

    h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6,
    .single .entry-title,
    .page-title {
    	font-weight: normal;
    	font-style: normal;
    }

    If you run into that, try using your browser inspector to identify the class or ID and then you can add it in.

    The embed issue is strange – it doesn’t sound theme related, if you’re seeing the same problem on Twenty Seventeen.

    Perhaps double check that you’re running the latest version of WordPress, and maybe try performing a manual update to make sure all of the core functions are set up properly?

    That worked really well @shireling ?? thank you

    I’ll look for more info on the embed situation, if I don’t then I’ll open another topic. For now this one is completely resolved =)

    Glad it’s all worked out ??
