Make entire bootstrap slide into link

    HI, site is at https://www.marlissmelton.com

    I have turned the bootstrap slider into a single slide banner. It has no words or arrows thanks to Denzel’s help.

    I need to make the entire slide a clickable link so it goes to a video for this author. I have made the button and the title/description transparent. I think if I can make the transparent button cover the entire slide, that will seem as if the whole slide is a link.

    Is that possible?
    This is how I made it all transparent:

    #bootstrap-slider .carousel-caption .button {border:transparent !important;
background:transparent;}

    So I tried this to make the button bigger:

    #bootstrap-slider .carousel-caption .button {width:1200px !important;
height:400 px;}

    But it did not work. Button stayed small at bottom of slide.
    Can you help?
    And is there another way to make entire slide link.

    Hi, please see my question above. It has been a week, and I really need your help. If you have any suggestions for doing this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

    Hi,

    You cannot use CSS code to make the whole slide clickable.

    You need to modify the slider or replace the slider with an image banner, either way you need to modify code. I can’t spent this much time trying and testing out the modification.

    Since no one is available to help, I suggest you hire a developer https://jobs.wordpress.net/

    Thanks!

    Oh Denzel, I am disappointed. I thought everything could be done with CSS! ?? If only we could make the clickable space, that tiny area at the very bottom bigger. Can we do that at least?
    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Please try this, in Theme Options -> Custom CSS

    #bootstrap-slider .carousel-caption .button {
    height: 500px !important;
    left: 0 !important;
    position: absolute !important;
    width: 1200px !important;
    z-index: 9999;
}

    No guarantee that it will not break your mobile view.

    Thanks!

    DENZEL!!!!! You are a genius. Of course it worked. THANK YOU. And it didn’t break the site’s awesome appearance in mobile view.
    Again, thank you and I am marking it as resolved.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your compliments!

    I really hope I am a genius, but seems like I am not, because I am making a low monthly income….

    Regards,

    Me, too, Denzel. I work mostly in publishing as a book editor. I am also an historical novelist. I do website work on the side. I make very little money at all the things I do. I think we should not value ourselves by an arbitrary measure of success like how much money we make. My husband is divorcing me after 23 and a half years. His biggest complaint about me is that I never made enough money. But I am smart and funny, and I raised our two kids, and I always worked part-time. I even worked in his business for free for seven years, but he completely discounts that because it was in our home. It can get you upset if you let it. I have friends who love me and say I am “all heart,” and they like being around me. That means more than money. We all end up in the same place, dead, and how you treat people and how much you can love and be loved is all that matters. I think you are wealthy in many ways. Cheers!

    Hi,

    Thank you very much.

    After reading your life story, I felt encouraged by you.
    Now I feel much happier! ??

    My wife is much successful than me, and I am very lucky to have a wife that supports my decisions.
    We have a saying … “Behind every successful man there stands a woman”

    Your husband should be grateful to you. I personally think that you are better off without having such a selfish and egoistic person.

    I thank god for giving me a great wife and happy children!

    Wish you a better tomorrow.

    Best Regards,
    Denzel
