moving text on a slider page

Oh, the link to my website is https://www.freelancewritermn.com

I would also like to move text from the bottom of my home page to somewhere closer to the top so people can see it more readily but don’t know how to do that either. Thanks again!

Kathryn, how did you add this to the bottom of your posts? /Users/Brent/Desktop/Screen Shot 2014-07-04 at 1.09.16 PM.png

I mean this

If so, can you tell me how to do it without giving me code? I’m not ready for that level of understanding yet.

This may seem rude but it is not meant to be…how do you expect to make modifications without some form of code? If you are uncomfortable with “code” then maybe you should seek “professional” assistance…

No offense taken deputy. I simply mean that if given directions, like, “copy this code and paste it into such and such area”, I am able to do that. Understanding what that code means or does is a different matter. I’m just simply not a code writer. If given specific instructions, step by step, I feel fairly confident that I can follow them.

Rotoblueprint – Speaking of not understanding, are you asking me to take a screen shot of what I’m talking about? If so, I’m assuming I should click on the link you provided and it will tell me how to do that. As you two can see, I am a literal person and a visual learner. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay…I am not an expert…but, afaik both of your requests will require custom functions (php coding), not just simple css changes…these would require a child theme of which you do not currently have…and if you do not understand what you are doing or get improper advice, it is very easy to crash your site with php…maybe the experts can give you better advice than I can…

[ @deputy05, I think you can begin to think of yourself as an expert by now ?? ]

@khaugrud to move your captions over, you can add the following to the Custom CSS panel in Appearance > Customize:

.carousel-caption {
    margin-left: 20%;
}

Play with the 20% figure until it looks right (it’s currently 11%).

To move the text up, deputy05 is right, you will need to add the code to a child-theme’s functions.php. More details on that here:

https://www.themesandco.com/snippet/move-featured-pages-block-anywhere-front-page/

Make sure that you have an FTP connection to your server before doing this, as incomplete/incorrect pasting could break your site (I wish it weren’t so, but it’s so easy to break a site with a missing “;” that you need to be ready for it).

An alternative is the paid featured pages plugin, which gives you the round circles just like the theme (and more of them, if you want), but allows you to choose the positioning. You can find this on the themesandco.com site.

@electricfeet: Thanks for the vote of confidence…but it will be awhile before I feel the same… ?? …I am comfortable with css although I still find shortcuts, betters ways of doing things every day…I have had to abandon my self-taught-education recently due to other commitments, but will hopefully one day reach the level to consider myself an expert…
I am just reluctant to share Customizr’s php solutions with someone who professes up front to not know what they are doing…I fully understand the risks and have crashed my site more times than I can count…but I know how to recover from it.

Which is how we all started @deputy05. Keep up the good work.

And thanks for all the responses from you guys. They were very helpful!
Deputy is right – Since professing upfront that I don’t know much about website building, and given my history with computers, it would be more than likely for me to crash my site. I appreciate the prudence.
