Text Overlay Change from HOVER to default display

I was also wondering how to do this. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to stop the pictures

I’m not sure what is meant by “stop pictures” I’m asking about the thumbnail images, which are current blank by default; the hover state displays the titles. I would like the default display state to show the titles of the blog posts. Again these are the images that are older posts, not asking about the slider. We may be asking the same thing; just want to clarify if not. Best, Ben.

Any feedback? I’d like the “titles” to display by default on the home page. Currently, the titles display on HOVER.

Has anyone figured this out yet? I am trying to get rid of the hover effects of the post-img boxes, and just have the meta information (date, title, excerpt) displayed on top of the image.
