Ok, think may have found a fix to change slider caption without having posts or pages appearing on front page

Create a post for each slider you want displayed. Set title, text and featured image in each post.
Create a new page (not a post). Give the page a title like “Invisible”, and leave text field empty. Save the page. Go to Appearance > Customise > Static Front Page, and select “Static Page”, and, under the dropdown “Front Page”, select the new page you have just created, i.e. Invisible.

Now go back and edit Invisible, and delete its title, so that both the title field and the text field are empty. Update.

Now go back to the customise screen and in the “Front Page” dropdown you should see something like “#166(no title)” as being selected. Leave this setting, save everything/exit and check your site. You should now only see the slider image with the caption and text you have written in each associated post. Something like this for example: https://www.integrityorm.com/

Hope that helps!

I am using accesspress lite as a website, with static homepage like webbitnz. I’m working from a child theme (accesspress-lite-child).

My problem is that I can change the slider image and caption text by creating a post with featured image, but the post is displayed beneath the slider on the static front page. We don’t want anything on the front page except the slider and caption, as we are not using the script as a blog but as a website.

I then created an extra.php file under the inc directory in the child theme, editing the line where the default slider captions appear. But this had no effect on the front page. However, editing the text in the extra.php file under the inc directory in the parent theme does produce the desired modifications. Only problem is the front page will lose these mods when the script is next updated – because the changes were under the parent and not the child theme.

So how can I control the slider caption without either displaying a post on the front page or having to continually edit the extra.php file under the parent?

Would be a real shame if this could not be done, as it is a lovely script and we will use it and buy the pro if we can have full customisation control without having to re-write large portions of script.
