    Hi – is there a way to add a black outline to the letters on the description of the slider? Or perhaps some of the available fonts are already like this ( it would take me a long time to go through them all!) I would like my description to stand out properly on my chosen pictures and have been unable to achieve this by changing colour. Also I have tried putting the description in a box but it doesn’t look good and I tried to add the short code for highlighting but although it does add a highlight colour the text doesn’t display properly………Many thanks

    Hi I am working on it offline using a local host programme so I don’t think it is shareable? I can highlight text okay for one line but if it is more than 1 line it doesn’t work. I would prefer to put a border around the text as this helped make text stand out on a video that I was adding captions to. All I need to know is it possible to put borders / shadows around the text on the slider description so it stands out above the picture? If it is possible but you can only help when it is online I will contact you again when I have it online………. Thanks

    does that mean you can’t help until it is shareable?

    Hi
    https://imgur.com/vLLCHl1 – screen shot 1 shows slider description not easy to read but the heading highlighted in orange is ok
    https://imgur.com/HxKZvnk – screen shot 2 shows highlight does not work for description
    https://imgur.com/a/R008wIa – screen shot 3 shows method to highlight text. Tried doing it with short code also but had the same result.

    Basically without changing the images I would like the slider description to be readable. I would prefer that the text of the description could have a dark outline around each letter but if not being able to highlight it like the heading would be the second choice. I have already tried putting the text into a button but it does not look good…………..
    thank you for your help

    also just a thought if i have to go with the highlight option it would be nice to be able to adjust the opacity like i can for the header background 🙂

    Hi,

    You can use text-shadow css: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_text-shadow.asp

    Or you can add a black transparent overlay to your slider images with the help of Photoshop or any other photo editing tool.

    Regards,
    Shri

    Hi – thanks for your reply. Could you please let me know where on WP to add the text shadow css? I am very new to this and have been trying to find the answer myself but after reading and attempting a few different things feel that I am no wiser.

    UPDATE – I have managed to create shadow effects on h1 h2 etc by adding css to custom css box on basic settings. None of these correspond to the slider description what should I put here instead of h1 so that the slider description also has a shadow effect?
    h1 {
    color: white;
    text-shadow: 2px 2px 4px #000000;
    }

    Hi,

    Kindly go to Appearance >> Theme Options >> Basic Settings >> Custom CSS Box:

    Add this code there:

    .nivo-caption .slide_info p { font-size:20px !important; line-height:26px !important;}
