[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Remove title above slideshow widget

Was my question confusing?

From reading through all the other recent posts, it looks as though there are many problems with the upgrade.

I can’t answer your question, because I’m a newbie at this but I want to ask you if you can tell me how to get this to show in a widget in the sidebar, as you seem to have succeeded! I can’t get it to show, the only thing that shows in mine is that actual sidebar code (that’s all I put in the widget).

Could you be very, very kind and tell me what code to put in the widget?

Many thanks for your help ??

It’s Ok, I have found how to do it. And in case anyone else is searching for this answer, there was a widget specially for it in the theme. I don’t know if all themes have this but certainly worth having a look there first.

…Now I’m stuck with the same problem as Jpdstudio, above, that I can’t get rid of the title above the slideshow… any ideas, anyone??

Just got the answer to this, and it worked beautifully:

in the style.css, in the ‘Sidebar’ section put a block that says just this:

#sidebar #slideshow-3 h4 {display:none;}

Hey Speedmouse! Thanks so much for your help (sorry I didn’t see your postings earlier).

I tried this but it didn’t work, I added it to my style.css file. Where did you see this fix? Perhaps there is more to the css?

I also emptied my cache but it still didn’t work:

Hi Jes,
I have a solution for you:
From
nextgen-gallery/widgets/widgets.php
you have to remove the line

$title = apply_filters(‘widget_title’, empty( $instance[‘title’] ) ? __(‘Slideshow’, ‘nggallery’) : $instance[‘title’]);

That does the trick. ??

Good luck!
André.

Hi, I found the above answer at a numbert of posts, however I can’t find the coding in my nextgen-gallery/widgets/widgets.php. I suppose it is because i have a newer version, being version 1.5.3

I know i can just leave the title area empty, but then I’m left with too much space between the slideshow and the widget above it.

This is my widget.php code, what should i delete, please?

[Mod Note: Code segment removed. If you want to post large blocks of code, please use a pastebin (Alternate URL).]

I added this to my css:

.hslice h2 {
display:none;
}

That removes the title and the space above the images.
