Description / caption doesn’t show up

Hi @patrick300!

The problem with your slider is, that at the Text bar:
https://smartslider3.helpscoutdocs.com/article/79-bar
the “Show slide count” is turned on. When this is turned on, the title and description will be replaced with the current slide index and the slide count. If you would prefer showing the title and the description, you should turn this option off.

But you can use layers too:

what you can use to put down texts into your slides. If you want the text under the image, move the image from the background:

into an image layer instead:

and you could put down a text or heading layer under it.

Yes I disabled the count feature and it started working. Yes I watched the clips I could find on you tube, ill refer back to your on some future work. But …

is it possible to spread the grey bar out to the same width as the slider window ?
It looks odd jumping from 30 to 100% width then back to 15% width.

Pics to follow:

At your text bar:
https://smartslider3.helpscoutdocs.com/article/79-bar
you can find a “full width” option. You should turn that on and it should be fine!

ok the wide part now works, but Im having the following problems now…

It is based on the Responsive mode how your slider’s size behaves. In your case if you want to have a 478px wide slider, use Auto responsive mode:
https://smartslider3.helpscoutdocs.com/article/398-responsive-mode-auto
with Upscale being turned off. Then you slider will be maximum as wide as the given Slider size – width:

After that use the Align option to have your slider in the center:

woooo hoooo Im liking this program a lot !

now is it possible to click on the image and have it open in a new window if the user wants too. ?

To do that, you would need to enter each slide and they have “Link” options:
https://smartslider3.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1297-slide-settings-settings
You could insert the url or the image you are using.

In the Pro version we have a “Lightbox from backgrounds” option:
https://smartslider3.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1293-slider-settings-slides
which would automatically make all your background images to open them up in a lightbox if you click on them.
