Hide Caption for a particular Gallery

Hi @ivobirrer,
currently, there’s no User Interface to edit Slick’s options for galleries in widgets, although this may change in future versions of WordPress and this plugin.

For now, the easiest way would be to create a new post, add a gallery, edit all options to your liking, switch to the Quick Text mode of the editor (“Text”) and copy the gallery shortcode. Then paste it in a “Custom HTML” widget.

(The shortcode attribute your are probably looking for is sl_arrows="false".)

Edit: I noticed you are mentioning “slide counting”, probably referring to this thread: Image / Images instead of Dots, Arrows bottom right.
Basically, you need to exclude sliders in widgets from the jQuery object in the example I pasted in the thread. I hope to provide a solution later today, also regarding your whish to hide captions.

Hi Philipp

That would be great. I also have no idea on how to exclude the slider in widgets from the jQuery.

Many thanks in advance. Again a donation is on its way to you.

Hi @ivobirrer,
sorry, I was not able to get back to you earlier.

I thought a bit on your request, played around with the JS snippet from the linked thread but wasn’t able to solve this with reasonable efforts.

So the quick’n’ dirty way is to add this to your slick-slider-custom.css:

.widget-area .slide__caption,
.widget-area .slick-slider-slide-count {
	display: none;
}

This assumes that .widget-area is your sidebar’s class.

I hope, this works for you.
Thanks again for your donation!

Hi Philipp

This did the trick.

Many thanks.

Hi @ivobirrer,
Heads up: The filter slick_slider_show_caption has been deprecated in favor of the new option “Show caption” in v0.5.

Hi Philipp

Super cool. Runs like a charm.

Thank you for developing this awesome plugin!
