Link carousel slides to blog posts

    I have the carousel working just fine on the Home page of my site (which is running Appointment Green), except for one thing: the slides in it are not linked to their respective blog posts.

    I have searched the site’s admin area (such as Appearance > Customize > Slider Settings > Featured Slider Settings) but I don’t see anything that would enable me to link them.

    This seems like such a basic functionality, I really hope I can link them using the Appointment Green theme (or by modifying a template of the parent theme, Appointment).

    For that you have to put text greater than 55 words in the editor

    Thank you–I was hoping it would be something as easy as that to get them linked.

    I suggest you add the 55-words-in-the-text-editor requirement to the documentation and to the Featured Slider Settings.

    Hi, I have added more than 55 words to the text editor of this post and published it, but the first slide (“Closing Our Chandler Store!”) in the Home page slider still is NOT linked to it.

    Please advise what I should do next to get that slide linked to that post. I will try adding 55 or more words of text to ALL posts featured in the slider, in case that is the solution.

    Its not showing because the custom css you added in style.css

    Also its a bad way for making core changes directly in the style.css

    So correct your css styling

    .slide-caption {
    display:none !important;
    }

    Thanks

    Sorry, but I don’t understand your answer. How does the CSS that you mentioned:

    .slide-caption {
display:none !important;
}

    have any effect on whether the slides are linked to their blog posts? That CSS declaration only deletes the slide captions, doesn’t it?

    You said that adding 55 or more words of text to each post would link each slide to its post. Why isn’t that working?

    And why not put custom styles into the styles.css file of Appointment-Green? After all, it is the child theme of Appointment.

    I would call that more than a small bug. Please try to release the updated version as soon as possible.

    HI Kindly update the parent theme and you also have to remove this css you added `slide-caption {
    display:none !important;
    }`
    Since the title and the description shown inside the slide caption div, so , you have to remove display none property.
    Thanks
