Slider modifications

Found my answer for the timer: …/js/nivoSettings.js
pauseTime: #### increase to value of your choise.

Still searching for the “bottom part” that overlays the image.

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

For the half-transparent part (I assume you mean on caption), as for any other customizations – it’s preferred to do it via child theme.

Copy slider.php to child theme, and remove this:
title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"

That should do it.

Thanks for the answer! I’ll give it a try.

Mean while, I modified the opacity to 0.0

Your solution worked perfectly for the caption. Lot simpler than changing the opacity!

Now my question is regarding the use of nivoSettings.js in a child theme: I copied and modified the file inside the Child theme, but it is not working. Where and how do I tell it to use the “child” .js ?

*would you prefer a new topic?

Please tell me if I am correct:

In the original functions.php file, I replaced get_template_directory_uri() by get_stylesheet_directory_uri()

It did the trick, but is this the “proper way” of doing things?

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

As long as you’re editing parent theme files directly, it’s not a proper way. But, if I’d put get_template_directory_uri() instead of get_stylesheet_directory_uri() there wouldn’t be problems.

I wasn’t thinking about this when I was developing theme, so I’ll put it on my to do list.

I’ll put this as resolved.

Thanks!
