Never mind what I was asking about href, my mind was else where, that does make sense. Regardless of where my mind was, the code still works, I just double checked. Sorry for my confusing comment about the link.

Hi, no problem, as many times as I’ve used these forums it is nice to be able to pay it forward for once.
I’m a little confused by a few things here but I think have it for you.
1st why the “a href” above, are you trying to have your image link to something? Or have something link to it?
2nd 1519px is pretty huge, my actual content window is only 1000px (I think, not positive) so you might want to resize that.
With that though heres the code you need to put in the text editor.

<div style="background-image:url(https://www.medicalbillsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Man-Lost-in-Maze-with-captions.png);background-repeat:no-repeat;height:1519px;width:1519px;margin-top:20px;"><p style="text-align: center;font-size: 100px;">Let us help you save money!</p></div>

You will need to do a few things though, 1st I could center the text horizontally on the image but could not figure how to center vertically. The only way I thought of was to hit enter before the “let us…” part several times till it got right. So you will need to do that till you get it where you want it, maybe start with 5 times. Thats just a little trial and error on your end. 2nd I guessed at a font size for you. You can change it easy enough where it says font size. 3rd if you do resize the image don’t forget to resize in the code where it says 1519 to whatever you resize it to. Finally the font will be whatever default font you have for posts but if you want a different one, just insert “font-family:Arial;” (replacing arial with your choosen font) before “font-size.”
Hope this does the trick!
all the best

Hi, I was just kinda curious about this myself because I want to have a link over a textured background image on a popup page (strange I know but I have my reasons). Anyways I came across this little code that seems to work fine. Just edit the parameters as need be and put into the text editor of a post or page…..

<div style=”background-image:url(https://bit.ly/2JOum3);background-repeat:no-repeat;height:200px;width:200px;margin-top:20px;”><h1 style=”color:black;line-height:18px;padding:20px 10px 2px 20px;”>This is a Sample Headline</h1><p style=”color:black;padding:2px 10px 10px 20px;”>This is sample paragraph text on top of an image. You may need to change the color of the text so it’s readable over the image.</p></div>

Hope this helps!

Hi guys,
I agree great great plugin! I spent several hours looking for popup plugins, trying them out and getting extremely frustrated. It seems every other one was just designed to make very annoying ads, so its is very refreshing to find one that is not designed just to annoy people! Two things though….
1st- I agree it could use more promotion, it never appeared while searching wp’s plugin page but that could just mean wp’s search hasn’t caught up with how great this is.
2nd- A very very humble request/suggestion if you choose to do a update in the future. That is, allow users to embed video, music, playlists directly into the popup instead of making a new page for the popup to link to. I know several people have been looking for something that can do this and that doesn’t seem to be anything. So might be a nice addition. But again I’m just grateful for it now as is!
Thanks a ton!

P.S. Cubecolour, you just seem like you have a great attitude which is wonderful for these forums! Trying to figure out my embed problem, I came across several forums where other members were just complete jerks and berated the whole concept while providing absolutely no help. So it was extra nice coming across this one, with such a entertaining/pleasant back and forth. You’re the type of moderator/member we need more of on here! Again Thanks!

Hi daeyeth,
I had the same problem. For me though my theme (suffusion) had a option to turn that off but I understand a lot of themes don’t. Which it seems like your is one of those. If thats the case you have to edit some code and go into the index.php and look for
<small><?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?> by <?php the_author() ?></small>
then delete the “by <?php the_author() ?></small>” part so it looks like
<small><?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?>
Should be similar for the comments but I’m not sure what that code says, though I imagine it is something like “php comments.” Hope that helps a little.

Also I checked your site and didn’t see “author” or “comment closed” so maybe you already found a fix and this topic is null and void. But if not and it’s still showing on your end, try deleting your cache, maybe you solved your problem and didn’t even realize it.

good luck,

P.S. Another idea is to change the font color of “author” and “comment closed” to your background color, that way even though it is still there, no one would be able to tell since its the same color as the background. I don’t know if with your theme, if you can selectively change font colors like that though.

Awesome, I got it.
If anyone else comes across this and is having similar problems here how I fixed it. In “appearance: suffusion options: layout: layout excerpt…:” in your “thumbnail settings” under “Show featured images for full content” set to “Don’t show any image.” Then you have to double check in “appearance: suffusion options: front/blog page views” and make sure that you do not have “display full content” marked under “Full posts / excerpts / list / tiles / mosaic.” If you have any of the other options marked it works but if full content is marked it will ignore your “featured image” in your page of posts just like it ignores it in your actual post.
So problem solved!

esmi- Thanks for your time and advice, keep up the good work!

Thanks again. I just was reading about the child themes and trying to figure out how to properly do it via my hosting, I guess there is no way to do it through dashboard is there. Luckily the only code i’ve changed so far is the size of my caption font, which is super easy. So I won’t lose much if the theme gets upgraded before I figure out how to do the child themes properly. There again though, a tangent.
The complexity of suffusion is kinda what I like, everything is completely unrestrained and customizable but your right it can be infuriating sometimes, especially when it doesn’t troubleshoot in the same way as other themes. I will try their forum, thats a great idea that for whatever reason did not dawn on me.

Hi esmi, you are on top of it or maybe i just have good timing today.
I am not using child theme, quite frankly i was not sure what that was. I’ve seen that option but in my mind child means less customization, so I opted not to fool with it. Should I be using it? I guess that is a tangent I’ll goog here shortly.
But back on point, maybe I misspoke saying “excerpts”, sometimes common language takes on a different tech meaning. How I was doing what I call “excerpts” was adding the more tag in posts so it shows the “continue reading” button on my page of posts. So not sure if that is technically a “excerpt” or not. I will look for that code though and try to swap it, would that be in the single.php?
Thanks!
