How To Add Text

[gorgeousboys]

I can see the Title of my feature and the image great. However how do I allow for a description ? I was under the assumption it read the first few lines of the post or got the text from the excerpt section. I cannot get it to pick up the description text from the first few lines or from my excerpt. Are there some custom field i need to add or what ?

Try this:

- Settings >> Featured Content Gallery >>

- You will see this field Text Overlay Height in Pixels:

- Set that field to 40px. You should see text. If you want more text to show in the gallery increase the number to 80px for example.

- Your right, it gets the info from your post, but the above mentioned field controls how much text is shown in the gallery.

- Let me know if this works.

increasing size in settings will solved the problems. I personally uses 100 px

Obviously I had that part figured out. I can see the Title - my question is how to i get it to show the the first few lines of the post associated. Example would be XXXTITLEXXX
this is the first few lines of the post.

Like i said i see the title of my post, but it doesn't read the beginings of the post. It's just blank. It also doesn't get the information from my excerpt.

providing your site link will help me to see further. Whats Text Overlay Height in Pixels you using ?? 40px ?

the problem you are mentioning is what i am facing but not on home page , some how ( not known ) featured content is showing on my single post page :shock:

I am also having a similar problem. I have tried adjusting the text overlay and have looked in a css highlighter that shows all the div's etc. The p element for the overlay is there but it doesn't seem to be pulling in any of the text.

Thanks
