I am building a site using Enfold – I have large images in a common position on a number of pages at the top of my site under the menu. I want to insert captions to those images to reflect the slider on the home page. The caption needs to be aligned left to suit the style of the homepage and the photograph – but the dialogue box doesn’t allow me to specify this? It only allows for the caption to be centred? Have you a code snippet that I can use? if so where would it go?
Also the captions currently are not responsive on tablets or smart phones – have you got a code sippet that I can use to make these captions responsive so that they reduce down to fit tablets or smart phones please?
I’ve searched the forums and couldn’t find this question – but I’m sure someone must have asked it somewhere?
Also on another note – I am using Yoast (SEO plugin) with aan easy slider on the homepage and Yoast is telling me that I have no images – is that because they are buried in the slider. What is the remedy for this regarding SEO effectiveness. You’ll see what I maean if you visit the site.
Many thanks.
Hey thepeagreenboat!
Can you tell us what slider you are using? Easy Slider doesn’t have any option and is aligned left by default, Fullscreen and Fullwidth Easy Slider have options like Left without frame or Left Framed. As for yoast, it doesn’t recognize images in the Advanced Layout builder since the plugin does not see the shortcodes (this is true for all themes that uses shortcodes or visual composer), however the search engines will still see your images in the frontend since it is already rendered, though the page analysis of yoast couldn’t detect it but it wouldn’t have any adverse effects to the SEO of the site.
Cheers!
NikkoHi Nikko,
Only the main page has a slider on the site – the other pages which I required assistance with have static images inserted at the top. It is these images that I require some advice on – for both this website and others going forward? There is an option in the image dialogue box to include a caption in the main image, but it only provides a centred version for text? Although you can change the caption size, there is no option to range the caption left as per the Easy Slider? Have you a code snippet to remedy this? Also I believe it would be worthwhile building this into the theme?
Also could you let me know if it is possible to delete the Enfold credit from the Footer Socket? So that you can create your own bespoke copyright notice and design credit?
Thanks for the info on Yoast – it’s useful to know.
Many thanks,
PGB

AndyHi Andy,
I did not get a resolution to my query and have handed this project over to the client so I will not be implementing this on this site and now that it’s handed over I’m reluctant to release the login details.
However, I intend using Enfold again and would like to encorporate this functionality into my next site. The query remains the same – when using a large full size image at the top of the page when the image is inserted into single column layout as an image file (which is an image not a slider) how do you make the image text range left as the dialogue box only allows for centred. Below is a link to a page where I would have liked to have incorpated a large image caption on top of the image – but range left like the slider on the homepage?
Many thanks
Hi,
not sure what you want to achieve, providing as a mockup showing the results you want to achieve, would really help us.
I guess you could just use a Fullscreen Slider element on the page in question as well, couldn’t you?
Best regards,
AndyI’d like the same text look as the slider but just want the text to overlay on a static image without any animation. Can I only do this by using a slider then and not animating the text? The two pages are in the private data above.
Many thanks,
Mike
Hi,
I think it would be best to integrate the text you need into your image (inside Photoshop or InDesign for exmaple) and then just use everything as a whole image.
Best regards,
AndyHi Andy,
Thanks for the advice – but surely that’s an old fashioned solution? Text wouldn’t be picked up by browsers? and if you ever wanted to change the text – you’d have to change the file and re-upload – defeats the object of CMS?
I’m surprised there’s not the facility to postion the text in the theme other than centred? Can I make this as a suggestion for the next update if there’s not a work around?
Thanks for your time on this anyway.
Mike
Hi,
sorry, I think now I get what you mean. So you want to use a normal Image Element, but place the caption on the left side, right? if yes use this code inside Quick CSS field:
.av-image-caption-overlay-center p { text-align: left; }Hope this is what you’re looking for.
Best regards,
AndyHi Andy,
Yep that works – thanks. It isn’t totally responsive though?
Have you a snippet to make it repsonsive on tablet and smartphone?
Cheers,
MikeHi,
it is responsive, you just need to control it using media queries: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/media-queries-for-standard-devices/
