hi there, great theme! one question – i’ve set up a couple of ‘gallery’ portfolio items on my homepage and have removed the timer clock and next/previous arrows and got it so that it auto rotates through the attached images. the only thing i’m struggling with is making the hover caption show on these gallery items. i.e. the caption based on post excerpt. looking in content-gallery.php it looks like the code is in there for the caption but i can’t figure out how to make it appear. any suggestions? should i be looking in the CSS? thanks
June 25, 2015 at 11:52 am #6829satoriKeymasterHey Chris,
the “gallery”-type tiles were not given overlays for a specific reason in Ikebana: otherwise the overlays would obstruct the navigation buttons, which would make it impossible to manually go through the slides. If you want to enable overlays for “gallery” tiles, you’ll need to add a specific call to the javascript that shows/hides the overlays on mouse hover. I’ve prepared a custom solution for this: please download this archive, unzip it, and upload the contained files into the theme folder (/wp-content/themes/Ikebana/) on your server, overwriting the existing files when prompted.
Sincerely,

the problem i’ve got is that i’ve set up a child theme and can’t simply replace the 3 files in your zip file because i’ve made some other modifications to some of those files. is there any chance you could let me know how/where the files vary so i can look at making the same changes to my child theme copies. any quick pointers would be useful. i think i’m ok on the content-gallery file, but what did you change on the header-functions and style.css files? thanks again
