# Featured Content Slider Help – PHP

 * I’m using a theme that has a built-in featured content slider. It has a text 
   overlay at the bottom that I’d like to disable, but that isn’t offered as an 
   option in the theme settings. I know a little about PHP, but not enough to be
   able to isolate that particular piece of code.
 * I’ve tried some other plug-ins as replacements (slideshow and content slider 
   plug-ins), but none of them integrate as well as the built-in one – except, again,
   I’m finding the text overlay feature really intrusive.
 * I have posted the code below. If there’s anyone proficient in PHP who could take
   a look, I’d be very grateful.
 * Thanks!

 * ‘<?php $featured_category = get_theme_option(‘featured_category’); $featured_number
   = get_theme_option(‘featured_number’); ?>
 * <?php if(($featured_category == “Choose a category:”) || ($featured_number ==‘
   Number of post:’)) { ?>
 * <?php { /* nothing */ } ?>
 * <?php } else { ?>
 * <div id=”featured”>
    <div id=”featured-title”>Featured News</div> <div id=”Gallerybox”
   > <script type=”text/javascript”> function startGallery() { var myGallery = new
   gallery($(‘myGallery’), { timed: true, delay: 5000, showArrows: true, showCarousel:
   false, embedLinks: true }); document.gallery = myGallery; } window.onDomReady(
   startGallery); </script>
 * <div id=”myGallery”>
 * <?php
    $my_query = new WP_Query(‘cat=’. $featured_category . ‘&’ . ‘showposts
   =’. $featured_number . ‘&’ . ‘orderby=date’); while ($my_query->have_posts()):
   $my_query->the_post(); $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; $the_post_ids = get_the_ID();?

 * I took a look.
 * I would first try to add the following rule to the top of your stylesheet in 
   the WordPress dashboard. Like after your main rules like body etc…
 * .slideInfoZone {
    display: none; }
 * It may be as simple as that, so do that and see if it works.
