# Featured Image Hover Text

 * Hi,
    I have been searching for a simple, but sleek theme and Velux is one I’ve
   chosen to try and get to my needs. My goal is to be able to show text on the 
   featured image, when I hover over said featured image.
 * So far I have been able to transition to a lower opacity by using CSS, but I 
   can’t find a way to include text. The text can be centered in the featured image,
   and if possible I would like the text from the Caption in gallery to be shown.
 * Any thoughts on how/if this can be done?
 * Best regards,
    Geir Andersen

 * Hi [@geirand](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geirand/),
 * I checked your website and I can see that the image caption appears as a featured
   image hover effect as seen below:

   me know what is going on so I could help you out.

 * Sorry for not responding, but Gmail decided the reply from wordpress.org was 
   spam and I rarely check my spam folder.
 * I managed to use a few workaraounds and got pretty much what I was looking for,
   but I’ll let you know if I come across issues!
 * Best regards,
    Geir
