 * Hi there,
 * I’ve just started using the plugin and am impressed – nice and clean and simple,
   thank you! Could anyone tell me how to please hide the excerpt AND remove the
   gap it leaves? I tried display:none but it still leaves the white space. I ideally
   want the meta to move up below the title.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * I’ve just started looking (1 day so far) into this plugin, and I have noticed
   that the author, Sayful, appears to use absolute positioning for the various 
   post elements.
 * If you removed the excerpt via a display:none; that probably just leaves the 
   title, feature image and meta details.
 * You may be able to manipulate the position of the meta information via;
 *     ```
       .carousel-slider__post-meta {
       	bottom:10px;
       }
       ```
   
 * … that’s its current value which is set against the height specified in the dashboard,
   and enough space for the 2 lines of data.
    You could try increasing it, or maybe
   set it to “auto” and add a ‘top’ value instead.

 * Thank you so much – this is very helpful, and works!
    To move the .carousel-slider.
   owl-dots up then – use a negative top margin?

 * That sounds like it might work, but there is probably a more elegant solution
   which will involve taking control of all the elements of the post within the 
   slider with a custom style sheet so that they flow together.
    I haven’t touched
   on the navigation elements yet, but I suspect that I’ll cross that bridge soon.
 * {… a few hours later …}
 * The navigation elements, bottom dots and left/right arrows, are outside of the
   carousel content container, so if you want to move the bottom navigation dots
   upwards, you may be better off reducing the depth (height) of the post content
   in the carousel configuration within the dashboard; that’s “Colums Height” (that’s
   Sayful’s spelling mistake) within the “Post Query” section.
