Instead of making the text be part of the image, why don’t you try using an image as the only slide in the header slider (instead of a header image) and adding the text using the slide’s title & subtitle fields?
Thanks for the suggestion, and it’s an option I’ve considered.
BUT (and being the amateur that I am, I don’t know how to make this a reality), I would want only ONE image in the slider, and I don’t see an option in the slider customization for making it so it doesn’t slide at all (hence it’s not a slider).
Secondly, would I be able to add custom CSS to the title and subtitle fields of my slider image even if I managed to make it so there’s only one image?
If that’s my only option, I’m willing to take it (even without custom CSS), but I’d need some help figuring out how to make it so there’s only one image in the slider carousel, and there’s no actual slide effect that happens?
Thanks!!!
Go to Appearance → Customize → Header Area → Header Slider. If there’s a default SECOND slide, click the REMOVE button to eliminate it. For the FIRST slide, set your image, the title, and subtitle. At the top, set the slider speed to zero (0). It doesn’t seem to matter if Stop the Text Slider is checked or not. You should be able to style the title & subtitle using CSS.
