Sayontan, I’m getting somewhere with this now.

The CSS to fix the image height problem is:

.photonic-slideshow-side-white li img {
max-height: 633px;
}

The image title still doesn’t display. The gallery where it should show is set to default and the default I’ve made “Cover the lower portion always”, but it doesn’t show. Where does the photo title text come from? Perhaps I’ve not got it in the right place, it is now in the description of each photo in the Google Photos album.

Thank you for your help.

Can you try setting this explicitly on the slideshow instead of using the default?

I’ve tried that, this is where it doesn’t seem to save, so incorrect shortcode continues to be shown.

Also you replied whilst I made an edit to my comment – I’ll remove the change if I can, I added the following suggestion which I think could be a helpful option in if this conflicting code can’t be resolved….

I recreated one gallery, and checked the generated shortcode has the right settings and it does, so I wonder if the conflicting code from the theme is hiding the title (when it does work) by not showing the bottom of the image. I would like to suggest one solution is the option of having the title at the top of the image instead of at the bottom.

I kind of get the impression that the website or server is telling me to take a break now because it is just refusing to save at least one of the settings I’m trying to change.

I know exactly which I setting it is, I change it and save, reload the page… no change. Back to the relevant settings page, reload it… it still hasn’t changed. It drives me crazy! The setting in question is how to display the image title, I’ve reviewed the option in the gallery itself and in the default settings.

For around six hours I’ve been working on this one part of this one page!

Hello, I just realised you had replied, thank you. I should already be getting email notifications. I hope the following is helpful feedback, and that perhaps you can help resolve the problems that have arisen.

I changed the header style to “minimum” as suggested and have been having another go at getting single posts and blog posts to work the way I want. I am very happy to pay for premium features if I can get these features working but I am finding it extremely frustrating now. I will be going through your tutorials more.

Is the Elementor plugin part of OceanWP? I have no idea, but I have to assume it is. In the Elementor Global Settings, I see “Stretched Section Fit To” and it suggests I can change it though it’s not immediately clear how to do that and when I do change it, I can’t save or update the change, I later found it saves automatically.

In Customize > Blog > Single Entry, a section titled “Full Width Content” has a value of “700”… Miles? Centimetres? Percent? Pixels? The content was initially stretching edge-to-edge of the screen and it’s over 1400px, briefly I somehow changed the content width but now the content is stuck at 460px (maybe that’s 500px with a border of 20px) and nothing I do changes it.

For a while the text from the post I’m working on vanished, I don’t know how or where to, but I was able to enter it again. Another option I’ve lost is to do with a second menu which has appeared above the header, I thought it was the “Top Bar” but that isn’t enabled and it doesn’t show in the preview.

I’m not sure it’s even worth having the Elementor plugin, not because it’s bad, but because there are too many options. Forget where one rarely changed setting is and you can spend hours looking for it again.

Thanks again for your help.

Thank you, that worked well. I’ve now removed the single post titles, they already have a title so it was just repeating. Fortunately, I had created a child theme last night.

If possible, I’d like to keep the site hidden for now as it’s not a live site and there is not an actual link anyway, it’s like example.com/category/categoryname

I think what I’m looking for is a specific setting that affects all blog post entries, but not single posts.

Thank you.
