Hey there,
I’m using Ethos- Child Theme

My website is http://OldLoveMusic.com

How can I change the hover text in the posts in the posts carousel?

I would like to:
Remove Admin
Remove Date
Remove Category
Add Post Title

I would ideally like only the title of the post to show up upon hover.

OR, alternately,

Is there a way for me to place pages in the carousel, rather than posts?

Thanks!

Natale

Hi Natale,

Thanks for writing in!

To achieve that, you can add this in your child theme’s functions.php file.

function x_ethos_entry_cover( $location ) {

    if ( $location == 'main-content' ) { ?>

      <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
        <a class="entry-cover" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" style="<?php echo x_ethos_entry_cover_background_image_style(); ?>">
          <h2 class="h-entry-cover"><span><?php x_the_alternate_title(); ?></span></h2>
        </a>
      </article>

    <?php } elseif ( $location == 'post-carousel' ) { ?>

      <?php GLOBAL $post_carousel_entry_id; ?>

      <article <?php post_class(); ?>>
        <a class="entry-cover" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" style="<?php echo x_ethos_entry_cover_background_image_style(); ?>">
          <h2 class="h-entry-cover"><span><?php ( $post_carousel_entry_id == get_the_ID() ) ? the_title() : x_the_alternate_title(); ?></span></h2>
          <div class="x-post-carousel-meta">
            <span class="entry-cover-title"><?php the_title() ?></span>
          </div>
        </a>
      </article>

    <?php }

  }

Hope that helps.

Worked perfectly, thanks! I am still wondering if there is any way to put pages in the carousel instead of posts?

Also, how can I get the title to display fully upon hover, rather than a shortened version?

Hi There,

You can add this under Custom > CSS in the Customizer.

.x-post-carousel .x-post-carousel-meta>span {
	    white-space: normal;
}

Regarding the pages on Carousel; It could be possible with custom development, but this would be outside the scope of support we can offer. X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities.

Thanks.
