Hover w/ Icon for Blog Images/Latest Posts

I’d like to make my “latest posts” to have a hover action with icon, like what this user has on their site: https://www.azuremedical.com.au/coolsculpting/

The “Azure Medical News” section is a little over half way down the page. How do I obtain this hover look/feature?

Hi there,

Please add this code in the custom CSS:

.x-recent-posts a:hover .has-post-thumbnail .x-recent-posts-img:before {
    opacity: 1;
}

.x-recent-posts a:hover .has-post-thumbnail .x-recent-posts-img:after {
    opacity: 0.85;
}

Hope this helps.

Thanks Jade, that definitely helped!

How can I create the raised/shadow look for these recent posts?

And is there a way to change the color of the opaque hover screen?

Hi there,

Would you mind clarifying what you mean by “raised/shadow look”?

As for changing the opaque hover screen color. You can use this selector .x-recent-posts .x-recent-posts-img:after and set the background color using an RGBA color value so that you can have a transparency to the color.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info on adding RGBA color value. That worked great.

In terms of clarifying the “raised/shadow look” the best I can do is refer to the site example I posted above at https://www.azuremedical.com.au/coolsculpting/

The recent posts section (titled “Azure Medical News”) is a little over half way down the page and shows the look I am trying to recreate with the box shadow feature. How do I get this shadow look?

Hi,

You can add this in custom css

.x-recent-posts a {
    box-shadow: 0 5px 10px 0 rgba(191, 194, 210, 0.5);
}

For future reference you can generate shadow code from the link below.

Hope that helps.

Perfect. Thanks so much Paul. And thanks for the link to the site you provided.

Glad we could help.

Cheers!
