Hi there!
I’m currently running a Tesseract 2.5.5 theme on my wordpress site. I’m trying to display some posts using the post carousel. When I insert this to the page, the featured images for the posts are displayed nicely. However, the post titles are not shown. I have downloaded a widget to hide post titles in the post themselves. Sure enough, when I uncheck this box, the title is displayed on the carousel. Is there any way to display the post title on the carousel without having to uncheck this box?
Many thanks!
Hi William,
I’m not too sure. It all depends on how the other plugin is hiding the post titles. Do you have a public URL where we can take a look at your post carousel? If you need to keep this URL private from other users, just select “Private Reply” on the bottom right of the comment box.
Hi Alex, thanks for the reply,
Here is a link to the page. I’ve been got the original sliders on the page

As mentioned, the titles are not being displayed on the siteorigin sliders due to this conflicting plugin
Many thanks
Hi William,
Unfortunately, the way the plugin hides the title is actually very “strict”. It allows no actual chance for us to hook in and display the title as any instance of WordPress fetching the post title itself, results in nothing. For reference, here’s the title for one of your posts in the carousel:
This means that you’ll need to find either an alternative plugin, use CSS to hide the titles or display them.
I can help with using CSS to hide the post title. Try adding the following CSS to WP AdminAppearanceCustom CSS:
.post .entry-header { display: none; }Does that hide the title in the places you would like it hidden?
You might also need to install the SiteOrigin CSS Editor.
Hi Alex,
Many thanks for your reply,
I’ll try the siteorigin css editor, might be some time!
One final question, as a complete noob CSS can you recommend any decent tutorials?
Hi William,
I highly recommend the excellent HTML Dog CSS tutorials. I personally got my start from reading their old (and very outdated) book so I can definitely vouch for them! :)
