Can't Hide Bio Text above Slideshow

lisasolonynko

Hi All,

I post a question about hiding gallery descriptions, but there were no takers. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

So, I followed the wiki on placing a description in the biobox on my homepage and then hiding it. It won't hide. I don't know what I am missing. Can someone have a look for me?

I typed in my bio description like this:

<div>Fine art photography that focuses on animals, landscapes, stock, and graphic design.</div>

then I put this into my CSS:

#bioText {display: none;}

But it is not working.

Change your bio text to this:

<div id="bioText">Fine art photography that focuses on animals, landscapes, stock, and graphic design.</div>

That assigns a CSS ID of "bioText" to the block of text so your CSS will properly control it.

Awesome! Thank you so much. It worked like a charm.

Now, any ideas on how to make my gallery descriptions hidden?

You are displaying by gallery and I don't see any descriptions, get it solved?

lisasolonynko

No I have not solved it yet. The gallery I have been experimenting with is:
http://lisasolonynko.smugmug.com/gallery/7517821_4cNZs#485473446_S6mnT

But I can't get the description to hide. Once I figure it out for this gallery, I will do it for the rest.

Any help would be great.

Not computing. I see the description in the gallery but not on the Portfolio
category page. What page do you not want it?

This one gallery and the slideshow biobox is the only place I have put a description. I was able to hide the biobox description, but cannot hide the gallery description. I want to eventually put description on all the galleries but I need to figure out how to then hide them. I want to use the descriptions to help google find my pages, but I don't want my visitors to see the pages.

Add this to your CSS.

.notLoggedIn .gallery_7517821 #albumDescription {display: none;}

But don't think Google will see it either.

hmmm, I may have to rethink that then. I thought that google would still see hidden descriptions just like it sees the biotext that is hidden. Maybe someone can confirm that.

Thanks for all your help.
