Don't show gallery description

Hi,

My understanding is that gallery descriptions are useful for search results / previews in Google.
However, I would like them to not display. I am trying to turn my galleries into blog-like posts, with a good bit of text above the photos, then the photos.

Having the test unremovable seems strange to me for a very customizable site. If I'm missing something, it's not for lack of clicking around...

Thanks for any help.

Jake

    Hi Jake,

    There's not a built-in way to remove the gallery description, but you can do it with CSS. You'll need to add a CSS content block, then copy and paste this into it:

    .sm-gallery-description {display: none;}

    If there's anything else we can help you with, just let us know!
    All The Best,
    Amanda

    I may have spoken too quickly...
    Pasted into a CSS block and no luck.
    I have another CSS block that blocks keywords from showing. Can I have more than one?

    Got this to work:

    /* Hide the gallery description text */
    .sm-gallery-description {
    display: none !important;
    }

    What is highlighted in the upper right flyout? "entire site" or "all galleries" would need to be for the location of the CSS block.

    Allen - tried both all galleries and uniquely the one I was in. Got that second part of text to work though.
