I'd like to remove the button on Sparkling Slider, make slide clickable.

Sparkling
1

Can anyone help me out with this? Not sure what to do.

Replace original slider code with this one inside extras.php Also this can be done via Child Theme by copy/pasting this code inside functions.php.

if ( ! function_exists( 'sparkling_featured_slider' ) ) :
/**
 * Featured image slider, displayed on front page for static page and blog
 */
function sparkling_featured_slider() {
  if ( is_front_page() && of_get_option( 'sparkling_slider_checkbox' ) == 1 ) {
    echo '<div class="flexslider">';
      echo '<ul class="slides">';

        $count = of_get_option( 'sparkling_slide_number' );
        $slidecat =of_get_option( 'sparkling_slide_categories' );

        $query = new WP_Query( array( 'cat' =>$slidecat,'posts_per_page' =>$count ) );
        if ($query->have_posts()) :
          while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post();
          echo '<a href="'. get_permalink() .'">';
          echo '<li>';
            if ( (function_exists( 'has_post_thumbnail' )) && ( has_post_thumbnail() ) ) :
              echo get_the_post_thumbnail();
            endif;

              endwhile;
            endif;

          echo '</li>';
          echo '</a>';
      echo '</ul>';
    echo ' </div>';
  }
}
endif;

Thank you for the reply! I tried it out, it didn’t work…is this affected if I have custom CSS around the slider button?

EDIT: It does! I removed the custom CSS i had on that slider button and now your code snippet works. Thanks so much!

It works exactly like it should on your website. Image is now clickable and title and excerpt is removed. If you don’t see changes make sure to clean your browser cache and try to view it again.
