Grey bar at top of map listing pop-up box

Thanks Guust,

unfortunately, that leads to the greater part of the photograph in the pop-up bubble description being obscured with white (see the Moor Wholesome listing pop-up on the map). I tried changing the background to transparent – that lets the photo come back through, but the listing title doesn’t stand out against the photo very well. It would be possible to change that text to another colour for this listing, but another colour text that works for this listing would not work with other photos (and white would lead to invisible text for listings with no photo).

I think I now realise why the (semi-transparent) grey bar was put in in the first place: to try have the text readable while still allowing for a photo in the bubble. I don’t think it works: the photo is largely obscured and the text not rendered in a pretty way – and I can’t see a CSS solution to this (it’s like trying to square the circle!). Could I suggest developers consider making the pop-up bubble bigger and the moving the Listing title up to its own area above the space for the photo, allowing for a decent-sized and un-obscured photo?

As an aside – we now have 2 options for adding custom CSS – the way used here and the traditional way through WordPress -> Appearance -> Edit CSS. Are there any protocols or guidance as to when it is best to add one or the other?

thanks,
Adrian

Thanks Guust, I’ve played around and got what I think is a workable solution – essentially what I was after: the disappearance of the grey bar. I’ll post the revision to your CSS in case anyone comes across this thread and wants to do the same:

.geodir-bubble_desc h4 {
background: transparent;
}

.geodir-bubble_desc h4 a {
background: transparent;
color: #FFD700;
}

Given that I am using GDF Modern then, which I believe is a child theme, then would I be right in thinking that adding the code to style.css will be more efficient in terms of load times? I just want to make sure that I understood you correctly.

Thanks

ok – thanks
