Alright, I've had enough. I've been working through this for the last little bit. CSS is new to me like most others who've posted. I've got everything the way I want except for centering the text to the middle of my image. Here's the code I've Frankensteined together.
section.gallery-section [class*='-item']:not([class*='-item-']) {
position: relative;
}
.gallery-caption-grid-simple, .gallery-caption-content, {
display: none;
}
.gallery-grid-item {
padding-bottom: 0;
}
.gallery-grid, {
.gallery-item-description {
text-align: center;
font-style: italic;
font-variant: small-caps;
font-size: 28px;
line-height: 1;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
}
Edit 1: Many thanks to everyone who has contributed both with questions and answers.
Edit 2: After some sleep I was able to get it figured out and updated it here. If there is a cleaner way to do this I would appreciate the feedback.
