Yes it is with a business plan and some custom code:

this tutorial is for images only. I need it to be on thumbnails unfortunately. im having a hard time finding a tutorial on this matter...

Thanks allot though.

.portfolio-text {
    position: absolute !important;
    top: 50%;

    transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
    width: 100%;

Hi @tuanphan. I havent solved it yet.... i would LOVE some help. i have found a better example of how i wan't it to be though...

i would like for my projet images in my portfolio to be like in the first example from this site :

http://css-workshop.com/hover-box-text-over-images-on-hover-and-more/

so, some white text appears and the image turns a little dark. i would like for the image to still have a title though, underneath the image, like it is on my site now.

Really appreciate your help @tuanphan. THANK YOU
