Creating a text and colour overlay on hover on an image block

Hi all,

Since some changes to Squarespace, I've been struggling to implement the text and colour overlay on hover to image blocks.

On the page I'm working on, I have a row of six images with text blocks and accordions below them, and I'm looking to add a text and colour overlay on hover to each of the six images. I have been using different code I've found elsewhere, but have not been able to crack it.

The effect I'm after is essentially this one, but I'm having trouble targeting classes/id's to make it work.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would be hugely appreciative!

You can try adding to Home > Design > Custom Css

section[data-section-id="62eca74a6d9b2e0497d75203"] .image-block  .content-fill:after {
  content:'Here is the title';
  color: #fff; /*color of title overlay*/
  display: flex;
  justify-content:center;
  align-items: center;
  background: rgba(0,0,0,0.3); /*background color overlay*/
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  position: absolute;  
  opacity: 0;
  transition: opacity 0.5s;
}


section[data-section-id="62eca74a6d9b2e0497d75203"] .image-block:hover .content-fill:after{
  opacity: 1;
}
