how to code to remove the extra white space under slideshow

Topic summary

Main issue: In the Taste theme slideshow, extra white space appears at the bottom on mobile. The user also wants slideshow images to be clickable without a button and preferably open in a new tab.

Guidance: Multiple replies share tutorials for making Dawn theme slideshow images clickable, noting Taste uses the same slideshow as Dawn. One suggestion clarifies the image click relies on adding a button link even if the button is hidden.

Progress: The user implemented a clickable slideshow and provided store URL (the828mart.com) and password (9988). They report CSS added to base.css didn’t work initially and ask how to open links in a new page and remove mobile white space.

Solution provided: A support rep shared steps to add Custom CSS via Theme settings and supplied a media query to hide the slideshow text wrapper on screens ≤750px, which should remove the extra mobile white space:
@media screen and (max-width: 750px){ .slideshow__text-wrapper.banner__content { display: none !important; } }

Status: Clickable image achieved. Mobile whitespace fix proposed via CSS and awaiting confirmation. Opening links in a new tab/new page remains unanswered.

Hi I got the slide show to be clickable. but can it open to a new page? and also if the extra white space on the mobile view can be removed. Its the828mart.com and the password is 9988

My code will hide the button, so please add a link for the button so that the image can be clicked to open the link to that button.
