How to fix a Text box in place with image slideshow background

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A user working with Shopify’s TASTE theme wants to keep a text box stationary while allowing background slideshow images to continue rotating on their homepage.

Initial Misunderstanding:

  • Another user initially suggested disabling “Auto Rotate Slides” in the theme editor, which would stop the entire slideshow.
  • The original poster clarified they want images to continue scrolling while only the text remains fixed in position.

Current Status:

  • The issue requires custom coding work beyond simple theme settings.
  • The helper acknowledged it’s not a quick fix and offered paid assistance through a contact form.
  • The discussion remains unresolved without a self-service solution provided.

Hi,

I am using the TASTE theme and have a slideshow banner on my home page.
How do I freeze the text box in place so it doesn’t change however still has the slideshow working in the background?

Hi @HH_2023 ,

In the theme editor click on the slideshow selection and turn off “Auto Rotate Slides”

This doesn’t fix the issue at all. I still want the images to scroll through, I just want the text box to remain fixed
