I’ll be honest….I’m not the greatest at HTML, CSS, and JS…but I get by. I installed a pre-loaded wordpress template and it uses Owl Carousel 2.2.1 to scroll through blog posts on the front page.

The current behavior, out of the box, shows the blog title, read more link, comment link, etc. and then a transparent background. When you hover over the display block, the image that is part of the blog post, is shown, but is zoomed in and only part of the image (which is fine with me).

The behavior I’m trying to fix is the hover. I’m trying to turn that behavior off so that the background image is just always there. I just can’t figure out where to make that change. I’ve combed through all the js, css, and html to try and find it but can’t seem to locate it.

Here is a copy of the css for the owl carousel, which is where I’m pretty sure the setting is or should be.

.owl-carousel {
  display: none;
  width: 100%;
  -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;
  /* position relative and z-index fix webkit rendering fonts issue */
  position: relative;
  z-index: 1; }
  .owl-carousel .owl-stage {
    position: relative;
    -ms-touch-action: pan-Y;
   /* -moz-backface-visibility: hidden;
    /* fix firefox animation glitch */ }
  .owl-carousel .owl-stage:after {
    content: ".";
    display: block;
    clear: both;
   visibility: hidden;
    line-height: 0;
    height: 0; }
  .owl-carousel .owl-stage-outer {
    position: relative;
    overflow: hidden;
    /* fix for flashing background */
    -webkit-transform: translate3d(0px, 0px, 0px); }
  .owl-carousel .owl-wrapper,
  .owl-carousel .owl-item {
    -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
    -moz-backface-visibility: hidden;
    -ms-backface-visibility: hidden;
    -webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
    -moz-transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
    -ms-transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0); }
  .owl-carousel .owl-item {
    position: relative;
    min-height: 1px;
    float: left;
    -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
    -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;
    -webkit-touch-callout: none; }
  .owl-carousel .owl-item img {
    display: block;
    width: 100%; }
  .owl-carousel .owl-nav.disabled,
  .owl-carousel .owl-dots.disabled{
    display: none; }
  .owl-carousel .owl-nav .owl-prev,
  .owl-carousel .owl-nav .owl-next,
  .owl-carousel .owl-dot {
    cursor: pointer;
    cursor: hand;
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -khtml-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -ms-user-select: none;
    user-select: none; }
  .owl-carousel.owl-loaded {
    display: block; }
  .owl-carousel.owl-loading {
    opacity: 0;
    display: block; }
  .owl-carousel.owl-hidden {
    opacity: 0; }
  .owl-carousel.owl-refresh .owl-item {
    visibility: hidden; }
  .owl-carousel.owl-drag .owl-item {
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -ms-user-select: none;
    user-select: none; }
  .owl-carousel.owl-grab {
    cursor: move;
    cursor: grab; }
  .owl-carousel.owl-rtl {
    direction: rtl; }
  .owl-carousel.owl-rtl .owl-item {
    float: right; }

/* No Js */
.no-js .owl-carousel {
  display: block; }

.owl-carousel .animated {

  animation-fill-mode: both; }

.owl-carousel .owl-animated-in {
  z-index: 0; }

.owl-carousel .owl-animated-out {
  z-index: 1; }

.owl-carousel .fadeOut {
  animation-name: fadeOut; }

@keyframes fadeOut {
  0% {
    opacity: 1; }
  100% {
    opacity: 0; } }

.owl-height {

  transition: opacity 400ms ease; }

.owl-carousel .owl-item img.owl-lazy {
  transform-style: preserve-3d; }  


/*

.owl-carousel .owl-video-wrapper {
  position: relative;
  height: 100%;
  background: #000; }

.owl-carousel .owl-video-play-icon {
  position: absolute;
  height: 80px;
  width: 80px;
  left: 50%;
  top: 50%;
  margin-left: -40px;
  margin-top: -40px;
  background: url("owl.video.play.png") no-repeat;
  cursor: pointer;
  z-index: 1;
  -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
  transition: transform 100ms ease; }

.owl-carousel .owl-video-play-icon:hover {
  -ms-transform: scale(1.3, 1.3);
      transform: scale(1.3, 1.3); }

.owl-carousel .owl-video-playing .owl-video-tn,
.owl-carousel .owl-video-playing .owl-video-play-icon {
  display: none; }

.owl-carousel .owl-video-tn {
  opacity: 0;
  height: 100%;
  background-position: center center;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: contain;
  transition: opacity 400ms ease; }

.owl-carousel .owl-video-frame {
  position: relative;
  z-index: 1;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%; }

This is what the behavior looks like:
