How to Keep Title Text Fixed & Static With Rotating Background in the Divi Slider Module

If you’re using the Divi Slider Module and want the background images to change but the text to stay fixed, this article is for you.

By default, Divi animates the text (headline, subhead, buttons) in and out with each slide — which looks nice unless the text is exactly the same on every slide. In that case, it just looks like it’s blinking for no reason.

Here’s a super simple fix that stops the text from animating, so it stays still while the background image rotates behind it.

Just add the following CSS to your page:

.et_pb_slide_description {
animation: none !important;
}

That’s it.

You can add it in one of these places:

Page Settings > Advanced > Custom CSS (good for one-off sliders)

Or Divi > Theme Options Custom CSS (if you want it site-wide)

Optional: Target a Specific Slider

If you only want this to apply to one slider (like your homepage hero), you can give that section or slider a CSS class — for example: homepage-slider.

Then update your CSS like this:

.homepage-slider .et_pb_slide_description {
animation: none !important;
}

This is one of those tiny tweaks that can make a Divi site feel more polished. If you’re using the slider just for background image transitions, there’s no need to animate the text over and over.
