text on image

Hi - How do I get the "text" option on an image? Sometimes it is there, sometimes not it seems! The site is https://staging.karlsylvester.com/ and I would like to position the name "Karl Sylvester" in a static position on the image (so it appears in the same place on all devices). the image is in a home hero using the "Split" template.
Hi there,
your home page is using a Block Element, found in Appearance > Elements.
Select that Block Element, and switch to the Mobile view, and in the spacing panel, delete the Padding values, it will then inherit the same values set in the Desktop spacing.
Thanks David - will give that a go. Still wondering how to get the text "A" option to place text over the image?
Thats not an option in the core block editor for a regular Image Block.
What you would do is:
1. Add a GB Container Block
1.1 Set the Background Image
1.2 Set the Spacing > Padding and/or Minimum height to set the size you want to display the image.
2. Inside the Container Block add a Headline Block to add your text.
Thanks - just wondering when that text option over an image is available? I have added it on this page https://gamechangeproject.com/mindfulness-with-horses/ (picture of the two ponies) but not quite sure how I did it!

That would be something WP would have to add - but i don't think there are any plans to add it.
On that page, you're using a core Cover Block.
