Trouble removing controls, indicators and disable 'pause on hover'

I have tried to eliminate the controls from the featured slider. This Additional CSS seems to have eliminated the controls (prev and next) but the indicator "dots" still appear to control the displayed image: .cycle-prev #prev, .cycle-next #next { display: none; } I would like to "hide" those dots that indicate which of my 4 images are being displayed. Also, I am pulling out my hair trying to figure out how to put a stop to the pause-on-hover behavior. I would like it to continuously rotate through the images without pausing. I tried adding featured-slider.php to my child theme top directory but it seems to ignore it when I change the line data-cycle-pause-on-hover="true" (to read) data-cycle-pause-on-hover="false". Even after saving the file and loading the page in a different browser it makes no change. I love this theme, but, what am I doing wrong? Did I make a terrible mistake when I renamed the theme from rock-start-pro-child (which I D/L from Catch Themes) to rock-star-pro-child ??? And is that why my child theme seems to be getting ignored? My test site is: http://karlstest.com Is it not a good practice to use Additional CSS and a child theme? If I was pressed for time I would hire a customizer.
