Adding Post Title to Canyon Theme Slider - wordpress

Question

I'm using Wordpress Canyon Theme in my website (http://thomasconti.blog.br/). The slider works fine but it would be really great if it also showed post titles and in larger letters, instead of just a bunch of small text like the default configuration is set to show.
Please, if anyone can help, here is the code for the slider:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content">
<div id="slide">
<div class="flexslider">
<ul class="slides">
<?php
$slide = get_option('cany_slide_cat');
$count = get_option('cany_slide_count');
$slide_query = new WP_Query('category_name='.$slide.'&posts_per_page='.$count.'' );
while ( $slide_query->have_posts() ) : $slide_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID
?>
<li>
<img class="slideimg" src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo get_image_url()?>&h=300&w=650&zc=1" title="" alt="" />
<div class="flex-caption">
<?php wpe_excerpt('wpe_excerptlength_slide', ''); ?>
</div>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
</div>
I tried to find this info on the web but only found other bloggers using this theme and asking the same question. Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't know that plugin but from your question I'd say you need to put a wordpress template tags for the title in here:
<div class="flex-caption">
<!-- at this place -->
<?php wpe_excerpt('wpe_excerptlength_slide', ''); ?>
</div>
E.g. mock that with some dummy HTML and headlien:
<div class="flex-caption">
<h2>This is My Headline that is Just There</h2>
<?php wpe_excerpt('wpe_excerptlength_slide', ''); ?>
</div>
Style it via your themes CSS and for the content use the_title():
<div class="flex-caption">
<?php the_title( '<h2>', '</h2>' ); ?>
<?php wpe_excerpt('wpe_excerptlength_slide', ''); ?>
</div>
Depending on your styling needs you might want to introduce more markup.
To link the title you use the_permalink() again as you already have in your code. That could do it, so hopefully this gives you some pointers.
