    Hi,

    I cannot figure out how to replace the default images (brick wall, flower) from the homepage and replace them with a gallery of my own. Under Appearance->Theme Options->Featured Post Slider->Slider Options, if I “Disable” the “Enable Sidebar” then the images disappear. But I can’t find anywhere an option to change those images to other images. I like having the slider there, but I want my own images. What am I missing?

    Thanks.

    @shmuelhonig: That is Featured Post Slider to highlight your post. The image you are seeing is from demo slider. So, to replace that you need to add Post IDs in Featured Slider. You can see the detail instruction on “How to Add Featured Post Slider?” at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-box/ . Looking at your comment it doesn’t look, you are using Catch Box Theme. But since you have posted in Catch Box Theme Support Forum, I am giving you instructions on the basis of that. But if you are using different theme then you can go to Theme Instructions main page http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/ and select the theme for which you want to check out the instruction.

    Currently this theme only supports Posts as the Featured Slider. To add Featured Slider, follow these basic steps:
    1. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider”
    2. Click on Slider Options
    3. Simply insert the ID numbers for posts in the respective boxes, one post ID number in each box
    4. To change the slider effects and timing, go to Slider Effect Options which is just below Slider Options
    5. Save your changes

    Note:
    * When you add the Post IDs, make sure your posts have Featured Images
    * If you are unable to find post IDs, please install Catch IDs Plugin

    Great, thanks!

    Is there away to reduce vertical “dead space” in the Title/Tagline/Logo area? How about in the menu?

    @shmuelhonig: Can you post in your site URL and explain the section what you want to remove the space from. Then I can check in and give you the css.

    Vertical empty space in many places:
    1) Above and below Title/Logo
    2) Immediately under the menu, above the Page box
    3) In the Page box above and below the title (“Welcome”)
    4) In the widget boxes above and below titles

    Please keep in mind that I do not know how to code. Thanks.

    @shmuelhonig:
    1. For space above and below title, you can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box. If you want o further reduce, then you can reduce padding more.
    #header-content { padding: 15px 0; }

    2. Same here, add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
    #main { padding-top: 15px; }

    2. Same here, add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

    #content .entry-title { padding-bottom: 0; }
    #content .hentry { padding-top: 15px; }

    2. Same here, add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

    #secondary .widget { padding-top: 15px; }
    #secondary .widget-title { padding-bottom: 0; }
