Settings for Home and Blog pages

@xcaliber: That’s the normal blog layout of Simple Catch Theme. Can you show me your site. Maybe you have missed adding in the Featured Image in the post. The picture in the side in the Featured Image of that post. To add in the Featured Image see this http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image

@TxFOIFT: Thanks for using Catch Box Pro theme.

1. On the blog page, a number of posts appear. Is it possible to minimize the number of posts to say 5?
— Yes, you can set that from “Settings => Reading” from your WordPress Dashboard and then type 5 in “Blog pages show at most”

2. When navigating through individual post pages, the navigation headers “next” and “previous” appear. Is it possible to change settings that will replace those directions with the title of the next and previous article?
— This once it bit complicated, you need to use the developer or you need to have knowledge about the code. Best, if you don’t like it then hide it by adding the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#nav-single { display: none; }
and then you can add maybe add Yet Another Related Plugin to show related posts under your post which will be more relevant to your site.

But if you want to change the code. Then first you need to build child theme and then copy single.php in your child theme directory and edit the code for nav single.

@Mary Beth: I check in your site and also click on link and it’s working fine. Can you check your site. Also 400 Bad Requests error is not the theme issue, it’s your server issue and if you get error like this then you need to post in your website server support.

@sarkinbar: Actually, you have option to set static front page or latest post, where you can select which page to be added as blog. For that you need to go to “Appearance => Customize => Static Front Page” and then select as per your need.

@marsha: I see that you have made changes thorough Easy Google Font Plugin. Also, I don’t understand your question: Do you want to remove that black background in the post title? or Do yo want to add that black baground int eh post title in posts in Frontpage?

@marsha: Yes, you can go to “Plugins” in your WordPress Dashboard and then deactivate that plugin. But, if you don’t want to deactivate that plugin, then check that plugin font color options and change the color there. This is not from our theme.

@marsha: Thant is default from WordPress code the_archive_title function. To remove that, you need to user filter hook. So, first build child theme. For child theme, refer to https://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/ and then add the following code in child theme functions.php file.

add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', function ($title) {
    if ( is_category() ) {
        $title = single_cat_title( '', false );
    } elseif ( is_tag() ) {
        $title = single_tag_title( '', false );
    } 
    return $title;
});
