Disable links to posts from featured images

@spfitzgerald: Hum… You are using Catch Kathmandu Free theme which only have option to use Featured Post Slider or Featured Category Slider, which highlight your post in your Slider. So, there is no option to remove the link. To add the image slider without the link, you need Featured Image Slider. This option is only there in Catch Kathmandu Pro theme. See details at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/

@spfitzgerald: I just check in your site and found that you have following CSS in “Custom CSS” box.
#hgroup-wrap { padding-left: 2px;padding-top: 0;padding-top:3rem; padding-bottom: 0; }

So, you can edit that css and change the padding top 0 so it will be as below:
#hgroup-wrap { padding-top: 0; padding-bottom: 0; padding-left: 2px; }

And further you have following css in Custom CSS box.
#site-logo {padding-top: 0; padding-top: 3rem;}

Change that to
#site-logo {padding-top: 5px; }

and then add the following css
#header-right { padding-top: 5px; }

@spfitzgerald: There is problem with the css that you have added in custom css box. There is extra curly bracket.
Please fix the below css
#site-logo {padding-top: 5px; }}
with the following
#site-logo {padding-top: 5px; }

After that there is following css in your custom css box will work fine. You might need to change the passing as per you need.
#header-right { padding-top: 5px; }
