    Hello Support.

    I am trying to re-create the 4 boxes on the homepage with the picture and text via HTML on a “regular page”. I do not the default homepage that comes with the theme. I want to use a “regular page” for my homepage, that will have various other content including the 4 boxes.

    I am having a hard time figuring out the HTML-code that will allow me to have these 4 boxes on my homepage so that I can then change the Title, Description, image, etc, manually of these individual 4 boxes. They need not “pull” this information from anywhere as I will be adding all of that manually.

    Do you have the HTML-code for these 4 boxes so that I can edit it from within a “regular homepage”…??

    Thanx in advance.

    –d.

    @Driven13: You can add that Featured Content from “Appearance => Featured Content”. Then in “Select Content Type”, you can select “Image Content” and then add in image, title, content and link optional in “Appearance => Featured Content => Featured Image Content Options”.

    Note: you can also select page or post or category in Select Content Type. For more, check out theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/

    Hi Sakin.

    Thanx for the response but I think I am not explaining my needs well.

    If I use the “Featured Content Options” through the control panel then I cannot add all the other content to the homepage that I want.

    So I am choosing a separate “regular page” and making it my homepage via Settings > Reading > Homepage

    So on this “regular page” Homepage I want the nice 4 boxes to show up. So I was wondering if you have the HTML-code for the 4 boxes that I can add to my homepage WITHOUT having to go through the control panel (“Appearance => Featured Content => Featured Image Content Options”).

    All I need is the structure and CSS and I can MANUALLY add the picture, headline, description, etc.

    Please let me know if I am not being clear still.

    Thanx in advance.

    –d.

    @Driven13: Hum, That featured image content is manual only. Ok for detail codes, you can open catchkathmandu-functions.php file and copy the code from function catchkathmandu_homepage_featured_content(). For CSS, open style.css and find the code in /* =Featured Posts

    Thanx Sakin. That is very useful and what I was indeed looking for.

    Any idea why the code below is putting the two boxes in two rows each, when it should be all in one row…????

    I copied it from the Source Code of the homepage and then pasted it into a regular page. Other text below it is showing up fine full width and no margin. But these 4 boxes are showing up in two rows instead of one.

    Hi.

    Unfortunately, it is on localhost so I cannot send you link yet.

    But the code above is EXACTLY what I copied from the source code of the homepage and pasted into this new page. You will notice that the code is between the section tags.
