All sliders link to only one page

Hi @Raielene,

In Catch Kathmandu Free Version, you can only put the post images in the slider, and the link by default points to its relative post. In Catch Kathmandu Pro Version, you have other features in slider image such as post, page, category or custom image (with custom link). I recommend you to upgrade to Pro version.

Hi @Raielene,

I understand your issue. But the links in the slider is dynamically generated from the code and always points to the very post that the featured is of. I mean slider image of post1 links to post1 and so on. But you mean to have all the slider link to the same page say Post-X. For that you have to override the theme’s function with child theme and place a static link (hard coded) in the anchor tag. And whenever you want to change the link you have to go through the code.
That is why I recommend you to upgrade to Pro.
But if you want to change it within the Free version, create a child theme. You can find more details on creating a child theme HERE. Then in child theme’s functions.php add the following codes.

/**
 * Change slider's links to one custom link
 *
 */
function catchkathmandu_post_sliders() {
	//delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_post_sliders' );

	global $post;
	global $catchkathmandu_options_settings;
   	$options = $catchkathmandu_options_settings;

	if( ( !$catchkathmandu_post_sliders = get_transient( 'catchkathmandu_post_sliders' ) ) && !empty( $options[ 'featured_slider' ] ) ) {
		echo '<!-- refreshing cache -->';

		$catchkathmandu_post_sliders = '
		<div id="main-slider" class="container">
        	<section class="featured-slider">';
				$get_featured_posts = new WP_Query( array(
					'posts_per_page' => $options[ 'slider_qty' ],
					'post__in'		 => $options[ 'featured_slider' ],
					'orderby' 		 => 'post__in',
					'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1 // ignore sticky posts
				));
				$i=0; while ( $get_featured_posts->have_posts()) : $get_featured_posts->the_post(); $i++;
					$title_attribute = apply_filters( 'the_title', get_the_title( $post->ID ) );
					$excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
					if ( $i == 1 ) { $classes = 'post postid-'.$post->ID.' hentry slides displayblock'; } else { $classes = 'post postid-'.$post->ID.' hentry slides displaynone'; }
					$catchkathmandu_post_sliders .= '
					<article class="'.$classes.'">
						<figure class="slider-image">
							<a title="Permalink to '.the_title('','',false).'" href=" http://your-site/link-to-some-post ">
								'. get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'slider', array( 'title' => esc_attr( $title_attribute ), 'alt' => esc_attr( $title_attribute ), 'class'	=> 'pngfix' ) ).'
							</a>
						</figure>
						<div class="entry-container">
							<header class="entry-header">
								<h1 class="entry-title">
									<a title="Permalink to '.the_title('','',false).'" href=" http://your-site/link-to-some-post ">'.the_title( '<span>','</span>', false ).'</a>
								</h1>
							</header>';
							if( $excerpt !='') {
								$catchkathmandu_post_sliders .= '<div class="entry-content">'. $excerpt.'</div>';
							}
							$catchkathmandu_post_sliders .= '
						</div>
					</article><!-- .slides -->';
				endwhile; wp_reset_query();
				$catchkathmandu_post_sliders .= '
			</section>
        	<div id="slider-nav">
        		<a class="slide-previous"><</a>
        		<a class="slide-next">></a>
        	</div>
        	<div id="controllers"></div>
  		</div><!-- #main-slider -->';

	set_transient( 'catchkathmandu_post_sliders', $catchkathmandu_post_sliders, 86940 );
	}
	echo $catchkathmandu_post_sliders;
} // catchkathmandu_post_sliders

Note: Please replace http://your-site/link-to-some-post in the above code with your desired link. There are two occurrences.

Let me know if this helps.
