Hello @Andre:
You can search for a featured slider plugin on WordPress and choose one that best fits your needs and preferences.

Hello @Andre:
Regarding your first query, it will be resolved in the next update.
For your second query about the featured slider: the standard approach is to use cover images so they adapt well across all screen sizes. If you want to achieve a full-size display, we typically use a 3:2 ratio to ensure proper visibility on a desktop. On mobile, we’ve set it to 100vh so it fits the screen height. If you’d prefer a different behavior on mobile, we can provide custom CSS to adjust it accordingly.
Sincerely,
Minal
Hmm, does you have any ideas for a featured slider like plugin?
I have two problems with the featured slider:
- The option Loop (Last to First) doesn’t work. After the last slide, the slideshow stopped.
- I use the custom slider type (with images)
I want display the selected images in his full size. How can I modify this?
I want to display the featured slider not on the homepage and also not on the entire site. I want to display the featured slider on a specified page.
How can I do this?
Hi
I would like to see the image on the HomePage more centered or as full image if possible.
How should this go ?
https://www.gedankenspiegel.ch this image I mean. As well if I would use the featured slider as well
Thanks in advance
kind regards

Hi
I was forced to move my WordPress to new server and therefore a lot of changes had to be done specially in cache setups. I did change the cache plugin to Litespeed. The configure includes also Cloudflare and Wordfence. Theme is not working totally perfect yet. I had issues with mobile menus. Buy disabling Guest Optimization menus started to work (showed empty menu with this optimization on). Now the theme is having a minor issue left. It is not loading the front page properly always. I assume it is because all this jazz around cache settings but I might be wrong. The area under featured slider is empty for up to 10 seconds or there is a huge area left unfilled: there is a big space between the slider and the content. Time to time (after a while) the front page loads ok, but not always. I wish to have help what setting could fix this issue.
Hello Geoff,
You can add the following CSS in the “Appearance => Customize => Additional CSS” box to hide the progress bar in the Featured Slider:
#feature-slider-section .progress-bg { display: none; }

@Gary: You’re using the Featured Slider with a single image, so it looks like a header image and the changes you made to the header image are not reflecting on your site because of this setup. To update it, please navigate to Customize => Featured Slider and make the changes there.
Kind Regards,
Sujapati
Thank you very much Sujapati. This worked!! I’ve published those changes…
One other thing…Can you please explain to me why I am seeing the header error periodically on the page when the site loads. I get 4 lines of error text that have the following path:
Notice: Undefined index: featured_content_button_text_3 in /home1/departur/public_html/wp-content/themes/rock-star-pro/inc/featured-slider.php on line 412
Notice: Undefined index: featured_content_button_text_4 in /home1/departur/public_html/wp-content/themes/rock-star-pro/inc/featured-slider.php on line 412
Notice: Undefined index: featured_content_button_text_5 in /home1/departur/public_html/wp-content/themes/rock-star-pro/inc/featured-slider.php on line 412
Notice: Undefined index: featured_content_button_text_6 in /home1/departur/public_html/wp-content/themes/rock-star-pro/inc/featured-slider.php on line 412
I don’t see any updates for the theme, however these header errors appear periodically, and if I refresh, they go away, but they have never been there before..
Cheers 🙂
Hello @arquez
You have to enable the featured slider section from Customizer for your desired feature.
To go to Customizer, kindly follow that path,
Dashboard >> Appearance >> Customizer >> Theme Option >> Featured Slider

Please free to ask if any confusion arose,
Sincerely,
Minal

Hello @effess,
Yes we can see multiple h1 tags in featured slider and featured content in your website, but when I checked in our end, I didn’t find such issues. You can also check our demo: https://catchthemes.com/demo/catch-kathmandu-pro/
I think it might be the issue of any plugin. Please check disabling plugins and let me know. Thank you.

Ok, the link is https://robert-chalmers.uk
The front page, you will see featured pages in the slider, except #4 doesn’t change image.
Hello @pixelfaenger
Because of your image transparency, the background color given to that section is seen. Probably you have changed the tertiary background color from the customizer color option try to change the desired color on that tertiary background color to get your desired result. If this creates conflict with other sections try the below CSS for that specific featured slider section
try this CSS snippet
.slider-content-wrapper {
background-color: #bcbcbc;
}
Change color value with your desired value on that CSS code.
Sincerely,
Minal

Hey Sakin!
That plugin does the job pretty god except for one thing.
I followed your instructions. Still the featured slider displays a little grey box in the video Thumbnail as if it wants to print the post title. If I ad a post title it prints the title “over” the video thumbnail.
How could one hide this box?
Thanks in advance !

Hi Bram,
There is no option to change the slider background color as it’s coming from Script. The best option is to use the larger image or stretch the image with Custom CSS.
If you want to stretch the image then you can add the following CSS in the “Appearance => Customize => Additional CSS” box:
#main-slider img { width: 100%; }
But if you want to change the background color then add the following CSS in the “Appearance => Customize => Additional CSS” box:
.featured-slider .hentry { background-color: #5d91bf !important; }

Sakin
Hi Heinz,
There is no option to replace the slider with the Video. So for this, you need to build a child theme and add a custom function.
There is also a plugin called Catch Featured Video Pro which will add an option to upload a video instead of a Featured Image on a Page/post. After installing this plugin, you can add a YouTube video URL to the page/post “Catch Featured Video Pro URL box”. Finally, go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider => Slider Options” and select Slider type as “Page/Post” and then select the page/post that has a video URL.

Sakin
@btcbtc : Please post in your site URL so that I can check for issues on your site and provide you the required fix. The above css code should fix the height issue for the featured slider.
