So I managed to get rid of the search bar at the top. Any way to tighten that space up a hair, I’d like to see the site title image be equidistant top and bottom – to the top of the page and the featured sliders.
Still can’t fix #2….
Thanks!
@PoulKristensen: You are using Catch Kathmandu Free theme, then you only have option to use “Featured Post Slider” for that you need to create new post and add in featured image in your post and then add your post ID in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Post Slider Options”
You can check out Catch Kathmandu theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu/ for detail instruction. We also have Video screencast showing Post Slider http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/
Hi
I am a complete newbee, so this is probably simple, but I cannot seem to see the solution: Where do I change the images in the top slider on the homepage?
(I assume this slider is the one called “Featured slider”?)
Thanks
Poul
@Ivan: In Catch Kathmandu Pro, if you want posts to automatically add in Slider then you have to go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options” and then select slider type as “Category Slider” and save changes. Then go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Category Slider Options” and select the category.
Note: after you select the category, make sure that the post in that category have featured image. As this category slider take the post featured image, title and excerpt text. For adding featured image, see this http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-wordpress-postpage/
For more, check our theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/
How can posts from specific category appears automatically at featured slider?
I want to replace preinstalled “Seto Ghumba”, “Nagarkot” and “Kathmandu Durbar Square” with my own posts.
@Kim: This is strange looks like regenerate is not working in your site. Did you activate any new plugin or update plugin recently. As I tested in my server and it’s working fine. I have just tested in new demo server as well. It’s working fine.
Also when I check in your source of your image in the site, it’s
<img width="644" height="312" alt="laser-hair-removal" class="attachment-featured-slider wp-post-image" src="http://hidemyage.com/wp-content/uploads/laser-hair-removal1.jpg">
You can see the image tag is taking width and height properly but the in src it is taking full image. So, it’s issue with the image crop.
I will also email you, if you want to talk in detail.
The feature slider used to work on our site http://www.threemorebites.com then it stopped working suddenly the other day. Right now we have 7 posts set to featured slider but only 1 shows up. Any idea why?
Post ID featured are: 7, 913, 1538, 1667, 1549, 1516, 263, and 1564. All of them worked previously. I’ve tried checking on Safari, FireFox, and Chrome but the slider doesn’t show up on all three.
Ok. But I’m not using the slider. I’m only using the featured images for the post excerpts…
@Kim: I check in the theme update and it’s nothing to do with image size. I see in the code it is still set to
add_image_size( 'featured-slider', 644, 320, true );
Check that regenerate thumbnail plugin and clear your cache. I am sure it’s not related to theme update.
@MFerg: The height depend on the featured image that you have added in your posts. Our recommended featured image size for the slider is Width: 1280px and Height: 550px. So, all the image uploaded in this size or greater then this will automatically crop into this size and will be used in slider.
Now, if you want to reduce the height of the slider. Then you can upload the image with smaller height then 550px. In this case our slider code will not crop the image and will show the original image size you have uploaded. This will reduce your slider height.
Hello,
Is it possible to reduce the height of the featured slider? I’d like to display more page content before scrolling. I’m using the Kathmandu Free theme.
Thank you!
@Boaz: The default images, that you see in the demo images. If you don’t want images to associated with the post, then you need to use Featured Image Slider. But for this, you need to upgrade to Pro version.
After you change the Number of Slides, have you added in the post IDS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Featured Post Slider Options”
See the post slider tutorial at http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/
You can also see the tutorial for Image Slider which is available only in pro version at http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/
Hi, thank you for this great template.
I understand the part about adding featured images to the home page slider by adding images to posts.
but, on default, the template comes with two featured images that appear on the home page and have no text, so they dont seem to be associated to any page/post.
I like it, because it acts like a images slider. how can i add more images to the slideshow ?
tried changing “number of featured images” to 4, but there are still only 2…
help please ?
Thanks
@Sakin: Is it possible to have the featured slider only showing on certain pages ?
thanks
@Sakin:
If you look at the featured slider on the following pages:
A. http://www.bizq.co.za/ : you will notice that the page title does not show in the extract section (section on the left bottom of the featured slider)
B.http://www.bizq.co.za/sme-business-consulting-services/taxation/ : You will see the page title name appears on the extract section e.g. Accounting services and so on
Hope this makes sense. Thanks
@Sakin: I selected the entire site option under slider options for the featured slider. Is there a reason why the page / post title does not show on the home page slider yet it shows on all other pages ? Thanks
@lanretobi: It depends on the theme you are using. They might be same and different. In our new theme, Custom Header Image is the image that are in your header which is controlled main from “Appearance => Header” and also from “Appearance => Theme Options => Header Featured Image Options” to give you more control on where and how you want to display.
Featured Image is the main image of you post, it can be used in your Slider, Archive/Blog page, and also as the main image that represent your post. Depending on the theme it might also show in the single post above your title.
Hi,
The slider was working fine until I accidentally put 1963, the post !D into the first box instead of the second, resulting in 1963 featured posts to load. I don’t want this, as I only was 6 but every time I try to change it, the following appears after loading: “Error 404 – Page Not Found.
We’re sorry! This page is not available.
THIS MIGHT BE BECAUSE:
You have typed the web address incorrectly, or the page you were looking for may have been moved, updated or deleted.
PLEASE TRY THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS INSTEAD:
Check for a mis-typed URL error, then press the refresh button on your browser or Use the search box at the Header.”
Please help as I can’t get this to work! Thanks.
Hi, I’m really confused about the static page. I have my post slider images on the default page (they work find) I then just wanted to add some information with images underneath (which I made as a post) and the images with the post do not show up.
I created a custom menu but I’m confused about the default page (which I put my featured post slider on) and the static page option. Do I need to start over and create a home page and put the sliders on that page? Then do you need the default page?
Also, is there a way to get rid of the white boxes around all of my posts, images, widgets, and side-bar?
I’m just starting the try to set this site up and would love any information you can give me.
My website is: http://www.rainehollister.com/
Thanks, Raine
