@rawb_in: To decrease the white space between the Footer Widgets and Featured Post Slider. Decrease the padding top in the following css and add it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
`.blog #main { padding-top: 40px; }`

Actually the footer widget is to be show in all pages. But the following css will help you to hide it in other pages and will only show in your homepage.
`
#footer-sidebar { display: none; }
.blog #footer-sidebar { display: block; }
`

Hi Sakin,

I’ve set the slider to Featured Image, enable on home page.

Under image, I’ve put in the url from my media library which is set to 976×313 in the thumbnail editor.

No link.  Didn’t check off, “to open in new window”.  The image comes in in the proper proportions but small (maybe it works on mobile). I know the images work correctly in the post, so is there another step I am missing?  I am using Post Thumbnail editor and also resized images in Picasa.

Site is http://www.iwritegreatcopy.com.  Thanks for your help.

@rawb_in: Yes you can decrease the white space between the Footer Widgets and Featured Post Slider. That is not a problem. But you cannot remove show footer widget only in homepage. Footer means it will be on all page. But there is a css trick that you can use to hide it.

So, first send me your site URL.

[rawb_in]

Thanks Sakin! It worked.

Do you know how I can post the footer only on my homepage?  I have three widgets that I just want to show on the homepage, not all the pages.

You can download from here http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/catch-everest/developers/ . You will see the list of version files.

Hi Sakin,  Great! Thanks for the clarification.  Would you recommend editing these to fit the slider proportions in an image editor first (i used picasa) before importing into wordpress media and from there set featured image slider? I had some issues with 1 of my images in the past, this resolved the issue.

Thanks,

Karin

By any chance do you have the zip file for Catch Everest before the recent update? It was working fine with the past Catch Everest.  Please let me know. Thanks!

[rawb_in]

Hi Sakin,

Thanks for the help. I deleted the theme and uploaded the zip file, but it’s still not showing on the homepage. Also, do you know how to make the footer widgets on only the homepage?

 

Thanks

[Sakin]

@karinschultz: By choosing “featured image slider” you can add upload image of your own choice, also control title, content and links all these optional. So, if you choose Featured Image Slider you can link to any page, post, category or even link outside your site. So even you can just add image without link. This give you total freedom.

[Sakin]

@rawb_in: Yes, I am aware of this issue and we have also send patch update to WordPress.org but they haven’t made it live yet. So, you cannot update at this time automatically. But there is trick to do it manual update.

Just activate any default theme like Twenty Twelve Theme.
Then delete the theme Catch Everest.
Then you can download the theme from http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/catch-everest.0.1.5.1.zip
Then you can manually install theme through “Appearance => Themes => Install Themes”. Click on Upload and then upload the zip file you have downloaded and activate it.
After this you can change the settings.

Note: You don’t have to worry what will happen to data after deleting the theme. It will not be deleted. It will be restored once you active the uploaded theme.

@jsvoboda: The text in the featured post slider is the Title of the Post and the Excerpt of the post, which is auto from the content. But in WordPress you have excerpt box in the post from which you can further control the content. More about excerpt box http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/excerpts/

@nenepretty85: Great it’s solve. Thanks and you too have a nice day.

[danskvand]

@sakin

Thanks. The problem is solved.

[nenepretty85]

I found out! It was an option I changed into the permalinks! Sorry if I made you loose your time 😉

Have a nice day!

@Sakin

Still curious, is there any way to determine where the text is placed on the featured slider post?

 

Thanks!

[rawb_in]

p.s. this happened after I updated the theme.

[Sakin]

@Eugene: Thanks for your appreciation.

Catch Everest Free theme only have option to add Featured Post Slider, so it has to be post not page. But if you upgrade to pro version there you have option to choose from Featured Post Slider, Page Slider, Category Slider and Image Slider. See this for more details http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest-pro/

But yes, you have option to hide the featured post slider post from homepage post through “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Featured Post Slider Options”. Then check Exclude Slider post from Homepage posts and save it.

Hi!

First of all I would like to thank for such a nice theme. Great job! 🙂

As I got in this topic to replace the Everest picture I need to set up a Post and to add ID picture in a featured post slider options. It works great but all my posts are now publishing on the title page. I’ve tried to add page’s (not post’s) ID instead but it didn’t work out.

Is there a way to do it via page’s ID or to add the post and to ‘hide’ it somehow (not to appear it on the front page).

Here is the link: http://standrewsmoscow.org/stdev/install/wordpress/

Thank you in advance!

@K8e: Thanks, now I can see your site.

1. One of my featured slider pics won’t stay the size I specified. The first picture is perfect. The second one isn’t. Please help?
— Your first image size is good but your send image size is small. Replace the the larger image and it will be fine.

2. Can I add a slideshow of pictures in my gallery page? Otherwise if I can’t, how can I put several pictures on the page without it looking organized. Would like it in Rows if can’t add a slideshow.
— To add slideshow of picture in your gallery pages. You have to install plugin. Try searching for gallery and image plugins at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

3. How can I get the text codes near the footer to go away?
— Which text codes are you talking about?

[Sakin]

@danskvand: Yes after you update. Please change any value in Theme Options panel and click on save. Anything so that it clear the cache in Function set from Theme Options panel. Then refresh your browser and it will be fine.
