Hello DRH,

I just check in your slider and see that you are using Featured Post Slide in “Catch Kathmandu Pro theme”. But the image size added as featured image in those posts are small. Your featured image width is just 661px width. But the size needed is 1280px width. So, you need to edit those post and upload the larger featured image.

See the tutorial:

and whenever i try to add a line of PHP to display a featured images, it doesn’t work and breaks the layout. :\ what gives?

my website is http://interesting-facts.tk

In the “Theme Option” you have “Featured Slider” menu.
But I have another extension “Meta slider”.
I haven’t found an option to put “Meta slider” instead of “Featured Slider”.

Is it a little more understandable?
If Yes, can you help me please ?

Sorry for my english not great 🙂

Hi There!

I’m loving the Catch Kathmandu theme. I’ve done a lot of CSS customisation already, but I’ve drawn a blank on the last few things I need to do. Can you help?

My site is: http://www.castle-view-apartment.co.uk/

Here’s what I need:

I need the header menu to always be full width of the page – just like the footer menu.

I need there to be no white space between the top menu, and the slider/featured image.

I need the caption on the slider to either be wider, or responsive (so I don’t roll onto two lines).

The responsive width/text size and padding of both the header and footer menus are not playing nicely with my menu text (easier if you just take a look, you’ll see what I mean). I need to tweak the responsive break points – or the text size/padding in those @media queries so that the menu never rolls on to two lines.

Thanks!

Is it possible to move the featured post slider down? On my homepage I would like to have the welcome text before the slider if possible.

Thanks!

Hello Charles,

I am not sure about your settings. So, I suggest you check you settings.
Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Post Slider Options” and make sure you un-checked “Exclude Slider post from Homepage posts”

Hi Sachin. Thanks. Still having trouble with background solid color of arrows (stays default solid blue without hovering) on featured slider. Able to change hover color and text color of the arrows. Any ideas?

Thanks.

[greengiant]

Hi Sakin: Thanks very much.

Got almost all to work. For the arrows on the featured slider, I changed the hovering color.
1) The only part not working is the arrow and 3-dots on the featured slider are still default blue color. Is there some additional CSS for this?

2) Also if I would like to change the font color from white to black of to make the font size smaller in the headline or the footer widgets or the copyright footer, is there some CSS for this?

Thanks again!

[Matthew]

Hi Sachin-
How can I change blue color of arrows in featured slider? Also there is a blue line at bottom of featured slider, and just above the start of the footer widgets.

Any way to remove or change the color of these?

Thanks.

Hi Sakin,

I want to make the menu bar which above the featured image slider and the headline which is under the featured image slider, and the footer where show’s the copyright area with less margin.

Thank you,

Qian

@Pippylala: If you are using Catch Evolution Free Theme then you only have option to user Featured Post Slider where images are auto crop to 754px width and 400px height. It will auto crop is the images are larger then this but if the image is of exact this size or smaller then it will load the original size. So, it’s better to crop the image in this size before you upload it.

Fore more details see the theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution/

[Sakin]

Hi Sam,
I see that you are using Catch Kathmandu Free Theme.
1. Your question about moving the menu down below the logo.
— For this first, you need to disable Header Right sidebar. For this, go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Header Options” and click on “Check to Disable” in Disable Header Right Sidebar and save changes.
— Then you need to create Custom Menu from “Appearance => Menus” and then assign you menu as “Secondary Menu” from “Appearance => Menus => Manage Location”. For instructions on custom menu see this http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-creating-wordpress-custom-menus/ and http://catchthemes.com/blog/custom-menus-wordpress-themes/

2. Your featured image size in those posts added in slider is smaller then required. If you see the theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu/, where you can see the size for Featured Post Slider is Width: 1280px
and Height: 550px. Yes, cropping is done automatically if the image size is larger then this size but how can it crop the image smaller then 1280px width.

3. If you don’t want the sidebar and content in homepage, then first check in your reading setting at “Settings => Readings” and make sure you have selected “Your latest posts” and in “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage / Frontpage Settings”, make sure you have not checked in “Enable Latest Posts”.

Regards,
Sakin

@Pippylala: That will change to the post IDs that you add in “Appearance => Theme Options => Feature Post Slider => Featured Post Slider Options”. This is called Featured Post Slider.

@Kim:
1. I didn’t knew that you are using Catch Box Pro theme, in this theme you can remove the arrow and then add circle.
To add the circle you can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

/* Controllers */
#controllers {
	display: block;
	text-align:center;
}
#controllers a {
	background-color: #B7B7B7;
	display: inline-block;
	height: 12px;
	margin: 0 3px;
	overflow: hidden;
	text-indent: 999999px;
	width: 12px;
	-webkit-border-radius: 6px;
	-moz-border-radius: 6px;
	border-radius: 6px;
}
#controllers a:hover, #controllers a.active {
	background-color:#000;
}

To remove arrow from the slider, you can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

#nav-slider .nav-previous, 
#nav-slider .nav-next {
	display: none;
}

Note: But to add this, you need to have more then one post in your slider.

2. Nice

3) For this you can add the following css and change the position as per your need.

#slider-wrap .featured-text {
    bottom: 25px;
    left: 10px;
    position: absolute;
    width: 60%;
}

@Pippylala: Catch Evolution Free theme only have option to add in Featured Post Slider, which is created to highlight your posts in the slider. So, first you need to create post and add featured image. For this you can check this video http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-wordpress-postpage/ and then you need to add in your post IDS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Feature Post Slider => Featured Post Slider Options. For this you can check this video http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/

If you upgrade to pro version, then you have option to user “Featured Image Slider or Featured Post Slider or Featured Category Slider or Featured Page Slider”. To find our more information about pro version, check out http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution-pro/

Hello Kim,

1. Sorry there is no option to add bullets or circles in the slider. I will keep this option as feature request to our development team.

2. If you are using “Featured Image Slider” as the slider type in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options”. Then you will get featured image slider options, where you can upload or add image url of any size you want. Here you need to consider that our theme in responsive design with 978px width. So, here you can add height of any size but the width shouldn’t be larger then 978px. If the width is large then 978px then it will change the image display size appropriate to 978px ratio.

3) There is title and small content in the slider.

Regards,
Sakin

[Kim]

Thank you Sakin! A couple other things:

1) The code removed the arrows but I would like to know how to put bullets or circles at the bottom left or right side of within the image? Kind of like my site http://www.selectblinds.com?

2) Also, no matter what size I put the featured image the tallest I can get it to show up on the slider is 395. Ex. I tested an image thats 765×595 and it changed it to 584×300. How can I make the default slider size to 595 high? Or even better, make it so that the slider has no height limitation? I’d really like a much larger image on my home page.

3) How can I put a title over the slider?

Thanks!!
Kim

Hi Sakin,

my site is http://www.7ideas.com.ua @ catch mustang theme. I’d like to add a menu from left side of the main slider (the same way as at http://bravo-sp.com.ua/, with sub-menu drop-down). Could you help me with this?

Thanks. Yuliya

ps please notify me assoon as catch mustang will be language-ready.
ps 2 I have also seen embedded video in featured slider from competitor wp developers – are you planning do do this as well?

[Sakin]

@Serena: I check in your site and see that you have been able to change the slider image. But your slider image is too small. If you read in our theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/, the recommended size if Width: 1280px and Height: 550px. But it’s your wish to change it.
