Hi,
The default featured image size is 1140×450, I want to change this to 1140×200.
When I add the images i get a space below just before the Headline.
Can I remove this?

Thanks

Mark

Hello Janyce,

1. The Road Image is there from “Appearance => Theme Options => Header Featured Image Options”. You can change or remove it from there.

2. The tigers image is from Featured Slider. I see that you are using Adventurous Free there, where you can select the slider type as “Post Slider” or “Category Slider”. But of these slider is created to highlight your post in Slider.
— 2.1: If you want to disable this slider then simply go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options”, check Disable in “Enable Slider” option and save changes.
— 2.2: If you want to change the slider image, then there are two option
——- 2.2.1. Post Slider: For Post slider check out this video series http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/ and also check out theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions
/adventurous/
——- 2.2.2. Category Slider: For category slider, first you need to create post and add in featured image. See this video on how to add featured image in your post http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-wordpress-postpage/ and then go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options”, check “Category Slider” in Select Slider Type and then you can select the category from where you want to highlight the post at “Featured Category Slider Options” and save changes.

Sakin

Just so I’m clear, I’m talking about the Featured Content area and not the Featured Slider (which I found has the option for dynamic content)

Hi Tom,

1. For navigation, we user Custom Menu: http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-creating-wordpress-custom-menus/
2. For Slider, use Featured Post Slider: http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/
3. For Promotion Headlines below slider: Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Promotion Headline Options” and add as per your need.
4. Featured Content: Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Content” and add as per your need
5. Then to remove the latest post from the homepage. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage/Frontpage Settings” and then check “Disable Latest Posts” and save changes.

For more see the theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/adventurous/

@drlapco: Thanks. I see that you have use Simple Catch Free theme and have customized it a lot. You have also removed our footer theme information Theme: Simple Catch from your footer. This is not allowed. You need to attribute our free themes as this is only attribution we get for providing free theme and free support. I hope you understand this and add back theme information.

So, I will not be able to debug it due to customization in theme. When I check in our server, the slider is working fine. So, you need to check in your changes. Also you are using Simple Catch 2.7.1 and our latest version is 2.7.3. For instruction on changing Featured Post Slider, see this http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/ and http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/simple-catch/

@icyplains: Yes, this option is there in all our Premium and Pro version where you can use “Featured Category Slider”. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options” and then in Select Slider Type, you need to check “Category Slider” and save changes. Then you can select the categories to show in from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Category Slider Options”.

@wilbyhilbly: Sorry I don’t get it what you mean. Are you able to add in Featured Post Slider as instructed in http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-wordpress-postpage/ and http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution/.

Can you post your site URL and let me know which you are trying to replace.

[wilbyhilbly]

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I have followed your instructions and it has not worked, The post has come up on the front page together with the “featured image” picture as a photo underneath the slider.

I must have done something wrong if the instructions were correct, but I have no idea what.

Can you help please.

Is there a way to have dynamic Featured Content that pulls using a category like the Featured Slider does instead of having to put the page links in?

[Sakin]

@wilbyhilbly: Ok so you are using Catch Evolution Free theme and the image that is changing is called Featured Slider and you are looking at demo slider. In this Free theme, you only have option to use “Featured Post Slider”, which is there to highlight your post in the slider.

1. First you need to create post and add featured image on your post. As the slider take the Featured Image, title and excerpt content of the post. See this tutorial on how to add featured image at http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-wordpress-postpage/
2. Then you need to add in Post ID in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Featured Post Slier Options. See this tutorial on how to add Featured Post Slider at http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/

You can check out Theme Instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution/

Note: In Catch Evolution Pro you have option to user “Featured Image Slider or Featured Page Slider or Featured Post Slider or Featured Category Slider. Also there are lot of other additional features. Read here at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution-pro/

Sorry, Sakin, I shouldn’t have reported two problems, but can’t figure out how to report it separately. Anyway, when I got the permalink 404, I reset everything back to defaults – just like you suggested – and have double checked that. Still have the continue reading… problem though.

(as an aside, Theme Options->Featured Post Slider->Click Here To Edit gives 404 also. Doesn’t build the path correctly. Tries to use …nsapp.com/wp-admin… when it is actually …nsapp.com/blog/wp-admin…)

@Michael: Change the color code in the following css and then add it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
.featured-slider .slides { background-color: #fafafa; }

[Sakin]

@Ruby: Thank for reporting issue in Featured Content Healing issue. We have just got that info also from @Jessica and we are working on Fixed in both Adventurous Free and Pro version. We will fixed this as soon as possible. Please wait for version 1.1

There is no option to change the color of slider controllers colors. For this you need to add Custom CSS. So, change the color code in the following css as per your need and then add it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

/* For Default */
#controllers a { background-color: #fff; }
/* For Hover and Active */
#controllers a:hover, #controllers a.active { background-color: #7c9b30; }

Hi,

im using your Adventurous Pro Theme and facing two issues i cant solve.

First is the Featured Content area. In the settings i can put in a ”
Featured Content Headline Text” and a “Featured Content Subheadline Text”. The “Featured Content Headline Text” is displayed well but, if i fill out the “Featured Content Subheadline Text” it displayed the “Featured Content Headline Text” instead of it. Hope this is clear 🙂 If not here is a a screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/oZF4J3Y5

The second issue is at the Featured Content Slider. I cant switch the slider botton colors from the color setting http://screencast.com/t/kMIYZbkYKKd Any idea where i can change it?

Hope someone can help me out.

Thanks,
Benni

@Djapeto: If you are using Catch Kathmandu Free theme then you only have option to use either “Featured Post Slider” or “Feature Category Slider” both are there to highlight your posts. The text will be from the Post Title and Post Excerpt Content. So, when you click on image or title, it will link to the post assigned.

You can see it in our Theme Instruction page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu/ where you can read “Featured Post” section for more details.

Also you can check out tutorial about “Featured Post Slider” at http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/

But if you are using Catch Kathmandu Pro version then you have extra options to use “Image Slider” or “Page Slider”. So, in pro version you have total 4 types of slider. Which you can see at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/

Also you can check out tutorial about “Featured Image Slider” at http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/

@Michael: You can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#featured-post img, #main-slider img { box-shadow: none; }

[Michael]

Can you please tell me how to reduce the spacing between the Homepage Headline and the featured slider?

Also, can you tell me if there is a way to style the R sidebar (css)? I want to add text, but I want to be able to change the font/size/colors/border.

Thanks!

@Farmaciola: For slider image, you can add css like below:

.featured-slider .slides img {

}

Hey there,

I’m working on a new site using Catch Everest Pro and customizing some little things. But I’ve seen that the Featured Slider’s images have the same CSS class than featured Content images. I would like it to be little diferent.

As you can see on the site ( http://www.farma-ceutics.com/Developer ) on front page there are some featured content with pretty border-radius and little :hover effects. The thing is to change (at least) the style of Slider images without changing nothing on others classes.

Thanks!
