Hello Jim,

This is bit difficult as it’s responsive design. So, let’s change that only for large screen. Try adding in the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

/* For Screen size minimum 769px */
@media screen and (min-width: 769px) {
    #main-slider .featured-img {
        float: right;
        width: 68%;
    }
}

Regards,
Sakin

Sakin, sorry for not being clear. Curently the theme allow for full width (1000px) images in the featured slider. I would like to take that full width and divide it into twosections. (667px) to the right side would house images that slide. The remaining 333px on the left would be a static text box, I hope I have been more clear. Thanks, Jim

I am having a problem with my homepage jumping as the featured images in the slider change. If someone is reading the content below, it is annoying because the whole page jumps. I reduced the issue by removing most of the photos from the slider. Most of the images are 1280 x 960, a one or two are 1280 x something close to 960. How can I stop this from occurring?

My URL is

Thanks.

Since the url doesn’t show up when I add a link here for some reason. It should be

I am interested in having the featured image be only 2/3 of the full width justified right and have ing the remaining 1/3 a text box justified left.
Can this be done? will the slider still perform? Please advise.
Thank you for the support, this is a nice theme.

@shamwow: Which slider type you are using it. If you are using Featured Image Slider, then you can add in link in the “Link” box. See this screenshot of Image Slider Options http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329509357/ where you have option to add in Image URL, Link URL, Target, Title and Content as you need it.

I am not so sure what you are talking about. If you are talking different then please explain in reference with your site URL.

[shamwow]

Can you put a link into a featured image?

[Sakin]

@devnet: I see that you have added the post ID 2762, title “Manjaro Linux – My Current Distribution” in your Featured Post Slider. So, I guess you have check on “Exclude Slider post from Home page posts”. Can you go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Add Slider Options” and check your settings.

[Sakin]

@jim tobin: Simple Catch Free theme only have option to use Featured Post Slider, which is there to highlight your post and it takes the post title, excerpt content and featured image from the post IDs. So, it will link to post.

The featured that you are asking can be fulfilled by “Featured Image Slider” where you can upload independent image, title, content and links all optional. For this, you need to upgrade to Pro version. There are other nice additional features, find out at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/simple-catch-pro

Or you may use redirect plugin to redirect your post URL to homepage. So, it will not show that post.

@Sanan94: Sorry I don’t get it what you mean, there is nothing changes in version 1.7. It’s just Italian language addition.

If you are using Featured Post Slider in Catch Kathmandu Free theme, then you can see it in Theme Instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu/, that our Featured Post slider uses the image size of Width: 1280px and Height: 550px. So, if you add have added featured image larger then this size then it will crop in exact this size. But if you have added featured image smaller then this size then it will show the original image you have uploaded.

But we have Featured Image Slider in Pro version where you can upload image size of your own choice.

Hi,

Where do I modify the margins for the header and body in Catchbox Free? For example, on this site:
http://www.hayatidede.org/wptest/

How do I remove the space before and after “Mevlevi Order of America,” and between the Meta Slider and the Featured Posts in the right nav? Yes, I know I would need to do it for the various widths that allow for responsive design – I’m just not happy with the specific margins. What about the curves in the various body “modules”? I’d also like the Search box to sit to the right of menu. Can you help?

Thanks,
Jason

@Kendra: It’s mention in Theme Instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/. Just read the topic “Featured Slider”. There you have option to choose slider type as Featured Post Slider or Featured Page Slider or Featured Category Slider or Featured Image Slider. Choose the type and fill in the necessary fields.

[Sakin]

@Leonie: You can upload any image in your featured image slider. If you are having difficulty adding in the image from uploads. Then you can edit your image from Post Thumbnail editor and then copy that image URL and just paste that image url in Featured Image Slider Options.

Hi there!

I just upgraded to Catch Evolution Pro. Before that I used the featured post slider to show my images on my front page, using the normal way of posting and linking the corresponding image to the featured post slider.

Since my upgrade I only want to show images that are not included in posts, but uploaded independently. Before I used the “Post Thumbnail Editor” plug-in to determine the displayed part of the image and it worked great. Now with the featured image slider this seems not to be possible anymore. All of my pictures have definitions for the three sizes of thumbnails and for the two versions of featured slider images. But with the image slider now I can only choose one of the square thumbnails or the full size of the picture but not the nice horizontal featured slider format.

What do I have to do to display all my images in the same horizontal format with the same size as it was possible in the featured post slider?!

Thank you very much!!

My home page is the featured slider and featured content, I used the word Home” in my menu with a custom link. My blog page is “Market News”. I don’t want blog posts on the home page. But because I don’t have an actual page as my home page, what do I select under the drop down menu under static page in Reading Settings?

Hi Sakin,

I have put a calendar/events widget into my Optional Sidebar 1 on my Visit Us page. Is there a way I can centre the widget content within the Sidebar ?

Also, is there a way to change the colour of all (or individual) widget borders in the sidebars ? I’m going to see what they look like in my colour themes of ~516856 or #A16f3C.

I’ve also altered a couple of things in the main.css before I realised that it needed to be done in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS”. Does this mean I’ll lose it when I update to the new release of CK Pro ? If so can I preserve my CSS changes by copying them into “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS”.

The code I think is ;

/* =Slider
————————————————————– */

#main-slider {
background-color: #516856;
border-bottom: 3px solid #516856;
clear: both;
display: block;
position: relative;
padding: 0;
}
.featured-slider {
position: relative;
}
.featured-slider .slides {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.featured-slider .slides img {
box-shadow: none;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.featured-img a img {
display: block;
height: auto;
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 100%;
}
#main-slider .entry-container {
background-color: #A16f3c; /* Show a solid color for older browsers */
background-color: rgba(161, 111, 60, 0.6);
border: 1px solid transparent;
color: #fff;
width: 350px;
width: 35rem;
padding: 10px 25px 15px;
padding: 1rem 2.5rem 1.5rem;
position: absolute;
bottom: 50px;
bottom: 5rem;
left: 50px;
left: 5rem;
}
#main-slider .entry-container:hover {
background-color: #A16f3c; /* Show a solid color for older browsers */
background-color: rgba(161, 111, 60, 1);
border: 1px solid #516856;
color: #fff;
}

Many Thanks
Ian

Hi Sakin.

Ok, I am back asking for some help in getting the site to look like the attached image, that we talked about before. I am using Kathmandu-Pro.

I have the theme set up as a child theme and I have the “Homepage Featured Image” turned on and the “Slider” turned off.

Can you please tell me how I can get the form on top of the “Homepage Featured Image” as shown in the mockup below…??

Thanx much in advance.

Best,

–d.

Hi, I’m putting featured posts in my slider using a category, but they are showing up in a strange way.

Check it out here:

http://dividendsforall.net/

Here are the issues:

– They appear over the menu, for some reason the slider is on top of my menu

– The title of the post is formatted the same as the rest of the text, so it looks strange. There is no bolding, no period, no separation between the title and the post itself, which makes it look really bad.

Thanks!

[Sakin]

Hello Silvan,

It’s cool that you fixed the background.

Another I don’t understand. If you want to disable Featured Slider then you can disable it from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options” and in “Enable Slider”, you can select “Disable” and save changes.

Regards,
Sakin

@Janet:
1. Yes, there is about 15px margin about your css, which you can remove it by adding in the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#header-right .widget { margin-top: 0; }

2. The text below the slider, are you talking about Homepage Headline with the text “Lockhart’s Premier Rental Event Center”. For that you can change the text color from “Appearance => Theme Options => Color Options => Site Color Options” and change “Homepage Headline Color” and save changes.

3. I already gave you the css to change the contact button. You can change the color code in the following css and add it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

#homepage-message .right-section a {
    background-color: #9bc23c;
    color: #fff;
} 
#homepage-message .right-section a:hover {
    background-color: #87ae28;
    color: #fff;
}

4. To remove that white space, you can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#featured-post { border: none; margin-bottom: 0; }

5. At the bottom of the page is the blue footer where the copyright is (and the copyright text is still in white).
— For copyright background color, you can change it from “Appearance => Theme Options => Color Options => Site Color Options” and then change “Footer Background Color” and save change.
— Footer copyright text color, you can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

#site-generator { color: #1B5F7D; }
#site-generator a { color: #1B5F7D; }

Sakin, I can’t find any option to upload or embed and image but you can see the page here: chisholmtrailballroom.com

From the top down:

1. I added your recommended code to reduce the header size. It’s better but I sure wish there was some way to make it even smaller. There’s a good 1/2″ above the text and logo and close to that below the menu options. I tried the css code you recommended in #2 above but that raised the title text but not the logo, so they were no longer side by side but skewed with one partially above the other. Did not look good at all.

2. The text below the slider images is still white. I’ve changed every place where a color is specified. The only white that remains is the rollover color for the main menu. There is obviously someplace I haven’t checked but I don’t know where that is.

3. Is there any way to big lime green CONTACt button that displays in the middle of the page. I didn’t insert the css code you listed in #4 above because I wasn’t sure you knew I meant the button in the middle of the page and not the menu in the header. I was successful at changing the colors of the header menu but not the green contact button.

4. Below the footer area that displays the Homepage Featured Content Options images (there are two right now: Amenities and Packages) is another “footer” area that is simply a white bar across the screen. That footer had a Page in it but when I deleted the page (added by accident) the footer remained as an empty white bar. How can I either move the Blog Traffic widget up or eliminate that bar? I already tried moving the Blog Traffic widget from Footer Area Four to Footer Area One and it made no difference.

5. At the bottom of the page is the blue footer where the copyright is (and the copyright text is still in white).

I appreciate your help. I’m pretty overwhelmed trying to get these last items taken care of.
