@ambassador1103: Catch Everest uses the Featured Post Slider which mean it will take the title, excerpt and featured image from post.

I have cleared the question in this support thread. See this http://catchthemes.com/support-forum/topic/featured-post-slider-not-showing-up/

Hi Sakin,

I have the same problem. I´m not WPML user, so I have translated the website with qtranslate plugin. But the text in the featured  /pageslider is alyways shown only in one language, also after language switch.

The same with Homepage Headline.

What can be a problem? My site http://www.takacagent.com. Thanks fot answer.

Hi Sakin,

I would like just hide the excerpt, not the title in the featured post slider. How can I do that please?

Thank you

Hi! Yet again the featured slider has disappeared. (www.migrantcity.info). Last time I was told it was in conflict with WPML. Is it possible to resort this for the future?

Best regards,

HP

@TanjaCrouch: I just check in your site and the slider is working fine. But I know what are you trying to say.

When I check in the the site, your site has a huge image in Featured Homepage Content. For example http://www.tanjacrouch.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Tanja-NF-AW-810.jpg and http://www.tanjacrouch.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/DC-18-16.jpg

The concept of the slider in Catch Everest is that, it only loads the sliding script only after all the content has been loaded in the site. So, if you wait for all the images and content to load then you will see the slider working fine.

So, to avoid loading issue, just decrease the size of the images.

@cbtoolkit: Just add the title and it will replace the image hove text. Then you can hide the title by adding the following CSS in “Custom CSS” box in Theme Options panel.
#slider-wrap .featured-text { display: none; }

@alexrams: For easy solution, just upgrade to Simple Catch Pro Version and then you have Featured Image Slider, which will let you choose any image and any link or without link, title and content are all optional.

My featured post slider never came up, Sakin. I attempted to post a picture using the ‘post’ number and just the pegboard showed up, but no pic. Please help. I’ll be happy to send you my url via private means. Thanks much.

@Conay: Look at your site http://newsite.conay.co.uk . The slider is working fine.

[Sakin]

@Conay: Yes you are right, looks like plugin conflict. I have just emailed you. Please respond then I will look in details.

[Conay]

I want to add, for example, this post: http://newsite.conay.co.uk/?p=142

 

I’ve assumed that the Post ID is 142 (I hope so, because I can’t find any other number) and added it to the featured post slider – yet it fails to work.

[Sakin]

@Conay: I think you are confused about Post ID. I guess that you are adding in the Page ID instead of Post ID. Page ID will not work in Featured Post Slider. If you want Featured Page Slider or Feature Image Slider then you need to upgrade to Pro version.

For your easy solution, follow the steps below:
1. Just create new Post through “Posts => Add New” from your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Then fill in the Post Title, Content and don’t forget to add in the featured image. See this http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image
3. Remember this post ID and go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider”. Add in the post id.

If you follow this step then you will get your Featured Post running fine.

@eilpres: I just talked with my sales team and they have created account for your. Check your email and download it.

By the way then I check in your site http://206.130.117.218/~martinva/ . I found that you have not follow the step of adding featured image in the post. If if you are confused about how to add featured image see this http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image

I am currently using Catch Everest and it’s the same for me. I have the correct id but not working. Somewhat distorted in Google Chrome but not showing up at all in Safari. I just purchased Catch Everest Pro but for some reason cannot download and install and waiting to hear back from support.

 

[Conay]

I checked the post ID’s and they are both correct.

[Sakin]

@Conay: I don’t see you have added correct ID of the post. Check the post ID first and then just enter the right ID.

Check out this forum thread http://catchthemes.com/support-forum/topic/featured-post-slider-not-showing-up/

@LandUnknown: Then it fine. Just create the slider with the featured posts and then add all other post in the category and show the category in the menu through Custom menu. “Appearance => Menu”

[LandUnknown]

I use the slider to feature my top 3 posts on the homepage, but my philosophy is that any more than 3-5 posts are too much to “feature” there.  So, I’d like to have all my other posts appear on another page, where visitors may peruse a more exhaustive list if they would like.
