Hi, I am using Catch Everest and I created Featured slider like you advised using Post ID. But when I click on one featured image slider it goes to an Uncategorized Post and it looks like something is missing there. I have a presentations site,Can I take out these useless info below? Can I put a link to a Page on interest on the Featured Slider instead? Are there any php. instructions I could use ?

My site is set up my site so that Users are able to submit (upload) their own
articles (posts). These posts can include linked pictures.
Then I get an email notifying me of the pending post and I review and publish it. Then the post appears on the front-end slider as a featured post.
The problem I have is that when a User submits their post and it includes a linked pictures. The image to is not automatically the “Featured Image.”
I’ve not been able to find a code that will do what I want with Linked Images. The below code I found is cut/paste into the functions.php file. I prefer a plugin, but code works too. This code works if the images are already in my “Media Library” and then inserted into the post.
=======================================================================================
function auto_set_featured() {
global $post;
$has_thumb = has_post_thumbnail($post->ID);
if (!$has_thumb) {
$attached_image = get_children( “post_parent=$post->ID&post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image&numberposts=1” );
if ($attached_image) {
foreach ($attached_image as $attachment_id => $attachment) {
set_post_thumbnail($post->ID, $attachment_id);
}
}
}
}
add_action(‘the_post’, ‘auto_set_featured’);
add_action(‘save_post’, ‘auto_set_featured’);
add_action(‘draft_to_publish’, ‘auto_set_featured’);
add_action(‘new_to_publish’, ‘auto_set_featured’);
add_action(‘pending_to_publish’, ‘auto_set_featured’);
add_action(‘future_to_publish’, ‘auto_set_featured’);

@ashrafashraf: try this
#slider-wrap .featured-text { font-size: 16px; }
Hey Sakin,
I am having some trouble with getting my slider picture to respond in Chrome. It works perfectly in Safari and Firefox but it doesn’t seem to want to adjust in Chrome?
The pictures are all formatted correctly (1140×450) and they are all “Featured”
Can you think of anything else?
Best,
S.
Hello Perriard,
The image URL you have send me at very large and will not look good in your slider. It will be better if you have image width 1280px and height any size you like.
It should work fine. Let me show you detail in screenshots. First go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider” and in Select slider type select “Featured Image Slider”
Then go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Image Slider Options” and click on Upload in image. See this screenshot showing this action http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798331985501/. After you upload the image you will see Image Box Like this http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798331986216/, where you have select the Image URl and then click in “Insert into Post”. Then save change.
If this doesn’t work for you then you can directly paste your image URL in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Image Slider Options” and in Image paste the url and then try adding title as well. I suspect there issue with the title.
Also I will send you personal email to work with you on your site.
Regards,
Sakin
Hello Sakin,
thanks for your response. Actually I did already do that. And first I ckicked on the buttom to get my image in my bibliotheque media. As it didn’t worked, then I copied the URL of each picture that I bought on shutterstock :

http://concertation.ch/ipromed/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/05/shutterstock_1002546201-e1400139291153.jpg
but this also didn’t work. The photo of the india budha went away because I have choosen “slider diapo with featured image” instead of “featured page”; and I only have 2 or 3 blue points instead of my pictures.
The only way to get back the beautiful pictures of the origin slide is to click “featured page” in the options of my diaporama. As soon as I select another choice the pictures disapear.
Sorry to matter you with this, but I have tried during the whole week already. I thought this problem was due to the first version of Katmandu and thus I bought on monday the “pro” version, but I still have the same problem.
Hello Steve,
I see that you are using Catch Kathmandu Free version and in this version you only have option to user “Featured Post Slider” or “Featured Category Slider” to change change the slider image to post featured image.
You can check our theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu/ and read the title “Featured Slider” and “How to add Featured Image in Post/Page?” and you will get it how to change the header slier image.
Regards,
Sakin
@ABEX: Sorry there is no option to add Different Featured Slider in different page. You can add the same slider in all pages.
You might want to look for plugin at http://wordpress.org/plugins/ and search for page slider plugin to add in.
@MikeGilbert: It’s strange and the slider is working fine in our server. Can you check in your settings at “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider”. I will also email you personally in case you need me to check in your server.
Hello,
Please I would like to remove the featured image from the top of this post. so that it only shows in the slider and not the post. please help

@dfjama:
1. You can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#site-generator { background-color: #000; }
2. You can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box to hide the slider text.
#main-slider .entry-container { display: none; }
Note: I see that you have replaces the images inside ‘catch-kathmandu’ core theme directory. You should not edit any core theme files as these changes will be reverted back to original when you update or upgrade your theme. To change the images in the Slider in Catch Kathmandu Free theme, you need to create post from “Add New => Posts” and add featured image in your post. Then you need to go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Post Slider Options” and add in the post ID. You will be able to see the post ID in your all “Posts” section.
Fore more check our theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu/ and check in “How to add Featured Image in Post/Page?” and “Featured Slider” section.
3. Which text you want to justify. In web justify text is not so common and we let it align left.
@Roberto: Which slider you are using? If you are using Image Slider then you need to manually resize the image as per you need with width 1140px and height can be any as per your need. But if you use Page Slider or Post Slider or Category Slider, then it will take the featured image of size 1140px width and 450px height. But if you upload featured image size is less then this size then it will show you the your original image.
Note: If you have just changed your Theme then you need to regenerate image thumbnail for Posts published prior to activating this Theme. You can simply install Regenerate Thumbnails Plugin. Then Regenerate Thumbnails through “Tools => Regen. Thumbnails” in your WordPress Dashboard.
@Perriard: I don’t get it what you mean. Are you using Featured Image Slider in Catch Kathmandu Pro theme. Then you are not supposed to add the ID number of the image. But you are supposed to add the Image URL.
Hi,
I have three issues here at http://www.media-dynamix.co.za with Catch-Kathmandu theme:
1. I want to change the color of the blue banner in the footer from blue (1b5f7d) to black (#000000).
2. How can I get rid off the blue banner with the text in the bottom right of featured image sliders.
3. I want to justify the text, I don’t see formatting tool, top of the text field in the page area.
Many thanks…..
Hi, I’m using the Catch Kathmandu Pro theme and have a question about the Featured Post/image/page slider.
When changing Featured Image Slider options, I can change the images and add a content and url for the home page.
Now I want as well to have on other pages the featured slider option, but than with a different image and content on it. How can I realize this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Alexander
@ADINA NOVAC: Oh so you are trying to change the image in Features Slider. In Catch Everest Free theme, you only have option to user “Featured Post Slider” that is why you must be confused. For this first, you need to create Post from “Posts => Add New” and add in in Featured image in your post, see this screenshot on how to add featured image http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798331806476/. Then you need to go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Featured Post Slider Options” and add in your post id like http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329984427/. You can see all your post ID in “Posts” columns in your WordPress Dashboard.
I will also email you and reply me in-case if you are still confused.
@zhang0723: Thanks for your appreciation.
1. To change the background color of Homepage Headline Text and subheadline Headline. You can change the color code as per your need and add it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#homepage-message {
background-color: #21759B;
border-color: #1B5F7D;
}
2. How to disable the content showing up on my homepage photo? I use post as homepage photos. And I don’t want people see the content of those posts before clicking in.
— Are you talking about Featured Post slider. Then you can hide the text in the Featured Post slider by adding in the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#main-slider .entry-container { display: none; }
3. You can change the color code as per your need and add it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#main-slider #slider-nav a { background-color: #21759b; }
@Roy: Did you check in our Theme Instruction page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution-pro/
1. After you activate “Catch Evolution Pro” theme, The Featured Slider will appear in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider”. See this screenshot http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798331985501/
2. You need go “Appearance => Theme Options => FavIcon Options”. Then in “Fav Icon URL:” Either add in your favicon image URL or Click on Upload. When you click on upload, you need to browse the image and then after it’s uploaded you need to click on “Insert Into Post”.
3. Which css what you add in Edit CSS, it depends. But yes Custom CSS in Theme Options panel in high priority then Edit css.
@dfjama: Sorry I don’t get it which blue image your are talking about. Are you talking about the Featured Slider. If you are talking about Featured Slider then you can check this theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu/.
You will see default slider in the Catch Kathmandu Free Theme. So you can replace that with either Featured Post Slider or Featured Category Slider to highlight your post.
1. First you need to create post and add in Featured Image in your post. As this post image, title and excerpt content in used in slider.
2. Then you need to go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Post Slider” and add in your Post ID, which will replace your default demo slider images.
Any reason why qtranslate support isn’t built into Catch Kathmandu? We built an entire website using Catch Kathmandu (cangrejaltours.com), but as you can see, featured slider and content links and text don’t work. 🙁
