One of the reasons I’d be interested in upgrading is the color options. Overriding CSS for the many, many places that blue is hard coded is tedious. But since you don’t say what the color options are in the pro version, or how they are chosen, I can’t judge if they would be adequate.

Additional header options… What are they?
Additional Layout Options… What are they?
Webmaster Tools… Such as?

Featured Slider options… Can they be a mix of pages and posts or can you only chose one or the other? I suspect one or the other, but using a featured image linked to either would work around the limitation.

Can the pro theme be automatically upgraded or do we need to manually replace the theme folder with a new version?

[Sakin]

@Phil: Sorry we don’t have that option at this stage and my suggestion will be like if you are satisfied with free version then please stay in the Free Version. No need to upgrade to Pro version. But if you like and want to be part of Pro version then you are always welcome.

For Pro version features comparison, you can look at the theme instructions of pro version and see the missing one in your free version.
Catch Kathmandu Pro: http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/

There are many features additional and some of theme are as below:
1. Footer Editor Options to delete or edit the footer copyright information.
2. More Featured Slider options such as Featured Page slider and Featured Image Slider
3. More sidebars
4. More Sidebar Widgets
5. Webmaster Tools
6. Comment Options: Option to Enable/Disable comments
7. Font Family Options
8. Color Options

@altair: How did you change the image of the Slider, You have to use your post to change it. As Catch Kathmandu Free theme only have Featured Post Slider and Featured Category Slider to choose from. See the theme instructions at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu/

To remove the background color from Slider textbox, you can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

#main-slider .entry-container, 
#main-slider .entry-container:hover {
    background: none transparent;
    border: none;
}

[Sakin]

@kwest: Try adding in the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS”
#featured-post img, #main-slider img { box-shadow: none; }

[Sakin]

@greengiant: For Labeling of the Featured Slider from Blue to another color. I will give you the code to add in your “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box. You just need to send me the HTML color code that you like.

Yes Footer Widget and Footer can be changed from Color Options. You just send me your site URL after you upgrade to Pro version and then I will help you out.

[greengiant]

So to confirm, I am planning to upgrade to the Kathmandu pro version. Can I change the color of the labeling of the featured slider from blue to another color? The footer widget, and the footer can also be changed? I would like to change to specific green colors. Would this be possible or only the 20 pre-specified colors?

Thanks
Matthew

@redappleeducation: thanks for your question but you should have posted in your site URL so that I could check in live. Next time please ask question specific to your site URL.

Now, I assumed that you are using Catch Kathmandu Free theme and you can check out the theme instruction page first at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu/

1. I cannot change the graphic on the homepage?
— There are 3 elements in Homepage of Catch Kathmandu and further you can also enable latest post or static page under it.
1.1 Featured Slider:
* First, you need to create post from “Posts => Add New” and add in the Featured image in your post.
How to add Featured Image in Post?
* Open the editor of the post where you want to display image, and locate the Featured Image module in the bottom right corner under Page Attributes. Click on Choose a Featured Image.
* Then you can either upload the image from your computer or select the existing image from your media library and click on Set Featured Image. Click to view screenshot
* Then you need to go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider” and in Slider Options, select Post Slider or Category Slider.
* If you choose “Post slider” then you need to go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Post Slider Options” and simply insert the ID numbers for Posts in the boxes, one Post ID number in each box. Click to view screenshot
But if you choose “Category Slider”, then you need to go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Category Slider Options” and select the category.
* Click on Save Changes button
But if you want Featured Image Slider where you want independent image slide then you need to upgrade to Pro version. See the Catch Kathmandu Pro version theme instructions at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/

1.2 For Homepage Headline
This headline comes with default text. You have the option of changing headline and sub-headline text or disabling it through “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage Headline Options” in your WordPress Dashboard.

1.3 For Homepage Featured Content
Homepage Featured Content Options give you the ability to showcase your portfolio, photos, articles or services in Homepage. By default, this featured content is shown with default images and texts. You can either change the image and text or disable it through “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage Featured Content Options” in your WordPress Dashboard.

1.4 Enable Latest post or static page
* Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage / Frontpage Settings” in your WordPress Dashboard
* Next to “Enable Latest Post or Page?”, check the box that says “Check to Enable” and save changes.

2. is there a way that I can reduce the height of the header?
— For this, I need your site URL. But I am just generalizing that you are using default settings. You can adjust the padding as per your need and add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

#site-logo, #hgroup { padding-top: 20px; }
#hgroup-wrap { adding-bottom: 20px; }

3. Finally, how do I change font of the titles in the menus (homepage).
— You don’t have font option in Free version, you need to upgrade to pro version. You can add web-fonts css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#masthead .menu { font-family: sans-serif,Arial; }

I installed the featured post slider and it worked perfectly. One day away from the site and when I logged back in the slider has ceased to function. I tried changing to the category featured slider and that will not work either. Other than that no settings had been changed. There used to be a center row of dots to indicate the number of posts I had in (5) and that has now disappeared, replaced by arrows on the right side of the image that do not function. Help!

Dear Sakin,

I’ve searched this forum but i couldn’t find an answer.
First of all: Great theme!

In the preview pictures, i see you have an image in your main slider which covers the full width.
When i use a featured image, i still have a (blue) space on both sides of my image.
I would like my image to be the full width.
I’m using the right dimensions as suggested.

Hey Sakin…My question is a little different….

How do I keep my featured post images on the feature slider and loose the image when you click on the feature slider. The reason I’m wondering is because the post image frame is much different than the feature slider frame.

Is it possible for me to have images on the featured slider and have more control over the images in the post?

[Sakin]

Hi,

I can get the Featured Post Slider to work with my posts but I cannot get it to work with my pages. I have a Featured Image set and I enter the Post ID and it works fine for posts, but not pages.

Please help!

[Sakin]

@htenbyslide: To remove the slider background effect, you need to go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Slider Effect Options” and check “Disable Slider Background Effect”. Save it.

[Sakin]

@Viktoria: I see that you are using Catch Kathmandu Free Theme which only have option to use Featured Post Slider or Featured Category Slider. This slider is created to highlight the post. Did you check in Theme Instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu/.

1. First, you need to create post and add in the Featured image in your post.
How to add Featured Image in Post?
* Open the editor of the post where you want to display image, and locate the Featured Image module in the bottom right corner under Page Attributes. Click on Choose a Featured Image.
* Then you can either upload the image from your computer or select the existing image from your media library and click on Set Featured Image. Click to view screenshot
2. Then you need to go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider” and in Slider Options, select Post Slider or Category Slider.
3. If you choose “Post slider” then you need to go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Post Slider Options” and simply insert the ID numbers for Posts in the boxes, one Post ID number in each box. Click to view screenshot
But if you choose “Category Slider”, then you need to go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Category Slider Options” and select the category.
4. Click on Save Changes button

But if you want Featured Image Slider where you want independent image slide then you need to upgrade to Pro version. See the Catch Kathmandu Pro version theme instructions at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/

I added a post and a featured image size 1280×600
I took the URL of the post and pasted in the Featured Post Slider in Theme Options. But when i Save it doesn’t save, next time I open the Options it’s not there anymore. Obviously the slide keeps showing the demo images. How do I solve this?

[Sakin]

@pNICBsa4: Just add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#featured-post img, #main-slider img { box-shadow: none; }

[Sakin]

@dbevarly:
1. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options” and then check to “Disable Slider Background Effect” and save it. I don’t see image distorted. Maybe it’s due to the effect.
2. Yes, you can set page layout in individual page/post. This will overwrite the settings in Theme Options. Theme Options settings is for overall site and page/post is for individual page/post.
3. You don’t need to change theme for this. You can simply install WP Display Header plugin, which will add Extra header options in your page/post to add different header in particular page.

[Sakin]

@dbevarly: Sorry for the trouble. I hope I will be able to make you happy.

1. Featured Slider
You are saying that you choose Featured Image Slider and uploaded 4 images but it is not showing. So, I will mention the steps and you can check in which one is missing.
1.1. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options”. Then select “Featured Image Slider” in Select Slider Type and “Homepage / Frontpage” in Enable Slider and Save.
1.2. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Image Slider Options”. Then in Image add in Image URL and then link, title and content and Save.

2. Widgets in Sidebar
You are saying that your widgets are not displaying. When I check in your site, I see that you have selected “No Sidebar” layout. That is why it is not showing any sidebar. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Layout Options” and in “Default Layout”, you can select “Right Sidebar” and Save.

3. Header
This theme uses Custom Header and Logo. For logo you can go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Header Options” and then add in logo image URL in “Header logo url”. Then for custom header, you can go to “Appearance => Header” and upload the full width custom header image. But sorry there is no option to change header image just for one page.
