@malipl: Are you using Catch Kathmandu Free Theme. Did you check in Theme Instruction page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu/. 1. Is your Featured Slider and 2. Is your Homepage Featured Content
1. Featured Slider:
Catch Kathmandu Free theme only have option to use either Post Slider or Category Slider. Both of these are created to highlight your post. So, these slider takes Post Featured Images, Title and Excerpt Content.
1.1. First create post from “Posts => Add New” and then add “Featured Image” in the post. In your post editor you will see 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
1.2. Then Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider”. Then in Slider Options, you can select slider type as either “Post Slider” or “Category Slider”. If you select Post slider then you need to add in the post ID in “Featured Post Slider Options” and if you select Category slider then you need to select the category.
2. Homepage Featured Content
You can go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage Featured Content Options”. Then add in the image url, title, content and link as per your need. Then click on Save Changes.
@VibeEnglish: Please don’t edit style.css directly. You can add in extra style either in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box or by building child theme.
Free theme only have Post slider and category slier option to highlight you post. Or Image Slider you need to upgrade to pro version. But you can upload your own image in Post and Category Slider. The only different is that these images are pulled from your post Featured Image.
1. First you need to create post from “Posts => Add New” and then add Featured Image. See this screenshot http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798331806476/
2. Then either you can select Post Slider and add in your post ID or you can select category slider and select category. See the detail theme instructions at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu/
@Stephan: If you don’t want link in your slider image, then you can use Featured Image Slider and don’t add link.
Sorry there is no option to use same design as of homepage.
I am using “Post Thumbnail editor” plugin to get choice of thumbnails rather than the default middle of image. This works brilliantly in most places (like post listing being square subsets of the featured image). I would expect that the thumbnail chosen for the 976×313 would appear in the featured post slider.

The featured post slider is choosing its own thumbnails it seems as some images are getting letterbox edges on the left and right. Which thumbnails are being chosen, and how do I get more control over them?
Theme: Simple Catch
@HarveyLo: When I check in your site. I see only one valid Post ID in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Featured Post Slider Options”. You need to add in individual post id like this http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329984427/
Also when you add in the post ID, make sure those post have Featured Image. See the theme instruction for adding featured image in your post http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution/ and screenshot http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798331806476/
@Nate: Something is not working in your site. I will send you email and you can add details there.
When I check in your site homepage, I see you have featured image only in the following post.
ASE A6 “ELECTRICAL” INJECTOR WIRING DIAGRAM – Post ID 170
ASE A6 “ELECTRICAL” VOLTAGE DROP PART 3 – Post ID 128
ASE A6 “ELECTRICAL” VOLTAGE DROP PART 2 – Post ID 126
Can you try adding in these ID in your Featured Post Slider.
The featured slider on my site isn’t working properly. All I see is the text and it overlaps on the navigation bar at the header. I disabled pretty much all of the plugins and it stills does that. Any help is appreciated.

Is there a way to position the featured post slider in the footer?
@mcevolution: Sorry I am bit confused as when I check in your site I see that you are using Featured Image Slider and talking about Post Slider. So when you add in the featured image slider why do you need to exclude the post from homepage.
Hello,
I purchased WPML (3.1.5b2) and Kathmandu Catch Pro (2.9) for the site http://www.pianedienea.it/home/
There is a problem with the ‘Featured Posts Slider’.
I have created the post 84 and 91 in Italian, the relevant post in English (using WPML) are 88 and 96.
I’m trying to create the slider images on the home page but the posts are not to be published (in the home). I selected “Exclude from Homepage Slider post posts? YES “, but if I insert in:
Featured Posts Slider # 1 84
Featured Posts Slider # 2 91
then http://www.pianedienea.it/home/ ok (there are not posts on the home)
but in http://www.pianedienea.it/home/en/ I see post and images on the home page!
If I insert
Featured Posts Slider # 1 88
Featured Posts Slider # 2 96
Then http://www.pianedienea.it/home/en/ ok (there are not posts on the home)
but in http://www.pianedienea.it/home/ I see post and images on the home page!
How can I fix the problem?
Thanks Ps this support request has been sent to both WPML and both Catck Themes, quallcuno hoping that will solve my problem as soon as possible.

… you never emailed back and it’s getting late in Georgia. I hears my post. Thanks!
I removed the Page Slider, and when I did the new page I created [ Peachy Home] was hiding behind it.
It appears that whatever Page is moved to the top on the Menu Nav area, it will not show because of the built in homepage for the slider.
Also, my Featured Image Slider is not loading up the pictures after I followed the instructions. What should I do?
@Ena: You can add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box to remove the Excerpt text from your slider. Now it will just show the title.
#slider-wrap .featured-text .sep,
#slider-wrap .featured-text .slider-excerpt {
display: none;
}
@Nate: Did you add in Featured Images in those post.
How to add Featured Image in Posts:
1. Open the editor of the post/page where you want to display image, and locate the Featured Image module in the bottom right corner under Page Attributes. Click Choose a Featured Image.
2. Then you can either upload the image from your computer or select the existing image from your media library.
3. Then you can click on “Set Featured Image”. See the screenshot http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329948788/
If you are having trouble with Featured Post Slider, then you can use Featured Image Slider. Read the theme instruction at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/simple-catch-pro/
If you still have problem then do let me know it.
I had the free version of simple catch, and the post sliders where working fine. Then one day they stopped, so I upgraded to the pro version and they still do not work. I have a featured image in the post from the bottom right corner,I have the post ID number in the post ID box under featured slider. The only thing that shows up is the dots on the bottom on the header if I do more then one post, but no image.
I been trying for hours with no success, I know I’m missing something but what?
Thanks

Is it a must to change page name to something other than Home?
When I create a home page, I would like the Featured Image slider to only show?
If I can only have one homepage that is fixated with the featured slider, how can I remove the search field below it that says Nothing Found?
Also, how can I edit the home page catch box has locked with with other content?
How do you change the home page? Is seems fixated by a link whereas my featured image is in the slider and my post image– which are the same is below the featured image slider. How can I have a home page showing only the featured images slider plus additional content?
If I disable the slider post from the home page under theme options, my home page will show the featured images and below it a search box that always states Nothing Found.
If I choose to have just a static front page, I don’t have the option to select the Home page. The only thing that appears is my blog post page with the image.
@Vesa: I see that you haven’t added “Featured Image” in your slider post. So, just edit your posts and locate the Featured Image module in the bottom right corner under Page Attributes. Click Choose a Featured Image. Then you can upload or choose image from the Media Library and then finally click on Set Featured Image

Hi,
For some reason my slider images are not working. I have created post and added images in “Featured post slider option”. The texts of posts are working but the actually images are not there in homepage. I have tried several days everything but don’t find any reason for the problem. (I have also studied your comments to other questions). I wonder if I have wrong settings in Kathmandu or is there some error in my windows 8 or in my computer settings?

Sorry, I accidentally posted this in the free themes, I have pro
Hey everyone,
We have an e-store that we are adding to our website. I believe it is technically an external link. I want to get it as a menu option on the primary menu.
The site is http://www.verticalrunnerbreckenridge.com
and the online shop is http://www.store.verticalrunnereckenridge.com
My options on the primary menu are to add:
Pages
Posts
Groups
Teams
How do I make that tab in the menu go directly to the store.verticalrunnerbreckenridge.com page?
Thanks so much! Also, can you recommend a good slider for products? We would like to have an image slider on the bottom of the page with some featured products on it. Want to get something quality! Thanks so much!
