If you guys are find problem to find the post ID then you can install this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/catch-ids/ or click here to watch this video to get the post ID without plugin.

You need to add this post ID just as 1 not the name. For more details I think this video about our another free theme simple catch which also have similar post slider. See this video

@fabianfiedler: Thanks for your compliment.

For your your first question. It’s bit complicated logic. The Featured Slider needs to have large image but in the post we have small space and also we need to think about the site loading. That is why we auto crop the image. So, the best option will be to exclude the post in homepage for which you have added in slider. You can exclude post in slider from homepage through “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Featured Post Slider Options”. Just check “Exclude Slider post from Homepage posts” and save it.

For your second question about the caption. When you upload the image in your post just add in the caption. May be this tutorial will help you http://wpmu.org/how-to-add-a-caption-to-wordpress-images/

@wendyw627: You don’t need to copy that code. That was only when there was not theme update. Now you can just update your theme to latest version http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/catch-everest and it will work fine.

Hi, I’ve messed up the codes, and copy the entire code from the given page as above.

http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/catch-everest/0.1.2.2/inc/catcheverest-functions.php

 

But I am still getting the error message

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’ in D:\Hosting\10697012\html\wp-content\themes\catch-everest\inc\catcheverest-functions.php on line 913

 

How do I fix this?

 

Thank you!

Hi I am having this same problem and have repeatedly tried.  I have copied and pasted shortlink and saved and then disapears.  Also have installed the catch id plugin but not sure how to use this.  Any help would be appreciated

[silvia83]

thanks a lot!!

[Atticus]

PS I don’t know what a Post IDs is is it the name of the post? Why is there an edit button and an entry field in this step. If you could give very clear instruction about what is to be done in this last step of the feature slider it would be greatly appreciated because I have tried I even started watching the video you recommended but its an hour long which is a bit too long

Thanks

@marko2028: Maybe this video will help you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oiov0L4blIw

Hi Sakin,

I read it and I still can’t get it to work.  All I want to do is add in my pictures in the slider. I first go to theme options under  homepage settings enable latest posts or page. Then choose my category which I created and named it featured slide.

Next go to the featured post slider options for featured slider post #1 I click edit, I then create a new post name it Post#1, click the category featured slide, then I figured the correct thing to do is choose featured image and upload my image. I hit update, and nothing is working. Am I missing a few steps? Does the format have to be something specific  am I uploading the image to the correct area? Please help?

In theme options– then to homepage options—homepage featured content option– then I just uploaded the pictures I wanted, put in a title and left the description blank.

@CFarone: If you just want the slider and Featured Content. Then go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage / Frontpage Settings”, uncheck “Enable Latest Posts or Page?”

[Sakin]

@Cryptit: We have featured image slider in all our paid version of theme. In recent update, we are adding in option to choose from “Featured Post Slider”, “Featured Page Slider”, “Featured Category Slider” and “Featured Image Slider”. We will have this option in Catch Everest Pro version.

@silvia83: It’s fine you have add pages for your product. Only for the Featured slider you need to add in the post. If you are talking about this then sorry you need to create extra post for this.

But there is one option, if you don’t want the slider to link to post then want it to link to page. Then you might consider using redirect plugin to redirect your post to page. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/
