Sakin, thank you for your quick response!

First of all, my layout option was Full Content Display, not Excerpt Blog Display… Sorry for my mistake.

Anyway, I put “5” from “Appearance => Theme Options => Excerpt / More Tag Settings => Excerpt length(words)” It should display really short texts, but it’s still the same… Is this because I am using multibyte character?

Then, I tried the second one. Yet, each featured post slider still shows all the texts (and adding “read more” in the end!).

I put my URL here;
http://www.keyspace.info/

You’ll see the first slider is more-tag, and the second is excerpt… Could you give me any advise?

Thanx!

Hello:)

On each featured post slider, I would like to display texts only before <!–more–>tag.

I need to use Excerpt Blog Display, and now it’s showing all the texts from each post although breaking with <!–more–>tag…

Is there any way to solve this issue?

Thanx!

Hi, I am also trying to change the slider images on the front page of my new site: http://familyrhythms.ca/

I don’t actually have this sequence available: Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider

What I have off my dashboard is: Appearance => Theme Options => a list of items appears including “Header Featured Image Options” and “Content Featured Image Options”…

When I go into either of those, I don’t see the options clearly that you suggest. I did manage to add a featured image to a post and it shows up on the ‘individual counselling’ post. But I can’t seem to change the images on the homepage.

I’d like all the images on the front page to be replaced.

Please advise…

Thank you

@joaobruch: Post in your site URL. I have given you clear instruction that you need to Create Post and then add Featured Image in your post. You can check this video on hoe to add featured image in your post http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KEsCtRb-S8

Then you can setup the slider from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider”. So, can you tell me where did you set stuck in?

Hello,

Site: http://www.backpackingotc.com

As you can see, I have lost my navigation panel with all of my pages. How do I restore this? I would like it in between my header graphic and my featured sliders.

[Sakin]

@Dennis Lynge Nielsen: I see that you are using Catch Kathmandu Free theme and the images that you are seeing is the demo Featured Slider.

To change the Featured Slider image and text
1. First you need to create post and add featured image in post. As the slider takes the Featured Image, title and excerpt content of the post.
2. Then go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider” in your WordPress Dashboard
3. Under Slider Options select Slider Type as “Featured Post Slider” if you want to add in the post ID. Or you can select type as “Category Slider” if you want to show the latest post from particular category.
4. If you choose “Featured Post Slider” then under Featured Post Slider Options, simply insert the ID numbers for Posts in the boxes, one Post ID number in each box. Or if you choose “Category Slider” then under Featured Category Slider Options, select the category.
5. Then click on “Save Changes”

But in Catch Kathmandu Pro, you have independent Featured Image Slider and Page Slider as extra slider type.

Catch Kathmandu is also compatible with WPML? and Catch Kathmandu Pro?
Have you solved the problems related to:
1)picture galleries?
2)Homepage Headline Text?
3)Homepage Featured Content?
4)Exclude post from Homepage Slider posts?
These are all problems that I have found, that WPML can not translate!
thanks

@spfitzgerald: Hum… You are using Catch Kathmandu Free theme which only have option to use Featured Post Slider or Featured Category Slider, which highlight your post in your Slider. So, there is no option to remove the link. To add the image slider without the link, you need Featured Image Slider. This option is only there in Catch Kathmandu Pro theme. See details at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/

[Sakin]

@Jeff: The slider that is showing default is demo slider and I have been telling you that in Free Version, you can replace by adding Post ID in Featured Post Slider. But if you want Image Slider then you need to upgrade to pro version. I have already given you instruction. But something is not working on your side.

You can take a check out youtube video. You can skip directly to 21 minutes, where he shows how to add post with featured image and then add in the Post Slider. The only different in this video is, it has Featured Slider option under Appearance tab whereas in Catch Evolution Theme, you have at “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Slider Options”.

[bschell]

I’ve added three of my own images to the featured image slider on my homepage, but there is still the “Catch Katmandhu is a responsive WordPress theme…” banner under the images. How do I remove this?

http://www.backpackingotc.com

[Sakin]

@Jeff: Free version only have post slider and I told you that the slider script will take the “Featured Images” updated in the post. So, you have to create Post and upload the Featured Image. See this in featured image http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/ and see this screenshot http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329948788/.

So, after you create post with featured image. You can just add that post ID in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Slider Options”.

But if you want Image Slider where you just upload the image then you need to upgrade to Pro version and use Featured Image Slider. See the details at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution-pro/

[Jeff]

Thank you for the quick note…
I’ve already found those possibilities.
All I want to do is to keep the ‘Featured post Slider’ in my ‘Home’ page, exactly like in the demo… and not on any other page. Which makes it simple because it already exists!!
The problem being : how do I edit the photos to be displayed on this Front Page slider??
I haven’t found any actions (Click & Drag / Add a media…) to add new photos (and delete those in the example, the temple and the flower)
thanks

[Sakin]

@Jeff: Did you check in the Topic “How to Add Featured Post Slider?” in Theme Instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution/.

1. First you need to create Post and add in Featured Image in your Post.
2. Then you can add that post ID in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Slider Options”.
See the screenshot on how to add in Post id http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329984427/

@katyaY: I see that you are using Catch Everest Free theme. So, please check in theme instructions page http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest/ for more details

1. Slider: Catch Everest Free theme only have option to use Featured Post Slider to highlight your post. So, first you need to create Post from “Add New => Posts” and in your post, you need to add in Featured Image as this image will be used as image for slider. Then you can go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Slider Options” and add in your post ID. See the detail instruction at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest/

2. Homepage Featured Content Options: The 3 boxed and images. You can add link, upload images, title and text from “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage Featured Content Options”.

3. Background: I see that you have added custom background from “Appearance => Background”

If you want more features then you can opt for Catch Everest Pro theme. See the details about additional features and theme instructions of pro version at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest-pro/

[Sakin]

@MVS: You can add in “Code to display on Footer”.

Sorry Featured Post slider is created to Highlight our post. So, there is no option to hide. If needed you can update to Catch Everest Pro and use Featured Image Slider, where you can upload independent image as per you need and no need to link. As like, title and content are optional.

[MVS]

Ok thank you

1.Do I put the js-code you wrote, in the “Code to display on Header” or the “Code to display on Footer” of the “Webmaster-Tools”

I want to keep the pictures in the slider – but I don’t want the posts visible, in which I set a pic as featured content for the slider.
Is this possible?

[Sakin]

@Yusra_Urooj: Can you post in your site URL? If you are using Catch Everest Free theme then you should be able to enable it from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Slider Options => Enable Slider”. Also make sure that you have added Post ID in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Featured Post Slider Options”.

Can you check these settings and if this doesn’t work for you then send me your site URL.

[Sakin]

@MVS:
1. For your menu on Samsung. Can you try adding in the following JavaScipt code in “Appearance => Theme Options => Webmaster Tools => Header and Footer Codes => Code to display on Footer” box.

<script type="text/javascript">
// Open menu on first tap on touch devices.
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
	jQuery(".menu-item").has("ul").children("a").attr("aria-haspopup", "true");
});
</script>

2. I don’t understand you question here. Do you mean to exclude your slider post from homepage? If yes, then go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Featured Post Slider Options” and click on “Exclude Slider post from Homepage posts” and save changes.

[Sakin]

@drshento: You are using Catch Everest Free version, where you have only one option to use in Slider. That is only Featured Post Slider, which is created to highlight your post in the slider. So, it will be liked to the post. The only option to remove that link will be to build child theme and remove the permalink.
But if you upgrade to Catch Everest Pro version, you will get “Featured Image Slider”, where you can upload the image and leave the link empty or to the desire URL. See this screenshot of Pro version http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329509357/ and also check out the theme instruction page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest-pro/

I don’t understand your second question and also your link is not opening.
