2. Click on Slider Options to select various slider options like enable slider, number of slides, transition effect, transition delay and transition length
3. Then Click on Featured Post Slider Options and Add in the Post ID’s in Featured Slider Post#1, #2, #3 respectively.

@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/

Thank you very much Sakin, is it working !

@Raphael: I will think about removing the # is there is no link in the featured image slider. But for now there is no option to remove the # in the link.

[Sakin]

@Raphael: Oh to remove that you need to build child theme and do the customization.

The best option will be to add the title and then hide the title to display in the site by adding the following CSS in “Custom CSS” box in your Theme Options panels.
#slider-wrap .featured-text { display: none; }

Im using catch box pro theme and featured image slider. As well, i dont add anything in links, i just add image without title or description. Like I said, I want to make images in this slider non-clickable, how can I do ?

 

[raph]

I dont want tu use any title, actually i dont want any alt tag. Is it possible to delete alt tag ?

[Sakin]

@Raphael: Alt tag in Catch Box Pro theme Featured Image slider is the Title. So, just change the tile in the Featured Image Slider Options under Appearance Tab in your WordPress Dashboard.

[Sakin]

@Raphael: Are you using Catch Box Pro Theme. Then simple use Featured Image Slider instead of Featured Post Slider and then don’t add anything in links. Just add Image, title and description.

[Sakin]

To all Catch Everest users, there is new version 0.1.2.2 available for download. You can just update your theme to fix this issue.

There is cache for the Featured Post Slider, so after you update in. Please change any value on Them Options panel which will manually clear the cache otherwise you have to wait 24 hours to be cleared automatically.

[Robo]

Thanks so much!! I will try later on and post back if it does not work. I assume it will work – all your other tricks always work – thanks!

@Robo:

For the Featured slide background color. add the following CSS in “Custom CSS” box in your Theme Options panel. Change the color code as per your need.
#slider { background-color: #555; border-bottom: 2px solid #ccc; }

To remove the text in the slider add the following css
#slider-wrap .featured-text { display: none; }

For menu background Color add the following css in “Custom CSS” box. But for menu you need to add a lot of css for hover and active and all. So, I suggest you not to change it.
#branding #access { background: none #585858; }

@VinciDesign.nl: WoW so many question at a time. I will try to cover all.

1. I would like to remove the search bar in the top right corner and to reduce the white space above and below the logo. (See my website http://vincidesign.nl)
— To remove the white space above and below the logo add the following css in “Custom CSS” box in Theme Options panel.
#site-logo, hgroup.with-logo { padding-top: 0; }
— To remove the search box at the header right. Just go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Header Right Section” from your WordPress Dashboard and check on “Disable Header Right Section” and save changes.

2. The slider doesn’t accept page at this movement we will try to add in future updates.

3. There is problem with the slider image link. We have already fixed it in new version and but the WordPress Theme Review Team need to make the new version live so that you all can fix it. But there is temporary patch if you need then use this http://catchthemes.com/support-forum/topic/featured-slider-image-leading-to-error-page/

4. How can I remove the date and the posted by text and on the bottom the posted in [category] text?
— You can just hide it with the css. Just add in “Custom CSS” box in your Theme Options panel
.entry-meta { display: none; }

5. How can I expand the featured image to full size
Just add the larger image as the Featured image in the post. See the Theme Instruction for Image Sizes. http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest/

@rashad.khan007: Catch Everest Theme has featured post slider so it will link to your particular post. For that you might consider building child theme and remove the link in that function.

[Sakin]

@adb096: Hello Dina, Yes this slider is featured post slider to make it easy to manage for magazines. When you add in the Post ID, it will take the featured image from the post ID and then show it in the slider. So just upload the large image, suggested size Width: 1140px and Height: 450px and make it ad featured image in the post.

Don’t worry about the small image in the frontpage for other posts. It will automatically crop it as per the need.

Sorry to be a pain – my question on changing background color on Featured Slider also applies to the Menu color too. Would love to be able to change Menu background color too.  Thanks!!
