@shmuelhonig: That is Featured Post Slider to highlight your post. The image you are seeing is from demo slider. So, to replace that you need to add Post IDs in Featured Slider. You can see the detail instruction on “How to Add Featured Post Slider?” at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-box/ . Looking at your comment it doesn’t look, you are using Catch Box Theme. But since you have posted in Catch Box Theme Support Forum, I am giving you instructions on the basis of that. But if you are using different theme then you can go to Theme Instructions main page http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/ and select the theme for which you want to check out the instruction.

Currently this theme only supports Posts as the Featured Slider. To add Featured Slider, follow these basic steps:
1. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider”
2. Click on Slider Options
3. Simply insert the ID numbers for posts in the respective boxes, one post ID number in each box
4. To change the slider effects and timing, go to Slider Effect Options which is just below Slider Options
5. Save your changes

Note:
* When you add the Post IDs, make sure your posts have Featured Images
* If you are unable to find post IDs, please install Catch IDs Plugin

Hi,

I cannot figure out how to replace the default images (brick wall, flower) from the homepage and replace them with a gallery of my own. Under Appearance->Theme Options->Featured Post Slider->Slider Options, if I “Disable” the “Enable Sidebar” then the images disappear. But I can’t find anywhere an option to change those images to other images. I like having the slider there, but I want my own images. What am I missing?

Thanks.

@Sheree: You can remove the slider effect from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options” and then Disable Slider Background Effect.

@cpoli: Just add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box
#slider-wrap .featured-text:hover { background-color: transparent; }

[Sakin]

@beren: You can select the Slider Type as “Image Slider” from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options”. Then you can upload the image of any size. So, first edit the height of your images and upload it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Image Slider Options”

[Sakin]

@cpoli: This is quite complicated css requested and you might need to hire developer to work for your. To move the slider text to the right you can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box

#slider-wrap .featured-text {
    height: 100%;
    right: 0;
    width: 33%;
}

Hello again, I have another question to do with the slider this time.. What I would like to do is have my book cover in the slider on the left side and the text and link to the post on the right of the book cover rather than on top of the lower part of the image as it is now. Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

@nch: Oh sorry. Catch Everest Free theme uses Featured Image for the post and slider image for the slider. For sizes see theme instruction at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest/.

But if you upgrade to Catch Everest Pro theme, you have option to choose featured image size in post/page from “Content Featured Image Options” in your edit post/page.

[Sakin]

@Drewmikita: Sorry Catch Everest Free theme only have option to use Featured Post Slider and will be linked to post. To add link to page, you need to use Featured Page Slider and to remove link or add link to custom link then you need to use Featured Image slider. For these slider choices, you need to upgrade to Catch Everest Pro theme. For more details, see the theme instruction of Pro version at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest-pro/

Hello,

Thanks so much for a great theme! Few questions:

When putting in my featured post slider is there a way to use a page URL and image instead of a post? Or is it possible to not have it link to the post?

my website is http://www.campverticalrunner.com

@Juraj: You can just add the Image Title in your Featured Image Slider Options for image alt tag and then you can hide the slider text by adding in the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#slider .featured-text { display: none; }

Good afternoon,
I have a problem with the size with image featured in the news page.
The insert with size 1140X450 px. to fit well in the main slider, but when I click on the news photo is cropped on the sides.
How I can fix it?
Thanks in advance

@Sheree: For spacing, you can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

@media screen and (min-width: 961px) {
#primary {
    padding-left: 2%;
    width: 63.64%;
}
#secondary {
    width: 29.28%;
}
}
@media screen and (max-width: 960px) {
#primary, #secondary, .contact #primary, .contact #secondary {
    width: 96%;
    padding: 0 2%;
}
}

For the Slider image, you can use “Featured Image Slider” and upload the image of your own choice. so, first you can crop the image as per your need using photo editing software like Photoshop, Photo Editor and so on. Then upload it.

@MVS: The Alt tag in the Featured Post slider image uses the Post Title. You can check the source in your site.

Hi,

I am using Catch Box Pro Theme and Featured Image Slider on my homepage.
There are 2 pictures with NO caption and NO content.
The problem is the titles for both images are default (e.g. “Featured Image-1”) and I am not able to disable/hide them.
Could you please fix it? Or could I fix it somehow?

Thanks & regards
JurajG

PS: Just for your consideration – it would be nice to have an option in Featured Image Slider section to turn on/off the title for presentation. ON = text will be used for the tooltip and also shown below the image during presentation (as it is now). OFF = text will be used only for tooltip.

Hi,
I am trying to add a logo which links to another website on the homepage (www.britannicplace.co.uk)
I have managed to add it on other pages so know its a conflict with the slider. I have also gone through and eliminated plugins as the cause for this. Ideally I wannt the logo in a prominent place, preferably in the header sidebar.

Are you able to make this work for me? The code I need to put in to add the logo is as follows:

<div id=”vf-ifa-review”><script src=”https://www.vouchedfor.co.uk/ifa_r.php”></script><div class=”vf-ifa-4215″><script type=”text/javascript”>contentLoaded(window, function(e) {vf_get_ratings(‘ NDIxNQ==’, ‘vf-ifa-4215’)});</script></div></div>

donestefano71, estoy enfrentada al mismo problema. He probado algunas de las cosas que comentan sin éxito. ¿Podrías hacer un resumen de lo que hiciste para resolver el problema de la traducción en el featured-slider. He perdido mucho tiempo intentando resolverlo

Hello,

I created a Child Theme and I want to place a Text like “News” between Featured Slider and first Post below. I have taken a look into contents.php but there are many if requests and I have to admit that I’m not that familiar with PHP. Is it possible to place a Text at that position?

thanks in advance

@sbartsch: Can you go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Featured Post Slider Options” and un-check “Exclude Slider post from Homepage posts?” and save changes.

Hi Sakin,

Thanks for the details. I have now created and designated a “Posts page” (I titled it “news & updates.” But how do I get posts to appear on that “News & Updates” posts page?

Prior to this, I have been creating posts separately – and only using them to connect with the “Featured Post Slider.”

Is there a way to get all my posts to appear on the “News and Updates” page? Or how does that function? – I guess, how does the News and Updates page pull in the posts I publish?

Any info would be greatly appreciated whenever you have a moment.
Thanks!!!

Kind regards,

SBARTSCH
