I have a code put in for rounded widgets which look great. Now I am wondering if there is any code or option to have my featured slider, featured image and postings/pages have rounded corners.

[telexesposito]

In my functions.php file (I copied the files from the folder simple-catch to simple-catch-CHILD) I have this code that is different from yours. If I delete my code and insert your own, I have so many errors.

I’m using the following CSS to resize the columns. I am using a featured image slider. Images are sized at 840×320. In FireFox 27.0.1, for some screen sizes, the images appear slightly smaller than then box and then snap into place. The problem seems to be when the image is 740px wide. Large or smaller, it seems to work ok. It seems to also work in other browsers (IE9, Chrome 33). Suggestions?

Site: http://ipcrew.com/SHSTest
CSS Code being used.

#primary { width: 840px; }
#secondary { width: 320px; }
@media screen and (max-width: 1224px) {
#primary { width: 740px; }
#secondary { width: 254px; }
}
@media screen and (max-width: 1060px) {
#primary { width: 616px; }
#secondary { width: 254px; }
}
@media only screen
and (min-device-width : 768px)
and (max-device-width : 1024px)
and (orientation : landscape) {
#primary { width: 676px; }
#secondary { width: 254px; }
}
@media screen and (max-width: 960px) {
#primary, #secondary { width: 100%; }
}

@Nancy: If you have already change your column width to 854px then you need to increase the size of image in the sizer to 854px. This will be difficult using default image form Feature Page or Post slider. But I see that you are using Catch Evolution Pro theme then you can just user Featured Image Slider and then upload the image as per your need.

[Sakin]

@ourag: Your all 3 question simple answer will be upgrade to Catch Evolution Pro version. See the theme instruction of pro version at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution-pro/

1. You can remove Powered by :Wordpress and Theme: Catch Evolution from footer in Pro version through “Appearance => Theme Options => Footer Editor”
2. Yes, you can option to user Featured Image Slider in Pro version. Where you can upload your independent images.
3. In Pro version you can control comment for pages and posts from “Appearance => Theme Options => Comment Options”.

Is there anyway to set a height attribute so it does not move the content below up and down?

Thanks

[Sakin]

@MVS: It’s ok I will take a look at your site.
I see that you are using Featured Post Slider. This takes the post ID and get in the post featured image, post title and post excerpt text.
I see that you have added ID 58 and 1538. Your post ID 58 have Featured Image but the post http://www.looks-familiar.com/wp/wordpress/?p=1538 don’t have featured image. I see that you have insert the image in your post but haven’t assigned as Featured Image. Please assign it and it will be fine.

See the theme instruction for details about Featured Post slider http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest/

[MVS]

Hi I’m really having problem with the featured post slider.

My site

I have a pic in my topic and this code:
<a href="http://www.looks-familiar.com/wp/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/2013-05-13_Hochzeit-Andy+Steffi-Kopie.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-559" alt="SONY DSC" src="http://www.looks-familiar.com/wp/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/2013-05-13_Hochzeit-Andy+Steffi-Kopie-300x165.jpg" width="300" height="165" /></a>

This works perfectly

Now i wnted to have a second pic in the slider – the code is this
<a href="http://www.looks-familiar.com/wp/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/hallo.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1557" alt="hallo" src="http://www.looks-familiar.com/wp/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/hallo-300x102.jpg" width="300" height="165" /></a>

You see not much difference in the code…but why do I only see one of the pics in my slider?

[Trishah]

Hi Nancy,

What you were missing is that the images you want to change use a different css identifier. Try this instead:

.attachment-featured-slider.wp-post-image {
float: left;
margin: 0 15px 5px 0;
}

[Sakin]

@FictionAddiction: I see that you haven’t added Featured Image in your post that is why there is not images in your slider and respectively align issue. “Check to Disable” is for “Exclude Slider post from Home page posts:”. This will not show the post in slider in the homepage, so once the post is in the slider, it will not show again in the post list. But in your case it’s useless as you are using Static Front Page not the latest post.

[FictionAddiction]

I have 2 issues the first being the “Check to disable” does not seem to work the second is the nav < > do not aline properly. I have checked this with Chrome & Firefox on Linux as well as Firefox on Windows.

@Sadaf: It depend of the theme you are using. For Catch Everest theme you can add the following CSS to bold the font in Featured Slider.
#main-slider .entry-content { font-weight: bold; }

[Sadaf]

How to make the font Bold and stronger” in featured slider???
I used this is custom css but it did not work
“.featured-text { color: #000; }
.featured-text a.readmore { #000; }”

[Sakin]

@Chaot112: That is demo slider images. You don’t edit core theme files. As these core theme files will be reverted back when you update the theme. To add Featured Post slider see this theme instruction page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution/

[Sakin]

@Chaot112: It’s strange. Then you might need to consider upgrading to pro version and user Featured Image Slider where you can add URL as per your need. The image, text and url are manual entry.

[Chaot112]

hi!
My Site is https://thomas-dahringer.de
http://thomas-dahringer.de has a password, because
I don’t want that everyone is looking at the page now,
because i must work a few days more on my site for releasing.

My question is, why is the Featured Post Slider taking the
images from the http server on port 80 and not from the https
server on port 443?
thanks

Theme Footer has been restored as described in earlier post. I do understand.

I do not understand your message about the featured post slider. Are you suggesting I copy the code you provided and add/insert this into my existing child theme functions.php then edit this code removing the two (2) tag references to “Permalink to”? I did this and it did not work so I must not be clear about your instructions.

[Sakin]

@tkabe: I don’t get it what you mean. You don’t need to request to upgrade to pro version. You can simple purchase the theme from http://catchthemes.com/themes/catch-everest-pro/ and if you need help is installation. Then you can request in http://catchthemes.com/contact-us/

To remove the permalink to in your Featured Post Slide, just open your functions.php file in your child theme and copy the following code and edit it.

/**

[Sakin]

@jcudak: Yes pro version has option to choose Featured Image Slider where you wan upload independent image, test and links as per your need. You don’t need coding experience.

Your slider options will look like this http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329509357/ and you can follow the instructions mentioned at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/
