Couple of questions about the text boxes on the featured slider?

How can I change the font sizes for the header text to be one size and the post text another?

Can I set a fixed width for the text boxes?

Is it possible to remove the shading on the text boxes?

Can I set the position of where the text boxes are displayed on the slider?

And finally is it possible to position the next/previous pips at the bottom of the image to the right?

Many thanks.

Hi there!
It seems as we have similar problems.
We’ve installed the Everest-Theme today and have changed several issues on our page.
To let the Slider work, we’ve created posts instead of sites. Everything works –
BUT NOT THE SLIDER! Eventhough we’ve added the post-IDs into the ‘Featured Post Slider Options’ – it just shows the first out of four post-Sliders. Even clicking on the arrows does not work.
HELP!
Thanks a million in advance!

You can just add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#slider-wrap .featured-text {
visibility: hidden;
}

Hi Sakin, I am currently working on my sliders and the above CSS has been very helpful, thanks for that. I posted my first slider, 644×320, it shows perfectly fine on an iPad but not on my 11″ screen, i.e. the picture is not wide enough. Are the sliders supposed to be responsive? What can I do to get the pictures to work on any screen size?
My site is cinnamonearth.com.

Many thanks!
Jackie

@astra202: Yes, first you need to create post with featured image. See this on how to add Featured image http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329948788/

Then you need to add the post ID in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider”. See this screenshot http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329984427/

For free theme you only have option to use post slider but if you are in pro then you have more slider option like independent image slider, page slider, post slider and category slider to choose from.

Also check our theme instructions page.

Hey Sakin,

I am using the Free Catch Everest theme and I am following all the instructions possible to change the Everest slider picture with my own picture but does not work. I have post with Featured Image and I am trying to add in the Featured Post Slider but it does not get added or something, it is not working. Is there a better way to change the slider picture?

Thanks
Astra

Hi Sakin
I build child theme. Configuration are little changed but works. I test first all on my local computer.
Beside created style.css, I copied content.php to folder simple-catch-pro-child and changed what you suggest me. I also copied function.php to same folder and changed
/* We’ll be using post thumbnails for custom features images on posts under blog category.
*/
set_post_thumbnail_size( 170, 170 );

// Add Simple Catch Pro’s custom image sizes
add_image_size( ‘featured’, 170, 170, true); // uses on homepage featured image
add_image_size( ‘slider’, 976, 313, true); // uses on Featured Slider on Homepage Header

Pictures are really smaller but I can`t resize frame about pictures.

@ozbods2: I see that you are using Post Slider in Catch Evolution Free Theme. You have added 2 posts. But in those post you haven’t added “Featured Image”. So, please add featured image in your post startherap-ease.co.uk/newsite/test/ and startherap-ease.co.uk/newsite/test2/ and it will work fine. So, after you upload the image in those post you need to set one image as “Featured Image”. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329948788/

@Kenneth: I see all your slider post have 3 lines of text. Which is fine and no need to change it. But look at the featured images of those posts have difference sizes.

Your 1st and 3rd posts featured image is fine with 644×320. Bur your 2nd and 4th is smaller with 600×320. So, it is showing issue. So, change the featured image of 2nd and 4th and it will be fine.

Hi,
The content in my featured slider seems to constantly shift as it transitions from one post to the next. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Do I need to use only a certain character limit for excerpts?

Hi,

I’m loving this powerful theme.
Is there a way to hide parts of the theme options from some users?
I have tried a couple different user permission plugins but it seems like it is kind of all or nothing. I can add access to the Theme Options but it grants access to all the options.

I would like to grant access to ‘Homepage Setting’ and ‘Featured Slider’ but not the rest.

I am using a child theme. Thanks for any help you can provide.

[Sakin]

@mscserginho: There is no option to add the most popular posts automatically to the slider and recent post in the homepage featured content. For this you need to code new function in your child theme. If you know the technical then you can add it otherwise you can hire a customizer. You can ask for quote at http://catchthemes.com/hire-customizer/

You can add your recent post in your homepage by going to “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage/Frontpage Settings” and check on “Enable Latest Posts”.

You will not loose your setting after purchasing pro theme. If you need help in upgrading to pro theme then we have that service for free.

hey i’m back again, i wanna show in the slider the Most popular posts automatically, its possible?
and in the Homepage Featured Content i wanna show the recent posts (in the same format, thumbnail and post title)
can someone help?
thanks for the support

another question, if I purchase the cacth pro, I will lose my settings?

Thank you, that worked for almost everything again.

I hate to be a pain but the three featured posts header is still black and there is still a white space below the slider.

[Sakin]

For Featured Title font color, you can change the color code and add it in “Appearance => Theme Options -> Custom CSS” box.

.entry-header .entry-title a {
    color: #222222;
}

Fore slider background and button.

.featured-slider .slides {
    background-color: #000;
}
#main-slider .entry-title a,
#main-slider .entry-content  {
    background: transparent;
    color: #fff;
}

For footer:

#footer-sidebar {
    background-color: #000;
}

[zscheimer]

That worked for most of the my issues. I still have a few small issues.

1) The featured content title is black font
2) The slider sides and bottom are white
3) The footer and the footer widget area are white/grey

[Sakin]

@zorter: For sub-menu item color, you can add the following Custom CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

#fixed-header-top ul.menu ul { background-color: #fff; }
#fixed-header-top ul.menu ul li a { color: #000; }

For Slider, you cannot add this slider in your sidebar. For sidebar slider you can search for slider plugin at http://wordpress.org/plugins/.

Thanks for upgrading to pro version. You can find detail instruction of slider on http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution-pro/. Now for the slider, first you need to “Select Slider Type” from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options”.

So, if you choose Featured Page Slider or Featured Post slider, you need to add Page or Post ID from which the slider code will take the featured image of those page and post. Similarly if you choose Featured Category Slider, then it will take the latest posts features image from selected category.

Then if you choose Featured Image Slider then it’s an independent slider where you have to upload individual image, title, content and links as per your need.

Modifying the width of the slide is bit complicated as we need to change the width will the responsive design of various screen-size. So, can you tell me your desire width and I will check in the css.

[Sakin]

@TruckinTortuga: I see that you are using Catch Evolution Free theme which only have option to use Featured Post Slider which was created to highlight your post. That means, you need to use post and link to post. No, other options. But Pro version have option to use Page Slider, Post Slider, Category Slider and Image Slider. See more about it at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution-pro/

Yes, when you have the latest post added in your slider post. Then you will have duplicate like one in the slide and anther as your latest posts. You can remove that by going to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider” Featured Post Slider Options” and check on “Exclude Slider post from Homepage posts”.

[Sakin]

@Karin: Did you check in our Theme Instruction page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest-pro/.

In Catch Everest Pro theme, you have option to select “Post Slider, Page Slider, Category Slider and Image Slider”. So, if you want to add page or post slider then you need to add page or post IDs. For category slider, you need to select category and for image slider, you need to upload the image.

First, go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options” and select the slider type. For example: select “Image Slider”.
Then you will get “Featured Image Slider Options” where you can upload the image. See this screenshot http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329509357/

Thank you Suchi, although I have to admit I still don’t get it. I see that under theme options – featured slider I can change setting for how the existing images moves, timings etc. but not how I actually change the image…??

Michael: my site is http://www.expressionsarttherapy.co.uk, it is the two images that actually comes with the theme to start, the one of mount everest and the one of buddhist wheels that I wish to change to my own images…so not the header above or the images below but the main images.

[Suruchi]

Just go under theme options > featured slider here you will see slider options and featured image slider options this is where you upload new images.
