@tamerch: thanks for informing. Yes, I just check it and found that there is lot of empty translation. I will have to push like on 1.8.1 version update.

You can download the language folder for catch box http://catchthemes.com/downloads/catchbox-languages.zip

@golfer300 : See the Theme Instruction http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-box/ . The best size for featured slider is 644px width by 320px height.

For adding bold Home above the Featured slider. This is bit complicated. You need to first build a child theme and then copy header.php and just add this in line no 97:
<span style="font-size: 20px; display: block; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 10px;">Home</span>

Ok, I modified fr_FR.po and fr_FR.mo and it fixes the problem.

(I can’t attach files to this post … i can send it by mail if needed)

regards,

not sure if it has something to do with translation … (i’m not a specialist in wordpress).

I guess wordpress would return the message untranslated if it is not found in the translation file ?!

Anyway, a similar problem occurs in social link options (only facebook and twitter are shown ) !

Ok here is an explanation of the problem on CATCH-BOX theme.

I saw that, for any reason, the translation “Featured Slider”  in the fr_FR.po is empty !


#: ../inc/theme-options.php:196
#: ../inc/theme-options.php:197
msgid "Featured Slider"
msgstr ""

line 608 -> 611

Changing (in theme-options.php line 195 to 201)

$slider_options = add_theme_page(
__( 'Featured Slider', 'catchbox' ), // Name of page
__( 'Featured Slider', 'catchbox' ), // Label in menu
'edit_theme_options', // Capability required
'slider_options', // Menu slug, used to uniquely identify the page
'catchbox_options_slider_page' // Function that renders the options page
);

to

$slider_options = add_theme_page(
__( 'Featured Slider', 'catchbox' ), // Name of page
'Slider', // Label in menu
'edit_theme_options', // Capability required
'slider_options', // Menu slug, used to uniquely identify the page
'catchbox_options_slider_page' // Function that renders the options page
);

May correct the problem (I do not recommand to do that but it may help).
Also you can modify the translation files I guess …

@ctannehill: Featured Slider in under the Theme Options panel under Appearance Tab.

@Mapillustrator: If you use Featured Image Slider then it’s all manual and it doesn’t take any media alt tag as this option let you add in the image url even outside of your site. That is just a manual url. But if you use Featured Post Slider then yes it takes in the media alt tags.

[Sakin]

@Mapillustrator: I checked your site and you are using Featured Image Slider. Here the image will take the Image Slider Title that you added in your “Theme Options -> Featured Slider -> Featured Image Slider Options”.

[Sakin]

@Electricfan: that’s great.

[Electricfan]

I think I figured it out… I removed the image that was attached to the slider and it seems to be ok.

 

[Electricfan]

thanks but I think I’m set now..

[Sakin]

@Electricfan: Can you send me your site URL so that I can check it.

[heathermcguffin]

That worked! I’m so excited. What about the “posted in uncategorized.” Is there a way to remove that as well?

Also, I’m trying to use different transition effects on the featured slider, but none of the other options are working. Is there another place to change this other than “slider options”

[Sakin]

@sbarrington114: to remove the content in homepage you can just add the following CSS in your “Custom CSS” box in Theme Options panel
.home #primary { display: none; }

For slider, there is no option to put custom url for some. If you choose Featured Post slider then it will link to it’s respective posts. Only if you choose Featured Image slider you can choose any custom URL.

Im sorry but ive read that all a couple times now and dont see anything about changing what I want to change.
In the image below, youll see the part I dont want. The red circle… I dont want that blank box there. I just want the home page to be the featured slider the way I have it.
Then the next part, I only want to change the “continue reading” link on certain posts. not all of them. As in, some posts are fine with the way its doing it now, but future posts, I might want to make that link take someone to a custom URL.

[Sakin]

@sbarrington114: It’s ok but you can always create a new thread. I see that you are using Catch Box Pro theme. Then there is option to replace your current Featured Post Slider with Featured Image Slider. Where you can add the image, title, description and link as per your wish. See this for theme instruction: http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-box-pro/

[sbarrington114]

Also could you tell me how to change the continue reading link URL? Some of them I want to go to different web pages altogether.

[sbarrington114]

Sakin, I also have a slider question. Sorry to hi jack but dont see a need for another thread.

If you view my site, on the home page below the featured slider, theres an empty box that just says “HOME” in it. How can I get rid of this?

@PixX_L: Please use different thread. This is for Simple Catch Theme and you are asking about Catch Box Theme. This will confused other users.

For Catch Box theme Featured slider is in “Appearance -> Featured Slider”. It not under Theme Options. We haven’t change theme panel for Catch Box. It’s same as before.
