@paulyuan: You can hide entry meta on header by adding the following CSS in your “Custom CSS” box in your Theme Options:

.entry-header .entry-meta {
display: none;
}


You can disable sidebar if you select different layout from Theme Options. But if you have default layout then yes we will have sidebar.

Yes featured image on Post only. You can add any image in page that is not a problem. If you are thinking of adding the featured slider without post then you can upgrade to Catch Box Pro theme which have independent Featured Image Slider.

@paulyuan: Please add in one question per posts. Use separate thread for new question.

How can I hide big title names from contains? I mean if the menu tab is “Projects”, the “Projects” always as a title shows on the contain of that page.
—- Add the following css in the “Custom CSS” box in your Theme Options panel
/* To hide the title of the page */

.page .entry-title {
display: none;
}


What is a normal way to do a photo gallery? By add posts into a categories as sidebar or to download a plugin?
—- this is your option. You can use the plugin or use the gallery presented in the theme itself. See this for using WordPress default gallery http://codex.wordpress.org/The_WordPress_Gallery . This is for adding it in your posts and pages. But for the slider you need to add plugin.

Is there any way to make slider shows on right side or left side?
— For slider. There is variety of option presented in Catch Box Pro theme. You can look at the Slider Options. Form your WordPress Dashboard go to “Theme Options -> Featured Slider -> Slider Options ” . From there you can choose Slider Layout as “Normal” which will make the slider show in the left side. But you cannot show the slider in the Sidebar. But you can change the content layout from “Theme Options”

What is the relationship between Main Sidebar and Page Sidebar? At same location? Only home page can has own sidebar, all pages will repeatably shows same sidebar and foobars, or turn them off for some pages. Is it right?
— There is Main Sidebar, Homepage Sidebar, Archive Sidebar, Page Sidebar and Post sidebar. These all are for same locations. It just give you option to show different sidebars in different section. If you have only Main sidebar with active widgets then all pages, posts, archive will show same sidebar. If you have active main and homepage sidebar, then homepage will have different sidebar. So goes with all.
— To turn off the sidebar in some pages, when you add or edit any page, you will “Select Slider Layout” meta box under your content editor. There you can select the appropriate setting for your pages and posts.

Why Featured Image can not show on pages but it can shows on post.
— For this I don’t understand your question much. Featured image are used only if you are using it as blogs that is why posts are used.

@l1qu1d: Can you send me your site url so that I can see what you are talking about. I am bit confused.

[Sakin]

@nathalia: Can you send me your site URL please.

[nathalia]

I have the same issue and the code you provide doe not fix it. Is there an update coming?

[Sakin]

@hendrik: Yes we will add the additional features in updates. The main addition to the Simple Catch theme is the Responsive Design and Featured Image Slider.

Solutions for your questions. You can add the css in your child theme style.css or in your theme theme options.
1. how do I change the color of the menu. Just change the color code in the below css.

/* For menu main background */
#access {
border:1px solid #ccc;
background-color:#fff;
}
/* For hover and current menu background */
#access ul li a:hover, #access ul li.current-menu-item a, #access ul li:hover > a {
background-color:#444;
}
/* For submenus menu background */
#access ul li ul li a:hover, #access ul li ul li:hover > a {
background-color:#333;
}


2. how do I change the color or background of the header
To change the background just change the image.

#branding {
background:url("images/bg-header.jpg") left bottom repeat-x;
}

To change the color and remove the background image. Just change the color code below:

#branding {
background: none left #000;
}


3. how can I increase the space between logo and site title. If you check my site http://69.89.31.69/~riceandc/ you see that it looks a bit strange. Just increase the padding left as below:

#site-title {
padding-left: 30px;
}

@Anusha: You are using Featured Post Slider so it will linked with the post. But if you want to liked with the external link then you may try redirection plugin. Which will help you to redirect your post to external site.

[Sakin]

@thorsten: There is no fixed picture dimension for Featured Image Slider as you can make the image slider whole width or just a small one like in basic version.

If you use regular image slider then width is 644px but if you use large full content slider then width is 920px.

You can set the number of slides in the slider through “Slider Options”. There you will see “Number of Slides” input box just type in the number you want.

For opening in new window. It is not currently supported. We have noted down and wil add in future version updates. For now, you need to hire a customizer ( http://catchthemes.com/hire-customizer/ ) or post it in jobs ( http://jobs.wordpress.net/ )

@mgerney: Image size is define in functions.php in simplecatch_setup() function.

See this line
add_image_size( 'slider', 976, 313, true); // uses on Featured Slider on Homepage Header

Replace with
add_image_size( 'slider', 976, 450, true); // uses on Featured Slider on Homepage Header

But please make this changes in your Child theme as if you just update the core theme then when there is update it will be reverted back. This make you change again and again when there is update.

After changing the code. You need to install the Regenerate Thumbnails Plugin and Regenerate your thumbnails.

[Sakin]

@cooks: there is no page support for the featured slider. You can just rewrite the same thing in the post and add that post ID.

But you can check our the cool function in Catch Box Pro theme. Where there is Featured Image Slider. So, to create slider you don’t need post or page. Just upload the image and details as necessary.

[Sakin]

@Mihir1997: You can add the following code in content-single.php just above header.

<?php if( has_post_thumbnail() ):?>
<div class="image-post">
<?php the_post_thumbnail('featured-slider'); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>


[Sakin]

@rlsdesigns: For adding slider with just image and title without making it clickable. This can be done by using Featured Image Slider.

1. Go to “Theme Options -> Featured Slider”
2. Then in your “Slider Options”, select “Featured Image Slider”.
3. Then add image and title only in your “Featured Image Slider Options” and then click on save.

It’s all done.

[Sakin]

@rlsdesigns: For this you need to customize the catchbox_sliders() function. To do that you need to create Child theme and then edit catchbox_sliders() function and edit the following part for which you need to have knowledge of PHP coding:

'.get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'featured-slider', array( 'title' => $title_attribute, 'alt' => $title_attribute, 'class' => 'pngfix' ) ).'

'
.the_title( '','', false ).' :
'.get_the_excerpt().'

';


But if you want easy way out then there is good news that on Christmas, we recently released Catch Box Pro version where, it meets all your criteria. There is additional featured image slider where you can just add the image and title and description, links are optional. http://catchthemes.com/themes/catch-box-pro/

[ronmerk]

@mastergobo: For this you have to build child theme and then alter catchbox_sliders() function. For easy solution you can upgrade to Catch Box Pro theme http://catchthemes.com/themes/catch-box-pro/ and use Featured Image slider where you can manually add in the Image URL, Title, Description and links. All optional.

[Sakin]

@klrouth : Can you disable “nextgen scrollGallery” plugin and check it. I suspect conflict jQuery conflict with the plugin. Is this doesn’t solve then try deactivating all the plugins and then check it. If this is fine then enable plugin one by one to see which one is creating conflict.

Next step you can take is reset the settings in the Featured Image SLider.

Let me know it.
