@jean-rene: if you are using Simple Catch Pro then just choose the “Featured Image” and then just add in the images. Don’t add any title and description. This will make it show only the images you have.

[Sakin]

@Piirus: that’s great that you have purchased the Simple Catch Pro theme. But for those who want to know I would like to highlight the features:

1. Simple Catch Theme is build in HTML4 and CSS2 with static layout whereas Simple Catch Pro Theme is build in HTML5, CSS3 and Responsive layout.

2. Featured Slider: Simple Catch only have Featured Post Slider where to use the slider you need to assign post ID. But in Simple Catch Pro there is option between Featured Post and Featured Image Slider. If you choose featured image slider you can assign image, tittle, description and links manually.

3. Simple Catch Theme has 3 default layouts whereas Simple Catch Pro Theme has 5 default layouts.

4. Simple Catch Pro has custom footer editor where you can edit the footer text.

5. Simple Catch Pro has adspace widget for adding advertisement in the sidebar.

@rumyan: if you want to make changes to the theme then I recommend you to build child theme and then add in the changes there in child theme. If you make changes directly in the theme core files then it will be reverted back after you make the updates.

You need to replace the below code
[php]
/**
* This function to display featured posts on homepage header
*
* @get the data value from theme options
* @displays on the homepage header
*
* @useage Featured Image, Title and Content of Post

Then you need to clear the cache by making changes on any theme setting in your slider.

But if you want to use simple image slider with your own link, title and description. Everything is optional then you can upgrade to Simple Catch Pro theme.

is a test site because I am changing some theme design.

now appears only featured slider will not slide.

I removed the “#”.

in the home, if you’ll notice, I modified to display 6 news in summary, but when I click on a post, so changes and I would like the full-page news, as you have created this issue, but in the home appear to sum.

 

thanks,

problems with “featured slider” to catch box wordpress theme

not in the home. When I enter the ID of the post and give it to save, delete them automatically.

[Sakin]

@regalaffair: you can use the same. We will add this fix in new version update. thanks for reporting bug.

[Sakin]

@ntillman: We need to add the option for enabling and disabling slider. We will look in for future update. For now you can just hide it using the css. Add the following css in “Custom CSS” box in Theme Options under Appearance Tab in your WordPress Dashboard:
.blog .featured-slider, .blog #controllers {
display:none;
}

[regalaffair]

Same here. I have the latest version and I have the homepage / frontpage checked also. titaniumrib.org

[Sakin]

@dpmaki: Hum that’s really strange. I will have my support team look at it. I don’t know why it is showing in you site. But for a quick fix until we release the new version. You can add the following css in the “Custom CSS” box in your Theme Options.

.blog .featured-slider {
display: none;
}


[dpmaki]

I already have the latest version installed.

[Sakin]

@dpmaki: Can you download the latest version of Simple Catch Pro from your account in Catch Themes and then upload it. If this latest version doesn’t fix it then I will need to check in with you. So, let me know the status.

@dpmaki: can you send me your site url. It’s little strange.

[dpmaki]

I have “Homepage/Frontpage Only” selected and the featured slider is appearing on both my home page as well as my news page (which is my blog). Can you tell me what the issue might be here, as I only want the images on the main page.

[sandyboyack]

on the page with the post below it. the title is babies. it shows the tab for the slider that matches babies… the thumbnail that matches the slider babies is center and makes no sense, thumbnail needs to show the left side to show the babies face. — in the section where you add the slider image to the site (theme options, featured slider) – underneath the pict is button to edit, in that edit it says you can edit just the thumbnail. How do you do that? I tried to go to the choices above the pict chose crop, cropped to just the face, and chose only thumbnail, then there is a save button under the pict. — the save button is not clickable…

Hi, thanks for the Simple catch theme!
My image slider works well, but I only want the slider on the static home page and I do not wish the Feature image posts to appear in my blog or anywhere – they are just for the feature images.
Thanks for your help.

@regalaffair: In Simple Catch Pro theme there is slider option to enable slider in “Homepage / Frontpage” only.

Check the settings id “Theme Options -> Featured Slider -> Slider Options”

[Sakin]

This is really simple. In your WordPress Dashboard. Go to Appearance -> Featured Slider.

Then click on “Slider Effect Options”. From there check the box to Disable Slider Background Effect.
