@real_makkoy: I am giving you the answer based on Catch Everest Pro theme.
To remove the background that the featured slider text is on, you can add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#main-slider .entry-title span,
#main-slider .entry-content {
background: none transparent;
}
I am also using catch everest pro. I just need to remove the grey text background under the text that sits on top of the featured slider image
Hello is there a way to remove the background that the featured slider text is on?
@pdxjohn13: Sorry there is not option to do that. You need to build child theme and then customize the theme.
But for a trick, I told you that you can just add single post in your Featured Post Slider. When you only have single post in the slider it won’t slide.
@pdxjohn13: You can disable the slider from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Slider Options”.
Is there a changelog anywhere for the recent update? I was a bit dense and didn’t go the route of a child-theme to make a couple modifications to Catch Box. While my changes were super minor, and I’ll just throw together a child theme so I can update Catch Box, I was curious as to what was changed.
By the way, an observation: The slider tends to change height depending on the length of excerpt which isn’t always the same number of lines — when it gets to an excerpt that adds a line, it pushes everything below it down, then when it switches to the next slide, stuff jumps back up. I fixed this by forcing the slider height to always be 410px high, but always seems wrong to use !important in CSS, heh.
Personally I’m not entirely sold on sliders in general, but I love the simplicity of Catch Box’s; I think eventually I might have a horizontal row of ‘featured’ posts instead of slider… //ramble
Thanks for the kickass theme, I’ve been really impressed by how great this theme is, it makes customizing it a breeze. Compared to some of the other themes that tout responsiveness or simpleness, Catch Box actually is what it claims.
@grayscottage: Do you mean that you just want image as the slider and that doesn’t link to the post? If that is the case then you need to upgrade to Pro version and use Image Slider. Free version only have Featured Post Slider.
Another is that do you want to make your homepage with the posts. Then go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage/Frontpage Settings”, then check on “Enable Latest Posts”.
@nilesh: I cannot open your homepage. Can you check it?
Dear Sakin,

Kindly help
Thanks,

@Ceci: Are you using Free version or pro version. Send me you site URL so that I can check in.
In you are using Free version then you have option to add Featured Post Slider, for this you need to create post and add featured image in your post. Then remember that post ID and add in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider”. When you add the post ID. Just add id. See this screenshot http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329984427/
I too would like to change the image in the image slider but am having a hard timer figuring out how to do it. Do I have to create a post, add a feature image, then go to slider options and put the ID of the post there? If so, I did this and still did not work… Help please
@robzone21: I just check in your site and found that you are not using any of our themes. We only provide support to our own themes.
Hey Sakin,
Please help me with the same issue. The featured slider is not showing up for the following site:

I thought it will be theme issue. But after changing the theme, the slider still not displaying. Please help!
Awaiting reply.
@Jeffer: You should have posted your site URL. Are you talking about the sliding image. Are you using Free Catch Everest Theme or Premium Catch Everest Pro Theme.
If you are using Free Catch Everest Theme then the image can be changed or disabled from “Appearance => Featured Post Slider” in your WordPress Dashboard. Free version only have Featured Post Slider and for this you need to first create post with Featured Image and then get the ID of the post and then add that post ID. See the detail instruction at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest/
But if you are using Catch Everest Pro then you can simple use Featured Image Slider where you can upload your own image and add text and link as per you need. See the detail instruction at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest-pro/
@a.jagroe: What’s your site URL? It doesn’t take the image inside the post. But it takes the image from the Featured Image in that post. So, you need to assign Featured Image in those posts. See how to add featured image http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image
Hey Guys,
I also got a problem, i’m new here. So excuse me if i make mistakes.
I installed the Simple Catch theme on WordPress.
I’m trying to get the sliders to work.
I make a post, with a image in it, then i take the ID from the post and put in the options from the slider.
But the image isn’t showing at all, can someone help me.
Maybe i’m doing something wrong.. but i tried everything i could
Cheers.
If that’s not possible, is there a way to even it out by putting a white space before the featured image slider?
Hi Sakin, if you look at my homepage, you will see a chunk of white space below my featured image slider. Is there a way I can remove it? Thank you!
@ultradezins: This is strange why it is not working in your site. I need to check in your server. So, I will email you for further correspondence.
I always used post ID. Also I did add 4 slides and still not working
