Hello,
How can I modify the Everest theme to:
1 – remove the grey band above the Header
2 – reduce the white space before and after the Logo
3 – reduce the white space before and after the Featured Post Slider
4 – reduce the white space before and after the Homepage Headline
Thank you!
Your child theme sytle.css will be as following

@Kayman Engineering:
1. How can I change the name of the “Home” button in the menu bar?
— You can set your own custom menu from “Appearance => Menu”. You can change the menu name from the labels of the items. See more info about menu at http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
2. Can I change the bag ground color for only the “home” button? I would like the menu bar to black, and the home button to in a red color. Both with a white front.
— Send me the screenshot of the menu design and send me your site URL. Then I can send you the custom css
3. I use a static front page. Can I place my page text so the text is right under the slider, but above the featured Content?
— For this you need to build child theme and edit the positions from your child theme functions.php action hooks. So, you might need to hire developer for this.
@lavana24: You don’t need to remove it. You can just go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options”. Then in Enable Slider select Disable. This will remove your slider js completely.
@Sarah Althaus: If you don’t want image to be cut of, then you can upgrade to pro version and use the Featured Image Slider. Where you can upload the image of any size.
But for which area to cut of in the image. You can use the plugin such as http://wordpress.org/plugins/post-thumbnail-editor/
Thank you! I haven’t had time to adjust sizes yet, but I will let you know if any issue persists. Thanks for a great, sleek, template design! I love it!

@MichelB: Well I don’t have Android device to test it. So, can you send me the screenshot and the device resolution.
I also have found issue with your slider, it’s over the menu. So, add the following css in “Apearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#branding { z-index: 10; }
Further, I see that you haven’t added Featured Image in your posts.
@Lynzee: You are having problem with the menu as your slider image is very small. Just upload the larger images and it will solve your issues.
For some reason that code didn’t work. Likely because of something I messed up! 😉
So, I see how to put the featured post slider on each page, but what if I wanted to put a different featured post slider on each page? is that possible? thanks again for great support on this!
@danielvercaemst:
1. I would like to limit its display to homepage.
— Sorry I don’t understand what you are trying to do it. Can you explain it.
2. I wood like to use a square picture for the post in listing pages, but if i do that, the slide is to small and in a bad size..
Can you tell me what i’m doing bad ?
— You can see the image sizes in http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/simple-catch-pro/
If you are having trouble with sizes then you can use Featured Image Slider, where you can upload image of any size, and link to any url. So, you have different image slide and separate featured post image.
Hi,
The featured sliders on my homepage are covering the left portion of the menu, so when you try to click on one of the menu choices to the left, you’re unable to. I found a post in the forum regarding a similar problem…I input the code suggested for the fix under the custom CSS box, but it didn’t change anything. Any help would be appreciated; thank you!

@taranlewis: Yes it is not recommended at all to customize any core theme files such as style.css, functions.php and all. As when you update the theme, these files will get reverted back and all your customization will be overwritten.
Then best way to add new css is either though “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box or through build child theme.
Since you have customize the site. It has become difficult for me to track back the css for changes. Can you try adding the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box to remove the padding top in the page main wrap.
.page #main { padding-top: 0; }
To add featured post slider in all pages, you can go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Slider Options” in your WordPress Dashboard. Then you can check “Entire Site” and click on save.
@rdorrego: You can delete the old css that I gave you and add the following css.
#branding { z-index: 25; }
#nav-slider .nav-previous, #nav-slider .nav-next { z-index: 20; }
Sakin,
The featured image in the slider is now behind the drop down menu selections, however the directional, left and right, buttons are still in the forefront affecting the selection.

The more I think about the more I’d just like to utilize the featured post slider on every page instead of the slider plugin that I installed….
Hello and thank for the great theme!
I am trying to customize the content area for my website:
http://www.sfwconstruction.com
i would like to have the text on each of my pages (siding, painting, etc.) display closer to the edge of the white area. i would also like to get rid of the margin below the menu bar and make the pages look more like the home page. any thoughts on that? sorry i messed with the original css file. I read replies about not doing that after the fact!
also wondering, is there a way to use the featured image slider from the home page for each page of my website (using it to display different featured images)?
thanks again!
@rdorrego: Just add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#branding { z-index: 10; }
