@senna: In Catch Mustang theme, there is 5 different type of slider that you can choose from. See this screenshot http://pinterest.com/pin/548594798329874581/
1. Featured Image Slider
2. Featured Post Slider
3. Featured Page Slider
4. Featured Category Slider

But only in “Featured Image Slider” you can upload the image and add in your slider. For page and post slider, you need to add the ID and for Category Slier you need to select categories.

For image slider, after you upload the image. You need to check on the size you want and then click on “Insert Into Post” http://pinterest.com/pin/548594798329798533/

When I click on the upload button to upload the image which has been sized and optimised, the image appears. Then I click insert into post, but no description comes into the line of the featured slide 1. It is blank. I copied some images from another website that I created but the link is to that website but it works.
I should be able to upload images. I had a look whether they had to be ID numbers, but the last website didn’t use them on Catch Mustang. Can you help please

Awesome! I thought that might be it..

I’ll check it out later.

@cbtoolkit: In our site http://www.pulseinfomatics.com/ the images in the slider width is 980px whereas the site width is 1000px. So, just increase the width of the images.This will remove the grey background in left and right.

To remove the margin between the menu and slider, you need to add the following css.
#branding #access { margin-bottom: 0; }

[cbtoolkit]

I also attempted to set the margin below the main menu at pulse to “0 auto 0”.

It works when I am modifying the element in chrome in real-time but when I save that into the custom CSS it doesn’t alter it.

#access { margin: 0 auto 0; }

Basically, making the image full-width, no space between main-menu at the top, no gray background/border on the image at all.

Thanks.

I added a 0 bottom margin for #main on the demo site.

However, on the PulseInfomatics.com site, I still get a left and right dark gray edge that I do not want. I’ll leave it for now so you can check it.

Here is what I came up with…

#slider.slider-fullwidth {
  margin: 0px;
}
#slider-wrap a {
   padding: 0;
}

@Sakin,

Here is my demo site..

I’ll be doing the same for this site.

@speedie: To link to page, you need to use Featured Page Slider instead of Featured Post Slider. This option is there only in Catch Everest Pro version. Check out cool features in Catch Everest Pro at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest-pro/

@cbtoolkit: Can I take a look at your site?

[speedie]

I have the slider going from image to image and when you click on an image it takes you to the relevant post?

Is there anyway to change the direction path so instead of going to the post you go to a page that I can specify such as a page instead of a post?

Thanks.

[cbtoolkit]

I’m trying to figure out the css to make my full-width featured slider have no margin or padding. I want the image to be as large as the entire main area left to right.

I can remove the margin and almost get it but have not figured out how to get rid of the grey margin around the #slider.

I’ll look at it again tonight but if anyone has an idea, let me know.

Thanks.

@Bill Pagonas: If you are using Simple Catch Pro theme and you want your latest post to go in the slider, then you must use “Featured Category Slider”.

To use featured category slider,
1. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options”. Then in “Select Slider Type”, you need to select “Featured Category Slider”.
2. After you select the “Featured Category Slider”. You need to select the category from “Featured Category Slider Options”. If you want from all category then you can select multiple category.

Hi Sakin,

In order to have pictures in the slider i must go manually in Featured Slider and add the appropriate ids.Because i have too many new article every day i must update the slider all the time. Is there any way the slider can automatic take the pictures from my latest posts?
Thank you.

@Marianne: Please share your site URL when posting message. Are you using Simple Catch Free Theme? Then you can disable Slider Background Effect from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Slider Effect Options” in your WordPress Dashboard.

Hi, Im using Catch Box (Free) and on my Home Page I have

– A Featured Slider
– 2 Widgets (Side Bar)

I have no need for any Text bellow the Featured Slider.

BUT there’s still a Text box there!?

Any Idea how I can Remove this? Or Have a Home Page that doesn’t use a Page?

Thank you in Advance

Thanks for the reply, I have been away so I apologise for the delay!

It is very important that the featured post slider function is still enabled on the homepage. Is there really no way this can be achieved at the same time as having a sidebar? Seems like quite a negative for such an impressive theme!?…

[Sakin]

@Yago: Do you mean you want to change the Homepage Slider image and the Featured Content Image.

To change Homepage Featured Post Slider and Homepage Featured Content. See the theme instruction http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest/ . You can check “How to Add Featured Post Slider?” and “Homepage Featured Content Options” section in the Theme Instruction page.

Excellent, thank you, that worked perfectly. Just curious, is there anyway to have it moved next to the slider featured images on the right?
