Hi Skandha
Sorry, your emails are ending up in my junk folder!
Yes, that’s the problem – the featured slider should have 5 images. I’ve just worked out that the error is caused by the Featured Slider’s Image Loader. For each setting, this is what I get:
– True – 1 image
– Wait – no images
– False – all 5 images
WP5.5 lazy loads by default – https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/07/14/lazy-loading-images-in-5-5/#:~:text=In%20WordPress%205.5%2C%20images%20will,web%20standard%20earlier%20in%202020.
I think you’re going to need to adjust all your themes for WP5.5. I don’t suppose you’ve fixed the Catch Starter header image problem yet? (Couldn’t see a new version in the WP repository.) It’s probably also related to the new image handling.
Cheers

@adibsalleh: Hello there,
Go to => Appearance => Customize => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Select the pages that you want to display on your slider and Publish.
The Image Loader option is not available for this theme. For more instructions please follow this link.
Let me know if you have anymore issues.
Kind Regards,

I got an issue to put images to featured slider. The theme i used are called Alchemist (free version) . Ive read the frequent ask question on how to put the images. But doesnt work for me. Because i couldnt find a section called “image loader”. Is there a bug in the theme?
@queenbuzzy: Hello there,
To change the post thumbnail to the same aspect ratio as that of the featured slider you will need to create a child theme and do a little bit of customization. Let me know if you are familiar with child theme customization so that I can help you out.
It is not possible to have two separate image for slider and blog posts using posts or page. What you can do is use Custom Type in the featured slider and upload the images and content to it and then upload the featured image in posts that suits the blog posts structure.
Let me know if this helps you out!

Hi!
I’m having issues with setting image sizes for the featured slider and the automatically generated thumbnail.
The Featured Slider is a rectangular image (667×375), and the thumbnail is a square (about 200×200 by the looks of it).
I’d like to learn how to do two things:
(a) change the thumbnail to be the same aspect ratio as the featured slider (about 2:1)
(b) have the ability to use a completely separate image for the thumbnail. As it stands it only looks like the thumbnail pulls from the featured image. (I’m not sure if this is an option in the pro version – if so, let me know and I can upgrade.)
So far I have tried resizing the thumbnail in the media settings to 200×100, which didn’t work; and I looked through these forums to find any advice – which only led me to this post: https://catchthemes.com/support-forum/topic/change-the-size-of-a-post-thumnail-doesnt-work; which didn’t offer a solution for customizing the child theme, only that it was possible. (I can figure out customization with a child theme with some guidance.)
If someone could show me the documentation where I could figure out these two items, I’d really appreciate it!
Thank you so much!

Featured Slider
Set to “Custom” mode. To the right of each image is a plate with the title specified in settings.
1) can you make the plate transparent?
2) can you place the plate somewhere else in the picture?
3) can you deselect the plate and title and only show a clean image?
4) can you change the size of the plate in relation to the title (padding?)?

Featured Slider
I use Featured Slider with the Custom setting (Select slider type). To the right of each image is a plate with the title of the image.
1) is it possible to place the plate / title elsewhere in the picture?
2) is it possible to make the plate transparent?
3) is it possible to resize the plate in relation to the text? As it is now, it adapts to the text.
4) Can you remove plate / text so that the image is displayed clean.

Featured Slider
I use Featured Slider and Featured Content. I have not written any Featured Content Title because I do not want it.
– How do I increase the distance between Featured Slider and Featured Content. Now they end up close together = not nice.

Hi,
is there a way to use the Featured Slider without showing the titles of the featured pages?
I.e. When I feature a page called “My featured page” this text is display in the miffle of picture in the slider.
How can I get rid of this? I would like to see only the Picture in the slider.
Best regards
Bernhard
I’ve noticed that the featured video section is not working in the customizer anymore (even after updating the theme to the latest version). In the customizer under “Theme options > Featured video” I can only enable/disable this section but can’t edit the video-information (adding, deleting, editing). Same goes for “Featured Content” and “Featured Slider”. I use Chrome and the latest WordPress version. Can anyone help or give me a hint where to look?
Hi,
I have an issue with the featured slider image displaying good on desktop but bad on smartphone as the subject is not centered.
I managed to recenter the image for aa good smartphone display but it is not as good on desktop.
How can I choose one pic for smartphone and the other for desktop ?
Thank you in advance !
@stellam: Hello there,
Can you please make your site accessible and let me know on which specific page you want the slider, projects, hero content, galleries, promotion headline, testimonial, featured content and logo slider?
Please mention the specific pages where you want the section enabled so that I can provide you the necessary CSS Codes. Also enable all these section on entire site.
To attach a screenshot please upload the screenshot image on platforms like Google Drive or Dropbox and then paste in the link here.
Yes you can videos on each page with this theme.
Sorry for the late reply.
I hope this helps you out!

Hello, is it still possible to help with atleast the two most technical questions?
We would like pages with just one section separately on each page. If we start over, that just means 1 page with the slider, and eventually a text. Another page with “projects”, a 3rd for the Hero Content, a 4th with a many galleries, a 5th with promotional headlines and continue with testimonials, then featured content, then logos, ect. (And then we can copy them to make the pages for the different languages?) Is that possible with this theme?
I can’t add a screen shot to this post of the locked “widgets” which maybe are rightly called “elements”? are when I want to edit a page, and drag and drop a slide or gallery onto the page, it isn’t allowed and says “see it in action” and takes me to a page to buy pro. The general and basic elements are open and usable, but all the others have a little lock in the upper right hand corner of the button.
Can videos be added on each page with this theme?
thank you
Thank you Skandha!
The plugin for translation is polylang. But if it’s not too difficult, we can switch. We prefer manual translation that we do ourselves rather than automatic “gooogle” translation. Is that possible? For the time being, it’s the French page that doesn’t receive the demo data – I’m not sure why.
And we were even thinking to restart our site from scratch since the images and texts that were in the previous theme were uploaded as images made in powerpoint since we couldn’t figure out how to work with the design. And in any case we wanted to renew both the texts and the images. Do you think it would be better? What we liked was the structure of the languages and the pages that already corresponded in the 3 languages and thought we’d save time keeping it. But if this theme doesn’t support polylang, then maybe it’s just easier to start over?

@stellam: Hello there,
Can you let me know which plugin you are using for translation? We only support WPML for translation.
To change the order of Featured Slider
Go to => Appearance => Customize => Theme Options => Section Sorter => Change the order of the section and Publish.
To use hero content and featured content on a specific page
Enable the section on Entire Site and let me know on which specific page you want the section enabled.
Can you please explain what you mean by Pro widgets are still locked?
Can you let me know which section is not responsive?
More instructions please follow this link.

Hello, I changed the theme from Actema to Catch Inspire Pro and I’m having a lot of difficulty. I must have missed a step somewhere. After importing demo data I still can’t seem easily modify the pages.
– The demo data uploaded to two of three languages and I would like it also on the 3rd language.
-the header image and the slider are together and I would like to separate them.
– When I make the slightest modification of a picture, the whole site changes including the menu and it’s very frustrating.
– If I want to use hero content on one page and featured content in another, is that possible?
– Even though we have the pro version, the pro-widgets still have a lock on them. I activated the license code but that didn’t help.
– When I try to edit that which I am allowed access too, the work area isn’t responsive, even after publishing.
– is PHP necessary?
Is there some sort of tutorial for beginners? I upgraded to Pro thinking it would be make the change easier, but it’s not so “beginner-friendly” .. please help!
Thank you!
@skandha this is concerning REPLY #253366 and #254638
I had 2 websites, so you can see the difference – the probelem is with the website https://vestegnenssportsterapeut.dk:
I’m already using child theme with static frontpage.
Website: https://larspries.dk where the frontpage order is (the way I would like to show):
1. Logo area
2. Featured slider
3. Homepage headline options
4. Frontpage text – static
5. Homepage featured content options
6. Footer widget area
But at this website https://vestegnenssportsterapeuat.dk ther order is:
1. Logo area
2. Featured slider
3. Homepage headline options
4. Homepage featured content options
5. Frontpage text – static
6. Footer widget area
I want to move point 5 above point 4 at this website also, but I can’t find the checkbox to do it. It has been possible to do it before.
Please advise me what to do?
