I tested on Android,theme works great.But on old phones with java browsers search field on the home page is not usable and there is an overlap of featured images in the slider.Which models of phones and platforms are currently compatible with Catch Everest theme?

[CarlK3D]

I have the Slider on my Front Page BUT because I’ve hidden my Posts from the Front Page (Using a Plugin, WP Hide Post) when I add the Post ID it give an error “Nothing Found”.

I just would Like to have a Post that’s not visible on the front page. and the Featured Image Links to the Post or Maybe another URL (If that’s possible)

I’ve followed all instructions such as, Make a Post, Add a Featured Image & Copy the Post ID.

Here is the Website – http://www.carlk3d.com/

I have the exact same problem. Before installing the 1.0 update, I had only the featured posts slider on my front page as well as the headline. These are the only two elements I want on the home page. But now it’s possible to remove latest posts.

@MairiaM: Hello Maria, Thanks for your support question. I would like to request you to put back our theme name Theme: Simple Catch in your Footer. This is not allowed when using Free Theme. This is the only means of recognition for providing theme, updates and support all free. If you want to remove the footer Theme name then you have to use Simple Catch Pro Theme..

I just check in your slider and see that you are using small image that is why it is on the middle. You should use the large image with minimum width 976px.

Second, if you are talking about the dot effect on the slider image then you can disable it from “Appearance => Featured Post Slider => Slider Effect Options”. Then click on “Disable Slider Background Effect” and save.

I’m having the same problem with my slider using your Simple Catch theme. Any suggestions? (as seen here: http://www.readingforpleasure.net/)

Thanks in advance,
Maria

@donestefano71: Great that you solved it. Now are you talking about menu. Then right now your using default menu options by WordPress itself. It’s not manual, it’s from function wp_nav_menu() http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_nav_menu . If you need to customize this then you have to use action filter.

[donestefano71]

ok i need to change something similar to this :
echo "<li $current><a href='".get_settings('home')."'>Home</a></li>";

and transform to the code i posted before

[donestefano71]

again sorry but the code is changing let’s try so:

echo "<li $current><a href='".bloginfo('url')."'>Home</a></li>";

echo “<li $current>Home“;

[donestefano71]

Sorry Sakin. I saw that the code for the possible solution for the permalink problem is not complete. This is the code:

echo “<li $current>Home“;
echo “<li $current>Home“;

Thanks for your answer and sorry for don’t explain my problem well.
The issue is that i’m using Qtranslate for a multilingual site.
The plugin is well integrated in catch everest-pro pages and post, giving the opportunity to the developer of write in the editor the text for each language he using. Switching the languages in the selector on the page, automatically switch the title and content of pages and posts. The problem is with the title and content of featured image slider. In qtranslate, when you don’t have the fields or options to put texts in other language, you have the possibility of use quick tags like this ([:es] Bienvenidos [:it] Benvenuti [:en] Welcome ).
In the support forum of qtranslate i found lot of people saying that in this case in possible use the “qtrans_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage(the….);” functions for the variable you want to translate.
but i have some doubt of how use it in catch themes.
I’ve tried with stuff like this:

(in contents.php)

<div class=”entry-container”>

<header class=”entry-header”>
<h1 class=”entry-title”>” title=”<?php echo esc_attr( sprintf( __( ‘Permalink to %s’, ‘catcheverest’ ), the_title_attribute( ‘echo=0’ ) ) ); ?>” rel=”bookmark”><?php qtrans_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage (the_title); ?></h1>
<?php if ( ‘post’ == get_post_type() ) : ?>
<div class=”entry-meta”>
<?php catcheverest_header_meta(); ?>
</div><!– .entry-meta –>
<?php endif; ?>
</header><!– .entry-header –>

and it works partially. The strange thing was that the switching of languages only work after save some changing in theme options panel. So i spent all night searching in your code and i see that after changes in the panel you send a delete transient command. Then i saw in your catcheverest-functions.php the function for the fetured image slider that have the delete transient but is // commented. I activate that and my translation works but in a local test site. When i tried to do the same on the online site where i´m using a child theme it looks like the catch-everest functions.php don’t work in the child. So i put the command
delete_transient( ‘catcheverest_image_sliders’ );
in home.php and it works.
Now i think you’ll wondering why i’m still bothering you if it looks like i solved the problem.
First of all ’cause i want to share this with the community.
Second i don’t really know if i’m doing it well, i’m newby with php and i’m afraid that this is not the right way of modify the files.
Third most important and very big issue, i can’t tell the qtranslate plugin a different homepage for each language so if i click on HOME when i’m in english the site go back to inicio in spanish that is the homepage.
I saw in a blog that in another kind of theme, a guy solved the issue by changing this code: echo “<li $current>Home“;
with this:
echo “<li $current>Home“;
Do we have something similar in catch-theme and in case of yes where i can find it??

thanks for your help and sorry for be too large

@donestefano71: I am sorry I don’t understand your requirement.

About the excerpt. We have added option to modify the excerpt in catcheverest-functions.php file. You can look at functions catcheverest_excerpt_desired() and others. It’s well commented, so you will understand.

@Fenanxxl: sorry recent post in slider mean. Featured Category Slider, this is only there in Catch Box Pro version. You need to upgrade. See this for more about features in Catch Box Pro theme http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-box-pro/

[Fenanxxl]

Hello Sakin,

i really love your them Catch Box. It is perfect for my primary school! I have a question about the “Featured post slider”. I would like to make it a “Recent post slider”. Is that possible? So that when collegue’s of mine make a new post, it automatically ends up in the ‘Featured post slider’.

Thank you for making this wonderfull theme.

Greetings,

@saadghauri: Yes, I am from Catch Themes. Thanks for your appreciation.

I see that you have added the Featured Header image instead of Header Image. If you add the header Image from “Appearance => Header”. Then the css that you have added will work fine. But you have added image from Featured Header Image so in this case, you have to hide the header area by adding in the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

#hgroup-wrap {
    display: none;
}

Hi Sakin,
I know you don’t give support for qtranslate issue, but i would like to ask something about Catch Everest Pro. I want use Qtranslate quick tags or tags in the titles and content (excerpt??) of the featured slider and i think that adding some code in my child theme i can make it work, but i can’t manage to find the function who generate the slider. Googleing i’ve found various post talking about this and i think that by adding codes like the following i can do it:
if(function_exists(‘qtrans_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage’)) $post_excerpt = qtrans_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage($post_excerpt);
or
if(function_exists(‘qtrans_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage’)) $more_link = qtrans_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage($more_link);

the problem is that i don’t know which are the right names i have to use instead of ($post_excerpt) and ($more_link) for example, and where i have to insert this code, if should be enough put it in my child theme functions.php file..
Any suggestion?? thanks in advance for your help.

my under construction web page is http://www.mexiconuvole.com

@images98: Yes you can increase or decrease number of slides though “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Slider Options”. There you can type in Number of Slides.

It will be Featured Post Slider in Free Theme and Featured Slider in Pro and Premium themes.

[images98]

Is there a way to add a fourth slider?

[Sakin]

@Ashkanpasha: It looks like you haven’t added in the post ID. Can you send me the links to your posts that you want to add in the slider then I will tell you the ID that you need to add in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider”

[Sakin]

@Ashkanpasha: You are doing good. I just check in your site and the slider is working fine. To make your clear, the slider only slides after loading the site content. This helps you to load the content faster.

[Sakin]

@saadghauri: You can just add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

.featured-image img, .entry-content img, .comment-content img, .widget img, img.header-image, .author-avatar img, img.wp-post-image {
    box-shadow: none;
}
