Just one more thing:

We would love to have the same font on our header images as we have on our featured slider’s sub title:
– can we change the font on the header images?
– How can we see what the font of the sub title on our feature slider is?

Can we change the text on the button that appears on the featured slide when we want it link to a certain page? Now the link says ‘continue reading’, but we want to state something like ‘our products’.

Again thanks for your help!

Yes, thank you anyway. Now I have another problem. I tried to add a new post to the featured slider and it works well when I look at the site logged in the administrator but nothing changes when I check it as a user, it looks like I haven’t made any changes. I tried to refresh and save the new version multiple times but it doesn’t seem to work.

@ravanh: I will look into the issue with the order of featured page slider and get back to you soon.

Regarding the French translation, since we do not know french, those translations are not done by us and are done by our customers like you. You could contribute to translating the theme in french and we will put your name as a contributor for the translation.
All you need to do is download free software from http://poedit.net/ and open it then. Edit a translation and then select fr_FR file and open. Then you will see the English text on left side and its translation to the right. You can correct previous translations as well as add new translations to the empty ones. After completing translating the words you can email us the .po file and we will update the translation in the next theme update.

Let me know if this helps you out!
Kind Regards,
Skandha

Any news on this? I also noticed that when the Featured Slider is set to Pages, the order of the slides seems to be reversed. Slide number 1 comes last instead of first…

Thank you.

Hi Skandha,

What I should like has been solved voor 75% by using featured images.

Where I am looking for is the following:
In the featured content should be four featured content in the final version of the website.
Two of them are “normal” pages and two of them are pages with lated posts. And I should like to have for all 4 the possibility of a “read more link” and an image above the text.
Now I use the featured image functionality and then it isn’t possible to have an excerpt and a read more link.

And if I use the featured content functionality then I have to use an image for a page to get the image in the featured content. But…. I use a featured slider and then using an extra image as featured image gives an ugly effect.I am not able to make the featured picture for a latest post page so that it is only visible to the featured content on the front page and not on the latest post page.

Addition question: is it possible to upload a picture to you, then it is easier to explain what I mean.

Kind regards

Hans

This should change your Permalink to:=> Go to. Let me know if this works out!

@umbra989: Yes, sections here mean featured content, featured slider, hero content, posts and so on and you can change their order using the Section Sorter feature in the theme options.

@ravanh: I think it’s got to do with the image loader. So, can you go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider” and change the value of “Image Loader”

[Sugran]

There is no post option under ‘Featured Slider’, it shows -> Content Alignment for #1, 2, 3…

[Sakin]

Hello Chris,

Sorry, there is no option to add social icons to the header right. There is option to enable social icons in Featured Slider from “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider”. Further, you can add social icons in widget areas from “Appearance => Widgets” and then drag and drop “CT: Social Icons” widget to your desire widget area.

Sakin

Hi Skandha,
of course I use a child theme…and now I added the function to load the page at the featured-slider.php to my child theme functions.php.
My idea was to buy the Pro theme, support your company and get pro functionalities…to be able to setup an page as content for the featured slider with HTML, that will be shown at the website.

But for me it looks, like I don´t get any extra functions with this Pro theme… The font, that could be loaded/configured at the customizer, I loaded at the functions.php of the child theme (free version of Rock Star). Different colors could be changed via the childs CSS file.

[hoiung]

skandha: for clarity, I’m referring to the Media Heading “randomise uploaded heads” and not the theme options “Featured Sliders”! Though having the option for both would be super useful 🙂

[Skandha]

@hoiung: Thank you for the suggestion. I will forward this to our development team. Yes, you can activate slider for mobiles and header video for desktops. Activate featured slider on your site and I will provide you the CSS Code to make this possible.

Kind Regards,
Skandha

@sugran: To make slider text show up on other pages
Go to => Appearance => Customize => Additional CSS and add the following CSS Code.

body:not(.home) .slider-content-wrapper .entry-container, .home .custom-header-content {
	position:fixed;
	top:140px;
}
body:not(.home) .section-content-wrap .entry-container-wrap .entry-summary {
	margin:0;
	font-size:18px;
}
body:not(.home) .section-content-wrap .entry-container-wrap .entry-title {
	font-size:28px;
}

To change the order in which the slider images are displayed.
Go to => Appearance => Customize => Theme Options => Featured Slider => In Post #1 select the page you want to display as the first slide then in Post #2 the post you want to display after first slide and so on.

Let me know if this helps you out!
Kind Regards,
Skandha

@orthosoc:

2) To disable the Featured Image link in Featured Content
Go to => Appearance => Customize => Additional CSS and add the following CSS Code.

.featured-content-thumbnail.post-thumbnail {
	pointer-events:none;
}

3) You have enabled Logo Slider as post type but you have not selected any posts to show as logo slider. Please select some posts. Its better if you use Image Type as Logo Slider to show your logos.

4)For that
Go to => Appearance => Customize => Additional CSS and add the following CSS Code.

.entry-title {
	hyphens:none !important;
}

5) To learn CSS Codings I recommend you W3Schools.

Let me know if this helps you out!

@sapana Yes, that disables the built-in Featured Slider. I’m now able to add my own to my Home Page. However, it appears below the Featured content. Is there a way to place it at the top of the page, before all of the other content? Thanks.

[tikaram]

@richardmin : Please go through the theme instruction at https://catchthemes.com/themes/clean-fotografie-pro/#theme-instructions and locate featured slider. Follow the instructions and you will be able to get your desired sliders. Let me know if you have any more issues.

Tikaram

@localgeek: You can disable the Featured slider. Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Slider=> Enable Slider On and select Disabled. And the you can you can use your desired Slider. The theme may or may not be compatible with the Slider you use. If you face the issue then customization may be required. If so, I recommend you to hire a customizer.

Kind Regards
