Hi Skandha,

No problems, I did try various changes as prompted but gave up.

They say “if you have a problem, sleep on it”

I woke up this morning with an idea of why the old images worked, but the newer versions did not.

I had loaded the old slides in the smaller size I wanted (620 x302).

However, when I checked the New Slides, I had uploaded them in the original size (1920 x 1080) and then SCALED them to 602 in the media library.

Although in the “Featured Image” of each page they showed as 602 it seems the slider was using the original size.

I deleted all the larger slides. Uploaded another set in the 602 size and it worked.

It would seem the slider is ignoring the SCALING in Media Library.

Thanks for all your help and hope my revelation helps your end.

/* To remove the text of featured slider */

@kirti: You can add new sections to the homepage by enabling sections like Featured Content, Featured Slider, Portfolio, Service and so on.
To disable recent posts in homepage.
Go to => Appearance => Customize => Homepage Settings => A Static Page

Yes! this is great. Thanks a lot.

Just one more question concerning the featured slider: it turns out that on some screens the image does not display properly, but stretched. Looks like it is on internet explorer and / or larger screens.
Is there a way to fix this? I could not find it in the other support threats.

Thanks in advance.

@skandha: thanks I understand! great! this would be the section order we would like by updating the child theme:

(top to bottom)
featured content
portfolio section
services section
logo slider section
skills section
testimonial section
hero content section
stats section
slider section

@fireflywebs: Can you please remove all the code you have added for featured slider.
Go to=> Appearance=> Customize=> Additional CSS and add the following CSS code.

.cycle-pager{
display: none;
}
.cycly-prev{
display:none !important;
}
.cycle-next{
display: none! important;
}

Let me know if this works out!

@evdel: You don’t seem to have enabled Featured Slider on your site. Please enable Featured Slider so that I can help you change the font on header image same as that of sub title of the slider.

You can see the font used on featured slider using the Inspect Element tool of your browser.

Kind Regards,
Skandha

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…

[pelinsu2010]

Hello again,

I found Featured Slider options. But still i need use featured slider to header area. Also can i change arrow and dot options in featured slider?

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…

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.

Regards,
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.
