How do you make disable the linking of the Featured Slider Text Box? Right now if I click the text box it takes me to another page unlike the live preview which it goes nowhere.
@kalalilys: If you are using Catch Everest Free theme then you have only option to add Featured Post Slider but if you Upgrade to Pro version then you have option to use Featured Post Slider or Featured Page Slider or Featured Category Slider or Featured Image Slider.
Here goes the instruction to add the Featured Post Slider
1. First create the Post and don’t forget to add in the Featured Image in the post as this image is used in the slider. To add featured image see this http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image
2. Then get the ID of the post. When you edit your post or write a post. you will see the id in your browser address bar. You will also be able to get the post ID from All Post in your WordPress Dashboard. But still if you cannot find it then you can use this plugin to view it http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/catch-ids/
3. Then go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider”. Add in the post id. Make sure you only add in the ID number.
I am loving the theme, but having problems with trying to figure out how to use the feature slider. I have looked through some of the other support responses and I *think* I am doing all the right things.
I have tried linking the image from another site outside of my host page, it didn’t seem to work.
I have tried just using a smaller image size.
I did make sure that I have added the image as “Featured Image” in the post and when in the Theme Options added the URL of the page, I think that is correct? I didn’t see where to simply put the Page ID, just the URL.
So I am not sure what I am missing? I have only one post on there public, one private because I am just trying to get a banner (logo banner) to be within the feature slide. Does that make sense? Here is the site http://www.cakecooksglutenfree.com
THanks in advance for the help.
@jsvoboda: can you send me your site URL so that I can check in and send you the css code.
How do you edit the text of the feature image slider?
I am not using the post function but just images. All the text is alligned to the left and I was wondering how I can choose where the text goes for each separate image on the slider?
Thanks
Ok. I assume custom code and created a child theme. Any tips?
Also in the default home page I have the excerpt layout selected. And any image I have from a post appears full size, as big as any image in the featured slider above it. Is it possible to use custom styles to reduce the size of an image appearing in a post excerpt on the home page? I have seen a references to wp-post-image but I’m not sure if it’s the correct one or on how to apply it
Hi,
I managed to hide the text excerpt appearing in the featured slider by enabling the Excerpt field in the post view and inserting an empty space.
Is there a way to get the subheading to appear without needing to build a custom theme?
Hi,
I have just enabled the featured slider option. Is there an optimal image size for the slider in Catch Box free?
Also I’m using the Subheading plugin from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subheading/
Insert the following in content.php & content-single.php
<?php if (function_exists(‘the_subheading’)) { the_subheading(‘<h4 class=”subtitle_head”>’, ‘</h4>’); } ?>
I’d like to use the subheading in the slider as well. So the Title value, Subheading value and then “Continue Reading” is this possible?
deleting, sorry added a reply to the wrong post
@Bethann: You are using old version of Catch Everest Pro where there was bug in Featured Image Slider. Please udpdate to latest version 1.1.1 and change any value in Theme Options to clear the cache and your featured slider will work fine.
To remove the white space between logo image and menu, just add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS”
`
#site-logo { padding-top: 20px; }
#hgroup-wrap { padding-bottom: 20px; }
`
@cre8ve1: Sorry navigation cannot be moved up. You can add the slider from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider”
See the theme instruction at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest/
@rawb_in: To decrease the white space between the Footer Widgets and Featured Post Slider. Decrease the padding top in the following css and add it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
`.blog #main { padding-top: 40px; }`
Actually the footer widget is to be show in all pages. But the following css will help you to hide it in other pages and will only show in your homepage.
`
#footer-sidebar { display: none; }
.blog #footer-sidebar { display: block; }

Hi Sakin,
I’ve set the slider to Featured Image, enable on home page.
Under image, I’ve put in the url from my media library which is set to 976×313 in the thumbnail editor.
No link. Didn’t check off, “to open in new window”. The image comes in in the proper proportions but small (maybe it works on mobile). I know the images work correctly in the post, so is there another step I am missing? I am using Post Thumbnail editor and also resized images in Picasa.
Site is http://www.iwritegreatcopy.com. Thanks for your help.

@rawb_in: Yes you can decrease the white space between the Footer Widgets and Featured Post Slider. That is not a problem. But you cannot remove show footer widget only in homepage. Footer means it will be on all page. But there is a css trick that you can use to hide it.
So, first send me your site URL.
Thanks Sakin! It worked.
Do you know how I can post the footer only on my homepage? I have three widgets that I just want to show on the homepage, not all the pages.
You can download from here http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/catch-everest/developers/ . You will see the list of version files.
Hi Sakin, Great! Thanks for the clarification. Would you recommend editing these to fit the slider proportions in an image editor first (i used picasa) before importing into wordpress media and from there set featured image slider? I had some issues with 1 of my images in the past, this resolved the issue.
Thanks,
Karin
By any chance do you have the zip file for Catch Everest before the recent update? It was working fine with the past Catch Everest. Please let me know. Thanks!
Hi Sakin,
Thanks for the help. I deleted the theme and uploaded the zip file, but it’s still not showing on the homepage. Also, do you know how to make the footer widgets on only the homepage?
Thanks
