@karinschultz: By choosing “featured image slider” you can add upload image of your own choice, also control title, content and links all these optional. So, if you choose Featured Image Slider you can link to any page, post, category or even link outside your site. So even you can just add image without link. This give you total freedom.
@rawb_in: Yes, I am aware of this issue and we have also send patch update to WordPress.org but they haven’t made it live yet. So, you cannot update at this time automatically. But there is trick to do it manual update.
Just activate any default theme like Twenty Twelve Theme.
Then delete the theme Catch Everest.
Then you can download the theme from http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/catch-everest.0.1.5.1.zip
Then you can manually install theme through “Appearance => Themes => Install Themes”. Click on Upload and then upload the zip file you have downloaded and activate it.
After this you can change the settings.
Note: You don’t have to worry what will happen to data after deleting the theme. It will not be deleted. It will be restored once you active the uploaded theme.
@jsvoboda: The text in the featured post slider is the Title of the Post and the Excerpt of the post, which is auto from the content. But in WordPress you have excerpt box in the post from which you can further control the content. More about excerpt box http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/excerpts/
@nenepretty85: Great it’s solve. Thanks and you too have a nice day.
@sakin
Thanks. The problem is solved.
I found out! It was an option I changed into the permalinks! Sorry if I made you loose your time 😉
Have a nice day!
Hi, Under slider options I see that there are several choices. What I would like is to have a slider which can display both page and post images. If I set this to “featured image slider” will this do it? I’m assuming that you by clicking on the image it will get you to the page or post?
Thanks,
Karin
@Sakin
Still curious, is there any way to determine where the text is placed on the featured slider post?
Thanks!
My links on my menu bar are extremely close together. How do I evenly space them? Also is there a way to make the featured slider smaller, so when you are looking at the homepage you can see the headline on the bottom without scrolling down?

p.s. this happened after I updated the theme.
Hi,
My ‘Featured Post Slider’ doesn’t show up on my homepage. I followed all the directions on how to feature specific posts…
Theme Options> Featured Post Slider> Enable Homepage > Inserted Post IDs + Featured Images
But, it still doesn’t show up after saving and refreshing. For some reason it does show when I choose ‘Enable Entire Site’ for the ‘Featured Post Slider.’ Please refer to: nate1design.com. I only want it on my homepage.
Please help.
Thanks!
@Eugene: Thanks for your appreciation.
Catch Everest Free theme only have option to add Featured Post Slider, so it has to be post not page. But if you upgrade to pro version there you have option to choose from Featured Post Slider, Page Slider, Category Slider and Image Slider. See this for more details http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest-pro/
But yes, you have option to hide the featured post slider post from homepage post through “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Featured Post Slider Options”. Then check Exclude Slider post from Homepage posts and save it.
Hi!
First of all I would like to thank for such a nice theme. Great job! 🙂
As I got in this topic to replace the Everest picture I need to set up a Post and to add ID picture in a featured post slider options. It works great but all my posts are now publishing on the title page. I’ve tried to add page’s (not post’s) ID instead but it didn’t work out.
Is there a way to do it via page’s ID or to add the post and to ‘hide’ it somehow (not to appear it on the front page).
Here is the link: http://standrewsmoscow.org/stdev/install/wordpress/
Thank you in advance!
Hi there,
Please help me. I have a strange problem with the Catch Everest Theme. The width of my images in the featured post slider changes without me touching anything. It seems the width of the slider images changes randomly and they all become shorter. The width of top part of my website where the logo should be, changes randomly too. The width becomes longer. After couple of days or hours everything becomes to the normal sizes I had and this cycle continues.
Please help me, I am so frustrated and I really don’t know what to do.
Thanks
@K8e: Thanks, now I can see your site.
1. One of my featured slider pics won’t stay the size I specified. The first picture is perfect. The second one isn’t. Please help?
— Your first image size is good but your send image size is small. Replace the the larger image and it will be fine.
2. Can I add a slideshow of pictures in my gallery page? Otherwise if I can’t, how can I put several pictures on the page without it looking organized. Would like it in Rows if can’t add a slideshow.
— To add slideshow of picture in your gallery pages. You have to install plugin. Try searching for gallery and image plugins at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
3. How can I get the text codes near the footer to go away?
— Which text codes are you talking about?
@danskvand: Yes after you update. Please change any value in Theme Options panel and click on save. Anything so that it clear the cache in Function set from Theme Options panel. Then refresh your browser and it will be fine.
@sakin
I just did, but the problem is still there. The current version running is 0.1.5.
@gaetano_torrisi: Maybe that is loading issue. Can you let me know when you don’t see the post slider.
Still curious, is there any way to determine where the text is placed on the featured slider post?
Thanks!
