@mloga94: Don’t edit anything on the theme core file. Now you need to re-upload the theme from FTP and it will be fine.

Hi,
My featured Slider in WP 3.5.1 was not showing in a dashboard, so according to one forum i add this code
if ( function_exists( ‘add_theme_support’ ) ) {
add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ );
set_post_thumbnail_size( 150, 150, true ); // default Post Thumbnail dimensions (cropped)
// additional image sizes
// delete the next line if you do not need additional image sizes
add_image_size( ‘category-thumb’, 300, 9999 ); //300 pixels wide (and unlimited height)
}
and now i cannot get into my dashboard , this is an error message i am getting

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/mloga94/public_html/wp-content/themes/simple-catch/functions.php on line 135

This is my site : http://www.logdeluxe.com

I am having the same issue. I have set a static Front Page and set my “Blog” page to be the posts page.

Everything seems to work great except that the Slider is on my “Blog” page too. In Theme Options> Featured Post Slider > Slider Options I have set to Homepage/Frontpage only.

My site is stephenandangela.com

Thank you!

5. How can I make a Header slide show?

You said:

— To add the Featured Post Slider. See this
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

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. But if you cannot find it then you can use this plugin to view it http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/catch-ids/

Then go to “Appearance => Featured Slider => Slider Options”. Add in the post id.

————————————————————————————————————–

I am sorry, I don’t understand the explanation. Let me try to rephrase my question (English is my second languish). I am not referring to “Slide Post”, but to a Slide Image Header. I have inserted 8 photos in the Custom Heather Section (with the correct header size) and selected Show A Different Image On Each page. but what I want these images to constantly change every few seconds even if the visitor is staying in one single page. Is there a code you could give me to place in the Custom CSS Style, that will help me achieve what I am looking for? Or perhaps this function is available in the Pro version and I will only need to select it?

————————————————————————————————————–

Regarding going Pro: Will I loose the Custom CSS codes I already have
entered? I am not good at this technology and it has taking me a while
to get to where I am then loose everything due to my very limited
knowledge.

I have already been locked out and cannot log in back from my house
internet, I guess due to the amount of mistakes I made trying to
figure out how to login. Any chance I could get access again please? Also, I cannot
reply from my iPhone because the Submit button on your forum does not
show on the iPhone screen.

Thank you so much in advance, your support is excellent!

@Arhela: To add Featured Post Slider in Catch Everest Theme see this http://catchthemes.com/support-forum/topic/slider-issues/

the main page has different layout option to make where you have slider, homepage headlines, and homepage featured content. It is different then normal blog.

[Sakin]

@cheri.schneider: To exclude slider post from the homepage blog, there is option in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Featured Post Slider Options”. There you have to check “Exclude Slider post from Homepage posts?” and save it.

To control the slider display, just change that in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Slider Options”.

Hi, I think I have a simillar question and I didn’t understand what to do from these answers. I want to know

1. How to change and disable pictures of Everest, Nepal wheel.. etc and the text which came in the package with them? I want to put  my pictures instead of these.

2. When I choose Catch Everest, I imagine that my posts will be shown like main page. with slider. I can’t find a way to do that…

I already read forum/topic/featured-post-slider-not-showing-up/… and I’ll try to follow instructions there, but are they enough if I want the images of my features to e shown on main page?The other things are great and I like them. I’m very satisfied from the compability with mobile phones – really great…

@acgtMedia: Jquery is not only used to slider.

For slider its jquery cycle jquery.cycle.all.min.js and slider script catcheverest-slider.js . Which will be automatically remove when you disable slider from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Slider Options”

[Sakin]

@Jahn: See this theme instruction http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest-pro/

Check your setting in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider” for slider. Looks like you haven’t added any slider details. In free it was loading default slider.

[Sakin]

@rsolosky: WoW you asked the question and solved it. Now answering other. Thanks a lot for your effort. This is why I like providing Free themes.

Yes, Please follow the rsolosky suggestion of creating featured post slider. Also there is Theme Instructions for more about themes http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest/

[Sakin]

@Luis:
1. Remove “Powered by WordPress / Catch Theme” from footer.
— We don’t allow to remove Footer information in Free Theme as this is only the source of our recognition for providing Free theme and Free Support. But, if you want to remove it, please upgrade to Catch Box Pro theme and then you will have Footer Editor Options in Theme Options panel to edit or remove the footer text.

2. Navigation menu not always stays in one line. It changes with
different search engines. I used this code from one of your posts and it helped but it was not a final solution: #branding ul.menu a { padding: 0 1.11em; }
— Yes we know about that, different browser render the font and margin differently so it cannot be 100% same. You just adjust the padding as per your need.

3. Capital letters not working on iPhone/android devises. Shows Home,
in stead of HOME, I used this code from one of your posts and it helped but it was not a final solution since it does not work in iPhone/Android: #branding ul.menu a { text-transform: uppercase; }
— Add the following CSS in “Custom CSS” box in Theme Options panel.
.tinynav { text-transform: uppercase; }

4. iPhone/Android showing Green Background frame on the right instead
of the bottom (as in the rest of the site) on the pages where I have
a contact form. Something similar happens when I was trying to fill out this actual form, from an iPhone, I could not get to the Submit button.
— the form you have added in your contact page is not responsive so it is having issue in mobile devices.

5. How can I make a Header slide show? I did not understand the video another person posted.
— To add the Featured Post Slider. See this
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

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. But if you cannot find it then you can use this plugin to view it http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/catch-ids/

Then go to “Appearance => Featured Slider => Slider Options”. Add in the post id.

6. Twitter link says “Forbidden (Rate Limit Exceeded)”. How to correct
this issue?
— I don’t know about this. I think you are talking about the widget or plugin. If you are talking about plugin then as the Plugin support forum.

7. How to change text color of a particular widget?
— For this you need to know about the CSS ID and Class and then add the css for that particular ID and classes.

@ieRia_chen: Please check the Theme Instruction for Catch Box Theme http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-box and also it has been answer in this support forum http://catchthemes.com/support-forum/topic/featured-post-slider-not-showing-up/

I hope this will solve your issues.

[rsolosky]

What helped me is to realize that this theme is designed as a blog site rather than a website, so much of the logic for functionality revolves around a blog post.

The slider images come from the featured image from an individual blog post.  So create a blog post, set the featured image and then look at the number associated with it in the url (in the address bar of your browser the entire url is displayed, you’ll see post & then a number use just the number).  It is best to have all these images be the same size, otherwise your engagement area (slider) jumps up & down.

Now go to Appearance > Theme Options > Featured Post Slider > Featured Post Slider Options and under the post number enter just that number from the post in the url.  It will call up that specific image on your home page in the order you assign it.  The heading for the image is your blog post name and you can change the caption by entering your copy in the excerpt box in the edit post section.  If you don’t see excerpt you can turn it on through screen options by checking the box.

Finally, you can eliminate the featured post images which fall underneath the main image, by disabling the Homepage Featured Content under Homepage Settings >Homepage Featured Content Options.

If this is unclear or you have more questions, I can try and help, just hit me back.

Hi,

 

in your posts page select the post you want to use a featured image with and then on the right hand side below your categories window you will see a link called set featured image. Click this link and select an image from your library or upload one from your pc.

You may choose to edit the image if you want.

then go to your main post page and make a note of the ID number for the post you have just uploaded a featured image in.

Then in your backend go to appearance > featured slider > slider options

in the featured col# 1 box enter the ID number of the post and click save

your featured post should now be working

Featured Image Not Showing

[ieRia_chen]

how can you did this, my featured slider don’t work.

[dreamydayz]

Hi Sakin,

 

Thanks very much, that worked a treat! Just have to play with one of the images but that sorted it right out.

regards

dreamy

[Sakin]

Hi Dreamy,

The Featured Post Slider take the title, excerpt, and featured image from the post.

So you need to adjust your title and excerpt text.

You can control the overall “Excerpt Length” by typing the number of Words in “Appearance => Theme Options => Excerpt Length in Words”.

But if you like to control the excerpt text of only the post in slider then you can use the excerpt box under your post editor. See this for more details about excerpt http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/excerpts/

[dreamydayz]

hi Sakin,

 

Thanks for the reply and your absoulutely correct but i’ve been looking at the image slider and it actually seems like the text is causing the screen to constantly adjust. Is it possible to control the amount of text that is previewed in order to stop thes jerking effect.

 

many thanks

dreamy
