@Casadima: See this forum thread for how to add featured post slider http://catchthemes.com/support-forum/topic/featured-post-slider-not-showing-up/
For controlling number of posts in slide. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Add Slider Options” and type in the Number of Slides.
@Sakin: I’m having the same issue. How did you resolve this? I didn’t understand your post about the condition issue. My post page having the issue: http://www.kawabe.ca/index.php/lorem-ipsum/
Thank you!
@Haleydanielsc1: Great it is working for you .
@@chandrathompson: Thanks and I have been able to fix it. There was condition issue between is_home and is_front_page
Just one point of distinction. I’m not talking about the slider, which I have enabled and use on the homepage.
Hi Sakin, thanks again. I know it takes the content of the post, but my question is if you can add new content into the picture when shown on the header page. I guess I’ll have to find a different slider with more options. Thanks for trying to help me out!
@xray is this working now? today i tried to add pages to the slider. although i set the featured image and everything, but nothing was displayed. tried it for 3 pages got the same result in all. it would be great if pages can be shown in slider 🙂
@hserna20: Sorry I cannot see your site as it says under construction. I think you are missing to add in the Featured Image in your Post. Just add the featured image in the post see this http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image
Then only add in the Post ID in the Featured Post Slider options.
@runningmedics and @Haleydanielsc1: Ok I am going to explain in detail. This Catch Box Free theme only have Featured Post Slider. This means you can only add in your posts as Featured Slider. You cannot use the Page.
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. But 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.
But if you don’t want to use the post slider. Then I have good news for you as Catch Box Pro is in final testing phase and will be releasing any day in this week. Which has easy to user Featured Image Slider. Also you can use Featured Page Slider or Featured Category Slider.
@smemflynn: there is good news for this options. As Catch Everest Pro is releasing any day this week. Our team in doing final testing.
In pro version, there is two option that you might find cool.
1. Featured Slider: You can choose from Featured Image Slider, Featured Post Slider, Featured Page Slider and Featured Category Slider.
2. Featured Image: There is option in Theme Options and in individual post to hide the featured image, or show the image like in Slider, small or full original size.
Yes for now hiding from the theme option is good option.
@crisfilip: Yes you need to select with slider you want to use. As there is option to choose between “Featured Image Slider” and “Featured Post Slider”.
Hello there,
*Love* your catch theme. I look forward to the premium version and the ability to link the featured image slider to pages as well as posts.
I’m experiencing the same problem with ie8 and the image header not displaying. I’ve tried the header in jpg, tif, and png formats and none of them display (only white space). The image displays correctly in chrome and firefox. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Here is the link to my website in development:

Hello,
I am having the same problem.

Thank you
Just to clarify, I know you need to assign a featured image in order for the featured slider to show the post, but in the post itself, the featured image is totally cropped so doesn’t look well.
Could someone instruct me as to how to comment out the featured image as part of the post layout? Or else change the size of it so the full image is used.
Thanks a million!
Hello,
The Catch Everest slider shows up just fine, but when I add the post ID and save nothing but the arrows to the slider show up. The photos from the posts I am trying to add are no where to be found.

OK! I understand! Just to click on ” Featured Image Slider” and appears others slider options…
