Hi Sakin,
I am also new on WP, I used HTML before. I liked your amaizing theme Catch Everest Ver. 0.1.3.
I tried to change the featured post sliders by my (3) ones I have but, just shows the three dots on it and rotating following the time for it. But no images at all. Even I used the post ID’s.
Please need your help.
Thanks.
@neh: You got mail. please respond.
First.. I love the Catch Box Pro theme.
This thread was helpful.. in that I didn’t understand what the featured image slider option allowed.. I was going to ask about providing a way to have the featured slider work for both pages and post.
In the meantime, I looked into the Quick Page/Post redirect plug-in.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-pagepost-redirect-plugin/
Then I saw I can accomplish this using the featured image slider – I can link to a page or post. The only problem is that the post you link to cannot be excluded from the home page.
To get around this, I can use the category inclusion option. I create a category called “blog” or “home” and only posts that have this category show up on the home page. Then, I categorize every post with this category unless I am showing it in the featured slider.
Text over image:
In another forum post, someone was asking about text overlayed on the image. I think you may have misunderstood his question (or I misunderstood it). He wanted a way to have the text overlayed on the featured slider image. Not below it the way it does not.
I would like the same thing.. basically a way to position the title and excerpt over the featured image in the slider. It should have a semi-transparent background for readability. Just a thought. For now, I will make that part of the image.
Thanks again.
Hi Sakin,
I have a child theme but I did not change anything yet. Seems the slider photos dissapear from time to time, but when I notice the are gone I go to the menu options and click save menu and they show up again…
@Huser: There was conflict with WPML plugin and we have fixed that.
@Huser: You got mail. Please check in and reply.

Hi, I’m Cristian from Italy, I bought “Catch Mustang”, but I can’t change slider images and slider text. This is what I see on my control pannel:
Featured Slider–>Slider Options
1) Select Slider Type
2) Enable Slider
3) Number of Slides
4) Transition Effect
5) Transition Delay
6) Transition Length
And anything else…
Thank you!
@Dr.Forcier: So now you are able to change the featured post slider?
@marieke456: Yes the Featured POst slider will take the image, title and excerpt form the post.
@Julien: You will have option to remove the featured post slide and replace it with featured image slide. This option will be available on Catch Everest Pro theme which we are launching next week.
@classictheaterguild: I think you are talking about featured Post Slider.
Check out the Theme Instruction http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest/ .See this from Theme Instruction page
How to add Featured Post Slider
Currently this theme only support Posts as the Featured Slider. To add Featured Slider, follow these basic steps:
1. Click on Appearance -> Theme Options -> Featured Post Slider from your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Click on Slider Options to select various slider options like enable slider, number of slides, transition effect, transition delay and transition length
3. Then Click on Featured Post Slider Options and Add in the Post ID’s in Featured Slider Posts.
4. Click on Save button.
Note:
* When you add the Post Id\’s, make sure you have added in the Featured Image in your Post. See this for Featured Image http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image
* If you are unable to find the post ID then you can install the Catch IDs Plugin to find the Post IDs. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/catch-ids/
If you still have problem then this video about our other theme Simple Catch might help you as this theme also uses Featured Post Slider. Similar concept.
Maybe this video will help you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oiov0L4blIw
Great template. Can’t wait to see the pro version.
1. I’d like to modify the layout defaults. Appearance>Layout Options> Right/Left/No Sidebar dimensions. They work for most of my pages on the site, but on this page, http://www.nakadavfx.com/?page_id=51 , I’d like to widen the No Sidebar to utilize the full width so there are less carriage returns (currently I’m abbreviating but I don’t want to).
And on this page, http://www.nakadavfx.com/?page_id=31 , I want to decrease the Right Sidebar width for the same reasons.
Since the 3 defaults work for most of the site, I’d like to modify only these particular pages.
2. Also, in the Featured Slider Post, is there a way for the title and sub-text to disappear upon a mouse-rollover. http://www.nakadavfx.com/. And on mouse-click, open in a gallery (I like the gallery overtaking the screen with the option of the full rez button)
3. http://www.nakadavfx.com/?page_id=8 , here I have embedded vimeo clips. I’d like to have 2 columns of videos. I can shrink them down but can’t figure out how to make them be side-by-side.
I have gone through the entire support forum before posting, sorry if I missed these somewhere.
thanks,
ken
Hi Sahin,
I would remove the featured post slider and replace with a slider with picture and content. What is the procedure to follow ? Do you have any pluggins to advise me?
Thank you in advance for your reply.
@Sakin Thanks for your help on this. Still not quite there… I can see that my posts have IDs, 1 thru 10, but if I add a post number to the Featured Slider Post field, then no image shows despite having an image in the post. I’ve tried adding eg. “10” and also “#10”
Hi Sakin,
Thanks again, I have seen this video wich was very helpfull when building my website. My question though is if you can add text in the picture on the featured slider, not below it.
So I’m wondering if the content of the featured slider can not only be an image, but text as well. I want to add a slogan into the picture shown on the homepage/in the slider.
If not thanks, thanks anyway, otherwise very curious on how to add this.
Kind regards.
Hello,
I am having the same problem. I have followed all the steps you have provided and I have made an image that is 1140×450 pixels. I add it into the Featured Post Slider Options with the correct ID and it does not same the ID number?
Thank you

@azie: for that you need to build child theme and edit it. It’s not that easy to change the Post slider image. You need to hire customizer.
But there is one good news. We are launching Catch Everest Pro theme next week where there will be option to use Featured Image Slider. Where you can upload image of any size as there will be image uploader.
Hi Sakin,
Thanks for your reply. I am using the Featured Post Slider, and I am wondering if you can add text into/on the (slider)picture that is shown on the homepage, sort of like a homepage banner on the picture.
Thanks also for your link, but I cannot open it. Is it about the FSP? That I know of, but thanks anyway.
Kind regards, Marieke
