@corawade: You can add in the slider when you have ready. Just add the Post IDs in your Featured Post Slider Options and it will take the featured image, title and excerpt from those posts.
There is not option to make the Blog page and add all the post there. You can create the category name “Blog” and assign all posts to that category and add that category in menu through Appearance => Menu.
This is simple theme and for more advance options, you might need to wait for the Catch Everest Pro version.
@ibrokers: those widgets are Featured Post Widgets and Featured Page widgets. Just add in Featured Post Widget if you want your post to be highlighted there or user Featured Page Widgets if you want your page to be highlighted there.
It take the Featured Image added in the respective Post or page that you have added. If you don’t know about how to add featured post then see this: http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image
@JanneS: In you post edit there will be “Excerpt” box. Just add the text in there. If you want to control the exact line.
Perfect example of I should have read the text under the images, instead of jumping in with 2 feet, sorry – moderator ok to remove this post
Nevermind! They seem to be working now. Not a clue what the problem was.
On a side note: When you scroll over the social icons, it pops up and says “-Blog Name- in Twitter” or “-Blog Name- in Facebook”. It should say “on Facebook”, not “in Facebook”.
Is there any way I can change this? If not, maybe you could consider changing it in your next update. =)
Also, I forgot to say thank you very much for making this theme. I really LOVE the way it looks, so clean. I’ve looked for others with the ‘Featured Slider’ feature and they just don’t look anywhere near as clean as yours! =)
Figured out that Homepage Top Sidebar is the location, remove the Recent Posts, Recent Comments Archives and Meta and insert Text widget4 times.
I am puzzled about how to put in the images above these items.
Just purchased Mustang theme, looking for clarity to having it look similar to the preview with Widget Title 4 across directly under main slider as in
http://catchthemes.com/preview/?theme=catch-mustang
Please advise what I am needing to modify to have it view like that, what are those 4 Widget Title representing, thanks

Sakin – I am having the same issue. I have my homepage set as a static page and I’m using the featured post slider. However, the featured post slider is displaying on both my posts page and my static homepage. How do I remove it from my post page?
@@richardcharlesandrews1: There is no breadcrumbs. You are using wrong terminology. When I check in your site. Your site structure is as below:
1. Logo
2. Primary Menu
3. Featured Post Slider
4. Left Sidebar you have various widgets
5. Right Content – In Right content, you have page title, page image and page content.
6. Footer
Where is the breadcrumbs???
I am using the everest theme on wp 3.5.1

Google page speed insights is telling me that image scaling on the images in the post slider and featured front page content is being re-sized by the html or the css and looks to be taking lots of resources. is this unavoidable when using these special features?
Dear all,
I have the featured post slider enabled, and when I write some text in the “post” section, this text will also appear in the post slider itself (under the title).
In this post slider, is there a way to show only the first line of text from the post, including a link “read more”. Such by clicking on the “read more” link you go to the whole text in the post section.
Hopefully somebody can help me with this.
Regards,
Janne
@mogulbill: Yes to change the link color in Featured Post Slider box, just add the following css in your “Custom CSS” box in Theme Options panel.
#slider-wrap a.more-link { color: #fff; }
@heeralc: You are using featured post slider which means it will redirect to respective post. But if you don’t want that to redirect to respective post then you can use redirection plugin and adjust the link as per your need. To remove the link it’s not there in Catch Everest Free theme.
I don’t understand your other 2 questions. Also can you post your site URL and explain bit more and then I will be able to help you.
If you guys are find problem to find the post ID then you can install this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/catch-ids/ or click here to watch this video to get the post ID without plugin.
You need to add this post ID just as 1 not the name. For more details I think this video about our another free theme simple catch which also have similar post slider. See this video
@fabianfiedler: Thanks for your compliment.
For your your first question. It’s bit complicated logic. The Featured Slider needs to have large image but in the post we have small space and also we need to think about the site loading. That is why we auto crop the image. So, the best option will be to exclude the post in homepage for which you have added in slider. You can exclude post in slider from homepage through “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Featured Post Slider Options”. Just check “Exclude Slider post from Homepage posts” and save it.
For your second question about the caption. When you upload the image in your post just add in the caption. May be this tutorial will help you http://wpmu.org/how-to-add-a-caption-to-wordpress-images/
If anyone else is still confused then this video of our theme Simple Catch might help you understand the concept of Featured Post. Click here to watch video
@wendyw627: You don’t need to copy that code. That was only when there was not theme update. Now you can just update your theme to latest version http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/catch-everest and it will work fine.
Hi, I’ve messed up the codes, and copy the entire code from the given page as above.
http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/catch-everest/0.1.2.2/inc/catcheverest-functions.php
But I am still getting the error message
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’ in D:\Hosting\10697012\html\wp-content\themes\catch-everest\inc\catcheverest-functions.php on line 913
How do I fix this?
Thank you!
Is there anybody out there? Love to finish my blog but can’t till I sort this problem
Thanks
