@regalaffair: You have added the css
.news-2 .featured-slider {display: none;}. But you are supposed to add .blog #slider { display: none; }

Nothing in Appearance -> Theme Options -> Featured slider

The previous update that fixed this problem is back with my most recent update of 1.2.5.1

Can you all fix this.  I tried the adding the above to my css and it didn’t work.

Thank you!

[tamerch]

thank you for this translation Sakin !

br,

[Abbtt]

Awesome! Then I would like to make the transition as smooth as possible. Could we get the new css translations before I make the formal install?

For instance…

 

I have this so that the post content spans most of the page and the sidebar is not available.
.single-post #primary {
margin: 0;
}
.single-post #content {
margin: 0 3%;
width: 94%;
}

and this to increase picture width within the posts:

#main #content img {
max-width: 900px;
}

And currently those are the only two pieces I have. Do you know what the new css for those would look like?

Thanks!
Abbott

@Abbtt: All content and settings will be same and many added settings that you might feel comfortable working with. If you have worked with Custom CSS then that will not be valid for pro version much. You need to add different custom css. But I am here to help you out if you need any custom css.

So, in general most of the things will be carry over but few will not as Simple Catch Pro theme structure is different. It is build in HTML5, CSS3 and Responsive Design.

[Abbtt]

Thanks Sakin!

If I decide to upgrade will I have to change a lot of things around? i.e. repost content, adjust some of the custom css that is already set up to help us achieve the aesthetics we are looking for, etc. Or will all those things carry over in the pro version?

Let me know. Really interested.

@mwjohnston1:

About your Photo Gallery slideshow yes you need to try in Plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ . May be you can try in NextGEN Gallery or any other plugin.

Also, can the Featured Slider be used just for photos? If so, how so, as its edit page takes one to the list of posts…And can it be moved from directly under the header? Thank you for your patience…!
— You are using Catch Box free theme where you have option to add Featured Post Slider. You need to add in the post and then the featured image in the post. See this for instruction http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-box/ . But if you want only image then you need Featured Image slider which is there only in Catch Box Pro version.

Hello Abbott,

About your questions:
1.) Can you use an image different from the one used as an article’s thumbnail (Featured Image that shows up with the article in the homepage archives) as the image in the Featured Slider simultaneously? Here’s what I’m working with now (http://14thstreetoats.com/) and I’d like to have more variety as far as imagery goes on the homepage.
— Sorry this theme has Featured Post Slider which take the Featured Image posted in the posts. You might want to upgrade to Simple Catch Pro theme where you have option to use Featured Image Slider independent of posts. Where you can upload image of any choice, add title, description and links all optional.

2.) Is there anyway to get rid of the grid overlay that seems to be apparent on all of the images in the Slider or is that always there?
— For this you can disable it from “Theme Options -> Featured Post Slider -> Slider Effect Options” There check the box “Disable Slider Background Effect”.

3.) I know the preferred width of the image is ~978px, but is there a preferred height that I should keep in mind to make sure the image aligns correctly? I have vertically oriented images up in the featured slider now the work well with the thumbnails, but not well with the featured slider.
— It’s mentioned in theme instruction http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/simple-catch . For featured post slider it’s Width: 976px and Height: 313px

Regards,
Sakin

On one of my pages, dubbed “Photo Gallery”, I was hoping to put up multiple slideshows, as I create with my WordPress blogposts.

Is that possible?  Do I need a plugin? Which one?

Also, can the Featured Slider be used just for photos?  If so, how so, as its edit page takes one to the list of posts…And can it be moved from directly under the header?  Thank you for your patience…!

@kpalmer29852: Free Simple Catch Version only have Featured Slider in Home. If you want easy option of just a click in Theme Options panel then you need to upgrade to Simple Catch Pro Theme.

But if you know php then you can build child there of Simple Catch Theme and the just customize the function simplecatch_sliderbreadcrumb()

[Sakin]

@jmyss: If you want to use the Featured Post Slider without the title and description then you can upgrade to Catch Box Pro theme where there is Featured Image Slider which gives you control to upload your own image, title, description and links all optional.

For content layout: Catch Box theme has 2 content layout. 1) Show excerpt: which will show the featured image of the post and excerpt text and 2) Show full content: which will show the full content exactly like in the post. You can select the option through Appearance -> Theme Options -> Content layout.

Hello,

I have a few questions about the Featured Slider that I’m not finding answers to in the forum or in the instructions for Simple Catch.

I am working on version 1.8 and would like to implement the Slider on the homepage. Here are the questions I have:

1.) Can you use an image different from the one used as an article’s thumbnail (Featured Image that shows up with the article in the homepage archives) as the image in the Featured Slider simultaneously? Here’s what I’m working with now (http://14thstreetoats.com/) and I’d like to have more variety as far as imagery goes on the homepage.

2.) Is there anyway to get rid of the grid overlay that seems to be apparent on all of the images in the Slider or is that always there?

3.) I know the preferred width of the image is ~978px, but is there a preferred height that I should keep in mind to make sure the image aligns correctly? I have vertically oriented images up in the featured slider now the work well with the thumbnails, but not well with the featured slider.

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello,

I’m new to WP but i’m starting to get a hang of it and I love this theme. 🙂

I am just wondering if it is possible to just have the image from the post or featured image in the slider without the text from the post.

If No, is there anyway to have the slider size fixed. When ever the slider show another post it resizes.

Also, the option to show full posts on frontpage (show text summary or full under settings) dosen’t seem to work? Is this correct?

Thanks for this amazing theme! 🙂

[Sakin]

@tamerch: thanks for informing. Yes, I just check it and found that there is lot of empty translation. I will have to push like on 1.8.1 version update.

You can download the language folder for catch box http://catchthemes.com/downloads/catchbox-languages.zip

[Sakin]

@golfer300 : See the Theme Instruction http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-box/ . The best size for featured slider is 644px width by 320px height.

For adding bold Home above the Featured slider. This is bit complicated. You need to first build a child theme and then copy header.php and just add this in line no 97:
<span style="font-size: 20px; display: block; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 10px;">Home</span>

[tamerch]

Ok, I modified fr_FR.po and fr_FR.mo and it fixes the problem.

(I can’t attach files to this post … i can send it by mail if needed)

regards,

 

[tamerch]

not sure if it has something to do with translation … (i’m not a specialist in wordpress).

I guess wordpress would return the message untranslated if it is not found in the translation file ?!

Anyway, a similar problem occurs in social link options (only facebook and twitter are shown ) !

[tamerch]

Ok here is an explanation of the problem on CATCH-BOX theme.

I saw that, for any reason, the translation “Featured Slider”  in the fr_FR.po is empty !


#: ../inc/theme-options.php:196
#: ../inc/theme-options.php:197
msgid "Featured Slider"
msgstr ""

line 608 -> 611

Changing (in theme-options.php line 195 to 201)

$slider_options = add_theme_page(
__( 'Featured Slider', 'catchbox' ), // Name of page
__( 'Featured Slider', 'catchbox' ), // Label in menu
'edit_theme_options', // Capability required
'slider_options', // Menu slug, used to uniquely identify the page
'catchbox_options_slider_page' // Function that renders the options page
);

to

$slider_options = add_theme_page(
__( 'Featured Slider', 'catchbox' ), // Name of page
'Slider', // Label in menu
'edit_theme_options', // Capability required
'slider_options', // Menu slug, used to uniquely identify the page
'catchbox_options_slider_page' // Function that renders the options page
);

May correct the problem (I do not recommand to do that but it may help).
Also you can modify the translation files I guess …

My website is amanofreason.com. I have recently started exploring the featured post slider and I have ran into some issues. First, what is the size of the post slider so I can crop my images to better fit the slider. Also, on my website, is their any way to get the bolded word Home above the post slider. Lastly, is there any way to move the post slider so I can have other content above or below it.
