@knudkp: Yes, I told you earlier that the theme is designed to showcase your slider. So, it’s large. But if you want small height image, then you can crop the image size of your slider and upload the smaller height images in your featured images. This way, it will automatically make the height of the image slider smaller.

Sakin, i see

Now I changed my screen res. to 1920×1280 – and made this screenshot: https://snag.gy/vgLEZR.jpg

Well, for me it just looks like, that the whole thing with featured slider takes a great amount of space of the screen

I know I shall take some space, but I feel and imagine that this is taking about 75% ?

Wot do you think?

@knudkp: Sorry, I just check in your site and your featured slider is not that big. It’s just perfect at 1200px width and 514px height and the Catch Base Pro theme wrapper in 1200px width. So, it’s perfect.

[Skandha]

@hverbunt: The featured slider option is only available in pro version of the theme. I suggest you to upgrade to pro. You can check out the additional-features available in pro version of the theme.

Let me know if this helps you out!

Hi Skandha,

Thank you for your help. The code solved my problem only partially:

1) The post date now appears on the post page just below the title. With additional CSS, I managed to have it displayed with a bigger font and with my title font instead of my body content font: http://trustandride.com/serie-le-bol-dor-2017-et-la-magie-de-lendurance-1-6

2) However the date that appears is the date of the last modification on the article. I would like to have the publication date displayed. I see “get_the_modified_date()” in your code. How can I modify it to have the right date displayed?

3) Despite looking into the page code with my web browser inspector, I haven’t managed to have this post date displayed in white. It’s automatically in black but i’d like to change this so that the date can be seen over the pictures in background. In my CSS code, the only code I found I can change to have the date in white color is this :

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, .drop-cap:first-letter, .slider-content-wrapper .entry-content, .slider-content-wrapper .entry-summary, .no-header-media-image .custom-header .entry-title, .no-header-media-image .custom-header .entry-summary, .no-header-media-image .custom-header .entry-content, .entry-footer .entry-meta span span, .custom-header .entry-content, .custom-header .entry-summary, blockquote, .ctis-finished-notice {
color: #111111;
}

However, since that includes titles h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, it then also change all the titles on my home white from black to white, which I don’t want.
Do you know the solution?

4) The date appears on all the pages, that is to say the articles and other static pages (contact, about, privacy policy, etc) when I only want it on the articles. Is there a way?

5) Last but not least, I said in the beginning that this code you sent me only solved my problem partially because I would like the post dates to be displayed everywhere on the website, and not just once you click on the article and open the article page.
I would like the dates of the articles displayed on the front page, for both the hero article and the featured articles (http://trustandride.com/), and also on the category pages when the list of articles are shown (http://trustandride.com/articles/le-coin-racing). It is possible?
For example, on your NepalBuzz Pro theme (https://catchthemes.com/demo/nepalbuzz/) or Christmas Bell theme (https://catchthemes.com/demo/christmas-bell/), the post dates are nicely displayed also on the front pages.

Sorry for this long response and several questions. I have to say this Catch Wheels Pro theme is giving me a a hard time. It’s a pity because I feel the style options I’m trying to get out of it are pretty basic for a website.

Thank you again,

Nicolas

Hey Skandha,

That worked perfectly for my featured content! However, I still would like to disable the links on the featured slider images as well.

@denisask: You had kept number of slides 0 in Featured post slider => Add slider option. I changed it to 1 and it seems to be working.

Kind Regards,
Skandha

@evoluers: Looks like you haven’t select the page in “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider”. You need to select page in “Featured Page # 1”, “Featured Page # 2” and so on.

Hi,

I have the same problem.
I have Rock Star Free theme. The demo shows a button on the featured slider. However, on my website, the button doesn’t show. I have tried everything, but can’t figure it out.

Can you help me make the button appear?

I would also like to change the fonts. Not sure where I can do that?

my website is marykathill.com

Thank you,
Mary

Hello Skandha,

the featured post slider is still there and I feel like it always stucks my page. I do not want to have it there at all. How can I remove it?

Thank you for your help,
Denisa

@rkolanup: Go to => Appearance = Customize => Additional CSS and remove the following CSS Code.

#per-slide-template{
	display: none;
}

And please check out the recommended image size for slider image and reupload the images with similar aspect ratio with respect to the recommended size.

Let me know if this works out.
Kind Regards,
Skandha

@svguitar: For this you will need to create a child theme. If you do not know how to create a child theme then you can use Generate Child Theme Plugin.

Go to => Text editor => Paste the following code and save it as header.php in the child theme folder.

<?php
/**
 * The header for our theme
 *
 * This is the template that displays all of the <head> section and everything up until <div id="content">
 *
 * @link https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-files/#template-partials
 *
 * @package Simple Persona
 */

?>
<!doctype html>
<html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
<head>
	<meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>">
	<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
	<link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
	<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>

<body <?php body_class(); ?>>
<div id="page" class="site">
	<a class="skip-link screen-reader-text" href="#content"><?php esc_html_e( 'Skip to content', 'simple-persona-pro' ); ?></a>

	<header id="masthead" class="site-header">
		<div class="wrapper">
			<div class="site-header-main">
				<?php get_template_part( 'template-parts/header/site', 'branding' ); ?>

				<?php get_template_part( 'template-parts/navigation/navigation', 'primary' ); ?>
			</div><!-- .site-header-main -->
		</div><!-- .wrapper -->
	</header><!-- #masthead -->

	<div class="below-site-header">

		<?php get_template_part( 'template-parts/slider/content', 'slider' ); ?>

		<?php get_template_part( 'template-parts/header/header', 'media' ); ?>

		<?php ! get_theme_mod( 'simple_persona_events_position' ) ? get_template_part( 'template-parts/events/content', 'event' ) : ''; ?>

		<?php get_template_part( 'template-parts/hero-content/content', 'hero' ); ?>

		<?php get_template_part('template-parts/portfolio/display','portfolio'); ?>

		<?php get_template_part('template-parts/featured-content/display','featured'); ?>

		<?php ! get_theme_mod( 'simple_persona_testimonial_position' ) ? get_template_part( 'template-parts/testimonial/display', 'testimonial' ) : ''; ?>

		<?php
		$enable_homepage_posts = simple_persona_enable_homepage_posts();

		if ( $enable_homepage_posts ) : ?>
		<div id="content" class="site-content">
			<div class="wrapper">
		<?php endif; ?>

Now I the events section should display above the hero content.
Let me know if this works out.
Kind Regards.

@herod1: This may be due to the size of slider images you have uploaded being quite less than recommended slider images size. Please check the recommended image size in this link.

@wabbit:
1. The option to keep Images as Featured Slider Type is not available in pro version of the theme. I suggest you upgrade to pro. You can check out the additional-features available in pro version of the theme.

2. This option is also available only in the pro version of the theme.

3. Yes that can be done. You can separate the posts you want to display in a page by keeping it in one Category. Then you can insert the category page in the menu.

Let me know if this helps you out.
Kind Regards,
Skandha
