I’m on the free theme.
I’m using the “Featured slider” on Homepage/front page.
I can only choose from 2 slider types: Demo and “page”. of course I’ve chosen “page” here.

[Skandha]

@boxhamster: Are you using Rockstar Free Theme or Rockstar Pro Theme. Please Let me know which slider type you are using for Featured Slider?

Kind Regards,
Skandha

Thank you for the hint, @Skandha. Turns out, the Featured Image Slider is working when disabling the NextGEN Gallery plugin (version 2.2.54). During the last years NextGEN Gallery and Clean Journal Pro were working fine for me.

Although, I found several other threads in the forum regarding NextGEN Gallery and try to find a solution to have both of them working properly again. If you have any idea how to achieve this, please let me know!

Thanks again and kind regards,
Martin

@jamesmillerlifeology: There seems to be an issue with the featured category slider. Will get back to you soon on this.

Thanks for quick reaction, Skandha. I cannot give you url, I work the theme on wampserver localhost.

Let me try to explain a bit further :

On the homepage, there is a featured slider with a total of 8 dots. 4 dots are unexpected and should not appear. No permalink is indicated for them but when we press the dots, they point on the new homepage I have drawn up with SiteOrigin page builder.

Notes :
– I gave the new home page a name which actually was already used for a featured slide image ! I have deleted the related featured image/page and recreated it under another page name but I wonder this did not create the present issue.

– The former homepage had the slider with 4 featured images and a featured content with 3 blocks. I have kept the featured slider with the 4 images but I have desactivated the featured content with additional css in the menu Appareance/Customize/Additional CSS of the them that I saw somewhere in your forum :

.home #featured-content {
display: none;
}

Hope I thereby put you on the track of the problem…
Thanks in advance for your help !

@tikaram that css code didnt work for me. Is there something else that I should do to remove the featured slider peramalinks?

[Skandha]

@thetraininglady: Are you talking about the feature slider because there is no featured content option available in the theme option. Sorry that im not able to copy what the issue is. Can you walk me through the issue so that I can find you a solution? Which option in the Customizer are you having trouble with?

Regards,
Skandha

@mandala528: Please try adding the following additional css and remove the previous additional css. let me know if this resolve your issue.

.site-content .entry-title {
	display: none;
}
#main-slider .slider-image{
	pointer-events: none;
}
.site-content .featured-image {
	pointer-events: none;
}

I also have another question:

Can you please tell me how to remove the permalinks in the featured slider?

Thank You

[Matt]

Yes, it does work and thank you for the quick reply. Is there a way to remove only the date and keep the title?

Also, is there a way to remove the title if I choose to use the featured slider? I have noticed that is puts the title directly in the center of each image. I have tried changing the “Display Content” to “Hide Content” but that seems to only work on posts. Would I be better off adding a custom image slider in the top section of the body?
Thanks in advance for your help and patience.

I now have a screenshot for the homepage showing the chopped off image on a 15.6″ windows laptop:
BSAB home page with featured image chopped off on right

Also noticed another couple of issues – The featured image has a black dot in the centre at the bottom (I assume this is because I just have 1 slider image?). How can I get ride of this?
Here’s the screenshot of this: BSAB featured image with black dot in centre at foot of image slider

Also noticed that when you hover over the Featured Slider Image it always displays the text “Featured Image-1”. How do I get ride of this text?

Sorry, lots of questions. I hope you can help.

I found a work around for the Feature Slider issue I’m having. It appears that it is specific to using Feature Page Slider. I have set it up using Featured Image Slider instead of pages, and that appears to work. But it also means that when I change to my real URL, I’ll need to go in and update all the links.

[Mary Wall]

Oddly enough, if I switch to the Demo Feature Slider, that works. It’s when I set it to Feature Page Slider, so that it will use my pages and the featured image in each page that it does not work.

@metsis: Yes when you decrease the size of featured images in the courses slider the height will automatically decrease.

Go to => Appearance => Customize => Additional CSS and add the following CSS Code.

#courses-section .featured-image img {
    height:120px;
}

Let me know if this solves your issue.

Very, very close now.

1. When you are on a page other than the home page (which has the featured slider), the image in the promotion is slightly cut off at the top. Actually, I just checked the landscape view on mobile … it is cut off quite a bit there. Might have to do with my logo … let me know if I need to create a new topic for this.

2. When you shrink the width of the page so that the left/right sections of the promotion are stacked, the left section only takes up the width specified by “#promotion-message .left” css you gave (which does fix the look for when the left/right sections are next to each other). This is especially odd-looking on mobile devices.

Here’s the relevant additional css I have so far. Note that I adjusted the width from 75% to 60% and I’m also including the logo css in case that is related to the image getting cut off. Let me know if you need to me to post all my additional css. Thanks!

/* Fix problem with left/right Promotion Headline widgets */
.section.left {
float:left;
}
.section.right {
float:left;
}
.promotion-button.roll-button.more-button {
margin-top:10px !important;
}
#promotion-message .left {
width:60%;
}

/* Shrink logo when scrolled */
.float-header #site-logo img {
width: 200px;
transition: all 0.5s ease;
}

@catwingz: To display tagline underneath the site logo and to hide the site title.

Go to => Appearance => Site Identity => Check the Display Site Title and Tagline option.

Go to => Appearance => Customize => Additional CSS and add the following CSS Code.

@media screen and (min-width:1023px) {
	#site-logo {
		position:relative;
		left:-265px;
	}

	.site-description {
		padding-top:95px
	}
}

.site-title {
	display:none;
}

You seem to have hidden the Testimonial Slider Title using additional css
Go to => Appearance => Customize => Additional CSS and add the following CSS Code.

#testimonial-section #featured-heading {
	display:block;
}

To change the testimonial slider speed you will have to create a child theme and make changes to core theme files. Let me know if you are comfortable with child theme customizations.

When you open your site from mobile and press the phone number it automically asks if you want to make call to that number.

The Footer Contact Info option is only available in the 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 solves your issue.

@eventuality: To change the displayed text on slider you can better use the Featured Image Slider as the slider type.

Go to => Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider => Select Slider Type => Select Featured Image Slider Option

Then you can add image to the slider and write the text displayed in the slider in the title and content section. Then you can insert the URL of the page/post to link the slider image to the post/page.

Let me know if you are still not clear about it.

Skandha

[eventuality]

no, i mean to change the displayed text/ content. I`d like to add custom text which is not displayed on the site the featured slider is linked to.

regarding the dots, i`ll try out your suggested solution.

[Skandha]

@catwingz: Go to => Appearance => Customize => Additional CSS and add the following CSS Code.

.testimonial_slider_wrap .featured-image {
    display:none;
}

Let me know if this solves your issue.
