Hello again,
I found Featured Slider options. But still i need use featured slider to header area. Also can i change arrow and dot options in featured slider?
Thank you.
Hi Skandha,
What I should like has been solved voor 75% by using featured images.
Where I am looking for is the following:
In the featured content should be four featured content in the final version of the website.
Two of them are “normal” pages and two of them are pages with lated posts. And I should like to have for all 4 the possibility of a “read more link” and an image above the text.
Now I use the featured image functionality and then it isn’t possible to have an excerpt and a read more link.
And if I use the featured content functionality then I have to use an image for a page to get the image in the featured content. But…. I use a featured slider and then using an extra image as featured image gives an ugly effect.I am not able to make the featured picture for a latest post page so that it is only visible to the featured content on the front page and not on the latest post page.
Addition question: is it possible to upload a picture to you, then it is easier to explain what I mean.
Kind regards
Hans
Is there a way to edit the CSS to overlay the title text of the post in the featured slider OR bold it?
I am using Catch Box Pro.
Website is 72hrbugoutbag.com
I just want for there to be a way for readers to know the post title WITH the pics. The post title is there now, but doesn’t stand out at all. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I have problems with the featured content functionality
What I want is a four column featured content with news and pages.
The problem is that featured content demands a picture.
This is a problem for a pager without picture or a Vimeo movie in combination with a featured slider.
It demands to upload a featured image. Problem now is that =he featured image is visible on the page.
You get: 1. featured slider and 2 featured image.
That is not a good visible combination.
What I should like is: a featured slider that is not visible on a certain page or a featured image that is visible in the featured content on the frontpage but not on the page that should be in the featured content functionality.
Kind regards

Good day,
We’re using the “featured slider” and most of the time the order in which the Featured Pages are displayed is correct.
However, we’ve noticed that the order is not always correct if you refresh the page or try it on a mobile you should see the problem is an intermittent one but the order of slides change in such a way that means you can’t run a reliable order. You only see if you have more than 3 slides.
This is our site if you want to see the issue.

Hope this helps,
A great Theme though
@fireflywebs: Go to => Lucida-pro-child => funtions.php and add the following Code.

This should change your Permalink to:=> Go to. Let me know if this works out!

I do not want to show the title of pages. After making the title invisible, there is a gap between the page content and the featured slider.
Is there as way to decrease this gap to the height of one line?
Kind regards
Hans Hagmeijer
@umbra989: Yes, sections here mean featured content, featured slider, hero content, posts and so on and you can change their order using the Section Sorter feature in the theme options.

Please refer to this image. I want to remove the pagination “bars” at the bottom of the images in the slider. They don’t work aesthetically. Please tell me how to remove them. Thank you, Mary (website is: staceymoeevents.com)

Hello,
how to disable Posts Content Background in Featured Page Slider?
@ravanh: I think it’s got to do with the image loader. So, can you go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider” and change the value of “Image Loader”
Hi,
Working on a site with Rock Star, I notice that the featured slider (showing pages) has a weird issue with the height of the slider elements. After fist load, the space for the slider seems much too high, making the forward/back buttons and the dots (at the bottom) to be placed too low.
Only after all slides have passed and the slider goes back to the fist slide, or if the browser window size is changed, the height gets adjusted to fit the slide images.
This seems to happen on Chrome and Firefox, I’ve not tested other browsers.
No idea if this is related to a particular theme setting but when I switch to the Demo slider content, the issue is gone. And what also strikes me as odd, is that the demo slides are correctly adapted to the window height, unlike the custom page featured images even though they have the same original 1920×1080 dimensions…
Please see http://dustbindev.aufildudoux.net (I set slide delay to 0 for easier debugging)
What’s going wrong?
Hello, I am new to WordPress. I am looking at the demo of The Rock Star free theme, and I see that the Featured Slider covers the menu area, but in my environment the Featured Slider begins below the menu and the menu is black. Can someone please explain why? Thank you very much!
Best,
Alex
There is no post option under ‘Featured Slider’, it shows -> Content Alignment for #1, 2, 3…
Hello Chris,
Sorry, there is no option to add social icons to the header right. There is option to enable social icons in Featured Slider from “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider”. Further, you can add social icons in widget areas from “Appearance => Widgets” and then drag and drop “CT: Social Icons” widget to your desire widget area.

Sakin
Hi Skandha,
of course I use a child theme…and now I added the function to load the page at the featured-slider.php to my child theme functions.php.
My idea was to buy the Pro theme, support your company and get pro functionalities…to be able to setup an page as content for the featured slider with HTML, that will be shown at the website.
But for me it looks, like I don´t get any extra functions with this Pro theme… The font, that could be loaded/configured at the customizer, I loaded at the functions.php of the child theme (free version of Rock Star). Different colors could be changed via the childs CSS file.
skandha: for clarity, I’m referring to the Media Heading “randomise uploaded heads” and not the theme options “Featured Sliders”! Though having the option for both would be super useful 🙂
@hoiung: Thank you for the suggestion. I will forward this to our development team. Yes, you can activate slider for mobiles and header video for desktops. Activate featured slider on your site and I will provide you the CSS Code to make this possible.
Kind Regards,
Skandha
@sugran: To make slider text show up on other pages
Go to => Appearance => Customize => Additional CSS and add the following CSS Code.
body:not(.home) .slider-content-wrapper .entry-container, .home .custom-header-content {
position:fixed;
top:140px;
}
body:not(.home) .section-content-wrap .entry-container-wrap .entry-summary {
margin:0;
font-size:18px;
}
body:not(.home) .section-content-wrap .entry-container-wrap .entry-title {
font-size:28px;
}
To change the order in which the slider images are displayed.
Go to => Appearance => Customize => Theme Options => Featured Slider => In Post #1 select the page you want to display as the first slide then in Post #2 the post you want to display after first slide and so on.
Let me know if this helps you out!
Kind Regards,
Skandha
Hi,
for an website that is still in development I used the Rock Star Free theme.
At the frontpage I disabled the header logo by CSS and used an modified featured-slider.php file to setup the logo content on the page I used as featured page #1.
So, because of any future updates I decided to buy the Pro version and use custom slider to setup the logo at the frontpage.
So I bought the pro version, setup the theme as default…but still no html tag will be possible for the slider.
So, do I still have to modify the php file to use the full content, not the excerpt?
>> Free version witj modified php-file: http://notscientists.austinlucas.com/
Thanks
Carsten
