@grahama: Please add in your site URL and explain that are you trying to do. When I check in your site http://proencltd.com/, you haven’t added image. For more, check out theme instructions at https://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-base/#featured-slider

[grahama]

Sakin, I have uploaded the featured images and when I select the page in slider settings to the featured images on page, > Save > refresh – no images just text over -writing image – no featured image!

Changed back to default – an other option is how can i remove the grey text slider 1 from default slider??

Screen shot is here => https://www.dropbox.com/s/g2kaho05u7rtbfz/error.png?dl=0

@dercncplaner: On the slider, custom truncate is being used (substr) which I’m afraid actually doesn’t work with arabic language. But on the other such as blogs list, featured grid etc. the excerpt works. Hope you understand.

@marco-cherin: I checked the same on our server and it is working fine. Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Post Slider=> Slider Options and make sure you’ve put correct Post ID in Featured Post Slider #.
Let me know further.

@mjadkowskigmail-com: We are responding to all the tickets sent to us. We’ve inform the Premium Support team and they have responded you with an email please check. Did you receive the email?

Sidebar menu issue: Yes, this can be done. As you’ve mentioned you already have a sidebar set up on one page. I assume you’ve put it in the Sidebar Widget Area. Please set up new on on Optional Sidebar # Widget areas too then. When adding a new page, scroll down to be bottom, you’ll find Chicago Options. Click on Select Sidebar tab. And choose one of the option. On choosing, the sidebar menu of selected sidebar will be displayed. Hope this helps.

Sorry, we don’t have that but what you can do is, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Slider=> Featured Slider Options and select Homepage/Frontpage on Enable Slider on option to check the demo. Let me know further if you need any help.

Hi @billgrant,

Slider options should be in Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Slider from dashboard. It’s detailed instructions are here: https://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/rock-star/#featured-slider

[Mahesh]

@tingstedkirke: Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following CSS:

.featured-slider .slides {
    background-color: #000fff;
}

.featured-slider .slides img {
    height: 350px;
}

Note: Change the color and height as desired.

@mindfulsami:
1. The problem you are having is because of inconsistency of the image size you are using. The recommend image size for Slider is Width: 1680px Height: 720px. Use image with similar dimensions and the problem will be resolved.
2. Featured Content seems to be fine.
3. Use image with same dimensions, Featured Grid Content uses image with 4:3 aspect ratio. Small grid image is Width: 420px Height: 283px and large grid image is Width: 840px Height: 565px. These sized image are auto generated by the theme.
Hope you understand. Let me know if any problem.

Mahesh

HI @spot0608,

Here is what you need to do.
1. First move Featured Content To bottom. For that, goto Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Content=> Featured Content Options and check Check to Move above Footer option
2. Add function given here: http://pastebin.com/N826Eimi in your child theme’s functions.php file

This should achieve what you want. Please note the comment blocks and remove the unnecessary lines as I have given you solutions for Promotion Headline for both 3 and 4.

This should achieve following:
1) Featured Slider
2) Hero Content
3) * Promotion Headline
4) Header Highlight Content
5) * Promotion Headline
6) Portfolio
7) Static Front Page Content
8) Featured Content
9) Logo Slider

Hi Pratik,

thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately the page is not available on a public server yet. I just downloaded and installed the theme on my local server as a draft and activated all the frontpage sections with demo content. So the current order is the one from the installed original parallax frame like

1) Featured Slider
2) Hero Content
3) Header Highlight Content
4) Portfolio
5) Featured Content
6) Promotion Headline
7) Logo Slider
8) Static Front Page Content

I would like to have “Promotion Headline” on Position 3 or 4 and the “Static Front page content” on Position 4 or 5 so that for example the “Logo slider” is the last section.

Is there a file in which the order of the front page sections is set?

Thanks a lot
John

HI @aliceb,

Free version of the theme has Page Sliders. To achieve what you need, you need to upgrade to Pro. Pro version has Custom Featured Image Slider and then you can use # in link to not link it to anywhere.

Hi Pratik,

The URL https://catchthemes.com/demo/catch-responsive-pro works fine on Moto G4 …featured slider and all.

On my site – USRTownSquare.org/blog/ – the featured images for individual posts sometimes show very large and the title *incorrectly* goes under the image.
Very unpredictable —- sometimes entire view is ok but overall too small.
Then sometimes looks perfect?????

Very confusing …problem seems to vary

[Mahesh]

@chi: Free version has limited features. You’ll need to add page with featured image and then select that page. And then the image set as featured image will be displayed as Featured Image, Slider etc. For custom images, I recommend you to upgrade to Pro version.

Regards,
Mahesh

[Mahesh]

@chi: The features in the theme are disabled by default. If you want to have similar look as of the demo. Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize:
=> Header Highlight Content and select Homepage/Frontpage or Entire Site in Enable Header Highlight Content on.
Do the same for Featured Slider, Featured Content and News Ticker and you are good to go.
Let me know if any problem.

Note: Please skip the reply on the other thread.

Mahesh

Hi @ipswichcatholic,

It is possible to reduce height of slider but will crop out the image. Try following code in Apperance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box:

#feature-slider .cycle-slideshow {
	height: 500px !important;
}

#feature-slider .entry-container {
	top: 35%;
}

If you do not want the image to be cropped, then you will need to upgrade to Pro version and use Featured Image Slider rather than the Page Slider provided in free version.

Regards,
Pratik

[Mahesh]

@spegrum: Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Featured Slider then choose Homepage/Front Page or Entire Site in Enable slider on option, then further options will slide down. Then choose demo or Featured Page Slider. Using Featured Page slider, you can make selected pages as slider and Featured image will be displayed as slides. Please make sure you have featured image set in the pages selected. If the slider still doesn’t appear, set Image Loader to false.
Let me know further.

Regards,
Mahesh

[Mahesh]

@misstraveling: Thank you for using Simple Catch Pro theme. The recommended size for slider is 976 x 313, however you may have image with diferent size too.
To remove grey borders, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following CSS:

.featured-img {
    border-left: none;
    border-right: none;
    border-bottom: none;
}

If you want to keep the border at the bottom, remove border-bottom: none; from the above CSS.

Regards,
Mahesh

@android: I did check your site and the customize setting are working just fine. But when selecting Pages in slider, please make sure that the page have featured image set. Or the slider will not load. By default, Image Loader option is set to true, which loads all the image first before displaying the sldier. And if one image is not found, the slider will not be displayed. So try setting it to false and let me know.

Mahesh
