Mahesh,

You asked me for my login info and I thought you were going to help me by getting rig of anything related to Advance Custom Fields, but sadly you did not. Since I am not qualified to pinpoint the problem by myself, my only choice is to erase the current child theme and create a new one, but Catch Themes MUST put back the code that Sangeeta inserted so that my Featured Image Sliders have a working Read More link on them and not the falsely advertised “Check to disable Read More text”. I would need this done ASAP. Please advice. This recommened by Catch Theme Theme, is causing me a lot of grieve already, VERY DISAPPOINTED.

@android: Its means that you haven’t selected the page to display as Featured Slider. Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Featured Slider=> Slider Options then scroll down, you’ll see Featured Page Slider #, select the desired pages in the drop-down. The featured images set in the pages will be displayed as slides.
Hope this helps. Let me know if any Problem.

Regards,
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh, thank you for getting back to me so promptly, the only message I get is the following when I try to use the featured page slider and make the required settings ( which don’t appear to save)

“You have selected Page Slider but you haven’t added the Page ID in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Page Slider Options””

However I have tried this several times, maybe I’m missing something? I’m pretty sure I’m not, I’ve been using WordPress and plugins to build 15 or so sites and so well past the novice stage. Having said that I could be doing something wrong? Do you want to have a look in the back end/ as its all very mysterious and the issue is very random.

One question I have is there are two places to access the settings Customizer and the Theme options, could this be causing a problem, setting them in two places? although this would not account for the “not saving” thing which is happening in general? Anything I can do to help just let me know.

Much appreciated, Andy

@kterra: Thank you for using Catch Everest Pro theme. If you want to have individual header image for your different pages and posts, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Header Image and select Entire Site, Page/Post Featured Image in
Enable Featured Header Image option. Choosing this option will set featured image as the page’s header image if exists if not, it uses default header image.
To Enable Slider on Home page only, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Featured Slider=> Slider Options and select Homepage/Frontpage in Enable Slider option.
For hiding header image in homepage, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following CSS:

/* Hides header image from homepage */
.home #header-image {
	display: none;
}

Let me know if any problem.
Note: For Header Image, you can use image of your desired size.

Regards,
Mahesh

Mahesh, I don’t even know how to get there. Sangeeta should have our WP site login. When you are there, maybe you can erase that file for good or anything that has to do with Advanced Custom Fields, because we are not using anything like that anymore and we disabled Advanced Custom Fields, the only reason we have not erased the plugin is because we had to pay for it, but we don’t need it. Those who created the previous website, installed who knows what in Full Frame Child but we are not longer using their services, they had hidden the Blog Page, because obviously it was a mess, but we need back so we enabled, ACF is probably what is affecting many things we notice in the Blog and other pages that used the complicated plugin. Ideally we would love to use the Parent Theme, but you guys have to correct the issue with the Featured Image Slider that is the only one that has no Read More Text even thought it shows that it can be enabled or disabled. That’s a major issue that I was promised it would be corrected in a next update but two updates have come and nothing, it is very frustrating. Please help.

[luismarioochoa]

Mahesh,

I am not longer using Advance Custom Fields, I don’t need it, so that plugin has been disabled.

The MAIN REASON why I purchased this theme, was because I needed a Full Frame Slider with a Read More button on it. I contacted Catch Themes and Sangeeta recommended this particular theme that disappointingly has not to worked as promised. I have the email exchanges with Sangeeta from April 27 at 12:32AM and this was what he replied:

“Hello Luis, Thanks for your feedback to Full Frame Pro Theme. We will check that on how we can implement that. Looks like there is no Read More only in Featured Image Slider. In Full Frame Pro, if you choose Featured Post Slider or Featured Category Slider or Featured Page Slider. Then it shows Read More”

Then on June 25 at 1:01 AM, Sangeeta wrote:

“Hello Luis,

Sorry that you are not satisfied with and we will add that Read More link in new version update…so you need to create child theme and edit the function fullframe_page_slider(). I have attached the child theme, you can upload it just like installing new theme, or you can just send me your URL and temporary admin access and then I can install that for you” I sent Sangeeta my login and he uploaded the ChildTheme with the code so that the Featured Image Slider would have a Read More Link. I was happy until the Blog starting to show Fatal Errors.

There has been a new update since then and what Sangeeta said it was going to be corrected.

Now the Child Theme has Blog display Fatal Errors that I don’t know how to resolve and I cannot use the Parent Theme because there is no Read More button or link ONLY on Featured Image Slider even though it can be checked to “disable the Read More Text” which it is a bad joke because it does not work either way!

I am very frustrated and disappointed at Catch Theme. Please resolve this issue ASAP, it is a Catch Theme problem affecting a client that has purchased four themes from you, so please do something about it.

I look forward to hearing from you with a solution ASAP.

Thanks.

Luis

Mahesh,

It does not happen in the Parent Theme and I am not happy because I am back at square one.

Feature Slider==>Select Slider Type==>Featured Image Slider, says “Check To Disable Read More Text”, but even though this shows up in the Feature Image Slider Customization section , IT DOES NOT WORK and I NEED IT TO WORK. I need a READ MORE link as per in the ChildTheme or better yet, a Read More button.

Sangeeta @CatchThemes, kindly did a temporary fix by adding some code in the ChildTheme, so that the Feature Image would have a Read More Link.

Now things are not working in the ChildTheme Blog the way they should, you rightly tell me that it is because I am using the Child Theme, I switch, posts display correctly in parent theme, but I cannot use the parent theme (as I would love to), because the Feature Image Slider does not do what the theme says it does which was the main reason why I purchased this theme: Feature Slider With a Read More Link), it simply does not work, worse even, the Content Box is not even clickable!

I was told by Sangeeta that this issue was going to be resolved in a next update, I updated but nothing was done to it. That was months ago. I need a solution ASAP. I am not happy.

Actually, erase that. I do have breadcrumbs but they are still above the Featured Slider

[luismarioochoa]

Hello Mahesh

Thank you, It does display in the parent theme.

Header Featured Image Options enabled and refreshed but made no difference in the Child theme.

I’d switch to the Parent Theme, but Sangeeta (at CatchThemes.com) added a slider code in my child theme functions.php so a Read More red link would show on the image slider, since there is no Read More button available in the slider of the parent theme, so I am stuck with the Child Theme until this capability is added to the Parent Theme.

Please advice
Thank you

Luis

[Orlando Mergal]

It didn’t work.

I’ve also thought that if I eliminate the Featured Slider there will be nothing to tell visitors where they are. So, would it be possible to add my logo (in the logo section) but only have it appear on smartphones?

Hello Laurie,

I check in your site and see that you are using Simple Catch Pro theme. For Simple Catch Pro theme please use support forum https://catchthemes.com/support-forum/forum/simple-catch-pro-premium/

I see that you are using Header Image and we don’t have option for this. We have Enable option only for Slider in Simple Catch Pro. For slider, you need to go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider => Slider Options”.

We will work on the update of Simple Catch Pro theme. So, that we haven enable option for header image as well. This will be there in next version update only. For now, you can hide with the help of custom css.

Just add the following css in “Appearance => Customize => Theme Options => Custom CSS Options” box:

.headimg { display: none; }
.home .headimg { display: block; }

[Mahesh]

@vetroartefatto: Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Slider=> Slider Options and select Page Slider in Select Slider option. Then select desired pages from drop-down option.
Hope this helps. Let me know further.

Regards,
Mahesh

[Mirella]

Probably I am not clear, I’m sorry.

I just want to use featured images in pages with the dimensions of the slider, like in the site I posted you.

[Mahesh]

@pl: Thanks for the url. Well for Featured Slider and Promotion Headline, select Enable on Homepage only option in Customizer. And for Featured Content, select Entire Site. Then go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following CSS:

#featured-content {
	display: none;
}

.home #featured-content, 
.page-id-352 #feature-content {
	display: block;
}

Hope this helps. If not please do enable the Featued image and let me know.

The theme is fully responsive. Are you using any plugins or custom CSS? If yes try removing CSS and disabling plugins and check if it fixes the issue.
Please check the responsiveness in the demo site: https://catchthemes.com/demo/full-frame/

Let me know further.

Regards,
Mahesh

I want this page to display featured content (like the front page, but without feature slider and promotion headline): http://titania.freiesschauspiel.de/programm/spielplan/spielzeit-201617

By the way, the site is not really responsive – can you see why? Sorry, I’m a wordpress beginner…

[Mahesh]

@vetroartefatto: Are you using Image Slider now? If you want to have Post Slider, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Slider=> Slider Options and select Post Slider in Select Slider option. Then put your desired Post Id in Featured Post Slider ID # option that you want to display as slider. The selected post’s Featured Image will be displayed as Slider Images.
Let me know further if any problem.

Regards,
Mahesh

[Mirella]

I’m using that Theme too, so how they are able to use a post featured image like a slider?

[Mirella]

Ok, so that site is using a plugin to set a featured Content image similar to a slider?

🙂

[Mahesh]

@vetroartefatto: Sorry but I still didn’t quite get you. You can use any content in Slider, i.e. Posts, Pages, Category or Custom Images. But Featured Content is not the slider, it has a column layout and is totally different from Featured Slider. I checked the above site you’ve mentioned, the Slider is quite similar to the Adventurous Theme.
Let me know further if I can help you further.

Regards,
Mahesh

[Mirella]

I was not clear, sorry. :\

I want the Content Featured Images showed like slider layout but it doesn’t work.
Like in this site: http://www.racinelutheran.org/athletics/

Thank you again 🙂
