Just kidding! I did not solve it with get_option(‘page_for_posts’)… let me know how I can specify the posts page as the only page for the featured slider.

Thanks!

[phillycontemporary]

I’ve taken out the wrong code and put in the new CSS you provided, however when I activate the featured slider for the entire site, the slider is still visible on every page.

I’m using the featured image slider in the featured slider options. Would that make a difference?

Thank you,

[phillycontemporary]

Hi,

Hmm, I put the code in and I don’t see a change..

I activated the featured slider for the entire site and put your code into my child theme style sheet. I’m still getting the featured slider on all of my pages. Do I need to ‘disable’ the slider on individual pages in the page layout options?

@phillycontemporary: I’ve replied to this in the other thread. Please refer to that.

@karlcurrentsnj-com: I did set the code into the custom CSS and it said, “Cheating Huh?” Your are not allowed to customize this site. I don’t understand how this came upon.
And yes, now I get which slider you really meant, sorry.
It seems that you have selected Featured Post Content, but for some reasons, no posts are being displayed. Have you put the Post id in the Customizer’s Featured Post # option.
Please check and let me know further.

Hi Mahesh, I did set the code into the custom CSS and it said, “Cheating Huh?” Your are not allowed to customize this site.

Also, I’m pretty sure that we’re talking about separate things. I said featured slider, but the I’m really referring to the Featured “content” slider which is available on the site. I want to try to get the posts under the secondary menu and main slider to appear horizontally and scroll left or right. this is a feature that is used on the main Full Frame theme demo.

Right now, the posts are running vertically up down the page.

Please provide a little more help on both topics.

[Mahesh]

@imboliboli: I checked your site, seems you haven’t enabled the Feature Content that’s why nothing is showing. Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Content=> Featured Content Options and select Homepage/Frontpage option in Enable Featured Content on dropdown Below Content option in Featured Content Position drop-down.

For smaller slider, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following:

#feature-slider, 
#feature-slider .wrapper, 
#feature-slider .cycle-slideshow {
    margin: 0 auto;
    width: 80%;
}

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Mahesh

@karlcurrentsnj-com: I checked your site and the Featured Slider seems to be working fine.
To remove the date and comments on my posts, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS:

#main .entry-meta {
    display: none;
}

Let me know further.

Mahesh

@phillycontemporary: The color options is built-in in Pro version. I recommend you to upgrade to Pro. But if you want it in Free version anyway, it can be done with Custom CSS. Go to Dashboard=> Apperance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following CSS:

/* blue box behind the search bar icon on the top menu */
.site-header .social-networks li .fa-search {
    background-color: #ffff00;
}

/* blue hover color on the ‘Read More’ button on the featured Image slider */
#feature-slider .more:hover {
    background-color: #00a3e6;
    border-color: #00a3e6;
    color: #fff;
    text-decoration: none;
}

/* blue color of all hyperlinks in page/post text */
a {
    color: #00a3e6;
}

/* color of the footer navigational menu item text */
.footer-b .footer-nav a {
    color: #ff00ff;
}

Note: Please change the colors as desired.

Mahesh

H! One more question about the featured slider–

Is it possible to change the hover color overlay of the slider thumbnails?

Thank you and let me know!

[yonghao]

and also if there is a way to make the featured slider smaller.

[phillycontemporary]

Hi Mahesh,

I put in the CSS for the individual page and nothing changed..

Is it possible to have two different sliders– One on the homepage, and one on a separate page–Both with different featured pages?

Thank you for all your help! I know I have a lot of questions…

[armando]

Hi Mahesh,
I have an issue, I don´t want to show this text: <span class=¨readmore¨><ahref=¨http://revelacionesequinas.org/talleres/¨Leer Más…</span> on the featured slider, if you can help me remove it I’ll be more than happy. I would like just to show the image and just the box that say´s read more, in my case it’s says ¨leer más¨ because my site is in spanish.
Thank you very much for your time

[Mahesh]

@ddk: Sorry for the confusion but we recommend you to use the customizer instead of theme options as it is easy to use and you can also see the live preview. So for adding Slider, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Slider=> Slider Option and choose which ever slider type you were using before and follow along. (make sure it is enabled)
Please do the same for Featured Content, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Homepage Featured Content and select Homepage/Front page or Entire site as per you desire in Enable Content drop-down option. Then select you desired Featured Content Type and add up the images.
I would like to help you further if you need any. Let me know if any problem. Sorry for the trouble.

Regards,
Mahesh

Thanks…Ads are gone now…what do I use to add back my original Slider images and activate them and the Featured content boxes. Is this the Theme Options part of the Appearance=>Theme Options area…this seems to override the Customize options when used…there appears to be two areas to set up the features. The latter is more familiar to me…but it changes back to the defaults when I try to use it. The upgrade wiped away my choices for the slider. I remember it was easier to use before…but that was two years ago when I set up this original site and I have used several other vendor template options since, including the non-pro version for other sites I have designed…why does this seem so confusing? …Dr Dan CampTimlo.org

@ddk: Thank you for upgrading to Pro version. The upgrade should have automatically migrated all the settings from Free to Pro unless you are using child theme. So, it seems most of the setting are changed to defaults (Slider, Promotion Headline, Featured Content).
For these options, please use Customizer (Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize) instead Theme Options. For slider, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Slider=> Slider Options.
For disabling Promotion headline (Ads), go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Promotion Headline and select Disable in
Enable Promotion Headline on drop-down option.
And removing/modifying Featured Content (mountain image), go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Homepage Featured Content and select Disable in Enable Content drop-down option.
Hope this helps. Please follow along the theme instruction : https://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/
Let me know if any problem.

@latinoliteratures:
Hi Fabio:

Sorry for the late reply. Working with child theme or working with code is kinda tricky. A small character can break the whole site and make it inaccessible. I highly recommend you to do the modifications only if you are familiar with programming or else hire a customizer.
Is the theme working now? You do have option to show content in Featured Content but not in the Featured Slider. You can use Custom CSS for hiding the excerpt in the Featured Slider.

Let me know further.

Mahesh

@kawr:
If you try it from Appearance=> Theme Options=> FEATURED POST SLIDER=> Slider Options, you should be able to add as many as you like. Let me know how it goes.

I WENT AHEAD AND USED THE PLUGIN YOU RECOMMENDED FOR BUILDING CHILD THEMES. I MADE ONE FOR FABULOUS FLUID PRO.
