Below is what another poster said in another post. It is exactly what I am seeing. Something is missing from my Customizing Featured Slider page. But she received no reply, so I continue to seek an answer. – Dave

<<The only thing I’m seeing is: Enable Slider on: Homepage/Frontpage. None of the other usual options are visible.<<

@huca: Do you mean the slider? You can enable it in entire site by going to Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Slider => Enable Slider On and selecting entire site.

If this is something else, please let me know.

[Huca]

this is the whole function.php code, since I was also making some other changes from another thread, where you help me. But none of these actually works, so maybe I did something somewhere wrong?

@tivonjohnson;

For that you can use following code in Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box:

#main-slider .featured-img a img {
    width: 100%;
}

Let me know how it goes.

Pratik

[Huca]

1) yes. code is here:

`<?php
/**
* Child Theme functions and definitions
*
*/

/**
* Loading Parent theme stylesheet
*
*/
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘catchresponsive_child_enqueue_styles’ );
function catchresponsive_child_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘catchresponsive-parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );}

if ( ! function_exists( ‘catchresponsive_polylang_invalidcache’ ) ) :
/**
* Template for Clearing Polylang Invalid Cache
*
*/
function catchresponsive_polylang_invalidcache() {
delete_transient( ‘catchresponsive_featured_slider’ );
} // catchresponsive_polylang_invalidcache
endif;

3) you mean the Polylang?

[Huca]

2) well it´s not just featured slider, it´s an image that appears the same for both pages. Or you mean this is an issue of Polylang because it´s using the same image?

[Pratik]

@huca:
2) I meant the image used from theme, which is then used to featured slider. I believe this is not any plugin´s issue, but template only?
I am afraid, the featured slider will not work that way. If you want that sort of functionality, you will need to hire a customizer and do some custom work.

3) disabled caching plugin, but no change, this is really weird as I look at it in the same way that it should work in the same way as the text :/
It uses the same code as the text so this is very strange issue indeed. I will net you know if I come up with anything.

[Huca]

Hi Pratik,

thanks a lot for your answers.

1) fighting with the child theme setup, will let you know
2) I meant the image used from theme, which is then used to featured slider. I believe this is not any plugin´s issue, but template only?
3) disabled caching plugin, but no change, this is really weird as I look at it in the same way that it should work in the same way as the text :/

@luismarioochoa:
Hi Luis,
Using Featured Image Slider, content excerpt is not possible. But as I mentioned earlier, Post/Page and Category will show excerpt. And yes using Post/Page/Category will link to the very post, you cannot modify the link to make it link to custom pages or post.
Hope you understand.

Regards,
Mahesh

[Pratik]

@huca:
Thank you for using Catch Responsive Theme. Although this theme is translation-ready, the free version does not support multi-language plugins. And Pro version too officially supports WPML Plugin.

I will try to solve the issues you have mentioned but I am not 100% sure that they will work because our theme does not support this plugin.

1) the featured slider is not changing when switching languages
For this, you will need to do some customizations via child theme. For creating child theme, please follow this link. Then append code given in following link in the child theme’s functions.php file: http://pastebin.com/iSfBWshR

2) featured images remain the same for EN and CZ pages
This should be handled by plugin as it needs to create separate images holders for separate languages. Please contact their support

3) the logo link leads to CZ version when being on EN version of the webpage. This is really strange because the text after logo leads to correct EN version
This is really strange as both logo and text use same link(although generated separately) via a function home_url('/'). Can you try disabling any caching plugins and see if the problem persists?

[luismarioochoa]

Dear Mahesh,

Thank you for the solutions.

I am still struggling with the Featured Image Slider. I must have done something wrong and disabled its front end visible link/button, because I cannot conceive that only the Title of the Image functions as a link/button in the front end but only if visitors figure it out by hovering over it. There have to be a way to activate the excerpt within this text box to make it visible. I tried your recommendation on using Post/Page category slider but it takes me to either pages or posts and that’s not what I want to do, I want to show the images as they show now.

Why to offer link boxes for the image Title in the Featured Image Slider category in the back end if the links are nowhere to be found on the front end?
Please help me. Here is the link http://destinationvows.ca/

Thank you so much in advance
Luis

[Mahesh]

@chd3143: Sorry for that. I guess you mean Featured Content. Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Content=> Featured Content Options select Homepage/Frontpage in Enable Featured Content on option. Then select Demo Featured Content in Select Slider Type. And please make sure to check Check to Enable Slider option. Click Save & Publish, then check it on the home page if the it works.
Let me know if any problem.

Regards,
Mahesh

[smoothiechode]

Thanks so much Mahesh. Worked.

I like the theme a lot.

I do however have one more issue that I was wondering if you could help me with Mahesh.

When I go to appearance >> customize >> header image >> page/post featured header image size and select slider image it doesn’t seem to convert into a slider image and stays very large.

Do you know what might be causing this?

[Mahesh]

@chd3143: Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Slider select Homepage/Frontpage in Enable Slider on option. Then select Demo Featured Slider in Select Slider Type. Click Save & Publish, then check it on the home page if the slider works.
Let me know if any problem.

Dear Mahesh,

The images have the correct dimensions: 1680×720 more even the top (part of the same blue sky and green palm tree was cropped to keep the required size.

Here is a link to the site: http://destinationvows.ca

I am using Featured Image Slider. I don’t know how to upload images in the Post Page Category Slider so that they show as they are showing in the Featured Image Slider

Luis

[Mahesh]

@luismarioochoa: Please make sure the images used are of correct dimensions (1680×720). May be the white line is from image itself.
It would be easier if I could test the site.
And about the link/button, Which Featured Slider type are you using currently? Excerpt content with More button only works in Post/Page/Category slider type.
Let me know further.

Regards,
Mahesh

[luismarioochoa]

Tank you so very much!

I have there more questions:

1. Featured Slider: Is there a way to keep the opacity/transparency box permanently on at and not only when hovering over it? As per in Everest Theme
2. Is there a way to add a button or obvious link to the story linked to the feature image sliders so that people know they should click to read the story as in Everest Theme? Right now they have to assume to go to the opacity box to read what is in it, then click inside it to see the story.
3. On the 2nd image slider, there is a white thin line on top margin showing right above above the image, I have changed the image and keep the specified dimensions 1680x720px but it keeps on showing on the second image only (I have not tried adding a third image yet. How can I get rid of this? Unfortunately I have the theme on a local host (my computer so I cannot give you a link)

Thank you so much in advance.

Luis

[veerle]

I tried, but on mobile devices, the featured slider appears right and the blog posts appear left..

[Mahesh]

@hmiller: Sorry for the late reply.
1. Do you get any error message or just the featured content or slider disappears?

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

#featured-content .entry-title {
    text-align: center;
}

3. Thanks for the suggestion. Its is the base color for the theme. But you can change the colors to your desired colors through customizer, and as you said if you do need additional customization, Custom CSS area can be used.

Regards,
Mahesh
