@moon:
Hi Juan,
Thank you for using Catch Responsive Pro.
1. There are currently 9 posts per page and I want to show 5.
The posts per page is working fine. The issue you are facing is because of the Sticky posts. Currently in your site’s homepage, 9 posts are being displayed because all of them are set as sticky. But if you click on older posts at the bottom, it will show only 5 posts, which show the post per page function is working fine. You’ll need to edit each post and remove sticky for all those post. Go to Posts page in Dashboard, and edit a sticky post. Then in edit post page, you’ll see publish tab at the right top, in that tab look for Visibility: Public, Sticky Edit, click on edit some options will slide down, uncheck Stick this post to the front page and click update. Repeat this for other sticky posts too.

2) Margins (empty spaces) between objects/sections
This CSS removes the spaces between slider and posts. Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following CSS:

#feature-slider {
    padding-bottom: 0;
}

2.1): There is an option Featured Header Image Position in Customizer’s Header Image which helps you position the header image. But if you are trying to have header image before menu in desktop, and after menu in mobile devices, this is not possible.

3) Center the footer with custom social icons
Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following CSS:

#catchresponsive_social_icons-8 .widget-wrap {
    text-align: center;
}

Let me know if any problem.

Regards,
Mahesh

@monicavilas: Actually, Catch Base free doesn’t support multi-language and you might want to consider using Catch Base Pro theme. But as per your message, you are saying it’s working in customizer then can you try adding the following code in your child theme functions.php file:

if ( ! function_exists( 'catchbase_wpml_invalidcache' ) ) :
/**
 * Template for Clearing WPML Invalid Cache
 *
 * To override this in a child theme
 * simply create your own catchbase_wpml_invalidcache(), and that function will be used instead.
 *
 * @since Catch Base Pro 3.0
 */
function catchbase_wpml_invalidcache() {
	delete_transient( 'catchbase_featured_content' );
	delete_transient( 'catchbase_featured_slider' );
	delete_transient( 'catchbase_footer_content' );	
	delete_transient( 'catchbase_promotion_headline' );
	delete_transient( 'catchbase_featured_image' );
	delete_transient( 'all_the_cool_cats' );	
} // catchbase_wpml_invalidcache
endif;

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'catchbase_wpml_invalidcache' );

Hi again Sakin,
I’ve built another website with the same theme (which I love) and I am having the exact same issue as described many months ago..

I’ve built a website in three languages and now that is nearly done I realized there is one thing that doesn’t work.
In my featured slider images there is some text (some images are graphs with text). That’s why I’ve uploaded different images (featured image in each page) for each language.
When I’m on the main page and change language this images in the slider doesn’t change.
The strange thing is that when I preview the web while customizing the featured slider it does work (so the image change when switching languages).

I tried to add what you suggested months ago in my editor (I’ve built a child theme), but I had worse luck this time and didn’t work..
Could you give me a hint on how to solve this?

Your help is much appreciated!
Thanks,

Mònica

@joshs: I understand your problem. You are using Catch Responsive Free version and the theme has limited customization options and the problem you are facing is one of them. In free version, the featured slider has only two options, demo-slider and page-slider. The feature you seek is available in Catch Responsive Pro, there is an option featued-image-slider through which you can add image, title, content, link as you want in the slider. I recommend you to upgrade to Pro version.

Regards,
Mahesh

@stefanhoesli: Do you mean navigation arrows in Featured Slider? If so, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following CSS:

#feature-slider .cycle-prev::before, 
#feature-slider .cycle-next::before {
    display: none;
}

A box with 50% opacity for the Featured Category Slider would be great.

[alphaxyz]

Also, can you tell me how to add a box to wrap around the title in Featured Category Slider? The color of the text for the title follow the color the link that I set (blue) but when I put an image where the dominant color is blue the visitors won’t be able to read the title.

As I understand it, there is a box for the title text but it will only appear when a visitor hover the cursor to the title text.

That is why it would be great to have a box to wrap the title text.

Is there a solution to this?

@impressionsfromheaven:
1. Adjust font size: This can be done through Custom CSS.
Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following:

.featured-text .slider-title {
    font-size: 20px;
}

.featured-text .slider-content {
    font-size: 15px;
}

#access ul li a {
	font-size: 15px;
}

Note: Adjust the font-size as required.

2. Did you changed the image size in code? If so, you’ll need to use Regenerate thumbnails plugin once.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

3. Please use Jetpack Plugin’s Subscription module or any other plugins in http://wordpress.org/plugins that suits for you.

Hi @Victoria,
Are you using Featured Post Slider? If you are, then you will need to regenerate the thumbnails using Regenerate Thumbnails Plugin.

Let me know if you still face problems after regenerating the thumbnails. Also, please post in your site url.

Pratik

@impressionsfromheaven:
1. Image size/resolution depends on the area where you are uploading image. The recommended size in mention in theme instructions page at https://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/simple-catch-pro/#imagesizes

2. Sorry, there is no option to change the image size format. But you can change featured image type to “Featured Image Slider” and then upload image of your choice. See this for featured image slider https://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/simple-catch-pro/#enable-featured-image-slider

3. Italic is not option in Font options. Font option is only for changing font family. You can post in which element you want to change to italic with your site URL then we can give you custom css.

Thank you. I got it working now.

I was also wondering what is the highest/best resolution for images for simple catch pro? I uploaded an image and it is grainy.

Another question: most of my images are vertical and not horizontal like the featured image horizontal rectangle. Is there a way to change the format of the featured slider?

Thank you.

Hi @Nadia,
1. There looks to be an issue changing Transition Length from customizer as you have mentioned. For now, try changing that option from Appearance=> Theme Options=> Featured Slider(Tab)=> Slider Options=> Transition Length. We will fix the customizer issue in next version. Thank you for the report.

2. Since the site is not live, can you let me know which Slider type you are using? If it is Image Slider, then you will need to upload all images with same size. It it is Post, Page or Category Slider, then you will need to regenerate the thumbnails using Regenerate Thumbnails Plugin

Let me know how it goes.

Regards,
Pratik

sorry this doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t have any posts. I only have pages. The featured image is on a page.So I am guessing I can’t use the slider feature in Catch Box free.

[Sakin]

@nican: Yes, it’s supported only in Pro version or you need to build child theme (https://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/) and add the following code in your child theme functions.php file

if ( ! function_exists( 'adventurous_qtranslate_invalidcache' ) ) :
/**
 * Template for Clearing qtranslate Invalid Cache
 *
 * To override this in a child theme
 * simply create your own adventurous_qtranslate_invalidcache(), and that function will be used instead.
 *
 * @since Adventurous 1.0
 */
function adventurous_qtranslate_invalidcache( $menu_item ) {
	delete_transient( 'adventurous_post_sliders' );
	delete_transient( 'adventurous_page_sliders' );
	delete_transient( 'adventurous_category_sliders' );
	delete_transient( 'adventurous_image_sliders' );
	delete_transient( 'adventurous_homepage_headline' );
	delete_transient( 'adventurous_homepage_featured_content' );
	delete_transient( 'adventurous_footer_content' );	
	delete_transient( 'adventurous_footercode' );
	delete_transient( 'adventurous_featured_image' );
	
} // adventurous_qtranslate_invalidcache
endif;

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'adventurous_qtranslate_invalidcache' );

About the search, it should be automatically translated with your language files. Don’t change in theme options.

1. customizing featured slider. 2 slides, featured post ID #1 is on our instructors page. #2 is on children’s classes page.
2. save
3. no slider
4. designated pages have featured slider picture.
5. I save and go back to check the customizer and the ID is gone.
6. I don’t want it on the home page only the other pages.
7. I have watched the video and read the info.

[Barb]

sorry I was too rattled. http://www.beachsidetraining.com
the side widgets did come back eventually. Maybe I was moving too fast.
I have followed the instructions for the slider. 2 pictures, two featured images on 2 pages. maybe it has something to do with the way my header appears.
I also run legacy martial arts, legacymmausa.com. It represents 3 locations. Is there a way to have inquiries go to 3 different email addresses?

[Pratik]

Hi @Barb,
Please post in your site URL. Also, let me know which pages has problems.
For Slider, please follow these isntructions: https://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-box/#featured-slider

@mahesh,

Thank you for trying to explain this to me. I’m sure there’s some obvious step I’m ignorant of.

I want to modify only the HTML assigned to $catchadaptive_featured_slider in lines 46-78.
(I’ve used style.css to limit the slider to the left half of the screen, and I want to embed a calendar before </div><!– .wrapper –> of line 77 so it exists in the right half.)

Based on what you wrote above, I copied the catchadaptive_featured_slider function to my child theme’s functions.php file and modified it, but I’m still seeing the original HTML from the parent theme.

Please help me understand what I’m doing wrong.

[Mahesh]

@southpaw: If you are trying to modify Catch Adaptive’s Featured Slider, you don’t need to copy the whole catchadaptive-featured-slider.php. Just copy catchadaptive_demo_slider or catchadaptive_page_slider function whichever you want to override to your child theme’s functions.php file, and then modify the code as per your requirement.

Mahesh
