Could you please share the solution of how to move the text in the Featured Slider left or right?

[Paul T]

In the above request… I think it is more correct to say the following in the second paragraph..

However, on mobile devices, since the menu is different, there is no border between the BACKGROUND IMAGE and the featured content slider, and the two images clash. I would like to put a border, or a black line at the bottom of the BACKGROUND IMAGE on mobile devices only.

hope that clarification helps and does not confuse!

@hmiller: There is no color options for those two in the customizer, if you want to change the default color, you can use Custom CSS. If you want, we can help you further.

I tested the theme with Jetpack Extra Sidebar option, and everything is working fine. Featured Content and Featured Slider are displaying fine. If you have other plugins, try disabling it and check if it resolves the issue.

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

/* Remove lines between links on the sidebar */
.widget ul li {
    border-bottom: none;
}
/* Change background Color of the sidebar */
#secondary {
    background-color: #bbb;
}

Let me know if any problem. Please post in your site url.

Mahesh

Hello,

Is there a shortcode for the featured slider, if you want to use it somewhere else in the theme?

[Mahesh]

@allindesign: Have you added featured image to your pages as in this video?
https://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-wordpress-postpage/
If not please add, and the image will appear.
If you do have featured image add in the page already and its not displaying, try disabling plugins one by one and check if it resolves the issue.

Have you selected same page in all three slides in the Featured Slider?
Let me know further.

Regards,
Mahesh

@pratik All pages have a featured slider, still not appearing in the slider! URL is allindesign.ie

@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.

Mahesh

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

[Sakin]

@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.

[Su]

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.

Su

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.
