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.

@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.

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?

@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.

Regards,
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh. That demo website loads up just fine. Meanwhile the load up of my website is sporadic. Sometimes it loads correctly, sometimes it does not.

I have 8 images in the featured slider. Could that be the problem? Do I have too many? Should I reduce the number of images?

[Pratik]

Hi @luismarioochoa,

I get it now, can you try this:
1. Goto Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Slider
2. Under Select Slider Type Select Featured Post Slider
3. Then you will be able to scroll below(notice the scroll bar lengthens), which will have Featured Post 1, Featured Post 2 boxes
Ref: Screenshot
4. Then in the box, add in the ids of your post. If you do not know how to find your post’s ID, then please install Catch IDs plugin or Catch Web Tools Plugin and enable Catch IDs Module

Tutorial is here: https://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/full-frame-pro/#enable-featured-post-slider

Let me know how it goes.

One question regarding that topic:
Is it possible to just increase the bottom padding/margin of the Featured Slider? Otherwise i have no space between the Featured Slider and the image of the last post if i open the site with a smartphone in portrait mode.

[Pratik]

hi @luismarioochoa,
Thank you for purchasing Full Frame Pro. For slider details, please visit Theme Instructions #Featured Slider.

Let me know if you have further troubles.

Hi @Markus,

If that is the case, then you need to do a bit of customization via child theme. For that , first Create a child theme. Details for child theme are here.

Then in your child theme’s functions.php add the following codes.

function catchflames_child_manage_image_size() {
    remove_image_size( 'featured-slider-full' );
    add_image_size( 'featured-slider-full', 1600, 400, true );
}
add_action( 'init', 'catchflames_child_manage_image_size' );

Then use Regenerate Thumbnails plugin once to generate thubmnails. You can visit this link for the plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

Hi @Markus,
Can you go to Appearance=> Customize=> Header Image and under Page/Post Featured Image Size select Full Width Slider Image. This should keep the image size of the page post featured image as header image.

Let me know how it works.

Pratik

Hey there!

I’ve the same problem. I’m no longer able to change images in slider. There is only the possibility to activate the slider on hole page, homepage or deactivate it. It is the same with the featured content. Is there any other possibility than reinstall wp? I have a production page and i would like to fix this problem as simple as possible.

Thanks for your help.

[Brian]

I’ve tried it on several phones and a tablet at my house and I only get the featured slider and the mobile menu to work properly about 50% of the time. Any thoughts?

[Mahesh]

@ralph: Do you mean that only Enable Featured Content option is there in Featured Content? In Catch Responsive theme in Customizer‘s Featured Content option, all options are hidden if Disabled is selected in Enable Featured Content option. Change the option to Homepage or Entire Site and check if other options are visible.
Note: Make sure if you choose homepage, you are on the homepage in Customize Preview on the right side, or you won’t see the options.
Same with Featured Slider.
Let me know if any problem occurs.

Regards,
Mahesh

So does this mean without any warning you removed the Featured Post Slider from the free version of Catch Box?? I’m not very happy about that, if that’s the case. Or are you saying that the slider will return when you issue the fix?

[robertl]

You’re a genius! Thanks so much Mahesh.

I’m not sure if this issue is related or not but on my iPad, everything displays fine with the featured slider and partial description in each slide. But on my iPhone 5, it doesn’t show the description (highlighted in the red here): http://prntscr.com/awxj2h

Do you know if this is related or could there be a CSS fix for it?

Thanks,
Rob

[Mahesh]

@dt2791 and @rmcq-web: Sorry, there has been a small bug in the theme, this will be fixed on the next release. We will release the quick-fix update. We’ll let you know as soon as the update is available.
And about “Homepage or Entire Site option is selected in Enable Slider “, sorry this option is not available in Catch Box Free version. I was confused and mentioned the option of Catch Box Pro.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Note: Check to Exclude Slider posts from Homepage posts: If you are displaying latest posts in your home page, checking this option will hide the post that you’ve selected as Featured Slider Post from the post list. Hope you understand.

Regards,
Mahesh

Hi everyone,

I am sorry for the delay posting my comment. Firstly, Mahesh was really awesome, quick response and efficient.

The issue with my site was not about the plugins (I had tried than) but the widgets. Mahesh removed some of them on my pages and it fixed the issue.

However, I had no choice than to add again some of these widgets on my site, I need them. And, unfortunately, the result is that the featured slider works only when it wants or takes longer to upload. And, it does’t matter which browser. Therefore, I keep monitoring it on sometimes remove widgets as needed.

Thank you again Mahesh. I love my Catch Flames Pro theme anyway!
Merci,
Stephanie
