Hi @Markus,

Can you check the site now? The header image is coming up properly.

Edit:

What you meant was Featured Slider not Header Image. To change it, Please follow the https://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-flames-pro/ and search for Featured Slider.

This should help you change the match stick image.

@hoffmen99: Thank you for using Catch Responsive Pro. I checked the theme and seems to be an bug in the slider. Our team has found the bug and fixed it. The issue will be fixed on the next update ( will be available soon ). If its urgent for you, you can fix it manually. Find catchresponsive-featured-slider.php inside theme_directory/inc folder, go to line 53 you will see following code:
data-cycle-fx="'. absint( $options['featured_slide_transition_effect'] ) .'"
Change this to
data-cycle-fx="'. esc_attr( $options['featured_slide_transition_effect'] ) .'"
Note: The thing need to change is absint to esc_attr.

Thank you for letting us know the bug.

Regards,
Mahesh

@tdejarnett: Format the text do you mean to change font size? Since you header text in the slider are long, using small font will fix the issue. Go to “Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS” box and add the following CSS.

/* Adjust Featured Slider's header font size */
#feature-slider .entry-title {
    font-size: 20px;
}
/* Adjust Featured Slider's content font size */
#feature-slider .entry-content {
    font-size: 15px;
}

Note: Please adjust the font size as you required.

Let me know if any problem.

Regards,
Mahesh

@jdc: I checked the theme as per your testing. But didn’t run to any problem. It worked fine. As you’ve mentioned, that your production site is working fine but you are getting problem in your test site only. I navigate to the Featured Slider in customizer and can upload the image again normally. I guess there is a problem in your WordPress installation on your test site. I recommend you to install a fresh copy of the WordPress and test the theme again.
The login in “preview area” may be also caused by the above issue.
Let me know if the problem persist.

Hi @pedrokraft,
To remove the links, you need to use Featured Image Slider instead of the Featured Page/Post/Category Slider. This is a custom slider. You can add only images title and content.

Its details are here: https://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-responsive-pro/#enable-featured-image-slider

Let me know if this works or not.

@dolomie: If you want slider in your entire website, you can do it with customizer setting. Go to “Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Slider” and choose Entire Site in Enable Slider on.
And for the other problem, the image is not showing in the Nextget Slider because the src attribute in img tag in slider is empty. May be you haven’t selected images for the slider.

Regards,
Mahesh

OK thanks, now I have another problem. I would insert at the top of a page a basic slideshow (like Nextgen) instead of the static image defined under featured image. Because when I remove this than I have no image in the image slider on the homepage.
Other problem is that in the Nextgen Basic slideshow there is a blank zone under the foto and the next text.

Thanks
Patrick

Thanks for this – it seems to be OK now.

On the same subject, is there a way to limit the number of lines of text that appear under the featured image in the slider? At the moment the slider box grows & shrinks as the amount of text changes and causes a ‘jumping’ effect of the header of the front page section underneath. Thanks.

[Mahesh]

@smartie_pants: Yes it is possible. For this please see the steps in the theme instruction in below link (How to enable Featured Image Slider?)
https://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/chicago-pro/#enable-featured-image-slider.
Note: As you select Featured Image Slider in Slider Type, select the images you want to display in slider in Featured Slide# Image
Let me know if any trouble.

Mahesh

@alhenterprises: I assume you mean the image from the slider? If yes then you can download the default image first and then upload to the theme, and place your desired text to the in the text for slider.
For downloading image you can get if from image folder inside theme. All default images for slider/featured content is located here. Or go to “Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Slider Options” and select Demo Slider in Select Slider Type and then go to Front end and download the image from browser and again upload in the theme.

	remove_action( 'catchresponsive_before_content', 'catchresponsive_promotion_headline', 30 );

@rflores: If you are using image slider, you can use a square image in the post featured image and it will display square image in blog list. I thought you were using post slider, so earlier I mentioned it won’t fix the issue. But you are using different slider, it will work. 🙂
Let me know if any trouble.

Hello Mahesh. We added the functions.php code to get away from the thumbnail image being cropped. This worked but I want a square thumbnail. I am currently using image post slider. If I change to image slider, will this change allow me to upload square images as featured images in the Home page when. I hope I am explaining myself clearly.

Thanks for for your help.

[Mahesh]

Hi @rflores,

For that, you’ll need to remove the code in child theme’s functions.php that I provided you earlier and run Regenerate Thumbnails once.
As you are using post’s featured image in your slider and uploading 212 x 212 square image won’t fix the issue as slider will use the new uploaded image too.
Hope I made you clear.
Let me know if any problem.

Mahesh

Hi Karen,
Here is my reply:

Hyphenation is on most pages but just seems to be when viewing on desktop, not seeing it when looking on mobile.

You can add following CSS code in Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options => Custom CSS box:

p {
  -moz-hyphens: none;
  -ms-hyphens: none;
  -webkit-hyphens: none;
  hyphens: none;
}

This should disable hyphen in most places. Let me know if this does not do it. Provide me the link for that page/post and I will look into it again.

I have already enabled email and telephone via social links but would prefer to have actual phone number and email displayed rather than an icon. Is this possible please?

It is possible, but you will need to have a bit of knowledge about customization, CSS and HTML. OR you can upgrade to Pro version that has a Widget Area in that place, os you can just add the widget you require there.

To do it in free version, first you need to make a Child Theme. Its details are here.

Then, in the Child Theme’s functions.php file, you will need to copy lines 201 to 218 from current theme at catch-responsive/inc/catch-responsive-structure.php and then add your HTML code after line 216. Your function should look like this.

Image slider – can i turn off the box and description that is overlaid on bottom of each image, i really dislike this. Is this a pro function?

In pro version, you can use Featured Image Slider and remove this box. In free version, you can hide this by adding following CSS code in Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options => Custom CSS box:

#feature-slider .entry-container {
    display: none;
}

Let me know how it works out.

Regards,
Pratik

Hi @creatativesigns,

Here is the reply to your questions:

What code is needed to turn off hyphenation.

Can you please post in your site url so that I can check and see where hyphenation is occurring. Also, it will be better if you can point me to where the undesired hyphenation is occurring. Then I can provide you with custom CSS.

Can i add actual email address and telephone number to header section.

You can add the email address and phone via Appearance=> Customize=> Social Links. There should be options to add your email and phone number. The icons will show up on saving the icons in your social icons area.

How can i change colour of social icons and the contact details i would like in header.

You will need to add them, then give me your site url. Then I will provide you with CSS code to change it.

Do i need pro to be able to use image slider?

The free version only supports Featured Page Slider. If you upgrade to pro version, you will be able to use Featured Image Slider. Mode details about free and pro version here.

If i buy pro can i use it on more than one site as we are going to have a couple of sites at work.

Yes you can use it on multiple sites.

Pratik

hi @pulsedata,

For now, you can goto Appearance=> Theme Options => Featured Post Slider=> Number of Slides and set the desired number from there. Here, there should be no restriction.

Hi allan,

Thank you for using Simple Catch Pro.
1. I don’t see the space between the bottom of the featured image slider and page content. The slider in your site and demo seems almost similar.
2. The text in block quotes are all in Uppercase because you have put the text in h5 tag. And by default, the theme’s css will change text to uppercase for h3, h4, h5 and h6 tags. Remove the h5 tag and the text will appear as it is (without CAPS).

Regards,
Mahesh
