I tried that but it didn’t work. Perhaps I’m using the wrong terminology. I have a featured slider as the main image at the top of the page, the primary menu is positioned above this featured image. I wish to move the menu below the image just above the words of the web page

Hello, I am also using “Featured Page Slider” in Catch Base Free theme – everything works fine but the slider stops at final slide rather than looping back to the beginning. I can’t find any control for this – is there some code I can add in?

[Mahesh]

Hi @rickm813,

Yes, there is an inbuilt setting for this feature in both themes.
You’ve already set the slider for the homepage only, so I’ll skip this one. The next in to enable Header Featured Image in all other pages excluding Homepage.
1. Go to “Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Header Image”.
2. Add an image you want as Header Featured Image or select any image from suggested if you’ve already uploaded.
3. Select “Excluding Homepage” option from “Enable Featured Header Image on” dropdown.
4. Click “Save & Publish” button and check.

Regards,
Mahesh

@snouks: Hi Andrea,

Oh you are using Gernman Language. Sorry, I don’t understand it and I am using Google translate to understand your support request.

I see that you are tying to add in Featured Slider. For this you can refer to theme instructions at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-responsive-pro/#featured-slider . First, you need to select slider type. Catch Responsive Pro supports 4 featured slider types to choose from: Featured Post Slider, Featured Page Slider, Featured Category Slider and Featured Image Slider.

For Featured Slider Options, go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider => Featured Slider Options”. Then use it as per your need.

@joein610:
1. Feature Slider
You can change the Demo Slider image to any image you like. First you need to select the slider type. Catch Responsive Pro supports 4 featured slider types to choose from: Featured Post Slider, Featured Page Slider, Featured Category Slider and Featured Image Slider. For more check it out at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-responsive-pro/#featured-slider

You image cycling though image is not happening. First, can you update theme to latest version 3.5.1 as you are using old version 3.0 where you have fixed so many issues. For change log refer to http://catchthemes.com/changelogs/catch-responsive-pro-theme/

2. Featured Content
It’s same. You can check out instructions at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-responsive-pro/#featured-content

Then I can check in why it’s not sliding. It might be plugin conflict issue as well. For this, you need to deactivate plugin one by one and check in.

@treboroom: Hi Robert,

The site you are referring to uses Full Width like our theme Clean Journal Pro, Full Frame Pro, Catch Flames Pro and Adventurous Pro. Check out at http://catchthemes.com/themes/category/premium/. But Catch Responsive Pro uses maximum fixed width. So, changing to this theme will be little difficult and you need lot of custom css. Best is to change the theme. Otherwise, try the following css:

.site {
    width: 100%;
}
#feature-slider .cycle-slideshow {
    max-width: 100%;
}
#feature-slider .cycle-slideshow img {
    width: 100%;
    height: auto;
}
/* 460px; */
@media screen and (min-width: 1100px) {
#header-featured-image,
#masthead,
#promotion-message,
#featured-content, 
.site-content,
#colophon {
    margin: 0 auto;
    width: 460px;
}
/* 520px; */
@media screen and (min-width: 1100px) {
#header-featured-image,
#masthead,
#promotion-message,
#featured-content, 
.site-content,
#colophon {
    width: 520px;
}
/* 560px; */
@media screen and (min-width: 1100px) {
#header-featured-image,
#masthead,
#promotion-message,
#featured-content, 
.site-content,
#colophon {
    width: 560px;
}
/* 660px; */
@media screen and (min-width: 1100px) {
#header-featured-image,
#masthead,
#promotion-message,
#featured-content, 
.site-content,
#colophon {
    width: 660px;
}
/* 740px; */
@media screen and (min-width: 1100px) {
#header-featured-image,
#masthead,
#promotion-message,
#featured-content, 
.site-content,
#colophon {
    width: 740px;
}
/* 960px; */
@media screen and (min-width: 1100px) {
#header-featured-image,
#masthead,
#promotion-message,
#featured-content, 
.site-content,
#colophon {
    width: 960px;
}
/* 1040px; */
@media screen and (min-width: 1100px) {
#header-featured-image,
#masthead,
#promotion-message,
#featured-content, 
.site-content,
#colophon {
    width: 1040px;
}
/* 1100px; */
@media screen and (min-width: 1100px) {
#header-featured-image,
#masthead,
#promotion-message,
#featured-content, 
.site-content,
#colophon {
    width: 1100px;
}
/* 1200px; */
@media screen and (min-width: 1200px) {
#header-featured-image,
#masthead,
#promotion-message,
#featured-content, 
.site-content,
#colophon {
    width: 1200px;
}

Sorry, I cannot make 100% sure about this css. It’s advance.

Hi @rflores,

The image displayed in the slider and the blog post is the same image i.e. Featured Image. The image used inside the post content has nothing to do with it. The image selected as featured image is automatically cropped to 210*210 image to be displayed in the post list as thumbnail.

Let me know if any problem.

Regards,
Mahesh

[Mahesh]

Hi @Robert,

For removing space between featured slider and featured content, go to “Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS” and add the following CSS.

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

For full-width slider, Sakin will answer it, its a bit complicated.

Regards,
Mahesh

[Sakin]

@adunning: You can add any number of posts in featured post slider. You can refer to http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/

[rflores]

Thanks Mahesh. A little more help please, so I understand the process for using images in a post and in an image slider. Currently, I have the “post slider” option selected. I use an image 210 x 210 and insert into post, and update. I’ll then select an image for slider that is 976 x 312 and select this image as a featured image into the slider. Is this correct? Sorry for the beginner questions, but I am very close to creating a good url for a beginner to this process.

Again, thank you very much for your assistance.

rflores

[Robert]

Thank @Mahesh. So I’m hoping to get the featured slider to look something like this ******* or ******. Also wondering about removing space between featured slider and featured content. My site is: http://www.theshokoshow.com/

[Mahesh]

Hi @Frank,

For that, first disable the slider. Go to “Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Slider=> Slider Options” and select “Disable” option in “Enable Slider” dropdown. Then go back to “Customize=> Header Image” and select “Entire Site, Page/Post Featured Image” option from “Enable Featured Header Image” dropdown. Click “Save & Publish” and check the front page.

Regards,
Mahesh

Hi
Thank you for your reply
Yes I’m admin. The problem is that when I modify an option in Dashboard=>Appearance=>Theme Options (with the “sliding panes”), nothing stay saved when the page reloads itself. In the same time when I look at the database there is an entry in wp_options called catchbox_options (in option_name column) with some datas stored serialized :

So I wondered if this was a problem of saving datas, or a problem of reading the datas stored once saved…
If I enter some CSS in the box “custom css”, nothing is saved either…

@adunning: Fist, can you explain in reference to your site URl what are you trying to do it. If you are using Catch Everest Free theme, then it only have post slider for that you can check out at http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/

[Pratik]

Hi @Julie,

Thanks for using Catch Everest Pro. The mountain image you are referring to must be from the slider. So to change that, you can follow the instructions here and look at Featured Slider section (Just do a Ctrl + F search with Featured Slider on that page). The instructions should be clear but if you still have problems, please let me know and I will assist you further.

[Mahesh]

Hi @rflores,

You have used the image for post’s featured image to fit in image slider. It will be automatically cropped to width 210px height 210px. Similarly, the image in the examples you’ve mentioned is cropped to 210px that is why only the center portion of image is shown.

I hope you understand.

Regards,
Mahesh

Hi @ABS,

For this, you have to create a child theme. You can find the details on how to create a child them here

Then in child theme’s functions.php file add the following function.

function fullframe_delete_slider_cache() {
    delete_transient( 'fullframe_featured_slider' );
}

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'fullframe_delete_slider_cache' );

Let me know if this solved your issue or not and please post your site url.

Mahesh

Hi @Gavin Lewis,

For this, you will need to do a bit of customization using child theme. Please follow following steps:
1. Create A Child Theme for Catch Evolution. Details for child theme is here

2. Then in your child theme, make a blank file content.php and add in following code:

<?php
/**
 * The child template for displaying content overriding parent theme
 *
 * @package Catch Themes
 * @subpackage Catch_Evolution_Child
 */
?>
<?php
	// get data value from theme options
	global $catchevolution_options_settings;
    $options = $catchevolution_options_settings;
	$layout = $options[ 'sidebar_layout' ];
	if ( $layout == 'no-sidebar-full-width' ) { 
		$imagesize = "featured-slider-larger";
	} 
	else { 
		$imagesize = "featured-slider";
	}

This will add the featured image in the full content. Let me know if this solves your issue or not.

I have the same problem with incompatibility between the sticky widget plug-in and the catch theme featured slider. Do you remember what you did to the sticky widget settings to make the featured slider work?

[alan]

Several days ago I installed Catch Themes Pro to my website. The featured slider enabled on my homepage was working fine with 3 uploaded images. This morning the slider stopped working altogether. I’ve tried

disabling/then re-enabling;
disabling/then re-enabling the demo
deleting the images and then re-loading the images

but nothing works.
The only thing that displays on my homepage is the first (of three) image with arrows to the left and right of the image. The little circles on the lower center of the image no longer appear (along with the loss of function). Can anyone help?
