@Christine: Looks like you are trying to change Featured Demo Slider with your own Image. For that, check out theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/full-frame-pro/#featured-slider
1. First, you need to select the slider type from “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider => Featured Slider Options”
2. Then depending up the slider type you need to setup accordingly. If you select Featured Image Slider, then you need to upload image, title, content and link as per your need from “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider => Featured Slider Options”
If you choose Featured Page slider, then you need to select the page. These pages will replace the demo slider. Same with post slider and category slider. But make sure you have added in featured image in those page/post.

@freebird: Thanks for reporting. We found that this issue is there only in Featured Post Slider. We will fix this in next version update. For now, you can add the following css in “Appearance => Customize => Theme Options => Custom CSS Options” box:
#feature-slider .cycle-slideshow .slides { width: 100%; }

Hey Sakin,

thanks for your reply, but there’s still the problem with the page slider :(. I now selected only 2 pages for the slider: “Frauen” and “D-Jugend” and I defnitively defined a featured image. But now there are 4 pages in the slider (4 points) – the last two points/links are empty?! The first page in the slider is still not shown correctly. It is always mixed with the last post (headline and image) on my website and the first part of the text of the linked page. It’s really weird and only appears with pages with a post carousel included.
And is it possible to set another propery that dictates, how many characters are shown up in the slider? Now it is the same number as defined for the preview of posts?!

Maybe it’s possible to give you an adminitration account? Or doesn’t it make any sense?

Thx for that Sakin! I’ll check the Read More and FB issues accordingly.

One other thing – may be a feature – I’ve used the recommended sizes for featured images for the Post Slider at the top of the homepage – it now appears okay on smaller screens – but seems to have a maximum stretch in that on larger screens it doesn’t stretch across the full page and leaves an odd looking gap on either side.

Also, I’m clicking ‘notify me of follow-up replies via email’ after my posts on the support forum threads and amn’t receiving emails (I’ve checked my junk mail and not there either).

Very much appreciate the full responses ye’ve given me. 🙂

@Tomáš: Heading line height is correspond to heading font size like h1, h2, h3, h4. But featured slider used different. You have change the slider title and content font size as per your need and add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box:

@media screen and (min-width: 961px) {
    #main-slider .entry-header .entry-title { font-size: 24px; }
    #main-slider .entry-content { font-size: 16px; }
}

Thought I would see if I could catch you to look at terroircongress.org

The disappearing featured post sliders are gone again. Over the weekend they were working mostly, but down two times at different points in the day and for differing amounts of time.

Thanks,
Greg

@epainton: Catch Everest Free theme only have options to use “Featured Post Slider” which will replace the demo slider. For that you need to create post and then add in featured image in that post. For featured image, check out http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-wordpress-postpage/. Then you need to go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Featured Post Slider Options” and add in your post ID. For post slider, check out http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/

Note: you have more options in pro version, where you can replace that demo slider image with Page Slider or Post Slider or Category Slider or Featured Image Slider. For image slider, check out http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/

@TerroirCongress: But we don’t have control over http and https. It all depends on your server configuration. The post slider just take the post ID and get in featured image of that post.

[TerroirCongress]

Thank you for the response, checked with my IT department and what we are seeing is that the images in the featured post sliders flip back and forth between http and https access. All of the images are specified as having URLs with http in the Media management, but for some reason the page flips to https and it happens randomly … Monday and Tuesday it was fine all day, Wednesday it flipped to https for about 6 hours, then back by the time you looked at it.

All other images on my site work fine, it is just the featured post sliders.

Thanks,
Greg

@Delle: But you page slider is working fine. Your page http://wp.fsv02schwerin.de/?page_id=11 is not there in Page Slider. You need to select that page and then only it will show. Also make sure that you have added in featured image in that page.

[Sakin]

@vladvasal: Can you post in your site URL and then I can check in your pages. Catch Responsive Free version only have option to use Featured Page Slider. You can only select page not posts. For post slider or image slider or category slider, you need to upgrade to Pro version.

[TerroirCongress]

5 minutes after I posted this query, the featured post sliders started working again!

Any idea what is going on here?

Thanks,
Greg

Hello … read through this and other posts on the feature sliders not showing up, can’t figure out where my problem lies.

I am using the Catch Everest Theme on my site terroircongress.org

The nine featured post sliders on my home page show up fine half the time and then the images don’t show up the other half of the time (only the text and grey boxes). This happens off and on without any pattern. Right now they are not showing, but later tonight they might show up. I think it has to do with mixed access between http and https, but I cannot figure it out, please any help would be greatly appreciated.

@Carlo:
1. For margin, go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Header Options” and then change “Header Bottom Margin” as per your need.
2. There is no option to change that fixed header image with video or slider. But you can add additional slider just below the menu. For that, you need to go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options”, then select “Featured Image Slider” in “Select Slider Type” and “Full Width Slider” in “Slider Layout”. Then you can upload image from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Image Slider Options”. For more about image slider, check this http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/

@paulFort2: Ok you can hide it by adding the following css in “Appurtenance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box:

#slider-wrap .featured-text { display: none; }

[Sakin]

@jadeprince: That is simple. Just go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider = Slider Options” and in “Enable Slider”, you need to select “Homepage / Frontpage” and save it.

I went to the page you referenced and downloaded the catch-responsive-child theme. I added the code you provided to the bottom of the functions.php file. I activated the child theme. When I look at my site now, on the front page my content is gone and the demo contents are there for the featured posts and slider (but the menu contains all my pages). I go to edit one one of my pages and I do not see where there is anything for adding a custom excerpt.

Did I do something wrong? Sorry I am not experienced at this….

[Sakin]

@gernot: In Free version, you only have option to use Featured Page Slider. So, you can just create page, add featured image in those pages. Go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider => Featured Slider Options => Select Slider Type” and then select “Featured Page Slider” and finally the pages that you want to show in slider. For more about page slider, refer to http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-adaptive/#featured-slider-content

If you want more dynamic like Featured Image Slider and all then you need to upgrade to pro version. See the additional features that you will get in pro version at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-adaptive-pro/

[Sakin]

@Harry: Ok for that you need to replace the previous code with the following:

function catchresponsive_featured_slider() {
	if ( is_front_page() ) : ?>
	<section id="feature-slider">
		<div class="wrapper hentry">
				Add in Video here 
		</div><!-- .wrapper -->
	</section><!-- #feature-slider -->
	<?php endif;
}

Then add the following css in your child theme style.css
#feature-slider .hentry { margin: 0; }
