@Dolomie: Sorry your question is bit confusing. Do you mean that you want your slider to show in entire site. If so then you can go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider => Featured Slider Options” and in “Enable Slider on”, you need to select “Entire Site”

Hello Sakin,

I have a similar problem.

The text under the “Featured Page Slider” at my site has different lengths.
The box around the slider becomes bigger and smaller per each picture.

How can i fix it?

Thank you

Hi Sakin,

Ive played around with the CSS and I cannot figure out why on the iphone and ipad my featured content is coming up with the demo and not the featured content I want on there.

For example the slider image should have football team badges, an interview and a football pitch however it shows a mac on a sofa and a coffee meeting.

The featured content should show casino, transport, weather and music however it shows central park, home office and vespa scooter. Can you explain why this is showing and how I can fix it?

Also the menu is showing at the bottom when its opened on the iphone and not on the left hand side. When I was using the ‘catch responsive’ theme I was told to input the below CSS

@media screen and (max-width: 990px) {    
    .nav-primary { display: block; }
    .mobile-menu-anchor { display: none; }
}

which did work however this doesn’t work on ‘catch base’.

Regards,

Dan

Also, I’d like to let you know that I really like this theme. The only thing that I wish it has on it was “Featured Content” under the Home Page Slider.

Or this is something that we can ad?

[svoelker]

Yes, I believe so. There was a Slide Deck plugin that I deactivated or deleted because I thought the featured slider was native to the software so I didn’t need anything else. I can’t recall why i even installed it. I think at the time there was a feature in the slider I thought I need but discovered I really didnt.

What do I have to do to get the featured slider working?

Thanks Sakin.

Hi,
I am finding that this only works if I designate a specific image and when the theme uses the default no H1 is output. Approximately 70% of the site pages use a unique header image but the rest rely on the fallback so sorting this out would be a big help. I suspect I either need to move where I have the H1 call or add it somewhere else where the default is output. Also I want to add a couple more bits to this area so getting my head around where things over the image should be in the functions is key.

Settings:
Customize> Header Image: Entire Site, Page/Post Featured Image
Featured Header Image Position: After Secondary Menu (I’m not using one)

My Functions code in child theme:

if ( ! function_exists( 'fullframe_archive_content_image' ) ) :
	/**
	 * Template for Featured Image in Archive Content
	 *
	 * To override this in a child theme
	 * simply create your own fullframe_archive_content_image(), and that function will be used instead.
	 *
	 * @since Full Frame 1.0
	 */
	function fullframe_archive_content_image() {
		$options 			= fullframe_get_theme_options();
		
		$featured_image = $options['content_layout'];
			
		if ( has_post_thumbnail() && 'full-content' != $featured_image ) { ?>
 
<header class="entry-header">
	<h1 class="entry-title">

Thanks again for getting me this far, hoping you can help me finish this too.

Sakin, sorry I had to put the site in private. The menu size in now fixed, though, thank you!

Is there a way of removing the home page’s actual box that you write in? The bit where you go to “pages” > “home” > “edit”. I don’t need that box to show on the front page anymore, but want everything else to remain: header, slider, menu, background image and Featured content etc. Thanks

[Stephen]

Gi’day Sakin, no dramas – got it sorted – child themes sorted – I just had to figure out the mechanics of how the various catchresponsive functions worked and how and when they were called……. it was the functions associated watch the catch_responsive_featured_slider() or more specifically the slide overlay text that I needed to sort out which I found to be constructed in the function catchresponsive_image_slider().

Thanks for your assistance in pointing me in the right direction.

Stephen

[Sakin]

@Stephen: I have already given you the instruction for advance customization. I will explain it little more. First, you need to build child theme. Then you can copy the functions which you want to edit to your child theme functions.php file.
1. Function catchresponsive_featured_content_display() is the final function which display the featured content. It checks which featured content type you have selected.
2. Function catchresponsive_post_content() is the function which handles the featured post content. So, if you have selected Featured Post slider then you might want to check this. For page it will be catchresponsive_page_content(), category will be catchresponsive_category_content() and image will be catchresponsive_image_content()

[Sakin]

@Hair Bear: For left align image in your slider you can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box:

#main-slider img {
    float: left;
}

But if you want it right, then you need to add in the following css instead:

#main-slider img {
    float: right;
}

For slider effect, you have option in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options => Transition Effect”

Yes, you can move your Featured Content below your home content. So, that you have home content just below the slider. For that, go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Content => Featured Settings => Featured Content Position” and check in “Before Footer”

Also there is on option to add Headline content below your slider from “Appearance => Theme Options => Promotion Headline Options” and add in manual content.

My featured slider keeps randomly disappearing. Everything looks fine on the back end. My site is http://www.cclse.org. Can you take a look? Thanks!

[Stephen]

Thanks Sakin.

I want to change it programmatically as I was thinking of updating it based on an external (legacy, non wordpress) database where the featured content is changed by a proprietary external application.

I am new to wordpress, but very happy with complex custom web development – proficient in php, javascript, html, css etc. – I am currently trying to navigate my way around the whole wordpress theme customisation regime.

I actually have another question, (although I think your response may have helped me) – I would really like to be able to include some php/html in the title and content that overlay the featured slider. My reason… I would like to make that a search box where the user can specify few search options…… A hovering search box over the featured slider will work well in the application I am developing.

At the moment I have done a bit if debugging with the theme and can see where the catch_responsive_featured_slider() function is called when the featured page is customised, but I can’t (yet) see what actually executes the html constructed during the customisation.

I was keen to work out how to write a a bit of child theme code to override the default customer slider title and content display.

….but – I suspect your last post may give me a clue….. ie. the catch_responsive_featured_content_display() may be where I should go and investigate…?

Thanks.

Oh, along with how to move the slider to one side (but not right to the edge), I’d also like to know how to put the content of the home page directly below the slider (so just above the “Featured Content Headline Text”)?

And is there a way to have the slider change images without an effect (without fading etc)? Thanks!

[Pier]

Hi,
I listened to your advice and bought yesterday ‘Catch Kathmandu Pro’, ‘Catch Everest Pro’-like, but with a few more features, so I continue discussion here.

‘Featured Image Slider’ allows me to link posts, pages, categories, external link, but I’m obliged to insert TITLE and CONTENT manually.

Since the most of the sliders of my site are from posts and pages of the site itself (where I periodically change a part of title and content), do you think it is possible, in a future release, to have an option (global or for each slider in ‘Featured Image Slider’) to capture automatically title and content when the link is to a page or post of the site?

It would be very appreciated, no need to update each slider manually when I modify posts or pages.

Thanks in advance, hope you can help me.

Pier

[Sakin]

@toni: For full slider, go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options => Slider Layout” and select “Full Width Slider”

[Sakin]

@Pier: If you want mixed slider, then I recommend you to upgrade to pro version and use “Featured Image Slider”, when you can upload image and link to any page, post, category, external links as per your need.

[Sakin]

@Tracey: Yes, I understand and this is the design that works like that. So, if you want same image to work on all.
Then
1. For slider and featured content, please user Featured Image Slider and Featured Image Content.
2. Then for featured image, upload image size of 800px width and height 484px. This is size of featured image size.
3. Then go to “Appearance => Customize => Layout Options”. Then in ” Archive Content Layout”, select the option “Excerpt Image Top” and in “Single Page/Post Image Layout”, select option “Featured Image Size”.

[Sakin]

@Tracey: You cannot change the size of featured image in latest post in your homepage. The only option for latest post in your homepage is to change the “Archive Content Layout” layout.

For slider, you can choose slider type as “Featured Image Slider” from “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider => Featured Slider Options => Select Slider Type”. Then you can upload image of any size you like. It will not corp. It give you option to upload image, add title and excerpt content and link as per your need.

For Featured Content do the same, you can choose slider type as “Featured Image Content” from “Appearance => Customize => Featured Content => Featured Content Options => Select Content Type”. Then you can upload image of any size you like. It will not corp. It give you option to upload image, add title and excerpt content and link as per your need.

For latest post, you can option to select image display position from layout. For that, go to “Appearance => Customize => Theme Options => Layout Options” and then change Archive Content Layout.

Hi, sorry I spelt it wrong above http://www.thetradieswife.co.nz/
Mainly my landing/front page. I upload a featured image and the top slider image is long horizontal, the next section down the featured post images are horizontal but the edges are cut off (compared to the slider image) and then the next section down where it shows the list of posts, the thumbnail next to it is square.
Is there a way to upload 3 different sized images? Or alternatively make all 3 sections images the same shape?

[Sakin]

@oleymedia:
1. In Catch Responsive Pro theme, you can enable Slide only in Homepage.
— Go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider => Featured Slider Options” and select “Homepage / Frontpage” from “Enable Slider on” options
2. Then you can enable header image excluding homepage
— Go to “Appearance => Customize => Header Image” and select “Excluding Homepage, Page/Post Featured Image” from “Enable Featured Header Image on” options
3. Now, add featured image in your page/posts. See this for adding featured image http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-wordpress-postpage/ . As these featured image will be displayed in that page/post display. If those post don’t have featured image then it will load default image set in “Appearance => Customize => Header Image”
4. Now to move header image below menu, go to “Appearance => Customize => Header Image” and select “After Menu” from “Featured Header Image Position” options
