Thank you for the overlay – that works great.

I changed the Featured Slider to use Slider Type = Custom instead of a Post. I added the same image and now it is centered (was offset when I used Post as the source of the slider images). I can add Title and Content without anything changing. But, the 1920×720 image is expanded to fill the 1920×1200 screen, cropping off both sides and making everything else a little blurry. How do I simply keep the image to 720px height maximum?

Hello Skandha,

is it possible to put the Featured Slider Title “Featured Image-1, Featured Image-2 … to another place?
E.g. to the bottom right.

Kind Regards

@thetravelgal: Hello Cindy,
Can you please
Go to => Child Theme Folder => functions.php and add the following Code.

function remove_extra_image_sizes() {
	remove_image_size( 'catchresponsive-slider', 1200, 514, true ); // used for Featured slider Ratio 21:9

	remove_image_size( 'catchresponsive-featured-content', 350, 197, true ); // used in Featured Content and Portfolio Ratio 16:9

	remove_image_size( 'catchresponsive-hero', 528, 297, true ); // used in Hero Content

	//Archive Images
	remove_image_size( 'catchresponsive-featured', 860, 484, true); // used in Archive Top Ratio 16:9
	remove_image_size( 'catchresponsive-square', 200, 200, true ); // used in Archive Left/Right Ratio 1:1

	remove_image_size( 'catchresponsive-sm-square', 100, 100, true ); // used in Testimonials and Services Ratio 1:1

	remove_image_size( 'catchresponsive-stats', 40, 40, true ); // used in Stats Ratio 1:1
}
add_action('init', 'remove_extra_image_sizes');

And then regenerate the thumbnails.
Let me know if this works out!

To use the Slider
Go to => Appearance => Customize => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Enable the section and Select the pages you want on the slide and Publish.

Thank you so much for your answer! I will work on my images.

One (hopefully!) last question: how can I insert an image in the background as the one in the demo (https://catchthemes.com/demo/zubin-pro/), a little bit inside the featured slider?

Thank you so much for your kind attention.

Kind regards,
Camila

[camilavalgas]

Dear Skandha,

thank you so much, it worked!

Another question I have: in the theme demo (https://catchthemes.com/demo/zubin-pro/) there are some writings on the left side of the first slide, saying ‘collective design’. I have searched the option to write something like it but didn’t find anything. Do you know how can I activate this function to write some text on my featured slider as well?

Thank you!

Kind regards,
Camila Valgas

Oh, and if the text on the featured slider button would be customizable that would be awesome too. I use it for a gallery now, so “view gallery” would fit a lot more then ‘continue reading’…

[Skandha]

@jkwildlife: Hello there,
First remove the background image that you selected in the customizer and
Go to => Appearance => Customize => Additional CSS and add the following CSS Code.

#masthead {
    background-image: url("https://www.jeroenkloppenburg.photography/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/prints-logo-emails2.jpg");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
}

The Featured Slider order issue has been fixed and an update will be released soon. I will let you know when the update is released.

Let me know if this works out!
Kind Regards,

So, on the Alchemist Pro, there is “Image Overlay”, “Content Position” and “Text Alignment” are all there. Just go to “Appearance => Customize => Theme Options => Featured Slider”.
Please check this screenshot: https://cldup.com/0VPYyKldxm.png

[Skandha]

@camilavalgas: Hello there,
You will need to set featured images for the pages you have selected on the featured slider section> Then, the featured images will show up on the slider.

Let me know if you are still having issues with the slider.
Kind Regards,
Skandha

I cant really see any difference between those two screenshots.’

Anyway that aside, there are moer features that I want in alchemist pro than eterprise pro.

Is it POSSIBLE to have the Featured Slider:Image Overlay and Featured Slider: Content Alignment added to the Alchemist them somehow?

[Skandha]

@landyvlad: Hello Michael,

Featured Slider:Image Overlay is the feature to have an dark overlay over the slider image. You can control the opacity of overlay from 0 to 100.
Featured Slider: Content Alignment is the feature to align the text over the slider image on left,right or center.

Site Content Style: Classic or Modern Classic Style, Modern Style. You can check out the difference in these screenshots.
Menu Style: Classic or Modern: The menu you see in the demo is classic. Whereas the hamburger menu is modern menu style.

Let me know if this helps you out!
Kind Regards,
Skandha

Sorry for the multiple posts.

I’ve been through the specs of both pro themes in detail and I think the Alchemist theme has the edge for me as well.

I just have a couple of questions please regarding a few features that are listed for the Enterprise theme but not for Alchemy.

The Enterprise theme says it offers more slider types, specifically:
Featured Slider: Image Overlay
Featured Slider: Content Alignment
Are you able to explain these to me please?

The Enterprise theme also says it features:
Site Content Style: Classic or Modern
Menu Style: Classic or Modern
Are you able to explain these to me please? Are they just ‘shortcut’ styles meaning there’s not necessarily a need to create a different style – can just switch between two?

[tomdkat]

@Skandha We don’t need to use the “featured content slider” anymore since we got the “Logo slider” working. 🙂

Thanks!
