@Kingfisher: Sorry to header that. I hope you are recovering fast.

Ok now I see that you are not taking about the header image but about the Featured slider. I see that you have removed the footer which is causing issue. The slider script will run in the footer and you have removed it. That is the reason it’s not sliding. So, please put it back and it will slide it.

@mosign: Did you try the code that I send you on http://catchthemes.com/support-forum/topic/menu-at-bottom-of-slider-featured-image/. When I add this code in our server child theme. Menu is showing below the slider.

// Unhook default Catch Responsive functions
function unhook_catchresponsive_functions() {
    remove_action( 'catchresponsive_after_header', 'catchresponsive_primary_menu', 20 );
}
add_action( 'init', 'unhook_catchresponsive_functions' );

//Adding menu after slider
add_action( 'catchresponsive_before_content', 'catchresponsive_primary_menu', 20 );

If this is not working in your site then, can you send me the code that you have in your child theme functions.php file. Also try increasing the value of add_action from 20 to like 40 and so on. So, you replace the code:

//Adding menu after slider
add_action( 'catchresponsive_before_content', 'catchresponsive_primary_menu', 20 );

with 40 like this:

//Adding menu after slider
add_action( 'catchresponsive_before_content', 'catchresponsive_primary_menu', 40 );

@carlo caccialanza: We haven’t make this theme compatible with qTranslate-X plugin. So, you might want to build child theme. For child theme and sample child theme, refer to http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/ and then add the following code in child theme functions.php file.

if ( ! function_exists( 'catchresponsive_invalidcache' ) ) :
/**
 * Template for Clearing WPML Invalid Cache
 */
function catchresponsive_invalidcache() {
	delete_transient( 'catchresponsive_featured_content' );
	delete_transient( 'catchresponsive_featured_slider' );
	delete_transient( 'catchresponsive_footer_content' );	
	delete_transient( 'all_the_cool_cats' );
} // catchresponsive_invalidcache
endif;

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'catchresponsive_invalidcache' );

@Juan: We are doing fine and we are slowing recovering.

Yes, it will not take custom post type. For that you need to build child theme, refer to child theme at http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/

1. Then copy catchbox_sliders() function to your child theme functions.php file and then edit the following code:

$get_featured_posts = new WP_Query( array(
	'posts_per_page' => $postperpage,
	'post__in'		 => $options[ 'featured_slider' ],
	'orderby' 		 => 'post__in',
	'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1 // ignore sticky posts
));

In the above code you need to add in post_type. So, it will be as below:

$get_featured_posts = new WP_Query( array(
	'posts_per_page'		=> $postperpage,
	'post_type'				=> 'post,events',
	'post__in'				=> $options[ 'featured_slider' ],
	'orderby'				=> 'post__in',
	'ignore_sticky_posts'	=> 1 // ignore sticky posts
));

Note: you need to change that events with your post type.

@mosign: It would have been easy for me to explain if you had your site live. So, I could check in your slider and featured image. Also, you shouldn’t edit any core theme files such as header.php, index.php, functions.php, style.css and so on which are inside catch-responsive theme directory. As all these edits will be reverted back to original when you update or upgrade your theme.

If you want to edit any core theme files then you need to build child theme and edit it. For child theme, check out http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/. You can download sample child theme from there and then add the following code in your child theme functions.php file.

// Unhook default Catch Responsive functions
function unhook_catchresponsive_functions() {
    remove_action( 'catchresponsive_after_header', 'catchresponsive_primary_menu', 20 );
}
add_action( 'init', 'unhook_catchresponsive_functions' );

//Adding menu after slider
add_action( 'catchresponsive_before_content', 'catchresponsive_primary_menu', 20 );

@alphaxyz: Abut the slider text. You slider image are too small that is why the text is not able to fill up. Please upload larger size images and it will fix this issue.

If you choose Slider Type as “Featured Image Slider”, then you can add title as much as you need it.

[Sakin]

@alphaxyz: We are all doing fine. But this frequent earthquake aftershocks are killing lot of people. We are also not feeling that well. Yesterday, I suddenly got fever. But we are trying to be strong and be safe. Thanks.

If you choose Slider type as “Featured Page Slider/Featured Post Slider/Featured Category Slider” then it will take “catchbase-slider” size of width 1200px and height 514px. So, if you upload less then this size then it will load your original image but in you upload image size greater then this then it will crop exactly in this size. But if you choose “Featured Image Slider” as the Slider type, then, theme doesn’t crop it. It will load the original image that you have uploaded.

@aj: It’s strange. Can you check your settings at “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options => Featured Slider Settings”. After this, try disabling plugin one by one as it might be plugin conflict issue with our slider. I will also email you and you can reply me there is it doesn’t work after all this.

[Sakin]

@Thomas: That loading time depend on your server and cache. So, we don’t have control on that with theme. If you are using latest version, then we have added “Image Loader” setting at “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options => Featured Slider Settings”.

For more about Image loader you can read this http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle2/demo/loader.php

[Sakin]

@aj: If you have latest version of Catch Base Pro theme then you can go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options”. Then in “Featured Slider Type”, you can choose the type. For example, you can choose “Featured Image Slider”. Then upload image one by one in “Featured Slide #1, Featured Slide #2, Featured Slide #3 and so on”. Also check in “Featured Slider Settings” for Enable slider on, effect and all. For more, check out theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-responsive-pro/#featured-slider

If this doesn’t work then, please send me your site URL and then I can check in.

@Hugh: You can refer to theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution/. If you want to disable the slider then go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Slider Options” and in “Enable Sidebar” option, you need to check in “Disable” and save change.

But if you like to add in your own. Then you can refer to post slider at http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/

@bennyvaldes: Sorry for that and thanks for your appreciation. Can you find the following css that I gave you earlier:

div.layout-978,
#mainmenu,
#featured-slider,
#featured-slider .slides,
#featured-slider .featured {
    width: 1170px;
}

Just replace above block of css with the following css:

div.layout-978,
#header #mainmenu,
.featured-slider,
.featured-slider .slides,
.featured-slider .featured {
    width: 1170px;
}

[Sakin]

@bennyvaldes: Your title is scrunched up together as there is css loaded from your google font plugin, which uses h1 letter-spacing as -5px. See the css:

h1 {
    font-family: "Roboto";
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: 100;
    letter-spacing: -5px;
}

So, either you need to rectify that from your google font plugin css or add in the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box:

#site-title {
    letter-spacing: 0;
}

If you want to increase the width of the site then you can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box:

div.layout-978,
#mainmenu,
#featured-slider,
#featured-slider .slides,
#featured-slider .featured {
    width: 1170px;
}
.featured img {
    width: 100%;
}
#main #content {
    width: 740px;
}
#content .col5 {
    width: 480px;
}
#main .sidebar {
    width: 400px;
}
#footer .powered-by {
    float: right;
}

@Brandon: When I check in your site. It’s loading fine. It’s just 2 second like that and slider changes after the image is loaded. You are try changing your Image Loader settings at “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options => Featured Slider Settings”

[Sakin]

@Rolando: Ok you can make your logo align left with menu by adding the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => custom CSS” box:
#header-content { margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; }

Fro slider, I don’t recommend you to change the size, if you want then I recommend you to use featured image slider and then upload image of your own size. then you can reduce the size by adding in the following css where you can change the width percentage.
#main-slider { width: 100%; }

[Sakin]

@Vivien: For this you need to use “Featured Image Slider”. Just go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options” and Select Slider Type as “Image Slider”, after this you can upload image and add custom link from “Featured Image Slider Options”. See this screencast http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/

For, more about slider and other options, please refer to theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/

[Sakin]

@Rolando: I don’t get it what you mean. You are using Simple Catch Pro theme, where you can use Featured Image Slider and upload any image size as per your need. See this http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/

[danielski]

and I want to change feature image size, I think I have to do this in catchbase-core.php, am I right?

`add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ );

// Add Catchbase custom image sizes
add_image_size( ‘catchbase-featured-content’, 400, 225, true); // used in Featured Content Options Ratio 16:9

add_image_size( ‘catchbase-slider’, 1200, 514, true); // used in Featured Slider Ratio 21:9

//One Archive Image
add_image_size( ‘catchbase-featured’, 780, 439, true); // used in Archive Landecape Ratio 16:9`

[Sakin]

@Sheila: First you need to Select the Slider Type from “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options => Featured Slider Type”. Then depending on the type, you can change it. For example, if you choose “Featured Image Slider”, then you can Select Image, Add in Title and Content as per your need and then “Save & Publish”. For Page, Category and post slider, it will take particular page/post title and excerpt content.
