Hi Sakin–really sorry to be a pain, am just trying to work all of the issues out of the site and am hoping you can get back to me soon? I have figured out many answers to the queries above. my website is http://www.fantonphotography.com and the only remaining questions I have are:

1. How can I remove the darkened box that remains on “home”? I am ok with the boxes going dark as you hover over them with your mouse, but I would like the menu bar to be all one color when someone isn’t hovering over it.

2. I can’t seem to figure out how to change the color of the text in the footer (where it has copyright, my email and phone) can you please help me with this

3. I need to remove the “title” area above the banner in footer area on (above where all of the badges that say featured on are located)

4. I would like to trim the border slightly between the featured content and the featured slider is this possible

5. Do you have any advice about adding individual images (with links) so that they appear horizontally in the same footer area one (as opposed to a static jpg banner that I uploaded in its place.)

Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.

Great, it worked. Now is there a way to show this page before the actual Frontpage? I cannot define the intro page the “frontpage” because i want to use the slider and featured content on the actual “frontpage” just like it is now.

Just wanna say: YOU GUYS RULE!! 🙂

@Denys: Thanks for your access and cooperation. I check in your site and found that you have large image as background image and also 8 slider image which was making your site heavy and the slider code checks height after the slider is fully loaded. So, it take time to clear the height. So, I need to set data-cycle-loader="true" which will start slider after 2 images is loaded in slider. Then I see that you were using child theme. So, I simply added in the following code in your child theme functions.php file.

/**
 * Add slider.
 *
 * @uses action hook catchbase_before_content.
 *
 * @since Catch Base 1.0
 */
function catchbase_featured_slider() {
	global $post, $wp_query;
	//catchbase_flush_transients();
	// get data value from options
	$options 		= catchbase_get_theme_options();
	$enableslider 	= $options['featured_slider_option'];
	$sliderselect 	= $options['featured_slider_type'];

	// Get Page ID outside Loop
	$page_id = $wp_query->get_queried_object_id();

	// Front page displays in Reading Settings
	$page_on_front = get_option('page_on_front') ;
	$page_for_posts = get_option('page_for_posts'); 
 
	if ( $enableslider == 'entire-site' || ( ( is_front_page() || ( is_home() && $page_for_posts != $page_id ) ) && $enableslider == 'homepage' ) ) {
		if( ( !$catchbase_featured_slider = get_transient( 'catchbase_featured_slider' ) ) ) {
			echo '<!-- refreshing cache -->';
		
			$catchbase_featured_slider = '
				<section id="feature-slider">
					<div class="wrapper">
						<div class="cycle-slideshow" 
						    data-cycle-log="false"
						    data-cycle-pause-on-hover="true"
						    data-cycle-swipe="true"
						    data-cycle-loader="true"
						    data-cycle-auto-height=container
						    data-cycle-fx="'. $options['featured_slide_transition_effect'] .'"
							data-cycle-speed="'. $options['featured_slide_transition_length'] * 1000 .'"
							data-cycle-timeout="'. $options['featured_slide_transition_delay'] * 1000 .'"
							data-cycle-slides="> article"
							>
						    
						    <!-- prev/next links -->
						    <div class="cycle-prev"></div>
						    <div class="cycle-next"></div>

						    <!-- empty element for pager links -->
	    					<div class="cycle-pager"></div>';

							// Select Slider
							if ( $sliderselect == 'demo-featured-slider' && function_exists( 'catchbase_demo_slider' ) ) {
								$catchbase_featured_slider .=  catchbase_demo_slider( $options );
							}
							else if ( $sliderselect == 'featured-post-slider' && function_exists( 'catchbase_post_slider' ) ) {
								$catchbase_featured_slider .=  catchbase_post_slider( $options );
							}
							elseif ( $sliderselect == 'featured-page-slider' && function_exists( 'catchbase_page_slider' ) ) {
								$catchbase_featured_slider .=  catchbase_page_slider( $options );
							}
							elseif ( $sliderselect == 'featured-category-slider' && function_exists( 'catchbase_category_slider' ) ) {
								$catchbase_featured_slider .=  catchbase_category_slider( $options );
							}
							elseif ( $sliderselect == 'featured-image-slider' && function_exists( 'catchbase_image_slider' ) ) {
								$catchbase_featured_slider .=  catchbase_image_slider( $options );
							}

			$catchbase_featured_slider .= '
						</div><!-- .cycle-slideshow -->
					</div><!-- .wrapper -->
				</section><!-- #feature-slider -->';
			
			set_transient( 'catchbase_featured_slider', $catchbase_featured_slider, 86940 );
		}
		echo $catchbase_featured_slider;
	}
}

Note: for child theme and sample child theme you can refer to http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/

[Sakin]

@Sebastian: For that you need to build child theme and then add the following code in your child theme functions.php file. For child theme check out http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/

/**
 * Remove Slider cahce in qTranslate-X plugin 
 */	
if ( defined( 'QTX_VERSION' ) ) {
	delete_transient( 'fullframe_featured_slider' );
}

[Sakin]

@Carolina: You can hide that by adding in the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box:
#slider-wrap .featured-text { display: none; }

Hello, I’m using ‘Post Slider’ option. The homepage shows the sliders (from the featured image) and the excerpt content but not the title (the name of the post I suppose).
I don’t know if its important or not but just in case… the website is translated to two languages, I’m using mqTranslate plugin.

Thanks.

[Sakin]

@innova: In Catch Kathmandu Pro theme there are 4 different slider type, that is Page Slider, Post Slider, Category Slider and Image Slider. So, which slider you are working on. If you use post slider then it will take the featured image, title and excerpt content of that post. See this http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/. If you use the image slider, then you can add in image, title and content as per your need. See this http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/. So, which ever you choose, it will be like demo slider.

On Instruction Sheet:

Layout Options:
Default Layout: Option to choose from i. Three Columns(Secondary Sidebar, Content, Primary Sidebar),ii. Primary Sidebar,content (Right Sidebar), iii. Content, Primary Content (Left Sidebar) and iv. No Sidebar (Content Width)
Archive Content Layout: Option to choose from Show Excerpt and Show Full Content (No Featured Image)
Single Page/Post Image Layout: Option to disable/enable Single Single Page/Post Image Layout or Select Large, Medium, Full Size or Slider Image Size as Single Page/Post Image

I cannot find Archive Content Layout setting anywhere in layout settings. There is no place where I can choose “Show Excerpt” and “Show Full Content.” Could you explain where to find this?

Also, I asked this in another thread, but I cannot figure out how to make my featured image show up as thumbnail next to post excerpt? I have scoured all the settings. Featured images on posts are working in the header but not as thumbnails. There are no thumbnails at all. I assumed this would happen automatically? I have “regenerated” thumbnails already to debug.

Also…another issue I just ran into is I’ve created an “All Blog Entires” page, placed it in my primary menu, and in theme settings I have set “All Blog Entries” as my Posts Page (And made “Home Page” my static page on front page), yet only one of my posts (one of the two dummy posts I’ve created so far) WAS showing up. And NOW, in the last hour of playing around with stuff, NO posts show up on “All Blog Entries”. I get a 404 error. I have double checked that I have chosen “All blog posts” as my Posts page in settings. Any and all posts created should show up on the Posts page correct?

Thank you in advance for your help!

[Sakin]

@Julia: Did you add in Featured Image in your post? You need to add that. Check this screencast http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/

[Sakin]

@butters11: yes in pro version, you have option to select slider type as “Featured Image Slider” where you can upload image and link to anywhere you like. You can see theme instruction page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-responsive-pro/#featured-slider

Yes, same with featured content. You can choose “Featured Image Content” and do it as you like. You can see theme instruction page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-responsive-pro/#featured-content

[Sakin]

@leslie: I see that you are using qTranlsate X plugin and we haven’t made this theme compatible with that plugin. This theme is compatible with WPML and Polylang plugin. We are in the process of making it compatible with qTranlsate X plugin in next version update. For, now you need to build child theme. You can download sample child theme from http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/ and then add the following code in your child theme functions.php file.

/**
 * Template for Clearing qtranslatex Invalid Cache
 */
function catchkathmandu_qtranslatex_invalidcache() {
	delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_post_sliders' );
	delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_page_sliders' );
	delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_category_sliders' );
	delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_image_sliders' );
	delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_homepage_headline' );
	delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_featured_content' );
	delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_footer_content' );	
	delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_footercode' );
	delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_featured_image' );

}

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'catchkathmandu_qtranslatex_invalidcache' );

[Sakin]

@JacquiD: Ok I see that you are using Catch Responsive Free theme where you have option to add in Featured Page Slider. For that first you need to create page from “Pages => Add New” and then add featured image in those pages. For featured image check this https://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329948788/

Then go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options => Featured Slider Type” and select “Featured Page Slider” and then add in pages. See this screenshot https://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798335428534/

@Thomas: In this page http://wordpress.lounge-dj.dk/?page_id=165, I see that you have use the settings as “Full Image”. So, it will load your original image that you have added in. If you choose featured image, then it will load the cropped image in size of width 860px and height 484px. If you choose Slider image, then it will load the cropped image in size of width 1200px and height 514px.

Okay, I can see that the picture is encapsulated in the <figure> tag. When I select the “featured image”-option it uses the “featured-image from-metabox featured”-class and when I select the “Slider”-option is uses the “featured-image from-metabox slider”-class. However in both cases the picture is full sized and not cropped…

[Sakin]

@Thomas: In this page http://wordpress.lounge-dj.dk/?page_id=165, I see that you have use the settings as “Full Image”. So, it will load your original image that you have added in.

Fore read more. Please check your excerpt length at “Appearance => Customize => Theme Options => Excerpt Options => Excerpt Length (words)”. You can reduce the excerpt length there. As this excerpt length check the length before more tag in your page.

Hi again. One question. When I use the Featured Page Slider the image is always responsive. In the Featured Image Slider the image is responisve till their size and when die Browser Window is larger the image does not change the size.

[Thomas]

Hi Sakin

Thank you for replying.

I’m aware of the Theme Instructions and image sizes, but I can’t see any (or read in the instructions) what the difference is between the options ““Featured Image, Full Image and Slider Image”. Could you please elaborate?

The page in question is http://wordpress.lounge-dj.dk/?page_id=165

By the way, I also have the problem with the missing “Read more” in the featured content as explained in this thread http://catchthemes.com/support-forum/topic/want-to-curtail-featured-content/

[Sakin]

@Cyril: I see that in your demo page you are using Featured Post Slider but in Live site you are using Featured Image Slider where a this stage doesn’t have separator class to remove it. We will add this in new version update and it will work fine.

[Sakin]

@kazcchi: Sorry I don’t understand it properly what do you mean my Top Page. Can you explain in reference with your site URL.

About the slider, you can activate Featured Page Slider which is jquery cycle slider only. If you are trying to add in different slider then you need to build child theme and add in. For child theme, check out http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/

[Sakin]

@Thomas: For image sizes, please check in theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-responsive-pro/.

If you are checking in from Catch Responsive Pro theme, then in Single Page/Post Image Layout you will see option “Default, Featured Image, Full Image, Slider Image and Disable Image”

Yes, you can control it. Can you send me your site URL and then I will check in.
