Hello

Is there a way to move the featured slider to the bottom of the page?

Under my existing posts, i’d like an advert and then the featured slider before the footer.

My site is http://www.musicfootballfatherhood.com

@whiteavenger80: In Featured Post # 1, # 2, #3, you need to add in Post ID. For Post ID, you can refer to plugin Catch IDs https://wordpress.org/plugins/catch-ids/

If you don’t want to add manually IDs, then you can just create category and add in posts in those category and in Slider Type you can select “Featured Category Slider”.

Hi everyone, new Catch Themes user here and I’ve just bought Catch Base Pro after evaluating the free version for a week. Very pleased with the overall simplicity and customisability.

I would love to be able to change theme settings in a child theme’s functions.php file instead of doing it in the theme customizer. I have done this with another theme (Hueman) but I can’t work out how to do it in Catch Base.

Why would I want to do this anyway? I like to create a child theme on my testing server, get everything set up with the right theme options defined in functions.php and then deploy the theme instantly on the live website without needing to set all the options in the WordPress dashboard/customiser.

For example, I would like to set the featured content and slider to ‘disabled’ be default (but that’s only one of many settings I would like to set the default for).

I found the function catchbase_get_theme_options() which returns an array of all the theme option settings but couldn’t work out a way of setting them.

I also found the file inc/catchbase_default_options.php which I could use to set the theme defaults (but would not overide any changes actually made in the customiser) but modified versions of files in the child theme’s inc/ folder don’t seem to get applied – a general problem possibly?

I will continue to experiment with my knowledge of PHP but lesser knowledge of WordPress and child theme functions but any help would be appreciated.

This isn’t a show stopper right now but it would be great if I could create a function or something to change any setting in the child theme’s functions.php.

Mark.

Apparently the dots on the featured slider are transparant and blue.
How can I edit these colors?

(I use Catch Responsive, but somehow that was not listed, so I chose Catch Adaptive Pro as Forum).

@grahama: Please add in your site URL and explain that are you trying to do. When I check in your site http://proencltd.com/, you haven’t added image. For more, check out theme instructions at https://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-base/#featured-slider

Sakin, I have uploaded the featured images and when I select the page in slider settings to the featured images on page, > Save > refresh – no images just text over -writing image – no featured image!

Changed back to default – an other option is how can i remove the grey text slider 1 from default slider??

Hi.

It is a new problem in last versión of Rock Star Theme 1.0.

Home page is different in Chrome, Opera and Edge. It is good in Firefox in frontend but it is not good in backend too.

Design has moved a few down and no appears titles in featured content and post in home page. Slider has moved down too. There is a black line up in the screen.

How we can fix it?

thanks in advance

@dercncplaner: On the slider, custom truncate is being used (substr) which I’m afraid actually doesn’t work with arabic language. But on the other such as blogs list, featured grid etc. the excerpt works. Hope you understand.

Hi my website is theatrendg.com

I was wondering how I can remove the page title out of my featured image that goes onto the slider?? Right now it is in the middle of the image and I would like to not have it at all on this page – any way to make that happen? Thanks for your help!

[Mahesh]

@marco-cherin: I checked the same on our server and it is working fine. Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Post Slider=> Slider Options and make sure you’ve put correct Post ID in Featured Post Slider #.
Let me know further.

Mahesh

@mjadkowskigmail-com: We are responding to all the tickets sent to us. We’ve inform the Premium Support team and they have responded you with an email please check. Did you receive the email?

Sidebar menu issue: Yes, this can be done. As you’ve mentioned you already have a sidebar set up on one page. I assume you’ve put it in the Sidebar Widget Area. Please set up new on on Optional Sidebar # Widget areas too then. When adding a new page, scroll down to be bottom, you’ll find Chicago Options. Click on Select Sidebar tab. And choose one of the option. On choosing, the sidebar menu of selected sidebar will be displayed. Hope this helps.

Sorry, we don’t have that but what you can do is, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Slider=> Featured Slider Options and select Homepage/Frontpage on Enable Slider on option to check the demo. Let me know further if you need any help.

Mahesh

I am re-styling my sons website at http://www.mattfurness.co.uk.

Three queries please;
1) I have used images sizes 1920 x 1080 as featured images on pages, to be used on the home page slider. However the images appear to be too big as they do not automatically include the social media icns at the bottom. Am I better using a different size? If so please advise the best size.
2) As you can see the white font on the home page does not work with all the images. Can you advise CSS coding to change the colour of site title and description, and also title and wording in the slider please? I can then play around to find the most suitable hex code to use.
3) Also CSS code please to change links from an underline to a diffrent colour for the text.

Many thanks. I appreciate the work gone into this theme.

Hey! Hope anyone can help me out.

I’m using Rockstar theme on my website: http://www.raphaeldelarie.com

I have the featured slider installed with the contact page featured on the homepage. On my laptop web browser it works totally fine but somehow when I go to my website on my mobile device it says Page Not Found. What’s going on? 🙂

Thanks in advance!

Where do you find the slider to create a new one for the home page?

I’ve looked on the dashboard and can’t find a slider tab.

Many thanks

Take a look at http://www.rainierchorale.org/. For the post sliders there is text over the images. For example the Windows Holiday post has text and a button on top of the image. How do I get rid of that text and the button?

Please assume that I know very little on working with WordPress and the theme. I have just taken on the task of maintaining the site.

I don’t know if I’ve found the answer. Right now I have the Select Slider Type set to Featured Page Slider. If I change it to Featured Image Slider, and set the image to the current pages image and the link to the current page image and the title blank, would that get rid of the annoying text? As I don’t have a test site, I don’t want to mess things up by making guess changes.

[Mahesh]

@tingstedkirke: Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following CSS:

.featured-slider .slides {
    background-color: #000fff;
}

.featured-slider .slides img {
    height: 350px;
}

Note: Change the color and height as desired.

Can I change the colour background for the slider (if the image does not cover all the slider).

Can I change the size of the slider? (i.e. height)

Thanks!

Hi,

The header highlight content section displays the name of the post next to its featured image. The first photo & name displayed in the grid is double-sized. Its image should have the same aspect ratio as for all the other posts, however in reality the image does not fill the available space. I think it is displaying the helena-slider image instead.

How do I make it so that the largest image is displayed with the same aspect ratio as the other images in this section? If you need an example, see http://www.banno.me.

Thanks.

Hello everyone

just another question I could not solve. I am using the featured content slider. Using a normal browser all is working well. But using the iPhone browser the image of the post with the excerpt is displayed but the button is missing. That wouldn’t be serious if the whole image would be a link to the post. But as the button is the link to the post its a bad user experience. If you like have a look at https://lisseck.com
