I have fallowed all of the instructions you have listed and still when I switch from “Demo Featured Slider” to “Feature Page Slider” the slider just disappears. There isn’t a page on my site that doesn’t have a featured image assigned. I would like to eventually upgrade to the pro version so I can use posts & images in the slider as well, but I have had so many bad experiences with templates that until I know it works I am not going to upgrade to anything. Could there be a file missing?

@eb713: Thanks a lot for explanation.

@smeade1492: I hope you got it. If not then I am again writing to explain it. I hope you will get it.

Yes, you can add slider in Free version. You can just add Featured Page Slider.
1. First you need to create page and add in Featured image in your page. Fore more about Featured image, check out http://devotepress.com/wordpress-writing-editing/how-to-assign-a-featured-image/
2. Go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options => Featured Slider Type” and then select “Featured Page Slider”
3. Then you can select the page which you have create and then it will take that page title, featured image and excerpt content.
4. If you want to adjust the content, then you can split content of your page using more tag <!--more--> . So, all the text before more tag in your page will be display in your page slider. For more about more tag, check out http://devotepress.com/wordpress-writing-editing/how-to-split-content-using-the-more-tag-option/

Note: Please check in theme instructions page for more details at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-responsive/

I have it working in my free version but I have an issue as well.
First go to appearance / Customize / Featured Slider Options / Feature slider type
In the “Select Slider Type” pulldown menu switch from “Demo Featured Slider” to “Feature Page Slider”. Then select the page/post you want to feature.

Then go to the page/post you selected and set the “featured image” to the image you want to use for that slider.

The issue I am having is that it uses the first few lines of text from that page and I am trying to figure out how to customize the text on the slider so it does not use the text from the page as the description on the slider or if it can use a shorter piece of it. It is using about 5 lines of text which is much longer than what the demo shows.

@michaelaterndrup: Yes, you can. Check out theme instructions for Catch Flames free theme at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-flames/

You can get Featured Page Slider in Free version. So, first you need to create page and add in Featured Image in your page. Then go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options”, in Select Slider Type check “Featured Page Slider”. Then you can select your pages in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Page Slider Options”.

@tscpgraphics:
Header Featured Image and Featured Page Slider is two different things.

1. Header Featured Image:
— It is controlled from “Appearance => Header”. There you can upload image for Header Image. You can disable it or enable in various section by selecting option in “Enable Featured Header Image on”. Further, you can disable it in any particular page/post from “Catchresposnive Options” in your page/post editor.

2. Featured Page Slider:
— This is the sliding image that you see in our demo site http://catchthemes.com/demo/catch-responsive/. This is controlled through “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Option => Featured Slider Type”, where you can select “Featured Page Slider” and select the pages which you want to show as sliding image.

@tscpgraphics: I don’t see slider in your site. I see that you have added in Header Featured Image from “Appearance => Header”.

But for the slider in Catch Responsive Free theme, first you need to create page and add featured image in that page. Check this http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-wordpress-postpage/ for adding featured image in your page.

Then you need to go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options => Featured Slider Type”, then select “Featured Page Slider” and Select the pages which you want to show in slider.

[Sakin]

@PeripheralVision: You can just go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options => Featured Slider Type”, and select “Featured Page Slider”, then select the page in Featured Page # 1, #2, #3 and so on which you want to show as slider. This will replace the demo slider.

For more information, check out Full Frame Theme instructions at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/full-frame/

@sweetacres: You can see in our demo the Slider at http://catchthemes.com/demo/catchbox/. It’s same, the only difference is that your featured image in the slider post is small. It should be at 644px width and 320px height. So, please upload the bigger image.

But if you don’t want slider text at all then you can add in the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box:
#slider-wrap .featured-text { display: none; }

[Sakin]

@allene1218: That is called “Featured Page Slider” and you can add your own slider image, text and content. For that first you need to create page and add in Featured image in your page. Then go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options => Featured Slider Type” and select “Featured Page Slider” and then you can just select the pages where you have added in featured image. Now, it will display you page title, content and featured image.

If you want to disable the slider completely then go to “”Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options => Featured Slider Settings” and in Enable Slider on, you need to choose “Disabled” and save change.

But if you just want to hide the text in the slider, then you can add the following css in “Appearance => Customize => Theme Options => Custom CSS Options” box:
#feature-slider .entry-container { display: none; }

@nakulsachdeva: I was confused as you used Catch Everest Pro support forum for Full Frame Free theme. Full Frame Free theme support forum is that http://catchthemes.com/support-forum/forum/full-frame-free/

That disable Toggle option is there in Pro version, you can see the list of additional features at theme instructions for pro version at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/full-frame-pro/

But in free version, you can disable that toggle button and show header fixed only for big screens with resolution above 1100px. For that you can add the following css in “Appearance => Customize => Theme Options => Custom CSS Options” box:

@media screen and (min-width: 1101px) {
    .site { padding-top: 178px; }
    #feature-slider, #header-featured-image { margin-top: 0; }
    .site #masthead { display: block; opacity: 1 !important; }
    #header-toggle { display: none; }
}

@webtussi: Yes, you can enable slider in all pages. For that, just go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options => Featured Slider Settings”, Select “Entire Site” in “Enable Slider on” option and click on “Save & Publish”,

For Header image, you can control all the settings from “Appearance => Customize => Header Image”. Don’t forgot to check in “Enable Featured Header Image on” option. Sorry there is no option to add text in the header image. You can upload image with the text on it.

@franktan: I see that you are using Catch Box Free theme, where the recommended featured image size in Width: 644px and Height: 320px. See the theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-box/. This slider in Feature Post Slider with Content width.

But if you upgrade to Pro version, you will get option to make the slider full width of your site and also get option to choose from “Featured Image slider, Featured Page slider, Featured Post slider, Featured Category slider. In Full Width slider, the recommended size is Width: 980px and Height: 400px. But if you use Featured Image Slider, height can be any you like. For more see the theme instructions of Catch Box Pro theme at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-box-pro/

@michellebergmann: To make the slider image 100% with, you can make it stretch by adding in the following css:

.featured-slider .slides img {
    height: auto;
    width: 100%;
}

@Claudio: I am telling you is that All Private pages will be visible only to you when you are log in. We will not see it. this is how WordPress Private page/post works. So, we see empty Slider and Featured Content.

About menu, you can create custom menu from “Appearance => Menus” and then add page, post, category, links as per your need to your custom menu. Then assign your menu to Primary menu location from “Appearance => Menus => Manage Location”. Check this out for custom menus http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-creating-wordpress-custom-menus/

@Edward: For slider there is not option like specific pages. The options are to Enable Slider either only on Homepage or on Entire site.

But yes, you can disable Header Image in particular page/posts. For that you can edit those page/post and below you page/post editor you will see “Full Frame Options” metabox, where you can click on “Header Featured Image Options”, check “Disable” and then update your page/post.

[Sakin]

@Stephanie: You can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box to hide the Featured Post Slider title and excerpt text.
#main-slider .entry-container { display: none; }

But if you choose Featured Image Slider from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options => Select Slider Type” then you can use upload image and link as per your need. If you don’t want title and content then you lave that empty.

[Sakin]

@bigoslesli: Actually if you just want static image then you don’t need to use Featured Slider. You can just disable slider from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options => Enable Slider”.

Then for static header image, you can just add that image from “Appearance => Theme Options => Header Featured Image Options”.

But if you don’t want to use header image and still want to use featured slider image without the arrow, then you can add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box to hide it.
#slider-nav { display: none; }

[Francis]

That link seems to be to download an application. The featured slider should be saved to the site now.

[Sakin]

@Francis: I check in your site http://www.fincasabina.com/Wordpress/ but I don’t see you have change to Featured Image Slider. I can still see demo images.

You don’t need to send me screenshot in email. You can just upload screenshot in your site or any photo-sharing site. For example screenshot like this link http://awesomescreenshot.com/09f4mea713

[Francis]

No. I have uploaded images to the website. You asked me to send you screen shots to show you what was going wrong. Can I email them to you?

Let me repeat what the problem is: I have purchased Full Frame Pro.
If I swap from ‘demo’ to ‘Featured Image Slider’ and I have uploaded four images that are of the correct size (1680X720) yet they appears too small and aligned to the left.
