@spegrum: Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Featured Slider then choose Homepage/Front Page or Entire Site in Enable slider on option, then further options will slide down. Then choose demo or Featured Page Slider. Using Featured Page slider, you can make selected pages as slider and Featured image will be displayed as slides. Please make sure you have featured image set in the pages selected. If the slider still doesn’t appear, set Image Loader to false.
Let me know further.

Mahesh
Because I am using a separate slider plugin without physical text input, my featured content slider will show the plugin code.
I would like to completely remove the excerpt, when excerpt character amount is set to 0, I still see a . or decimal, if anyone can help COMPLETELY removing excerpt so all I see is the page title, and the default link text.
Thanks so much

I am loving this theme but I can not for the life of me work out how to customise the images on the featured slider. The options the instructions say should be under customise > featured slider are not there. I only have “enable slider on” dropdown. I have set a featured image on one of my pages to see if that helps but still I just have the sample images and text?
@misstraveling: Thank you for using Simple Catch Pro theme. The recommended size for slider is 976 x 313, however you may have image with diferent size too.
To remove grey borders, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following CSS:
.featured-img {
border-left: none;
border-right: none;
border-bottom: none;
}
If you want to keep the border at the bottom, remove border-bottom: none; from the above CSS.
Regards,
Mahesh
I tried to adjust the image size as 976×450 like in the demo but the height reminds very narrow like it’s shown on my site now. I’m now using featured images sized 700×420 is there anyway to remove the grey borders on both sides that frame the slider?

Thanks!
@android: I did check your site and the customize setting are working just fine. But when selecting Pages in slider, please make sure that the page have featured image set. Or the slider will not load. By default, Image Loader option is set to true, which loads all the image first before displaying the sldier. And if one image is not found, the slider will not be displayed. So try setting it to false and let me know.

Mahesh
Mahesh,
You asked me for my login info and I thought you were going to help me by getting rig of anything related to Advance Custom Fields, but sadly you did not. Since I am not qualified to pinpoint the problem by myself, my only choice is to erase the current child theme and create a new one, but Catch Themes MUST put back the code that Sangeeta inserted so that my Featured Image Sliders have a working Read More link on them and not the falsely advertised “Check to disable Read More text”. I would need this done ASAP. Please advice. This recommened by Catch Theme Theme, is causing me a lot of grieve already, VERY DISAPPOINTED.
@android: Its means that you haven’t selected the page to display as Featured Slider. Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Featured Slider=> Slider Options then scroll down, you’ll see Featured Page Slider #, select the desired pages in the drop-down. The featured images set in the pages will be displayed as slides.
Hope this helps. Let me know if any Problem.

Mahesh
Hi Mahesh, thank you for getting back to me so promptly, the only message I get is the following when I try to use the featured page slider and make the required settings ( which don’t appear to save)
“You have selected Page Slider but you haven’t added the Page ID in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Page Slider Options””
However I have tried this several times, maybe I’m missing something? I’m pretty sure I’m not, I’ve been using WordPress and plugins to build 15 or so sites and so well past the novice stage. Having said that I could be doing something wrong? Do you want to have a look in the back end/ as its all very mysterious and the issue is very random.
One question I have is there are two places to access the settings Customizer and the Theme options, could this be causing a problem, setting them in two places? although this would not account for the “not saving” thing which is happening in general? Anything I can do to help just let me know.
Much appreciated, Andy
Hi, hoping you can help. Any settings I make in the theme options/customizer won’t save and just keep reverting back to there default settings? This is for all settings. I am especially struggling to get the featured page slider to display the featured images I have set (on each page) these keep re-setting to the default slider demo images? I have been through all the forum answers previously posted but this hasn’t helped I’m afraid. I have disabled “ALL” the plugins but the problem still exists. I have spent hours going through all the settings etc, I even uninstalled and then reinstalled the theme but this still did not fix it. I am happy to grant you access to the back end of the site if this would make investigating the issue easier.
Have you come across this before what do you suggest I can do, it’s a clients website and so I need to sort it out as quickly as possible. I think it happened after a recent possibly update to the theme.
Your help with this issue would be most appreciated. We really love the theme and look forward to using its features.

@kterra: Thank you for using Catch Everest Pro theme. If you want to have individual header image for your different pages and posts, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Header Image and select Entire Site, Page/Post Featured Image in
Enable Featured Header Image option. Choosing this option will set featured image as the page’s header image if exists if not, it uses default header image.
To Enable Slider on Home page only, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Featured Slider=> Slider Options and select Homepage/Frontpage in Enable Slider option.
For hiding header image in homepage, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following CSS:
/* Hides header image from homepage */
.home #header-image {
display: none;
}
Let me know if any problem.
Note: For Header Image, you can use image of your desired size.

Mahesh
Hi, I’m creating my webpage using Catch Everest Pro. I would like to use individual header images (slider size, I’m currently sizing them at 1140 x 450) and tying them to specific pages. So, each page would have its own header, which will also be its “featured image” My problem is as follows: When I select Customize/Header Image/Enable Featured Header Image (Entire Site, Page/Post Featured Image), Page/Post Featured Image Size (Slider Image), Featured Header Image Position (After Menu) – I am getting the nice wide slider-sized image across the top of each page as I want BUT it repeats in a rectangular cropped version (NOT created by me) right under the header image. How do I make sure the image is not duplicated on each page like that? Also, on the homepage I only want the slider, no header image above it. My slider will have several images, some with feature content on them. Any suggestions on how to tackle these problems? I am not a pro.
Mahesh, I don’t even know how to get there. Sangeeta should have our WP site login. When you are there, maybe you can erase that file for good or anything that has to do with Advanced Custom Fields, because we are not using anything like that anymore and we disabled Advanced Custom Fields, the only reason we have not erased the plugin is because we had to pay for it, but we don’t need it. Those who created the previous website, installed who knows what in Full Frame Child but we are not longer using their services, they had hidden the Blog Page, because obviously it was a mess, but we need back so we enabled, ACF is probably what is affecting many things we notice in the Blog and other pages that used the complicated plugin. Ideally we would love to use the Parent Theme, but you guys have to correct the issue with the Featured Image Slider that is the only one that has no Read More Text even thought it shows that it can be enabled or disabled. That’s a major issue that I was promised it would be corrected in a next update but two updates have come and nothing, it is very frustrating. Please help.
Mahesh,
I am not longer using Advance Custom Fields, I don’t need it, so that plugin has been disabled.
The MAIN REASON why I purchased this theme, was because I needed a Full Frame Slider with a Read More button on it. I contacted Catch Themes and Sangeeta recommended this particular theme that disappointingly has not to worked as promised. I have the email exchanges with Sangeeta from April 27 at 12:32AM and this was what he replied:
“Hello Luis, Thanks for your feedback to Full Frame Pro Theme. We will check that on how we can implement that. Looks like there is no Read More only in Featured Image Slider. In Full Frame Pro, if you choose Featured Post Slider or Featured Category Slider or Featured Page Slider. Then it shows Read More”
Then on June 25 at 1:01 AM, Sangeeta wrote:
“Hello Luis,
Sorry that you are not satisfied with and we will add that Read More link in new version update…so you need to create child theme and edit the function fullframe_page_slider(). I have attached the child theme, you can upload it just like installing new theme, or you can just send me your URL and temporary admin access and then I can install that for you” I sent Sangeeta my login and he uploaded the ChildTheme with the code so that the Featured Image Slider would have a Read More Link. I was happy until the Blog starting to show Fatal Errors.
There has been a new update since then and what Sangeeta said it was going to be corrected.
Now the Child Theme has Blog display Fatal Errors that I don’t know how to resolve and I cannot use the Parent Theme because there is no Read More button or link ONLY on Featured Image Slider even though it can be checked to “disable the Read More Text” which it is a bad joke because it does not work either way!
I am very frustrated and disappointed at Catch Theme. Please resolve this issue ASAP, it is a Catch Theme problem affecting a client that has purchased four themes from you, so please do something about it.
I look forward to hearing from you with a solution ASAP.
Thanks.
Luis
Mahesh,
It does not happen in the Parent Theme and I am not happy because I am back at square one.
Feature Slider==>Select Slider Type==>Featured Image Slider, says “Check To Disable Read More Text”, but even though this shows up in the Feature Image Slider Customization section , IT DOES NOT WORK and I NEED IT TO WORK. I need a READ MORE link as per in the ChildTheme or better yet, a Read More button.
Sangeeta @CatchThemes, kindly did a temporary fix by adding some code in the ChildTheme, so that the Feature Image would have a Read More Link.
Now things are not working in the ChildTheme Blog the way they should, you rightly tell me that it is because I am using the Child Theme, I switch, posts display correctly in parent theme, but I cannot use the parent theme (as I would love to), because the Feature Image Slider does not do what the theme says it does which was the main reason why I purchased this theme: Feature Slider With a Read More Link), it simply does not work, worse even, the Content Box is not even clickable!
I was told by Sangeeta that this issue was going to be resolved in a next update, I updated but nothing was done to it. That was months ago. I need a solution ASAP. I am not happy.
Luis
Hello, Ho I can remove the featured slider in mobile version. I had been searching throught this forum and found a few members that have similar problem like me. But no one works.
The css code that i trying so far:
/* Smartphones (portrait and landscape) ———– */
@media only screen and (min-device-width : 320px) and (max-device-width : 640px) {
#feature-slider {
display: none;
}
}
@media screen and (max-width: 480px) {
#feature-slider {
display: none;
}
}
My site: http://www.judibolaterbaik.com
Actually, erase that. I do have breadcrumbs but they are still above the Featured Slider
Hello Mahesh
Thank you, It does display in the parent theme.
Header Featured Image Options enabled and refreshed but made no difference in the Child theme.
I’d switch to the Parent Theme, but Sangeeta (at CatchThemes.com) added a slider code in my child theme functions.php so a Read More red link would show on the image slider, since there is no Read More button available in the slider of the parent theme, so I am stuck with the Child Theme until this capability is added to the Parent Theme.
Please advice
Thank you
Luis
Greetings,
I have set up four pages which are being used for the opening “Featured Slider” images–these are the general categories of services we offer. Then, I will be populating a series of specific examples of jobs we’ve completed which we’ll display in the “Featured Content.”
The design problem I’m having is that as I add pages they appear above the featured slider images. Currently on our site, http://www.gardenspacedesigns.com this can be seen with “Ludwig Residence.” I only wish to have the Ludwig page show on the Featured Content and not above.
Is there a way to accommodate this?
Many thanks
Hi:
If I activate Breadcrumbs on my business site (http://www.accuratecommunications.com) they appear between my top menu and my Featured Slider. That looks awful.
Is there a way to have them appear directly below my Featured Slider?
