@andrews: In Simple Catch Featured Image in used in Archive pages and in the slider. But it is not used in single post. As in Single post, you can just upload and add the image directly in your post editor without any issue.

If you are thinking about different then please explain.

[Sakin]

@mereed: These option are there in Pro version. You can choose Featured Page Slider or Post Slider or Category Slider. Or even you can add in your own custom image slider where you can add image, title, link, content all as per your need. For more details about pro version, check out theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-base-pro/

Hey i might be having a similar problem, where my image in the featured slider is too big, so the top half of my picture is getting cut off. How do i fix this?

[Sakin]

@Consciousness: Cropping is not custom css. But you can change the by building child theme. Read more detail about child theme from http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/ and you can also download sample child theme. Then you can add the following code in your child theme functions.php file and change the image size where 754 is the width and 400 is the height.

function catchevolution_child_theme_setup() {
    add_image_size( 'featured-slider', 754, 400, true );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'catchevolution_child_theme_setup', 11 );

after you add this code, for all older post, you need to regenerate thumbnail and for new post it will be automatic. To regenerate the thumbnail in older post you can install Regenerate Thumbnail plugin.

Hello Daniel,

You shouldn’t edit/add any file inside your theme folder ‘adventurous-pro’. As all these edits will be reverted back to original when you update the theme and you will loose your customization. So, if you want to edits just css then you can use “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” and if you want to edit large level of CSS and/or functions then you need to build child theme and edit it. For child theme, you can check out http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/

You don’t need to any file to upload your image and link in the slider. The slider images that you are viewing by default in the demo slider images. You can replace those image by selecting your own slider type from “Image Slider, Post Slider, Page Slider and Category Slider”. You can choose that from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options => Select Slider Type“. After that you can check our theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/adventurous-pro/ where you can ready detail instruction on how to add those slider image.

We also have screencast for Image Slider http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/ and Post Slider http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/

@Wade: Just add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box:

#featured-post img,
#main-slider img {
    box-shadow: none;
}

[Sakin]

@amandamarie0808: I see that you are using Catch Kathmandu Free theme. Which only have option to use “Post Slider or Category Slider”, these two slider are created to highlight your post in the slider. It takes your post title, excerpt and featured image and will link to post.

To change that to page, you need to Page Slider and to link to any pages/custom URL then you need to use Featured Image Slider. But the option to use Page or Image slider is only there in Catch Kathmandu Pro version. So, your solution will be to upgrade to pro version.

[Sakin]

@Mogens: Yes, I check in your site and see that you have customize the core css file style.css. You shouldn’t edit/add any files inside core theme directory ‘catch-evolution-pro’. If you need to edit or add any extra css then you can either add it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box or build child theme and add it in your child theme style.css. For child theme read http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/

So, please restore the original theme and then add customization as per the instruction. What is see in your cutomized style.css. There is missing closing bracket in

#slider-wrap .featured-text .featured-text-wrap .slider-title {
    font-weight: bold;

It should be as

#slider-wrap .featured-text .featured-text-wrap .slider-title {
    font-weight: bold;
}

[adamsh]

thankes man your the best!
sorry for beeing so nagging, but there is a way that when the site is watched in hebrew the “Homepage Headline Button” will move to the left and the post title on the Featured Slider will be on the right?

[Sakin]

@Kim:
1. If you don’t like the slider, then you can disable slider from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options” and then check the option “Disable” in Enable Sidebar.

2. Removing widget from the Header Right Sidebar will show the default widgets “Search and Social”. So, if you just want Search and remove social then you can go to “Appearance => Widgets” and then just add Search Widgets in Header Right Sidebar. But if you want to completely disable Header Right Sidebar then you can go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Header Right Options” and then check option “Disable Header Right Sidebar” and save changes.

Note: I don’t get it why are you adding you logo in “Header Featured Image”. Then best place to add logo is from “Appearance => Theme Options => Header Options”. There you need to add in your logo URL in and uncheck disable Disable Header Logo. Header Featured Image should be used only if you want Logo and additional header banner.

[Sakin]

@adamsh: Yes, it works with WPML and has wpml-config.xml file. We have compatibility certify from WMPL http://wpml.org/theme/catch-kathmandu-pro/

But we haven’t added support for this plugin. So, I don’t think it will work properly. You might need to build child theme. You can ready about child theme and 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 polylang Invalid Cache
 *
 * @since Catch Kathmandu Pro
 */
function catchkathmandu_polylang_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_homepage_featured_content' );
	delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_footer_content' );	
	delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_footercode' );
	delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_featured_image' );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'catchkathmandu_polylang_invalidcache' );

Hello Sakin,

I have reported this problem to WMPL, but because every string is translated they can not help me.
The problem is that every string that uses the first item does not appear translated.
The strings are:
[catchkathmandu_options][featured_image_slider_title]1
[catchkathmandu_options][featured_image_slider_link]1
[catchkathmandu_options][homepage_featured_content]1
[catchkathmandu_options][homepage_featured_title]1
[catchkathmandu_options][homepage_featured_url]1

Please can you tell me if this is my problem?
Thank you
Kind regards
Delfim

@harish: In Adventurous theme, There is Featured Post slider which takes your post featured image size of Width: 1600px and Height: 600px, which is mentioned in http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/adventurous/

But if you want to decrease the height then you need to upload the image with width 1600px and height smaller then 600px as per your need in the featured image and then slider take that height.

[Sakin]

@alemoy: Yes, you can use the css to make it smaller. For example, you can add the following css in your “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box, if you want to make your width to 980px.

@media screen and (min-width: 1152px) {
	.site {
		margin: 30px auto;

4. Click on Save button

Hi Sakin

I’m using your catch theme pro and I have a white line under the feature image.

I tried all the css code you provided to others with the same issue, however they didn’t work for me.

my website is ; beta.shenneljordan.com

thanks an advance for your help

I used the following css codes ;

#homepage-message { background-color: #423031; color: #DF7401; }

    padding: 0;
    position: absolute;
    top: 35%;

@Mike: Yes, you change it. Catch Flames free theme has option to use Featured Page Slider to highlight you page.
1. First you need to create a Page and then add Featured Image (http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-wordpress-postpage/) to the Page.
2. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider” from your WordPress Dashboard
3. Under Slider Options Select Slider Type as “Featured Page Slider”. Here you can also change the number of slides, slider effects and timing
4. Then under Featured Page Slider Options, select the pages and save changes.

[Sakin]

@Tim: The slide in Catch Kathmandu Pro and Adventurous Pro uses same script. The design changes as per the theme. So, this is unique. I don’t understand why you can to swap. There is no easy way to do that.

I hope you check in Featured Image Slider http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/ , Featured Post Slider http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/ and theme instructions http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/adventurous-pro/

Can you explain in detail please.

[adamsh]

polylang gives you the option to make a copy of each page, the new copy is in the language you chose. the plug in knows which page in English is linked to which page in Hebrew (for example). so far it works great, the prablem starts when i tried to translate the homepage were i got my featured slider and featured content. because the theme build in a way that we change the homepage in theme option the plug-in dosen’t recotnize it and i can’t make a copy of the homepage in Hebrew.

in case what i wrote up dosen’t make sense and my English so bad that you cant understend nothing i put a link that you see the problem right away.

@toruah: I check in your site and you are using Catch Kathmandu Free version. If you want to disable the slider then you can disable it from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options” and then check “Disable” and save changes. But if you want to add in your own post in your slider then see this http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/
