and also if there is a way to make the featured slider smaller.

[phillycontemporary]

Hi!

I am using the free version of Fabulous Fluid and I have a featured slider on my homepage. I was wondering if there is CSS I can put into my child theme to make the following changes:

– Ability to change the slider entry title to not be in all-caps, and to have more flexibility with the font-weight, etc.

– I would also like to hide (display:none) the entry titles in the image thumbnails at the bottom of the slider, but not in the larger main image.

– I’m also wondering if I can position the entry title and entry content farther to the left–I’ve used a custom CSS to align both to the left, however I’d like them to be moved even further to the side..

Thank you for any and all help you can offer! Sorry for so many questions….

Hi Mahesh,

I put in the CSS for the individual page and nothing changed..

Is it possible to have two different sliders– One on the homepage, and one on a separate page–Both with different featured pages?

Thank you for all your help! I know I have a lot of questions…

I had downloaded, installed and configured the Pro version in a ‘sandbox’ subdirectory on another domain and got it to work perfectly. I did not backup and move it. I installed a clean download on WP 4.6 yesterday and can’t get the static front page to come up. I have gone over the settings for hours and don’t know what I have done wrong. I did notice there are two “HOME” pages in the Menu list of pages under View All, although there is only one Home-Frontpage under All Pages. I have the front page configured for full width, static front page, image slider for front page only, featured content for front page only, and promotion button. But an OOPS…page not found is coming up. I have set the ‘main menu’ as the Secondary menu, and another “Member” menu for the Primary menu. I suspect the problem is either with the two HOME pages or with choosing a wrong Home page in Menu, but can’t seem to fix it.

Hi Mahesh,
I have an issue, I don´t want to show this text: <span class=¨readmore¨><ahref=¨http://revelacionesequinas.org/talleres/¨Leer Más…</span> on the featured slider, if you can help me remove it I’ll be more than happy. I would like just to show the image and just the box that say´s read more, in my case it’s says ¨leer más¨ because my site is in spanish.
Thank you very much for your time

@ddk: Sorry for the confusion but we recommend you to use the customizer instead of theme options as it is easy to use and you can also see the live preview. So for adding Slider, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Slider=> Slider Option and choose which ever slider type you were using before and follow along. (make sure it is enabled)
Please do the same for Featured Content, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Homepage Featured Content and select Homepage/Front page or Entire site as per you desire in Enable Content drop-down option. Then select you desired Featured Content Type and add up the images.
I would like to help you further if you need any. Let me know if any problem. Sorry for the trouble.

Regards,
Mahesh

Thanks…Ads are gone now…what do I use to add back my original Slider images and activate them and the Featured content boxes. Is this the Theme Options part of the Appearance=>Theme Options area…this seems to override the Customize options when used…there appears to be two areas to set up the features. The latter is more familiar to me…but it changes back to the defaults when I try to use it. The upgrade wiped away my choices for the slider. I remember it was easier to use before…but that was two years ago when I set up this original site and I have used several other vendor template options since, including the non-pro version for other sites I have designed…why does this seem so confusing? …Dr Dan CampTimlo.org

@ddk: Thank you for upgrading to Pro version. The upgrade should have automatically migrated all the settings from Free to Pro unless you are using child theme. So, it seems most of the setting are changed to defaults (Slider, Promotion Headline, Featured Content).
For these options, please use Customizer (Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize) instead Theme Options. For slider, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Slider=> Slider Options.
For disabling Promotion headline (Ads), go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Promotion Headline and select Disable in
Enable Promotion Headline on drop-down option.
And removing/modifying Featured Content (mountain image), go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Homepage Featured Content and select Disable in Enable Content drop-down option.
Hope this helps. Please follow along the theme instruction : https://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/
Let me know if any problem.

I upgraded (finally) to the pro version of Catch Kathmandu and all of my front images are not working. I had a featured slider for the home page…gone. It seems the dashboard theme options have changed. I no longer have the separate area for managing the services. I cannot get the ad for the product to go away. When I set the delete ad banners and button, they come back to the original ads, even after I save the changes. When I try to add some images for the scrolling banner, it will not save. I have read the instructions but the don’t help with this issue. The “Always Set the Featured Images” the image sizes are the same but the location of the controls are different. I need a tip to remove the “Mountains” from the home page. Also the Featured widgets (4) will not let me reset to my prior options. This is a history site, so no urgent needs. Fans can read around the Catch ads and see the content…menus work and slides work. What am I missing? site is Camptimlo.org…Dr Dan

Hi!

Wondering if it’s possible in anyway to have the featured image slider on a single page that isn’t the homepage–without activating it for the whole site.

Let me know!

@latinoliteratures:
Hi Fabio:

Sorry for the late reply. Working with child theme or working with code is kinda tricky. A small character can break the whole site and make it inaccessible. I highly recommend you to do the modifications only if you are familiar with programming or else hire a customizer.
Is the theme working now? You do have option to show content in Featured Content but not in the Featured Slider. You can use Custom CSS for hiding the excerpt in the Featured Slider.

Let me know further.

@kawr:
If you try it from Appearance=> Theme Options=> FEATURED POST SLIDER=> Slider Options, you should be able to add as many as you like. Let me know how it goes.

I’m trying to set up Catch Evolution theme on my new website and noticed a limitation on the quantity of the featured posts in the slider. It appears there is a limit of 20. I need about 50 of them. Can that number be increased? If so how? http://www.bestnetworking.us
Thanks!

I WENT AHEAD AND USED THE PLUGIN YOU RECOMMENDED FOR BUILDING CHILD THEMES. I MADE ONE FOR FABULOUS FLUID PRO.

//THE FOLLOWING IS MY STYLE.CSS FILE//

// I ALSO ADDED THE EXTRA CSS TO THE CUSTOM CSS BOX UNDER THEME OPTIONS //

#feature-slider .entry-content span.readmore {
display: none;
}

//AND THE HTML KEEPS APPEARING IN THE FEATURE POST SLIDER.//

@voila2014: Thank you for using our theme, we really appreciate it. For exact same layout, Catch Everest Pro is the best option I guess. It does have more functionalities that the free version like: More Options in Slider, Featured Content, Layouts, Colors, Fonts etc. However, the theme doesn’t have the Pricing table. May be you can use an appropriate plugin from WordPress repo for that one.

Mahesh

Hi there
I am using the free version of Fabulous Fluid. When the featured images are displaying in the slider, the excerpt text is followed by this code, which displays in the image:

<span class=”readmore”>Read more…</span>

How can I get that code out of the image?
Thanks

[Mahesh]

@paul-mac:
Hi Paul,

For this, you’ll need to create a child theme. You can find more details on creating child theme HERE. Then in your child theme’s functions.php add the following codes:

function catchkathmandu_child_move_title_below_slider_header_image() {
	remove_action( 'catchkathmandu_before_main', 'catchkathmandu_slider_display', 10 );
	add_action( 'catchkathmandu_before_hgroup_wrap', 'catchkathmandu_slider_display', 15 );

	remove_action( 'catchkathmandu_before', 'catchkathmandu_featured_image_display', 10 );
	add_action( 'catchkathmandu_before_hgroup_wrap', 'catchkathmandu_featured_overall_image', 20 );
}
add_action( 'init', 'catchkathmandu_child_move_title_below_slider_header_image' );

Mahesh

@Len,
For refund related matter please contact our sales team directly. However, Pro version does allow you to add several images of your own as Featured Slider. There must be issues with the server or conflict with other plugin. Please try deactivating the plugins and see if the problem occurs.

You need to follow the instructions here

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Hi Orlando,

This is because by default, slider loads the images that are loaded first so that there slider loads up quickly.

To make slider load in order, goto Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Slider and in Image Loader option either select Wait or False

Save your settings.

Let me know how it goes.

Sorry I find it…

I did a display on #featured-content #featured-heading {
because I don’t want the Title of the page on the top on the page.

But when I display the title page, it display also the slider text 🙁

How can I display the title page but keep the title slider text ?

Thanks
