@Kim: I check in the theme update and it’s nothing to do with image size. I see in the code it is still set to
add_image_size( 'featured-slider', 644, 320, true );

Check that regenerate thumbnail plugin and clear your cache. I am sure it’s not related to theme update.

@MFerg: The height depend on the featured image that you have added in your posts. Our recommended featured image size for the slider is Width: 1280px and Height: 550px. So, all the image uploaded in this size or greater then this will automatically crop into this size and will be used in slider.

Now, if you want to reduce the height of the slider. Then you can upload the image with smaller height then 550px. In this case our slider code will not crop the image and will show the original image size you have uploaded. This will reduce your slider height.

@Boaz: The default images, that you see in the demo images. If you don’t want images to associated with the post, then you need to use Featured Image Slider. But for this, you need to upgrade to Pro version.

After you change the Number of Slides, have you added in the post IDS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Featured Post Slider Options”

See the post slider tutorial at http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/
You can also see the tutorial for Image Slider which is available only in pro version at http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/

@Sakin:

If you look at the featured slider on the following pages:

A. http://www.bizq.co.za/ : you will notice that the page title does not show in the extract section (section on the left bottom of the featured slider)

B.http://www.bizq.co.za/sme-business-consulting-services/taxation/ : You will see the page title name appears on the extract section e.g. Accounting services and so on

Hope this makes sense. Thanks

@lanretobi: It depends on the theme you are using. They might be same and different. In our new theme, Custom Header Image is the image that are in your header which is controlled main from “Appearance => Header” and also from “Appearance => Theme Options => Header Featured Image Options” to give you more control on where and how you want to display.

Featured Image is the main image of you post, it can be used in your Slider, Archive/Blog page, and also as the main image that represent your post. Depending on the theme it might also show in the single post above your title.

Hello,

I also have the same problem with the slider only showing one image from 4 different posts. I am using the post ID,each post has a different Featured Image but only one image is showing in the slider.

The website I am working on is here:

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Henry

@Kim:
1. The grey line above your first post on Homepage is from Slider. So, go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options” and select “Disable” in Enable Sidebar. This will remove all the slider code and the grey line.

2. For border bottom in all posts, you can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
.hentry { border-bottom: 2px solid #ccc; }

@ashrafashraf: If you search your question before. I am sure I gave you this option already. For this you first need to disable Slider from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider” and then build child theme and add your new slider code in function using action hook. If you want large slider then use hook catchbox_before_primary and for content width slider use hook catchbox_content

You can search from http://catchthemes.com/support-forum/users/ashrafashraf/, where I know I have already given you detail code to add new slider. Wohoo so many 59 topic started and 305 replies created. You are great.

But in both the posts I’ve set a featured image, and they both appear in the slider on the homepage..

I didn’t mean to offend by asking it was a bug, I was just wondering. I love the theme 😉

[Sakin]

@Shanti: The front page two rotating image is demo slider image. If you are using Catch Evolution Free theme then you have option to use Featured Post Slider. If you want to disable it then go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Slider Options” and then select “Disable” in Enable Sidebar and save change.

But if you want to add in your post slider then please check this http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/ and for more theme instructions, check out http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution/ and inf you want to upgrade then check out addition features with instructions at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution-pro/

Oh wow, I’m able to see the featured image and slider without being logged in as well! I guess the issue somehow got resolved on its own over night.

Nevertheless, thanks for the help, @Sakin!

[Sakin]

@BrandonTanis: Maybe it was your cache issue. As I am able to see the slider and featured image in your site. Let me know if you still have issue.

[mensdomain]

Yep those links you have given is the way I do it. Alright so when I post the article with te featured image it seem to grab the images from the slider. Also if you go to the facebook sharing button for that post it grabs the slider images. I’ll try and do a new post tonight and see if it does the same thing will let you know.

[Sakin]

@mtn: Did you check in your options at “Appearance => Theme Options”

1. For Featured Slider: Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options” from your WordPress Dashboard and check your “Enable Slider”.

2. For Homepage Featured Content: Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage Featured Content Options” from your WordPress Dashboard and check your “Disable Homepage Featured Content”.

If you still have issue then I will be emailing your personally, you can reply me there.

@Phil: Sorry to add video in the slider, you might need to hire customizer at http://catchthemes.com/hire-customizer/ as there is no option at this stage. We will look forward for this option in future version update.

But yes, you can add embed video in other places like featured content, pages, posts and widgets. Also you can look for slider plugin at http://wordpress.org/plugins/ which have option to add in video.

Yes, you can change the promotion headline background color and text color. I have changed the background color and border color to black and text to white. You can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

#homepage-message {
    background-color: #000;
    border-color: #000;
    color: #fff;
}

Hi everybody!

How about embed video (from youtube, vimeo or from an upload) in the featured slider?Is that possible only in the pro version?

Thanks

Luca

@mindiapolis: I don’t see that you have enabled Featured Slider. Did you check this screencast video: http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/

I will email you personally if you need further help with this.

[Sakin]

@mindiapolis: You cannot make the slideshow of the images in the header. But you have add Featured Slider. See the theme instructions at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/adventurous-pro/ , image slider instruction at http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/ and post slider instruction at http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/

[Sakin]

@Dipper: Thanks for the access.
I check in your setting and found it. I see that you have added Featured Post Slider and excluded slider post from homepage by checking in Exclude “Slider post from Home page posts” from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Add Slider Options”. I see that you have 4 posts in your Featured Post Slider and you only have 4 published posts. So, all post is in Slider and none in homepage. So, I uncheck it and it’s working fine.

[Sakin]

Hi Robin,

It looks like you are checking your site from more than 1600px screen size. So, you can upload large image as per your need. Just use Featured image slider and then upload large image as per your need. It’s set to 100% so, if you upload large image, it will show large one.

Regards,
Sakin
