@Theodore:
Homepage Headline
The Buy Now bar is called “Homepage Headline” and you can disable it for change it as per your need from “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage Headline Options”

Featured Slider
The slider image is the demo slider image. You can use slider type from Image Slider, Post Slider, Page Slider and Category Slider as per your need. For that you need to go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options” and select the slier type. After that you can follow the instruction mentioned in http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/
Video Tutorial For Image Slider and Post Slider:

http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/

Footer Widget
We don’t have any demo item in Footer Widgets. But yes you can add item in Footer Area from “Appearance => Widgets”. I think you wanted to change the demo Homepage Featured Content.

Homepage Featured Content
By default, this featured content is shown with default images and texts. You can either change the image and text or disable it through “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage Featured Content Options” in your WordPress Dashboard.

Hello Phil,

1. For Post Slider, you can check out this tutorial http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/

2. You can create new post or page and then upload the image in that post/page and add gallery shortcode in your post/page. For more support for gallery, you can install Jetpack plugin and activate jetpack gallery module like “Tiled Galleries” and “carousel”

3. You can upload logo from “Appearance => Theme Options => Header Options”. For this, we recommend logo of maximum height 41px. As this will be fixed header when you scroll down. But if you want to add large Header Image, then you can upload it from “Appearance => Theme Options => Header Featured Image Options”. For this we recommend the image size of 1600px width and 400px height.

4. To disable latest post from homepage. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage / Frontpage Settings”, check in “Disable Latest Posts” and save change.

5. For menu, you can create custom menu from “Appearance => Menus” and then show these menu in different location from “Appearance => Menus => Manage Locations”. For more see this at http://catchthemes.com/blog/custom-menus-wordpress-themes/

For more options, you can upgrade to Pro version. See the list of additional features at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/adventurous-pro/

Have a nice day.

@CoreyHerde: Sorry that you find it difficulty to change the slider image in Catch Kathmandu Free Version. We have been answering question about this in our forum already. Sorry, we never delete any support question here. We carefully answer it within 24 hours of post.

For detail instructions, we always suggest you to see our theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu/

Now, to your question about Featured Post Slider:
1. We are not using Free version as a Scam. Featured Post slider is created to highlight the post featured image, title and excerpt content. So, first you need to create posts and add in featured image.
2. Then you can just go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Post Slider Options” and add in your post IDS.

Video Instruction
See this video for detail http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/

Have a nice day and if you have any other confusion then you can just post in here.

Hi Kat,

The problem is that you are using Catch Everest Theme and visiting Simple Catch Theme support forum. So, these two themes are totally different and css will not work. Please use appropriate support forum http://catchthemes.com/support-forum/forum/catch-everest-public/

I just check in your custom css and there is issue of extra bracket } that you need to remove first. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box and see your code as:

#featured-post .entry-header .entry-title a { color: #ff0000; }
}
#main #content ul.post-by { display: none; }

There you can see extra } remove that and it should be as

#featured-post .entry-header .entry-title a { color: #ff0000; }
#main #content ul.post-by { display: none; }

1. Then to remove the entry meta, you can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box:
.entry-meta { display: none; }

2. For slider text color, see the following css and then change the color code as per your need and add it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

/* Slider Title Color */
#main-slider .entry-title a { color: #fff; }
/* Slider Title Hover Color */
#main-slider .entry-title a:hover { color: #000; }

3. To hide the content in the slier you can just add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#main-slider .entry-content { display: none; }

Have nice day and from next time please check in support forum before you post it.

Regards,
Sakin

@fabger: You can check our theme instruction page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest/, where you can see the ideal size of the featured post slider is Width: 1140px and Height: 450px, So, if you upload the featured image of exactly this size or larger then this, then it will automatically crop to this size. But if you upload the the smaller size then it will show the image as it is.

please share your site URL so that I can check in how you got Noting Found error. I think you don’t have any post in your site that is why it is showing that error in your homepage. So, either you need to add in new posts so that it will show the latest posts. Or if you don’t what to show the latest post in your homepage then go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage / Frontpage Settings” and then un-check Enable Latest Posts.

[Sakin]

@egnalc: Jetpack will not mess up the editor. I think you have another plugin which is conflicting. So, try disabling other plugins.

There is no such recommended site for your header logo. You can simply go to “Appearance = Theme Options => Header Options” and upload logo in Header logo URL or just paste your logo image URL there.

For Catch Mustang theme, we recommend Width 978px and height 275px for featured post slider, page slider and category slider. But for Featured Image Slider, we recommend width to be 978px but height as per your need.

[egnalc]

Ok still no luck with creating hyperlinks using the text editor, Jetpack totally messes up editor.

Also what is the recommended size for the header logo?

Featured slider images are 1140 x 450 correct

[Janette]

Thanks!

Is there a way to but a border around the featured slider?
Is it possible to change the margins in the widget boxes?

Awesome support! Much appreciated!

[Sakin]

@brexous: I see that you are using Catch Everest Free theme, you can see in theme instructions page http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest/, the slider take the featured image size of Width: 1140px and Height: 450px and the Content featured image as Width: 690px and Height: 462px. Sorry there is no option to change that. You might want to try plugins such as Thumbnail Editor to edit those thumbnail.

Or simply upgrade to Catch Everest Pro theme, where you have option to choose image size in the Post and Page “Catch Everest Options” meta box. Also you have option to use independent Featured Image Slider to add independent slider images.

[Sakin]

@Jeff: If you have user Featured Image Slider then you should be able to link to any external link. Yes, to open the link in new window, you need to check “Target. Open Link in New Window”. You can check out http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/

[Sakin]

@Consciousness: Wow such as long questions for free support.

As you can see in the theme instruction page at http://catchthemes.com/themes/catch-evolution/. We recommend you adding Featured Image specially in your post. The most important is for your Free version Featured Slider. As the free version don’t have Image Slider to upload independent image in your slider. So, you need to create post and add featured image, which will be used for Featured Post Slider. See this http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/

For pages, it doesn’t matter much if you add or remove featured image.

(1) There is no default image. If you add featured image then it will display. Otherwise it will not display featured image. So, it depends on your choice where you need or not.

(2) Nothing wrong. It’s your choice and design.

(3) You can use Thumbnail Editor to edit it. Also you can use plugin to edit your thumbnails.

(4) Not necessary

(5) To use just image, you need to use Featured Image Slider which is there only in pro version. http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/ . To hide text in the slider in free version, you can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#slider-wrap .featured-text { display: none; }

5(e) This falls under plugin territory and we are not allowed to add these featured when hosting theme in WordPress.org. So, you need to search for plugin and install it. http://wordpress.org/plugins/

5(f) Pro version has additional features. Some of these has been highlighted in theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution-pro/

6 If you switch to pro versions. Yes it will be smooth and easy transfer. We also have free support for upgrade if you want us to do that for you. But make sure you have not edited or add any files inside catch-evolutions theme directory. As this files will be reverted back to original when you update or upgrade the theme. But all the changes made through Theme Options panel will remain intact.

[Sakin]

@Morganti: There is option to disable slider. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options” and in “Enable Slider”, you can select “Disable” and save changes.

To add Meta Slider in place of current slider. First disable the slider as instructed above. Then you can build child theme. You can download sample child theme from here http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/. There in this child theme, you cad add the following code in the child them functions.php file. In the following code I have added sample meta slider shortcode. So, you need to replace [metaslider id=123]

/**
 * Add Meta Slider in place of default slider
 */
function adventurous_child_meta_slider() {
	//Add your meta slider code
	echo '<div id="main-slider">';
		echo do_shortcode("[metaslider id=123]");
	echo '</div><!-- #main-slider -->';
}
add_action( 'adventurous_before_main', 'adventurous_child_meta_slider', 40 );

[Morganti]

The problem is that in “widgets” it lacks a location (widget area) so I can put my Widgets “Meta slider” (or any other widget). This is to replace the “slider” (Featured Slider) of the “theme” (adventurous-pro). Or have an option to disable the slider “slider” (Featured Slider) of the “theme” (adventurous-pro).

Thank you for your help 🙂

[Sakin]

@Michael: I also see that you have directly edit files inside adventurous-pro theme directory. Please don’t do that, as all the edits inside adventurous-pro theme will be reverted back to original when you update the theme.

To change the images in the slider, you just select Featured Image slider and add it which is shown in http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/ and further you can see detail theme instructions at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/adventurous-pro/

[Sakin]

Hi Luca,

The slider is not the Promotion Headline. It’s called “Featured Slider”. In Adventurous free theme, you have option to select slider type as “Featured Post Slider” or “Featured Category Slider”. But the “Featured Image Slider” and “Featured Page Slider” are only available in Pro version.

To change the image in slider in Adventurous Free theme, you need to create post and add featured image in that post http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-wordpress-postpage/.

1. For Featured Post Slider, you need to select slider type as “Post Slider” from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider” and then add in Post ID at “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Post Slider”. See the video at http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/

2. For Featured Category Slider, you need to select slider type as “Category Slider” from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider” and then select Category at “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Post Slider”.

If you opt in for Pro version, then you can have independent Featured Image Slider as http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/

Hello DRH,

I just check in your slider and see that you are using Featured Post Slide in “Catch Kathmandu Pro theme”. But the image size added as featured image in those posts are small. Your featured image width is just 661px width. But the size needed is 1280px width. So, you need to edit those post and upload the larger featured image.

See the tutorial:

In the “Theme Option” you have “Featured Slider” menu.
But I have another extension “Meta slider”.
I haven’t found an option to put “Meta slider” instead of “Featured Slider”.

Is it a little more understandable?
If Yes, can you help me please ?

Sorry for my english not great 🙂

[Sakin]

Hello Charles,

I am not sure about your settings. So, I suggest you check you settings.
Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Post Slider Options” and make sure you un-checked “Exclude Slider post from Homepage posts”
