My site is http://www.franciscanfriars.org
I am using Catch Base Pro
I have used custom CSS to get a image behind the Header text, it is referred to as a background image in the CSS code… I like the way it looks on the large screen, full size display, because the menu serves as a boarder between the background image and the featured content slider.

However, on mobile devices, since the menu is different, there is no border between the header image and the featured content slider, and the two images clash. I would like to put a border, or a black line at the bottom of the header image on mobile devices only.

Note: I have found a solution that kinda works..I created a header image that is a black bar, and inserted it “Before Menu” on the entire site. However, I would prefer to not use header image on full site, but only on devices below 980 pixels. Is that possible????

I’ve been using Clean Journal for my non-profit site without any issues for several months. Been thinking about asking our Treasurer to consider upgrading us to Pro.

But now, 2 days ago (June 5, 2016), the bulk of our images have inexplicably vanished, and the Featured Slider is only recognizing 1 image (sporadically and only on desktop browsers). The site logo at the top left is the only image that is loading, and that’s only after I deleted it and reuploaded it to the Media Library, but for pretty much everything else, that didn’t work.

None of the settings with/in the theme customization were changed. All the images are in place and linked correctly as featured images. The featured slider is still enabled, etc. I made no changes to the theme at all before this happened. I double-checked everything afterwards and couldn’t find any reasons for this issue.

I *did* update 2 plugins (Akismet & TinyMCE) recently. But I’ve already tried deactivating both of them to see if either of their updates caused the issue, and the problem continues with them inactive.

I have seen several people on various sites stating issues with the newest version of WP having missing images with various themes, so am tentatively wondering if that could be part of the problem? That the newest WP is incompatible with the Clean Journal theme for some reason?

Overall, the theme is working – all my menus are in place, all the pages load . . but only 1 of the 4 featured images load for the slider, and many pages are displaying text in place of the images now. All of the 4 featured pages *do* have their correct featured image set. Without the slider, the first page of our website isn’t nearly as appealing/eye catching.

Several images showed as broken in the Media Library, so I removed and reuploaded, and then redid all the featured images on the pages they went with, and still nothing.

Would love to figure this out. Clean Journal is by far the best theme I’ve used for our site so far, and would like to keep using it, if I can get our images back again!

I’m seeing these problems in FireFox and Chrome, both of which are up-to-date. That is on a desktop PC running Windows 7. On my iPad mini, which is also up-to-date, no images, including the lone 1 mentioned above in the featured slider, are loading at all. That is with Chrome & Safari.

Have also tried cleared cache, cookies, and offline website data. Do not have a caching plugin on the site.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Hi there.

I haven’t updated my blog for a long time but I’m getting back into it now. Back when I stopped working on it everything was fine, but now the featured image slider pictures are distorted. They are the same pictures as back when they were working fine. I checked them all and they are all 1600×600 as they are supposed to be. I tried re-uploading them but it didn’t work.

The weird thing is that the first (out of 3 pictures) is showing normally, but the 2 others are stretched downward, but not to the sides, for some reason.

I also tried cropping one of the warped pictures and even though it was cropped to a smaller size than 1600×600 it still showed up larger than the first pictured that had retained its correct size.

I’m clueless about what the problem is and how to fix it. I hope you have a solution. Thank you!

@hmiller: There is no color options for those two in the customizer, if you want to change the default color, you can use Custom CSS. If you want, we can help you further.

I tested the theme with Jetpack Extra Sidebar option, and everything is working fine. Featured Content and Featured Slider are displaying fine. If you have other plugins, try disabling it and check if it resolves the issue.

Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following CSS:

/* Remove lines between links on the sidebar */
.widget ul li {
    border-bottom: none;
}
/* Change background Color of the sidebar */
#secondary {
    background-color: #bbb;
}

Let me know if any problem. Please post in your site url.

Regards,
Mahesh

I noticed that I cannot change the color for the breadcrumb links or the hover color for the sidebar menus. I’ve gone through every color option & no longer see any green but yet those two areas are still the default green.

Also, both the free & pro versions of the theme have a conflict with the Jetpack extra widgets option. If that option is enabled, the “featured content” and “featured slider” options do not appear when those features are enabled.

Lastly, is there a way to remove the lines from between the links on the sidebar menu or a way to change just the background color of the sidebar (not the menu titles, the color behind the links)?

Hello,

Is there a shortcode for the featured slider, if you want to use it somewhere else in the theme?

[Mahesh]

@allindesign: Have you added featured image to your pages as in this video?
https://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-wordpress-postpage/
If not please add, and the image will appear.
If you do have featured image add in the page already and its not displaying, try disabling plugins one by one and check if it resolves the issue.

Have you selected same page in all three slides in the Featured Slider?
Let me know further.

Regards,
Mahesh

@pratik All pages have a featured slider, still not appearing in the slider! URL is allindesign.ie

@moon:
Hi Juan,
Thank you for using Catch Responsive Pro.
1. There are currently 9 posts per page and I want to show 5.
The posts per page is working fine. The issue you are facing is because of the Sticky posts. Currently in your site’s homepage, 9 posts are being displayed because all of them are set as sticky. But if you click on older posts at the bottom, it will show only 5 posts, which show the post per page function is working fine. You’ll need to edit each post and remove sticky for all those post. Go to Posts page in Dashboard, and edit a sticky post. Then in edit post page, you’ll see publish tab at the right top, in that tab look for Visibility: Public, Sticky Edit, click on edit some options will slide down, uncheck Stick this post to the front page and click update. Repeat this for other sticky posts too.

2) Margins (empty spaces) between objects/sections
This CSS removes the spaces between slider and posts. Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following CSS:

#feature-slider {
    padding-bottom: 0;
}

2.1): There is an option Featured Header Image Position in Customizer’s Header Image which helps you position the header image. But if you are trying to have header image before menu in desktop, and after menu in mobile devices, this is not possible.

3) Center the footer with custom social icons
Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following CSS:

#catchresponsive_social_icons-8 .widget-wrap {
    text-align: center;
}

Let me know if any problem.

Regards,
Mahesh

@monicavilas: Actually, Catch Base free doesn’t support multi-language and you might want to consider using Catch Base Pro theme. But as per your message, you are saying it’s working in customizer then can you try adding the following code in your child theme functions.php file:

if ( ! function_exists( 'catchbase_wpml_invalidcache' ) ) :
/**
 * Template for Clearing WPML Invalid Cache
 *
 * To override this in a child theme
 * simply create your own catchbase_wpml_invalidcache(), and that function will be used instead.
 *
 * @since Catch Base Pro 3.0
 */
function catchbase_wpml_invalidcache() {
	delete_transient( 'catchbase_featured_content' );
	delete_transient( 'catchbase_featured_slider' );
	delete_transient( 'catchbase_footer_content' );	
	delete_transient( 'catchbase_promotion_headline' );
	delete_transient( 'catchbase_featured_image' );
	delete_transient( 'all_the_cool_cats' );	
} // catchbase_wpml_invalidcache
endif;

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'catchbase_wpml_invalidcache' );

Hi again Sakin,
I’ve built another website with the same theme (which I love) and I am having the exact same issue as described many months ago..

I’ve built a website in three languages and now that is nearly done I realized there is one thing that doesn’t work.
In my featured slider images there is some text (some images are graphs with text). That’s why I’ve uploaded different images (featured image in each page) for each language.
When I’m on the main page and change language this images in the slider doesn’t change.
The strange thing is that when I preview the web while customizing the featured slider it does work (so the image change when switching languages).

I tried to add what you suggested months ago in my editor (I’ve built a child theme), but I had worse luck this time and didn’t work..
Could you give me a hint on how to solve this?

Your help is much appreciated!
Thanks,

Mònica

@joshs: I understand your problem. You are using Catch Responsive Free version and the theme has limited customization options and the problem you are facing is one of them. In free version, the featured slider has only two options, demo-slider and page-slider. The feature you seek is available in Catch Responsive Pro, there is an option featued-image-slider through which you can add image, title, content, link as you want in the slider. I recommend you to upgrade to Pro version.

Mahesh

Hi,

Our website is : http://tuanzbuild.tuanz.org.nz/

I am utilizing the featured slider on our website and want to be able to link the “After 5’s” slide image and information to the events page, but it is a category. I am unsure on how to do this?

I also need to link the “#getdigital” slide image to another website.

Hi guys,

What am I doing wrong in here?

Thanks a lot for you help.

[Mahesh]

@stefanhoesli: Do you mean navigation arrows in Featured Slider? If so, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following CSS:

#feature-slider .cycle-prev::before, 
#feature-slider .cycle-next::before {
    display: none;
}

A box with 50% opacity for the Featured Category Slider would be great.

[alphaxyz]

Also, can you tell me how to add a box to wrap around the title in Featured Category Slider? The color of the text for the title follow the color the link that I set (blue) but when I put an image where the dominant color is blue the visitors won’t be able to read the title.

As I understand it, there is a box for the title text but it will only appear when a visitor hover the cursor to the title text.

That is why it would be great to have a box to wrap the title text.

Is there a solution to this?

Hi,

I have set up the featured slider to display on my Home/Frontpage only. I have 4 featured pages on it and each page has it’s own featured image.

However, the images are not displaying on the slider (the message “Image not found, please add featured image in your page’ is displayed)

Any idea how to fix this problem?

Regards,
Leo

Hi there,

I’ve been using Full Frame Pro for a few years now, and it’s been great.

Today I tried to upload a few new images to my Featured Slider page to update the site, and the Featured Slider settings are pretty much blank.. The only thing I’m seeing is:

Enable Slider on: Homepage/Frontpage

None of the other usual options are visible. i’ve checked all your forums, but cannot find a solution to the problem. My website is currently showing the featured slider, but that’s only because it’s using the previously uploaded images from when it was available.

Could you please help me resolve this?

@impressionsfromheaven:
1. Adjust font size: This can be done through Custom CSS.
Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following:

.featured-text .slider-title {
    font-size: 20px;
}

.featured-text .slider-content {
    font-size: 15px;
}

#access ul li a {
	font-size: 15px;
}

Note: Adjust the font-size as required.

2. Did you changed the image size in code? If so, you’ll need to use Regenerate thumbnails plugin once.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

3. Please use Jetpack Plugin’s Subscription module or any other plugins in http://wordpress.org/plugins that suits for you.

Mahesh
