Hi @Mupa,
I apologize but it is difficult to understand the issue. Do you mean the Featured Image Slider image does not scale up as Page slider? If so, then in image slider, the size that is displayed is exactly the size you save. If you put a bigger image in the image slider, it should work.

The ideal aspect ratio for the Featured Image/Page Slider is 2,33 (1680:720) right?
Off course this aspect ratio is perfect for destop mode. But if i’m using a smartphone in portrait mode, it would be nice if it would scale to an aspect ratio with more less width and/or bigger height (e.g. 16:9), so that the picture fills more space of the screen.
Is this possible?
If i’m using the same size like the ideal size for featured page images (1680×720), the size matches on my laptop screen (1366×768). But when i open this config on a bigger screen (e.g. 1920×1200), the picture will not be scaled up.
If i’m using the Featured Page Slider, the featured image (1680×720) will be scaled up on a bigger screen to something bigger then 1680×720 (in my case to 1903×816).
I would like to just show some slides on my home screen and i thought using the Featured Image Slider is the best way to do this. But at the moment i have to use this workaround where i have created some pages without title, so that they are displayed correctly.

Please have a look. Atm, Featured Page Slider is activated.
@alesia90230: Thank you for using Catch Evolution Pro.
1. Line height of my primary menu text:
Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options => Custom CSS box and add the following CSS:
#header-menu ul.menu a {
line-height: 2em;
}
2. Reduce the size of my photos in the featured slider: Can you please clarify more on this?
Regards,
Mahesh
Hello Catch Evolution Pro support team! Thank you for all your hard work. I’ve searched through all the forums and couldn’t find an answer to my questions, so please help!
1) How do I change the line height of my primary menu text? I managed to increase the text, but I’d like to reduce the spacing all around the menu items so things look a bit more condensed.
2) How do I reduce the size of my photos in the featured slider?
Thank you so much.
Hello,
The featured slider that was on my home page stopped working.
Only the first image of the slider is now there, static. I’m running wordpress 4.4.2
Can you take a look at it please?
I am not web designer savvy so I don’t want to mess things up trying many different things. I thought it is better to ask you, the expert.

Hi,
Using Adventurous pro, I’m unable to get the Slider, the Promotions Headline and the Featured content working in both languages. I’m able to translate the text using Settings – Languages but if I got to the website, I see the same language even when I switch languages. Any idea what the problem could be? Thanks,
Is it possible to hide these arrows if you display the Featured Page/Content Slider with a mobile device?
Kind regards
@ahakristin: Catch Responsive Pro is a boxed layout theme, that is why you are seeing space on the right and left and all the content goes to the middle. If you want to have full screen layout, I recommend you to check other theme Full Frame for example.
But if you want to make Catch Responsive Pro full screen. You have to do a bit of customization with Custom CSS:
.site {
width: 100%;
}
#feature-slider img, #featured-content img {
width: 100%;
}
#featured-content.layout-three .hentry {
width: 33.33%;
}
While making the site fullscreen, some media queries have to be used for responsive design through out different devices. I recommend you to hire a customizer.

I’m using this Featured Page Slider with a page which has a featured image with a resolution of 3872 x 2592. The problem now is that the image isn’t cut to the themes optimal size of 1680×720. I have used Regenerate Thumbnails and i can see that this plugin has created a picture with the correct size (Testimage-1-1680×720.jpg).
So why isn’t Catch Adaptive using this image?
Hi again Mahesh. I’m working on my site http://www.ny.aha.no/ and finding more and more Things that Works for me.
But I would really appreciate it, if you could visit my page and try and tell me how I can make all the Visuals more fullscreen/wider, so that the header, menu, slider and featured content doesn’t get so much free, white Space on the sides. Hope you see what I mean, and I would really be thankfull for Your help 🙂
@daviddomi: You’ll need to create a child theme for this. You can find more details on creating child theme HERE. Then in your functions.php add the following code:
function jomsom_featured_image_display() {
$options = jomsom_get_theme_options();
if ( "before-header" == $options['featured_header_image_position'] ) {
add_action( 'jomsom_header', 'jomsom_featured_overall_image', 15 );
}
elseif ( "after-slider" == $options['featured_header_image_position'] ) {
add_action( 'jomsom_before_content', 'jomsom_featured_overall_image', 20 );
}
elseif ( "after-header" == $options['featured_header_image_position'] ) {
add_action( 'jomsom_after_header', 'jomsom_featured_overall_image', 40 );
}
}
Note: Please make sure that Before Header option is selected in Featured Header Image Position.

Hi @kate-upton,
To remove the permalinks from featured post slider, please follow following steps::
1. Create A Child Theme for Simple Catch Theme. Details for child theme is here
2. In your child theme’s functions.php add the function given here: http://pastebin.com/PPVuyLz0
* It is the same function that you have given, just removed the links. Check line 35 in new code for difference.
Let me know how it goes.
Quick Note: For Future references, the reply will be much quicker if you post your issue in a separate post under your theme. This post is for users that use Adventurous Pro theme

Thanks. I was able to change the background image.
But i am stuck on other things now. Please help me with…
1. How to change the text color below the Featured Post Slider.
2. How to change the hover color of Header Text? Presently Active color is White but changes to Black on hovering. How to change it?
3. I want to customize the footer to my name where it says Powered by WordPress | Theme Simple Catch Pro.
I thank you in anticipation of your response.
Cheers!
I tried many times to change my featured slider transition style as there are different options, but all in vain! Only ‘fade out’ is possible. Is there a way to change slider transition effect? Eagerly waiting for your help…
@justanotherwordpressuser: Full Frame free version has limit to certain options, Featured Content is one of them. In free version, you can only use demo or pages content as featured content. The option you are seeking is availabe in Pro version. In Full Frame Pro, you can use Page, Post, Image (Custom link, content and image) or Category as Featured Content. Same with Featured Slider. I recommend you to upgrade to Full Frame Pro.
If you want to have it in the free version, you’ll need to hire a customizer.

@ahakristin: Got the email and the attachments too. Your images size and aspect ratios are way too different. Some are landscape and some are portrait. The recommend size of the featured slider according to theme instruction is:
Width: 1200px
Height: 514px
I recommend you to edit the image first and make all the image to above size. If you want to have larger image, that’s fine too just make sure the aspect ratio for all image is same. Therefore you can fix the issue of unproportional slider image.
Let me know if any issue.

Mahesh
@ahakristin: Thank you for using Catch Responsive Pro.
1. Change position of social link icons to right top
Yes, it is possible to change position of social link icons to right top. Go to “Dashboard=> Appearance=> Widgets” and drag CT:Social Icons widget to Header Right widget area and click Save. Go to “Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Header Right Sidebar Option” and make sure Check to disable Header Right Sidebar is Unchecked
2. Featured Slider
May be the slider is causing the issue. Please disable all plugins one by one and check if it solves the issue.
Let me know if any problem. And please post in your site url.
