@philwilky: The best and easiest way that I would recommend you to have the above mentioned feature is to upgrade to Catch Base Pro. Yes, Catch Base Pro version does have that functionality for Featured Slider and Featured Content. You will have full control over the image, content and links in both of the above (Featured Slider and Featured Content). The Pro version has much more other options too (Color option, Footer Editor etc).
Hope this helps you.

Hi!
I only get my social links icons in the footer menu at the bottom of the site. Is it possible to change the position to the right top instead?
I am using the Catch responsive pro theme.
I am also hoping some of you can help me get my featured slider back!! Since I have started using the plugin Meta slider, my featured slider on the front page only shows like a very thin line at the top of the page, covered by the featured content. What has happened?
Please e-mail me at [email protected] if someone thinks they can help me and need some further information on my page.

Hello,

Everyone on here seems really helpful and supportive that’s great!

I have made a child theme from Catch Base and am looking at adding a fully featured slider to the home page to replace the featured image slider that is currently if i install a slider plugin and want to know how to add it to the theme.

The plugin i am using “Huge IT Sliders” and states the following regarding adding a slider to a theme.

”
Template Include

Copy & paste this code into a template file to include the slideshow within your theme.
”

but is quite vague, i do like the current slider so would like it to be replaced like for like if possible. Just need a slider that gives me more control over image and links. Would also buy the pro version if that would offer me more control over the slider. but its hard to see if that control is there by reading theme info.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

@cjcomms: Pro version is with same scenario too. The Pro version have other options such as Color option, Slider option, Featured Content etc.

@geosot11: Well, this is beyond my control. I can only suggest you to either upgrade to Pro or Hire customizer/Find a friend who can do the customization to display Posts in Featured Content and Featured Slider instead.
For further, please contact may be they can help you.

@geosot11: In Clean Journal Free version, there is limit for featured content and featured slider to pages and demo only. For more feature like displaying post, widget, image, category is only available in Pro. I recommend you to upgrade to Clean Journal Pro.

Hi @Markus,

Can you check the site now? The header image is coming up properly.

Edit:

What you meant was Featured Slider not Header Image. To change it, Please follow the https://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-flames-pro/ and search for Featured Slider.

This should help you change the match stick image.

Hi!

How can I use featured content and featured slider with my posts, not only pages? Thanks in advance.

[Mahesh]

@hoffmen99: Thank you for using Catch Responsive Pro. I checked the theme and seems to be an bug in the slider. Our team has found the bug and fixed it. The issue will be fixed on the next update ( will be available soon ). If its urgent for you, you can fix it manually. Find catchresponsive-featured-slider.php inside theme_directory/inc folder, go to line 53 you will see following code:
data-cycle-fx="'. absint( $options['featured_slide_transition_effect'] ) .'"
Change this to
data-cycle-fx="'. esc_attr( $options['featured_slide_transition_effect'] ) .'"
Note: The thing need to change is absint to esc_attr.

Thank you for letting us know the bug.

Regards,
Mahesh

@tdejarnett: Format the text do you mean to change font size? Since you header text in the slider are long, using small font will fix the issue. Go to “Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS” box and add the following CSS.

/* Adjust Featured Slider's header font size */
#feature-slider .entry-title {
    font-size: 20px;
}
/* Adjust Featured Slider's content font size */
#feature-slider .entry-content {
    font-size: 15px;
}

Note: Please adjust the font size as you required.

Let me know if any problem.

Mahesh

Hi there,

Updated to latest version. Now on android using chrome browser the pictures, background and featured slider do not load.

Works okay on firefox.

I’ve un-activated all plugins but and makes no difference.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Gordon

@jdc: I checked the theme as per your testing. But didn’t run to any problem. It worked fine. As you’ve mentioned, that your production site is working fine but you are getting problem in your test site only. I navigate to the Featured Slider in customizer and can upload the image again normally. I guess there is a problem in your WordPress installation on your test site. I recommend you to install a fresh copy of the WordPress and test the theme again.
The login in “preview area” may be also caused by the above issue.
Let me know if the problem persist.

Hi @pedrokraft,
To remove the links, you need to use Featured Image Slider instead of the Featured Page/Post/Category Slider. This is a custom slider. You can add only images title and content.

Its details are here: https://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-responsive-pro/#enable-featured-image-slider

Let me know if this works or not.

How do I format the text on my featured post slider so that words are not split on to two lines?

[JDC]

I am using CatchBase Pro (version 3.4) on a Production Site (https://everygoodgift.org/) and a Test Site (https://everygoodgift.org/wptest/).

I created a Child Theme for each, but there is no customization happening in the child theme. I only mention it in case that is part of the problem.

On each of the sites, I set up a Featured Slider on the Home Page with 5 images, and they worked well. I then reduced the file size of the images and reloaded them.

On the Production Site, I assigned the new reduced images to the slider and then deleted the old larger images from the Media Library. It all went well.

On the Test Site, I also loaded the new reduced images to the Media Library, but I deleted the old larger images from the Media Library while they were still assigned to the slider. I then went to Appearance > Customize> Featured Slider. However, now, instead of being able to assign the new images, I no longer get any of the options related to the slider on the left sidebar like Transition Effect, etc. I only get the “Enable Slider on” dropdown box at the top, and my choices are: Homepage / Frontpage, Entire Site, and Disabled, but I can no longer specify which images to put in the slider.

I even tried looking in the database to see if I could enter the records that way. I found two rows in wp_options in the Production Database that seemed to affect things: “_transient_timeout_catchbase_featured_slider” and “_transient_catchbase_featured_slider”.

The former had a number, which I don’t understand. In my case, in the Production Database it was “1458816944”. The latter had the html for a “feature-slider” section. I tried recreating these records in the Test Database, but it appears to have no effect. I tried changing the number to one of the ones in some of the other ‘%catchbase%’ options in the Test Database in a way that was parallel to what was in the Production Database. That didn’t seem to make a difference either.

While it is not absolutely critical that I have this feature working on the Test Site, I would like it to work.

Can you give me any help or direction?

One other thing I should tell you. For a long time now, I have not been able to get the preview feature in Appearance > Customize to work on the Test Administrative Site even though it works fine on the Production Administrative Site. Instead of seeing the preview, I see a WordPress Admin login screen in the “preview area” and a message telling me that the session has expired and that I have to log in again. I have been living with this because I can get to all the options on the left sidebar. I mention it now only because my problem with the slider may be related.

[Mahesh]

@dolomie: If you want slider in your entire website, you can do it with customizer setting. Go to “Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Slider” and choose Entire Site in Enable Slider on.
And for the other problem, the image is not showing in the Nextget Slider because the src attribute in img tag in slider is empty. May be you haven’t selected images for the slider.

Mahesh

[Dolomie]

OK thanks, now I have another problem. I would insert at the top of a page a basic slideshow (like Nextgen) instead of the static image defined under featured image. Because when I remove this than I have no image in the image slider on the homepage.
Other problem is that in the Nextgen Basic slideshow there is a blank zone under the foto and the next text.

Thanks
Patrick

Hi, I have a problem with my featured slider. Please check http://www.dolomie.it/wordpress. In fact when i open the page at first it will be opne the icons in middle of the page and after that the image slider at the top. And the problem is also that it start not always with the first image. I want that the page open only with the first image of the slider (in my case the foto of the house). Can you help me? Thanks Patrick

[dougdavis22]

Thanks for this – it seems to be OK now.

On the same subject, is there a way to limit the number of lines of text that appear under the featured image in the slider? At the moment the slider box grows & shrinks as the amount of text changes and causes a ‘jumping’ effect of the header of the front page section underneath. Thanks.

[Mahesh]

@smartie_pants: Yes it is possible. For this please see the steps in the theme instruction in below link (How to enable Featured Image Slider?)
https://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/chicago-pro/#enable-featured-image-slider.
Note: As you select Featured Image Slider in Slider Type, select the images you want to display in slider in Featured Slide# Image
Let me know if any trouble.

Mahesh
