@dbevarly: Sorry for the trouble. I hope I will be able to make you happy.

1. Featured Slider
You are saying that you choose Featured Image Slider and uploaded 4 images but it is not showing. So, I will mention the steps and you can check in which one is missing.
1.1. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options”. Then select “Featured Image Slider” in Select Slider Type and “Homepage / Frontpage” in Enable Slider and Save.
1.2. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Image Slider Options”. Then in Image add in Image URL and then link, title and content and Save.

2. Widgets in Sidebar
You are saying that your widgets are not displaying. When I check in your site, I see that you have selected “No Sidebar” layout. That is why it is not showing any sidebar. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Layout Options” and in “Default Layout”, you can select “Right Sidebar” and Save.

3. Header
This theme uses Custom Header and Logo. For logo you can go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Header Options” and then add in logo image URL in “Header logo url”. Then for custom header, you can go to “Appearance => Header” and upload the full width custom header image. But sorry there is no option to change header image just for one page.

@malipl: Are you using Catch Kathmandu Free Theme. Did you check in Theme Instruction page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu/. 1. Is your Featured Slider and 2. Is your Homepage Featured Content

1. Featured Slider:
Catch Kathmandu Free theme only have option to use either Post Slider or Category Slider. Both of these are created to highlight your post. So, these slider takes Post Featured Images, Title and Excerpt Content.
1.1. First create post from “Posts => Add New” and then add “Featured Image” in the post. In your post editor you will see the Featured Image module in the bottom right corner under Page Attributes. Click on Choose a Featured Image. Then you can either upload the image from your computer or select the existing image from your media library and click on Set Featured Image. Click to view screenshot
1.2. Then Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider”. Then in Slider Options, you can select slider type as either “Post Slider” or “Category Slider”. If you select Post slider then you need to add in the post ID in “Featured Post Slider Options” and if you select Category slider then you need to select the category.

2. Homepage Featured Content
You can go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage Featured Content Options”. Then add in the image url, title, content and link as per your need. Then click on Save Changes.

@VibeEnglish: Please don’t edit style.css directly. You can add in extra style either in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box or by building child theme.

Free theme only have Post slider and category slier option to highlight you post. Or Image Slider you need to upgrade to pro version. But you can upload your own image in Post and Category Slider. The only different is that these images are pulled from your post Featured Image.
1. First you need to create post from “Posts => Add New” and then add Featured Image. See this screenshot http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798331806476/
2. Then either you can select Post Slider and add in your post ID or you can select category slider and select category. See the detail theme instructions at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu/

[Sakin]

@Stephan: If you don’t want link in your slider image, then you can use Featured Image Slider and don’t add link.

Sorry there is no option to use same design as of homepage.

[Sakin]

@HarveyLo: When I check in your site. I see only one valid Post ID in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Featured Post Slider Options”. You need to add in individual post id like this http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329984427/

Also when you add in the post ID, make sure those post have Featured Image. See the theme instruction for adding featured image in your post http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution/ and screenshot http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798331806476/

[Sakin]

@Nate: Something is not working in your site. I will send you email and you can add details there.

When I check in your site homepage, I see you have featured image only in the following post.
ASE A6 “ELECTRICAL” INJECTOR WIRING DIAGRAM – Post ID 170
ASE A6 “ELECTRICAL” VOLTAGE DROP PART 3 – Post ID 128
ASE A6 “ELECTRICAL” VOLTAGE DROP PART 2 – Post ID 126

Can you try adding in these ID in your Featured Post Slider.

[Sakin]

@mcevolution: Sorry I am bit confused as when I check in your site I see that you are using Featured Image Slider and talking about Post Slider. So when you add in the featured image slider why do you need to exclude the post from homepage.

Hello,
I purchased WPML (3.1.5b2) and Kathmandu Catch Pro (2.9) for the site http://www.pianedienea.it/home/
There is a problem with the ‘Featured Posts Slider’.
I have created the post 84 and 91 in Italian, the relevant post in English (using WPML) are 88 and 96.
I’m trying to create the slider images on the home page but the posts are not to be published (in the home). I selected “Exclude from Homepage Slider post posts? YES “, but if I insert in:
Featured Posts Slider # 1 84
Featured Posts Slider # 2 91
then http://www.pianedienea.it/home/ ok (there are not posts on the home)
but in http://www.pianedienea.it/home/en/ I see post and images on the home page!

If I insert
Featured Posts Slider # 1 88
Featured Posts Slider # 2 96
Then http://www.pianedienea.it/home/en/ ok (there are not posts on the home)
but in http://www.pianedienea.it/home/ I see post and images on the home page!

How can I fix the problem?
Thanks Ps this support request has been sent to both WPML and both Catck Themes, quallcuno hoping that will solve my problem as soon as possible.

@Ena: You can add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box to remove the Excerpt text from your slider. Now it will just show the title.

#slider-wrap .featured-text .sep,
#slider-wrap .featured-text .slider-excerpt { 
    display: none;
}

[Sakin]

@Nate: Did you add in Featured Images in those post.
How to add Featured Image in Posts:
1. Open the editor of the post/page where you want to display image, and locate the Featured Image module in the bottom right corner under Page Attributes. Click Choose a Featured Image.
2. Then you can either upload the image from your computer or select the existing image from your media library.
3. Then you can click on “Set Featured Image”. See the screenshot http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329948788/

If you are having trouble with Featured Post Slider, then you can use Featured Image Slider. Read the theme instruction at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/simple-catch-pro/

If you still have problem then do let me know it.

I had the free version of simple catch, and the post sliders where working fine. Then one day they stopped, so I upgraded to the pro version and they still do not work. I have a featured image in the post from the bottom right corner,I have the post ID number in the post ID box under featured slider. The only thing that shows up is the dots on the bottom on the header if I do more then one post, but no image.

I been trying for hours with no success, I know I’m missing something but what?

Thanks

Is it a must to change page name to something other than Home?
When I create a home page, I would like the Featured Image slider to only show?

If I can only have one homepage that is fixated with the featured slider, how can I remove the search field below it that says Nothing Found?

Also, how can I edit the home page catch box has locked with with other content?

[Sakin]

@Vesa: I see that you haven’t added “Featured Image” in your slider post. So, just edit your posts and locate the Featured Image module in the bottom right corner under Page Attributes. Click Choose a Featured Image. Then you can upload or choose image from the Media Library and then finally click on Set Featured Image

Sakin, thank you for your quick response!

First of all, my layout option was Full Content Display, not Excerpt Blog Display… Sorry for my mistake.

Anyway, I put “5” from “Appearance => Theme Options => Excerpt / More Tag Settings => Excerpt length(words)” It should display really short texts, but it’s still the same… Is this because I am using multibyte character?

Then, I tried the second one. Yet, each featured post slider still shows all the texts (and adding “read more” in the end!).

I put my URL here;
http://www.keyspace.info/

You’ll see the first slider is more-tag, and the second is excerpt… Could you give me any advise?

Thanx!

Hi, I am also trying to change the slider images on the front page of my new site: http://familyrhythms.ca/

I don’t actually have this sequence available: Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider

What I have off my dashboard is: Appearance => Theme Options => a list of items appears including “Header Featured Image Options” and “Content Featured Image Options”…

When I go into either of those, I don’t see the options clearly that you suggest. I did manage to add a featured image to a post and it shows up on the ‘individual counselling’ post. But I can’t seem to change the images on the homepage.

I’d like all the images on the front page to be replaced.

Please advise…

Thank you

[Sakin]

@joaobruch: Post in your site URL. I have given you clear instruction that you need to Create Post and then add Featured Image in your post. You can check this video on hoe to add featured image in your post http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KEsCtRb-S8

Then you can setup the slider from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider”. So, can you tell me where did you set stuck in?

[Sakin]

@Dennis Lynge Nielsen: I see that you are using Catch Kathmandu Free theme and the images that you are seeing is the demo Featured Slider.

To change the Featured Slider image and text
1. First you need to create post and add featured image in post. As the slider takes the Featured Image, title and excerpt content of the post.
2. Then go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider” in your WordPress Dashboard
3. Under Slider Options select Slider Type as “Featured Post Slider” if you want to add in the post ID. Or you can select type as “Category Slider” if you want to show the latest post from particular category.
4. If you choose “Featured Post Slider” then under Featured Post Slider Options, simply insert the ID numbers for Posts in the boxes, one Post ID number in each box. Or if you choose “Category Slider” then under Featured Category Slider Options, select the category.
5. Then click on “Save Changes”

Screenshots:
Settings Featured Image: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329948788/
Setting Post ID: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329984427/

But in Catch Kathmandu Pro, you have independent Featured Image Slider and Page Slider as extra slider type.

Catch Kathmandu is also compatible with WPML? and Catch Kathmandu Pro?
Have you solved the problems related to:
1)picture galleries?
2)Homepage Headline Text?
3)Homepage Featured Content?
4)Exclude post from Homepage Slider posts?
These are all problems that I have found, that WPML can not translate!
thanks

@spfitzgerald: Hum… You are using Catch Kathmandu Free theme which only have option to use Featured Post Slider or Featured Category Slider, which highlight your post in your Slider. So, there is no option to remove the link. To add the image slider without the link, you need Featured Image Slider. This option is only there in Catch Kathmandu Pro theme. See details at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/
