I’m pretty sure I’m looking for some code in a php file, but I’m not quite sure where or what to look for.

I’d like to be able to set the featured images so that they show up on the slider, but I don’t want the featured image to show in the post.

Is there a line of code you can direct me to for deletion or is there a piece of code I need to edit/add?

Thanks in advance.

@Irina: I see that you are using Featured Image Slider. But when you upload the image, you have clicked on “Attachment Post URL” and then Insert into Post that is why it couldn’t fine the image. You need to click on “File URL” and then “Insert Into Post”. See this screenshot http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798331557672/

I would like to have a different logo just for the posts and blog page. Is that possible? as you said before, «Sorry you cannot change the logo for different pages. Logo is fixed image»

– to use Featured Header Image in Page/Post Featured Image, I’m using featured images on some pages to show them on the homepage slider and those are not the ones I want to show on the top of that page.

[Sakin]

@Melanie: Second column in not the widget area. It’s the Featured Slider and then the latest post from homepage.

Hi Sakin,
Thanks for the quick response!

I have made the following changes in Appearance> Theme Options > Theme Options:
• a custom logo
• favicon
• recently just changed the header, with the CSS you just provided me.

Will those items be changed, or need to be redone?

2) Will anything from the Appearance > Theme Options > Homepage settings; > Featured post slider, > Social LInks or > webmaster tools be changed?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,

SBARTSCH

@gailforder: I see that you have edited the core theme files and add the the image in the demo slider code. You shouldn’t edit any core theme files. If you edit core theme files, you edit will be overwritten when you update or upgrade your theme. So, you can do your customization through “Appearance => Theme Options” panel and Appearance Menu. Further, if you want to edit core theme files then you have to do by building child them.

Catch Everest Free theme have option only to use Featured Post Slider. This slider is create to highlight your post. For more slider option you need to upgrade to pro version. See the theme instruction page of Catch Everest Free theme http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest/, here is the text from theme instruction page.

How to Add Featured Post Slider?
Currently this theme only support Posts in the Featured Slider. To add Featured Slider, follow these basic steps:
1. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider” in your WordPress Dashboard
2. To add Posts in the slider, click on Slider Options and simply insert the ID numbers for posts in the boxes, one post ID number in each box
3. To change the slider effects and timing, go to Slider Effect Options which is just below Slider Options
4. Click on Save button
Note:
* When you add the Post IDs, make sure your posts have Featured Images
* If you are unable to find post IDs, please install Catch IDs Plugin to find the Post IDs

Ok, i begin to send some information, i’m on work now, i’ll check it well in the night, but I know how sad it is get stucked on something like this. Look for the problem of language reset, that if you check it well you’ll see happen in the footer too, i solved in this way:
First of all i’m using a child theme, (hope you do the same)
I copied the home.php file and add inmediatly after the line with
get_header();

the following code:

delete_transient( 'catcheverest_image_sliders' ); 
delete_transient( 'catcheverest_homepage_headline' );
delete_transient( 'catcheverest_homepage_featured_content' );
delete_transient( 'catcheverest_footer_content' );
delete_transient( 'catcheverest_footercode' );

with this you can solve the problem of language resetting….

For the other thing of the links in homepage featured content I find a shortcut not a solution. When I did the site there was no way to make the links work, using the qtransate quick tags in the link field, but the content field allow you to write something like this:
[:es]<a id="depa_titulo" href="/departamentos" >Departamentos</a>[:it]<a id="depa_titolo" href=http://www.mexiconuvole.com/it/departamentos">Appartamenti</a>[:en]<a id="depa_title" href=http://www.mexiconuvole.com/en/departamentos">Apartments</a>

Then playing with CSS you say to the title to disappear with a display:none and you have your content working as title with a working relative link.
But as you can see i did not need content there. I saw you wrote things there inside, give a try enhancing the code above creating a container div for your content and see if it work.
In the night I’ll send you some css.

http://bodyshoppt.com is my site. I figured out how to change the featured slider images on my webpage, but if I share my webpage on Facebook, it shows the default mountain image that comes with this theme. It also displays the description of the Catch Kathmandu theme, not my webpage. Where do I modify what Facebook (and maybe search engines?) use as my site description?

[Sakin]

@Caitlin: I am bit confused about your request as you haven’t share your site URL. So are you trying to add Featured Slider in Catch Kathmandu Pro theme.

Please check in the Theme Instruction at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/. In Featured Slider, you can choose the from Page Slider or Post Slider or Category slider or image slider and how to add that is mentioned in theme instruction page.

[Sakin]

@varaani: There is no option to add text area between header image and featured post slider. For that you need to create child theme and do the customization.

Sorry I don’t understand your second question.

@Nancy: If you have already change your column width to 854px then you need to increase the size of image in the sizer to 854px. This will be difficult using default image form Feature Page or Post slider. But I see that you are using Catch Evolution Pro theme then you can just user Featured Image Slider and then upload the image as per your need.

[Sakin]

@ourag: Your all 3 question simple answer will be upgrade to Catch Evolution Pro version. See the theme instruction of pro version at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution-pro/

1. You can remove Powered by :Wordpress and Theme: Catch Evolution from footer in Pro version through “Appearance => Theme Options => Footer Editor”
2. Yes, you can option to user Featured Image Slider in Pro version. Where you can upload your independent images.
3. In Pro version you can control comment for pages and posts from “Appearance => Theme Options => Comment Options”.

[Sakin]

@MVS: It’s ok I will take a look at your site.
I see that you are using Featured Post Slider. This takes the post ID and get in the post featured image, post title and post excerpt text.
I see that you have added ID 58 and 1538. Your post ID 58 have Featured Image but the post http://www.looks-familiar.com/wp/wordpress/?p=1538 don’t have featured image. I see that you have insert the image in your post but haven’t assigned as Featured Image. Please assign it and it will be fine.

See the theme instruction for details about Featured Post slider http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest/

[Trishah]

Hi Nancy,

What you were missing is that the images you want to change use a different css identifier. Try this instead:

.attachment-featured-slider.wp-post-image {
float: left;
margin: 0 15px 5px 0;
}

[Sakin]

@FictionAddiction: I see that you haven’t added Featured Image in your post that is why there is not images in your slider and respectively align issue. “Check to Disable” is for “Exclude Slider post from Home page posts:”. This will not show the post in slider in the homepage, so once the post is in the slider, it will not show again in the post list. But in your case it’s useless as you are using Static Front Page not the latest post.

[Sakin]

@Sadaf: It depend of the theme you are using. For Catch Everest theme you can add the following CSS to bold the font in Featured Slider.
#main-slider .entry-content { font-weight: bold; }

[Sadaf]

How to make the font Bold and stronger” in featured slider???
I used this is custom css but it did not work
“.featured-text { color: #000; }
.featured-text a.readmore { #000; }”

[Sakin]

@Chaot112: That is demo slider images. You don’t edit core theme files. As these core theme files will be reverted back when you update the theme. To add Featured Post slider see this theme instruction page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution/

[Sakin]

@Chaot112: It’s strange. Then you might need to consider upgrading to pro version and user Featured Image Slider where you can add URL as per your need. The image, text and url are manual entry.
