@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”.

@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/

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.

hi!
My Site is https://thomas-dahringer.de
http://thomas-dahringer.de has a password, because
I don’t want that everyone is looking at the page now,
because i must work a few days more on my site for releasing.

My question is, why is the Featured Post Slider taking the
images from the http server on port 80 and not from the https
server on port 443?
thanks

Theme Footer has been restored as described in earlier post. I do understand.

I do not understand your message about the featured post slider. Are you suggesting I copy the code you provided and add/insert this into my existing child theme functions.php then edit this code removing the two (2) tag references to “Permalink to”? I did this and it did not work so I must not be clear about your instructions.

[Sakin]

@tkabe: I don’t get it what you mean. You don’t need to request to upgrade to pro version. You can simple purchase the theme from http://catchthemes.com/themes/catch-everest-pro/ and if you need help is installation. Then you can request in http://catchthemes.com/contact-us/

To remove the permalink to in your Featured Post Slide, just open your functions.php file in your child theme and copy the following code and edit it.

/**

 *
 * @uses catcheverest_header action to add it in the header

function catcheverest_post_sliders() { 
	//delete_transient( 'catcheverest_post_sliders' );

Note: Please restore the Theme footer or upgrade to Pro version. I hope you understand.

[Sakin]

@jcudak: Yes pro version has option to choose Featured Image Slider where you wan upload independent image, test and links as per your need. You don’t need coding experience.

Your slider options will look like this http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329509357/ and you can follow the instructions mentioned at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/

Hi there!
It seems as we have similar problems.
We’ve installed the Everest-Theme today and have changed several issues on our page.
To let the Slider work, we’ve created posts instead of sites. Everything works –
BUT NOT THE SLIDER! Eventhough we’ve added the post-IDs into the ‘Featured Post Slider Options’ – it just shows the first out of four post-Sliders. Even clicking on the arrows does not work.
HELP!
Thanks a million in advance!

You can just add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#slider-wrap .featured-text {
visibility: hidden;
}

Hi Sakin, I am currently working on my sliders and the above CSS has been very helpful, thanks for that. I posted my first slider, 644×320, it shows perfectly fine on an iPad but not on my 11″ screen, i.e. the picture is not wide enough. Are the sliders supposed to be responsive? What can I do to get the pictures to work on any screen size?
My site is cinnamonearth.com.

Many thanks!
Jackie

[Sakin]

@astra202: Yes, first you need to create post with featured image. See this on how to add Featured image http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329948788/

Then you need to add the post ID in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider”. See this screenshot http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329984427/

For free theme you only have option to use post slider but if you are in pro then you have more slider option like independent image slider, page slider, post slider and category slider to choose from.

Also check our theme instructions page.

Hey Sakin,

I am using the Free Catch Everest theme and I am following all the instructions possible to change the Everest slider picture with my own picture but does not work. I have post with Featured Image and I am trying to add in the Featured Post Slider but it does not get added or something, it is not working. Is there a better way to change the slider picture?

Thanks
Astra

[Zoran]

Hi Sakin
I build child theme. Configuration are little changed but works. I test first all on my local computer.
Beside created style.css, I copied content.php to folder simple-catch-pro-child and changed what you suggest me. I also copied function.php to same folder and changed
/* We’ll be using post thumbnails for custom features images on posts under blog category.
*/
set_post_thumbnail_size( 170, 170 );

// Add Simple Catch Pro’s custom image sizes
add_image_size( ‘featured’, 170, 170, true); // uses on homepage featured image
add_image_size( ‘slider’, 976, 313, true); // uses on Featured Slider on Homepage Header

Pictures are really smaller but I can`t resize frame about pictures.

@ozbods2: I see that you are using Post Slider in Catch Evolution Free Theme. You have added 2 posts. But in those post you haven’t added “Featured Image”. So, please add featured image in your post startherap-ease.co.uk/newsite/test/ and startherap-ease.co.uk/newsite/test2/ and it will work fine. So, after you upload the image in those post you need to set one image as “Featured Image”. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329948788/

[Sakin]

@Kenneth: I see all your slider post have 3 lines of text. Which is fine and no need to change it. But look at the featured images of those posts have difference sizes.

Your 1st and 3rd posts featured image is fine with 644×320. Bur your 2nd and 4th is smaller with 600×320. So, it is showing issue. So, change the featured image of 2nd and 4th and it will be fine.
