@mscserginho: There is no option to add the most popular posts automatically to the slider and recent post in the homepage featured content. For this you need to code new function in your child theme. If you know the technical then you can add it otherwise you can hire a customizer. You can ask for quote at http://catchthemes.com/hire-customizer/

You can add your recent post in your homepage by going to “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage/Frontpage Settings” and check on “Enable Latest Posts”.

You will not loose your setting after purchasing pro theme. If you need help in upgrading to pro theme then we have that service for free.

Thank you, that worked for almost everything again.

I hate to be a pain but the three featured posts header is still black and there is still a white space below the slider.

[Sakin]

For Featured Title font color, you can change the color code and add it in “Appearance => Theme Options -> Custom CSS” box.

.entry-header .entry-title a {
    color: #222222;
}

Fore slider background and button.

.featured-slider .slides {
    background-color: #000;
}
#main-slider .entry-title a,
#main-slider .entry-content  {
    background: transparent;
    color: #fff;
}

For footer:

#footer-sidebar {
    background-color: #000;
}

[zscheimer]

That worked for most of the my issues. I still have a few small issues.

1) The featured content title is black font
2) The slider sides and bottom are white
3) The footer and the footer widget area are white/grey

@zorter: For sub-menu item color, you can add the following Custom CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

#fixed-header-top ul.menu ul { background-color: #fff; }
#fixed-header-top ul.menu ul li a { color: #000; }

For Slider, you cannot add this slider in your sidebar. For sidebar slider you can search for slider plugin at http://wordpress.org/plugins/.

Thanks for upgrading to pro version. You can find detail instruction of slider on http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution-pro/. Now for the slider, first you need to “Select Slider Type” from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options”.

So, if you choose Featured Page Slider or Featured Post slider, you need to add Page or Post ID from which the slider code will take the featured image of those page and post. Similarly if you choose Featured Category Slider, then it will take the latest posts features image from selected category.

Then if you choose Featured Image Slider then it’s an independent slider where you have to upload individual image, title, content and links as per your need.

Modifying the width of the slide is bit complicated as we need to change the width will the responsive design of various screen-size. So, can you tell me your desire width and I will check in the css.

@TruckinTortuga: I see that you are using Catch Evolution Free theme which only have option to use Featured Post Slider which was created to highlight your post. That means, you need to use post and link to post. No, other options. But Pro version have option to use Page Slider, Post Slider, Category Slider and Image Slider. See more about it at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution-pro/

Yes, when you have the latest post added in your slider post. Then you will have duplicate like one in the slide and anther as your latest posts. You can remove that by going to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider” Featured Post Slider Options” and check on “Exclude Slider post from Homepage posts”.

@Karin: Did you check in our Theme Instruction page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest-pro/.

In Catch Everest Pro theme, you have option to select “Post Slider, Page Slider, Category Slider and Image Slider”. So, if you want to add page or post slider then you need to add page or post IDs. For category slider, you need to select category and for image slider, you need to upload the image.

First, go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options” and select the slider type. For example: select “Image Slider”.
Then you will get “Featured Image Slider Options” where you can upload the image. See this screenshot http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329509357/

Thank you Suchi, although I have to admit I still don’t get it. I see that under theme options – featured slider I can change setting for how the existing images moves, timings etc. but not how I actually change the image…??

Michael: my site is http://www.expressionsarttherapy.co.uk, it is the two images that actually comes with the theme to start, the one of mount everest and the one of buddhist wheels that I wish to change to my own images…so not the header above or the images below but the main images.

[Suruchi]

Just go under theme options > featured slider here you will see slider options and featured image slider options this is where you upload new images.

[Sakin]

@pgdll: Ok how did you remove that title, content and link from the slider? As Catch Everest Free theme only have option to add Featured Post slider which will take the post title, excerpt content and links.

[Sakin]

@mark: If you use Featured Post Slider or Featured Page Slider or Featured Category Slider, then it will take the image from page/post and auto crop the image. But if you use Featured Image Slider, you can upload image of any size and it will not crop it.

Thanks for the fix in the typo about Enable Slider. We will fix this in new version.

[mark]

I have had to edit the image size to 976×313 in photoshop as the featured image slider would not edit the picture to 976×313.

Is the featured image size only editable when connected to a post? I’ve read that displaying a image NOT connected to a post will display at its original size.

and

should “featured slider/slider options” “enable side bar” be “enable slider”

This is awesome!!!

I’d love to do the same for footer area 2 as well? that’s where my social’s icons are most likely to go now.

i was also wondering how to hide the shadow boarder from the 3 featured content images below the slider? (the images on the pic are purely examples)

And i’d like to hide the white space between the featured content image’s and the footer.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9222pp5vbqkh4ey/featuedcontent.jpg

then i think i’m just about done!! well for today any way!! kidding!! thanks for the huge help today, this is the first time i’ve built a site and i really appreciate it!!

@Ronald de Hommel: I am not sure about polylang plugin. Can you ask in their support forum. Our user had similar problem in qTranslate plugin. See this

@chris: You can add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box to remove the faint border lines along the slides.
.featured-slider .slides { box-shadow: none; }

You can add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box to add a slightly lighter colored background like in the catch box theme

#main-slider {
    background-color: #555;
    padding: 10px;
}

@marcella: Sorry this theme doesn’t have option to add horizontal nav in the footer. About the slider title color, I have already replied you in http://catchthemes.com/support-forum/topic/featured-post-slider-dosnt-work/

[Sakin]

@ViraNatura: You have to change all the settings not only with CSS. So, you better you Hire a customizer at http://catchthemes.com/hire-customizer/.

You can upload smaller Header image. For featured post slider, you can upload smaller height images in your post.
For featured slider font sizes.

.entry-header .entry-title { font-size: 18px; }
#main-slider .entry-content { font-size: 13px; }

@ianroach: If you are using Catch Everest Pro theme then simply use Featured Image Slider and then you can upload the image of any size you want.

[Sakin]
