oh yes just to give you more info, regarding my previous post. My custom CSS now looks like this:

.lang-item {
display: inline;
}

p { line-height: 1.425; margin-bottom: 1em; }

#slider-nav { display: none; }

#site-logo, hgroup.with-logo { padding-top: 0; }
#hgroup-wrap { padding-top: 10px; }
#hgroup-wrap { padding-bottom: 10px; }
#hgroup-wrap { padding-left: 170px; }
#hgroup-wrap { padding-right: 10px; }

@media screen and (min-width: 961px) {
#hgroup-wrap { padding-top: 10px; }
#hgroup-wrap { padding-bottom: 10px; }
#hgroup-wrap { padding-left: 170px; }
#hgroup-wrap { padding-right: 10px; }
}

#hgroup-wrap a:hover img,
.featured-image a:hover img,
.entry-content a:hover img,
.comment-content a:hover img,
.widget a:hover img,
a:hover img.header-image,
.author-avatar a:hover img,
a:hover img.wp-post-image {
opacity: 1;
}
#hgroup-wrap .lang-item img { display: inline; }

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
.header-sidebar { padding-top: 0; }
}

@Mgx: I see that you are using Free version of Catch Evolution, where you can only use Featured Post Slider. This slider is created to highlight you post. So, you cannot remove that link. Instead if you use Catch Evolution Pro version, there is Featured Image slider where you can upload your image without or with link. It’s optional.

About the post in the homepage, it is the default way that WordPress uses in Blog. It will link to the post. To remove that link it’s bit difficult. You might need to hire developer to work for you on this customization.

I will guide you the process.
1. Build child theme of Catch Evolution Theme
2. Then copy content.php file in your child theme and remove the link from the title
3. For slider you can create functions.php file and copy catchevolution_sliders() function and edit that in your child theme.

Thank you that fixed it. Also, I’m having problems with the slider. Under Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider it asks to put in the Post ID to use as the slider. I made the image the exact size it told me, 644px by 320px and I put the correct Post ID. But all it shows on the homepage is title of the post but not the image. What am I doing wrong?

[Sakin]

@FleurdeSante: Sorry I don’t get it what you mean. Check our theme instruction page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution-pro/ where you will see details on how to add featured Image slider. This will replace the stock images.

[Sakin]

@shamwow: Featured Image gives you an option to upload the image of you own choice where we do not control it’s layout. It depend on the size of the image you upload it. But featured page slider cuts the image in equal size of 1140px width and 450px height. If you want same size image in the Image Slider, then you need to upload all the image with the same dimension.

Hi,

I have the same problem as Elisabetta – the featured slider has been working fine for months but all of a sudden it’s stuck on the first post instead of scrolling through all 7. What do I need to do to debug this please?

@guy.shachar76: You most of the question will be solved if you check in the Theme Instruction of Catch Evolution Pro at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution-pro/

1. How to remove the rotating pictures that comes with the theme (house & flower)
— The rotating pictures is called Featured Slider and you can check in theme instruction for more details.

2. How to decrease header height
— You can decrease the header height by reducing the Header Top Margin and Header Bottom Margin from “Appearance => Theme Options => Header Options”.

3. how to modify the comment backround (it’s gray)
— You can change the color code as per you need and then you can add the following CSS from “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#respond { background-color: #fff; }

4. How to change the menu and title to left to right.
I don’t get this. Menu and title is at left only. Post in your site URl and explain where you want to move your menu and title.

Hi Sakin

So I have installed the Polylang plugin and after reading up have figured out how to use it.

But there are some issues I need help with.

1: Firstly in responsive mode the Polylang widget drops down and the header area is way too big.
I just need the language selection to be at the bottom of the header right sidebar.

2: Secondly how do I get the actual logo I am using to remain in the same position more or less when the site is viewed on a mobile device? I don’t want it jumping around all over the place.

I know that I have set a #hgroup-wrap { padding-left: 170px; } in the #site-logo part of my custom CSS. This will obviously affect the responsive view too but I need to keep the look the same in responsive, sure sizing changed to fit screen but not a huge white gap under the header section.

I have attached my custom CSS to help you:
.lang-item {
display: inline;
}

p { line-height: 1.425; margin-bottom: 1em; }

#slider-nav { display: none; }

#site-logo, hgroup.with-logo { padding-top: 0; }
#hgroup-wrap { padding-top: 10px; }
#hgroup-wrap { padding-bottom: 10px; }
#hgroup-wrap { padding-left: 170px; }
#hgroup-wrap { padding-right: 10px; }

#hgroup-wrap a:hover img,
.featured-image a:hover img,
.entry-content a:hover img,
.comment-content a:hover img,
.widget a:hover img,
a:hover img.header-image,
.author-avatar a:hover img,
a:hover img.wp-post-image {
opacity: 1;
}

I have read extensive but need to know how to do this, thanks a lot Sakin, much appreciated.

@rgidon: Featured Images cannot will not be displayed on post with Catch Box Theme. This featured image is used for Featured Post Slider and for archive pages to show Image and excerpt text. In post, you can add image in the post content itself.

Hello Sakin, Thank you for your time!!!

There is still one problem with that code.

Finally, the margin I was looking for was this:

/* For Width */
div.layout-978 { width: 1100px; }

#content.col8 { width: 800px; }
#sidebar.col4 { width: 250px; }

Those margins are correct, That’s what I want!! :), but now I need to increase width of slider box and then center it. Also, the leyend of the featured image below the slider box does not fit correctly, exceeding margins of the slider box.

What I need is the slider box fits exactly below the logo image (to the left) and the search box (to the right). Would be great that everything fit within the margins that I chose 🙂

I’m leaving the code in my site in order that you can take a look of the problem later.

Thank you so much Sakin!!!
Regards

@Betty: It’s complicated. To position the slider in header you need to use action hooks. You need to build child theme and then add the following php code in your child theme functions.php file

/**
 * Display slider
 */
function catchevolution_slider_display() {
	global $post, $wp_query, $catchevolution_options_settings;
    
	// get data value from theme options
	$options = $catchevolution_options_settings;
	$enableslider = $options[ 'enable_slider' ];
	$sliderselect = $options[ 'select_slider_type' ];
	$sliderlayout = $options[ 'select_slider_layout' ];
	
	// Front page displays in Reading Settings
	$page_on_front = get_option('page_on_front') ;
	$page_for_posts = get_option('page_for_posts'); 	
		
	// Get Page ID outside Loop
	$page_id = $wp_query->get_queried_object_id();	
	
	if ( ( $enableslider == 'enable-slider-allpage' ) || ( ( is_front_page() || ( is_home() && $page_id != $page_for_posts ) ) && $enableslider == 'enable-slider-homepage' ) ) :
	
		// Select Slider
		if ( $sliderselect =='image-slider' && !empty( $options[ 'featured_image_slider_image' ] ) && $sliderlayout =='fullwidth' && function_exists( 'catchevolution_imagesliders' ) ) {
			add_action( 'catchevolution_before_contentsidebarwrap', 'catchevolution_imagesliders', 15 );
		}	
		elseif ( $sliderselect =='post-slider' && !empty( $options[ 'featured_slider' ] ) && $sliderlayout =='fullwidth' && function_exists( 'catchevolution_sliders' ) ) {
			add_action( 'catchevolution_after_headercontent', 'catchevolution_sliders', 15 );
		}
		elseif ( $sliderselect =='page-slider' && !empty( $options[ 'featured_slider_page' ] ) && $sliderlayout =='fullwidth' && function_exists( 'catchevolution_page_sliders' ) ) {
			add_action( 'catchevolution_after_headercontent', 'catchevolution_page_sliders', 15 );
		}		
		elseif ( $sliderselect =='category-slider' && !empty( $options[ 'slider_category' ] ) && $sliderlayout =='fullwidth' && function_exists( 'catchevolution_category_sliders' ) ) {
			add_action( 'catchevolution_after_headercontent', 'catchevolution_category_sliders', 15 );
		}		
		elseif ( $sliderselect =='image-slider' && !empty( $options[ 'featured_image_slider_image' ] ) && function_exists( 'catchevolution_imagesliders' ) ) {
			add_action( 'catchevolution_content', 'catchevolution_imagesliders', 10 );
		}
		elseif ( $sliderselect == 'post-slider' && !empty( $options[ 'featured_slider' ] ) && function_exists( 'catchevolution_sliders' ) ) {
			add_action( 'catchevolution_content', 'catchevolution_sliders', 10 );
		}
		elseif ( $sliderselect =='page-slider' && !empty( $options[ 'featured_slider_page' ] ) && function_exists( 'catchevolution_page_sliders' ) ) {
			add_action( 'catchevolution_content', 'catchevolution_page_sliders', 10 );
		}
		elseif ( $sliderselect == 'category-slider' && !empty( $options[ 'slider_category' ] ) && function_exists( 'catchevolution_category_sliders' ) ) {
			add_action( 'catchevolution_content', 'catchevolution_category_sliders', 10 );
		}
		else {
			add_action( 'catchevolution_content', 'catchevolution_default_sliders', 10 );
		}
		
	endif;

@davidyoungs: Thanks for your appreciation. You can add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box to remove just title in Featured Post Slider.
#main-slider .entry-header { display: none; }

[Sakin]

@suchi: If you are using Free Version of Catch Everest then you have to use Featured Post Slider which take the featured image of the post that is 1140p width and 450px height. BUt if you have pro version, you can use Image Slider where you can upload the image of any size you like as it’s independent image slider.

IN free version can you try uploading the smaller size image in the featured image of post. Maybe that will also work. I haven’t tried it.

[Sakin]

@yoshimi233: If you are talking about the Featured Slider and Homepage Headline. Then you can add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#homepage-message { margin-top: 0; }

[blackkeys]

To give you a little more info, below is all the CSS I have used. The first line of it, I just put in now to see if it helps for mobile devices, it didn’t make any difference.

img { max-width: 100%; }

p { line-height: 1.425; margin-bottom: 1em; }

#slider-nav { display: none; }

#site-logo, hgroup.with-logo { padding-top: 0; }
#hgroup-wrap { padding-top: 10px; }
#hgroup-wrap { padding-bottom: 10px; }
#hgroup-wrap { padding-left: 170px; }
#hgroup-wrap { padding-right: 10px; }

#hgroup-wrap a:hover img,
.featured-image a:hover img,
.entry-content a:hover img,
.comment-content a:hover img,
.widget a:hover img,
a:hover img.header-image,
.author-avatar a:hover img,
a:hover img.wp-post-image {
opacity: 1;}

[Sakin]

@jp_grennier: But our slider also take the entire content area. Are you talking about the height then your slider is talking the height of your image. See your image it too large http://jpgrennier.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/sstest1.jpg . You can just upload the cropped small image and it will be fine.

But if you want the php wrapper. It’s not a problem. But I guess it has no use. See how to add it

// Adding New Slider Code
function catcheverest_child_slider() {
echo '<div id="main-slider" class="container">';
	//Add in your code in betwwen this bracket
	echo do_shortcode( '[SlideDeck2 id=281 ress=1]' );
echo '</div>';
	
}
add_action( 'catcheverest_before_main', 'catcheverest_child_slider', 10 );

I’ve disabled the slider. I selected featured images for the posts so you can see the picture on the home page. If I choose a featured image on my computer it then replaces the header when you click on that blog post – which i do not like. It doesn’t do this if I pick a featured image from my phone. So I guess I can work around it by always picking the featured image from my phone instead of my computer but I’m hoping there is a way to fix it.

Also, I don’t understand why only the last blog post is showing up on my home page. They all used to show up and now only the last one is showing up. Any help or advice would be super awesome. Thank you!

[Sakin]

@rgbarsanti: Simply add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
.featured { height: 250px; }

[rgbarsanti]

Both Featured Images currently in use are 976×320.

Sakin:

Site: http://www.mitchell-engineering.com

All our information is contained within Pages; we don’t have or use Posts. The only posts that exist were created to allow the featured post slider, but they do not contain any information. Yet, they will appear in a search result if the search phrase matches (or contains) the post’s name.

A workaround that I’m currently using is to use ‘Images Slider’ as the type of slider for the Featured Slider, and then edit the Status of all Posts from Published to Draft.

But, is there a more general way to exclude Posts from a search?

Thanks.
