@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.

@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; }

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;}

@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!

@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.

[Sakin]

@rgbarsanti: Can you upload the featured image of the size 976×320 and let me know it. Then I will check in what can be done.

[rgbarsanti]

MY site URL is http://granadamusicpr.com/

I’d like to just reduce the height. Right now I believe the dimensions are 976×320. I’d like to knock it down to 976×250 (it just feels too tall right now for my own personal preferences).

I am using the free version. I tried uploading different sized Featured Images, but the actual Slider stayed the same, still 976×320, leaving a grey background area to fill the rest of the space.

That did not work, but when I add “float left” to #hgroup-wrap img, .featured-image img, .entry-content img, img.size-full, img.size-large, img.wp-post-image {

it worked, but the top slider also floated left. I want to keep the top slider centered. We are close, any other ideas?

[Sakin]

@rgbarsanti: Can you post in your site URL and then let me know what is the size that you are trying to accomplish. If you are using Pro version of the theme then you have Featured Image Slider, where you can upload the image size of your own choice and it will be re-sized automatically.

[Sakin]

@Lulu: You can simply find it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider”. See this screenshot http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798330638741/

Here’s my current (child) functions.php

<?php
// Removing the Default Slider
function unhook_catcheverest_functions() {

	remove_action( 'catcheverest_before_main', 'catcheverest_slider_display', 10 );
}
add_action( 'init', 'unhook_catcheverest_functions' );

// Adding New Slider Code
function catcheverest_child_slider() {
	//Add in your code in betwwen this bracket
	echo do_shortcode( '[SlideDeck2 id=281 ress=1]' );
	
}
add_action( 'catcheverest_before_main', 'catcheverest_child_slider', 10 );

[jp_grennier]

I see why the child theme makes much more sense now. I’m still having one issue though, I can’t seem to get new slider code to work with the div you specified as I don’t really know php. Right now the new slider takes up the entire main content area and is too big. Could you help with this? Thanks again Sakin.

@Lorena Poling:
GAPS: That’s not the coding issue but the image issue. You can try adding the same image design issue. See these image http://www.tulegacy.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/ELDERLY2.png and http://www.tulegacy.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/BOTON-EDUCATION3.png where elderly2 is up and that is why it is not aligned.

Slider box you can remove the background by adding in the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
.featured-slider .slides { background-color: transparent; }

To remove box in Homepage headline, you need to add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

#homepage-message {
    background-color: transparent;
    border: none;
}

You are talking about light blue color. But don’t have any light blue color in your site.

To add search in top right, you need to go to “Appearance => Widgets” and then add search widget in Header Right Sidebar.

Yes, too confused with your question. For this level of customization, you need to hire customizer.

[Sakin]

@mmglisci: Looks like you are totally confused with the WordPress system. In WordPress we have two option for Homepage(Front page displays) that you can set from “Settings => Readings”
1. Your latest posts, where all your post will be displayed as blog.
2. A Static “Front page”, where you can set static page in homepage.

So, when I check in your site today I see that you have latest posts mode. So, there is no home page and there is not way to edit that page and it will not be in your page list.

Also when you build custom menu, you can add and remove the menu item you like. See this article http://catchthemes.com/blog/custom-menus-wordpress-themes/

I am not sure what are you talking about the image below the menu. Do you mean the Featured Post Slider. Then for that also you need to create post and add featured image in that post. Then you need to ID of that post in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider”. See the theme instruction page http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/simple-catch/ for more details

Worked great, now the slider is fine, thx lot.

Hello,

Here is the screenshot:
http://www.tulegacy.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Tu-screen.png
or you can see the whole thing on the website is: http://www.tulegacy.org
I added the code that you gave me and the results are:

GAPS:
The colored buttons are a little closer together, but if you see on the screenshot, the last one is not aligned with the others. Can we make the gap between the buttons smaller, and have the buttons aligned?

TEXT BOXES:

a) SLIDER BOX: The frame disappeared but the box has is still filled with a light blue color. We are adding othe pictures that will be 1140px long so they should cover the color, but can we still get rid of the color fill just in case the pictures don’t have the exact dimentions needed?

b) Need to disappear box under the feature Slider (it is between the Featured slider and the text that I entered in ”Homepage Headline Options”).
* By the way, can I change the color and font on the Homepage Headline Options”?

c) Need to remove box frame and change the fill light blue color to white where the text is in “Homepage Headline Options” (“TU Legacy will bring together people that care…etc “)

d) WHOLE FRAME in HOME PAGE: There is a light blue frame that is all around the Home page but is cut at the very top on the right and left side.
Why is that? Can we have a complete frame or get rid of it completely?

e) IF we’d need the website to use the whole screen, is it possible and do you think it’s a good idea?

f) How can I add a SEARCH box at the top right of the Home page (and probably every page?).

Lots of questions, but I hope they are not too confusing for you.
Thank you SO MUCH!

@Stefing: I am not talking about the file. I am talking about the theme that you will have in “Appearance => Themes” from your WordPress Dashboard. I mean change the theme.
