@Lorena Poling: You can add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

/* Remove Slider Box */
.featured-slider .slides { box-shadow: none; }

/* Increase the width of Featured Column */
@media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
    #featured-post .post {
        margin-left: 0;
        width: 33.33%;
    }
}

I don’t understand your request of point 4. Maybe you can show me the screenshot explaining that.

What did you ment by activate default ? – I found the file – catcheverest-theme-options-defaults.php, but cant see any 2013 ? Do I just have to update it ?

@jp_grennier: First, you shouldn’t edit any core theme files such as functions.php, style.css and so on. As all your edit will be reverted back when you update your theme to latest version. So, if you want to edit any core theme file then you have to build child theme and work on it there.

You have changed the structure so it will be difficult the restore the css. As the divs has been moved.

To build child theme you can just create folder in your themes directory and name it like catch-everest-child or anything as per your wish. Then first you need to create style.css file and then add the code like this https://gist.github.com/catchthemes/7483260/raw/0d66c5a1c43d188e1e548500c976b3f1bf28cfed/style.css

And then create functions.php file where you need to add code to remove the default slider and replace it with your new slider code. Here is the sample code that you need to add in your functions.php file

<?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 '<div id="main-slider" class="container">New Slider Code</div>';
	
}
add_action( 'catcheverest_before_main', 'catcheverest_child_slider', 10 );

@Stefing: Yes you can active default theme file twenty thirteen and then delete Catch Everest and then reinstall it.

[Sakin]

@rawb_in: For Catch Everest Free theme footer widgets, you need to build child theme and just copy footer.php from Catch Everest theme to your child theme and the replace the code
get_sidebar( 'footer' );
with the following:
if ( is_front_page() || is_home() ) : get_sidebar( 'footer' ); endif;

Hello yesterday you gave me advice how to restore the core settings to all the core files edited by updating the theme – http://catchthemes.com/topic/slider-not-working/ . Np but it is the latest version so will it be good if i use the way explained here – to activate another theme, uninstall Catch Everest, and then reinstall it manual ?

[Sakin]

@rbrek: Cheers 🙂

[rbrek]

Yes Sakin. I now have enough posts and the “older posts” link is showing up. I also realized I had to un-check the part about excluding the slider, not check it. Yes, I am a Newbie.:) I’m learning though. Everything is working well now. Thank you so much for all your help!

[Sakin]

@thivi: Yes that will enable you for support but I don’t recommend you changing that. Also when you want to edit core theme file, you need to build child theme and edit it. As all the core theme files edited directly will be reverted back to original once you update the theme.

[thivi]

Tell u what I renabled all plugins one by one and now none seem to conflict with the slider. And BTW Sakin will I be able to add a different license information in the footer keeping the credit to simple catch intact? Thank u so much for ur kind help!

[Sakin]

@Stefing: I think you didn’t read instruction clearly. You are not supposed to edit any core theme files and replacing the image from FTP in a bad method and you will loose your image once you update the theme. As all the core files edited will be reverted back when you update the theme.

I see that you are using Catch Everest Free theme. In our free themes,you only have option to user Featured Post Slider from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider”. For this, you first need to create a post and add the Featured Image in your post. As this featured image will be used in slider image. Then you need to get the Post ID and add it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Post Slider Options”. See this screenshot on how the IDs have been added http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329984427/

@thivi: I check in your site and found that there is issue with then plugin. For now, I have just deactivate most of the plugins and then slider is working fine. So, it is sure there is plugin conflict. To check which plugin is conflicting. Activate the plugin one by one and check in your site. So, you will fine which plugin activation will effect the slider.

Also, my featured image slider is not working anymore. My site is http://tokuwcmaastricht.com/

[thivi]

what i meant by diffrent post ids were in response to u saying that i hav tthe same post id in every fiels. But I have diffrent post ids, i.e 44,41,51. But the slider doesn’t display the featured image image from these posts. It just displays the featured image of one post for all the other posts and the title doesn’t change either. The caption changes though

[Sakin]

@thivi: That is just a sample ID on the basis of your post. You can add the ID as you required. But it has to be post id not page id. Ok I will email you.

[thivi]

no I have different post ids. would u mail me at [email protected], so that i can give u my login info for u to get into my site and check?

[Sakin]

@thivi: When I check in your site. Your slider is working fine. I think you have same post ID in all three Featured Post ID. Try adding different IDS. For example in
#1 Featured Post ID: 55
#2 Featured Post ID: 51
#3 Featured Post ID: 41

[thivi]

@Sakin, Sorry for removing the footer, I wasn’t aware of what u said. And I reinstated the theme but still it doesn’t work. The images and the title remain static while the captions change.

[Sakin]

@thivi: I see that you have customize the Theme and that is why the scripts are not working. Please revert back to the original theme and it will work. Also you have changed the footer copyright in Simple Catch Free theme. It is not recommended to change it in Free version as this is the only reason we provide free themes and free support. Please add back.

If you want to edit footer then use Simple Catch Pro theme where you have easy to edit Footer Editor in Theme Options panel. Read more about simple catch pro theme at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/simple-catch-pro

[Sakin]

@rbrek: Still not enough post, as in your “Settings => Reading” Blog pages show at most.

So, you have total 11 Post, but 1 is featured slider which will not be counted. So, only 10. Try reducing in the Reading settings or increase the number of posts.
