Hi Sakin–really sorry to be a pain, am just trying to work all of the issues out of the site and am hoping you can get back to me soon? I have figured out many answers to the queries above. my website is http://www.fantonphotography.com and the only remaining questions I have are:
1. How can I remove the darkened box that remains on “home”? I am ok with the boxes going dark as you hover over them with your mouse, but I would like the menu bar to be all one color when someone isn’t hovering over it.
2. I can’t seem to figure out how to change the color of the text in the footer (where it has copyright, my email and phone) can you please help me with this
3. I need to remove the “title” area above the banner in footer area on (above where all of the badges that say featured on are located)
4. I would like to trim the border slightly between the featured content and the featured slider is this possible
5. Do you have any advice about adding individual images (with links) so that they appear horizontally in the same footer area one (as opposed to a static jpg banner that I uploaded in its place.)
Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.
Great, it worked. Now is there a way to show this page before the actual Frontpage? I cannot define the intro page the “frontpage” because i want to use the slider and featured content on the actual “frontpage” just like it is now.
Just wanna say: YOU GUYS RULE!! 🙂

Hi there!
Well, I updated WordPress today (to Version 4.1.2), and imediately after it was done, my slider became a single image, it shows no navigation dots under it and it is not rotating the featured posts I selected.
I double-checked the IDs and configuration (it is set to 4 slides), I have even disabled and re-enabled the entire slider, no luck. Any ideas on what could be wrong? Some problem at my end or could it be some incompatibility issue with the new wp version?
Thank you everyone 🙂
Hi again-two quick questions I’m hoping you can help me with
1. I would like to add an additional image to the home page. I would like it to be only one image and run the entire length of the featured content/featured slider. I’m fine with it being in the footer if necessary or in some space below the featured content. Can you please advise the best way to do this?
2. Can you please help me trim the footer so that it isn’t so tall? It looks quite big and I would like it smaller.
@Denys: Thanks for your access and cooperation. I check in your site and found that you have large image as background image and also 8 slider image which was making your site heavy and the slider code checks height after the slider is fully loaded. So, it take time to clear the height. So, I need to set data-cycle-loader="true" which will start slider after 2 images is loaded in slider. Then I see that you were using child theme. So, I simply added in the following code in your child theme functions.php file.
/**
* Add slider.
*
* @uses action hook catchbase_before_content.
*
* @since Catch Base 1.0
*/
function catchbase_featured_slider() {
global $post, $wp_query;
//catchbase_flush_transients();
// get data value from options
$options = catchbase_get_theme_options();
$enableslider = $options['featured_slider_option'];
$sliderselect = $options['featured_slider_type'];
// Get Page ID outside Loop
$page_id = $wp_query->get_queried_object_id();
// Front page displays in Reading Settings
$page_on_front = get_option('page_on_front') ;
$page_for_posts = get_option('page_for_posts');
if ( $enableslider == 'entire-site' || ( ( is_front_page() || ( is_home() && $page_for_posts != $page_id ) ) && $enableslider == 'homepage' ) ) {
if( ( !$catchbase_featured_slider = get_transient( 'catchbase_featured_slider' ) ) ) {
echo '<!-- refreshing cache -->';
$catchbase_featured_slider = '
<section id="feature-slider">
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="cycle-slideshow"
data-cycle-log="false"
data-cycle-pause-on-hover="true"
data-cycle-swipe="true"

data-cycle-auto-height=container
data-cycle-fx="'. $options['featured_slide_transition_effect'] .'"
data-cycle-speed="'. $options['featured_slide_transition_length'] * 1000 .'"

>
<!-- prev/next links -->
<div class="cycle-prev"></div>

// Select Slider
if ( $sliderselect == 'demo-featured-slider' && function_exists( 'catchbase_demo_slider' ) ) {
$catchbase_featured_slider .= catchbase_demo_slider( $options );
}
else if ( $sliderselect == 'featured-post-slider' && function_exists( 'catchbase_post_slider' ) ) {
$catchbase_featured_slider .= catchbase_post_slider( $options );
}
elseif ( $sliderselect == 'featured-page-slider' && function_exists( 'catchbase_page_slider' ) ) {
$catchbase_featured_slider .= catchbase_page_slider( $options );
}
elseif ( $sliderselect == 'featured-category-slider' && function_exists( 'catchbase_category_slider' ) ) {
$catchbase_featured_slider .= catchbase_category_slider( $options );
}
elseif ( $sliderselect == 'featured-image-slider' && function_exists( 'catchbase_image_slider' ) ) {
$catchbase_featured_slider .= catchbase_image_slider( $options );
}
$catchbase_featured_slider .= '
</div><!-- .cycle-slideshow -->
</div><!-- .wrapper -->
</section><!-- #feature-slider -->';
set_transient( 'catchbase_featured_slider', $catchbase_featured_slider, 86940 );
}
echo $catchbase_featured_slider;
}
}
Note: for child theme and sample child theme you can refer to http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/
@Sebastian: For that you need to build child theme and then add the following code in your child theme functions.php file. For child theme check out http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/
/**
* Remove Slider cahce in qTranslate-X plugin
*/
if ( defined( 'QTX_VERSION' ) ) {
delete_transient( 'fullframe_featured_slider' );
}
@Carolina: You can hide that by adding in the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box:
#slider-wrap .featured-text { display: none; }
Hello, I’m using ‘Post Slider’ option. The homepage shows the sliders (from the featured image) and the excerpt content but not the title (the name of the post I suppose).
I don’t know if its important or not but just in case… the website is translated to two languages, I’m using mqTranslate plugin.
Thanks.
Hi –
I would like to remove the page name from the featured slider image. I see the CSS for other themes but not for Catch Responsive. Is it possible to do this in the Free version?
Hey,
i moved to the final release domain http://www.darryllsmith.com
Now when you change the site language with the flag buttons, the preview text in the slider area is not changing language. Need help 🙂
Bless
Sebastian
@innova: In Catch Kathmandu Pro theme there are 4 different slider type, that is Page Slider, Post Slider, Category Slider and Image Slider. So, which slider you are working on. If you use post slider then it will take the featured image, title and excerpt content of that post. See this http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/. If you use the image slider, then you can add in image, title and content as per your need. See this http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/. So, which ever you choose, it will be like demo slider.
For more check out theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/
On Instruction Sheet:
Layout Options:
Default Layout: Option to choose from i. Three Columns(Secondary Sidebar, Content, Primary Sidebar),ii. Primary Sidebar,content (Right Sidebar), iii. Content, Primary Content (Left Sidebar) and iv. No Sidebar (Content Width)
Archive Content Layout: Option to choose from Show Excerpt and Show Full Content (No Featured Image)
Single Page/Post Image Layout: Option to disable/enable Single Single Page/Post Image Layout or Select Large, Medium, Full Size or Slider Image Size as Single Page/Post Image
I cannot find Archive Content Layout setting anywhere in layout settings. There is no place where I can choose “Show Excerpt” and “Show Full Content.” Could you explain where to find this?
Also, I asked this in another thread, but I cannot figure out how to make my featured image show up as thumbnail next to post excerpt? I have scoured all the settings. Featured images on posts are working in the header but not as thumbnails. There are no thumbnails at all. I assumed this would happen automatically? I have “regenerated” thumbnails already to debug.
Also…another issue I just ran into is I’ve created an “All Blog Entires” page, placed it in my primary menu, and in theme settings I have set “All Blog Entries” as my Posts Page (And made “Home Page” my static page on front page), yet only one of my posts (one of the two dummy posts I’ve created so far) WAS showing up. And NOW, in the last hour of playing around with stuff, NO posts show up on “All Blog Entries”. I get a 404 error. I have double checked that I have chosen “All blog posts” as my Posts page in settings. Any and all posts created should show up on the Posts page correct?

Thank you in advance for your help!
@Julia: Did you add in Featured Image in your post? You need to add that. Check this screencast http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/
@butters11: yes in pro version, you have option to select slider type as “Featured Image Slider” where you can upload image and link to anywhere you like. You can see theme instruction page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-responsive-pro/#featured-slider
Yes, same with featured content. You can choose “Featured Image Content” and do it as you like. You can see theme instruction page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-responsive-pro/#featured-content
I’m in the process of building my first site and am witnessing a homepage load problem. The site is not public yet so let me explain. My home page is static one column and consists of a small logo, no background, a slider with 4 featured images (jpegs 50-116K), a text post followed by a 4-song JPlayer (MP3s). When I refresh the homepage the first featured image comes up immediately but content from lower on the page temporarily appears partially underneath the image, distorting the page badly. After a few seconds the page updates and the text and audio player move down the page to their proper place.
The problem is intermittent and seems worse after clearing the cache or making significant changes to the page. I use Godaddy’s Managed WordPress hosting and the system speed seems excellent.
Any ideas what might be causing this?
Hey,
is there a way to make an intro page without the menu, header etc.?
There is no “page template” dropdown showing on my system..
How can I translate my whole site?
Also for my “Home” page, i would like that it does not display the page itself… Just Sliders and featured content is what i want to show there.
Bless
Sebastian
@leslie: I see that you are using qTranlsate X plugin and we haven’t made this theme compatible with that plugin. This theme is compatible with WPML and Polylang plugin. We are in the process of making it compatible with qTranlsate X plugin in next version update. For, now you need to build child theme. You can download sample child theme from http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/ and then add the following code in your child theme functions.php file.
/**
* Template for Clearing qtranslatex Invalid Cache
*/
function catchkathmandu_qtranslatex_invalidcache() {
delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_post_sliders' );
delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_page_sliders' );
delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_category_sliders' );
delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_image_sliders' );
delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_homepage_headline' );
delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_featured_content' );
delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_footer_content' );
delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_footercode' );
delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_featured_image' );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'catchkathmandu_qtranslatex_invalidcache' );
When French is chosen, slider text remains in English.
