I have it working in my free version but I have an issue as well.
First go to appearance / Customize / Featured Slider Options / Feature slider type
In the “Select Slider Type” pulldown menu switch from “Demo Featured Slider” to “Feature Page Slider”. Then select the page/post you want to feature.

Then go to the page/post you selected and set the “featured image” to the image you want to use for that slider.

The issue I am having is that it uses the first few lines of text from that page and I am trying to figure out how to customize the text on the slider so it does not use the text from the page as the description on the slider or if it can use a shorter piece of it. It is using about 5 lines of text which is much longer than what the demo shows.

Does the featured slider work in the free version? I have tried for some time to figure it out but I can’t find any place to put the text or get the selected pages to show up in the slider. I have assigned featured images to each page but the when I switch from demo to featured page slider the slider just disappears.

@michaelaterndrup: Yes, you can. Check out theme instructions for Catch Flames free theme at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-flames/

You can get Featured Page Slider in Free version. So, first you need to create page and add in Featured Image in your page. Then go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options”, in Select Slider Type check “Featured Page Slider”. Then you can select your pages in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Featured Page Slider Options”.

@tscpgraphics:
Header Featured Image and Featured Page Slider is two different things.

1. Header Featured Image:
— It is controlled from “Appearance => Header”. There you can upload image for Header Image. You can disable it or enable in various section by selecting option in “Enable Featured Header Image on”. Further, you can disable it in any particular page/post from “Catchresposnive Options” in your page/post editor.

2. Featured Page Slider:
— This is the sliding image that you see in our demo site http://catchthemes.com/demo/catch-responsive/. This is controlled through “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Option => Featured Slider Type”, where you can select “Featured Page Slider” and select the pages which you want to show as sliding image.

[Sakin]

@tscpgraphics: I don’t see slider in your site. I see that you have added in Header Featured Image from “Appearance => Header”.

But for the slider in Catch Responsive Free theme, first you need to create page and add featured image in that page. Check this http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-wordpress-postpage/ for adding featured image in your page.

Then you need to go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options => Featured Slider Type”, then select “Featured Page Slider” and Select the pages which you want to show in slider.

[Sakin]

@PeripheralVision: You can just go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options => Featured Slider Type”, and select “Featured Page Slider”, then select the page in Featured Page # 1, #2, #3 and so on which you want to show as slider. This will replace the demo slider.

For more information, check out Full Frame Theme instructions at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/full-frame/

[Sakin]

@sweetacres: You can see in our demo the Slider at http://catchthemes.com/demo/catchbox/. It’s same, the only difference is that your featured image in the slider post is small. It should be at 644px width and 320px height. So, please upload the bigger image.

But if you don’t want slider text at all then you can add in the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box:
#slider-wrap .featured-text { display: none; }

Hey there,

I’ve just built a website using the Full Frame theme but have a question on the slider.

Can I customize the demo version?

I like it and would prefer to edit it rather than switch to featured page.

Thanks

Hi,

im using the catch base theme without the featured content slider. Yet, on my three column homepage i would like to place a slider (i am using the Huge IT Slider plugin) which spans the three columns and is placed right below the menu. I thought i could do this by placin shortcode in the promotion headline but that didnt work. Is there a way to accomplish this? Or can i use featured images for the slider but not display them on the content pages?

Thanks in advance

hi,
i would remove the lightbox Featured Slide the description when I go over it with the mouse.
I also turned off both the description and the various links but is always the option to highlight the link when I go on with mouse.
I would like to disable it.

I added the bbpress login module in the header. I’d like to be able to center it and limit how big it expands (it’s fine that it’s responsive, but I’d like to stop it from expanding to take up the entire space between the Site title on Left and Search box on Right)

I’m copy and pasting the header.php file from my child theme:

<?php
/**

*
* Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <div id=”main”>

@allene1218: That is called “Featured Page Slider” and you can add your own slider image, text and content. For that first you need to create page and add in Featured image in your page. Then go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options => Featured Slider Type” and select “Featured Page Slider” and then you can just select the pages where you have added in featured image. Now, it will display you page title, content and featured image.

If you want to disable the slider completely then go to “”Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options => Featured Slider Settings” and in Enable Slider on, you need to choose “Disabled” and save change.

But if you just want to hide the text in the slider, then you can add the following css in “Appearance => Customize => Theme Options => Custom CSS Options” box:
#feature-slider .entry-container { display: none; }

[Sakin]

@nakulsachdeva: I was confused as you used Catch Everest Pro support forum for Full Frame Free theme. Full Frame Free theme support forum is that http://catchthemes.com/support-forum/forum/full-frame-free/

That disable Toggle option is there in Pro version, you can see the list of additional features at theme instructions for pro version at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/full-frame-pro/

But in free version, you can disable that toggle button and show header fixed only for big screens with resolution above 1100px. For that you can add the following css in “Appearance => Customize => Theme Options => Custom CSS Options” box:

@media screen and (min-width: 1101px) {
    .site { padding-top: 178px; }
    #feature-slider, #header-featured-image { margin-top: 0; }
    .site #masthead { display: block; opacity: 1 !important; }
    #header-toggle { display: none; }
}

[Sakin]

@webtussi: Yes, you can enable slider in all pages. For that, just go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options => Featured Slider Settings”, Select “Entire Site” in “Enable Slider on” option and click on “Save & Publish”,

For Header image, you can control all the settings from “Appearance => Customize => Header Image”. Don’t forgot to check in “Enable Featured Header Image on” option. Sorry there is no option to add text in the header image. You can upload image with the text on it.

[webtussi]

Hi,

I would like to have changing headerpics on every side below home.

Since I could not enable the slider on pages below home the IdividualHeaderFeatured Image is the right thing to do that, right?

As far as I understand, you can upload different pics there and let them show of by random.

Is there a possibility to add text or to do settings as offered in the featured slider?

[stonecropsister]

Hi,
My site is StonecropSister.com. I downloaded the theme yesterday, and had no issues with defining 4 posts and their featured images for the slider.
Today I added a new post.
On the main page, the header has my header image, and my slider images are showing up ok, including the featured image of the newest post.
but when I click into that post, it is now showing the featured image of that post as the header image.
what am I doing wrong. I have looked at the other posts, and they look identical in the settings.

thanks,
Nancy

Hi Sakin,

I want to reduce the size of the slider on ‘Full Frame’ after viewing other support forums I have taken your previous advise and added the following to the custom css. but nothing has happened. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

/* For Screen size minimum 769px */
@media screen and (min-width: 769px) {
#main-slider .featured-img {
float: center;
width: 75%;
}
}
Thanks in advance
Ita

@franktan: I see that you are using Catch Box Free theme, where the recommended featured image size in Width: 644px and Height: 320px. See the theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-box/. This slider in Feature Post Slider with Content width.

But if you upgrade to Pro version, you will get option to make the slider full width of your site and also get option to choose from “Featured Image slider, Featured Page slider, Featured Post slider, Featured Category slider. In Full Width slider, the recommended size is Width: 980px and Height: 400px. But if you use Featured Image Slider, height can be any you like. For more see the theme instructions of Catch Box Pro theme at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-box-pro/

[franktan]

Hi,

What is the image size that i need to upload into the feature image under post in order to fit the whole featured slider post?

my website is fullhuahotel.com. tq

[Sakin]

@michellebergmann: To make the slider image 100% with, you can make it stretch by adding in the following css:

.featured-slider .slides img {
    height: auto;
    width: 100%;
}
