@speedie: To link to page, you need to use Featured Page Slider instead of Featured Post Slider. This option is there only in Catch Everest Pro version. Check out cool features in Catch Everest Pro at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest-pro/

[Sakin]

@cbtoolkit: Can I take a look at your site?

[Sakin]

@Bill Pagonas: If you are using Simple Catch Pro theme and you want your latest post to go in the slider, then you must use “Featured Category Slider”.

To use featured category slider,
1. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options”. Then in “Select Slider Type”, you need to select “Featured Category Slider”.
2. After you select the “Featured Category Slider”. You need to select the category from “Featured Category Slider Options”. If you want from all category then you can select multiple category.

@Marianne: Please share your site URL when posting message. Are you using Simple Catch Free Theme? Then you can disable Slider Background Effect from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Slider Effect Options” in your WordPress Dashboard.

Thanks for the reply, I have been away so I apologise for the delay!

It is very important that the featured post slider function is still enabled on the homepage. Is there really no way this can be achieved at the same time as having a sidebar? Seems like quite a negative for such an impressive theme!?…

[Sakin]

@Yago: Do you mean you want to change the Homepage Slider image and the Featured Content Image.

To change Homepage Featured Post Slider and Homepage Featured Content. See the theme instruction http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest/ . You can check “How to Add Featured Post Slider?” and “Homepage Featured Content Options” section in the Theme Instruction page.

Excellent, thank you, that worked perfectly. Just curious, is there anyway to have it moved next to the slider featured images on the right?

[Sakin]

@kdhutto1: Cheers 🙂

[kdhutto1]

Thank you! Once again you’ve solved the problem!

@alessandra: Fist you are not allowed to remove the footer credit link from any free theme. It’s the only source of recognition for free theme and support. But if you like to change or remove it then you need to upgrade to Catch Everest Pro theme, there you have Footer Editor Options to change the footer text. You can see more details about Catch Everest Pro at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest-pro/

About the slider, all our free themes comes with Featured Post Slider. This slider is created to highlight your Post. So, you don’t have option to remove the link. If you are developer then you can adjust the function by build the child theme. But if you want easy option, then you can use “Image Slider” where you can just upload your image, title, content, link all optional. But this option is only there in Pro version. See this screenshot https://pinterest.com/pin/548594798329509357/

@Trishah: You code looks like just replace that
<?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?> with

<?php if( has_post_thumbnail() ):?>
	<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'catchbox' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark">
		<?php the_post_thumbnail('featured-slider'); ?>
	</a>
<?php endif; ?>

then you need to check in those post has featured image or not. If those post don’t have featured image then it will not display the image. See this for featured image http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image

@kdhutto1: About your slider, if you have one long title and another short title, then you will have this issue. We cannot make the height fixed due to responsive design as it need to adjust as per the screen size. So, here what you can do is. For the post that has long title, you can shorten the content through post excerpt box. You can just add the few words only in the excerpt box. This can help you give more control of the text. See this for Excerpt Box: http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/excerpts/

Same with the menu, we cannot make that as we don’t know how long will be your menu. You can try increasing the padding of the menu. For example, in the following css I have increase the padding left and right to 54px. If you like that then you can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

#branding ul.menu a {
    padding: 0 54px;
}

@nicolet531: If you use the post slider in Catch Box, it will take your Featured Image from the post. If the image is higher then Width: 644px and Height: 320px, then it will crop to Width: 644px and Height: 320px. If it is lower then this size, then it will show you your original size.

But you have flexibility to use or own image size if you are using Featured Image Slider.

The Colon (:) is the separator between then title and excerpt content of the post. If you want to remove that, then you have to add in the custom css to hide it.

@jackwagon: You have blocked my IP. So, I am not being able to access it. So, I assume you are using Simple Catch Free theme and I am going to give you css as per that.

You can simply add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
.featured-text { display: none; }

[cbtoolkit]

@jackwagon.

sakin gave me the answer to this awhile back. You need to use CSS. It should be.
#slider-wrap .featured-text { display: none; }

He can check me on that.

Sakin –
Regarding post #11352. Thank you for getting back to me. I would like to get rid of of the text (coming from the post content) that is appearing underneath my featured slider on the home page. (talks about ingredients). All I want is the photographs, no text. Not sure how to get rid of it.

I thought I could get rid of it by checking off the box in theme options> featured slider> featured post slider > add slider options > exclude slider posts from home page posts box, but nothing happens when I check it or uncheck it. The text still remains.

to view the problem please go to http://www.shadesofpale.com

I can get rid of the text by publishing a post for the slider with no writing. As soon as I enable the blog, it looks horrible. This leaves me with an empty published post in the blog, so this does not work.

How can I get rid of the text underneath my featured slider in the home page?
