Hi,
I added 4 pictures (1680×720 px) to the featured post slider (I switched it to image slider before) everything went well. When I looked in the browser, the pictures are not streched as your default pictures do (they do strech to 1980x…)

Where can I make the settings to get the pics stretched?

Thanks

@Claudio: I am telling you is that All Private pages will be visible only to you when you are log in. We will not see it. this is how WordPress Private page/post works. So, we see empty Slider and Featured Content.

About menu, you can create custom menu from “Appearance => Menus” and then add page, post, category, links as per your need to your custom menu. Then assign your menu to Primary menu location from “Appearance => Menus => Manage Location”.

Hi CatchThemes, thanks for your free themes.

I’ve been scratching my head a lot for a problem I encountered in catchbase-featured-content.php.

What I am doing is using the Polylang multi-language plugin. This plugin simply adds a way to create pages or posts which are translations of each other.

The problem is, I’ve currently set the catchbase slideshow and featured-content to show in frontpage only (which is a static page, and has a sibiling translated page).
Now, while the slideshow will show both in the original and in the translated version of the frontpage, the featured content does not.

Looking at the code in catchbase-featured-content.php I could find that this condition is still satisfied in the translated version of the page:

if ( $enablecontent == 'entire-site' || ( ( is_front_page() || ( is_home() && $page_for_posts != $page_id ) ) && $enablecontent == 'homepage' ) ) { // create featured content HTML wrapper }

so I think it’s not a problem with the translated page’s URL not being recognized as front-page.

But going down below, in catchbase_page_content function, the actual WP-Query fails to return the featured content:

if ( !empty( $page_list ) && $number_of_page > 0 ) {
		$get_featured_posts = new WP_Query( array(
                    'posts_per_page' 		=> $number_of_page,
                    'post_type'			=> 'page',
                    'post__in'       		=> $page_list,
                    'orderby'        		=> 'post__in'
                ));

  // $get_featured_posts->have_posts() returns false in the translated page

  // while ( $get_featured_posts->have_posts() ) ...
    // loop for creating and showing featured content HTML..
}

Specifically, have_posts() returns false only in the translated version of the page, and I could not find a reason for this.
I also took a look at catchbase-featured-slider.php because they are similar and this code instead is able to return and show the slideshow content in both the translated and the origianl versions of the pages, but I could still not understand what is going wrong in catchbase-featured-content.php.

I really hope you can help me with this.. I don’t know where else to look for.. maybe this could also turn out into a possible bug fix for Catch Base theme (provided it’s a bug) ?
Thanks a lot!

@Edward: For slider there is not option like specific pages. The options are to Enable Slider either only on Homepage or on Entire site.

But yes, you can disable Header Image in particular page/posts. For that you can edit those page/post and below you page/post editor you will see “Full Frame Options” metabox, where you can click on “Header Featured Image Options”, check “Disable” and then update your page/post.

Is the featured Slider actually fully responsive?

We have currently stopped it from displaying on mobile as it seems not to be responsive..

Can you advise please..

Cheers,
Nick

@Stephanie: You can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box to hide the Featured Post Slider title and excerpt text.
#main-slider .entry-container { display: none; }

But if you choose Featured Image Slider from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options => Select Slider Type” then you can use upload image and link as per your need. If you don’t want title and content then you lave that empty.

[Sakin]

@bigoslesli: Actually if you just want static image then you don’t need to use Featured Slider. You can just disable slider from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options => Enable Slider”.

Then for static header image, you can just add that image from “Appearance => Theme Options => Header Featured Image Options”.

But if you don’t want to use header image and still want to use featured slider image without the arrow, then you can add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box to hide it.
#slider-nav { display: none; }

I would like to have but a single image in the Featured Slider. How do I remove the slide show arrows?

Sorry to ask such dumb questions.

That link seems to be to download an application. The featured slider should be saved to the site now.

[Sakin]

@Francis: I check in your site http://www.fincasabina.com/Wordpress/ but I don’t see you have change to Featured Image Slider. I can still see demo images.

You don’t need to send me screenshot in email. You can just upload screenshot in your site or any photo-sharing site. For example screenshot like this link http://awesomescreenshot.com/09f4mea713

[Francis]

No. I have uploaded images to the website. You asked me to send you screen shots to show you what was going wrong. Can I email them to you?

Let me repeat what the problem is: I have purchased Full Frame Pro.
If I swap from ‘demo’ to ‘Featured Image Slider’ and I have uploaded four images that are of the correct size (1680X720) yet they appears too small and aligned to the left.

Hi Sakin,

Thank you for your email.

I have purchased Full Frame Pro.

If I swap from ‘demo’ to ‘Featured Image Slider’ and I have uploaded four images that are of the correct size (1680X720) yet they appears too small and aligned to the left.

I attach screen shots.

Thank you for your help.

Kind Regards
Francis

Demo

@Jean-Paul: Sorry there is no option to do that. Featured Images are used for Archive/homepage and for slider. As you can just add your featured image in your page/post content editor and it will display it.

But have you tried in “Header Featured Image Options” from your Theme Options panel. There in “Enable Featured Header Image” you can choose “Pages & Posts”.

[Francis]

My uploaded images are the same size as in the “demo” featured slider (i.e. 1680 X 720) , however when I swop to my uploaded images they are smaller than the demo images and placed of the left with space to the right.

@shellfish_tracker: Why don’t you use Featured Image Slider so that you can upload the image, title and link all as per your need. For that just go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options => Featured Content Type” and select “Featured Image Content” then upload image, link, title and content all as per your need.

For more, check out theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-base-pro/

Hello,

I recently purchased Pro to try to solve a problem I’m having. I’d like for the text on my slider to be different from the post text itself. I believe I should be able to do this with Pro, and went in to change the title of the featured image. This didn’t seem to do anything. What am I missing?

[spraggini]

Is it possible to make the featured image on the home page (like the tiger on the example) go all the way to the edges of the display screen? on my wide screen display there are grey borders. i’d like it to go all the way to the edge on wide screens.

[Sakin]

@shellfish_tracker: Yes there are lot and the user mainly likes Catch Base Pro:
1. Featured Slider Type: Here you change select Featured Image Slider or Featured Page Slider or Featured Post Slider or Featured Category Slider.
2. Footer Editor Option
3. Color Options
4. Additional Sidebars
5. Featured Content Type: Here you change select Featured Image Content or Featured Page Content or Featured Post Content or Featured Category Content.
Many more additional featured which is highlighted in Theme Instructions of Catch Base Pro.

[Sakin]

@Leanvdm: In free Catch Base free version, you have option to use only Featured Page Slider which will take featured image, title and text from your page. So, the only way to hide the text in the slider will be to add in the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box:
#feature-slider .entry-container { display: none; }

You might also want to check out Catch Base Pro which has option to use Featured Image Slider, which you can just upload the image as per your need. There are other additional features as well, which is listed in theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-base-pro/

[Sakin]

@shellfish_tracker: Catch Base Free version only have option to use Featured Page slider and this slider take the page title. So, you need to edit the page title to reflect it in you slider. You can use css to hide the title and content, if you need. But for this please share your site URL.

You might want to try Catch Base Pro where you will get Featured Image Slider where you can upload image, write title, content and link (all optional). Read more about it from theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-base-pro/
