@Davide: I see that you are using Catch Everest Pro theme and you have issue adding in the Featured Slider.

To add Featured Slider. Go to “Appearance => Featured Slider”. Then you will see this type of Slider Options https://pinterest.com/pin/548594798329509357/.

So, now you can choose which type of slider you want. For easy option, just select the “Image Slider” and then in “Featured Image Slider Options”. Just upload the image and details as per your need.

For more about the slider. See the theme instruction at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest-pro/

Hi Sakin, I’m having the same problem with the title text on the slider… no background and no left padding.

I used your custom CSS, and it fixed the problem, but I thought updating my theme should have fixed it without resorting to a custom CSS fix (I have theme version 1.3 installed). Am I overlooking something?

@jackwagon: I don’t get it what you mean. You can enable it back.

Sorry – ad an addendum. The front page post category setting is showing up as “disabled”. My website is http://www.shadesofpale.com

[jackwagon]

My exclude slider posts from home page check box is not working. My slider has post writing underneath. How can I get rid of it?

I created a “blank” post so there would be no writing but that didn’t work either b/c when I activated the blog I had 3 empty blog posts.

Is it possible to have a slider image w/o a post showing up on the blog?
if I have to put in content in the post, how can i keep that content from showing up underneath my slider. I’ve checked and unchecked the exclude box in the slider options several times and is not doing anything.

tx so much

Make sure yoru post is “published”.

@flexprofinance: You should have posted your site URL and I can look at it.

Are you talking about the 3 images under the slider. That is called Homepage Featured Content. You can change that.
1. Click on “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage Featured Content Options” from your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Then upload the image and content as per your need and click on save changes

[Sakin]

@Anja0625: It’s because of the following CSS in your Custom CSS box. Remove the following css from “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

#main-slider .entry-container {height:400px;}
#main-slider .entry-header {height:400px;}

@vickygeek: In Catch Everest Free theme there is not image slider where you have just add single image or multiple images. In Catch Everest Pro theme, there is option to upload the image, through Image Slier. Just upload only 1 image and there won’t be slider. See theme instruction for more details http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest-pro/

In Catch Everest Free theme, there is Featured Post Slider. Yes, you can add only one post as Featured Post Slider, so it will only have one image.

Follow the instruction below to add the Featured Post Slider.
1. First create the Post and don’t forget to add in the Featured Image in the post as this image is used in the slider. To add featured image see this http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image

2. Then get the ID of the post. When you edit your post or write a post, you will see the id in your browser address bar. You can also find the Post is in All Posts section. But if you cannot find it then you can use this plugin to view it http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/catch-ids/

3. Then go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider”. Add in the post id.

[Sakin]

@Anja0625: You have option to set different image for individual post if you have Catch Everest Pro Theme. There is option to select images from
slider: 1140px by 450px
featured: 690px by 462px
Original Full Image

To center the copyright line in the footer, you can add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#site-generator .copyright {
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
}

Oh I though you were using the Pro version. But when I check in, I see that you are using Catch Everest Free Version. Note: You are not allowed to change the footer credit Theme: Catch Everest. This is only the means of recognition that we received for providing the free theme and free support. So, if you want to remove the footer credit, just upgrade to Catch Everest Pro and edit the footer text through easy to use Footer Editor in Theme Options panel.

For more information about Catch Everest Pro. See this http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest-pro/

@1902: It should work if you have followed the step.
Try this. Just go to “Appearance => Featured Post Slider => Add Slider Options”. Then add the ID 1902 in Featured Slider Post #1 box and 102 in Featured Slider Post #1. Then save it.

If you cannot get the slider, then try disabling plugin one by one. If it still doesn’t work then let me know it. I will contact though email and check in your server.

@evag: Can you send me your site URL?

[Sakin]

@Raminder: I see that you have added the following CSS in “Custom CSS” box.

.page .entry-title {
    display: none;
}

Replace the above css with the following

.page .entry-header {
    display: none;
}

There is no option to add in the footer black space. You can add widget in Footer Widgets areas and sidebars.

But since you are using Catch Everest Pro theme, there is small trick. First add the social icon widgets in sidebar or footer widgets. Then get the view source and add the html code in the footer editor.

[Sakin]

@Sebastiaan.Horn: In Simple Catch Free theme, we only have featured post slier where it will link to post. If you don’t want link and have your own custom text, then you have to use “Image Slider”. To use image slider, you need to upgrade to Simple Catch Pro theme.

See this for additional features in Simple Catch Pro theme http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/simple-catch-pro/

@Sakin I have decided to take your advice and leave it as it is. It seems fine like that 🙂

However I do have more questions! 🙁 (Sorry!)

On this page http://soton-fifc.co.uk/company1/ I would like to remove the white space between the ‘University of Southampton’ banner and the menu. I have some code in my CSS which I thought would do the job…but it didnt.

Secondly, in the footer, I have added the social media links in the sidebar footer. However can I place this in the actual footer? Do I need a HTML shortcode to do it somehow?

Thank you!

P.S. I am liking the pro version!

[Sakin]

@svoelker: I don’t know which slider you are using. There is option for post slider, image slider and others.

If you are using post slider, then you can adjust the amount of text from the excerpt box in your post. See this http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/excerpts/

If you are using Image Slider, then you can change the content from the slider options itself.

If you want to adjust the width of the slider text box then you can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

/* For Screen Size above 960px */
@media screen and (min-width: 960px) {
.featured-text {
    width: 80%;
}
}

[Sakin]

@Raminder: Thanks for your appreciation. If you are satisfied with the code inside your editor. That is fine. You don’t need to replace with the css.

Let me know what you want to do. Then just create that and let me know where to add the border and details. Then I will send you the css.

[Raminder]

@Sakin I have added this in the text editor (not CSS)

<div style=”width: 300px; height: 280px; border: 10px double grey;”>
<p style=”padding-left: 5px;”><span style=”font-size: 14px;”><span style=”font-family: georgia, palatino;”>Join our mailing list to receive updates, application hints and improve your industry knowledge!</span></span></p>
[contact-form-7 id="481" title="Subscribe to our mailing list!"]
</div>

However I would like to take the <div> out and create a border in the CSS (if that is possible)

I think I shall take the plunge and buy the Pro (The main reason is because of the support I have got already – It is much appreciated!)

[Sakin]

@Raminder: About your join Now. I don’t know how you have added and also let me know what exactly you want.

About the Slider, Sorry I didn’t see that you are using Catch Everest Free theme. The page slider and image slider both are there only in pro version. See the additional feature in pro version at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest-pro
