Hi,
I’m just getting used to this theme, but I’ve gotten pretty far in a short time. I have set up a featured image for one of my pages and made the page featured for my slider. The text it shows is the page title and then the subheader is the text of my page. I’d like to be able to edit the text that shows on the photo to make it more engaging without changing the page title which goes into my menu bar. Any thoughts?
Thanks so much!
@Naomi: You need to create more pages. So, that you can add in more image as one page will have one featured image. Featured Page Slider will link to page if you want independent image then you need to use Featured Image Slier which is there only in Catch Base Pro theme. See more info about Catch Base Pro at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-base-pro/
Hi Sakin
I am using Catch Base. I can’t make the slider function work: I seem to have only “featured page” and “demo” options. When I use “featured page,” I get the title and site content, along with the featured image.
I just want a few featured images, without page information (or without being part of a page) for my slider. How do I make that work?
I am using the free version of Catch Base.
Thanks for your help!
@Leanvdm: For Catch Base Free theme slider, check out theme instructions at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-base/#featured-slider
You can see that in free version, you have option to replace that demo slider with Page Slider. For that you need to go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options => Select Slider Type” and select “Featured Page Slider”. Then you you can select pages in Featured Page #1, Featured Page #2, Featured Page #3 and Featured Page #1. If you want more then 4, then you need to change the number in “No of Slides”. After you change the number you need to refresh your customizer then it will show you more page selector. So, it will take the selected page featured image. So, if you add 4 pages, then it will show 4 sliding image and so on.
@fan: Ok then add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box:
#slider-wrap .featured-text { display: none; }
Hi, I have been battling for hours to try and change the slider images. I don’t have the theme options tab on my toolbar. Where would I then change it? I have seen if I add a featured image to the page it shows that image if I select slider image. But it only allows one featured image so I have no idea how to add more images to the slider.
I don’t have the option of adding any IDs anywhere. All I have is:
Appearance = customize = featured slider options
then under that there are two subcategories:
Featured slider settings and featured slider type. And under neither of them there is an option to add more images.
Please help.
I’m sorry, I meant the bottom part of the featured picture slider it’s a transparent shadow and shows the post title and the order of slides in dots.
I’d like to hide all that and just have pictures transform in each other like the demo page does
@jamesremy: I just check in your site and the slider and featured content is working fine.
Hi there, I’ve lost my featured content and homepage slider today and I don’t know how to get it back. When I enable the featured slider for the entire site, it shows up, but not when only for the homepage. I’m using catch everest.

@erin: That tiger images are from The Featured Slider. By default, Demo Featured Slider will be loaded and will show that tigers sliding.
In Adventurous Free theme, you have Featured Slider type as “Post Slider or Category Slider. So, first you need to create Post and assign featured image in your post. Then go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options” and in “Select Slider Type”, you can select either Post Slider or Category Slider. If you choose post slider, then you need to add in Post ID in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Features Post Slider Options”. See this video screencast http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/ and if you choose category slider, then you need to select the category from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Features Category Slider Options”.

Note: In pro version you have more features, for that check out theme instruction of adventurous pr at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/adventurous-pro/
I’m using Catch evolution, how do I remove the grey border on the featured slider?
Hi, I’m using Catch Kathmandu Pro for a site (http://nas-sites.org/test/) and have discovered that the slider won’t move. I thought upgrading to Pro would solve that problem, but apparently not. I’ve unplugged all the plugins I can, and it hasn’t helped. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

@Josue Salazar: You shouldn’t edit/add any files inside core theme folder ‘catch-flames’. As all these edits will be reverted back to original when you update or upgrade the theme.
The slider you see in Catch Flames theme is the demo images. In Catch Flames free theme, there is option to change this demo images with your Page Slider images. For that, first you need to create pages and assign featured image in those pages. For featured image, check this http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-wordpress-postpage/. Then, you need to go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options”, there in “Select Slider Type” you need to check in “Featured Page Slider”. Then you will see Featured Page Slider options box below, there you need to select the pages and save changes. For more check our theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-flames/
But if you upgrade to Catch Flames Pro, you will have option to change that demo slider to “Page Slider or Post Slider or Category Slider or Independent Image Slider. To know more about additional featured in Pro version, check out theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-flames-pro/
I want to put images in the featured slider, but I just want images rotating, no description no links, no title. I tried going into the FTP and search for the images at are located in: “/wp-content/themes/catch-flames/images/demo”, so I add one but the slider didn´t change.
Please can someone tell what I´m doing wrong and how can I do it right
@Tammy: Are you using Full Frame Free version.
If you want to remove it then you can go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options => Featured Slider Settings” and in “Enable Slider on”, you need to select “Disabled”.
But if you want to replace that with your own images. Then in Free version you have option to replace that Demo Slider Image with “Featured Page Slider. For then you can go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider Options => Featured Slider Type” and select “Featured Page Slider”. Then select the pages which you want to show as slider image. This is will take Featured image, title and excerpt text of that pages you have select. That’s why don’t forget to assign Featured Image http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-wordpress-postpage/. For more check out theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/full-frame/
Note: You have option to use Image Slider or Post Slider or Category Slider or Page Slider in Pro version. There are other additional features in Pro version. You will find the list of additional features in theme instructions page of pro version at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/full-frame-pro/
Hello I am trying to design a website for one of our organizations domains. I am using Catch Base free. The site is a tribute site for deceased veterans. I am using the featured slider option to have a slide show of some of Veterans who have passed. I am getting lettering on the slide which I would like to remove. How can I remove this content?
@Cyril:
1. You can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box:
#slider .slider-title { color: #aaa; font-weight: bold; }
2. This cannot be done with custom css. So, you might want to build child theme and edit slider function. Hum, first let’s try new CSS3, where we will hide : and add -. Can you try adding in the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box:
.featured-text-wrap .slider-title:after {
background-color: #ddd;
content: '';
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 10px;
height: 1px;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 10px;
}
.featured-text-wrap .sep {
display: none;
}
Hi,
i have two questions about modifications in slider featured text.
1 – how can I add some css only on slider title ?
I tried using a code you gave in that forum :
#slider-wrap .featured-text span { color: #aaa; font-weight: bold; }
… but it applies both to title AND excerpt.
2 – How can I simply replace the “:” between title and excerpt bay a “-” ?
Thanks
That fixed it! The plugin ‘Map Images’ (Version 1.4.2) was causing the issue. Disabled the plugin and reset the the ‘Excerpt/More Tag’ setting and it fixed the featured slider.
Thanks for the quick and simple fix Sankin. This theme and your support is awesome!
@Troy: To add more slider image, you just need to go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options” and in “Number of Slides” you can increase the number.
Sorry there is no option to add image under the slider.
