@amandamarie0808: I see that you are using Catch Kathmandu Free theme. Which only have option to use “Post Slider or Category Slider”, these two slider are created to highlight your post in the slider. It takes your post title, excerpt and featured image and will link to post.
To change that to page, you need to Page Slider and to link to any pages/custom URL then you need to use Featured Image Slider. But the option to use Page or Image slider is only there in Catch Kathmandu Pro version. So, your solution will be to upgrade to pro version.
I am creating questfusion.com
Currently it shows 3 images on the top slider and there is text (hyperlink) on each image that says the post title. However, I would like to have the images go to the pages instead of the posts when people click the images.
Is there a way to specifically point each post image to a certain url?
Even if I changed every image to point to questfusion.com it would be better than it is now.
Thanks for any help!
Hi,
When using IE or Firefox in the new Windows 8 platform, the featured slider text and scroll arrows appear as transparent white boxes. Why are windows 8 internet browsers having a difficult time displaying this text? is it a browser update issue or an operating system issue?
It works fine in all browsers on my MAC and Windows 7 PC.

@Mogens: Yes, I check in your site and see that you have customize the core css file style.css. You shouldn’t edit/add any files inside core theme directory ‘catch-evolution-pro’. If you need to edit or add any extra css then you can either add it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box or build child theme and add it in your child theme style.css. For child theme read http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/
So, please restore the original theme and then add customization as per the instruction. What is see in your cutomized style.css. There is missing closing bracket in
#slider-wrap .featured-text .featured-text-wrap .slider-title {
font-weight: bold;
It should be as
#slider-wrap .featured-text .featured-text-wrap .slider-title {
font-weight: bold;
}
thankes man your the best!
sorry for beeing so nagging, but there is a way that when the site is watched in hebrew the “Homepage Headline Button” will move to the left and the post title on the Featured Slider will be on the right?
@Kim:
1. If you don’t like the slider, then you can disable slider from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options” and then check the option “Disable” in Enable Sidebar.
2. Removing widget from the Header Right Sidebar will show the default widgets “Search and Social”. So, if you just want Search and remove social then you can go to “Appearance => Widgets” and then just add Search Widgets in Header Right Sidebar. But if you want to completely disable Header Right Sidebar then you can go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Header Right Options” and then check option “Disable Header Right Sidebar” and save changes.
Note: I don’t get it why are you adding you logo in “Header Featured Image”. Then best place to add logo is from “Appearance => Theme Options => Header Options”. There you need to add in your logo URL in and uncheck disable Disable Header Logo. Header Featured Image should be used only if you want Logo and additional header banner.
@adamsh: Yes, it works with WPML and has wpml-config.xml file. We have compatibility certify from WMPL http://wpml.org/theme/catch-kathmandu-pro/
But we haven’t added support for this plugin. So, I don’t think it will work properly. You might need to build child theme. You can ready about child theme and download sample child theme from http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/ and then add the following code in your child theme functions.php file.
/**

HI, i’m having some problems with the size of the pics putted into the post slider on the homepage.. in the instructions i have read the size should be 1600×600 px and i ve done this but still it does not show the pics the way i should.. there are border on the right and left side so the pictures don’t cover the entire horizontal surface.
Some issues?
I changed the color of all elements of the theme including the site background. This has caused the space between the “Footer Menu” and the “Homepage Featured Content Options” to be white and the “top border” of the “Footer Menu” to remain BLUE, the default color of the theme.
I am using following colors:
Default Color Scheme: Light
Menus Color Options:
Footer Menu Color Options:
Menu Background Color: #84927D
Menu Text Color: #fff
Menu Hover & Active Background Color: #3F532B
Menu Hover & Active Text Color: #fff
Sub-Menu Background Color: #84927D
Sub-Menu Text Color: #fff
The same color options are used for the Primary and the Secondary Menus.
Slider Color Options:

Content Background Color: #9aaa92
Footer Background Sidebar Color: #9aaa92
Footer Background Color: #9aaa92
Title Color: #222
Title Hover Color: #e6e8ea
Meta Description Color: #757575

Sidebar Widget Title Color: #404040
Sidebar Widget Text Color: #600606
Sidebar Widget Link Color: #757575
Scroll Up Background Color: #000
Scroll Up Text Color: #fff
I do not see how to attach the image of the homepage to this forum. To see the issue I am including my development web site address dev.qualityitgroup.com
I would appreciate to let me know how to resolve this issue without modifying code.
Thank you,
Zia

Hello Sakin,
I have reported this problem to WMPL, but because every string is translated they can not help me.
The problem is that every string that uses the first item does not appear translated.
The strings are:
[catchkathmandu_options][featured_image_slider_title]1
[catchkathmandu_options][featured_image_slider_link]1
[catchkathmandu_options][homepage_featured_content]1
[catchkathmandu_options][homepage_featured_title]1
[catchkathmandu_options][homepage_featured_url]1
Please can you tell me if this is my problem?
Thank you
Kind regards
Delfim
@harish: In Adventurous theme, There is Featured Post slider which takes your post featured image size of Width: 1600px and Height: 600px, which is mentioned in http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/adventurous/
But if you want to decrease the height then you need to upload the image with width 1600px and height smaller then 600px as per your need in the featured image and then slider take that height.
@alemoy: Yes, you can use the css to make it smaller. For example, you can add the following css in your “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box, if you want to make your width to 980px.
@media screen and (min-width: 1152px) {

How are you, am filing to change the text aligned to the images on the homepage slider of Catch Kathmandu theme, may you please help?
@dalozano17: Catch Evolution Free version only have option to user Featured Post Slider, which is created to highlight you post image as the slider image.
If you check out the theme instruction in http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution/. It’s clearly mentioned.
1. First you need to create post and then add featured image in your post ( http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-wordpress-postpage/ )
2. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider” in your WordPress Dashboard
3. To add Posts in the slider, click on “Featured Post Slider Options” and simply insert the ID numbers for posts in the boxes, one post ID number in each box
4. Click on Save button
See this screenshot http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329984427/
I do not have the Featured Image Slider option at all in Evolution Free, do I have to upgrade to modify it?
Hi Sakin
I’m using your catch theme pro and I have a white line under the feature image.
I tried all the css code you provided to others with the same issue, however they didn’t work for me.
my website is ; beta.shenneljordan.com
thanks an advance for your help
I used the following css codes ;
#homepage-message { background-color: #423031; color: #DF7401; }
.page .entry-title { display: none; }
.entry-header .entry-title { font-size: 18px; }
#main-slider .entry-content { font-size: 13px; }
#site-generator .site-info {
padding: 10px 0;
}
#masthead { padding-bottom: 0px; }
h1#site-title { padding-top: 0px; }
h2#site-description { padding-bottom: 0px; }
.form-allowed-tags{
display:none;
}
#hgroup-wrap, #site-logo { padding: 0 }
#hgroup-wrap { position: relative; }
#hgroup.with-logo {
left: 5%;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;

.home #main { padding-top: 30px; }
@media screen and (min-width: 0px) {
#homepage-message span {
font-size: 30px;
}
}
@Mike: Yes, you change it. Catch Flames free theme has option to use Featured Page Slider to highlight you page.
1. First you need to create a Page and then add Featured Image (http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-wordpress-postpage/) to the Page.
2. Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider” from your WordPress Dashboard
3. Under Slider Options Select Slider Type as “Featured Page Slider”. Here you can also change the number of slides, slider effects and timing
4. Then under Featured Page Slider Options, select the pages and save changes.
Is it possible to change the structure of the featured image on the blog post page to be next to the text instead of above it? Getting an image that’s 800 pixels wide but only 100-200 tall is pretty hard. I don’t like them to be huge either so I limit the height as much as I can.
I love using the featured image for the widget sections too. It’s hard to make the header size and the widget size work in the same image.
I also don’t really understand the difference between these options. On the post itself I’ve disabled the images, but if I customize code for one of them in the CSS or php or something to make this work on the blog listing page that works too.

@Tim: The slide in Catch Kathmandu Pro and Adventurous Pro uses same script. The design changes as per the theme. So, this is unique. I don’t understand why you can to swap. There is no easy way to do that.
I hope you check in Featured Image Slider http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/ , Featured Post Slider http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/ and theme instructions http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/adventurous-pro/
Can you explain in detail please.
