polylang gives you the option to make a copy of each page, the new copy is in the language you chose. the plug in knows which page in English is linked to which page in Hebrew (for example). so far it works great, the prablem starts when i tried to translate the homepage were i got my featured slider and featured content. because the theme build in a way that we change the homepage in theme option the plug-in dosen’t recotnize it and i can’t make a copy of the homepage in Hebrew.

in case what i wrote up dosen’t make sense and my English so bad that you cant understend nothing i put a link that you see the problem right away.

@toruah: I check in your site and you are using Catch Kathmandu Free version. If you want to disable the slider then you can disable it from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options” and then check “Disable” and save changes. But if you want to add in your own post in your slider then see this http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/

Hi

I was wondering if it was possible to edit the message that pops up when you hover the cursor over the Featured Slider image? Right now it says “Permalink to” but could I change it to the image title? Or have it say nothing at all? I still want to keep the link to the post, I just would like to alter the wording.

Here’s a link to my site:

Thanks for your help

@thor: Yes, if you are using Adventurous Pro theme then you will get option to use “Featured Image Slider, Post Slider, Page Slider and Category Slider. But if you are using Free version then you only have option to use Featured Post Slider and Featured Category Slider.

Yes, we have video screencast for Featured Post Slider: http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/
and Featured Image Slider: http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/

Hello,

Tiger pictures are in the slider. For you to change that, you’ll need to go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider”

There in the “Select Slider Type”, you can see Demo Slider selected. There are 4 other options available. Choose any one of them.

If you don’t want the slider than below it in the “Enable Slider” section, check on Disable

If this is unclear, I’ll create a video explaining it. Please let me know. I’ll be creating video regardless of this but might take some time. So, if the instructions above are unclear, let me know so that I’ll create a video quickly.

Thank you!

I LOVE this theme. However, I am going with a green scheme, instead of the blue/gray that was part of the original theme. There are 4 areas I have not been able to change the color. Can you help me with the custom css?

1. Four blue circles at the bottom of the featured posts slider.
2. Bottom border of the featured post slider box.
3. Hover color of the links in the Featured Content boxes (4).
4. Links in recent posts, recent comments, and archives.

I was only successful in changing links in the body of the page, not in the other elements. Thanks so much.

My temporary site is 243.615.myftpupload.com

@lorencowka:
1. Front Page:
a. There is issue after you add in the search. So, you can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

#header-right #header-menu .menu-item-search  { float: right; }
#header-right #header-menu .menu-item-search p { margin: 5px; }

b. You can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box, to reduce the white spaces.

#hgroup.logo-enable.logo-left {
    padding-left: 0;
    padding-top: 5px;
}
#header-right {
    padding-top: 5px;
}
#hgroup-wrap  {
    padding-bottom: 20px;
}

c. The broken link image is yvonnestravel.com/wp-content/themes/catch-kathmandu/images/demo/header-image-1280×400.jpg and it’s from “Appearance => Theme Options => Header Featured Image”. Go there and in “Enable Featured Header Image”, select “Disable” and save changes.

d. You can use Featured Image Slider and upload the image as per your need. See this http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/

2. You haven’t change the color code in the CSS that I gave you. You need to change that color code before adding it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

@nussarthur: If you want to stretch and fit your image then it’s fine, you can just add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

.featured-slider .wp-post-image {
    height: auto;
    width: 100%;
}

[Sakin]

@nussarthur: I check in your site and see that there is slider. Just that the image size is wrong. You have image of size 550px by 313px width. Edit those post and use larger featured images. For example, you can see that the original image you have uploaded that is thecolddeadhand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Papers_pile_350.gif is just width 350px and height 407px.

But our slider width is Width: 976px. So, your image width is not enough so it couldn’t expand it.

[nussarthur]

I disabled photon but now the slider wont show up at all. I made sure to enable it under theme options featured slider as well.

[nussarthur]

I’m using the simple catch theme (thecolddeadhand.com). I use post thumbnail editor to resize my images. I created slider thumbnails for each of my featured images, and they showed up on the homepage slider perfectly. Now for some reason they suddenly are too small for the feature post slider. What happened?

[Sakin]

@Bryan:
1. To center the title, I need to check in your site URL.
2. If you are using page slider then it will take the excerpt content. That will be auto from the content. But you can manually change the excerpt content that shows in slider from Excerpt Box. See this screenshot showing excerpt box http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798330200958/

Also, you can use Featured Image Slider to add in independent image, title, content and links, all optional. See this http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/

@Gerald:
1. You can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box

#homepage-message .left-section {
    text-align: center;
    width: 100%;
}

2. You can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box

#featured-post .entry-title {
    text-align: center;
}

3. This is bit complicated. But I will try. Add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box

.home .site {
    background: none transparent;
}
.home #masthead {
    background-color: #fff;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
}
#main-slider,
#homepage-message,
#main #featured-post {
    margin-bottom: 20px;
}

4. This has already been solved by answer 3

5. You can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box

.no-sidebar-full-width #main {
    padding-left: 0;
    padding-right: 0;
}

6. You can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box

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

@Salome: Please go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options”, then check to “Disable Slider Background Effect” and save change. This will remove that stripe texture feature.

[Michaela]

Hi Sakin,

I realized that the featured image is always blurry, no matter how good the quality of my upload is. Could you please explain and how to change this? This image is pretty much the first impression that readers get (and it’s also visible in the featured post slider), and it looks cheap when it’s blurry.

Cheers!

[Salome]

Hey everyone,

how can I get rid of this stripe texture that is automatically put over my HD pictures in the featured image slider? The Problem is: My high quality HD pictures look much worse and much more like lower quality because of this stripe texture.

Is there a plugin or even an easier way to deal with that so that it just shows the pictures as they are (without stripes over it?

[Sakin]

@TBM: Sorry the free version only have Featured Post Slider option. This slider is created to highlight your post in the slider. So, it will automatically add links to respective post. If you just want image, then you need to use Image Slider, which is there only in Pro version, see this http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/

But for free version you don’t have that option. But if you know the technical details, then you can build child theme and edit the post slider codes.

[MIchael]

I was able to do this without much trouble for the slider but now have been requested to move the featured content to a new position. I can move the featured content just fine, but the I cannot seem to remove it from the original location.

Here is the code im using. Would someone please tell me what I have done wrong…

function remove_featured_content(){
remove_action(‘catchkathmandu_before_main’,’catchkathmandu_homepage_featured_content’,10 );
}

add_action(‘catchkathmandu_main’,’remove_featured_content’);

function move_featured_content(){
remove_action(‘catchkathmandu_before_main’,’catchkathmandu_homepage_featured_content’, 10);
}
add_action(‘catchkathmandu_special_content’,’move_featured_content’);
add_action(‘catchkathmandu_special_content’,’catchkathmandu_homepage_featured_content’);

[TBM]

Hello,
Is there a way to remove or change the slider’s featured image url?
I would prefer just to remove it and when clicking on slider image not to do anything.
I’m using catch everest free theme

Thanks.

@rojtalbot:
1. For homepage headline color, here goes the css:

#homepage-message {
    background-color: #21759b;
    border-color: #1b5f7d;
    color: #fff;
}

2. I don’t get it what you mean. I don’t need any Featured Content in your Homepage. If you are trying to hide the content in your Featured post slider then you can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

#main-slider .entry-container {
    display: none;
}
