Hello Sakin,

i really love your them Catch Box. It is perfect for my primary school! I have a question about the “Featured post slider”. I would like to make it a “Recent post slider”. Is that possible? So that when collegue’s of mine make a new post, it automatically ends up in the ‘Featured post slider’.

Thank you for making this wonderfull theme.

Greetings,

Andreas

@saadghauri: Yes, I am from Catch Themes. Thanks for your appreciation.

I see that you have added the Featured Header image instead of Header Image. If you add the header Image from “Appearance => Header”. Then the css that you have added will work fine. But you have added image from Featured Header Image so in this case, you have to hide the header area by adding in the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

#hgroup-wrap {
    display: none;
}

@images98: Yes you can increase or decrease number of slides though “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Slider Options”. There you can type in Number of Slides.

It will be Featured Post Slider in Free Theme and Featured Slider in Pro and Premium themes.

Is there a way to add a fourth slider?

@Ashkanpasha: It looks like you haven’t added in the post ID. Can you send me the links to your posts that you want to add in the slider then I will tell you the ID that you need to add in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider”

[Sakin]

@Ashkanpasha: You are doing good. I just check in your site and the slider is working fine. To make your clear, the slider only slides after loading the site content. This helps you to load the content faster.

[Sakin]

@saadghauri: You can just add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

.featured-image img, .entry-content img, .comment-content img, .widget img, img.header-image, .author-avatar img, img.wp-post-image {
    box-shadow: none;
}

@oly: If you use Pro version, then for slider you can use Featured Image slider. Featured Image slider allows you to upload the image of any size.

[Sakin]

@electricidee: It would have been easy for me to answer if you have posted your site URL. Looks like you are using Catch Box Free theme. If you see the theme instruction of Catch Box http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-box/, it’s mentioned there that the best size for the featured slider is Width: 644px and Height: 320px.

So, the best use will be adding the featured image of Width: 644px and Height: 320px and you will have all image same. If the image is bigger then the size mentioned it will automatically crop the size but if it is smaller then it will just show the smaller image.

Another, is that if you have just change your theme from other theme then you need to regenerate the thumbnail.

Please Help, Im a beginner and need to fix that, so please help.

Thanks a lot and greetings from Germany!

Ok, sorry I will explain. I am using Catch Everest Pro. It’s a great theme. I want the header image uploaded in wp to link to a page other than the homepage. I am not talking about the featured slider, or the featured header image, but just the custom header (above the slider and menu if no featured header image). I am using a jpeg as the custom header, and I have turned off “show text” in the header. So it is just a pure jpeg on the left (about 700-800 px wide). And the right header sidebar on the right (200 px). Clicking on the header jpeg area in any page takes me back to the homepage, I want it to take me back to the locations page. The URL is not live yet (attorneymott.com), I have created a admin password for you to take a look. I sent the email. Thanks again in advance!

@Sakin

Thank you so much man, you provide great support. How do I enter custom css to remove the grey outline showing up on every image? I’m talking about this code (which I got from the ‘inspect element’ tool in chrome)

media=”all”
.featured-image img, .entry-content img, .comment-content img, .widget img, img.header-image, .author-avatar img, img.wp-post-image {
box-shadow: 0 1px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}

I don’t want there to be a box shadow

@jmott310: Sorry I don’t get it. Do you mean Featured Post Slider. Can you explain it and also send us your site URL.

hey hi how we could have more than 2 sliders on homepage without using featured post slider. I am use catch Everest theme free version.

[cbtoolkit]

Worked perfectly. I should have recognized that.

@saadghauri: Thanks for your questions. You site looks nice. Thanks for using Catch Everest Pro theme.

I would like to decrease the size of the slider from Width: 1140px
Height: 450px to Width: 1140px Height: 250px, how do I do this?
— I think you have already found the solution for this. You just need to use the Featured Image Slider and then you can upload your own custom size images.

Secondly there is too much empty space everywhere, I am being asked to reduce this, how do I do that?
— This is clean and responsive design. So, the spaces are changed as per the screen size. You need to be specific on your question about which space you want to change and in which screen sizes range.

Specifically I would like to reduce the space on home page between home page text, bottom bar and footer. That is, the space after the ‘Microsoft Great Plains), Microsoft dynamics ®CRM and Microsoft Dynamics ® AX (formerly Microsoft Axapta.)’ text ends
— You can adjust the padding in the following CSS and add it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

@media screen and (min-width: 1060px) { 
.home .hentry {
    padding-bottom: 50px;
}
}

@cbtoolkit: Thanks a lot for pointing out the issue in Catch Box Pro Theme. We will fix this issue in upcoming version 2.3. Until the release you have just hide the slider in the blog page by adding the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

.blog #slider {
    display: none;
}

I just updated my CE theme and now the slider is no longer recognizing the second two featured posts. The post slider was working fine before the update. All the suggestions below have been checked and are set. Has anyone found a solution to this issue?

@kirsten0203: Check your site. I am being able to upload theme. I just login to your site then went to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider”, then selected image slider. Then I clicked on “Uploads”. Since you already have images in the media library, then I clicked on “Media Library” and click on “Show” for the image I wanted to add. Then clicked on “Insert into Post”.

I went back to the featured post slider 🙁 so I would not have a broken site. I am disappointed because the whole reason I upgraded was to have the slider without links. I hope there is an easy fix.
