Thanks I updated to 1.2.1 and emptied cache and that has solved the menu thing.

The featured slider is still showing the inner white block on the title – will I need to rebuild the featured post sliders from scratch?

@Riverola: I don’t know what are you talking about. It should work fine. Yes sometime, your browser will give your cached version of site. In that case clear your browser cache and check it.

@ages802: If you search in this forum. You will find the answer. The figure Mount Everest and Nepal images are Featured Slider. In the Free Catch Everest Theme, you have option to add in Featured Post Slider. But in Pro version it have more options like Featured Image Slider, Post Slider, Page Slider, category slider. You can check the additional featured in catch Everest Pro theme at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest-pro/

See this forum post to see how to add Featured Post Slider in Catch Everest Theme http://catchthemes.com/support-forum/topic/how-to-remove-the-theme-post-3-and-slider-photos/

@nsalagados:
1. I know that this issue has been raised over and over again, I have tried everything I could do (as a newbie), and read pretty much everyhting related to thumbnails on this forum, but nothing worked : on my front page, how can I align my post thumbnails to the left of the post excerpts ??? is there a simple way to do that with the custom CSS ??
— At present, Catch Everest Pro theme doesn’t have that layout. Only Simple Catch Pro theme has that Layout.
But you can try little trick like this. Just Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Layout Options” and select “Full Content Display” in content layout and also select “Disable Image” in “Content Featured Image Size”. Then in your post just add in the image with left align and first paragraph of content. Then you can split the content through The More tag. See this for more tag http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/

2. Then, I would like to upload a nice and wide banner at the top of my site, which would include my logo but would be wider than the 300px wide limit allowed for logo (I know it is a stupid precision, since we are speakingabout a banner), but I did not find anything else than the logo uploading facility …
— You can upload the logo up to the size of 1140px width from “Appearance => Header”. That 300px is just a suggested size. When you upload the header image, you will get “Crop Header Image” box. At that time, just click on “Skip Cropping, Publish Image as Is” or scroll your mode to what you want to crop and click on “Crop and Publish”.

3. I would like to fix my menu bar, so that when users scroll down, the menu bar remains visible on the top of the site (but not the banner). Is there a simple way to do that ?? Is that possible with this theme?
— This is not possible with the theme. But yes you might try searching in the plugins.

4. I also tried to replace one of the three little posts which are right under the slider (post hentry), by giogn into the theme options and to homepage featured content … but nothing happened. I would like to link those three little images with 3 different pages of my site … is there a better way to do it than going into the theme option?
— It should be fine if you haven’t edit any theme file. You should go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage Featured Content Options”. Then you can Add in your own image, links, title and content. Then click on Save Changes.

I don’t want to split content- I need the post to be formatted. I want the layout to look like this: http://www.cathygriffinhomes.com/listings

I need the featured slider at the top and the post to be formatted with the except and a featured image to the left, just as the site above has.

At one time the post page worked exactly as I wanted it to. I changed the name of the page that it was shown on from “blog” to “news” and it seem to break it.

Hi saskin, sorry I have two other little questions:
1) first when I uploaded the featured slider images, clicking on the image the image appeared much bigger . Now I must habe make some mistake as no bigger images appears when i click on the image. There must be a functions for getting them bigger.

2) very urgent: as per mistake i saved the wp application here: http://www.nordicwalkingvareselaghi.it/wp/
but the correct URL for public is without /wp the provide told me to disinstalle the application and to reinstall
Question : can I then redownload the protheme ?? its the same IP adress . I hope I donß t have to pay again.
Please answer me urgent on this as I don´t have the courage for now to disinstall being afraid to loose the theme then.
kind regards,
Kristina

Add the following css to get the featured slider headings
#main-slider .entry-title { display: block; }

Is there a way of moving the featured content to the bottom of the text on the home page, rather than at the top?
— For this you need to customize the theme by building child theme. You need to get developer to do this for you.

Is there a way of moving the featured content to the bottom of the text on the home page, rather than at the top?

[Potzas]

Hi, i have figured out the 2nd issue. I just need to know how to get the featured slider headings and featured content headings back. Thanks!!

[Potzas]

Hi Sakin, thanks for your help! I have made a new static page, as I need the content to show on the ‘home’ page. In doing this I have lost the headings for both my slider images and the featured content? Also, is there a way to remove ‘Home’ from the top menu, so that the static page is not showing as 2 pages? ie Home and the one I set it to? Thanks 🙂

[Sakin]

@wagllc:
1) On the home page there is no spacing between the Slider and the Menu Bar. Can I adjust this space?
— You can just add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box. Adjust the margin as per your need.
.featured-slider { margin-top: 30px; }

2) How can I control the space between the Logo Banner and the Menu Bar? Currently I have the following CSS code to reduce padding around the Logo Banner and remove the search box:
— To adjust the space between the Logo Banner and the Menu Bar, You can add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box. Adjust the margin as per your need.
#header #mainmenu { margin-top: 30px; }

When you tweak the css. Don’t edit style.css. You can add it in Custom CSS box or build child theme and edit it. If you edit style.css it will be overwritten when you update the theme.

Thanks – that worked.
My main home page of the website is a blog – not a static page. I’d like that “home” page to have an image slider (I can do that now), but I’d love other pages to just show a specific featured (for each page) without fading into other images. Can this be done?

[Sakin]

@rxcosta: Yes the vertical lines are the effect. You can disable that Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options”. Then Check “Disable Slider Background Effect”.

[Sakin]

@kirsten0203: For that you need to upgrade to Catch Everest Pro version and use the “Featured Image Slider” instead of “Featured Post Slider”.

[Sakin]

@helenage: Catch Everest free theme only have Featured Post Slider. But you will get more option in Pro version.

Here goes the instruction 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 will also be able to get the post ID from All Post in your WordPress Dashboard. But still 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 => Featured Post Slider Options”. Add in the post id. Make sure you only add in the ID number.

For other question. Yes thanks to @NyaKungen: The three small images is called Homepage Featured Content. Which you can change it from “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage Featured Content Options”.

[geeroads]

HA! Thanks for your help, you guys rule!

[Sakin]

@Parkernolan79: You have stop showing that post in homepage though “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Featured Post Slider Options” box and check “Exclude Slider post from Homepage posts”

If you completely want different slider without linked to post, then you have to use Featured Image Slider. For that you need to upgrade to Catch Everest Pro theme. See the additional featured in Pro version http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest-pro/

[Sakin]

@geeroads: I just check in your site and found that you have deleted the footer section. The script for the featured post slider runs on footer. So, it need footer hook to run the script. Please restore the theme and it will be fine.

[NyaKungen]

The three small images is called featured content option. You find it under theme option/homepage settings/homepage featured content options. There you can change the images.

For the slider I was able to change the images by logging in with ftp, look for images named slider1 and slider2. Put your own images in the folder with the same name. But I can’t get rid of the text, it is embedded in javascript somehow.

@iceman027: Nice.
