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.

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 🙂

@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.

[Sakin]

@iceman027: Nice.

[iceman027]

Oh nevermind, I was able to change it modifying the previous code you gave me. Thanks for your help.

[iceman027]

@sakin thanks so much. Is there also a way to change the post title font color? Not all the text featured in the slider, but just the color of the bolded title?

Thanks.

[Sakin]

You can remove commend on individual pages through Discussion Module under your post editor. See this for more details http://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments/

About your another question. Why you want to remove the Main. If you don’t want main page there then don’t keep Main page as Homepage. Go to “Settings => Readings” and then select “Your latest posts” on Front page displays. Then Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage/Frontpage Settings” and uncheck “Enable Latest Posts”. Once you will do this, you will only have homepage with slider and featured content.

[Sakin]

@iceman027: Yes sure. You can just add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#slider-wrap .featured-text span { font-weight: bold; }

@jdaley: Yes, you misunderstood. Tyler published video tutorial for various themes and is not associated with Catch Themes. He like one of our theme “Simple Catch” and published video on it. That’s it.

I would like to your clear your confusion about the Free and Pro version of slider.

Simple Catch Free Theme:
It only have Featured Post Slider options. This mean you can only assign your post as the featured slider.

Simple Catch Pro Theme:
You will get options to choose different type of slider. 1. Features Post Slider, 2. Featured Page Slider, 3. Featured Category Slider, 4 Featured Image Slider. So, this give you full flexibility in featured slider.

For more information about Simple Catch Pro theme. See this http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/simple-catch-pro/

But if you like to use Simple Catch Free theme and add the slider. Then follow the instruction as below:
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 can also view the Post ID in All Post section in your WordPress Dashboard. But 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 => Add Slider Options”. Add in the post id.

jdaley.. What video on Youtube?

I believe you may be mixing themes? I’ve seen Tyler working with the responsive theme – a different theme than the catch themes.

There are many themes and plug-ins that have featured image sliders. The free catchbox theme lets you use either the featured image tied to specific post or to specific pages. The upgrade has a slider that I use – which allows me to have a featured image link to anything I want – including external pages.
