@impressionsfromheaven: Which browser are you using it? Check your browser to see is it’s has auto zip extractor. If so then you can simply try using different browser or disable auto zip extractor in your browser. For example, if you want to disable auto zip extractor in Safari then try this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1483114?start=0.

Another option is that, you can right click on the link and click on “Save Link As…” to dowload the zip file without auto extractor. See this screenshot https://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798333093154/

Thank you. I got it working now.

I was also wondering what is the highest/best resolution for images for simple catch pro? I uploaded an image and it is grainy.

Another question: most of my images are vertical and not horizontal like the featured image horizontal rectangle. Is there a way to change the format of the featured slider?

Thank you.

Sorry another question: how do I change the font on this theme? I tried going under theme options and changing the set fonts there but to no avail. I can italicize under editing but it doesn’t show up on the actual site??

Thanks

Su

@impressionsfromheaven:
1. Image size/resolution depends on the area where you are uploading image. The recommended size in mention in theme instructions page at https://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/simple-catch-pro/#imagesizes

2. Sorry, there is no option to change the image size format. But you can change featured image type to “Featured Image Slider” and then upload image of your choice. See this for featured image slider https://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/simple-catch-pro/#enable-featured-image-slider

3. Italic is not option in Font options. Font option is only for changing font family. You can post in which element you want to change to italic with your site URL then we can give you custom css.

Thank you!

Couple more questions. Hopefully last.

I changed all my fonts to pt and increased their size. However the Menu titles and the title with colon (Title:) under the feature slider has not changed in size. Can you tell me what those items are called under the font size option?

Also how do I fit my thumbnail to fit within the square? I tried edited the size down but it doesn’t change anything.

Last question. I have not gone live yet. I can access my site admin on my computer but cannot on my phone. Is there a reason why mobile internet won’t let me access admin?

Thank you

Su

[Su]

Ok. I can access my site on my cell now. Figured it out.

Another question: how do I put a link to have people subscribe/email list, etc.?

Thank you.

@impressionsfromheaven:
1. Adjust font size: This can be done through Custom CSS.
Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following:

.featured-text .slider-title {
    font-size: 20px;
}

.featured-text .slider-content {
    font-size: 15px;
}

#access ul li a {
	font-size: 15px;
}

Note: Adjust the font-size as required.

2. Did you changed the image size in code? If so, you’ll need to use Regenerate thumbnails plugin once.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

3. Please use Jetpack Plugin’s Subscription module or any other plugins in http://wordpress.org/plugins that suits for you.

Thank you for your help.

I noticed my images were grainy so I uploaded the higher resolution which have file sizes around 1-6 MB. It seems to be working fine on my computer but am worried it won’t upload for others.

Should I decrease the image size or is it ok? Do I decrease the size after I upload and edit it on my site? Or do I need to decrease the size even before uploading to site?

Thanks

Su

[Su]

Also I still can’t get thumbnails to fit. Is there a good plug in that resizes images to make it fit?

Su

[Mahesh]

@impressionsfromheaven: Using larger image impacts on loading time of your website. I recommend you to resize the image before uploading to the site.
Once you’ve changed the image size, you’ll need to run the regenerate thumbnails once and all your image size will be resized to your desired provided size.
Please post in your site url.

Regards,
Mahesh

[Su]

Thank you. Will do.

I can’t seem to center one of my thumbnails. The regenerate plugin doesn’t seem to have an option to center it. Also how do I use the regenerate plug in in the post and slider photos?

Thanks.

Su

[Su]

Thank you. I just uploaded simple image sizes plug in. I set all the settings to this themes’ parameters for the pixels. I see a “regenerate images” tab on the bottom of posts and pages. I assume this will regenerate all the images on those pages to the settings i put in place.

I assume the slider images are taken from the page or post so it will automatically be regenerated as well?

What about my image on my front page? What is the resolution that needs to be? Mine is rectangular similar in size to the slider. Right now I have it set to 976 x 376. Is that OK?

My site is not live yet. It is http://www.impressionsfromheaven.com

Thank you so much.

@impressionsfromheaven: Regenerate thumbnails plugin regenerates all images including post images, slider header images etc. I don’t quite get you there by the image in the front page, did you mean the slider image size? The recommended image size for slider is 976×376.

Regards,
Mahesh

[Su]

Thank you.

I mean the header image size.

Does regenerate mean if I have an original file that’s 5MB, it will automatically size it down to whatever the settings are so I don’t have to resize on my own before uploading it onto my blog?

Su

[Mahesh]

@impressionsfromheaven: The recommended size for header image is 978 × 200 however you can use image of any size and crop it or skip cropping as you desired.
Regenerate Thumbnail Plugin: No, I don’t mean that. What this plugin does is, if you change dimension of image in Setting=> Media or through theme customization, the image uploaded after the change is resized to new dimensions but previous images need to be resized too. This is where this plugin come in handy.
Hope you understand.

Hello. I have a couple of questions today. I am using “contact form 7”. Pop up contact forms are becoming very popular.

1. How can I replace contact form 7 with a pop up caontact from on my theme.

2. How can I add a YouTube account link to my Theme. I don’t want to link a YouTube video, I want to link a complete YouTube account that has multiple video’s.

As always, Thank you for your help.

@rflores:
1. I guess this is managed by plugin itself.
2. Can you please clarify on this one. Link to youtube account? Do you mean to put url that points to you Youtube account?

Let me know further.

Regards,
Mahesh

[rflores]

Thanks for the reply Mahesh. I was able to add my YouTube link correctly. I have an additional question. I added a “Follow me on Twitter”link as well to my website. The link shows multiple twits. I want the link to only show the first 3 or 4 links. My url is happypsychic.com. I want my link to look like the ” Follow us on twitter” link on the following url, everythingiswine.com. That link only shows 3 twits. That’s how I want my site to look like. I hope you can help me correct my link to look the same as everythingiswine.com site.
As always,

Thank you for your help.

[Mahesh]

@rflores: You are using Jetpack’s Twitter Timeline right? In the widget options there is an option to limit the twitter posts, put 3 in # of Tweets Shown in Twitter Timeline widget option.

Regards,
Mahesh

[rflores]

Thanks Mahesh. I did download Jetpack’s Twitter Timeline from Webpress.com. I was not able to get it to work. Can you please walk me through the process step by step.

Thanks for your help.
