Hello everybody,

First things first : thank you very much for this theme, which is (to me) very close to perfection. And thank you for the support which comes with it, I have already spent hours to fix various isues and most of the answers came directly from here …

Here is th site I am working on at present (please do not pay too much attention too all the stupid mistakes I made, I am completely new to website construction…) : http://www.paroquiansalagados.com.br/blog

At present, I am trying to fix 4 different issues, the most urgent and important for me being the first one :

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 ??

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 …

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?

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?

I know that it is a good lot, I hope you will find the time to answer even a little part of it.

— 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/

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.

— 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.

Hello Again!

And thank you very much for your help, it is really worth posting something on this forum…I am starting to wonder if there is only one guy behind the Sakin profile, or a complete team.

Just for information, I am not using the catch everest pro theme, but the simple catch everest theme.

As a matter of fact, I have modified a little the CSS files of the theme, in the header for instance (to take the header out of the container), and to adjust the size of the main slider…do you know if those modifications can be made via the custom CSS, so I can get back to the original version of the files, and just modifiy my custom CSS ??

Thanks again for your help,

[Sakin]

@nsalagados: I check in your site and see that you are using Catch Everest Free then and have customized it.

Yes, you can add any modified css in “Custom CSS” box. The right way to customize the theme is either by “Custom CSS” box or building child theme and editing the files. This will help you prevent loosing your customization while you update your theme to latest version releases.

We have small team working. I only handle the support and theme updates. So, you will see only me from Catch Themes handling the support issues.
