    How do you make disable the linking of the Featured Slider Text Box? Right now if I click the text box it takes me to another page unlike the live preview which it goes nowhere.

    @specialkyo: If you are using Catch Everest Pro theme then you can use Featured Image Slier which you can select from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider”. Then Select slider type.

    In Featured Image Slider, you can just upload the image and no need to add any links.

    See theme instruction for more details http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest/

    Hi,

    What are the exact dimensions for images that you have on the slider?

    Huge compliments on the Catch Everest Pro theme! It looks awesome, clean and professional. Only two relatively minor issues . . .

    First, I am having issues with the “Title” portion of the Featured Image Slider. I am using the Featured Image Slider, and the content of the “Title” section on the published slider image does not have the white/grey/translucent box around it. It makes it difficult to see on all slides, and impossible to see on dark slides. The “Content” portion of the published image does have the box around it, and it looks great.

    Second, and less important to me, is it possible to reposition and/or resize the “Title” and “Content” boxes on the published image? I am running into issues where the text is detracting from the image by covering important portions. I would like to avoid that if possible.

    I could remedy both issues by simply deleting the text in the Feature Slider Options and incorporating it into the image itself. I would however prefer to have the text in code, presumably so search engines can read it, and for uniformity and simplicity’s sake.

    Thanks for responding at your convenience. Also, I have not launched the website yet. If you need to see it, please send your IP by email and I will add you to the “whitelist.” This is my first attempt at WP and I am running version 3.5.1. Thanks again!

    @jmott310: Thanks for your appreciation.

    Your first issue has been fixed in latest version of Catch Everest Pro theme. So, just upgrade to latest version. After you update, change any value in the Theme Options panel to clear the cache and it will be fine.

    Second, and less important to me, is it possible to reposition and/or resize the “Title” and “Content” boxes on the published image? I am running into issues where the text is detracting from the image by covering important portions. I would like to avoid that if possible.
    — Yes you can hide it by adding the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
    #main-slider .entry-container { display: none; }

    Thank you for the upgrade and now it looks pretty good in IE 10 as well. Some issues there but I will post in another topic. The “Title” text box in the Featured Image Slider is showing in IE 10 and Chrome after the update. However, in Firefox, Opera, and Safari the box only appears when you hover over the text. I tried clearing the caches in all browsers to no avail. So the “Title” text is still not drawing attention in those browsers. Thanks for the quick response on the last post, and I look forward to your response when you are available.

    For some reason the box around the “Title” text in Chrome is gone again. I was going back and forth between browsers, and one minute it was there and the next . . . gone. Now its back to the same before the update. Also, IE 10 does not have any padding around the “Title” text in the Featured Image Slider (that was the case right after the update also). Thanks again for the support!

    @jmott310: Do you have cache installed in your site. If so then you need to clear your site cache and then your each browser cache so that you see same on all. Share with me your site URL and I will check your site in all browsers.

    Thanks again for your attention. I can say this experience is making me a loyal Catch Themes customer. I have not added any additional cache plugins through WP. My domain is hosted by GoDaddy and is using Linux. I have tried to search whether GoDaddy has a separate cache, but I haven’t found anything yet. I activated another theme, deleted the Everest Pro Theme, cleared all browser caches, closed and restarted all browsers, reinstalled the Everest Pro theme, activated it, made a change in the Theme Options section, saved that, then pointed my browser, Chrome, to my site’s homepage url and I am running into the same problem, i.e., no box around the “Title” text in the Featured Image Slider. My website is not visible to the public right now due to professional regulations, and the fact it is for a future business not yet open. Please email me with your IP and I will add you to my whitelist so you can view the site, or, I can briefly make it publicly visible (just enough time for you to assist), but we would need to coordinate a day or time for that. Thanks again for the great attention and support!

    @jmott310: I am mostly traveling so I don’t have fixed IP address. So, I will email you. Then you can create WordPress account for me and then you can make your site visible to login users only. In this way, I can even look at the issue in details with your server.

    @jmott310: Thanks a lot for creating account for me and I am able to find the issue in the site. There was css missing and I have added the following CSS in your “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box
    #main-slider .entry-title a {
    background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
    color: #222;
    display: block;
    padding: 10px 25px;
    padding: 1rem 2.5rem;
    }

    You can remove this css after the release of new version update. Have a nice day.

    @cara: Sorry I missed your thread. You should have posted in new thread then it would have been easier for me to see it.

    This is responsive design so you need to be careful while you change the stuffs. So, I am giving you the css that changes only for the large screens not for the mobile devices. You can add in the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box. For paragraph spacing. You can just add line-height. So more bout css. See this http://www.w3schools.com/css/
    @media screen and (min-width: 1060px) {
    /* Font for slider text box */
    #main-slider .entry-container { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; }
    /* Sizes of Box */
    #main-slider .entry-container { max-width: 50%; }
    /* Font Size for Slider Title */
    #main-slider .entry-title { font-size: 30px; }
    /* Font Size for Slider Excerpt */
    #main-slider .entry-content { font-size: 16px; }
    }
