Using the Free Catch box theme. Really nice!

http://compasstaxhelp.com/

1 – This message appears on the home page with a search box:

Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.

2 – I would like to have a couple paragraphs of text below the slideshow on the home page (as opposed to the above error message) and cannot figure this out!!

3 – Possible to change the size of text on slideshow or add some CSS?

4 – Also Slideshow seems to jump…not smooth. Don’t know why.

ASAP would be swell!!

Thanks so much!!

@rlsdesigns:
1 and 2) For adding text in the homepage. You can just create a page and then assign the page page for Front page displays. For settings, go to your WordPress Dashboard and “Settings -> Reading” . If you cannot find then here is direct link to your site homepage settings ( http://compasstaxhelp.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php )

3) To change the size of text on slideshow. You can add the following CSS in Theme Options in your WordPress Dashboard “Appearance -> Theme Options” ( http://compasstaxhelp.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=theme_options )
#slider-wrap .featured-text {
font-size: 18px;
}

4) For slideshow effect. You can increase the Transition Effect in your Featured Slider Options in your WordPress Dashboard. “Appearance -> Featured Slider -> Slider Effect Options” ( http://compasstaxhelp.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=slider_options )

Thank you so much Sakin! Sorry to be in a rush…I only have 2 more questions when you  have a moment.  In the slideshow, each post only contains a title. Is there any way to remove the colon :  after the title?

1 .
Would like to see:

Free Face-to-Face Consultation (no colon)

as opposed to this:

Free Face-to-Face Consultation:(with colon)

 

2. Right now every slideshow image is clickable. I would like to take away this functionality but cannot figure it out.

Thanks again for your time and your very nice theme!!

@rlsdesigns: For this you need to customize the catchbox_sliders() function. To do that you need to create Child theme and then edit catchbox_sliders() function and edit the following part for which you need to have knowledge of PHP coding:

'.get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'featured-slider', array( 'title' => $title_attribute, 'alt' => $title_attribute, 'class' => 'pngfix' ) ).'

'
.the_title( '','', false ).' :
'.get_the_excerpt().'

';


But if you want easy way out then there is good news that on Christmas, we recently released Catch Box Pro version where, it meets all your criteria. There is additional featured image slider where you can just add the image and title and description, links are optional. http://catchthemes.com/themes/catch-box-pro/

Thanks Sakin. I purchased the theme, looked,  and still can not figure out a couple things that you said would be possible with the purchase.

@rlsdesigns: For adding slider with just image and title without making it clickable. This can be done by using Featured Image Slider.

1. Go to “Theme Options -> Featured Slider”
2. Then in your “Slider Options”, select “Featured Image Slider”.
3. Then add image and title only in your “Featured Image Slider Options” and then click on save.

It’s all done.

Thanks so much! That did the trick, except it is NOT showing the change in the Safari browser or on my iPhone. (I’m on a pc)

I also changed the banner which shows up on all browsers except Safari (on PC and phone)…

Lastly, the favicon i uploaded is not showing up…

HELP!

Thanks!!

@rlsdesigns: It’s getting cache from WP-Super Cache plugin. Can you clear your Cache in WP-Super Cache plugin settings and check it.

[rlsdesigns]

Ah…does this need to be done on a regular basis?

Thanks you so much Sakin as that did work. I think the plugin came with the updated WP version or maybe the theme? Should i just delete this pluggin?

 

Still do not see the new favicon though..

[Sakin]

@rlsdesigns: No necessary to delete the plugin just remember to clear the cache when you make changes.
