Excellent Theme!

I’ve read all the post in search for answers, I have found some,
others I Ihave not and some I need help understanding. I am working on
the following site: site http://www.alegriarestaurant.com using Catch Box
Child Theme.

Can you please help me with the following:

1. Remove “Powered by WordPress / Catch Theme” from footer.

2. Navigation menu not always stays in one line. It changes with
different search engines. I used this code from one of your posts and it helped but it was not a final solution: #branding ul.menu a { padding: 0 1.11em; }

3. Capital letters not working on iPhone/android devises. Shows Home,
in stead of HOME, I used this code from one of your posts and it helped but it was not a final solution since it does not work in iPhone/Android: #branding ul.menu a { text-transform: uppercase; }

4. iPhone/Android showing Green Background frame on the right instead
of the bottom (as in the rest of the site) on the pages where I have
a contact form. Something similar happens when I was trying to fill out this actual form, from an iPhone, I could not get to the Submit button.

5. How can I make a Header slide show? I did not understand the video another person posted.

6. Twitter link says “Forbidden (Rate Limit Exceeded)”. How to correct
this issue?

7. How to change text color of a particular widget?

Thank you so much in advance.

@Luis:
1. Remove “Powered by WordPress / Catch Theme” from footer.
— We don’t allow to remove Footer information in Free Theme as this is only the source of our recognition for providing Free theme and Free Support. But, if you want to remove it, please upgrade to Catch Box Pro theme and then you will have Footer Editor Options in Theme Options panel to edit or remove the footer text.

2. Navigation menu not always stays in one line. It changes with
different search engines. I used this code from one of your posts and it helped but it was not a final solution: #branding ul.menu a { padding: 0 1.11em; }
— Yes we know about that, different browser render the font and margin differently so it cannot be 100% same. You just adjust the padding as per your need.

3. Capital letters not working on iPhone/android devises. Shows Home,
in stead of HOME, I used this code from one of your posts and it helped but it was not a final solution since it does not work in iPhone/Android: #branding ul.menu a { text-transform: uppercase; }
— Add the following CSS in “Custom CSS” box in Theme Options panel.
.tinynav { text-transform: uppercase; }

4. iPhone/Android showing Green Background frame on the right instead
of the bottom (as in the rest of the site) on the pages where I have
a contact form. Something similar happens when I was trying to fill out this actual form, from an iPhone, I could not get to the Submit button.
— the form you have added in your contact page is not responsive so it is having issue in mobile devices.

5. How can I make a Header slide show? I did not understand the video another person posted.
— To add the Featured Post Slider. See this
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

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. But if you cannot find it then you can use this plugin to view it http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/catch-ids/

Then go to “Appearance => Featured Slider => Slider Options”. Add in the post id.

6. Twitter link says “Forbidden (Rate Limit Exceeded)”. How to correct
this issue?
— I don’t know about this. I think you are talking about the widget or plugin. If you are talking about plugin then as the Plugin support forum.

7. How to change text color of a particular widget?
— For this you need to know about the CSS ID and Class and then add the css for that particular ID and classes.

I am more that happy to purchase this wonderful Theme. Will I have to start from scratch again with the editing (I do have a Child Theme of the free version) or will my edits stay once I upgrade?

Can you please tell me how to center the Site Title and Tag line?

Thank you so much!

 

Luis

[Sakin]

@Luis: Yes, Catch Box Pro uses the same base so all your customization will mostly stay. But few might not. So, you have to check your site after you update. Like you header image, background, and widgets.

Also in your child theme you need to change the template name to catch-box-pro

You can just add the following css in your Child Theme style.css or you can add in “Custom CSS” box in Theme Options panel.
#site-title, #site-description { margin: 0; text-align: center; }

I am sorry, I don’t understand the explanation. Let me try to rephrase my question (English is my second languish). I am not referring to “Slide Post”, but to a Slide Image Header. I have inserted 8 photos in the Custom Heather Section (with the correct header size) and selected Show A Different Image On Each page. but what I want these images to constantly change every few seconds even if the visitor is staying in one single page. Is there a code you could give me to place in the Custom CSS Style, that will help me achieve what I am looking for? Or perhaps this function is available in the Pro version and I will only need to select it?

————————————————————————————————————–

Regarding going Pro: Will I loose the Custom CSS codes I already have
entered? I am not good at this technology and it has taking me a while
to get to where I am then loose everything due to my very limited
knowledge.

I have already been locked out and cannot log in back from my house
internet, I guess due to the amount of mistakes I made trying to
figure out how to login. Any chance I could get access again please? Also, I cannot
reply from my iPhone because the Submit button on your forum does not
show on the iPhone screen.

Thank you so much in advance, your support is excellent!

@Luis: Oh sorry the random display of custom header image is not supported in this theme.

If you upgrade to pro, you won’t loose your customization. But you might need to check your custom header, menu, background, widgets and all.

I have remove the lockouts. Now you will be able to login.

Dear Sakin,

Thank you so much for replaying and for granting me access again from my house.

1. You said: “Oh sorry the random display of custom header image is not supported in this theme”…But the theme does have that feature, right now I am using; so I am still struggling with trying to make myself understood. I have attached a youtube video that poorly explains what I want to do: A Header Image Slideshow as in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhMMGQ41NpE. However, I would not dare editing the actual css of the Theme, it will be desatrous, so my question is: Can  I acheave this with a code provided by you for the Custom CSS, or is this an available option in the Pro version?

2. I am having problems with the Theme’s available Widgets. Currently the Recent Post Title Widget, is linking to the Mailing List Registration. Can you please help me fix this?

Thank you.

Luis

[Sakin]

Dear Luis,

You have problem with your code in Mailing List Registration. Please fix that and it will be fine.

I check in he youtube video and it’s about installing the plugin and that has nothing to do with the theme feature. You can just activate the plugin and then build child theme of Catch Box and replace the code in header.php section of site-logo.

Sakin

Dear Sakin,

1. Here is the code provided by Contact Contact. Please let me know if you see something wrong with it. http://visitor.r20.constantcontact.com/d.jsp?llr=ros7f6bab&p=oi&m=1101564627409

Couldn’t it be a bug somewhere else? While adding text widges to the side bar, at some point the Social Links in the themes (at the bottom of the page), were even linking to Constant Contact and duplicating the Facebook and Twitter Icons. I am happy to provide you with access to the site, the instant you request it, in the mean time, here is a link to it again: http://www.alegriarestaurant.com

2. I am using the Dark Color Skim and I have to manually white color  any text I enter or it won’t show up in the site. It happens in most pages but not in all of them.

3. Is it possible to tight the Header and Footer while the content pages scroll down?

4. Regarding the Header Slide Show (not Post Slider), I do not want to install any Plug In. My question again is: Is this feature (Header Slide Show) available in the Pro version? If it is not available, please tell me which of your themes provide this feature. Again, Header Slider, not Post Slider.

Thank you

Luis

[Sakin]

Dear Luis,

1. I already told you there is problem in your Mailing list code that is why it is linking to all. there is no closing for link. If you doubt then remove the mailing list widget and everything will be fine.

2. Send me example of the pages so that I can check in.

3. I don’t get it what you mean.

4. Non of our theme provide slideshow in header. We only have Featured Image Slider instead of Featured Post Slider in All Pro version of theme.

Regards,
Sakin

Dear Sakin,

1. I am sorry, I did not intent to upset you. I just don’t know how to fix this problem. I removed the Contact Contact button, however, I have a second button and the problem continues. I moved the Recent Post Widget to the Top of the side bar and that issue was resolved, however one of the the Social Icons is now duplicated and linking to that second button. I am frustrated, I don’t know what to do. Thank you nevertheless.

2. http://alegriarestaurant.com/

3. I am referring to a Fixed Header (and Footer) with Scrolling Content. I’d like the Header with its navigation intact, so visitors always have the ability to access the navigation while scrolling down to read the page content.

4. Thank you for the information. Is this possible to achieve with a plug in without having to edit the theme?

 

Thank you so much for your help.

Dear Sakin,

 

I could not figure out how to attach the link into pastebin.com so I sent you the link by directly replaying to your email instead of doing it from the Forum. I also gave you the site loging and passowrd. THank you so much for doing this.

Dear Luis,

There was problem with your mailing list code. I have fixed it ad now it is working fine.

Dear Sakin,

Thank you so much for doing this for me. After that, I just purchased the theme under my [email protected]. I am sure I will need help installing it.

I still need you to help me with the following points from the previous email:

1. I still have to color white the text, because since I am using the Dark Color Skim. This happens in most of the pages, but not all. The post seems that I can stillwrite in black colored text and the theme changes it to white once the Update button is pressed.

2. I’d like to have a Fixed Header (and Footer) with Scrolling Content. I’d like the Header with its navigation intact, so visitors always have the ability to access the navigation while scrolling down to read the page content.

3. How can I add color and center Page Titles.

4. Is there a Plugin that will help me achieve a Slide Show in the Header?

Thank you so much!

Luis

[Sakin]

Dear Luis,

1. For this, I don’t get it. Can you point me exactly what is the issue on which page for example.

2. I’d like to have a Fixed Header (and Footer) with Scrolling Content. I’d like the Header with its navigation intact, so visitors always have the ability to access the navigation while scrolling down to read the page content.
— This is beyond our theme scope so you need to customize it. So for this consider hiring someone in http://jobs.wordpress.net/ or Tweaky partner which banner is on the right sidebar.

3. How can I add color and center Page Titles.
— To add color and center the page title, add the following CSS in “Custom CSS” box in Theme Options panel. Change the color code as per your need.
.entry-title, .entry-title a { color: #dddddd; text-align: center; }

4. Is there a Plugin that will help me achieve a Slide Show in the Header?
--- Yes there are lot of plugins which you will need to search in http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

Dear Sakin,

1. In the original light color skim theme, all texts in my pages were written in default black color, however when I changed to Dark Color Skim, the texts all became automatically white, which makes sense, so that they could be seen in the dark background. However, anything I write now, I have to manually change the text color from black to white, otherwise it won’t show on the dark skim since they both dark (text and background) in the Dark Color Skim. I have erased all the text I entered in the home page and bring the text color to the default black. Please enter whatever text you’d like to test, then click update and see that you won’t be able to see the text in the view page, because it is lack text on a dark background. Is there an auto solution so that I don’t have to manually white color the text every time I write some content?

2. For some reason this code is not working, I am sure I did something wrong: .entry-title, .entry-title a { color: #dddddd; text-align: center; }

Thank you so much in advance.

Dear Sakin,

I just went in and erased the Home page content and wrote something in the text editor and it came back in white, which is good. However, when I copy and paste content to any page, I have to manually white the text in order to be seen. Please see ‘Home Page’ http://alegriarestaurant.com/ versus ‘Our Cuisine Page’ http://alegriarestaurant.com/about-us/our-cuisine/

How can I fix this permanently, so no mater if I write or paste info into pages, it will come up in white text even though I am writing with a dark color so that I can see what I am writing.

Thank you

Luis
