Hi Sakin, hoping you can help with this: I am developing this site with Simple Catch. Currently in Settings > Reading, I have “Front Page displays” set to “A static page,” and two active pages listed for the “Front Page” and “Posts Page.”

With these settings my home page looks just like it should, but on the posts page, all it says is, “Not found Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive.”

And when I try switching “Front Page displays” to “Your latest posts,” the posts page looks like it should but the home page has the “Not found” message on it.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong? THANK YOU.

@jimchicago: I check in your site and it is working fine.

[jimchicago]

Yes, I see that now too. I’m glad … but not sure how it happened!

Jimchicago- How do you do a new post with a picture beside the topic? I looked at your website in your blog page for example. You had a post “Congress Parkway interchange..” and a picture beside the post. Also another post underneath it “Pipejacking…” and a picture beside it. How do you that and how do you group the new post so that they don’t clutter? Like you have to click on the particular post and it will only show that particular post.

@xcaliber: That’s the normal blog layout of Simple Catch Theme. Can you show me your site. Maybe you have missed adding in the Featured Image in the post. The picture in the side in the Featured Image of that post. To add in the Featured Image see this http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image

Hi Sakin,

We are using Catch Box Pro (http://foiftexas.nfoic.net/) to design our new site. We have some questions regarding possible updates to our blog. They are as follows:

1. On the blog page, a number of posts appear. Is it possible to minimize the number of posts to say 5?
2. When navigating through individual post pages, the navigation headers “next” and “previous” appear. Is it possible to change settings that will replace those directions with the title of the next and previous article?

Thanks!

[Sakin]

@TxFOIFT: Thanks for using Catch Box Pro theme.

1. On the blog page, a number of posts appear. Is it possible to minimize the number of posts to say 5?
— Yes, you can set that from “Settings => Reading” from your WordPress Dashboard and then type 5 in “Blog pages show at most”

2. When navigating through individual post pages, the navigation headers “next” and “previous” appear. Is it possible to change settings that will replace those directions with the title of the next and previous article?
— This once it bit complicated, you need to use the developer or you need to have knowledge about the code. Best, if you don’t like it then hide it by adding the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#nav-single { display: none; }
and then you can add maybe add Yet Another Related Plugin to show related posts under your post which will be more relevant to your site.

But if you want to change the code. Then first you need to build child theme and then copy single.php in your child theme directory and edit the code for nav single.

Hi

I have set up a blog post page and it view successfully however when I click on the link to view the post it says…. 400 Bad Requests

How can I get the post to view
http://patriciazimmerman.com

We just went live today! I love the catch themes, they are easy. This was my only issue! Thx!

[Sakin]

@Mary Beth: I check in your site and also click on link and it’s working fine. Can you check your site. Also 400 Bad Requests error is not the theme issue, it’s your server issue and if you get error like this then you need to post in your website server support.

Hi, I’m using Catch Responsive to make a site for a friend. Staging link: http://tabarreta.com/

I don’t see an option to create a page that shows blog posts only. The home page of course has featured stories with blog excerpts below it, but which page template shows blog posts only?

[Sakin]

@sarkinbar: Actually, you have option to set static front page or latest post, where you can select which page to be added as blog. For that you need to go to “Appearance => Customize => Static Front Page” and then select as per your need.

Hi, I’m using Simple Catch for my blog site. URL is http://sewbluethread.com/

When I click on a blog post, the heading for each blog post is all black, with faint text. What steps do I take to have the font shown on each blog post. Thanks. Marsha

[Sakin]

@marsha: I see that you have made changes thorough Easy Google Font Plugin. Also, I don’t understand your question: Do you want to remove that black background in the post title? or Do yo want to add that black baground int eh post title in posts in Frontpage?

[Marsha]

I would like to remove the black background, so that the blog title can be seen clearly (without the black background). Would I need to remove the Easy Google Font Plugin, and if so, how do I do it (step by step)?

[Sakin]

@marsha: Yes, you can go to “Plugins” in your WordPress Dashboard and then deactivate that plugin. But, if you don’t want to deactivate that plugin, then check that plugin font color options and change the color there. This is not from our theme.

[Marsha]

Hi, Thank you. I have done the abovementioned actions, and the blackline has been removed.
Please could you also tell me how to remove the word ‘category’. When you visit my site, and click on the ‘projects’ heading. The page comes up with a title, and a word ‘category’ next to the title.
Thank you. Marsha

[Sakin]

@marsha: Thant is default from WordPress code the_archive_title function. To remove that, you need to user filter hook. So, first build child theme. For child theme, refer to https://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/ and then add the following code in child theme functions.php file.

add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', function ($title) {
    if ( is_category() ) {
        $title = single_cat_title( '', false );
    } elseif ( is_tag() ) {
        $title = single_tag_title( '', false );
    } 
    return $title;
});

Hi Sakin, You’re a genius! I worked it out what you said, and have completed the task with success. Thank you very much. Marsha.

[Sakin]

Hi, I have a website http://sewbluethread.com
When I click on the main page, ‘Quilts’, a new page opens up and the title comes up in black text. How do I change the text to match the other pages, (blue and large text)?
Please could you respond step by step, so I can make the changes. I am using a child theme.
kind regards
Marsha
