Hi,
I am preparing my website offline at the moment so I can’t post a link yet. It’s Simple Catch free theme and most of it works great.
Problem is about slider, I would like to leave the title but remove the rest of the text.
I’ve tried some solutions I found like editing simplecatch_functions.php (witch gives me parse error as soon as I change something) and writing custom CSS codes like:
.featured-text {display: none;}
or
#main-slider .entry-content { display: none; }
and
#main-slider .entry-container { display: none; }

Nothing works, text is still there.
I found that I can only remove everything, title and text with:
#main-slider .entry-content { display: none; }
.featured-text {display: none;}

I know pro theme would give me more functions but for now this is bugging me a lot.
Thanks in advance,
Miro

@meheehee: IN free theme at current stage it don’t have separate DIV to hide it through CSS. I will ask to add this in future update.

For now either you have to hide whole text or you have to edit that functions by building child theme.

Yes, Pro theme has that option.

aa, ok! makes sense now.
thanks Sakin!

Hi Sakin, I seem to have no control over the aspect ratio of my my featured post images. So the bottom of the slider section moves up and down it fades from post to post. I need it to stay static so people can read my message below it. Have you encountered this problem and can it be fixed? Can it be fixed in the pro theme?

Thanks
David

*as it fades from post to post*

@davidgoorevitch: The Featured Post Slider take the Featured Image, Title and Excerpt Content from the post. So you need to manage this accordingly or you can add CSS to make the fixed height for desktop view. Send me your site URL and then I will check in.

Thanks Sakin, I think I want the fixed height solution. you can see it at http://restaurantevents.ca

@davidgoorevitch: Can you try adding in the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
@media screen and (min-width: 961px) { #slider-wrap { height: 400px !important; } }

[davidgoorevitch]

You are just awesome!!! Thank you Sakin!ging. This is the most important problem. However, The image ratios are still changing. I’ve even tried using a square image for the “fresh cocktail ideas” “featured image” but it still comes out letterbox. The winter shot is the same dimension as the portrait of the guy at BLU but those two images get cropped. They’re not squeezed – they look normal – but with the top and bottom cropped out. ??

*Sakin* ging?

@davidgoorevitch: For image ration see our theme instruction page http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-box/. It’s clearly mentioned image size as 644px width and 320px height for Featured Post slider. So, you need to upload the image of at least that size. If you upload image below that size then it will publish your original image. But if you upload image exact that size or above then it will crop to exact dimension and fit in your slider.

Thanks Sakin. I’ll try it again.

[davidgoorevitch]

OK, now I get it. If I want to keep the photo ratio I have to upload at 320 px height. I didn’t really think that through when I first went through it. Thanks for your help.
