First.. I love the Catch Box Pro theme.
This thread was helpful.. in that I didn’t understand what the featured image slider option allowed.. I was going to ask about providing a way to have the featured slider work for both pages and post.
In the meantime, I looked into the Quick Page/Post redirect plug-in.

Then I saw I can accomplish this using the featured image slider – I can link to a page or post. The only problem is that the post you link to cannot be excluded from the home page.
To get around this, I can use the category inclusion option. I create a category called “blog” or “home” and only posts that have this category show up on the home page. Then, I categorize every post with this category unless I am showing it in the featured slider.
Text over image:
In another forum post, someone was asking about text overlayed on the image. I think you may have misunderstood his question (or I misunderstood it). He wanted a way to have the text overlayed on the featured slider image. Not below it the way it does not.
I would like the same thing.. basically a way to position the title and excerpt over the featured image in the slider. It should have a semi-transparent background for readability. Just a thought. For now, I will make that part of the image.
Thanks again.
