Sorry, I can do a screenshot on this tablet. If you look at http://www.vintagevagabonds.net/?p=1237, there is a pair of pictures labelled Nijo Castle gardens – it’s a gallery with the caption attached to the left hand image. Ideally I’d like the caption centred across the 2 photos, but if that’s not possible, left aligned under the left photo, like the others on the page.

Thanks for the other fix.

Just edit the post and choose the layout in the editor screen. If the option isn’t showing, click on Screen Options at top right and ensure Catch Evolution Options is ticked.

Excellent, thank you so much. I probably will buy the pro version later on, when I have more time to play with it and something more than a tablet.

That’s really disappointing. I’m just a complete novice hobby blogger working from a tablet in a hotel room – creating a child theme is beyond me at this stage. Maybe after I return home in a year or two.

I’m going to have to change themes then. Can you please tell me which of Catch’s other free themes is most like Evolution in the sense that it will support (through custom css or plug-ins if necessary):-

– blog archive shows excerpt with featured image thumbnail
– featured image is not displayed at the top when viewing the post
– randomised header images
– main menu appears below the header image
– options for 2 column (sidebar on right) and full width content
– responsive layout
– can disable comments on home page
– can have breadcrumb trail instead of page title
– default font is non-serif
– custom css
– can have logo instead of site title

PS I don’t know if you’re aware, but the ‘featured image into header’ doesn’t appear to work on posts that were created in a previous theme before Evolution was activated. That’s why I installed it in the first place – this feature only became apparent later when I created new posts.

Thanks

Sorry – tired eyes and a tiny screen. That’s fixed it, thanks

I don’t want the featured image to take over the header in posts. It may be OK on a desktop, but on a tablet it creates a disproportionately deep header image – you can’t even see all the image at once as you scroll down through it to the text.

I want to have a featured image show with the excerpt on the archive page, but keep my regular header image on all pages.

Still no change, sorry

That’s worked for the breadcrumbs, thanks, but it hasn’t made any difference to the categories list I’m afraid.

Sorry, ignore my previous – that fix doesn’t work. Is there any way of disabling this feature through custom CSS please?

Ah, I’ve realised that it does it still in new posts. However, it appears that if you hit Publish without setting a featured image, the select the featured image and hit Update, then you get your featured image in archives lists but it doesn’t jump into the header when you view the post. Phew! Because it was really, really annoying – none of my featured images are a suitable shape for a header. It’s still a bit of a pain though, because if you make any changes to the post you have to go through the whole rigmarole of resetting it to draft and starting again.

I switched to Responsive to try that out (my site is very new), then switched by to Evolution because I really prefer it, and the issue doesn’t occur now – not sure what’s different. Thanks anyway.

I have the same issue – my featured images are often in portrait orientation so are totally the wrong shape for a header. The header ends up being enormous and then you have to scroll a long way to get to the text – it’s especially inconvenient on a tablet.

I want a featured image so that it shows in the archive with the excerpts, but I’m quite happy for it not to appear at all on the post page, rather than have this huge header. Is this possible? I love the theme, but if I can’t resolve this I’ll have to ditch it 🙁
