Hi @[email protected],

Your site seems down so couldn’t check your site. It seems you’ve changed the color for menu in desktop version only. There is another element for the menu for mobile version you’ve to add the CSS rule to that element too.
It is the ul with id=> “header-mobile-menu-block”.

Add the CSS as below

#header-mobile-menu-block li a {
    color: #ff5a00;
}

Note: Add rule to this element as you desire.

Mahesh

Hi @husker,

It seems, you’ve put the Game Countdown widget in the “Footer Area 1”. Please check the widgets are in the right places in admin section.
And what updates have you made to the main theme’s slider?
The changes main theme should be same on the child theme too, unless you’ve modified it to something else in the child theme.

Hope you understand, let me know further.

Regards,
Mahesh

Hi @witgi,

Yes, no problem. Please email it to me @ [email protected].
If you have just modified the theme for secondary menu hack and changed nothing else I recommend you to install a fresh copy of the theme again and check.

Mahesh

Hi @husker,

The above mentioned code is all correct. It is working fine as I tested it.
Could you please post in you site url?

Regards,
Mahesh

[Mahesh]

Hi @LiminalLLC,

The issue is not because of the theme itself. It is simply because of the size of the images ( all 3 images are more than 1MB ). We recommend you to optimize the image size. Your idea of changing images from png to jpg is perfect.
The recommended size for the slider is:
Slider
Width: 1920px
Height: 800px

Hi @ShayC,

The above mentioned feature is not allowed in WordPress repository and falls in plugin territory. I recommend you to use a suitable plugin from WordPress Plugin Repository

Hi @Olivier,

Thank you for using Catch Box Pro.

The theme as number of sidebars. Here is some a brief info on which page displays which sidebar.
Homepage Sidebar( if active ) => Display in Homepage
Archive Sidebar (if active ) => Display in Archive
Page Sidebar (if active ) => Display in Page
Post Sidebar (if active ) => Display in Post
Main Sidebar => Displays by default.

If no sidebar is assigned except main sidebar, all page will display main sidebar.

Hope this helps you.

Mahesh

Hi @husker,

Thank you for your appreciation.
Please visit this SITE for more details on how to create a child theme.

Have a nice day!

Hi @edfrancis001@,

Its a little odd on how you get the page blank. I recommend you to make a fresh WordPress installation and install the theme and check again.

Let me know if the issue persists.

Mahesh

Hi @Lars,

This is out of the theme support scope. For this you have to modify the author.php in child theme and put the redirect code if nothing is found i.e. replace the message code with redirect code.

Regards,
Mahesh

[Mahesh]

Hi @pips,

For the above changes, go to “Dashboard=> Appearance=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS” box and add the following CSS:

@media screen and ( max-width: 480px ){
	.site{
		width: 100%;
	}
}

Regards,
Mahesh

[Mahesh]

Hi @Wan,

Have you made any changes to the “catchbase-featured-content” image size in the theme. Because I checked by uploading the featured image with size 1200×720 and 600×360, both produces the featured content image of 447×225.

Please check if the following code exists in catch-base/inc/catchbase-core.php line 116.

Regards,
Mahesh

[Mahesh]

Hi @Lars,

The text message being displayed is from archive.php instead of 404.php because in your site a user named “user” may exist. But there is no posts by that user. That is why when you visit http://energyfaculty.com/author/user/, the user exists which doesn’t give 404 error but cannot find any post by that user resulting displaying the not found message from archive.php.

Regards,
Mahesh

[Mahesh]

Hi Wan,

The featured image is the cropped image (cropped to 400 * 225 by theme). The cropping size depends upon the image size and aspect ratio. It is recommended to use large images having aspect ratio 16:9.

I saw you’ve modified some style so the width of featured content is a little narrower. You have CSS as below:

#featured-content.layout-three .hentry {
}

which should be (by default):

#featured-content.layout-three .hentry {
    width: 386px;
}

If you want to make any changes, please use child theme. Further details on creating child theme can be found HERE. It is not a good way to modify the theme core files and on every updates you’ll lose all the changes to it.

Let me if this helps with your issue.

Regards,
Mahesh

[Mahesh]

Hi @Lars,

Yes, for all not found items in the site, “Page Not Found” message will be displayed as of 404.php file. I you want the custom message for that then copy 404.php from Catch Flames Pro to child theme. Then modify the message as you desired.

Let me know if any problems.

Regards,
Mahesh
