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.

Regards,
Mahesh

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.

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.

	}
}

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

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

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.

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

Hi @Lars,

I hope I understood your issue. Please clarify me if I still didn’t get you.
So you mean to display dynamic 404 page errors? Like No post found for blog error or something like that. I’m afraid it cannot be achieved as you desired. Because for the above mentioned issue we need to figure out whether it is a post/page/archive/user. We cannot get the what user/web-crawler is trying to find, which doesn’t exists in the site.

I hope you understand what I mean.

Regards,
Mahesh

Hi @EirikurVa,

Yes you can also use custom permalinks may be were some errors in custom permalinks which arose the issue. Try again with custom permalinks and let me know.

Hi @Brian,

You can download the theme from WordPress repository. Below is the link for it.
https://wordpress.org/themes/catch-responsive/

I recommend you to use child theme for code changes because you’ll lose all you changes with theme updates.

Mahesh
