Hi @nonno-jhon:
Can you check if https://catchthemes.com/demo/catch-responsive-pro has the same problem in your phone?

Hi Roland,
This is strange. Usually the directory of a theme remains same even if it is different version. You need to do following for me:
1. Share your server’s wp-content/theme folder structure. Screenshot will be fine
2. Point our the parent theme
3. Share your child theme’s functions.php file
4. Share your child theme’s styles.css header Just this part:
Just this part:

/*
 Theme Name:   Twenty Fifteen Child
 Theme URI:    http://example.com/twenty-fifteen-child/
 Description:  Twenty Fifteen Child Theme
 Author:       John Doe
 Author URI:   http://example.com
 Template:     twentyfifteen
 Version:      1.0.0
 License:      GNU General Public License v2 or later
 License URI:  http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
 Tags:         light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
 Text Domain:  twenty-fifteen-child
*/

Let me know how these are.

Hi @rolandallen,
It depends on the customization you have made on the child theme. If they are minor, there should be no effect. Most of the time, child themes are not affected so I am guessing it will happen in your case too. Just update the parent theme and child theme will use that.

Let me know if the changes you made in child theme disrupts when updating the parent theme and I can help you further.

Hi @banno2000,
It is possible. Please follow following steps:
1. Create a new post or edit an existing one
2. On the post edit screen, click on the screen options tab on the top right and then select excerpt.

3. This will display an excerpt meta box below your post editor. You can now add any text in this box, and it will be used as the excerpt for the post.

The post boxes are just too big, please help me adjust the size of the post boxes in home page.
* The post boxes adjust to the content. You can reduce the content to reduce box size. To reduce excerpt length, view instructions here: https://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-box-pro/#excerpt-option

Please help me place an ad below the header image pleae…

* For this, you will need some CSS and PHP knowledge. If you are comfortable with this, I can help you further. If not, you need to hire a customzier.
You will need to create a child theme first. The instructions for child theme are here: http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/. After you have created a child theme, you need to provide me with the ad image, link and your site url, then I will be able to help you. Please upload the image in your own server and provide me its link.

And by the the social links are in the catch box theme and they are just gray.

I hope my first answer will provide solution for this as well.

Pratik

Let me know when the changes area made.

Hi @chaitea4me,
Theme does not interfere with Permalink Structures. There must be some plugin/setting that is preventing that. Can you post in your server details?

[Pratik]

Hi @justine-kibler,

1. When I set a featured image for my posts and enable the featured header, the featured image appears in the header AND just above the title of the post. I’d like it to just appear in the header – is that possible somehow?
Example: http://www.lostinthemidlands.com/2016/10/10/skydiving-in-queenstown/

You can achieve it in two ways:
1. Just disable the post image for this particular post by going to Edit page of that page, below there are some metabox options as “Fabulous Fluid Pro Options”. Set Single Page/Post Image Layout to Disable Image
2. You can globally disable it on all posts. Goto Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options => Layout Options => Single Page/Post Image Layout and set it to Disabled

2. I’d like to change the color scheme of the comment box on my posts to match the rest of my site but can’t find the color options to change it?
Example: http://www.lostinthemidlands.com/2014/02/23/libreria-acqua-alta/

We do not have color options for it. But I can provide you with Custom CSS to make it somewhat work. Try following CSS code in Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options => Custom CSS box:

/* Background and color of main comment section */
#comments {
    background: #383838;
    color: #ffffff;
}

/* Color of main comment title */
#comments .comments-title {
    color: #ffffff;
}

/* Color of Comment Authors text */
.comment-meta .fn a {
    color: #ffffff;
}

/* Background Color of sub-comment */
.comment-list .children li {
    background-color: #383838;
}

You can change the hex color values as you want.

3.
Try following custom CSS code:

#per-slide-template .cycle-pager-active::after {
    background-color: transparent;
}

Let me know how it goes.

Hi @fireflywebs,
Changelog is here: https://catchthemes.com/changelogs/

About changing the menu size, the way you have done it is correct. This is the way to do it.

Hi @fireflywebs,
You have set excerpt(summary) mode in Appearance=> Theme Options=> Layout Options=> Content Layout. This will show excerpt instead of the content, and all HTML tags like links are removed from excerpt.

To achieve a larger image link effect, you can do following:
Option 1
1. Set Content Layout to Full Content Display/Full Content With Featured Image
2. Bear in mind this will show all the content in blog pages
3. Then control the content by adding more quicktag. To add a more quicktag in your post, put your cursor where you want to end the excerpted content of your post and click the more quicktag button. quicktags are the little buttons found above the editing window in your Administration > Post > Add New Post. They include bold, italic, links, and others, and the famous more.
https://codex.wordpress.org/images/8/8c/posteditor_more_button_text.jpg
It will insert a code at that point that looks like this:

and I told him that he should get moving or I'd be on him like a limpet.  He looked at me with shock on his face and said
<!--more-->

The rest of the post continues in the editing window, but when viewed on the non-single/non-permalink web page such as archives, categories, front page, and searches, the post is shown as an excerpt to the more point.

Option 2
* Reduce amount of text in excerpt
1. Go to Appearance=> Customzie=> Theme Options=> Excerpt / More Tag Setting
2. Change More Tag Text and Excerpt length(words) to desired value. Make sure your content has more words than Excerpt length or the Continue Reading options will not show up.

I hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.

Regards,
Pratik

@rms: If the options reset when changing from Theme Options, then it looks like it is your server issue. Some server block saving HTML data. I am afraid this is the case. Customizer handles options differently(by encoding and decoding), so this will not be a problem there. You can use Customizer as it has all the features of Theme Options and further, live preview. We will depreciate/remove theme options in the future.

@venus: You can reset your settings to default by going to Appearance=> Customize=> Reset All Settings =>Check to reset all settings to default
Please bear in mind that all your settings will be lost
I cannot understand your second question. If you switched theme, then switch back to previous theme, your settings/options will be there. Save it somewhere in notepad or other text editors and then reuse it.

Pratik
