hi @ShoreBeing,
To increase footer menu font size, you can add following CSS code in Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options => Custom CSS box:

#menu-footer-menu a {
    font-size: 25px; /* Increase or decrease 25 to desired number */
    font-weight: bold; /* Remove this line to remove bold effect */
}

You can increase/decrease the size by editing the font-size attribute number(in code 25px). The font-weight attribute makes the text bold. You can remove the line if you do not want to be bold.

Let me know how it works out.

Hi @rohit,
There is no exact size for header image in Catch Everest theme. What you can do is skip the cropping when you add the header image.

Recommended size is: 1140px width

Hi @Alex,
Yes, you are right, the Featured Slider only has those options. You can use child theme to customize it, but since you have already replaced it with a plugin, I am going to skip that part.

Let me know if there is anything else. Have a nice day.

Hi @marga,

Although pagespeed insight is a good way to view site info, it is nearly impossible for a theme to get 90%. You can check google.com for page speed and it will only get about 78 and 92 on mobile and desktop.

There are a lot of other issues to take into consideration as well like server(You will need a dedicated server), plugins, images optimization, etc.

If you check our demo site: https://catchthemes.com/demo/catch-responsive/ you will get around 65 and 84 in mobile and desktop respectively. This is mainly due to js and css from plugins like jetpack, contact form 7, wp page navi, etc.

These kinds of tests are not 100% accurate. So relying in them 100% is not recommended.

Let me know if you have any queries.

Hi @DMP Lakshitha,

This is achievable but will require you to do a bit of customization via child theme. The details for child theme is here. Then you need to add following code in the child theme’s functions.php file and add footer menu:

/**
 * Remove Footer Menu from its current position to site generator area 
 *
 */
function catchevolution_move_footer_menu() {
	remove_action( 'catchevolution_after_footer_sidebar', 'catchevolution_footer_menu', 10 );
	add_action( 'catchevolution_site_generator', 'catchevolution_footer_menu', 11 );
}
add_action( 'init', 'catchevolution_move_footer_menu' );

What this will do is remove the footer menu from its current position and shift it between social icons and footer copyright section.

After you do this, ping me here again and i will provide you with CSS codes required to make the menu and footer copyright center because I need to see it live before giving you the CSS codes.

Let me know after you have done following steps

Hi @husker,
To make parent menu inactive when child menu is active, you can add following CSS code in Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options => Custom CSS box:

.catchresponsive-nav-menu .current-menu-item > a, 
.catchresponsive-nav-menu .current-menu-ancestor > a, 
.catchresponsive-nav-menu .current_page_item > a, 
.catchresponsive-nav-menu .current_page_ancestor > a, 
.sidebar-header-right .widget_nav_menu .current-menu-item > a 
{
    background-color: #cc0c2f;
    color: #fff;
}

Let me know how it goes.

Hi @King Tao,

I am not sure what you mean by classification of words. Can you post in with reference to your site URL?

Hi @Sanket,

1. How can I limit the number of posts on the slider. I want the latest 5 posts to display on the slider and not the older ones.
* The slider in free version has option to show the number of posts but not to show the latest post. Simple Catch Pro version has a Featured Category Slider, with which you can achieve what you want. Other features in pro version can be found here.

2. Is Simple Catch a responsive theme or not?
* Unfortunately, Simple Catch Theme is not responsive. You can use any other theme from our themes(including free ones) and it will be responsive.

3. How can I reduce the size of Featured Image Slider. I want to reduce height of the slider.
* To achieve this, you will need to do some customization via child theme. For details on child theme, you can go here. Then in the child theme’s functions.php file, add following code:

function simple_catch_change_image_size() {
   add_image_size( 'slider', 976, 313, true);
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'simple_catch_change_image_size', 11 );

You can change the width: 976px and height 313px to the size you want. After this, you need to regenerate the thumbnails. For that, install Regenerate Thumbnail Plugin and follow its instructions.

4. Can you recommend a compatible Call Now button plugin for this theme? The ones I searched on WP are not compatible with Some Catch.
I am not sure If I can recommend a plugin. You can search for plugins in WordPress.org plugins repo.

Hi @husker,

I am assuming your site is http://bayareahuskers.org/wp/.

I looked at the site and the line breaks are occurring after words and not between.

Can you let me know which device you have looked at?

Hi DMP Lakshitha,

I looked at the site and it looks like you have added the menu to where you want using Footer Widgets.

Is this problem solved?

Please let me know.

HI Erica,
– can I choose some fixed images to show there? like the demo one but with pics I choose
* This is only possible if you upgrade to Clean Box Pro. Pro version has a Featured Image Slider, with which you can show custom images. Other features in pro version can be found here

– how do I prevent the featured image of a post from showing on top of the title on the home page? (if at all possible)
You can remove featured image by two ways.
1. By Going to Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options => Archive Content Layout and selecting Show Full Content (No Featured Image) option. However, this will show the full content rather than the excerpt.
2. You can only remove the image and then then show excerpt too. But for this you will need to do some customization via child theme. For this, you need to do a bit of customization via child theme. First, you need to add the child theme for Clean Box. The details for child theme is here.
Then, in the child theme’s functions.php file, add following code:

/**
 * Template for Featured Image in Archive Content
 *
 * Override Parent theme's Template for Featured Image in Archive Content clean_box_archive_content_image to disable content image
 */
function clean_box_archive_content_image() {
	return;
}

Hi Erica,
For to amend the width of the 3 columns in the footer and have text in a “text” widget to show in italics, you can add following CSS in Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options => Custom CSS box:

#supplementary #first,
#supplementary #third {
    width: 330px
}
#supplementary #second {
    font-style: italic;
    width: 496px;
}

}
add_action( 'init', 'clean_box_remove_site_branding_hook' );

There are two function. First one overrides the Parent theme function to show site title and tagline above primary menu.

The second function removes the current site title.

For changing the font of site title, you can add following CSS in Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options => Custom CSS box:

.site-title {
    font-family: "Times New Roman", Georgia, Serif;
}

You can change font-family to your desired font. To know more about font family, you can visit this link.

Let me know if this solves your problem or not.

Hi Erica,

For sidebar and post space, add following code to Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options => Custom CSS box:
`
#main {
width: 810px;
}
.sidebar-primary section{
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
‘

For image in text widget, you need to know a bit of Html. You can add it by adding htnl code. Its details are here.

Let me know how this works out.

Pratik

HI @marga,

If there are small changes, it is recommended to use Custom CSS from theme options. If there are a lot of changes(like revamping the whole site), then the CSS from editor should be used.

Installing both Catch Web Tools and our theme should not have a problem with Custom CSS, unless they both have different CSS on the same element. In which case, there might be conflicts where only one will work.

If it has worked, then there is no need for backend access. In future, if this possesses problems, then we can look into it again.

Let me know if you have anything else.

Regards,
Pratik

[Pratik]

HI @marga,

It should have worked, unless it is enqueued before the parent theme css(you can see it in functions.php file) or if any other source overrides the CSS.

Custom CSS is pushed at the furthest header as possible, so that there are no conflicts. Maybe this is the reason, but I cannot say for sure unless I see all the files.

Regards,
Pratik
