@spfitzgerald: There is problem with the css that you have added in custom css box. There is extra curly bracket.
Please fix the below css
#site-logo {padding-top: 5px; }}
with the following
#site-logo {padding-top: 5px; }

After that there is following css in your custom css box will work fine. You might need to change the passing as per you need.
#header-right { padding-top: 5px; }

@BusyB: Your case is different and you are using Simple Catch theme. So, I guess you are trying to remove the grey header background. For that you can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#header { background-image: none; }

@spfitzgerald: I just check in your site and found that you have following CSS in “Custom CSS” box.
#hgroup-wrap { padding-left: 2px;padding-top: 0;padding-top:3rem; padding-bottom: 0; }

So, you can edit that css and change the padding top 0 so it will be as below:
#hgroup-wrap { padding-top: 0; padding-bottom: 0; padding-left: 2px; }

And further you have following css in Custom CSS box.
#site-logo {padding-top: 0; padding-top: 3rem;}

Change that to
#site-logo {padding-top: 5px; }

and then add the following css
#header-right { padding-top: 5px; }

@kat22: WoW!!! that’s a lot of questions. I think you should consider hiring a customizer.

1. How can I reduce the padding above the social icons and under the menu?
— Add the following css in “Appearance => theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

#header-right, hgroup {
    padding-top: 10px;
}
#hgroup-wrap {
    padding-bottom: 10px;
}

2. How can I reduce the background, the white color around my site?
— There is no white color around your site.

2. How can I change the color of the menu (if scrolling over and if selected) into #FF0080? And the font?
— Add the following css in “Appearance => theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

.header-sidebar .widget ul.menu li:hover > a, .header-sidebar .widget ul.menu a:focus, .header-sidebar .widget ul.menu .current-menu-item > a, .header-sidebar .widget ul.menu .current-menu-ancestor > a, .header-sidebar .widget ul.menu .current_page_item > a, .header-sidebar .widget ul.menu .current_page_ancestor > a {
    background-color: #FF0080;
}

3. I would like to have only 1 featured content on the homepage (welcome to my website + intro text), is that possible? I can only reduce the number of columns to 3 and I keep 4 featured contents.
— There is featured call Homepage Heading in “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage Headline Options”, then you can add the welcome intro text there. You can remove that Homepage Featured content from “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage Featured Content Options”. Also if you only want only 1 column then just fill in detail in Featured Content #1 and leave other empty.

4. And last…(for now :-)) how can I make the text broader on the page ‘about me’?
Sorry, “The Full Width, No Sidebar” layout is only available in Catch Kathmandu Pro version. See more details about Pro version at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/

@bschell: I have added in Catch Kathmandu Child theme style.css, you can copy the code from https://gist.githubusercontent.com/catchthemes/10444389/raw/2c2b33fb7bdd90bf01e492efb057b311d1c416d4/style.css

[Sakin]

@bschell: That is Homepage Headlines. You can either disable it or change it from “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage Headline Options”.

For more check out theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu/

@LEGAGNEUR: Sorry in Catch Box Pro theme we don’t have sidebar in 404 page. This wil be complicated to achieve it. You need to build child theme and copy 404.php file to your child theme and then add sidebar and then edit css. So, I recommend to hire a customizer.

[Sakin]

@spfitzgerald: Hum… You are using Catch Kathmandu Free theme which only have option to use Featured Post Slider or Featured Category Slider, which highlight your post in your Slider. So, there is no option to remove the link. To add the image slider without the link, you need Featured Image Slider. This option is only there in Catch Kathmandu Pro theme. See details at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/

@Sakin: Sorry I don’t get it can you post in your site URL so that I can check in.

[Sakin]

@Cybersnaby: Well I cannot do anything without looking at it. Maybe you can upload in any of your demo site. I can suggest you the css. Can you try following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

#header-right { max-width: 541px; }
@media screen and (max-width: 560px) { #header-right { max-width: 100%; } }

[Sakin]

@talkleft: Sorry every theme is design different way. But I don’t get what you want. Maybe a screenshot of what you want will be better. For advance customization we recommend hiring customizer.

But if want it similar like here with just quicktags and remove the comment label then you can add the following css”

.comment-form-comment label { display: none; }
.quicktags-toolbar { padding-left: 0; }

Also to your note. The css for those tags are added from http://premium.talkleft.com/wp-content/plugins/tinypass/legacy/css/tinypass.css

@kat22: You can change the color of site title and tagline from “Appearance => Header”

For font family and size you can add in css in “Appearance => Theme Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

/* For Site Title */
#site-title {
    font-size: 24px;
    font-family: sans-serif,Arial;
}
/* For Site Tagline */
#site-description {
    font-size: 14px;
    font-family: sans-serif,Arial;
}

If you want to do custom font and design for header text then I recommend you create the header text as image with the format you want and then upload it from “Appearance => Header”.

@Jeff: The slider that is showing default is demo slider and I have been telling you that in Free Version, you can replace by adding Post ID in Featured Post Slider. But if you want Image Slider then you need to upgrade to pro version. I have already given you instruction. But something is not working on your side.

You can take a check out youtube video. You can skip directly to 21 minutes, where he shows how to add post with featured image and then add in the Post Slider. The only different in this video is, it has Featured Slider option under Appearance tab whereas in Catch Evolution Theme, you have at “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Slider Options”.

@Cybersnaby: Can you post in your site URL with the image. So, that I can check in your image size and how it can be adjusted.

[Sakin]

@sdupre: That is why I gave you instruction that
* either you have to active Catch Everest Free theme, delete pro version and install like new theme
* or you can install plugin Easy Theme and Plugin Upgrades. This plugin will help you to overwrite it. After you install and active this plugin. You can go to “Appearance => Themes” and Add new => Uploads. Then browse the zip file and you will see the setting there Upgrade existing theme? select Yes and then click on Install Now.

@alissaa: Are you checking in IE8. As when I check in IE11, 10 and 9. It’s fine. Can you try adding in the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

#main-slider .entry-header
#main-slider .entry-title, 
#main-slider .entry-title span
#main-slider .entry-content {
  background-color: transparent;
}

[Sakin]

@Jeff: Free version only have post slider and I told you that the slider script will take the “Featured Images” updated in the post. So, you have to create Post and upload the Featured Image. See this in featured image http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/ and see this screenshot http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329948788/.

So, after you create post with featured image. You can just add that post ID in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Slider Options”.

But if you want Image Slider where you just upload the image then you need to upgrade to Pro version and use Featured Image Slider. See the details at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution-pro/

[Sakin]

@sdupre: If you haven’t customize any core theme files like style.css, functions.php, index.php and so on then you don’t have to worry about Update.

It doesn’t work with directly adding in the zip file as the theme already exist. You can just activate Catch Everest Free theme and then delete your old version of Catch Everest Pro theme and upload it.

If you still worry then you can use Catch Updater plugin. This does it for you.

[Sakin]

@Jeff: Did you check in the Topic “How to Add Featured Post Slider?” in Theme Instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution/.

1. First you need to create Post and add in Featured Image in your Post.
2. Then you can add that post ID in “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Slider Options”.
See the screenshot on how to add in Post id http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798329984427/
