@miha: Since you are using Catch Everest Free theme it only allows you to add Featured Post Slider. But if you upgrade to Catch Everest Pro version then you can add in Featured Image Slider. For more details about Pro version see here http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest-pro/.

Ok now since your using Catch Everest Free version, you will need to use Featured Post Slider to replace the image and text in the default slider. So, follow the steps as below:

1. First create the Post and don’t forget to add in the Featured Image in the post as this image is used in the slider. To add featured image see this http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image

2. Then get the ID of the post. When you edit your post or write a post. you will see the id in your browser address bar. You will also see the post ID in All Posts in WordPress Dashbaord. But if you cannot find it then you can use this plugin to view it http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/catch-ids/

3. Then go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider”. Add in the post id.

So, the Featured Post Slider will take the ID number you have add in to get the Featured Image, Post Title and Post Excerpt text.

@Mirko034: Can you show me your site. Are you using Custom Menu or page menu. If you are using page menu then try in Custom Menu from “Appearance => Menu”. We are also fixing the menu in version 0.2 which is schedule to release anytime as soon as WordPress.org push it live. After this release both page and custom menu will work fine.

@iceman027: This is not a theme related issue it your integration to Disqus problem. If need to ask to Disqus that you have auto sync comment issue and they will help you.

By the way did you export all your existing comments to Disqus. If not then try that.

@cowboy-mike: You can add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box to change the color of Menu in mobile devices
.tinynav option { background-color: #1b4266; color: #fff; }

In Catch Box Free Version you can change the layout only for individual pages through “Page Attribute” box in your edit page. Where you can choose the page template.

But if you upgrade to Catch Box Pro Version then you will be able to choose from 5 different layout for each individual page and post.

See here for more information about Catch Box Pro http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-box-pro/

You too have a nice day.

@karinschultz: You can use our “Simple Catch : Adspace Widget” to add ads in any sidebar you want. This widgets accepts “Ad Code” where you can just paste the ad code from various ads provider like google adsense. Also you can choose to just add in the ads image and links. It’s all optional.

About showing ads to particular pages or post. Why don’t you add the Adspace widgets in any of the Options Sidebar one, or two or three. Then you can choose from your page and post editor to select which site to show. In this way you can show different ads in different pages or same ad in all pages.

The concept of Sidebar is like this:
If you are using Page: It will first look if you have assign any optional sidebar and added widgets, then will look for Page Sidebar and then Main sidebar back as fallback.
Same goes with Post: It will first look if you have assign any optional sidebar and added widgets, then will look for Post Sidebar and then Main sidebar back as fallback.

Yes you can add dummy ads. That is not a problem. We have also used ads in demo site http://catchthemes.com/demo/simplecatch-pro/ where you can see the ad of Catch Responsive Theme.

@justinillig: Can you try adding in the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
.galleryid-133 .gallery .gallery-icon img { margin: 0 auto; }

If this doesn’t work then you might need to considering hiring CSS developer.

@brown2235a: It would have been better if you have posted your site URL. If you are talking about reducing the vertical margins between the widgets in Right Sidebar. Then you can try adjusting the following css and placing it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#secondary .widget { margin-bottom: 50px; }

Note: Please be careful while you adjust the margin, we don’t recommend to adjust it as this theme is responsive design and when you reduce the space in large screen, you need to consider for mobile devices as well.

@ekilko: The main problem is that you are using “No Sidebar” layout in the page which has the layout width of “642px” and will be center but your embed code width is “1000px” that is why is is overflowing to right.

We are releasing the “No Sidebar, Full Width” layout on our upcoming version 2.4 which is schedule to release anytime when WordPress.org review team published it. We have already submitted the update. But for that also you need to lower the width of the embed code as our full width size of site in “978px”

For now what you can do in reduce the width of embed code to “642px” and later after the release of version 2.4 you can increase it to 978px.

@danielgreat: Adding video in your own server will confuse lot of bandwidth of your site and also video will not stream fast. It is best recommended to host your video in CDN server or any video hosting servers like Vimeo or Youtube.

If you are hosting in your own server then you might use plugins like “JW Player for WordPress” or “VideoPress”. We cannot recommends any video plugin as we don’t use much. So, it’s better you search at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

@pensfanatics: Catch Box Pro accepts custom date format. So go to “Settings => General” then in “Date Format” options click on “Custom” and add the date format you like. You can learn about date format from here http://codex.wordpress.org/Formatting_Date_and_Time

For example: you can try g a, j F, Y or any combination your like.

@paulinepkehoe: Which version of Catch Everest are you using it? If you are using latest version then you can move the logo up and down though “Appearance => Theme Options => Header Options => Move Site Title and Description”

[Sakin]

@pensfanatics: Just adjust the color code in following CSS and add it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#slider-wrap .featured-text span { color: #aaa; font-weight: bold; }

@Elisabetta I see that you have added Custom CSS for Facebook which is giving problem. Remove the following CSS from Custom CSS box.
ul.social-profile li.facebook a { background-position: 0 -64px; }

For search, I think you have empty field in “Appearance => Theme Options => Search Text Settings => Search Button’s text”
Also add the following css in “Custom CSS” box
#branding .searchform button { width: auto; }

For gallery looks like image not found. Have you added any plugin for gallery. If yes then check that settings. If not then you must check your image url.

@Bazil Guerrero: You ca hide the author by adding the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
.entry-meta .by-author { display: none; }

There is no option to just show tag and hide all. You can either hide or show the whole footer meta. TO hide add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
footer.entry-meta { display: none; }

@jmott310: Thanks for your appreciation.

Your first issue has been fixed in latest version of Catch Everest Pro theme. So, just upgrade to latest version. After you update, change any value in the Theme Options panel to clear the cache and it will be fine.

Second, and less important to me, is it possible to reposition and/or resize the “Title” and “Content” boxes on the published image? I am running into issues where the text is detracting from the image by covering important portions. I would like to avoid that if possible.
— Yes you can hide it by adding the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#main-slider .entry-container { display: none; }

@pensfanatics: I don’t get it what you mean.

You can use Featured Post Slider to add in the post to the slider, or you can use Featured Category Slider to add latest post from specific category to the slider, or you can use Featured Page Slider to add in the page to the slider, or you can use Featured Image Slider to add Image as the latest post.

@pelliot: Your site looks great and thanks for appreciation.

@impresnet: We have just pushed for review to WordPress.org for upgrade to Catch Everest Free theme but if you are using Pro version then there is update.

[Sakin]

@m.ohare.lyons: Yes I can open the file, thanks.

You can simply upload the large header image in “Appearance => Theme Options => Logo Options => Header logo url” and Check the “Disable Site Title” and “Disable Site Description”

[Sakin]

@impresnet: This is responsive theme so I don’t recommend you to change the space between paragraphs. If you adjust then you have to adjust all the way down to mibile devices.
