@vaskrupp: First when you do the heavy customization you need to build child theme and work on it. This will prevent it from loosing your customizing work.

I check in your site and you have already done so much so customization without considering the “Responsive Design” css. So, you need to redo most of the css with the considering custom css.

[Sakin]

@Piirus: You can add the following css in “Theme Options -> Theme Options -> Custom CSS” in your WordPress dashboard.

.entry-meta .no-padding-left {
display: none;
}

@UndeadStooge: You can remove the comments box at the bottom of the different pages. To do you can edit your page and then you will see the “Discussion” box where you can just uncheck “Allow comments” and “Allow trackbacks and pingbacks on this page.” If you are confused then you can see this http://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments/

But to change the words in the comments. You need to know about the php coding. Build child theme and then change it in comments.php

@UndeadStooge: You can add the following css in “Theme Options -> Theme Options -> Custom CSS” in your WordPress Dashboard.

I see that there is issue in site logo as it is overlapping the logo. For the logo overlap, use the following css:

#branding .logo-wrap {
max-width: 100%;
}


For the grey header, use the following css:

#branding {
background: url("images/bg-header.jpg") repeat-x scroll left bottom transparent;
}


But I don’t understand about the what you want to do with the footer.

@skistud33: It would be great if you could send me your site URL. So, that I can check in the issue. As if you see the demo site http://catchthemes.com/demo/simplecatch-pro/ it is working fine. Let me know and I will suggest you the solution.

[Sakin]

@Elisabetta: I just check in and it is working for me in the latest version. Can you send me the side access through http://catchthemes.com/contact-us/ . I need to check in your site configuration as I cannot replicate the problem in my server.

[Sakin]

@Piirus: It’s really strange how you cannot get in. Try log out and then log in to your account and see it.

[Sakin]

@Piirus: purchasing pro theme will give you access to private forum. No need to buy membership to get forum access. I see that you have access to private forum. You need to log in and then post it. If there is still problem then you need to send me your password through http://catchthemes.com/contact-us/

[Sakin]

@thewahm: Sorry I am bit confused what do you mean by under every post. Is it under every single post or in the homepage/archive page under every post.

So if it is under every single post then you can check single.php

[Sakin]

@Elisabetta: Please upgrade to latest version and check it. If there is still problem then let me know it. I need to check in your site.

[Sakin]

@vosjoe: Just upgrade to Simple Catch Pro theme and there is footer editor where you can change the footer text.

[Sakin]

@Piirus: that’s great that you have purchased the Simple Catch Pro theme. But for those who want to know I would like to highlight the features:

1. Simple Catch Theme is build in HTML4 and CSS2 with static layout whereas Simple Catch Pro Theme is build in HTML5, CSS3 and Responsive layout.

2. Featured Slider: Simple Catch only have Featured Post Slider where to use the slider you need to assign post ID. But in Simple Catch Pro there is option between Featured Post and Featured Image Slider. If you choose featured image slider you can assign image, tittle, description and links manually.

3. Simple Catch Theme has 3 default layouts whereas Simple Catch Pro Theme has 5 default layouts.

4. Simple Catch Pro has custom footer editor where you can edit the footer text.

5. Simple Catch Pro has adspace widget for adding advertisement in the sidebar.

[Sakin]

@Piirus: Looks like you have lot of customization to be made in your theme. So, it’s better you use our service “Hire a Customizer” where you send all the details of changes and also the draft layout design.

[Sakin]

@rumyan: if you want to make changes to the theme then I recommend you to build child theme and then add in the changes there in child theme. If you make changes directly in the theme core files then it will be reverted back after you make the updates.

You need to replace the below code
[php]
/**
* This function to display featured posts on homepage header
*
* @get the data value from theme options
* @displays on the homepage header
*
* @useage Featured Image, Title and Content of Post

global $post;
//delete_transient( ‘simplecatch_sliders’ );

$options = $simplecatch_options_settings;

$postperpage = $options[ ‘slider_qty’ ];

if( ( !$simplecatch_sliders = get_transient( ‘simplecatch_sliders’ ) ) && !empty( $options[ ‘featured_slider’ ] ) ) {
echo ‘<!– refreshing cache –>’;

set_transient( ‘simplecatch_sliders’, $simplecatch_sliders, 86940 );

echo $simplecatch_sliders;

} // simplecatch_sliders
[/php]

Then you need to clear the cache by making changes on any theme setting in your slider.

But if you want to use simple image slider with your own link, title and description. Everything is optional then you can upgrade to Simple Catch Pro theme.

@sumit.nagi: Nice site and thanks for your feedback. Yes we will add new features soon. This will include different sidebar for home and other pages and also there will be footer sidebar like in our catch box themes. But we are not in plan right now to add header widgets.

So, it’s all your deal. Right now we are offering introductory price which will be over soon and will be on full price.

Cheers 🙂

@yagoleon: You can change any size image to the logo. But then you need to add in custom css in “Custom CSS” box in your Theme Options. As the max height set for the logo is 90px.

So go to Appearance -> Theme Options -> Custom CSS and add in the following css:

h1#site-title a img {
height: auto;
max-height: inherit;
max-width: 250px;
}


[Sakin]

@ntillman: You can add and remove any widgets in Sidebar through Appearance -> Widgets in your WordPress Dashboard.

@TJBraatveit: Simple Catch and Simple Catch Pro there have a lot on difference. The directory is also different. So, you have to set style.css in the child theme as below:

/*
Theme Name: Simple Catch Pro Child
Theme URI: http://catchthemes.com/themes/simple-catch-pro/
Description: Child theme for the Simple Catch Pro theme
Author: Catch Themes
Author URI: http://catchthemes.com
Template: simple-catch-pro
*/
@import url("../simple-catch-pro/style.css");


[Sakin]

@smgrayson8 : No problem. You are doing great. You are using Simple Catch Pro theme which is different then simple catch theme. So, for this you can use the css as below:

#branding {
background: none #000;
}


[Sakin]

@dpreiser: You are using simple catch pro. So for this you need to add the following css:

#header-content .searchform {
display: none;
}
