Gi’day Sakin, no dramas – got it sorted – child themes sorted – I just had to figure out the mechanics of how the various catchresponsive functions worked and how and when they were called……. it was the functions associated watch the catch_responsive_featured_slider() or more specifically the slide overlay text that I needed to sort out which I found to be constructed in the function catchresponsive_image_slider().

Thanks for your assistance in pointing me in the right direction.

….sorry – please ignore question above….. just realised that I have inadvertently de-activated the child theme…… operator error – oops!!

Thanks Sakin.

I want to change it programmatically as I was thinking of updating it based on an external (legacy, non wordpress) database where the featured content is changed by a proprietary external application.

I am new to wordpress, but very happy with complex custom web development – proficient in php, javascript, html, css etc. – I am currently trying to navigate my way around the whole wordpress theme customisation regime.

I actually have another question, (although I think your response may have helped me) – I would really like to be able to include some php/html in the title and content that overlay the featured slider. My reason… I would like to make that a search box where the user can specify few search options…… A hovering search box over the featured slider will work well in the application I am developing.

At the moment I have done a bit if debugging with the theme and can see where the catch_responsive_featured_slider() function is called when the featured page is customised, but I can’t (yet) see what actually executes the html constructed during the customisation.

I was keen to work out how to write a a bit of child theme code to override the default customer slider title and content display.

….but – I suspect your last post may give me a clue….. ie. the catch_responsive_featured_content_display() may be where I should go and investigate…?

Thanks.
