Hi conniehum,
There is a option in theme options of simplecatch to remove the gradient. Just go to Appearance->Featured Slider->Slider effect options. You will see Disable slider background effect checkbox, just check it and the gradient is disabled.

Hi narin1975,
Yes you can use the feed redirection in theme option to redirect your feed.Simply paste your feed burner’s feed url in feed redirection input box of catchbox theme option. That’s it you don’t need any extra plugin. whenever you type https://yoursite.com/feed/ you will be redirected to feedburners feed

Hi babyslime,
if you wanted the exact same changes that suns wanted then replacing the above code as I instructed should do the work. I would recommend to download fresh copy of simplecatch and make the changes as prescribed above.It would be easier for us to look into if you could share your site url.

Hi Suns,
There is change log of each version update in readme.txt of simple catch theme. You can see the changes that has been made in each update.

Hi Suns,
Currently Simple Catch theme doesn’t support such features. You have to make a lot of customization if you wish to do so. But In our future update we will be thinking over that.

Hi Zolane,
You can either make your own child theme and change the styles there or you can go to Appearance-> Theme options->Custom css and paste the css code over there.Either way the the changes will not be erased when you update the theme

Hi Suns,
Thanks for using simplecatch theme.If you want to achieve similar to what you are trying to say then i think you have to change the core template file of simple catch which I don’t recommend as the changes will be erased on next update. But if you indeed want so then Go to your simplecatch_function.php file inside functions folder of simplecatch theme.If you are using version 1.3.5.3 then you will find the code below around line 381.

if( $excerpt !='') {$simplecatch_sliders .= the_title( '<span>','</span>', false ).': '.$excerpt;}

just replace above code with this code

$simplecatch_sliders .= the_title( '<span>','</span>', false ).': <a class="readmore" href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '">'.esc_attr( $options[ 'more_tag_text' ] ).'</a>';

then go to Appearance->featured slider->Add slider option and click save to refresh the cache.
Hope this solves the issue

Hi [email protected],
If you want to style the text in slider more differently then you can use custom css option inside your theme option. Just go to Theme options under Appearance menu in your backend. In the Custom CSS style box you can try any css style you like this will overide the default. If you want to change the slider text title then you can copy and paste this code

#slider-wrap .featured-text span { font-size: 18px; font-style:italic; } 

you can change the font-size styles with whatever you like. To change the slider text you can copy this

#slider-wrap .featured-text{ font-size: 15px; font-style:italic; } 

Hope this helps you

Hi Rody Klop,

If you want to change the css then is another option too. Just go to Theme options under Appearance in your back-end. You can paste the CSS in Custom CSS Styles box. This will override the default style

Hi alicetesla,

You have figured out correctly, its the same colon appearing in the front-end slider title. If you don’t want colon to appear in front-end just remove the colon in above code that you have pasted. Then go to featured slider under appearance menu in backend and click save. It will clear the caching. This will do the job but i don’t recommend you to modify the theme core file as your changes will not remain after version update of the theme. In our upcoming version we will try to put an option to remove that colon.

Hi sofsof,

If you have installed any plugins recently try to deactivate it and see if slider if working fine. Or you can deactivate each of your plugin one by one and see if slider is working fine or not. I think one of the plugin might be creating conflict. Hope it solves the issues.

Hi jazzyjane,

It looks like you have edited some code from header.php as i don’t see the search form either on top. It would be better if you download the latest version of simplecatch 1.3.3 and upload it again to see the changes.I am pretty sure that must do the work.

Rabin(Catch Themes)

Hi, Jazzyjane
Thanks for the appreciation.

Social icon shouldn’t be a problem as it is working fine as we tested. Are you using the latest version of Simplecatch i.e. 1.3.3. If not I suggest you to use the latest version. Also while saving the social icon url in theme option in your back-end, Does the social icon address remain in the input box after clicking save or it just disappears. For social icons to be seen in the front-end the url must remain in input box after clicking save in the theme option.

The formatting is not working in homepage because there are unwanted paragraph tag open and closed. Try to delete the whole content and type it by yourself instead of copying and pasting. Also you can switch to HTML mode in the text editor to see unwanted opening and closing paragraph tags like this <p> </p> and remove it. Also It would look better if your secondary title are not using <h2> tag.

Hi kINGslaveofallah,
To add “ad widget’ in catchbox theme just go to widgets menu under Appearance from your backend. You can see a widget with name catchbox Adspace widget. Drag and drop the widget in your sidebar at right side of the screen. You can see there are two options in Catchbox Adspace widget.
Either you can put the ad code if you have any or alternatively you can fill the image url that will appear in your sidebar and also you can fill the link to redirect when clicked in the image. Hope this helps you.

Rabin
