Hello La Lila,

Removing the theme’s default footer text is not available in free themes.
However,
To edit any theme files, please build child theme first. You shouldn’t edit any theme files directly, as when you update the theme, all your edits will be reverted back to original. So, to me safe always build child theme, you can download the sample child theme here and then you could use this function in your child theme’s function.php to unhook the whole footer text:

function unhook_functions() {
remove_action( 'clean_journal_footer','catchresponsive_get_footer_content',110);
}
add_action( 'init', 'unhook_functions' );

but if you only want to edit the footer text and remove the theme author’s default credits, you will have to upgrade to pro, you can see all the features of the PRO version here

Hello,
The images like the featured images/ Featured post images are not cropped by css but their size are defined by the theme itself. Meaning If you upload The image as a featured image for a post the Function file re sizes the image according to the given parameters not by css.

Hope you understood,
Thankyou

Hello,
Are you sure the website is built on Catch Adaptive?
I did a little research and website seems to be built on twentyten theme by wordpress not the catch Adaptive Theme.

Hello again ,

To edit any theme files, please build child theme first. You shouldn’t edit any theme files directly, as when you update the theme, all your edits will be reverted back to original. So, to me safe always build child theme, you can download the sample child theme from here

Then you have to remove your site branding and your search form
for that you can insert the below code in the functions.php of your child theme.

function unhook_clean_journal_functions() {
  remove_action( 'clean_journal_header', 'clean_journal_site_branding', 60);
   remove_action( 'clean_journal_header', 'clean_journal_header_right', 70);
}
add_action( 'init', 'unhook_clean_journal_functions' );

And after that for the site logo you can insert the below given css code form the custom css option given by the theme. It is located in Dashboard => Appearance => Customize => Theme Options => Custom CSS Options.

#masthead {
background: url(‘http://placehold.it/120×120&text=image1’) no-repeat center;
}

But If you do not want the logo, do not put the above custom css.
hope it works,
regards,
bplv

you are welcome here any time

🙂

hello again,

could you please post a link to your website if possible?
and please specify that do you want to remove the area with the search completely or want to “squeeze ” the white space?

hello ,
Are you still facing this problem?
From the look of it, your website doesn’t seem to have the problem now.
But if you do have any problem you can post your queries any time.

Regards,
