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.
