Hi Salient

Using the new 5.5 version.

With regards to the menu dropping beneath the logo (when testing on the iPad), I’m thinking it best to have the menu change into the responsive/mobile (name?) earlier. Is this done via css or Javascript? Do I experiment with min and max values here?

Cheers

Hey,

There’s a easier way to handle this with css alone – could you kindly share your URL in regards?

Hi,

It was my understanding that a modal window could be opened by adding class=”pp” to any link. When I do that, the modal dialog opens, but there is an “image not found” error – even though the link is to a page (not an image).

Suggestions?

Hey,

If you’re linking to a website and not an image you’d need to change the link to:

<a class="pp" href="https://www.google.com?iframe=true&width=1000&height=1000">Google</a>

Cheers

Thanks for the help.

You’re welcome :)

Is it possible to use the Visual Composer Front End Editor feature with this theme? Thank you.

Hey – unfortunately not at this time without some custom development

Hi,

A couple of things that I would like to know if they’re possible.

1. On the portfolio grid links there are 4 options to change the project style. The closest one to what I require is the ‘Meta below thumb w links on hover’. However rather than having the link overlay the image I would just like the meta text to be the link to the portfolio item. is this possible?

2. I have 4 tabs on the top menu. I understand I can assign a class to each menu item. Would it be possible to have a colour scheme for each. EG. About Us – yellow hover state with yellow drop down, Contact – red hover with red dropdown etc. I am good with CSS and other development.

Thanks for your help. By the way this is the best theme out there in my opinion, amazing work.

Cheers,

Rory

Hey again – this is the line to mod:

    <h4 class="title"><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
it would become:
<h4 class="title"><a href="<?php echo $the_project_link; ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4>

Perfect – thanks!

You’re welcome :)

Subject: Portfolio – View Larger Button.

Hey guys, I’m really trying to remove the View Larger button from my portfolio on Salient. I pasted in the code given in a previous comment ”.portfolio-items .col .work-info .vert-center a:first-child { display: none!important; }” but it’s not working. I realised it’s not working on the previous website where this solution was given either although the user said it worked.

I noticed the ‘View Larger’ button only appears on certain screen widths. I really want to get rid of this as to me, It makes no sense in terms of functionality or user experience as it only showcases the thumbnails larger and not the content beneath the thumbnail.

Please may you help me remove this View Larger button on all screen widths and only have the More Details button.

Thank you, Josh

Hey Josh,

Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look at why that snippet isn’t working for you :)

Hi, I’m trying to decide if this theme is suitable to use for some of our websites.

1. Can i use this theme on various different servers / urls we have or is there a developer edition to run on multiple servers or i have to buy one for each?

2. The servers we use are hosted in China. This is a bit of a nightmare as the China firewall blocks connections to google, twitter and various other sites. We have not been able to use some other themes due to this reason, especially relating to calling up google font library and other connections to google servers. If your theme connects to google is there anyway to turn those connections to Google, Twitter etc off? This way the pages will load as normal.

Many thanks, Justin

Hey Justin,

1. As of now you’d need to buy a separate license for each install

2. The Google fonts are completely optional so if you don’t select any in your options panel it won’t try and load any

Cheers

Hi, Your theme is really nice, good work :-)

1) You can cope me where I can change the page background? Now it is (I think) # f7f7f7
2) Is it possible to use in the Ascend demo page layout blog post from Clean All Purpose?

I’m sorry, my english is bad :-)

The background color I have found :-)

Hey,

You can adjust the blog layout options in the blog settings tab of your theme options panel – if you didn’t like the general styling of certain ascend elements you’d need to delete them out of the ascend.css stylesheet

Cheers

Hello,

Button Shortcode in Visual composer is not working. The manual says there is a shortcode in the program but I am unable to find it.

Thank you.

Hi ThemeNectar ! After i add your css to my site … you know what !!! i think you’re … my Hero . Yes you’re my Hero !!! Thanks All for your support , brothers ! I love you and your Theme so much ! :)

You’re very welcome :)

hey I have what is probably two very easy questions: 1. I am using the portfolio feature on my site and it is displaying everything in reverse order. I want the last thing first and the first thing last. I have no problem manually adjusting the order of each project.

2. How do I put a download link so that the user can download a pdf of my portfolio if they want to do that after they have viewed it?

Thanks

dragging items in my admin panel in the “Portfolio” section is not an option. Maybe the plugin no longer works with this theme. What else can I do?

Could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at why this is the case for you https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Cheers

okay, done. Private Ticket #444370 I just want to display the portfolio items in a different order on the page.

Hi – just so you know, of all the themes I’ve worked on, Salient is my “go to” theme. Absolutely love it!

I have a small problem: Just installed the theme on a new WP installation, and for some reason my Nectar slider and my testimonial sliders don’t animate. I’ve ticked all the boxes and filled in all the fields, but neither will animate.

Please help – and keep up the good work. I just wish all developers had your sense of simplicity and functionality.

Hey!

Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look?

Cheers

I have added a portfolio post on the site and for some reason it only shows when I am logged into the backend of the site. If i log out the post disappears? is there anything I am missing?

Hey – could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on :) themenectar.ticksy.com/

Private Ticket #435484

i purchase and install however when i write some words like “Garantía” is showing the í with accent with different font.

any ways to fix this?

Hey – make sure you have the ext. latin characters option enabled in your typography tab in the Salient options panel

work fine now, thank you

Really nice job! Amazing work! Follow me

Thanks abbiecornish!

Hi,

I have tried to update to the latest version and I get the following error:

Notice: register_sidebar was called incorrectly. No id was set in the arguments array for the “Slide Out Widget Area” sidebar. Defaulting to “sidebar-6”. Manually set the id to “sidebar-6” to silence this notice and keep existing sidebar content. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 4.2.0.) in /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php

Also the site is pretty broken, I tried to restore the old theme but no joy.

Any help would be highly appreciated

Thank You kindly

Hey,

1. 5.5.52 Fixed this issue which was released two days ago

2. Salient v5.5 has separated Visual Composer into a plugin and is no longer automatically built in – this means when you activate the theme you’ll have to still install the Visual Composer plugin via the admin panel (there will be a prompt at the top of your screen). Cheers!

Hello!

Have a question concerning the menu. I would like to have my transparent (before scrolling) menu fixed to the pages so when I scroll down, it does not follow.

From what I have found out, I should add this to CSS:

#header-outer {
   position: absolute!important;
}

It works, the menu stays. However, when I enter this code, it adds 10-20px of padding on top of the menu which is transparent, even when I scroll down slowly, until the moment the menu has disappeared. How come and how can I fix this? Have tried to change the padding of the header but there is no change.

Thanks in advance and I do really appreciate it! You are doing an amazing job. :)

Hey,

could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can see why this is occurring?

Cheers

Good day!

I realised that the reason why this occurred, was because I was still logged into my WP-account and therefore had the top toolbar. This created that extra padding. :)

As soon as I logged out it was gone. Thank you! :)

Good to hear! :)

Hi, is it possible to add translationsets (different languages)? Do you have any suggestions for additional plugins (translation) that work well together with salient? Thanks

Hey,

I would recommend using WPML for this :)

Cheers

PRE-SALES Q: 1. Does the header option allow the logo to be centered with menu underneath?

2. Is the theme compatible with WPbakery Visual Composer and maybe VC Ultimate Addons?

Many thanks!

Hey,

1. Yes, that was added a in a few versions ago

2. The theme includes a modified Visual Composer but you could use the raw one if you have it and don’t mind losing out of the custom elements/features that the Salient one offers

Cheers

Hey there!

After having spent two days researching WP-designs I finally decided on yours because I think it can do almost everything I want! However I am a noob at web-design.

I am a photographer and would love to have three to four parallax photos on one page, linking to different portfolios. Can you please tell me how to make it behave similar to the one here? gabemcclintock.com

Have tried to do this through parallax backgrounds, different sections and Nectar slides but get none of it to work. :)

Really appreciate your help! Thanks in advance.

Hey!

instead of using pixel values for the top/bottom padding, try using a % value such as 30% for each – this should scale nicely :)

Cheers

Good day ThemeNectar! :)

I tried that out and it works flawlessly. Think I input 27% because that looks the best on the screens I have tried. Also instead of making a full width section, I choose to add these settings directly to the separate elements.

One more question though! Dividers. I would like to have a small white space between every element (parallax photo). When I use the divider-function (in its own element) from the page builder, it gives me too large a gap.

If I just input the code [divider] into the “classic mode”, then it becomes a smaller gap but it is then in an un-moveable element, and still too large.

Do you have any suggestions how to make a smaller gap? Check this page out and you can see the difference.

http://kenlonnstrom.com/home-test-ken-2/

Thank you so much!

Hey! Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:

body .divider {
  height: 5px;
}

Hi Mr Nectar!

Here is my question: Is it possible to make each of the Slides clickable? I just want to put a Slider with preview images from the projects, and when you click the Slide it sends you to the project page. Nothing written on it or anything else.

Also, what’s the difference between the Home Slider, Nectar Slider and a Carroussel?

Thanks!

Actually just a simple Image Gallery will do what I want, but I can’t make it Full Width. I’d also like to remove the side clickable arrows, and just let it slide by itself. Is it possible?

Thanks

Hey – place the image gallery element in a full width content row to get it fullwidth. If you can share your URL in regards i’d also be glad to help you with hiding the arrows :)

Cheers
