Hi,

Do you have Photoshop file (PSD) provide in theme?

Thanks Det

Hey, unfortunately there are no PSD files I can provide

Hi. We are experiencing some weird display issues with V6.1.2 and I wanted to check if these have already been addressed in the latest version V6.1.4:

1. On single portfolio pages, the top of the content on the left is no longer vertically aligned with the top of the sharing icons. The left content is noticeably lower. http://hingedigital.com/projects/florida-hospital-this-is-inspired-health/

2. PrettyPhoto pop-ups of our video links are no longer open centered in the screen. They are shifted down beyond the bottom of the screen requiring the user to scroll down each time. Click on any of the thumbnails on this page to see the behavior: http://hingedigital.com/directors/slater-dixon/

3. When creating a new portfolio page, the page is in default “Classic Mode”. However, when scrolling down to where the “Extra Content” editor should be, the the visual composer is in it’s place showing the “Template” UI. After toggling the “Classic Mode/Page Builder” button, the Extra Content editor shows up again. This becomes particularly confusing when you try to use the Template UI and saving the page, without first switching to “Page Builder”. When re-editing the page, the Template UI shows up again, but none of the VC content is there. Clicking the “Page Builder” button reveals the VC content.

1. Fixed. Thanks!

2. Apparently it fixed itself. Maybe a caching issue? Thanks.

3. Done. Ticket #526027

4. Nectar Slider load issues: The first slide on our main page nectar slide is always slow to load, especially in Safari for OSX. See the grid for several seconds, then it crossfades to the next slide. Is it ok to only use MP4s in the slides, instead of OGV and WEBM? trying to minimized load time by using 640×360 mp4s.

5. Upgrading customized site is tedious. i have done some customizations to shortcode-processing.php to add “client” name on the portfolio thumbnail overlay text. I also use a child theme to override/customize several pages including, single-portfolio.php, taxonomy-project-client.php, template-portfolio.php and added functions in functions.php. Each time I upgrade to a new version of Salient, I have to do a file comparison between your new code for these pages and my modified pages to make the changes again. Is there a better, more modular, less painful way to do this?

Hey again,

4. That size is definitely small enough so it’s not the issue, have you tried to see if turning the looped option off helps?

5. Mods to the core theme files will need to be reapplied but the items in your child theme don’t change very often

4. Turning off loop doesn’t seem to make a difference. However, we definitely want to have looping.

5. Ok. Just updated to 6.1.5 and changed the necessary files again. I also changed the child theme files to match your news ones.

Hey, any thoughts as to why I can’t change the color of my Site Header when permanent transparency is turned on? It remains black and only changes to my custom options when I turn permanent transparency off… Thanks in advance!

Hey kindly share your URL so I can see the setup :)

Was able to figure this out. Thanks so much.

You’‘re welcome :)

I have updated to your 6.1.3 version, and can see a few problems.

Hey, could you kindly open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a further look? https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Hey I have couple questions 1) How can I update my Salient to the newest one? it’s v6.0.1 which has some bugs with menu (submenu). And there is new one version 6.1.4. When I do upload it from the link on this site, it’s old one

2) Second question. I want my single post be boxed while reading, but whole website – full width. I’ve tried to make boxed website with full width pages made in Visual Composer. But didn’t work. Basically I need single posts to be boxed like this http://open2world.com/blog/ Or Is there any possibility to adjust widget and post width? 3) How can I change whole website background color ? It is grey, and I want to make it brighter a little bit. In boxed style it’s possible, but full width I could’t figure it out I was thinking between Salient and Divi, and have chosen Salient. But now I’m not able to use it as I want Thank You.

Hey,

1. The current version is available from ThemeForest, you could either download the theme again from here, delete the old one and upload the new or you could use the Envato toolkit plugin

2. Add this into the custom css box:
.single-post .container {
 background-color:#fff;
 padding: 40px!important;
 box-shadow: 0px 0px 20px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
}

3.

.container-wrap {
  background-color:#fff!important;
}

Cheers

Thank You so much!

You’re welcome :)

I’m trying to change something on my portfolio page. I’m using “Meta below thumb w/ links on hover”.

I removed “more details” button. Without the button, each thumb nail has no link. Is there any way to make links to each thumb nail? (To make links available anywhere/ overall on the thumb nail)

Hey,

please share your url in regards so I can see why it didn’t work

Cheers

Hey also add this into the custom css box:

.portfolio-items .col .work-item:not(.style-2):not(.style-3):not(.style-3-alt):not(.style-4):not([data-custom-content="on"]) .work-info .vert-center {
    transform: none!important;
    -webkit-transform: none!important;
    top: 0!important;
    height: 100%!important;
}

Hi Nectar,

since I’ve updated to 6.1.3 I’ve noticed 2 bugs:

1.) Padding (or margin?) at the top of TABS are different in FIrefox compared to Chrome and IE.

Have a look: http://www.bls-bayern.de/immobilien/eigentumswohnungen-bamberg/

See the difference – the wanted space you can see in IE and Chrome

2.) I’ve tried to control my site in Firefox 34 and now the problem with ext Chars loading Open Sans occurs in older Firefox versions (Release Date Version 34 Dec. 2014). Firefox 40, IE, Chrome and Opera are working fine, but Firefox 34 … I’ve tried to reset Custom Fonts but I am not able to fix this. BTW if I turn off “Custom Fonts” Chrome doesn’t show Open Sans any longer …

Thanks for your advice – Markus

Space difference Firefox to Chrome above TABS

Code Firefox Console:

http://www.imedia-werbeagentur.de/datentransfer/Screenshot-02_code.jpg

And what about the issue of loading ext Chars of Open Sans (ä, ü, ö …) in older Firefox Versions (f.e. Firefox 34 – you can try a portable version)?

http://www.bls-bayern.de/

Have a look at the Navigation, Silder Cabs and the text inside the grey row below the slider f.e.

Cheers – Markus

Hey,

Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.tabbed > ul li {
    display: inline-block!important;
    float: none!important;
}

Also in regards to the firefox 34 font issue – i’ve noted to do further testing

Hi Nectar,

first issue is solved! Waiting for the ext Char issue …

As always – great and fast support!

Just noted something else. In Version 5.5.3 I was able to use HTML-Code inside the Content Headlines of a tab in case because I want to use bold font-weight side by side with Regular font-weight. This is now impossible – do you know why?

Example:

http://www.bls-bayern.de/wohnung/eigentumswohnung-solln-nr-5/

Look at the “(VERKAUFT)” at the end of the toggle headline. It lloks fine by now but if I want to edit and resave the code will be displayed instead of the bold font-weight. All not touched toggles are displayed correct (as you see in my example) But it’s not a big issue …

Cheers – Markus

Hi,

I’m planning on purchasing your theme this week and have got a quick prepurchase question regarding the pricing tables. Had a look on your agency demo and discovered that the currency symbol of course (since it is in US dollars) was placed before the price amount. In Scandinavia we normally prefer to place the symbol (kr) after the price amount. I just wonder if this option comes with your theme?

In addition, I really want to know if your theme ships with any conversion forms and/or subscribe forms so that potential customers can leave their contact information. If not, are you aware of any good plug-ins that solves this?

And the last question, is it possible to place a company logo in the footer area?

Thanks!

Hey,

1. Currently you’d need to make a small edit to the shortcode file but I could point you around

2. It would require a plugin in regards but there shouldn’t be issues with any ones you want to use

Cheers

G’day Salient,

My website www.sonderdesign.com, I’d like to enquire if it’s possible to have certain pages have a different top navigational menu? Is this possible? Many thanks.

Thanks, it worked.

You’re welcome :)

its urgetn.. ticket no. 521518

please have a look.

thanks

Hey,

Please install the latest version of the theme and then delete your current copy of the Salient VC/reinstall it. The full width section padding issue not saving was sorted

Cheers

already done.. nothing fixed :(

done.. thanks

Hi! I’m having some trouble using the off-canvas menu, and i really can’t find what’s wrong… the icon for this menu doesn’t seem to follow the padding information I set on header settings – it always stays right up on the page. And when i use it, the logo disappears…

Would you know what i’m doing wrong in here? Thanx!

Hey, it worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

You’re welcome :)

Hi, is it possible to create a full screen vertical slider with dots on the right side of the screen?

Hey,

Unfortunately not yet but I’ve noted the idea for the wishlist

Cheers

Hey Guys, Already have purchased your theme and what a great job you’ve done! I’m thinking about a sidebar navigation menu and I don’t think there’s a way (yet) with your theme. Am I wrong? Please let me know when you can and continued success!!! All the best,

Hey!

As of now the closest thing you could to would be to use the slide out widget area from the right hand side with the off canvas menu option

Cheers

hey! I was wondering if the newsletter plugin is compatible with salient?

cheers

Hey – which one were you trying to use?

I am helping someone with this theme (they purchased it on their account). I am trying to adjust the line-height of the nectar slider h2 text. It is in the dynamic-combined.css file. if I make the changes and upload them to the file, it will change itself back.

If I try to make the changes in the Salient > Custom CSS space, it does not override the dynamic-combined.css document.

What can I do to make the adjustment stay? Thanks.

Hey,

You could make the changes with css if you used a more specific selector with !important – however you can also adjust the line height in the typography options tab in the Salient options panel

Cheers

Hi, I have a presales question please. I’m looking for a responsive theme with gallery and woo commerce. You tick those boxes. I’m also looking for a theme that stands out from the crowd Agency is the most original thing I’ve seen (and I’ve trawled through 100’s of themes in Themeforest)! Can you give me some urls of this theme being used by live customers please? I always like to see more examples besides the Developers demo. Thanks in advance, Pa. p.s. just to say again stunning theme!

Hey, i’m glad to hear you dig it :)

Unfortunately I don’t keep a list customer urls for showcasing however people post them all the time in here for support

Cheers

How can I get a refund ?

Hey,

you’d need to contact Envato support in regards since I personally don’t have control over that

Hi guys, been a while. I’m looking to add blog excerpts to the list of posts returned using the search function, in a similar way to what is done with category pages. I’ve found the relevant section in search.php:

<?php if( get_post_type($post->ID) == 'post' ){ ?>
    <article class="result">
        <span class="bottom-line" />
        <h2 class="title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> <span><?php echo __('Blog Post', NECTAR_THEME_NAME); ?></span></h2>    

    </article>

And figured if I added excerpt code used in template-portfolio.php underneath the h2 tags, I’d be able to display some excerpt information:

<?php $project_excerpt = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_nectar_project_excerpt', true); ?>

<?php 
     if(!empty($project_excerpt)) { echo '<p>'.$project_excerpt.'</p>'; } elseif(!empty($options['portfolio_date']) && $options['portfolio_date'] == 1) echo get_the_date();
?>

But this is where I’ve come unstuck – I’ve tried playing around and the closest I’ve been able to get is to show the two paragraph tags with nothing in them, and that’s as a result of removing the if/elseif statements. Do you know how I can resolve this? your help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey – you’re trying to call data from a portfolio post type a regular post, instead of doing that try just this:

<?php if( get_post_type($post->ID) == 'post' ){ ?>
    <article class="result">
        <span class="bottom-line" />
        <h2 class="title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> <span><?php echo __('Blog Post', NECTAR_THEME_NAME); ?></span></h2>    
       <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
    </article>

Superb – so much simpler in the end. Thanks very much!

You’re welcome :)
