Hello!

The website I’m currently working on is here: http://blogg.viktorhertz.com/

These are the issues I’m having:

1. At 900px browser width, weird things are happening; the header menu and logo jumps around and switches positions in height, and the theme is reduced in width, even though there are plenty of space left..

2. At http://blogg.viktorhertz.com/portfolio/, I’m trying to make the portfolio filter center aligned, instead of right; BUT, when the browser width reaches 900px, it does get center-aligned- how can I make it stay center-aligned at all times? I’m trying to alter the style of the filter options text with custom CSS as well, but it doesn’t work- I want them exactly in the same appearance as the header main menu..

3. How do I change the filter category “All” to uppercase letters, like my other portfolio categories are shown?

4. Also, I was trying to hide the active category (aligned to the left), but that hasn’t worked out so far, either.. It disappears at <900px browser width, though, but not before that..

5. Is it possible to add an extra row of filter options, beneath the current filter? I’d love to be able to have a row of options for “Film & video”, “Illustration”, etc, that syncs with the filter above (ALL / CLIENT / PERSONAL), so you easily can sort the portfolio items, for both client and personal work..

6. On the About-page (http://blogg.viktorhertz.com/about/), I’m using a 3-column layout. When I resize the browser to <900px, the layout switches to 1-column layout- is it possible to have it change to a 2-column layout, in between the desktop and mobile layout?

Many thanks in advance!!

Forget #8, I found that trick :)

Hey,

1. It seems you’ve done some custom work to get that setup in the mobile display which is causing the issue

2.

@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 1px) {
.portfolio-filters-inline .container > ul {
    float: none!important;
    text-align: right;
}
}
3. Add this as well:
.portfolio-filters-inline ul li a {
    text-transform: uppercase!important;
}

4.

.portfolio-filters-inline #current-category {
  display: none!important;
}

5. Not as of yet – but it’s an option that will make it into future releases

6.

html body .vc_row-fluid .vc_col-sm-4[class*="vc_col-sm-"] {
  width: 50%!important;
}
7. Remove this section from the responsive.css file:
#page-header-bg .span_6 {
    top: auto!important;
    float: none!important;
}
in the
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 690px)
media query

Ok, so I decided to delete all my custom CSS code, just to see where all these things go wrong; some of the stuff above helped, but not everything.. I feel there are some basic theme flaws, that keep sticking around, when trying to fix the layout as I want it..

Here are some questions regarding the basic settings in the Salient theme, without any added custom CSS:

1. I’ve set the page header height to “1” on this page: http://blogg.viktorhertz.com/about/ – but, the space between the header and the page content keep changing and switching around, depending on the browser width. This makes it really hard to design a layout, that consistently keeps the same proportions.. Also, setting the page header height to “0”, makes the header really large, which also is weird.. What if I don’t want ANY space between the header and my content? How would I go about this?

It seems like the page header height doesn’t take the header in consideration at all- shouldn’t the layout automatically adjust the page header height to the bottom of the top header?

Hmm, I now realized this problem only occurs when I’ve set the page header bg color to white in the options panel- will this go away, if I add a custom CSS code for changing the bg color in the headers globally to white?

2. Why is the bg color in the page header causing these problem? For example, when I’ve set it to white, the portfolio header text is jumping around and doesn’t stay perfectly center-aligned, but when I delete the bg color, it’s all good.. Why is this? This means I can’t change the page header height, either, if I want a different bg color for the page header? In the options panel for the page header height, it says “This only applies when you are using an image/bg color.” – sorry, I just don’t understand how this is supposed to work out..

3. WHY is the layout moving to the right when I reduce the browser width size?? It just doesn’t make any sense, to have the layout popping around to the left and back to the right randomly- is there ANY way to have the whole website stay fixed to the left, at the very same position as desktop full browser width?? Of course, I should’ve thought about this before I bought the theme, but I also think it’s a pretty stupid feature, as I can’t think of any good reasons for this to be useful.. It just takes away lots of space from the layout and page content, when it could easily use the area to the left of the layout..

Is it possible to have the whole website in full-width mode, with a custom left-padding or something?

5. When changing the header padding in the header options panel, I can’t set it to “0” – why not? What if I prefer to have no padding at all, and instead adjust my logo, to work with the layout?

I don’t mind changing the basic responsive.css file, even if it makes updates impossible.. Just let me know how to do all this, if it’s even possible..

Many thanks in advance! Sorry for all these questions!

I currently have a standard CTA on site. Is there any way to have a different CTA on a specific page only (WooCommerce Product page to be specific) while maintaining the standard/global CTA?

Hey – you’d have to exclude the CTA on that page from the theme options panel and then create a CTA like row with VC on the bottom of your desired page

Cheers

We have a big problem with typography since updating from 6.0.2 to 6.1.5. I submitted a ticket with all the details and admin access. Could any of you guys please respond as soon as possible to ticket #537923

Thanks in advance!

Hey – checking shortly :)

Hello, Suddenly I can not edit the columns with the visual composer, so I can not change any content. please as I can fix? wordpress version that should have to run the vc well. Thank you

Hey,

Please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on :) themenectar.ticksy.com/ Just let me know the ticket ID here when you’re done doing so

Hi, I’m having an issue with the full width content setting. I set the row for full-width content, but when I set the background color for each column, nothing happens on the front. The background hover color works though.

Hey – kindly share the URL so I can take a look

Cheers

I am wondering about the rtl.css If I copy the complete file into the child theme, it does not work. It is only working from the main theme. Is this a known issue? I have comment out the lines for the font, then copied the complete rtl.ccs file into the child theme but there was no change. Then I comment out the lines on the main themes rtl.css and it was working. I also had to add !important to all font related entries, otherwise it would not work at all. I have 3 languages and 2 of them are using the custom fonts that I have enabled. As long as they are enabled, the rtl.css will not overwrite the fonts. Is there anything I could do better than I already did? Why is it not working if I copy the rtl.css into my child theme? Why does the rtl.css not overwrite custom fonts for other languages?

Hey – you had the portfolio element inside of a text block instead of directly inside a column as is normal. I changed that for you and it seems to have fixed the issue

Oh, this may have happened when WPML has copied the page!? I am sorry that I made so much trouble but I was a little under pressure of time with this. I will check it out but thanks so far ;-)

No worries :)

Cheers

Hey TN….any update on my one on page 704? cheers!

Hey – checking again now :)

Hi again! I already have another comment going on in here, but i have this new issue that i really can’t figure out. So, first of all, i’d really like to thank you guys for your patience.

I’m using a layout scheme like one i’ve seen in your demos (more specifically this one: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-agency/portfolio/dark-water/) with 2 full width rows, the one above with 2 or 3 images, and the other one with a full big image. But the results i’m getting are not consistent: the image in the row below is not always full width, there’s a blank space at its right side. Would you know what i’m doing wrong in here?

The links are these:: http://lacuna.com.br/site/portfolio/o-desaparecimento-do-elefante/ http://lacuna.com.br/site/portfolio/vasta-cidade-festa-de-alguem/

thank you so much once again

Hey,

The full width image you’re using isn’t large enough to fit on some desktop monitors, to make it stretch past it’s actual size add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:

#portfolio-extra img {
    max-width: none!important;
    width: 100%!important;
}

Cheers

hey, it worked perfectly, thank you so much! Cheers

You’re welcome :)

Hey Phil,

UberMenu’s Salient integration guide no longer works. Implementing even the first step of their guide results in the website loading a blank page.

I’ve alerted the dev but wanted you to know too. Any plans to get Salient to work with their automated integration method? I’ve ended up using the v@d theme on any sites that need Ubermenu because all I have to do is check a box and it works. Would be awesome of Salient did the same.

Hey,

the header.php has changed since they wrote that guide – I will take a look at the automatic integration system you’re referring to though :)

Cheers

Hi there, how can I make the Google Map height responsive? It shall always have the same size like the container next to it.

Example: beta.1nvolve.de/servus

Hey this would require some custom JS development unfortunately. An easy way to have something similar would be to set the height of the map larger than the column as I did here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-agency/contact/

I noticed the mobile menu changes to one that is much smoother but isn’t well laid out when you toggle Sticky Mobile Menu on. Couple of questions:

1) Any plans to improve the new Sticky menu (eg. separators between menu items)?

2) Is it possible to have Sticky Mobile Menu on but use the non-sticky menu version until you’ve improved on it?

3) Any plans to add mobile menu colorization into the Custome Header options? I know how to do it with CSS but figured integrating into the control panel would be faster.

Thanks!

Hey – there might be new mobile menu/off canvas styles but the fullscreen one itself won’t have drastic changes. Unfortunately there’s no way to use the old one with the sticky mobile menu at the moment

Cheers

Hi, please look into ticket #478134 again, I’ve been waiting for weeks for a respons :-(

Hey – sorry for the delay! The issue mentioned in there was supposed to sorted, i’ll check back again now

Cheers

Hello! Love the theme! I’m trying to get the demo content for “Agency” up on my site. I want it to appear as the demo does so I can change things from that point. Can you help me set up the demo, please? Thanks!

Hey – you need to import the dummy-data.xml file this video explains the basic setup process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wKJFYCZN1U

HELP: When I use wide layout style, I can do a full screen slideshow at the beginning of the page (something like this: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-one-page/), but when I switch to boxed layout style, the same slide show is not high enough to fit the screen. (something like this: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/)

How can I use the boxed layout and have slide show height to fit screen at the same time. Thanks a lot for help.

Just responded,

Cheers

Hi, I have updated some details on my trouble on the theme, but on one is replying my ticket, could you please check the ticket? thanks! https://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/539013

Checking now :)

“view larger ” button in portfolio doesnt show the original size, when I click on vier larger button the img is fixed on 384×182 .. How can i fixt this ? :)

Also add this:

.portfolio-items .work-info-bg {
   display: none!important;
}

Thanks for the code it worked for me :), Can you tell my why the picture (when i used view larger ) was fixed on 384×182 and how can i fix this if want to go back later to this style? ... THanks in advanced

Hey,

When I viewed it on a desktop monitor the image displayed larger than that – if you ever remove that code I gave and want me to take another look just let me know

Cheers

I have updated to the latest version and I experience some problems with the smooths scroll/styled bar feature in combination with a 3D Banner. After loading the page first time, the scroll bar appears styled. Once I scroll down, scroll up, see the 3D Banner again, scroll down again, the scroll bar looks broken in FF, it seems to be behind all other sections. In chzrome, it is not as bad as in FF but if you scroll up and down and up to the banner again, the styled bar shows only up when start scrolling down. You can try it here: schnarwiler.com

Hey,

thanks for mentioning – in general I don’t recommend users use the styled scrollbar anymore as it’s a performance killer (I am forced to keep it as an option since it’s been there from day and some legacy users still like it). However i’ve noted to look into this further and sort it

Cheers

Actually, I do not want the styled scroll bar but I enable it for the smooths scrolling. Maybe this can be made available as a standalone feature?

Chrome and Firefox and Mac Safari will already scroll smoothly without it, it’s essentially only bringing the functionality to IE (Chrome used to not scroll smoothly when I added that option in so it made more sense)

Hey.

How do I make an image adapt the height to the container? Like the image on the right of the purple section in the About Us Page of the Salient Agency Demo.

I’m trying to achieve the same effect on my website but if I have a lot of text, the image doesn’t adapt to the new height. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance…

Hey,

In a full width content row type when one column has a BG image set, its height will always remain equal of the sibling columns

Cheers

It is a great satisfaction being working with the sophistication of Salient for 1 year now at Quaestio.org!

Hey, that’s awesome to hear!

Always cool to see users using some of the new features :)

Cheers

Hi Guys,

I’ve still got an open support ticket with you. Can you take a look please?

Thanks!

Hey, please let me know the ticket ID

Cheers

Yeah, here it is: Private Ticket #531639

Thanks,

Hi there!

First, your theme is absolutely amazing! We are most likely going to purchase it very soon for an upcoming project. I just had a few quick questions and they relate mostly to the Agency demo as we love that style.

1. How good does the hosting need to be to run that style? Agency looks very involved and obviously we’d want the site to perform as flawlessly as possible, but don’t want to have to spend a huge amount of money on hosting to do so. We plan to use the Particles Interactive Nectar Header (with that gorgeous box roll effect) as it’s truly breathtaking how fantastic it looks.

2. Not really a question, but I did want to mention that I wanted to browse the demo on my phone (iPhone running iOS 9) to see how it looks there, and when doing so it actually crashed my phone after exploring for a bit. It could have just been a coincidence but that has never happened before. It just shut off and restarted itself so I wanted to mention that just in case.

I can’t wait to purchase your theme and see how amazing it is to work with! It looks like its full 5-star rating is well-deserved :-)

Hi there!

1. Awesome thank you! I’m pretty confident the setup we put in place should have enough :-) I’ll let you know if we notice any problems! I’ve heard that your support is magnificent!

2. It was specifically when having 3 different windows open, one on your ThemeForest page, one on the main demo where the user is taken when clicking “Live Demo”, and another on the Agency Demo page. I think I might have been switching between the agency demo window to the main demo window at the time that it occurred if that helps.

Thank you!

We purchased!! So excited to get started with your theme :-)

That’s great to hear!

Also thanks for the further details in #2 :)

Cheers
