Hi Salient, On some of the pages of my website, I have removed the top navigation menu using this code: #header-outer, #header-space { display: none!important; } But the issue is that there is a blank space at the top, how can I remove that? You can have a look here: http://motioncue.com/presentations/

Thanks

Hey – add this into the custom css box as well:

.container-wrap {
  padding-top: 0!important;
}

Hi,

I have problems with the navigation on my website. E.g pressing the tag button “neu gelernt” on the page http://hoge-uebler.de/2015/10/04/gelesen-das-spinoza-problem/ gives just an empty page with a loading circle. Using “open on new tab” for the button works as expected.

Anything I can change?

Wilfried

Hey, change your page transitions from “ajax” to the standard option available in the Salient options panel

that helped. Thx.

Hello! Long time User of Salient. Been trying to use Calendarize it! Plugin with no such luck. for the Life of me I cannot seem to figure out how to not make Salient override the plugin . Seems class*=”icon-” is overriding everything for a single event. Ive submitted ticket 546413 with you guys that has screenshots and such. but since i haven’t seen anyone else post about calendarize it! and salient I thought id make a post here and hopefully find a solution between you all and the plugin developer. Ive submitted a ticket with them as well to hopefully find a solution.

Hey,

this would likely require modding some of the theme files as of now since the font awesome included with Salient is conflicting with the classes that plugin is using

Cheers

Hi Nectar,

I’ve done all steps you mentioned (Update to WordPress 4.3.1 and Salient 6.1.5) but it doesn’t solve the problem of loading Open Sans ext latin chars (needed on german sites – ö,ä,ü and so on) espaccially in former firefox verions. Please take a look on my ticket 533344. We need to solve the problem soon!

Thanks! Markus

Hey,

Will take a look into it as soon as I can

Cheers

Nectar,

We use the TEXT WITH ICON element throughout our website. The text is fine, but almost ALL of the selected icons are now missing on several pages. Ticket #546368 has all of the details. A quick resolution would greatly be appreciated.

Running Version 6.1.5

Thanks, Bobby

Hey, will check out the ticket as soon as I can

Cheers

Question:

Great theme! I was wondering if there was a way to add an image background with the Background Type set to HTML5 using the particles. I see there’s a field to edit the BG Color but not to add an image background. Is this possible through custom css?

Hey,

You could add the image BG in the image BG tab and then switch to the html5 tab to add the particles in

Cheers

It’s been almost 2 months now and I still have not gotten a response from support for a private ticket I posted months ago (#481985).

I have been having an issue for a while now with the single page prev/next navigation as it doesn’t seem to go through all the portfolio items. It skips three portfolio items when it’s supposed to go through all portfolio items.

I created a private ticket about this on July 18th, 2015 and have had some replies of suggestions of what I could do to fix this. I was communicating back and forth with Tahir trying out different things to fix this until August 8,2015 when I got a request for the login info to enable Tahir to check out what’s wrong. I posted the requested information the next day after which there have been no replies or at least some updates on how it is going. I have asked very nicely for an update more than once and have still not gotten a reply.

This is the 2nd time I’ve bought this theme as I felt it was a great theme that came with great support UNTIL NOW that is.

PLEASE! I know that the support team is busy but that does not warrant being ignored for almost 2 months especially since I have been very patient and cordial since the beginning.

Hey, going back to the ticket now – when I try to log into your setup I’m getting a message that you need to upgrade your WP DB “WordPress has been updated! Before we send you on your way, we have to update your database to the newest version.” – Could you kindly sort that out so I can get back into the admin and take a further look around?

Hi, I’ve updated the database. It should be all ready for you

Hi again, can you give me an update as to how it is going? Have you taken a look yet? (BTW I have updated to the latest theme version)

Hi,

I am trying to change the styling on the buttons to rounded. Tried changing that option in the general settings but they remain square.

I am using a child theme, don’t know if that related, because the call to action button wasn’t appearing and I had to add some code in custom CSS to make it appear.

Thanks,

Basma.

If your child theme is using a header.php file you’ll need to update it to reflect the current structure

can you walk me through how to do this? replace the file?

Yes, but make sure you’re aware of what changes you made to your child theme header.php file so you can make them again if you desire

Is it possible to control what elements appear on different screen sizes? Seems I am able to do this in the regular VC plugin and other themes that use VC, but I can’t seem to locate these options in my Salient version of VC. I want to have some different elements show only on mobile and also the opposite where an element will only show on say desktop view… any insight? maybe i am just missing something. thanks.

Hey, there’s a responsive option tab in the current version of Salient VC – make sure you’re on a relatively updated version of the theme/Salient composer

Is it possible to add a contact form into the box roll header? I tried to add the short code but it just appears as a short code. Please help. Thank you!

Hey – yes, but make sure any code you place uses single quotes for attributes i.e.

<a href=""></a>
instead of
<a href=""></a>

both these sets of code are the same? Can I still assign a class to them?

Sorry, TF is converting my single quotes into double :p – yes you can, he’s what it would look like: http://pastebin.com/TK9fH0j3

Hi, I have a pre-purchase question, does your theme support RTL?

thanks

Hey, yes it does

Cheers

that’s awesome! and it’s compatible with WPML as well right?

Many people use it, but the theme isn’t on their list of 100% compatible themes yet (in the process of getting that to happen)

Hi, I’m have issues with custom id links … I have a multiple page site. When I use only #idname in the menu custom links, it works fine on the home page. But if I’m on another page and I click on the menu link then all it does is take me bake to the home page… not the section? I tried to use the full url/#idname/ but then when you click on it it takes you to an empty white page ???

I wish I could have links that points to the good section on the home page when on the home page and to the good section of the home page when you clic from other page on the site… is it possible???

Thanks

Hey,

Please use the second method with the full URL and turn on the checkbox “Disable Fade Out On Click” in your page transitions tab in the Salient options panel

Cheers

Did it! Thanks :D

You’re welcome :)

Hi Themenectar. We just purchased salient and are very happy with the theme. However we seem to have some trouble with getting the header right.

If I don’t put a custom height to it, it will show very small on our website. If I assign a height to it (140 px looks best), then it will look okay on my desktop (firefox). But if I check my ipad it is still showing small again. Nothing I try seems to have any effect. http://www.superkawaii.nl

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I made a header of 1200 px wide.

One more other question. I tried using some custom css, and was hoping that the navigation below the header would reposition a little bit. I would like less padding between the header and the navigation. And less padding between the navigation and content. Due to my changes I also had to add a bit of custom css for the submenu because it appeared very low under the navigation menu.

I wonder if I used the right CSS for the problem.

header#top nav > ul > li > a { padding-bottom: 2px!important; } body .home-wrap, body .container-wrap, body .page-header-no-bg, .project-title { background-color: #FFFFFF !important; } body.single-portfolio #post-area .wp-post-image { display: none!important; }

.sf-menu ul { margin-top: -60px; }

Can you help me into the right direction? I wonder why the header is giving trouble. Not sure what I did wrong here. Thanks very much in advance,

M

Hi ThemeNectar,

Thanks so much, this fix worked well :D

One more question regarding the header though. If I view it on my ipad and my laptop (which has a smaller screen), the header will show up too wide. It will go over the outer edge of the web content. I am not sure how to fix that. Or should I upload a smaller header instead? I thought that the theme would adjust the header size to the width of the site, despite it’s been viewed on a smaller or wider screen. I am using a fixed width for the website though :)

Thanks so much in advance!!

Hey, add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:

header#top #logo img {
    max-width: 100%!important;
} 

Hi ThemeNectar. Again, thanks SO much for helping me fine tune this header.

The code helped, but the header logo is now a little bit out of proportion. (Showing a bit too high, but the width is 100%) :)

I wondered if this wrong scaling is caused by the custom 140 px width that I filled in in the ‘logo height’ box in the salient admin. But if I remove this custom info, the logo will show very tiny on both the bigger and the smaller screens. Can I bug you one more time for this? How can I show the logo without showing out of proportion? I know I am repeating it, but Thanks so much for your support.

Hi, in Nectar Slider, I would like to put a caption, but that it appears a the end of video. is it posible?

Hey, please see my response to your first comment in regards

Cheers

So I will need to replace it with Slider Revolution. Is it posible to have the same effect with it ( Video above main menu)

Hey, you can force a transparent header on any page. There’s a checkbox for it in your page header settings box at the bottom of every edit page screen

Hi, in Nectar Slider, I would like to put a caption, but that it appears a the end of video. is it posible?

Hey, are you referring to it only showing after the video ended? If so this would require custom development unfortunately

Hello,

How can I change the appearance of the menu at the top? (I have done the demo import but it still doesnt look like the demo. The font size/style are different.)

Demo: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/

How it looks like on my site: imeg.com.au

Thanks

Hey, you can find the theme options text file to import in the same folder you found the dummy data xml file. You can import it into the inport/export tab of the salient options panel

Hi,

Hope that you’re keeping weel. :grin:

Huge thanks for the awesome new releases! :grin:

I’m wondering is it possible (perhaps somehow relatively easily) to change the page background color of a portfolio item? That is, could the portfolio items have their own page background colors?

I already found out that:
body.single-portfolio .container-wrap {
  background-color: #eee!important;
}
changes the background color of all portfolio items. Yet, I would like to try to change their background colors separately.

Hey, if you used the full width project display you could handle this all in visual composer – if not it would require a good deal of custom css on a per project basis

Thank you. I’m using the full width, so this is convenient. :grin:

:D Good to hear

Hi,

When I want to login seeing this error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/p3pnexwpnas07_data01/96/2863896/html/wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/love/nectar-love.php:223) in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas07_data01/96/2863896/html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1207

and entire homepage does not appear properly specially slides and portfolio:

can you check please: www.brandclinic.co

Thanks.

Hey, have you verifies that no plugins are causing this behavior for you?

Hello, i have an issue with a lightbox vimeo video, it seems to play in hd only on safari browser and i cant seem to figure out why. Are there any settings for the embed created by the theme i could tweak ?

Thanks in advance!

Hey, please share your url in regards so I can take a look

Where do I find the area to put content, logo, or a video ‘above’ the menu on the off canvas menu option? I only see the widget area that places content below the menu. if there isn’t an option, can you please add this as an option? would be nice to put an image or a video above the menu on the ‘off canvas’ option. Or is there a way to do this that I just don’t see?

The menu location does add additional functionality but this method I described would be the only way to move items before it without custom development

Perhaps you might be able to add it to the wish list for the future, it would be nice to have a ‘widget’ area above the menu so we can add an image, logo or video ‘above’ the menu just like you can add it below… Love all the upgrade that you continue to come out with.

Hey – will do! :)
