Hi, Does the theme have an AJAX header that stays static when content is loaded. I have tried using the theme but the header is reloaded every time a link is clicked? Thanks

Hey,

you’d need to switch the page transition method to AJAX in the options panel

Cheers

Hi so if the “transition method” is changed to AJAX then the header and menu will not refresh when content is loaded?

Yes, but that option will also usually interfere with other javascript related plugins and is best suited for an advanced user

Hi ThemeNectar,

I have a question regarding image loading time on my site (http://neileverosborne.com) I was wondering if you could offer some thoughts or suggestions on how to decrease the loading time of my images.

I am currently using Plugins like: EWWW Image Optimizer and Imsanity along with Save For Web through PhotoShop but do you know of anything else I can do to achieve a quicker load time?

I’ve read online about adding ‘Pre-Loading Images’ javascript (http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/images/preloading.html#script) to help with image Caching, do you think that would be beneficial? If yes, would this code work if placed in the salient-child functions.php file?

Thanks, Alan

Hey,

Use this for caching https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/ and this for minifcation https://wordpress.org/plugins/bwp-minify/ – both of these steps will allow for faster loading :) Cheers

Hello, how can I set this kind of menu? http://postimg.org/image/fnp5ecv3n/ Thank you

Hey again, ThemeNectar, :)

Hope that you’re keeping well. :)

With this one I could control the line-height of toggle panel heading:
.toggle h3 a, .tabbed > ul li a {
  line-height: 25px!important;
}

Yet, that didn’t affect the line-height of ‘Plus/Minus’ font icon. How to affect it? (I’d like it to be the same 25 px).

Have a nice day. :)

Hey, add this into the custom css box:

.toggle h3 a i {
  top: 17px!important;
}

Cheers

Splendid, thank you. :)

You’re welcome :)

i am using Salient theme in my WordPress website its work perfect on desktop version when i open my website on iPhone 5 its not loading properly and on iPhone 6 it not aligned properly can you check why this happen my website http://hnme.ae/

Hm, this is what i’m seeing on my end: http://i.imgur.com/LFrEMJ5.png are you also seeing this kind of behavior on the demo?

image is not opening and you post again

Hi there! A client of mine is using your (awesome) theme. I had to change some images and now I have a little problem. I have one page in two different languages. On one page all is fine. The other page is showing ‘squashed’ images on mobile version. So I checked the code.

This is correct: ‘div style=”min-height: 776px;’ This is not correct: ‘div style=”height: 749px;’

So on one of the languages the height the minimal in ‘min-height’ is missing, resulting in totally squashed images on mobile version.

Could you tell me how to correct this so I can have a ‘min-height’?

By the way, while you are checking, could you also check the (Nectar) slider on the Dutch homepage? I have overlapping text but I would like the text to be always centered and within the white borders of the background image. In other words, I would like the content block to be responsive within these bounds if possible. I tried a lot of stuff but can’t figure it out.

Hey – in your Dutch version try to remove the empty text block you have in the columns with the BG images

Also in regards to the Nectar Slider overlap issue – i’m actually not seeing this at the moment, have you changed something in the mean time?

Cheers

Thanks ThemeNectar, this was the problem. I don’t know where these empty text blocks are coming from, I didn’t put them there…

In regards to the Nectar Slider, here is a screenshot: http://nl.tinypic.com/r/1zgqptl/9

You don’t see the content (Title+text)? On my screen it looks fine but on client’s laptop it doesn’t. So I didn’t cover some resolutions with the custom @media screen only css, I guess, but I can’t find out which resolution it is. I mean, I can’t cover all resolutions right?

I’m working on a new site for my client who is moving everything over from her existing ExpressionEngine site. What is the XML schema I will need to import their existing data into portfolio posts in Salient? I can scrape their data into a particular XML format to make it easier to import the hundreds of posts. Thank you for your help!

Hey,

You can check out the dummy data xml files included with the theme to get the needed format – it’s similar to rss :)

Cheers

How can i add Mailchimp popup form in this theme? Mailchimp generate this code…

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”//s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.mailchimp.com/js/signup-forms/popup/embed.js” data-dojo-config=”usePlainJson: true, isDebug: false”></script><script type=”text/javascript”>require([“mojo/signup-forms/Loader”], function(L) { L.start({baseUrl“}) })</script>

mailchimp don’t help me to do this http://kb.mailchimp.com/lists/signup-forms/add-a-pop-up-form-to-your-website

Hey,

You can add this into the header.php file in the head section

Cheers

Why there is a margin which make the whole header section unvisible when the menu is not transparent? I mean that now you have this:

.container-wrap, .project-title { background-color: #F8F8F8; position: relative; z-index: 10; margin-top: -55px; padding-top: 93px; padding-bottom: 40px; } but it should be:

.container-wrap, .project-title { background-color: #F8F8F8; position: relative; z-index: 10; margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 40px; }

could you please let me know your thoughts? thanks

Hey,

This occurs when you have the header resize option on so that a blank space is not present when slowly scrolling down – if you turn that option off this will go away though

Cheers

Why the button in pricing section can’t be small? When we use the same code in different row (not pricing), it works as small, but the same code in pricing section, is big…. Really strange… Any idea?

I mean the same code, where size is “small”

I think it’s because of this:

.pricing-table[data-style=”flat-alternative”] .nectar-button { font-size: 15 px

}

It should be : .pricing-table[data-style=”flat-alternative”] .nectar-button { font-size: none !important; }

Hey – ah yes, the alt pricing table style forces a size on the button – i’ve noted to allow users to override this easier though

Hey, I’ve noted to look into this further – have you been able to get it from ThemeForest in the meantime?

Love the theme! I am trying to add a recent posts element to the home page. I want it to show Posts or Pages with a particular category. Posts work just fine. Because Pages do not have categories by default I installed a plugin to allow categories to be used on Pages. However, once I do that the Home page just spins/crashes – there is some kind of conflict. I tried two different plugins for allowing categories and had the same problem with each. Is there a recommended plugin to allow categories on Pages or some other way of doing this? Thanks!

Hey – instead of using the recent posts element for displaying pages or a certain category have you considered just using a portfolio element with an external project URL set to lead to various pages of your choosing?

Cheers

Thanks – I think that might be the easiest way. Are there any plans to enable pages to be used in the future? Or at least to be able to select a template with posts so there is more flexibility in the layout – like being able to add a title and subtitle, to have the description show in the sidebar like you can with Pages?

Hey – i’ve noted the idea on the wishlist :)

While looking at my site via mobile, there is two sets of translation buttons. I have two languages, (english/french). There are two sets of flags! Could you help me with this?

Thanks – remove this from your init.js file located in the js folder:

//add wpml to mobile menu
    if($('header#top nav > ul > li.menu-item-language').length > 0){
        var $langSelector = $('header#top nav > ul > li.menu-item-language').clone();
        $langSelector.insertBefore('#mobile-menu ul #mobile-search');
    }

Dont quit know where to find this function. I looked in theme functions, is this right?

Hey – it’s located in init.js file located in the js folder. You won’t be able to edit it from your admin panel unless you install a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-editor/

Hi how do I add a menu icon between the search icon and the hamburger menu icon? It’ll be a simple fonticon with link to a specific page.

Hey,

You’d need to do this in the header.php file buttons unordered list

Cheers

Hi… We are looking for a fixed bottom menu using widgitized Mega Menu. Does your theme offer this? If not can you be contracted to make these customizations? Thanks

Hey,

Unfortunately I don’t do custom gigs personally but someone from Envato Studio would be able to assist :)

Cheers

Does this theme let me put a video (with audio and fullscreen) in the header that plays automatically as soon as someone visits the page?

Hey, yes – you could do this with the Nectar Slider or Page Header option however including audio in a video BG isn’t recommended since there are no controls to stop the video/mute the audio for the user

Thank you for responding. Is it possible to have the nectar slider with the box roll effect as the header?

You’re welcome -

as of now that’s only available for the page header

Cheers

Why when you have 6 columns and icon with text in each one, then in the mobile phone version, these 6 icons are not well aligned in vertical meaning? Did you see it? First icon is a little bit to much left, the second (below) is more right, the third is left etc… Any idea to fix it?

Hey, could you do so privately in a ticket so only I will see https://themenectar.ticksy.com ? Or do you mean you’re working locally?

I mean that my website is under construction. so only admin after login to wordpress panel can see the website :((

I think it’s because of 6 columns… When I have 4 it works good…

Hey again, :)

@media only screen and (max-width: 1300px) {
body h4, .row .col h4 {
   font-size: 24px!important;
   line-height: 24px!important;
}
}

That affects Footer Headings, too. I there a way to exclude Footer Headings?

Have a great weekend. :)

Hey, add this in as well:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1300px) {
#footer-outer .row .col h4 {
    font-size: 16px!important;
    line-height: 16px!important;
}
}

Awesome, thanks! :)

Have a nice day. :)

You’re welcome :)

Is there a way to prevent so much scaling on background images spanning full width??

Hi I am trying to fit an image on background of a row. But no matter what I try It always crops to much from all sides. Its currently 1700×800 ive tried much wider images, but still its crops. Even when I stretch the screen across two 1900×1080px screens it still never get to the edge of the image.

Is there a way to prevent so much scaling?

Hey,
