How can I change the universal button color without having to change the entire accent color?

I just want to change the add to cart, quantity box +/-, and checkout buttons to be black and white background with black border and black text on hover. How can I accomplish this?

Hey, add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:

.woocommerce a.button, .woocommerce-page a.button, .woocommerce button.button, .woocommerce-page button.button, .woocommerce input.button, .woocommerce-page input.button, .woocommerce #respond input#submit, .woocommerce-page #respond input#submit, .woocommerce #content input.button, .woocommerce-page #content input.button {
  background-color: #ffffff!important;
  color: #000000!important;
  border: 2px solid #000!important;
}

.woocommerce a.button:hover, .woocommerce-page a.button:hover, .woocommerce button.button:hover, .woocommerce-page button.button:hover, .woocommerce input.button:hover, .woocommerce-page input.button:hover, .woocommerce #respond input#submit:hover, .woocommerce-page #respond input#submit:hover, .woocommerce #content input.button:hover, .woocommerce-page #content input.button:hover {
  background-color: #000!important;
  color: #fff!important;
}

Hi, came up with another issue. Feel bad hitting you up so many times, so my apologies. I just added a second slide to my home screen that contains an mp4 video and its not playing on Safari. First slide has an mp4 file that plays fine and in other browsers (Chrome, Firefox) both play fine. Tried googling an answer and saw an incomplete response regarding htaccess, but am unclear. You can view the videos here: http://prophet.staging.wpengine.com/

Thanks!

Hey!

Have you ran the videos all through the same converter? I recommend a free online one in the user guide http://video.online-convert.com/convert-to-mp4

Also make sure you’re including a webm and mp4 for all video slides for maximum cross browser compatibility

Cheers

Thank you, this fixed the issue.

For those reading this in the future, the link supplied by ThemeNectar above is the tool to convert to mp4 (http://video.online-convert.com/convert-to-mp4). Here’s the link a link to the webm convertor: http://video.online-convert.com/convert-to-webm

As stated, just convert your video to both versions and then upload into the appropriate place of the slide settings.

Thanks again,

Allen

Hey – glad to hear that sorted it for you :)

Is it possible to combine elements from each of the demos?

Hey,

Yes – the demos just serve as examples for what’s possible design wise, you can also import multiple sets of data to get both sets of pages to copy/paste elements if you don’t know how to create them. What were you trying to add?

Cheers

I need to be able to filter Portfolio items on a page A to Z. how can i do this with your Portfolio module?

This would need to be modded in the nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php file

$portfolio_arr = array(
    'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,
    'post_type' => 'portfolio',
    'project-type'=> $category,
    'paged'=> $paged
);

See this in regards https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters

Good afternoon , all right?

I noticed that we now have Chance to add the demonstration in Salient panel.

I would like to add a statement on mine, but did not want to lose the content you have on it.

If I apply a Demo version , I will lose the content you already have?

Thank you.

Hey – if you import the dummy data set from the options panel it will overwrite your current options panel settings. So make a backup if you haven’t before importing. As for your content, nothing will be erased – just the new pages will be imported and added to your existing ones

hi there – Accent Color says there’s “six pre-picked colors that are guaranteed to look awesome!” but only four show up – is this a mistake? if not can we get it back up to 6?

Hey, that was referring to the predefined colors that used to exist in the bottom of the old theme options panel prior to v7.0 – however there was never more than 4 accent/extra colors that were able to be set. I’ve noted to change the wording to avoid confusion

will other VC plugs work with Salient’s VC, such as Pro Box Layouts? http://proword.net/VC_Pro_Post_Layout/demo-2/

The recent posts element simply is meant to show a fewer amount of posts, the styles offered are different because of this

How do i make the Blog 4 columns instead of 3?

Add this into the custom css box:

body .masonry-blog-item {
    width: 23.1%;
}

Cheers

the PAGE 1 of 4 buttons are not sitting at the bottom of my blog…..I used the template and didn’t make any changes…do you know where they are? Sharns http://www.sharneebennett.com/blog/

http://www.sharneebennett.com/blog/ – it is on this page. The search bar is not working and the page 1 of X is not showing either. Also, how do I remove the shopping cart symbol on the very right hand side? many thanks, Sharnee

Hey,

1. Make sure you have the extended pagination on in your Salient options panel > blog tab

2. You can turn off the wocommerce ajax shopping cart in your woocommerce tab in the Salient options panel

As for your search input not working – are you on the current release of the theme?

Cheers

Hey there, the search box on my blog does not appear to be displaying correctly so it can’t be used….have I set this up properly, are there any additional steps to take? Thank-you Sharns http://www.sharneebennett.com/news/

Hey,

The URL you’ve shared leads to a 404, but checking out the /blog destination on that URL i’m not seeing a search widget active in the sidebar – are you referring to something else? If so, could you kindly provide a screenshot in regards to show what you’re seeing?

Cheers

This is driving me crazy. I paid for this theme a month ago and still not been able to use it. How do I get support?? It’s like the whole system is designed to be as confusing and unhelpful as possible. How do I submit a ticket? How do I start a new fresh install of the theme? How do I update to the newest version of the theme? How do I import the content/images shown on the demo? How do I get the Visual Composer to look like it does on your marketing images? Your marketing states that no coding knowledge is needed, yet your answers here treat people as though they have advanced coding knowledge. Answers to these basic questions should be clearly available. Your ‘tutorial’ videos are outdated and explain nothing useful. Your answers on here all seem rushed and lack care. Where do I find out how to use this theme???? I paid for a package which includes support and I don’t feel that commenting on a thread like this and receiving a brief unhelpful reply days later qualifies as support.

Hey there,

How do I get support?? It’s like the whole system is designed to be as confusing and unhelpful as possible. 
You can open a ticket at the support forum linked on the main product page https://themenectar.ticksy.com or simply ask your question here :)

How do I submit a ticket?
The link provided above is the place to do that.

How do I start a new fresh install of the theme?
Without seeing you URL it’s impossible for me to know what you’ve done so far to accurately answer this – are you referring to deleting old content you’ve created In WordPress? or simplifying deleting the theme and reinstalling but leaving your WordPress content intact

How do I update to the newest version of the theme?
By downloading it again from here, deleting your old copy and uploading the new one OR using the Envato toolkit plugin http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/toolbox-of-the-smart-wordpress-developer-the-envato-wordpress-toolkit--cms-23883

How do I import the content/images shown on the demo?

There is a demo importer tab inside of the Salient options panel to install the demo setups in one click http://i.imgur.com/6LgNhDy.jpg – most images are not included and are swapped for placeholders though this is mentioned in the main theme description page “The sample images viewed in the live preview are for demo purposes only and are not included with your purchase” and shown in the youtube tutorials

How do I get the Visual Composer to look like it does on your marketing images?
What does it look like on your end? Have you installed it from Appearances > install plugins in your admin panel? Ensure you’re using the Salient Visual Composer and not the regular Visual Composer (If you already had that plugin installed separately prior to using Salient)

Your marketing states that no coding knowledge is needed, yet your answers here treat people as though they have advanced coding knowledge.
I provide css snippets here for people who need a quick modification and have paid support – most authors wouldn’t do that and simply say that it doesn’t fall in the scope of support, but if it’s reasonable, I’m happy to save the people who are new to web design the trouble and cost of hiring a freelancer :)

Your ‘tutorial’ videos are outdated and explain nothing useful. 
I’m sorry you feel this way. The library started a while ago so the early ones are shown on older versions however, the concepts still apply to the current version.

Your answers on here all seem rushed and lack care.
I don’t request anyone rate the theme 5 stars, most people do because they’re happy with what they’ve experienced with the theme and support :)

Cheers

Id like to create custom icons for the inline-portfolio-filters. I’ve taken it out of the Div but keep getting stuck is there a simple link that i can apply to a custom iconic button that i create in a row above the portfolio section that will sort the portfolio?

Hey,

Unfortunately having custom links triggering the sort would require JS development – it would be best to target the filters with css and add the icon in that way

Cheers

Hi, I have added blog posts content to my page, there is no “back” arrow when pagination is truned on. I can go just to next pages but there is no button “last page” how can i add it to theme?

Hey,

Could you please open a ticket in regards with your URL so I can take a further look? https://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Cheers

Hi Support.

Is there a way to shorten the width of the dropdown menu? I have four tiers and the last tier gets lost on smaller screens.

Thanks! David

Try changing it to

body header#top .sf-menu li ul li a {
  color: #fff;
}

Perfect! Thank you!! Best theme and support on themeforest.

You’re very welcome :)

I just installed the latest wordpress and bought this theme which I am really fired up about. I am having trouble with the demo importer though. On all demo’s the import button spinner just goes forever and does not seem to actually do anything. I tried completely uninstalling/reinstalling with no change. Everything else sees to be working fine. Any thoughts?

figured it out. did not have php-xml installed

Hey – glad you got it sorted :)

Hi, is it possible to set a random video content on home page? I’d like to have 3/4 videos to play random each time users go on my home page.

Hey,

as of now this would require some custom development i’m afraid

Cheers

Hey ThemeNectar, i bought the template via another account for another project. Now i would love to use it for a different customer – do i have to purchase it therefore again? Best regards, Lukas

Hey,

The license is indeed meant to be used once per domain

Cheers

Huge problem. The ‘upload’ button is not working in the dashboard, on both Chrome and Firefox. Need a fix ASAP!

Hey, if you’re already verified that no third party plugins you have active are causing this please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Thanks, replied to the ticket. Note: the link to ticksy showed a broken link wasn’t working when first sent.

Could you kindly let me know the ticket ID?

Cheers

Hi there! I’m trying to edit the font color that shows up on the portfolio thumbnail overlay. I have two identical portfolio stacks – one is on my home page, showing recent projects, and one is on my portfolio page, showing all projects.

Both are using the “Meta on hover + entire thumb link” project style setting. And I’ve gone into every single project and edited the project accent colors, project title colors, and project date/custom excerpt colors.

The problem I’m seeing is that on the home page, the title shows up in grey text and the date shows up in white text. The grey text is unreadable on the colored overlay. On my portfolio page, both the title and excerpt colors are white (as defined in the individual project settings). How can I repeat this behavior on the home page?

Hey!

1. http://i.imgur.com/6OjdVnJ.jpg ON the home page i’m seeing the projects showing the title in white, could you share a screenshot showing what’s on your end?

2. Are you referring to the “Hi, i’m Gareth” section or the menu icon which shows as white with 75% opacity when not hovered and 100% opacity when hovered?

Hey, thanks for the reply!

1. I actually removed the home page entirely, and replaced it with “Work” page as the front page, since I couldn’t get the font colors on the overlay to show up correctly on the home page. No big deal, this solution works just as well :)

2. I actually figured out what was causing the font color inconsistency in the header. I realized it was only starting as dark text (even though i had it set to white text when the header is transparent) when it was overlapping a Nectar slider at the top of the page. Did some further testing, and realized it was only doing that when the slider was set to use parallax. Once I turned the parallax setting off, the problem was gone.

Hey again!

Glad to hear you got things sorted

Cheers

Hi,

I hope all is well!

My portfolio page (http://www.courtrightdesign.com/portfolio/?) isn’t showing any of my work. All it shows is the header and footer.

Thanks for your help

Just checking back on this issue.

Thanks

Hey, I can see the images sized wrong on ios while loading, but after the page loads they size correctly – have you tried to turn on the standard page transitions available in the options panel?

I just tried turning on standard page transitions and it’s still not working, unfortunately.
