Great theme. How do I add a custom font into the typography panel?

Thanks!

you’d need to mod it into nectar/redux-framework/options-config.php file if you wanted to actually have the font be selectable from the typography panel rather than just applying it via css selectors

Cheers

Thanks for the quick reply. Can you please let me know what code to paste onto which line of the options-config.php fie?

Any plans for an update to support the new woocommerce update?

Yep. it’s coming in the update which is landing shortly

Cheers

Hello, I’ve installed your theme with default settings and imported the blog dummy data. Why does the content in the blog view go underneath the menu?

It looks bad, especially for photos. How can this be fixed? Again, this is a stock install with dummy data. No additional customizations have been done.

Hey bizurk,

Could you please share your URL so I can take a further look?

Cheers

Hello there. Need version of Visual Composer 4.12 . Actually theme has 4.11.2 which is causing conflicts. Awaiting for an the update or files to update by myself. Awaiting your response.

Hey, it’s going to be included in the update which will be out as soon as Envato approves the Salient update in the review queue :)

hi Themenectar! My website’s fonts only look fine when I enter the url without the “www” in front of it. www.masteremergencyarchitecture.com and I’m not sure how to fix it… Could you point me in the right direction? Thank you!

Hey!

Try using this fix in your htaccess file: https://davidwalsh.name/cdn-fonts

Hi Nectar, i just puschased the theme and i’m very excided at the idea of descovering everything. I wondered how have a background image displayed with the roll box effect ? Can you tell me how to ? I hope my english is understandable. Thanks for your beautiful work !

Thanks honoliscious!

In the page header settings meta box at the bottom of every page there’s the option to turn on the box roll effect and you can indeed use an image or video BG :)

Cheers

RE Salient typography panel

Hello, does the typography settings panel only accept google fonts?? I added a font via @font-face and instead of changing the fonts via CSS everywhere i wanted it changed, i was hoping to just add it into the typography field. But it only seems to take the system fonts!

Hey vergedesign,

Where did you add it into list? If you wanted the name of a custom font to appear in the list you’d need to mod it into nectar/redux-framework/options-config.php file

Cheers

Hi there, is there an easy way to add meta data like comments or an external link to a lightbox image? Im using the portfolio Visual Composer element, set to LightBox Only so that the image expands into full view. I would like to add some text and a link to credit the image owner and link to their site.

Hey JamesMcComb,

In the media section of your admin panel when you click on the image, there’s a section on the right hand side that will allow you to add extra text, the “description” field

Cheers

Thank you.

You’re welcome :)

For some reason I can’t overwrite the woocommerce category page layouts. I’ve tried implementing two pages archive-product.php and taxonomy-product_cat-separates.php where separates is my category name and for some reason it continues to use the default salient category page. Can you please tell me why this is? I tested switching to twentyfifteen and it worked immediately. I’m using a child theme as well if that makes any difference.

So I found this and it looks like it’s the problem

http://docs.woothemes.com/document/third-party-custom-theme-compatibility/ Please note: when creating woocommerce.php in your theme’s folder, you won’t be able to override the woocommerce/archive-product.php custom template as woocommerce.php has the priority over archive-product.php. This is intended to prevent display issues.

Is there any way to get around this using salient?

Hey byronjt,

As of now the woocommerce.php file would need to be removed from the theme folder in order to get around it, but i’ve noted to remove it as well and implement the Salient markup in another way

Cheers

Hi Themenectar,

Is there a possibility to have a custom order for displaying the portfolio items, instead of ordering them by date by default.

Hey,

yes – you can use this plugin in regards :) https://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/

Cheers

Hi Themenectar,

Just wanted to +1 the support for vimeo or youtube hosted background videos :) Keep it rolling!

Hey, thanks for the +1 :)

Hey, I’m using the portfolio eye candy home page with masonry tiles to display items in my portfolio. I also have the word portfolio in my top menu. When I go to that page, ‘portfolio’, I have all my projects but in weird image sizes. How can I control that appearance? Thanks.

Hey mattg108,

Have you tried running a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/ ? If so please open a ticket in regards https://themenectar.ticksy.com with your admin credentials so I can take a look :)

Cheers

Two questions:

1) How can I make the footer appear on the Home – Alternative page?

2) Google Maps is coming up with an error, stating “This page didn’t load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details.” It appears on firefox, chrome and safari.

Hey iamjeffsmith,

1. The footer can be turned on and off from the footer options tab in the Salient options panel

2. The issue only applies to new domains where the maps script hasn’t been prior to June 22 of this year. This article explains it: https://www.latecnosfera.com/2016/06/google-maps-api-error-missing-keymap-error-solved.html

If you’re on a current version of Salient you can add the key into the map.js file in the js folder. The line to mod should be near line 589 of the file – $.getScript(‘https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&callback=mapAPI_Loaded'); will become $.getScript(‘https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&key=APIKEYHERE&callback=mapAPI_Loaded'); The next update will add an input for users to add the key in the admin panel

Cheers

Hey! I think there is a code missing in the search.php file in your theme. If you want to show up page thumbnails in search results page, do this:

1. Locate the file search.php and copy it to your child theme directory.

2. Open it and look for: else if( get_post_type($post->ID) == 'page' ){ ?> <article class="result"> <div class="inner-wrap"> <span class="bottom-line" /> <h2 class="title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> <span><?php echo __('Page', NECTAR_THEME_NAME); ?></span></h2> <?php if(has_excerpt()) the_excerpt(); ?> </div> </article><!--/search-result--> 3. Change it for this: else if( get_post_type($post->ID) == 'page' ){ ?> <article class="result"> <div class="inner-wrap"> <span class="bottom-line" /> <?php if(has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID )) { echo '<a href="'.get_permalink().'">'.get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'full', array('title' => '')).'</a>'; } ?> <h2 class="title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> <span><?php echo __('Page', NECTAR_THEME_NAME); ?></span></h2> <?php if(has_excerpt()) the_excerpt(); ?> </div> </article><!--/search-result-->

Cheers!

Hey, that code is still located in the search.php file, are you not seeing it in yours?

Cheers

I hadn’t notice it until a few days ago when I realized pages thumbnails were missing in search results pages. I am using the last version of this (great!) theme. Maybe is problem in my download? Just posted it in case anybody needs it.

Hi Themenectar,

Is there a way to have a Button Text not Wrap when browser window gets smaller? Instead it should just go in responsive mode when there is no place for the Button text to be displayed as is.

PS: A alternative to the section going responsive would be for all the buttons to wrap at the same time, if this is somehow possible. As of now, if the window gets smaller, at first, just some of the buttons start getting bigger to accommodate the text wrapping while others don’t.

Hey,

Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:


@media only screen and (max-width: 1100px) and (min-width: 1000px) {
.nectar-button.small {
    font-size: 9px!important;
}
}

Cheers

Great! It worked perfectly. Since our last request another 2 issues/questions have popped up: 1. How can we have our services buttons & Icons 3 columns row from the homepage, transition to a 2 column row on tablet version. 2. There is a pretty big space between footer and copyright section. We’d like to make it smaller and put a line between. The option for the separator line from the salient panel isn’t working somehow.

Hi,

How would I change the color of the footer background, text and text hover over at page level?

Thanks

Hey 0754ben84,

On your page in the visual composer css box use this:

#footer-outer {
    color: #ccc!important;
    background-color: #252525!important;
}
#footer-outer a {
    color: #000!important;
}

Cheers

Why does my site take a long time to load on mobile? www.4950woodwaydrive.com

Hey dyoungc, It appears you’re not browser caching or or other sort of caching – how long is he page taking to load for you on your mobile device?

The page header image when set does not display correctly on mobile ios ie. ipad and iphone. The background image displays really large and does not resize to the screen. I checked your demo on the ipad and got the same thing. Please help.

Hey dyoungc,

Please let me know what iPad/iPhone you’re using as i’m unable to reproduce this http://imgur.com/a/UJxPV http://imgur.com/a/02BaV

is there a way to disable the lightbox in the image gallery visual composer?

Hey muntzdesigns,

What gallery settings are you using? Could you share your URL in regards so I can take a look :)

Cheers

Is there a way to remove the auto add-to-cart functionality. I need the person to go to the product detail page to specify some parameters there before it is added to the cart. Thanks in advance!

Hey, you can just change the snippet to:

html .woocommerce ul.products .product .add_to_cart_button {
    display: none!important;
}
:)

Thank you :)

You’re welcome :)
