I would love to use Iconsmind icons in the “Text with Icon” element, is that possible? And if not, will it come in a future update?

Hey, I’ve noted the idea for the wishlist – unfortunately it would take modding to the files as of now

Is there a way to increase the video lightbox player height for Youtube embeds? Like it is right now, the player is too short in height. It happens both in Android and iOS.

See the image for more details. http://i.imgur.com/5QjLIF3.jpg

Hey,

Switch your lightbox script to magnific in the Salient options panel > general settings > functionality tab

Cheers

Thanks ThemeNectar! That did the trick and it’s working perfectly now…

Glad to hear! :)

Hey Theme Nectar

On desktop the copyright in the footer is left aligned, and the social icons are right aligned, however when at mobile size, the social icon goes underneath the copyright.

I only have 1 social icon, so I would like copyright and socials to display side by side even on on mobile – is this possible?

Thanks

Hey radisafi,

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

.mobile #copyright .container .col {
    width: auto!important;
    display: inline-block;
    float: none;
    vertical-align: middle;
}
Cheers
I can insert as an adsense? Masonry Blog Fullwideth http://prntscr.com/eoxn2j

And how do I do that, or who can do that?

The files to mod would be located in includes/post-templates – if you’re not comfortable with custom coding, there are services such as Envato Studio for small customization projects

I have in Envato Studio Asked, but unfortunately no one can help me! I can maybe paste as advertising, without adsense simply banner! See Screenshot http://prntscr.com/exrvtb http://prntscr.com/exrw78

Hey Nectar, we want to combine some js and css files into one to speed up the website, because the website makes a lot of requests about 45 and its kind of slow. To do this safely we would like to know what each css and js file does so we dont mess up the site. So we know which one to combine and which one not. Do you have a list or a log that explains what each file does and which are less important?

Thanks

Hey toolbox101, please read the documentation in regards http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/performance-optimization-guide/

Cheers

Hi mate,t thanks for all previous help.

I have one minor last thing.

I have two portfolio pages setup, but the heights seem to be different.

I like the heights of this one: http://www.crewbuild.com/gallery-completed/ and I’d like the heights of the images for this one to be the same: http://www.crewbuild.com/facades/

can you let me know where the setting is for this, I cant seem to find out how i’ve done this, it was a while ago.

the images are the same size for the featured images for both pages.

cheers Grant

Hey Grant!

It appears in the second one you’re using the custom thumbnail option as opposed to just the featured image, when using that upload field there is no cropping applied and the sizing ratio is up to you. If you’d like the Salient wide item sizing of (1000×500) to be applied you must remove the custom thumbs

Cheers

in theory, if I were to upload images that were of the thinner crop size I want, would that change it, or would it instead still stretch it out to be the larger crop size?

Hey, that would end up stretching the wide_tall out of its normal aspect ratio – if you want to create a custom image sizing scheme you can edit the nectar_add_image_sizes function in the functions.php or add it to your child theme. Then you just have to run this to recreate the images https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

I’m trying to change the color of the nectar slider background. Currently, there is a black or dark gray background behind the slides. I’d like it to be white. I looked around the comments section and found this code … is this correct? If so, I’m not getting it to work.

.nectar-slider-loading { background-color: #fff!important; background-image: none!important; }

Hey, that’s for the slide loading BG – if you want to change the single slide BGs use this:

body .swiper-slide {
  background-color: #fff!important;
}

Hi. I’m using a “touch enabled & spaced” gallery with 4 columns, inside of a tab. I have a few questions:

1. ) I have the “controls” set to Next/Prev arrows. Can I control the placement of the arrows? At the moment, they show up on top of the outer (1s and 4th) images and are hard to see. I’d like to place them on either side of the outer images so they don’t sit directly on top of the outer images.

2.) Can I control they way the arrows look? They are made of very thin lines at the moment. It would be great if they could look just like the nectar slider arrows.

3.) When I drop that carousel into a “tab”, there is a lot negative space between the top of the carousel and the tab navigation. When I put other content types inside of a tab, there isn’t that much negative space between the content and the tab navigation. I’ve tried removing all padding from all rows and columns. Can you think of any reason I’m seeing so much extra negative space?

4.) Do you guys do work for hire? In other words, if I wanted to hire you to adjust this them for one of my clients, is that a service you offer as a developer?

Hey I don’t have any specific user to recommend, but you should be able to expect quality since it’s an Envato based system :)

Thanks!

You’re welcome :)

Hey there. Can you please provide the CSS to remove the padding that surrounds the Image Comparison? I would like it to be full width. Thank you.

Hey, here you go:

body .twentytwenty-wrapper {
    padding: 0!important;
}

Cheers

Hi Guys,

I want to change the look of my site from the “original” style to the “one-page” style. I know that the theme has a Demo Importer but I don’t want to take the risk of losing all my content (and I’m not sure if WordPress has finally found a way to export ALL of a website’s content exactly).

Can you guys point me to the right direction in the theme where I can combine the pages I have to one or the option where I can just switch from the original to one page?

Also, I’m thinking of adding a blog to my site so I wonder how will the blog look on a one page site? Can I have a few articles shown on the one page and have the rest of the articles load up on a separate page? Can you show any examples if possible?

Hey Jmondesir,

1. Are you referring to this demo? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-one-page If so, it’s just making use of the animated anchor links option https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj-NQ3YItlc&t=9s

2. Yes – you can use the recent posts element to display a few and include a link to the full blog page as I demonstrate in this demo themenectar.com/demo/salient-band

Cheers

is there anyway to remove the header?

Hey fielmonk23, yes – there’s a page template for that as of 8.0

Cheers

Hey- the full screen portfolio demo, can we achieve scroll by mouse or is it only controlled by the lines/arrows?

Hey, as of now it’s only controllable by the arrows/pagination

Hi guys,

Can you tell me why my portfolio doesn’t display on tablet in the same way it does on desktop?

This is how it displays on desktop (and the way I want it to display on tablet): http://www.petcheckers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/desktop.jpg

But this is how it looks on tablet: http://www.petcheckers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/tablet.jpg

How do I fix it?

Thanks

Hey 0754ben84,

The masonry column sizes change for smaller screens with the constrained masonry layout – it doesn’t work so well with your setup of only three items and no regular sized items. You would need to use the fullwidth layout with the constrain to 4 col option to achieve what you’re trying to

Cheers

That’s worked a treat, thanks.

How do I now increase the size of the text on the tiles as it’s tiny?

Thanks again

Hey,

@media only screen and (max-width: 1300px) and (min-width: 1000px), (max-width: 690px) {
.row .span_2 h3, .row .span_3 h3, .row .span_4 h3, .row .vc_col-sm-2 h3, .row .vc_col-sm-3 h3, .row .vc_col-sm-4 h3 {
    font-size: 35px!important;
    line-height: 31px!important;
}
}

Hi Guys,

My portfolio has a dark overlay on mobile view that isn’t there on desktop view.

I have recorded a video where you can see it changing.

http://www.petcheckers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Recording-1.mp4

How do I remove that dark overlay on mobile view?

Thanks

Ben

Hey Ben,

As the images get smaller for mobile devices, the overlay is added to help with readability – add this into the custom css box to remove it

@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
body .portfolio-items[data-ps="8"] .col[data-default-color="true"] .work-item:not(.style-3) .work-info-bg {
    display: none!important;
}
}

Cheers

Hi,

I’ve recently inherited a website that has purchased this Salient theme.

First off, it is a great theme! And am a new to this.

I was reading through this comments section and came across a comment posted 2 years ago citing an example link at:

http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/be-my-guest/

How do I achieve this effect of having the top part of my hero image on the landing page showing up beneath the header and top menu ? Do I set the header background to transparent so that it sits on top of the hero image? Where and how do I do this?

Hey alt_leo,

You have to activate the option titled “Use Transparent Header When Applicable” located in the Salient options panel > header navigation > transparency tab

Cheers

Wow! Thanks so much. Just a simple setting! We live and learn.

You’re very welcome :)

Hi there :) Can I have an inner vc row extend fullwidth on mobile? I tried a few things, but cannot seem to get it right. Thank you for the help in advance :)

Hey uncoeur11,

Could you share the URL where you’re trying to achieve this so I can see the setup?

Cheers

HI I was just looking at your new Restaurant demo. The inner grid layout – can it stretch full width on mobile?

Hey, unfortunately not without custom modding since the parent row is containing it but I’ve noted the idea for the wishlist as more responsive options will be coming :)

Where can I download Salient V8? I have downloaded lastest version but it is still V7.6

Thanks for updating to new Version 8 but it would be nice if you let me know when you have done that. It was exactly the same file name but not the same version. I have been waiting for 9 days and nobody let me know about it. Anyway thank you.

Hey – V8.0 has been out for a month and available to download, i’m sorry you experienced confusion since ThemeForest supplies the same name for the actual theme download regardless of the version

I’m using advanced custom fields for mapping. it all works fine but when i activate your theme, i get the dreaded “oops something went wrong” error message. If i change to other themes everything works. Can you tell me how to fix this?

Hey rudtek, I can activate the plugin fine on my end so I would need to see the custom fields you’ve created to replicate on my end – could you open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials? https://themenectar.ticksy.com

it’s not an issue of plugin activation. If you create a google map field, attach it to a post and try to use it, you’ll see it doesn’t work. However switching themes and refreshing the post edit page will start it working on the post edit page again. Switch back to salient theme, and the field stops working again.

Can you tell me how to disable the google api for your theme?

Salient does not load any Google map scripts in the backend – from testing on my end that error message shows up with or without Salient active and is due to not supplying an API key. Google changed their map API to require an API key on any new domains calling it post June 2016. So if you have other websites or installs where you were using ACF on the domain prior to that date, the API wouldn’t be needed. However on any new installs on new domains it will:

https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/google-map/ https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/google-maps-field-needs-setting-to-add-api-key/

Have you already supplied an API key?

Hey,

Amazing one! I sure it’s the best wordpress 2016/2017 theme.

I would like to change the width concerning the OFF canvas Nav (50% width). I change what I want with CSS (it was 340px and I put 50%), but do you know how can I modify the function : closeNavCheck I’ve 3 different width off canvas Nav now (change with CSS) concerning the “new” off canvas menu I made. It’s possible to help me for that thing ? ;)

Thanks!

Hey flo1895!

The closeNavCheck function would need to be modified in the init.js file directly as of now, have you already done that without success?

Cheers

Hi, Yes I changed the width of the function, it’s work! But I would like to know if it possible to have different size depending on the width, 2 or 3 different size for the function closeNavCheck. For exemple closeNevCheck at 800px for width between 1920px and 1000px, closeNevCheck at 340px for width less than 1000px ;)

Thanks. Best

Quick Question…. A client is using your theme and has the Team photo element as a carousel. Does your elements give the ability to add a bio and contact forms (I could use shortcode for that form) for each upon click? Thanks!

Hey GreenixMKTG!

There’s the ability to add a bio that will open on click (bio shown fullscreen modal style) – but there’s no way to have a contact form in the popup – that would require custom development

Cheers
