Okay, I’ve just finished setting up your theme at http://hrly.co. Can you let me know if i’ve missed anything?
Looking good!
-One thing that I’ve noticed since you first linked me your setup is the little smiley icon that’s sitting underneath the footer in the left-hand corner. I checked your source code and saw it’s from the plugin WP Stats. To remove that just add this in the custom CSS box via the theme options panel:
img#wpstats{display:none}
- Your contact map has no location marker on it.
- Your author bio section on the blog single page has no data.
Outside of those things, it looks like you’ve done a good job filling the theme out! (which is great, because I know you were having troubles a couple days ago). If you want a couple of tips for enhancing a few of the layout aspects, I will also gladly share them with you too 
Also, some of the buyers that upgraded to v1.1 were complaining about the shortcode generator not working anymore. Have you experienced any issues?
Thanks! That’s really helpful feedback.
- Where do you update your profile, outside of the standard profile? - I’d love some extra tips! - No issues with the shortcode generator.
Last question: If I wanted to have one portfolio just for photos, and photos posted to it would NOT go to the main portfolio feed. How would I do that with your theme?
- The description for the author bio section is pulled right from the profile description you enter in the admin panel at Users > Your User Name in the “Biographical Info” box.
- Right now the theme only supports one portfolio, so even if you exclude the photos category from the main one, unfortunately, there’s no where else to display it yet.
Hey. Beautiful theme! I’d love to buy your template but I’ve got a question, does it include its PSD?
Thanks!
unfortunately no PSD’s are included because most of the styles and elements you see are done with CSS except for a few exceptions.
Even if they are done with CSS it is better when you have a PSD to play with. Absolutely fell in love with the look and quality and despite lack of PSD I have bought it. Thanks and welcome to TF!
Thanks a lot andaluza! I really appreciate it 
Hi, I also updated the theme today and just like jdiazyo i can’t use the Shortcodes anymore.. also the contact page options has a problem. the Pin is’nt visible anymore..
The update reworked the contact section in the admin panel so you will have to navigate to it and update your map pin coordinates
Also, can you please inform me as to how to upgraded the theme?
Yes i noticed that. But even after updating the adres the pin did not appear. although the location as showed on the map is the right one.
and off course, i re-uploaded the theme folder in to the WP theme folder.. could this be the problem?
You should try deleting the old theme completely and uploading the new one so it doesn’t overwrite the old files
Also, make sure you’re activating the location #1 and entering the coordinates in there and not just entering in the lat lng for the map center.
Thank you for your response! it worked well after rename the themefolder and actualy reactivate it in wp
Nice!
Hi, Amazing theme !!!
I have one question, It’s possible add (go top) button. that it looks like this:
http://themeforest.net/item/hexagonal-clean-multipurpose-responsive-website/full_screen_preview/4359597Regards
Thanks!
I might add the go to top button as an optional feature in the next update 
thanks you
Thank you for the update. Works perfect. The only other question I have relates to the shortcodes. I noticed that they are not working. For example, I am trying to place a divider, but when I click the insert button, it stalls.
Hey jdiazyo!
All the shortcodes should be in working order.
Are you using an old version of IE by any chance? Could you do me a favor and please try to use the shortcode generator in a different browser and see if that solves your issue?
I am using Chrome. Just tried it in Firefox and it does not work
It was working before the update I noticed, but not since. I tried adding a button once, but now none of the options are available for ANY shortcode. Just shows the drop down. If you select something, it just sits there…
Yeah chrome shouldn’t have any issues. The only browser that would act weird is IE8.
Very strange though, I didn’t touch the shortcode section in the last update. I also just did a test upgrade locally and the shortcodes remain unchanged. I am going to spend some time investigating possible causes asap.
Also can you please let me know how you upgraded the theme? Did you delete the old theme and upload v.1.1?
Themeforest and used the zip file to directly upload. This is probably the 10th or 12th theme I have used here. It is interesting, but the shortcodes have disappeared for me. Not sure what everyone else is experiencing
Yes, deleted the old them uploaded the new
Did you delete the old theme before uploading v1.1?
Just a heads up, we’re getting the following error showing up at the bottom of the page at /wp-admin/admin.php?page=redux_options&tab=0&settings-updated=true
Warning: file_put_contents(wp-content/themes/salient/css/colors.css) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in wp-content/themes/salient/functions.php on line 986
Warning: file_put_contents(wp-content/themes/salient/css/custom.css) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in wp-content/themes/salient/functions.php on line 997
dsgndvlp,
You shouldn’t be getting any errors in regards to the options panel. However, I see that it might just be a simple a permissions error. Your server might automatically have set stricter permission rules than most. To fix this, chmod these files:
wp-content/themes/salient/css/colors.css wp-content/themes/salient/css/custom.css
to allow the server to write to them. If you don’t know how to do that, your hosting company should be able to take care of it for you very quickly
Please let me know if you get this sorted out!
ahhh, yep that did the trick! Thanks!
Excellent!
small bug that affects child themes:
on line 103 in functions.php:wp_register_style("main-styles", get_template_directory_uri() . "/style.css");
using get_template_directory_uri() will get the style.css location for the parent theme only. This needs to be changed to get_stylesheet_directory_uri() to get the location of a child theme style.css file when a child theme is being used.
Hey trevoreddy,
you’re right, I completely overlooked that! I’ll add this fix to the top of the queue
Hi,
Love this theme!
However, I have this theme nested within a site running another theme. So far, I cannot find a way to make your theme recognize my subdomain page as a homepage. Therefore, I cannot use the slider. Is there a way to have slider functionality on every page? Or is there a way to get the theme to recognize my sub as a home page?
Thanks
Hey, I’m happy to hear you love it!
You should still be able to assign one of the home templates to a page that isn’t necessarily the front page, or root of the website. Have you correctly assigned one of the home page templates?
Thanks for the quick reply; and yes I tried that many times. I could get other pages to act as a homepage, but not my sub landing page. But, none the less, all is well! For some fun reason unknown to me, my sub landing page will now accept the home template. I’m certain it was an error on my end. Thanks again.
No problem, I’m glad it’s all working for you now!
Hello,
Can i use a custom image as a background?
Ben
Hey Ben,
this would have to achieved using custom CSS as of the moment.
Thanks for a great update!
One question, you mentioned earlier that the theme had some problems with child themes. If I want to customise background color and such would you advise me to change the theme files or create a child theme as it is today?
The update fixed the issue with child themes, please see the new section in the user guide for help with creating a child theme
Great, thanks!
Another buyer has caught an unrelated minor bug with having a child theme that I am going to patch soon. For now if you want to fix it yourself, in functions.php on line 103 change the segment:
get_template_directory_uri()
to
get_stylesheet_directory_uri()
Hello,
i have a problem since the update : the date is not showing anymore in the single portfolio page.
Any idea please?
Thks
// Great theme by the way !
// Sorry, that’s ok !
There is now an option for you to toggle it in the options panel
What kinda tweaks?!
Yeah this theme is awesome – now all I need is someone to help tweak – do you guys recommend anyone?
Woo love your work, updating now
Update:
OMG THIS UPDATE IS AMAZING!! Thank you!
You’re very welcome!
I sent you an email with 3 tiny questions. If you have a sec can you take a look? Annoying client on my ass about it 
you know how we are
Sorry for not responding to your previous one, as you can imagine I have been super busy developing!
I will be responding to your current email shortly with answers for all your questions
All good, you’re doing an amazing job!
Hi. Nectar. How to update supplied dummy data?
Thanks for purchasing the theme, I really appreciate it!
Just go to Tools > Import and browse for the .xml dummy data file.
If you already have in dummy data from a previous version, the import should still go in fine and not overwrite the old data in case you have modified it.
Hey Nectar,
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how did you make the bullet points in the portfolio pieces colored? I keep trying to do it, but I fail every time. And how did you make them check mark icons? My bullets keep coming out as just plain gray dots.
jmcalaway, thanks for buying the theme!
Those colored check mark bullet points are not a standard unordered list. They are generated from the project attributes that you assign to each portfolio item. Let me know if you need any more help
Update…so…beautiful…thank you! tear
You guys spoke and I listened.
I am pleased to announce the release of Salient v1.1! Thanks for all of your excellent suggestions and for being patient while I brought them to life

Latin characters
Question about the logo…
I know you are working on a fix, but in the meantime your theme is somewhat unusable due to this logo. Do you have a present work around that will allow us to use it without this ity-bity tiny logo? Mine is so miniature you cannot even see the words.
The update is going to be pushed within an hour or two and ThemeForest will mostly likely approve it overnight
Not sure if I am repeating but the only thing I can say may need to be tweaked is the mobile menu. The menu items need to be touched twice in order to actually click. Seems like the first touch selects, then the second touch activates.
Yes, others have brought up some of the flaws with the mobile menu. I will have to take some time this week to see if I can nail them all down
