Hi, I just purchased your theme. Great work! I’m just wondering if there is a way to add a “load more” button to the portfolio? For example, I would like the default view to just show 9 items with a button below to show more with ajax/jquery?
Thanks for a great theme!
Hey Abbebabbe, thanks a lot for buying the theme!
Of course you could add that functionality through jQuery/ajax, but it would require development. There currently is nothing set up for that inside of the theme at the moment.
Hi,
This is a really nice theme. The files and code are very clean and well organised. Nice work.
I have a silly question. If I want to edit the font.css direct, how can I do that without it resetting itself. Or is all dynamic?
Kind Regards, Kym
Thank you very much madewithpassion 
The fonts.css is indeed dynamically recreated each time you save changes in the options panel. However, it is created based on what is inside of the fonts.php file, which you could edit and your changes would be reflected in the fonts.css upon saving in the options panel 
Hi,
Great theme.
I have a couple of questions: 1. How do I expand the image on the slider so on large screens I don’t have black spaces on both sides of the image?
2. How do I change the positioning of the text/link on top of the slider?
3. How do I change the width of the website? I want to control where my logo is positioned as well as show the nav when the width of the browser window is smaller (1024px).
4. How do I add an additional custom section to the homepage? i am interested in adding a custom row with a set height.
5. Last but not least, where do I change the animation of the dots loader… .. that run at the beginning of the slider? I would like to use a different image.
Thanks a lot! Great job!
Hey ofolman, thanks for purchasing the theme!
1. Initially I had set the background images of the slider to automatically cover the screen width so this problem would never arise. Unfortunately, for cross browser compatibility with the parallax effect, I had to change the images to be a fixed width. The good news is at least you know your parallax slider will display great in all modern browsers! 
One way to remedy this would be to simply create an extra large image that would fill even the largest of resolutions. The other option would be to wait until the next update, where I am allowing you guys to have control over the color of each slide’s background. This way you can at least change the extra space on the sides of your images to match the slide itself.
2. The text and caption’s position are automatically calculated inside the init.js JavaScript file, so you would need to edit that.
3. This would require editing both the responsive.css and rgs.css stylesheets. It wouldn’t just be one or two lines to change, so I would recommend finding someone who is comfortable with css.
4. Whatever you put in the editor on the home page will automatically display under the slider. You can essentially add whatever you want in there using our shortcodes for columns and extra elements.
5. The loading animation can be found inside the img > icons folder under the name loading.gif. Just replace that with whatever you desire 
I love your theme and enjoy using it very much.
I’d like to add a crumblepath at the beginning of each page (for increased internal linking). Could you show me how to do that?
Also, is it possible to change the color of the header text for each page (perhaps even individually)?
Hey Hugovandijke, thanks for buying the theme! 
- I might add breadcrumbs as an optional feature in a future release. For now, if you want to add that functionality you would need to install a plugin.
- You could change the header text by adding this snippet to the Custom CSS box in your theme options panel:
this is for the h1 tag
.row .col.section-title h1{
color: YOUR COLOR;
}
this is for the header subtitle
.row .col.section-title span {
color: YOUR COLOR;
}
if you need to change the heading text color for your headers that have a background image, the snippet would look slightly different:
this is for the h1 tag
#page-header-bg h1 {
color: YOUR COLOR;
}
this is for the header subtitle
#page-header-bg .subheader {
color: YOUR COLOR;
}
If you wanted to change them on a per page bases you would need to add the unique body class of your desired page at the beginning of each selector. e.g.
body.page-id-24 #page-header-bg h1 {
color: YOUR COLOR;
}
Hello,
I purchased your theme and tried to upload it to my wordpress but the install failed. This is the error message that I received: “The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.”
Could you help me out with this? I was really looking to activate the theme tonight.
bosueke, thanks for buying the theme!
Are you sure you are selecting the zip folder (salient.zip) when uploading?
Yes, definitely. I’ve tried to upload it about 3 times now. Same error message.
Okay, well, if you open the .zip up is the style.css indeed missing?
No it’s not missing. It’s there.
Would you mind sending me a PM so we can work through this outside of the comments? 
HI I just purchased this theme for wordpress about 4 days ago and i am having a problem with one of the pages i am using the provided text boxes and headers on this page and inside of the textbox there is a problem with the text i also use the tinymouse plugin (word processer toolbar) and some of the text in one of the paragraphes is showing up on the page as if it were centered justified when on the page i have specifically made suremultiple times even in the html that it is left aligned but it shows up that it is centered aligned the page is http://allenruyletherapy.com/?page_id=24 thank you so much i love the theme i dont even know if it is part of the theme or the colum but i have ran out of ideas for this. thanks so much
p.s. i am a 13 year old and i am working on my dads website so apologize for my spelling errors and my lack of website knowledge thanks so much bye
Hey, thanks for purchasing the theme!
When you select the attribute “Boxed Column” in addition to giving your column a nice pretty box style, it will also automatically center the text inside of it. I can see you have paragraph tags around all of the paragraphs except the top one that you’re having problems with. All of the paragraph tags that I do see are successfully canceling out the centered text align through their inline style. Are you sure you have a paragraph tag around the top one in the editor that looks like this:
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
If you check in the editor and there is indeed a paragraph tag around the one you’re having problems with and it’s still not negating the centered alignment, paste this into your “Custom CSS” box in the General Settings tab inside your Theme Options Panel. 
body.page-id-24 .col.boxed { text-align: left!important; }
Thank You so much you were right there wasnt a paragraph tag in front of it i probably delted it on accident but its fixed thanks so much
Bye
You’re welcome 
Hi! Is there a twitter widget/shortcodes included? Also, how does the theme handle embedded images, is there lightbox functionality included? Thanks!
Hey olnhausendesign!
There are many shortcodes included, all which can be seen in the theme demo on the Features > Elements page.
As of the current version, there is no built in option to add a lightbox link wherever you want, but that is defiantly a feature I will try to add in the next release!
Hi ThemeNectar, I just noticed when I upload new picture to the portfolio section they are not working properly. I mean if I upload just a preview image I have got a black square instead of any image. If I upload a preview image and a featured image then I see the featured image instead of the preview image. So always shown just a featured image. Have you got any suggestion or solution for this issue?
Thanks Istvan
Hey istvanantal, thanks for buying the theme!
The “Preview Image” only applies if you are posting a video. That’s why the field is inside of the “Video Settings” box. Its purpose is to display an image of your video before the user presses play.
The featured image is always the image that is shown for each portfolio item on the main portfolio page as well as in the more details page. The only difference is, on the more details page the image will display larger and not cropped.
Let me know if I cleared things up for you 
Yep. Clear what you said,but first time (before the update) I uploaded preview image and featured images separately and then I saw the preview image in the display box and I saw the featured image when I clicked to the “view larger” or “more details” button. and that was not video. I will send a pm with my website and you can see what I mean.
You should try and not upload a preview image at all unless you are featuring a self hosted video in the project. That is it’s only purpose and it will confuse you/mess things up if you use it incorrectly.
Hi. Really nice theme. One thing that this theme would really benefit from is a clients section where you can add logos. It’s a really important feature for any creative agencies. Is there a way to do that at the moment? There are quite a few themes on here where you can add them to the home page with some sort of page builder as well as having a dedicated ‘Clients’ page. Some sort of hover effect over the logos would be awesome.
Hopefully you could add this and I would certainly buy the theme.
Cheers
Hey galleryj, I’m glad to hear you like the theme!
If you wanted a clients section, this could easily be accomplished by just placing the logos in columns. Salient has an extensive grid system built in that allows you make all sorts of cool layouts by using our in-house shortcode generator 
I bought your theme, but I can’t upload images to the slider. When I press the upload button, nothing happens. Please help.
Hey aimlabstanford, thanks for purchasing the theme!
Are you using WordPress v3.5?
Hello, this is a really beautiful theme. I have been checking how the theme displays for our top ten visitor configs. A lot of people are disabling java. I tested your theme with java disabled and all I got was a black screen. You can not seem to view or use the website at all with java disabled. You can view the full results here: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/130406_Y6_87P/1/screen_shot/
Hey,
I’m guessing you mean JavaScript and not Java? (they are two totally different things)
The image you see of all black is actually the home slider just not loading any images because you in fact have disabled JavaScript. JavaScript is essential to allow image sliders of all kinds to function correctly and I wouldn’t expect any to work without it.
yes. However, usually the lack of javascript will simply cause the item to not display. Having a massive black section to welcome prospective customers is not very good. I am looking for a theme to replace our existing theme, so I have a huge list of all user stats and I need a theme that works for at least 80% of our users. 46% have javascript disabled. As more and more users become aware of security issues, they attempt to address the issue or are given incorrect advise from websites that suggest they entirely disable javascript. The problem is that more and more people are disabling javascript and themes need to be able to display in a clean manner for people to see even if they have javascript disabled. I know they wont see sliders etc, but if they have no js, then it should be hidden. The problem (it would seem) with the theme at the moment is that when js is disabled, it does not hide all the coding that relies on the js, leaving a website that simply looks broken.
Sorry, just to follow up on what you said. I do not expect the slider to display when js is disabled, but I do expect it to fully hide all js elements and elements associated with them so that when someone without js visits the site, they only see working items. My current theme hides the slider when you do not have js enabled so that it does not display in the manner in which your theme currently does. You may want to add this to your list of changes to make. I am only commenting as your theme made it to my final list, but was excluded when i ran tests without js.
That’s an alarmingly high number of users you have that don’t have JavaScript enabled. Even if a website takes precautions to try and look normal without scripting, the odds are a lot of functionality will be broken. Even Facebook’s functionality crumbles without JavaScript. I believe in graceful degradation, but if that’s you main concern right now you should wait to purchase this theme. I will address how the website behaves without JavaScript in a future release, but I have other items in the queue that have been requested by buyers that have to take precedence right now. I will let you know when this issue has been taken care of though. 
I know, the numbers seem to be a lot higher for non-tech sites. Tech sites have a lot less. I am using Google Analytics to get the data. As it stands this is how our visitors look: 1) Chrome JS enabled 2) Firefox JS Disabled 3) Mozilla compatible JS Disabled 4) Android Browser JS Disabled
So unfortunately, I am left looking at mostly JS Disabled (more than 50%).
I know that there will be no functionality for the non JS users, but all I need is that the items associated with JS functions are hidden. Otherwise, you have the JS hidden and the associated items displaying, which creates a mess. It is amazing the number of themes that completely fail when JS is disabled. I dont mean the slider fails, I mean the entire website is totally unusable. While I think disabling js is a bad idea, there should be some fallback even if that only includes the removal of js features.
Thank you
Good news!
I have addressed the disabled JS problem and it will be included in the next release 
Hello,
here are my next things I would like 
http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/5406/screenshot20130406at853.png
2. Search on the mobile is lacking. And I can’t put Search widget where I like – it doesn’t show up.
3. Post date needs to show year (as an option)
4. On the blog – site numbers (not just arrows)
5. Behance link in the footer
6. Images in portfolio as previously said -> every image visible one under the next, and mixed media, and ability to infinitely add images not just 6 
Thank you for your work!
Hey inferno2nite,
I will see what I can do about adding these features in the next release 

I was creating the slider images and I realized that when the browser is resized the left and right of the slider are just black. I am currently not able to work on a iMac 27” but would this mean that 27” iMac users would see a black bar on the left and right of the slider image?
Thanks.
I love this theme! I’m new to wordpress themes so I have two questions before buying: 1. Can you integrate “facebook likes” to portfolio or blog posts? 2. How can I put a “change language button” to have different versions of the site?? Thanks!
Hey carlosric, I’m happy to hear you love the theme 
Both of the things you have asked about would require external plugins and possibly some development, as they are not built into the theme.
Thanks for taking an interest!
Hey Josh, thanks for buying the theme! Your setup is indeed looking very nice, I’m digging the feel of it so far 
I don’t see the black box that you’re talking about at the moment but from the sounds of it, you were probably seeing the background color of the slider. You would only see this if the image you uploaded wasn’t tall enough to fill the slider. Have you already corrected this, or do you still see something I don’t?
It gives me an error
http://goproyect.es/proyectos-diseno-grafico-web/ when I click on More details :/Hey virplay, thanks for purchasing!
Try to refresh your permalinks. Go to Settings > Permalinks and click Save Changes.
Let me know if that fixes things up for you 
Yeah!
thx
Excellent!
Great! 
easy question: how do I not show the preview image on the blog post?
Enter this snippet into the custom CSS box in the theme options panel:
.post-featured-img {
display: none;
}
Thx. U are the best
No problem! 
With regards to your answer to jaraujo earlier,
For me I was referring to just stacking images on the left one on top of each other. Have the feature image/video at the top and then multiple images of the same project stacked below. For motion graphics it would be nice to show style frames stacked rather than in a slider gallery. It is easier to see the flow of the concept. Also for graphic design pieces, multiple page editorial designs, kit folders, stationary etc. I feel all the images of one project viewable at once is a stronger presentation than sliding through images one at a time.
Also I feel the multiple portfolio pages is a very sought after feature. For creatives & studios that do multiple types of work its key to have different portfolio pages for the different types of work they do. Filtering within each makes it just that much more organized without having tons of filtering tags on top of one portfolio page.
For me just within a portfolio page for Motion Design I could have 5 or 6 filters. Now add in all the different filters for print design, logos & photography and you see how a mess of filter tags and just so many portfolio examples gets to be a bit much for just one portfolio page. Something to consider which I’m sure will strengthen your theme and generate much more sales. Like I said it is a rare feature which I’m surprised doesn’t get implemented in so many of the creative themes.
Also subtle smaller thumbnails to make for a more compact grid would be a great option which many would also appreciate, I assure you on this.
Ryan,
Thank you for writing such a detailed analysis of the features you are seeking, and thank you for your recommendations. You have valid points.
As you know, I don’t have anything against adding these features. I will just need to figure out a way of accomplishing them so that when previous buyers upgrade nothing will break and it all will remain optional. I will take some time soon to start plotting the best way to attack this, and hopefully, at least some of these features can pushed out in the release 
Thanks again!
Amazing. Cheers.
Really like this them.
1. How coustumizable is it?
Love it!
Need it!

First of all GREAT Theme! I am personally not quite ready to use it yet because I would like to have more initial portfolio items on the homepage. I would like the visitors to see 6 portfolio items instead of clicking to see 3 more every time. Are you possibly working on a feature like this?
Have you tried to the retina.js file on your theme? I would really like to use in combination with your theme?
Thank in advance!
Thanks!
- I have not begun developing any such feature, but if a few people request it I will do my best to accommodate!
- I have not tested with retina.js, but it’s a pretty straightforward script. So as long as you take the necessary steps to get all of your images in place, it should work fine 
Thanks for the quick response!
- That would be a great feature for this theme! Keep me updated if more people request this.
- retina.js: Sounds good!
- I noticed when I click a portfolio item on the Iphone 4. The hover function appears. But you have to hold for it to show up all the way. And because you hold it longer, you select the images to copy it. I hope this makes sense.
- question: Do mobile devices download smaller image files, or are all the files the same size(desktop, tablet, mobile)?
No problem!
- Will do!
- 
- This is the first time I’m hearing about this bug (and I thought I was done with iPhone 4 issues!)
I’ll have to look into it later and see what I can do about it
However, I just checked on andriod, and I can assume the iPhone 5 also doesn’t have this bug. I’ll still double check that too later though.
-Mobile devices download the same images that are served to desktop users, unless you have a replacement script or make a bunch of media queries to replace them.
- 3. haha, sorry to bring bad news
. Let me know if you need any specific OS info. Its on the iPhone 4S.
- 4. Thanks for the info. Something I will look at later.
Great theme! Keep up the good work!
