Installing Theme from uploaded file: themeforest-4363266-salient-responsive-portfolio-blog-theme.zip
Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed.
thedukeo7, thanks for buying the theme!
You need to make sure you are uploading salient.zip which is contained inside of the .zip ThemeForest gives you to download. Don’t try and upload themeforest-4363266-salient-responsive-portfolio-blog-theme.zip, instead open that up on your desktop and extract the salient.zip. Now try uploading that 
Let me know if you have any more problems!
I luv the theme – great work!
Just a quick question, How would I make the drop-down menu just dropping from the main parent page. I don’t like it to be dropping from the top white menu bar… Can you help?
Hey Latif, I’m glad you love the theme!
If you don’t want your dropdowns to appear, simply don’t add them in the custom menu. The pages will still exist, they just would be in the top menu and you can link to them in any other way you want
I want the drop-down to appear but why it is appearing by the image slider, not by the parent menu? do you know where its CSS class to adjust?
Latif, could you please provide me with a link so I can see what you’re talking about?
Hi again, thanks for the great support so far. I’m experiencing some errors with the characters åöä in headers. I’ve activated latin characters in the settings according to the instructions but the characters åöä are displayed in a different font that the rest of the header – it looks very strange. It also seems to vary from browser to browser, it’s most apparent in Firefox where the special characters are displayed in a serif font right in the middle of an arial header. Here is an example on my site: http://www.olnhausendesign.se/webbdesign/vara-webbtjanster/ Any ideas? Thanks!
Hey, no problem!
You have indicated that you have selected the option for including the extended Latin characters, but have you also selected the fonts for all the sections? If you only select the option for Latin chars, nothing will really happen. That option only applies for each font selected in the dropdowns.
Hi, thanks – that partially solves the problem. However, the characters åöä are still formatted incorrectly in blockquotes. Also, what is the font used by default? Is it possible to use the same font with the latin characters?
The blockquote not being affected by your custom fonts is an error and will be addressed in the upcoming update.
If you would like to simply use all the default fonts but with your characters you could download the webfont kit from here http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/open-sans
and choose your specific language subset. Then replace all the fonts in the css > fonts folder with your newly downloaded ones
Great! Looking forward to the next release. Also, the titles in the home slider don’t seem to be affected by the latin characters and are formatted incorrectly.
Hm interesting, I’ll note that to test some more. Thanks for pointing it out
Does anyone know how I can create a sidebar menu? I need the option to use a different menu on different pages. Thanks!
Hey johnnyhooks, thanks for purchasing the theme!
If you need different sidebar menus to appear on different pages please check out this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/dynamic-widgets/
It allows you to have control over which pages certain widgets appear on all without coding
We’re trying to also change the size of a background image we placed on the header. You can see it at http://markandphil.staging.wpengine.com/.
We’ve tried editing the init.js file to do this and tried changing in a couple of spots to: $(’#header-outer’).stop(true,true).animate({ ‘padding-top’ : 19, ‘background-position-x’: ‘10%’, ‘background-position-y’: ‘20%’ },{queue:false, duration:450, easing: ‘easeOutExpo’});
but this doesn’t seem to work. Any ideas on how to make this happen? Essentially we want the background image to go up and to the left a little bit so it looks like the line also moves over diagonally from the right.
Thanks!
Despite this issue being slightly beyond the scope of what I should support, I will try and help you guys out later . Please just allow me time to answer other buyers who need support on getting started etc.
We actually got it to work! For others who might want to do the same thing: we ended up adding in the BackgroundPos plugin to jquery. You can get all the necessary info at http://keith-wood.name/backgroundPos.html
Cheers!
ThemeNectar, When do you think the next update will come out?
Sometime this week
Hi. Went ahead and purchased the theme. it’s great. I have a few questions though.
1.How to i remove the ‘View all work’ link on the portfolio? I just want it to say ’ Latest Work’.
2. Also how to i remove the ‘View Larger’ and make the ‘More Details’ central when you hover over a portfolio item? I don’t want it to open a large image…just to go to the project detail page.
3. Is there no Twitter widget? I read an answer earlier where you mentioned shortcodes for this but I can’t see one?
Many Thanks!
Thanks for purchasing the theme!
1. The ability to define that label and others is being added in the next update.
2. Add this into your Custom CSS box in the theme options panel:
.portfolio-items .col .work-item .work-info a.pp { display: none; }
3. There is no Twitter widget included in our shortcodes. I believe what I was saying in the instance your referring to was that you can look through all of our shortcodes in our theme demo page to see what is included.
Hi, Thanks for the quick reply.
1. Ok great. Any news when this update will be?
2. This doesn’t seem to make any difference? The ‘View Large is still there next to the ‘More details’...
3. Ah ok. In that case I will need to add the proper Twitter widget to the sidebar for the blog page etc. Should i add it to the sidebar.php file?
4. You mentioned adding client logos in the columns which i’ve done. I’ve added them in rows of 4. How do i reduce the size of the gap between the rows as it’s quite large at the moment.
Thanks again.
No problem!
1. The update will be out sometime this week.
2. I have doubled checked that the snippet works locally, did you make sure you saved your changes after entering that in? If so, can I please see the link to your page so I can verify that the css is getting applied?
3. You could add it into the sidebar.php file, but why not just use the blog sidebar widget area in the admin panel?
4. If the size of the gap is too large for you, you should choose a smaller column like 1/6’s or simply use larger images of the logos if you want to keep the 1/4’s
Thanks!
1. Great.
2. Ignore me…it’s working.
3. Yup.that would make more sense. Done.
4. It’s not the gap between the columns. It’s the gap between the rows. So I have 4 images using 1/4’s and then another 4 below using 1/4’s and it’s the gap between the two rows of 4 that i just wanted to make smaller so they are a bit more compact. If that makes sense? I can email you a screenshot if not or login details…as I can’t post the URL here.
Hey, sorry for the delayed response!
Sure, send me a PM and we can continue this there
Great theme. I’m loving it and thank you once again for all of your help thus far. Two questions:
1. How do I get rid of that heart on blog posts?
2. Is there a way to show more than three people on the “About Team” portion of the site? I know that it’s a carousel but I was wondering if I could add additional rows
article.post .nectar-love-wrap, .single #single-meta ul li .nectar-love-wrap {
display: none;
}
article.post .post-meta .day {
padding: 0 18px;
border-bottom: 0px;
}
article.post .post-meta .date {
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
2. I if you would like multiple rows of people, just simply don’t use a carousel. You can add as many rows of people as you like this way
Thank you for the quick response, still having issues with both questions
1. The code didn’t remove the heart. I went to Sallient < General Settings scrolled down to the custom css area, entered the code above and there was no effect. Did I do it in the wrong place? I don’t see anything that says “Theme Options” word for word.
2. I took off the carousel (code) and the meet our team section then showed in columns of 2 instead of 3 like before.
1. did you make sure you saved your changes on the Custom CSS? Also, could you please supply me with a link so I can ensure that the css is being applied on the page? (I tested the snippet before I posted it, so I know it should do the trick)
2. When you are using columns, you must check the attribute “Last Column” when you are adding the last column in a row. It’s what finishes the row and allows it to be flush against the edge. If you fail to do this, you will see the row break. Since you already have your columns in place and don’t need to use the shortcode generator, you should just change your third columns shortcode to be
[one_third_last] [/one_third_last]instead of
[one_third] [/one_third]
Regarding your second answer, alright thanks. I will try that. Here is the link to the page I am talking about: http://africaisdonesuffering.com/category/blog
I see that the heart is indeed hidden as expected?
It’s not hidden on my computer. That’s strange. I’ll try to restart my computer and see if that does the trick. Thank you.
One last question, I’ve been trying to rate you guys 5 stars for the longest. Where do I go to do so?
- You could just try clearing your browsers cache or checking it on a different browser
- Go to your downloads section and you should see starts next to the theme you can click
Thanks!
Thank you so much. I absolutely love you guys! Have a good day.
Hello again, Just noticed that portfolio filter doesn’t show items in categories with foreign characters such as swedish ä å ö.
Is there any solution for this?
Thanks, Albin
Abbebabbe,
have you selected the “Include Latin Characters” at the bottom of the Typography Options page?
Yes, it’s checked!
Could I see a link to the site please
Sure, here’s a link to my portfolio! http://www.kometproduktion.se/uppdrag/
Your site is looking awesome! You’ve done a great job of using the theme so far 
I misunderstood what you meant initially. I thought you were saying that the font just wasn’t working with those characters. Now I see what you’re really talking about.
What’s happening is the class being applied to the actual items doesn’t have the extended characters but the filter link does. Thus there is no connection being made between the two. I will add this bug into the queue to be handled in the next update, thanks for pointing this out and sorry for the inconvenience
Thank you! It’s easy to look good with a theme like yours.
Looking forward to the update. Thanks for your help!
Hi, I decided to purchase your theme. Looking forward to start using it. One important question, there’s a little too much padding around the logo for my taste. I’ve tried changing the CSS using a child theme but haven’t quite been able to do it, it looks like it’s some how embedded in the php-code. How do I make the padding around the logo smaller and the height of the header smaller?
Hey olnhausendesign, thank you for purchasing the theme
This is actually something that has been requested by two other buyers and they have posted a workaround in the comments a few pages back. However, since I can see this is still a concern for some, I will add a header padding setting in the next update to the theme!
Cheers!
Great! On another note, the text “view larger and more details” on the portfolio item overlays doesn’t seem to be included in the .po files. How do I translate this text to another language?
That is a mistake and they will be included in the .po file in the upcoming update. Sorry for the inconvenience!
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?
