Great work on the theme. I am having an issue with the google analytics code appearing on the bottom of our site below the footer. Any ideas what is causing this or how to fix? Thanks.

Hey caseykovich! Thanks for purchasing the theme :)

It sounds like you are not pasting the analytics code with the

<script></script>
tags around it.

Hi,

Great theme but I seem to be having a weird problem. When using the ‘upload’ button for the home slide image nothing happens. In Chrome I see ‘Javascript;Void’ in the statusbar.

I’ve also tried in Safari and Firefox but without luck. What could be going on?

Hey remcobron, thanks for buying the theme!

Please make sure you are using WordPress 3.5 :)

Just upgraded from 1.6 to 3.5…wow this Wordpress thing has really come a long way ;-)

In all seriousness; that did the trick. Thanks for the awesome support!

Haha! You’re very welcome! :D

Another question I forgot:

social sharing buttons for posts – will they be included? please say yes as this is MEGA important as I use custom bit.ly url to use when sharing

Yes, there any plans for social sharing buttons in a future release

How can we make the Carousel shortcode show only one Item at a time? We’ve got our Carousel shortcode in a 1/3 Column and want to only show one Item in it at time.

You can see the issue we’re having at https://www.evernote.com/shard/s2/sh/b6e26edf-5bd7-4efa-95ee-ebe1817eeb52/db6aef330c756eeab7cc6f4e062f6f0f/deep/0/Screenshot%204/9/13%202:29%20PM.jpg

Thanks!

Hey dsgndvlp,

As it states in the Shortcodes section of the user guide: “Columns can display anything you put into them, this includes all other shortcodes except the carousel. The carousel shortcode must be on its own and not in a column!”.

The carousel was not built to be displayed in anything else other than on its own row. What you’re trying to do would require more hackery :)

HOw do i remove the date and the heart on this page ?

Please see my answer to your post above.

Hello thanks for this awesome theme !

1.I need help because i would like use other icons in home page. I would like choose other but i dont know where are their ? In the demo, when we goes to features / elements we can see image with choice of size of icons. But when i am in wordpress administration i cant see that ? And i cant see that in folder again ?

2. Where are the shortcode for this theme ? And how can i use it ?

Thanks for you answer.

The shortcodes are located directly in the wordpress editor on all pages and posts, and can be used by clicking the yellow “N” button. If you don’t see the button, make sure you’re in visual and not text mode :)

Hi, i got a question. I’ve just got the weirdest error. I was changing the footer in the theme footer options and saved, suddenly the whole theme was wiped or smth. http://www.brand-zero.com/

Any idea’s how to fix this?

Edit: Strange enough the error is gone again. :)

Thanks

Haha, yeah as soon as I looked before the problem was already gone :p

Nice theme, but before purchase.

1- How do you get the (*) symbol to be green on your theme’s contact form? 2- retina version soon? i saw on my phone and a web simulater some icons and designs are not sharp 3- how to change it so category search (or any search) doesn’t show post and post author? – just like ur site 4- any bbPress or WooCommerce in the works? 5- Does the theme have a site map/breadcrumb?

Thanks

hello :)

answer 1 – what is an around them? answer3 – i mean on ur preview of a random post it just gives the post title but i checked another persons and theirs had the post title then “-NAME” dash-name. i can’t find that website, its one form the comments here

1.

<span> </span>
2. If you can not provide an example I am afraid I can not give the reason why.

ok. look. Yoast WordPress SEO conflicts with your theme a little. when the plugin is active each post is given a “-NAME” addition. The NAME is linked to the site title. SEO is important for any site. not using it is problematic.

When the site name is removed from Setting/Reading, only the ”-” remains. I have checked the plugin and can’t understand why it does this. You may have behind the scene info about the theme which may shed light in stopping this form occurring.

I was told that removing the %sitename % from Yoast SEO settings removes “NAMES” after post titles, but not ”-’

I’m trying to set a portait image as a portfolio post feature image. Because of the aspect ratio the crop on the front page/ recent work is centered i.e the person in the image is missing the top of their head. Any suggestions?

Hey olouali, thanks for buying the theme!

WordPress automatically crops from the center with custom image sizes. There might be a plugin that allows you to change this to a top alignment, but other than that you could configure your own image sizes that better suit your work. Or even disable the hard crop mode for the portfolio by editing line 152 of functions.php

add_image_size( 'portfolio-thumb', 600, 403, true ); 

A couple Questions, when inserting a carousel how do I get images in the “insert content here” part of the shortcode, is it a url link to an image? Thanks for your awesome support and the killer theme!

Also how did you change the default Recent Posts/ View All Posts to Recent Work/ View All Work I can’t seem to make Recent Posts/ View All Posts go away (I would rather not have text there at all)

Thanks EspionageStudio!

1. You can just click the “Add Media” button when your cursor is inside of the carousel item shortcode :)

2. The ability to edit those labels from the options panel is being added in the upcoming update v1.2!

I am getting this error at the bottom of every admin page: Warning: file_put_contents(/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/xxx.com/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/salient/css/colors.css) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/xxx.com/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/salient/functions.php on line 998

Hey wibbler, thanks for purchasing the theme!

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 those files 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!

Yep, that’s fixed it! Thanks.

No problem! :D

Still loving this theme. Its working out great for our site. Thank you.

we’ve encountered some issues in ie8 running on windows xp. The icon css is not right, there is a black box in the homepage header and there are black lines below the header images on other pages.

We’ve encountered the same issues on a 2nd machine running xp and ie8. We haven’t been able to test ie8 on window 7 or 8 though.

Let me know if you want the link to our site.

Hey trevoreddy, I’m happy to hear you’re still loving it!

-What is the problem with the icon css? Sure, a link would be helpful :)

- Any problem relating to your header images not filling up all the space (black bars showing) is because old versions of IE don’t support the CSS property background-size: cover. The only thing you could do to remedy this would be to upload larger images.

Page Header Title, how can i change text color?

-I simply used the text widget for the about section and the recent work widget that is included with salient.

-Yes there is a 404 page. You can see it by typing in any incorrect url segment to your website, or view it here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/showmethe404 There is no included sitemap page yet though.

Thanks. I see what you mean.

No problem. :)

can u tell me how to get the slider on the home page

Please see my response to your question below.

Any update on having a second portfolio?

Hello, i have a problem with a shortcodes. If i insert a column shortcodes for the first column it’s ok. But if i insert another column or other shortcodes after, the first column is all shifted.

Thank you for your help.

Example of my code : [two_thirds] My text on 2/3 [/two_thirds] [one_third] Another text on 1/3 [/one_third] If i add another code, all is shifted : for example [two_thirds] My text on 2/3 [/two_thirds] [one_third] Another text on 1/3 [/one_third][divider]

Flash_fre, thanks for buying the theme!

Every time you are dealing with columns it is imperative that you check the “Last Column” check box for the last column in every row. A row ends every time your columns add up to a whole. If you fail to do this, your columns will not function correctly.

The correct shortcodes for your example should be:

[two_thirds] My text on 2/3 /two_thirds Another text on 1/3 [/one_third_last]

Please excuse my example above, the comment messed up the shortcodes. It should read:

[two_thirds] My text on 2/3 [/two_thirds] [one_third_last] Another text on 1/3 [/one_third_last] 

Hello. I love the theme and it’s easy to use except for one thing: Could you please tell me how to get images to scale correctly in the slider? This is what I’m working on. The image is 2000px wide like those in the demo, but it doesn’t reduce it to fit. Could you please shed some light? It’s driving me crazy!

Hey therealslimadie, thank you for purchasing the theme :)

Your website’s slider is acting exactly like it should. If you examine the slider on the demo again, you will notice the behavior is the same. i.e. The image displays at the size you upload it until the viewer is on a screen smaller than 1050px, then it loses the parallax effect and resizes to fit.

The reason the image can’t be set to resize while the parallax effect is on is because of cross browser compatibility issues. I would suggest still uploading images that are large, like the one you have, but ensure that it also looks good on smaller screens like around the 1400px range.

Let me know if this clears things up for you :)

I am using custom sidebars with custom menu widget to create sidebar menus. I want to style the sidebar though to separate it from the main content area and change fonts, rollover, etc. I am not proficient in CSS or PHP but get the “idea.” Would I add mark-up to sidebar.php or page-sidebar.php?

Hey Johnny,

If you want to make the sidebar stand out through its appearance, that is a CSS only job. I would recommend you enter the CSS into the theme options panel in the Custom CSS box so you don’t lose it when you update to the next version.

For some reason the sidebar is not editable – i edit #sidebar but it only affects the custom menu widget items. Is a sidebar menu in the works? I would love to edit the entire sidebar if possible but I do not know how i would do it other than using the custom sidebar plugin in combination with the custom menu widget

Could you show me what you mean when you say the sidebar isn’t editable?

Hello!

Is there anyway I can implement a “revolution slider” instead of the slider that is included? Also would that have the parallax effect if i did put it in there?

Cheers!

Thanks a lot for the complement :)

It would require you to essentially delete my sliders code from the home template and insert the function that displays the revolution slider.

That’s alright! :) Know of any guides on how to do that? Or is it fairly self explanatory? Appreciate your support

There are many articles out there for setting up revolution slider from scratch. A quick Google search turned up: http://www.ait-themes.com/doc/how-to-use-revolution-slider/

You would just need to open up the home template file you’re using and delete the

 <div id="featured" /> 
and everything inside it. This will remove the built in slider. Then all that’s left to do is drop a revolution slider function call in its place:)

can you help me make the slider work? in fact any tutorials on how to set up the site so it works just like the demo? I am totally lost – I really need your help.

http://pascallearning.com/
Paste this snippet into your Custom CSS box in the theme options panel:
#project-meta { 
   display: none!important;
}
:)
awesome! now how do i get rid of the hearts on this page http://pascallearning.com/portfolio-2/
