Hi, any chance of adding pagination to the portfolio? That is the only thing stopping me from buying the theme.

Hey baker987!

Possibly in a future update. I’ve just ran into issues in the past with creating a good solution to paginating custom post types when custom permalinks are involved.

Hi – interested in purchasing theme. Is the theme able to show recent posts on the home page rather than “recent work”??

Need nice presentation of 4 most recents posts with image rather than portfolio.

Thanks.

Hey ESPLLC!

The theme does include a home template to display recent posts, here’s what it looks like:

Hi there,

Trying to get sidebar for blogs. But nothing shows up. I have 4 widgets in page sidebar. Its setup correctly from settings->reading. Also tried with sidebar template on blog page.

There is a widget area called “Blog Sidebar”, that is the correct area to add your widgets to get them to display on the blog :)

Thanks ThemeNectar :)

You’re welcome :)

Hi! Very very interested in this theme for my site – only a couple of questions:

1. Is it possible for the portfolio thumbnail to display only the details button, centered on the thumbnail instead of both buttons?

2. Is it possible to style the search area, including the “X” button?

3. Would you be able to assist with those 2 things? (Okay, I lied, three questions.)

1. Yes that is an easy fix, just one line of code. It has actually been requested before and you could probably find it lying around here on a previous page.

2. Yes, anything’s possible if you know CSS.

3. well we’re 50% of the way there already since the answer to item number one is already posted here ;)..as for assisting you with item number 2, it really depends on how much you’re looking to modify it.

Thanks for the quick reply! Re: #2, I really just want to modify the font and perhaps substitute the X for a png.

No problem!

The X already is a .png so you could easily swamp that, and you could change the font styles of the search bar with CSS.

Hi,

I have a couple of problems. I have build my website on another domain and than exported it to the current one. The problem I have now is that I can’t change the color in the Salient menu. I have tried changing permissions to the css (both style.css and the css folder) to 755, but nothing. The salient menu says I have selected a color, but my website still shows the standard one (the lightgreen / blue).

Also, the sort portfolio is acting strange. When I click on a sort button all my items disappear.

And my final question: a couple of days ago I asked you how to change the header color of the custom headers (with background image). You supplied a string of code to insert into the custom css-box inside the salient menu. But, unfortunately, it still isn’t working. Perhaps the code was wrong?

Please look at www.yagoproducties.nl for reference.

Thanks!

Hey, could you shoot me a PM so I can assist you outside of the comments? Thanks :)

I have, thanks. In the meantime, is there a quick fix for the color? My site has gone live and it looks really weird in the wrong color..

Hello, I have an ad widget which kills the entire theme. I’m not sure what is happening, because the ad banner by google adsense is working fine, just not this particular snippet of code from the blog ad company I’m tied to. Is there a way I can email you the ad code to take a look at to see if there’s anything I can do to make both work together? Thank you so much!

Please see my response to your email :)

thank you, TN! Have emailed you back.

Hi there,

For some reason the ” Sort Portfolio” in the portfolio page is not working as it should. For example, if I click in ‘ALL”, all projects appear. If I click in “PRINT”, no projects appear, which is very strange since I have assigned 3 projects in the PRINT category. What can I do to resolve this?

Okay,

there is still a lingering bug that is stopping your items from working because it appears none of your slugs match the category name correctly.

i.e. your branding category slug is “branding” when it should be just “branding”. If you want, I can help you change them all to get you up and running while you wait for the patch the be released :)

That will be very cool!

Send a PM over my way and we can get started :)

Do you have a list style anywhere? How can I create the small bullets/icons such as you have in the portfolio gallery side bar? (http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-portfolio-blog-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266)

Hey fusioncreative, thanks for purchasing the theme!

As of now, that style is specific for the portfolio. However I might just go a head and allow you guys to use that wherever in the next update :)

Thanks for the quick reply! I DO want to use it for a portfolio section, if that’s what you mean? :D So far the theme has been a breeze to work with.

No problem :D

If you are trying to use them in the portfolio section, that’s a different story!

Please read section 5.2 “Project Attributes” in the user guide included with your purchase. That should get you up and running with them :)

Hi there, could you make a download file with all the files including:

all the pages / menu items  you can see in the demo?

This would really help me out!

Phwac.

Hey phwac, thanks for buying the theme!

There is an .xml file included with your purchase that contains all of the dummy data you see in the live demo.

To import it go to Tools > Import in your WordPress admin panel and browse for the file :)

On a completely unrelated note, ThemeNectar, I love your logo!

Hello !

I downloaded the first version of this theme, and I would like to know how to update your last corrections ?

thanks.

Hey ju150, thanks for buying the theme!

You can acquire the latest version by downloading the theme from your downloads tab :)

To update, deactivate the current version you have of Salient and delete it from your server (unless you have made modifications to the theme files). Then simply upload the new one and you should be good to go!

I like how the menu stays on the top in the browser, but then when it is resized to smaller sizes, it scrolls with the rest of the content. Is there a way to have the menu always on the top? like the spartan theme http://themeforest.net/item/spartan-a-fullyfeatured-theme-for-mobiletablets/3931586?WT.ac=search_thumb&WT.seg_1=search_thumb&WT.z_author=BonfireThemes

Hey griffinyouthman!

Yes there is an option in the theme options panel to disable the header resize on scroll :)

Where do I set the point where the theme jumps to the mobile version? This is currently at 1050px. I want customize this point like to 1000px. Problem on the iPad (1024×768 Resolution), with 1050px we see always the Mobile version.

To illustrate the problem, here a little screencast: http://www.einkaiser.ch/downloads/Mobile_jump.mov

Thanks for your nice Theme and your Help.

Thanks for taking the time to post that video!

I will take measures to fix this by default in the upcoming update so you don’t have to scurry through all the responsive styles :)

Nice theme! Any chance of adding pricing tables?

Thanks Mark!

Pricing tables are indeed going to be included with the upcoming update that will be available shortly :D

Good news, thank you!

You’re welcome :)

Is it possible to rearrange the order of portfolio/recent work items. I’d like to chose which are displayed on homepage?

Thanks, you are doing an amazing job keeping up with everybody’s questions.

Thanks ianmck111, I really am trying my best to keep up while still devoting the necessary time to developing :)

Changing the order of your portfolio items works the same as posts, i.e. they are ordered by the date they were published. To change the order, simply change the date on the project.

Hey sweet theme I have found it great to use I was just wondering is there a way to ensure the header doesn’t shrink when you scroll? Thanks!

Thanks!

Yes, it only takes one click to disable that feature in the theme options panel :)

Hello, excellent theme, and thanks for the support information you have posted here it’s been a real help. I have used your #project-meta { display: none!important; }<code> snippet for removing the date and hearts from the project pages, Im wondering if there is a snippet for removing the hearts and dates on the "home page recent work" and the "portfolio page" Thanks in advance.</code>

Thanks for the reply its much appreciated, the snippet worked great and removed all the hearts. I can’t seem to find the theme option command to remove the dates, could you give me a little more information on how to do this please. Regards.

Hi, I found the problem I was using an older version of the theme (29 March) I have update to the current version and managed to removed the dates. The improvements to the theme are excellent, I look forward to the future updates keep up the great work. 5 stars.

Excellent! :D

I’m not sure if this has been mentioned but when adding large icons, it sometimes goes green on hover (the same green as your demo) instead of the new theme colour.

Also, do you have a scroll back to top update by any chance? longer pages and posts would benefit a lot!

rafedwards, thanks for buying the theme!

1. Yes, the reason sometimes the large icons do not function correctly is when they get wrapped in extra tags inside the editor. If you are experiencing any malfunctions with them, switch to the text view in your editor and make sure there’s no extra html tags around the icon that shouldn’t be there. Also, I am planning on addressing this thoroughly in the upcoming update, so you could just wait another day to get the fix ;)

2. This option will also be included in the upcoming update :D

Cheers!

I am having some issues with my menu bar. It is not visible in Chrome. Please take a look for me and advise. http://bit.ly/RelentlessPreview

Hey MediaPlayground, thanks for buying the theme, you’re site is looking great!

I checked your site in chrome on my desktop & laptop running windows 7 and 8 respectively, and don’t see anything wrong. Are you sure your browser/server wasn’t just acting up at the time?

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.
