This theme is stunning – it could not be easier to work with (even our client can handle it and that’s saying something!).
To any potential buyer you will not be disappointed, the front end looks slick and the back end is incredibly intuitive. Even the big gun authors and market leaders could learn from this one
One question it seems like if we assign page heading images to both the contact and portfolio pages they do not show up? Its fine on all other pages SO I am guessing its to do with the page content or are we doing something wrong?
Apologies for posting the question here we could not see a support forum for you. Thanks again for the great theme
charlie4282,
Thank you so much! That’s probably the nicest compliment I’ve ever had on here. Would you mind if I use that as a testimonial?
—
In regards to your question, this is actually mentioned in the user guide, but I can totally see how that might be overlooked. 
When I developed the theme, I excluded the custom page layouts from using the header setting because it would have interfered with the portfolio filters menu and would have required extra code to get it to play nice on the contact page. However, I have since decided to add support for it on both of those pages. You will gain the ability to properly use it in the upcoming update! (Which should be available to download within 24 hours)
Cheers!
Hi, absolutely go ahead and use it as a testimonial. I have been doing this for a while and have seen/worked on literally hundreds if not more themes but was genuinely blown away with the attention to detail and functionality behind this.
Apologies for over looking that bit of the documentation (in my defense didn’t really read it that well because the back end of the theme is too easy to use – so we will split the blame!) Look forward to the update.
Looking forward to more from you guys
One last thing (it may have been mentioned before here), while super clean code makes it quite straight forward to modify the php anyway, as a future updates it would be really cool to be able to modify the CTA message above the footer per/page as opposed to site wide from the admin panel.
OK, so I can’t make a green button with the icon in it in the homepage – I don’t see a shortcode to do that, I can make an icon, but not the circle that is animated… where is animated home page circle in the dropdown for shortcodes? thanks
When selecting the icon shortcode, there is an option to select the size. Choose large and make sure you are placing the icon inside of a column or else you won’t get the cool animation 
Sorry forgot these questions!
1. How can I change the background color to just white? 2. How can I change the text color to black in all of the text? 3. Previous Question-How to set up the Contact Map with Navigation
Thanks so much!
No problem!
This should take care of questions 1 and 2: (enter this in snippet in your Custom CSS box)
body, .home-wrap {
background-color: #fff!important;
color: #000!important;
}
.carousel-wrap span.left-border, .carousel-wrap span.right-border {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
.portfolio-items .work-meta, #sidebar .widget_recent_entries span {
color: #000!important;
}
3. See my response to this question in your other comment
Thank you!! Regarding the first question, I used the converter but its still not working… I found the latitude and longitude of my location, but don’t know what it means by map center for the other blank?
got it! sorry! Thank you!
I gave you guys the option to enter in the center coordinates for the map for more control. (It becomes more evident why you would need this when using multiple locations)
If you just have one location, you’re going to want the map to center on that point, so just use the same latitude and longitude you entered for your location for that too!
Haha, excellent!
Help! Confused on how to set up the contact map!
Hey, thanks for purchasing the theme!
You can configure the map in the theme options panel in the “Contact Options” tab
Found out that part already Just don’t know how to go about finding the correct coordinates for both the “center of the map” and “location”
Thank you!
There is actually a link in the header of the contact options page that reads: “To convert an address into latitude & longitude please use this converter.”
It links here: http://www.latlong.net/convert-address-to-lat-long.html
I need a list of shortcodes that I can use ASAP.
All of the shortcodes are one click away in the shortcode generator. Click the “N” icon in your editor. Also, make sure you’re in visual mode or else you won’t see the button
Following up on my email about logo size on smartphone/tablet. Logo looks good on desktop but it shrinks too small for smartphones/tablet. Any suggestions?
Hey amanavohra,
enter this snippet in your Custom CSS box in the theme options panel:
@media only screen
and (min-width : 1px) and (max-width : 1000px) {
body header#top #logo img {
height: 54px!important;
}
#header-outer {
height: 80px!important;
}
}
Of course change the header height and img height to whatever you desire
thanks for the theme, loved it so much i bought it twice by accident. ha! anyway, any way you can make the logo so that it overlaps the header rather than residing inside of it. i love the way it functions now, but i have a big logo, and when i load it the size i need it, it makes the header waay too big. do you is that something i could edit in the css or is that a template change?
thanks.
Hey rynleigh, thanks for purchasing the theme!
In the upcoming update you will be able to define the padding amount in the header. Right now it defaults at 28px, which is kinda of a lot especially when a larger logo is used. Perhaps once you are able to knock the padding down it will fit nicer for you and won’t need to make any extra modifications
How about you wait to test that out and if you still think it’s too big, I’ll see if I can point you in the right direction for the modification you proposed.
Actually, that is the first thing I am trying to work with. I have been working with variations of the logo to work in a small more horizontal space, but I would still love it if I could keep the bigger logo and have it overlap the header.
should i shoot you the url to take a look at? btw, thanks for the quick reply!
Yeah sure, go ahead
I tried to respond to your email with a solution, but it won’t let me email you at the one you supplied. Is there any other email I can reach you at?
Thanks very much for the quick solution! I really appreciate you going out of your way to help. I will apply the changes right away and let you know what happens.
You’re very welcome
Hi there,
Could you tell me how i can make the top (menu bar) black…
Hope to hear from you soon.
and when can we aspect the update?
Hey phwac,
please see my response to ronjm above for more details on changing the header color.
— The update should be available within 24 hours! I know it’s been pushed back a little, but please understand that the list of changes and additions is VERY long
I’m really keen to buy your theme – but have spotted a bit of a fundamental problem…
When I view the theme in demo mode on my iPhone (portrait view), the site doesn’t re-size down to 1 column as I would expect? It stays in 2 columns which makes it harder to read the content.
The strange thing is, when I view the demo on a desktop computer and drag the browser window so it’s a reduced width, it defaults to 1 column fine.
Can you tell me if you will be fixing this?
Thanks, Mark
mmcg_33,
I just checked again on the iPhone 5 as well as an Android device (Samsung GS2), and everything appears normal as it should. Other customers have pointed out some small bugs that existed on the iPhone 4 but they have been fixed since and were nothing like you’re saying. I don’t really understand why you’re seeing what you are, and you’re the first person to say that. What iPhone are you using?
Sorry, I’ve just realised what happened – when I closed the frame at the top for ThemeForest it worked fine – sorry about that! 
and thanks for such a quick reply!! 
You’re welcome! I’m glad it was just a simple mistake
Cheers!
Hey, I’ve notice the element tab shortcode does not function properly if two or more were assigned in different columns. I tried to play around with the id tag that seemed to fix some of the problems but not all. If 4 tabs were assigned in the first column and 2 were assigned in the second column, the remainder tabs from the first column will appear in the second. let me know if I’m doing something wrong here. Thanks!
Hey neibohood,
that shortcode is not designed to be split up in that manner. When you place a tab shortcode, it can contain columns inside of each tab, but it can not be split up so that different tabs are inside of different columns. By doing that, you’re probably breaking a lot of markup. Can you post a link to the page so I can inspect the html and confirm my theory?
Thanks!
Hey, ThemeNectar, I am the author of Dafang. And a lot of people said that I copied your design. And I really feel awkward to respond them that Dafang is really different from Salient. And the next big thing I should do is to make the apparent differences between Dafang and Salient. And you really did good job of the Salient. And I really appreciate it that you can help me to change the design. Thanks!
Is there an email I can send you my thumbnails
Yeah, just initiate the conversation by sending me a PM from ThemeForest
Hey I have a question I bought the theme and am setting up for my portfolio. Is it possible to have control of what each thumbnail for the portfolio looks like?
Hey Darren, thanks for purchasing the theme!
What exactly are you trying to do with each thumbnail? Could you give me an example
sorry to respond twice, but I was asking Where can I send an screenshot ?
No PSD file? 
Unfortunately, no PSD is included. However, most of the styles are created with CSS3 and all of the images used are easy to edit .png’s
No worries, I just like to use the PSD file as reference when mocking up a design (sometimes). Bought either way
Awesome to hear
Cheers!
Hello, I’m trying to figure out how to link the Large Icons on Home. Someone else on this comment board says they were able to do it, but didn’t post the solution. Can you please tell me how this can be done?
Hey idesign123,
For some reason I don’t see a purchased tag next to your name, have you already bought the theme and can’t figure it out?
The company I’m doing work for (Incitrio) purchased this one. I sometimes buy themes under my own account, but this client wanted to buy it themselves. Should I try to get the Themeforest login info for their account, then repost my question while logged in under their account?
No, it’s completely cool! I was just a little confused as to if it was a prepurchase question etc
What exactly are you having problems with when you wrap the icon in a link?
Hah – you answered my question with your question! For anyone searching the forum, the solution was just [icon size=”large” image=”icon-leaf”] (duh!). I do have one more question though… After adding this link, the hover effect is the default turquoise instead of my custom color. I can try to find the solution via CSS, but do you happen to know what setting I need to override?
Solutions with spaces to fool the forum – [icon size=”large” image=”icon-leaf”]< / a >
nevermind, it doesn’t like my code. just wrap the shortcode in a normal link.
The fix for that problem is actually being released in the next update, which will be available shortly! To patch it yourself for now, add this snippet into your custom CSS box:
.col:hover [class*=" icon-"].icon-3x {
background-color: #000000!important;
}
Of course, change the color to whatever you desire
Perfect – thanks for the great support!
You’re very welcome!
Is there some code I can add to stop the slider from looping?
BTW: This is the most amazing theme. I have purchased a ton over the years and always had a learning curve. Not run into one single pain point. It’s fast, sexy, cutting edge and I’m in love.
Will be buying more of your work!
Hey ninja21,
thanks a lot for your kind words. I really appreciate it!
Unfortunately, that functionality is not built into the slider and would require a good deal of scripting. However, I might go ahead and add this in a future release if it gets requested by others
By the way, would you mind if I use your previous statement as a testimonial?
Hé buddy, can you tell me how I add another slider to a single page? Say, a copy of the Home slider, but for a different page. Can you tell me how or send me in to the right direction? Thanks!
Hey Buerra, thanks for buying the theme!
Right now, in theory you could assign the slider to any page or multiple pages, but it will always query the same images. Unfortunately, to allow certain images to appear on certain pages would require a lot of hacking.
Yes of course man, brilliant theme. Would be cool if you added that in an update though, with the slider etc.
How can I change the background color of the header? It defaults to white but I wish it was gray.
Hey ronjm, thanks for purchasing the theme!
In a future release, other header colors and options will be a built in standard, but for now you’ll have to edit the css. This snippet will change the header color, but you’ll also want to change the font color and search image to make it all flow.
Enter this is your Custom CSS box in the theme options panel
#header-outer {
background-color: #2D3032!important;
}
Thanks … but messing around with the CSS is above my pay grade, particularly since I don’t see a “Theme Options Panel” anywhere. Thanks anyway.
ronjm,
I understand .
However just for your knowledge, the theme options panel can be accessed by simply clicking on the Salient link with the “N” icon in the left-hand menu.
Hi ThemeNectar!
Thank you for your beautiful theme. I promise I combed all the responses and didn’t see an answer to these questions, I’m sorry if you have answered them before.
1. Can you display video and images in the same gallery post? 2. Can you remove the view larger button in your portfolio? 3. Are you able to use a gif in the slider image? 4. Can you click to view an image larger within a post?
Thank you for your help!
Hey Chelsea, thanks for buying the theme . Sorry for the delayed response, I have been hard at work on the upcoming update all night!
1. As of now, the portfolio more details page only supports one type; Single image, Video and Gallery. There is no built in functionality to combine them yet.
2. Yes! This can be done simply by pasting this nto your Custom CSS box in the theme options panel.
.portfolio-items .col .work-item .work-info a.pp {
display: none!important;
}
3. Do you mean for the loading animation or just as an image in the slider?
4. There is no built in functionality for that as of now.
Let me know if you have any more questions!
Hi ThemeNectar,
In reference to “Are you able to use a gif in the slider image,” I mean for the image in the slider.
Thanks!
I have a big problem with homeslider, in 4 different pc i see 4 different size and all are wrongs http://giubadesign2.altervista.org/blog/home-2/
Allenivesix,
the link you have provided leads to a 404. Please supply me with a valid link so I can take a look.
Thanks!
ok, retry the same link
Still goes to a 404, are you not seeing that?
?
The extra black bar at the bottom you see is a glitch from making the slider taller than 650px, it will be addressed in the upcoming update. For now, just please make sure the slider under 650px and use large enough images to fill the space
