Hey I reached out via email. I was wondering how to remove the header slider image off the homepage?

Hey Darren!

Please direct all future questions to the support forum :)
#featured {
   display: none;
}

Thanks!

Two questions.
1. How do I edit my child theme fonts.css/custom.css properly? (I want to use my typekit fonts).
2. My portfolio is only filtering 2 portfolio categories. How do I fix so all work accordingly?

Hey ReideIredale, thanks for purchasing!

I will be happy to assist you with this, but I ask that you please post questions like these on the support forum so that they can be properly indexed for others to see :)

Thanks!

How do we get the feature image in a post not to show up in the post along with the post image?

Hey vas907, thanks for buying the theme!

I’m not quite sure what you mean, but perhaps if you could supply me a link or explain it a little further I will be able to help you get it sorted. Also, please post this on the support forum :).

Ok just posted on the support forum thanks for the quick reply!

Why am I getting these at the bottom of the Theme Options?

Hey jdtaber, thanks for purchasing the theme!

It looks like you’re getting a simple 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 :)

If you have any more questions, please post them in the support forum so that they can indexed for all to see.

Cheers!

So I should change the permissions on the following files – colors.css, fonts.css, and custom.css?

hey, may be a stupid question, but how exactly do i update? haha…... i’ve checked in wordpress but it tells me the theme is up to date (i’m on 1.1), despite the fact there’s 1.2 out.

Hey weens!

You just have to redownload the theme from ThemeForest, delete the old one (as long as you haven’t modified files) and upload the new :)

Hey man,

Nearly there with my site, but just wanted to check something and I know this is something you’ve addressed before so apologies for returning to it.

With the home slider no matter what size I choose, I’m losing a large portion of the top of the image, I currently have a 100 px difference between the smaller size of the slider and larger of my images, but anything smaller than that is leaving the gap at the bottom. There’s no way of aligning the vertical of the images to bottom or centre of the slider is there?

Cheers

Jonny

Hey Jonny,

The parallax positioning was always a little off due the nature of the fixed position being relative to the window and nothing else. However, I have been working on rewriting the script to take into consideration the header height and logo height. In the next update your images will get pushed down in relation to those and be much more consistent :)

Cheers!

You’re a gent! Cheers boss!

Hello! I have a problem with the pictures viewing on mobile – the images with captions do not get resized – instead it only shows a portion of the images.

I’ve tried this out on both the iPhone and iPad mini – the images without captions do get resized, just not those with captions. Anyway to work around this? Thanks! : )

sample url: http://evonnz.com (access with mobile!)

Hey evonnz!

Yes this is indeed a bug, and it will be fixed in the next update (coming very soon).

Hi! Great Theme! I love it!

i also have a few things i beleve would make the teme even better:

- Home Slider on any page; also an option to turn the < > arrows off

- is there a way to put some content below portfolio item images, not just in the sidebar? i have a lot of text and it looks strange; also a way do add video as a part of the slideshow (so it’s mixed – images and video)

- there’s still prolems with latin slavic characters š?ž?? do not display well

you can see the teme here :) http://www.dominante.co.rs/new/

Thank’s Luka! :)

Good to hear!

I will note that as a possible change for a future release :)

Cheers!

You’re welcome!

A pre-sale question please – does the theme support retina images? Thanks for your help.

Hey velocity_uk :)

There are some icons used in the theme which are not retina optimized. A later release might change this though..

Thanks for your reply ThemeNectar – are all the images in galleries, portfolio and sliders retina supported? Thanks again.

You could essentially upload images 2x the size and they will still get resized to fit regular screens but appear crisp on retina devices.

Hi
Great theme! Exactly what I was waiting for :).
Few questions:
  • On a project thumbnail, is it possible to disable and not show the “view larger” button?
  • Can I use YouTube video or Vimeo with this template?
  • Is there a custom CSS section where I can modify the theme without affecting the original theme? (in terms of future theme updating).
Thanks!

Hey inyash!

  • Yes
  • Yes
  • And yes!
I love being able to say that ;)

Couldn’t ask for more than this. :)
Thank you Nectar.

Hi, great update! One small detail: on mobile the main menu is displayed as a drop down which is great. The submenus are then dropped down from a second level – next to the main items there is a small downward arrow which changes color on selection. This small arrow seems to be the standard green and doesnt seem to be effected by the custom accent color choice. Just wanted to make you aware! It can probably be fixed easily with CSS.

Aha perfect! So in the future whenever the theme is updated I can let the css files in the child theme remain but update the php-files? Thanks for the help!

Yes, just update the .php files in the CSS folder in your child theme when there is an update. Also if you are done replacing those files now with the new ones, remember to hit save in your options panel to generate the new colors.css

A quick similar questions: Is it possible to retain the font-files in a child theme to avoid them being overwriten with an update? I can’t seem to get it to work with the fonts folder.

Hey ThemeNectar, Loving the theme so far, very intuitive and easy to use. I have three questions. Can you make the map section height bigger, so when you go to a page the map takes up the full screen? Can you add more than ten markers to the map? I think that would be a great feature Finally, can you have just 3 widgets in the footer instead of 4?

I appreciate any help, Geoff

djethro, thanks for purchasing Salient! I’m glad to hear you love it :)

If you have any future questions, I ask you to please post them on the support forum. That way they will be indexed for other buyers to search.

1. Enter this snippet into your custom CSS box in the theme options panel:
#contact-map { height: 600px!important; }

2. It is possible I will add the ability to have more in a future release.

3. If you just want three widgets, a quickfix would be to put a text widget in the column you don’t want and just have no content inside it.

Excellent, thank you

You’re welcome!

hi, thanx, i fixed that home slider problem. but i got another question: how can my logo became a home button? i like to click on my logo an be transfered to the start page.

thanks for help.

Hey stefan1971!

The logo is actually automatically wrapped in a link that leads to your home page. Unless you have modified the files, I don’t see how yours wouldn’t already be like that.

it is possible to get two portfolio pages with different stuff?

Hey levelonedesign!

The ability to assign a category to the portfolio template is a possible future feature :)

Pre Purchase question about the home page: Can there be a static image in the slider with no rotation? Do the slider buttons not show if only one is listed?

Hey niftymarketing!

Yes. If only one image is uploaded to the slider, it will remain there with no issues and the arrows will automatically be hidden. :)

Cheers!

I’m buying ;-)

I’d like to purchase this theme, however is there a way to disable the header from zooming in and out when the user scrolls up?

hey jdtaber!

Yes, that can be disabled with one click in the options panel :)

Thanks for the quick reply!

Hello ThemeNectar,

So try as I might, I can’t seem to figure out how to align the text to the right on the home slider. I am not trying to just do text-align right but take all the text and text background and move it over to the right side of the image.

I am guessing it has to do with the #featured .orbit-slide article .container .span_12 { on line 1119 of style.css but I can figure out what.

Thanks!

Hey Dimitri, thanks for purchasing the theme!

I can help you out with this now, but would you mind asking this via the support forum ? That way it will be properly indexed for other buyers to see in the future.

Thank you :)

Sure, I’ll just copy pasta it over

Hello,

Is it possible to translate the theme? it’s actually not working for me…

Thx

Hey fox!

The theme includes the necessary .po and .mo files. You just have to enter your translations in using something like Poedit and then define your language inside of wp-config.php

Have you done this to no avail?

I just open a post on your support forum…

  • Do someone have already translate the theme?

thx

I don’t know if it’s just me, but since the update I’ve been having issues with shortcodes. Namely, when I select the desired shortcode from the drop down menu, it no longer provides shortcode options as it did previously.

It also does nothing if you just press Insert Shortcode, any advice? Is there anywhere I can view a list of shortcodes?

Thanks, Matt

Have you tried clearing your browser cache and are you certain you upgraded correctly? If you can say yes to both of those, please PM me right away so that I can take a look :)

Thanks!

Well, I deleted the old theme, and reuploaded the new one. If that’s not correct that please enlighten me. I’ll clear cache now.

That is indeed the correct way to upgrade. Let me know if it was just a caching issue :)

Hello – i have a pre purchase question – Is it possible to have a team page with more than one row with three members using carousel ? i would like to display multiple rows of team members on one page , without the carousel ..

can i do this? thanks Yves

Hey 7ftsoundsystem,

Yes. The demo uses the team members in conjunction with the carousel just as an example. They are in fact two separate shortcodes and you could easily do what you’re looking for.

If you decide to purchase and run into any problems, just let me know via the support forum and I’ll help you out :)

Cheers!
