I know you can change element icon colors but Can the Themes entire color be changed? like if one were to want all Black rather than white? Will there ever be a centered or full slider video for home? It looks like a great theme and i am very tempted to buy it, but i feel like i may need more customizability.
Hey jcalafato!
1. No, there is no dark skin included. That would require you to create one yourself.
2. It’s a possibility in a future update 
This is the first theme I bought and the service response is unbelievable! Do not hesitate to buy this theme.
Thanks a lot for the compliment, odorcide! I’m always giving it my all
I just wanted to post here to say how tremendously impressed I am with this template. The layout is completely gorgeous and navigable. It’s simplistic with just the right amount of complexity, and it’s customizable to the extent that hardly will any two of these sites look the same. The layout and functionality themselves are flexible enough that the site can effectively be used for audio, video, photography, design, and more, all or one, which is perfect for someone like me who dabbles in multiple disciplines.
Praise must be sung also for the outstanding customer service. I am new to WordPress and coding, so upon encountering some basic issues, I posted in the help forum for this theme. ThemeNectar responding within minutes, and my problem was solved within 10. They even offered to log in to my account for me to check that everything was okay, which I allowed them to, and they fixed it seamlessly.
I could go on, but the point is made. Don’t hesitate to buy this template, it’s totally worth it.
Thanks AsherKaye! I’m very happy you’ve had a great experience with the theme!
Cheers mate
Just purchased the theme! Trying to troubleshoot two things (and don’t know where to find my license code to submit a ticket, for some reason it’s not showing up next to the theme in my list of downloads):
1) Global accent color isn’t working. I’ve changed this color several times, and default color still shows up everywhere.
2) Header logo shrinks very, very, very small when I use mobile device, and when I shrink window on my desktop. Tried using following code in the custom CSS but it didn’t work:@media only screen and (min-width : 1px) and (max-width : 1000px) {
body header#top #logo img {
height: 100px!important;
}
#header-outer {
height: 120px!important;
}
}
Hey chrislatondresse!
When the accent color doesn’t work that usually means that all of the dynamic styles are not working. Which is why your custom CSS isn’t working either, my bet is that it’s not getting applied at all. The colors, typography, custom css and responsive stylesheets are all dynamic and require their permissions to be set at 755. Some servers automatically change these files to stop them from being executed and it causes internal servers errors.
You can still write on the forum, just put anything in for your license number. All it will do is let me know you’re not a verified buyer, which I know isn’t the case . Open a private ticket with your URL and I’ll walk you through getting it set up!
Thanks. I figured it out! C
Great to hear C! 
It is possible to have the share icons (facebook, twitter…) in the Pages? Now I can see them in the blog posts and in the portfolio items, but no in the pages.
And is there any way to order the portfolio items? Right now they just show up in the way I post them. I would like to reorder them in my own way.
Hey,
1. That would require you to paste the social sharing code into the page.php file
2. You can use this plugin to visually re order any post type you have, including the portfolio: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-types-order/
Is there a way to turn off the Liking (the “Heart”) feature in the Portfolio? I was able to deactivate the Social Media Buttons.
Thanks, Doug
Hey dcress!
Enter this snippet into your Custom CSS box in the salient options panel:
.nectar-love {
display: none!important;
}
Worked – thanks!
Cheers
Is there a way to make the Buttons on the Homepage Carousel a solid color by default (versus transparent)?
#featured article .post-title a {
background-color: red!important;
}
Change the color to whatever you desire.
Is it possible to use the default Accent Color.
Yes, just paste the same hex code into the color..e.g.
#featured article .post-title a {
background-color: #27ccc0!important;
}

Hi again!
1) Is it possible to remove the padding in the area where the social media buttons used to be (see the top right, here: http://bit.ly/YHLnSf).
2) Is it possible to remove the ‘View Larger’ button but keep the ‘More Details’ button on the portfolio homepage (see the homepage, buttom, here: http://bit.ly/YHLzAY).
Thanks so much for your assistance.
Doug
Hey dcress
#sidebar #project-meta {
display: none!important;
}
2. And this:
.portfolio-items .col .work-item .work-info a.pp {
display: none!important;
}
Thanks! You’re amazing.
You’re welcome
This should be it…
Can you provide the code to change the Font to #000 by default (versus the grey)
This should do the trick
body, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, header#top nav ul li a {
color: #000!important;
}
Hi – got one more request – can I remove the ‘Sort Portfolio’ button (Top Right)?
http://platonicideal.com/holdings
#portfolio-filters {
display: none!important;
}
You are unbelievable. Six stars.
Thanks a lot, dcress! I’m glad I’ve been such a help to you
Hi – I’ve purchased another instance of your theme for a new client
1) On the Portfolio Item Page, could you help me remove the Featured/Thumbnail Image:
Please see this page: http://nopretensions.org/products/silverseal/
2) In the most recent version, I believe there is a bug where Javascript /IFrame Embeds get truncated.
Please see this page: http://nopretensions.org/about-us/corporate-presentation/
The correct length should be 700 Pixels.
In the prior version, I did not encounter this issue.
Thanks, Doug
Hey Doug!
1. Open up single-portfolio.php and located this section:
//Regular Featured Img
else {
if (has_post_thumbnail()) { echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'full', array('title' => '')); } else {
echo '<img src="'.get_template_directory_uri().'/img/no-portfolio-item.jpg" alt="no image added yet." />';
}
}
Just delete it entirely.
2. Yes, in the most recent version iframes automatically get wrapped and sized as if they were videos. However, it has been noted this is not ideal and I have already fixed that to only target iframes from video sites such as youtube/vimeo etc. If you can’t wait for me to release that version email me and I’ll send you a copy now
That’s be great – whats your email of choice?
Hi ThemeNectar – do you have any code snippets that I could drop into the Custom CSS section that accomplished the change single-portfolio described above.
This will help me more easily make updates.
Thanks so much! Doug
Hey Doug! There isn’t at this point but in the next update I’m adding an option to hide/show the featured image on the single page so that should take care of that
Hi, I wonder if you can tell me how to get my home page banner image to always fill the space like in your preview. I have added an image the same size 2000×673 but when I pull the browser out wide you can see the image edges unlike yours. Also please advise how I can change the padding on the left ranged slider text so it clears the scroll button.
Many thanks
Hey loleary2000!
If you have updated to the most recent version, you now have an option to enable image resizing in your home options
Oh brilliant! how do I update?
By downloading a fresh copy from ThemeForest, deleting the current version you have on your server (as long as you haven’t modified any files) and uploading the new
Thank you. Just another question. Is it possible to header sliders to other pages? thanks, Liam
Liam,
could you elaborate a little more on that last question, I’m not sure that I understand what you want to do
Thanks!
Sorry about that, I should read my messages before posting… I would like to add an image slider to the my about page either in the header or in the body. is that possible? Also how do I adjust the padding in the text on the homepage slider? Currently the text lays under the previous button. Thank you, Liam
Haha, no problem!
1. Currently you can’t have the parallax slider on more than one page. If you wanted to not use it on your home page and place it in your about page instead, than that’s doable. But you can’t have one of the home page and a separate one on your about page.
2. Would you mind opening a ticket on the support forum with this question because I would love to also have your URL to see what’s going on.
Thanks
Thank you. I would but I’m not getting a license agreement link next to the download so have not idea what my purchase code is. Can I find it any where else? Thanks, Liam
Yeah, ThemeForest has updated the UI for that section and Ticksy hasn’t updated their documentation yet so the directions are invalid. You’re free to put anything you want into the purchase code box, all it will do it let me know that you’re not a verified buyer, which I know is not the case
Hey! thanks for all your help so far! The theme is really coming together! Quick question, is there a way to increase the size of the paragraph type?
You’re welcome Rhyno!
Yes, just activate the “Use Custom Fonts” in your Typography options, change the body font size and select Open Sans – Normal as the font
OK cool! Thanks! And if I want to only show a preview of a post on my blog page, how would I do that?
The post excerpt and read more button are both created by inserting a
<!--more-->
tag into the post at your desired location. There is actually a button on the editor that you can click to insert this. Here’s a screenshot: http://oi48.tinypic.com/2ykl45y.jpg
Cheers
You are awesome!
Why, thank you!
Do you guys offer paid for customizations?
Hey ali4104!
I wish I had time to, but unfortunately I have 0 free time just keeping up with development/support.
Hello, I was wondering if your theme has an option to embed video with regular HTML/Embed code (object tag).
Thanks, Martin
Hey Martin!
Yes, regular embeds are supported as well
Thank you. One more question. How or where is the content of the slider on the homepage entered. Is it it’s own menu item? Could you maybe provide a screenshot of that section in the backend so I can see how easy or not so easy it will be for somebody not so skilled to do that?
Thanks a lot!
Sure thing mfuchs! It’s very user friendly, I built the interface keeping that as a top priority:
http://i.imgur.com/4shINQO.png
Cheers mate
Nice, thanks a lot! Three more questions. 1) Is it possible to instead of showing 3 items in the recent works section on the homepage for example show 6 or 9 or more? And 2) Would it be possible to show more than 3 team members on the team page without the slider? and 3) Looking at the Portfolio page (http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio/) I would like the sorting feature to instead of having the portfolio items from different categories dynamically sort, pull up an individual category page instead. That way when I click on a certain portfolio item and then go back I still see the items of that category and don’t have to sort again.
And one last question in addition to the three above, then I am ready to purchase the theme. When you scroll down the header and the logo gets smaller. Can that easily be prevented? Looking forward to hear from you, thanks.
mfuchs,
1. Right now the recent work carousel must be set to show 3 columns at a time, but the number of how many items goes in the carousel can be easily changed from the current 6.
2. Yes, you don’t have to drop the team member shortcodes inside of a carousel, you can simply lay them out row by row stacked up with as many as you please.
3. I have a guide on the support forum for creating individual pages that display specific categories.
4. Yes, there is a an option in the salient options panel to toggle this effect in one click
Hi,
Would it be posible for me to change the video in the homeslide to just an image?
Hey jannickv, thanks for purchasing the theme!
Unfortunately, as of right now that’s not supported and would require some development.
i found out a way to do it… not the best but i’m able to just put this in my video embed code…
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="...." /></div>
Haha, there’s a dirty way for everything
hi, something is wrong with scrollbar area on google chrome. take a look. http://oi43.tinypic.com/300e8gp.jpg
Hey porwal,
Don’t see that in chrome, try clearing your cache. If it persists, let me know the version and OS you’re using
Thanks!
Hi, I’ve purchased the theme, and it’s great.
I’m using qTranslate with the slides, but the filters for text are not responding (i.e. [:fr] or the <!-:fr-> tags.
It’d be nice to know where the caption is rendered. Thanks in advanced.
Hey ccaroli! The captions are rendered in each of the home page templates which can be found as template-home-x.php where x is 1-4. Look for
<h2 data-has-caption="<?php echo (!empty($caption)) ? '1' : '0'; ?>"><span>
<?php echo $caption; ?>
</span></h2>
and place your <!r> there
Hello, I’ve purchased your theme and I love it!
I have a question though, I’d like to use the portfolio in an unconventional way: I want it to be a sort of archive of selected blog posts, so it should be customized to link to external elements instead of portfolio items.
Is this an easy mod? Could you help me realizing it, or adding a “link to an external item” feature to your theme?
Thank you!
Hey rimi2305, thanks for purchasing the theme!
That would take some additional development..I don’t think there’s any way around the fact that it would require you to have an additional metabox to input your external link. Because of this, I think you should seek a WP guy to create this functionality for you. Should only take 1 hour of time, so it would be a cheap mod.
ah, what a pity… I’m pretty sure that this feature would be interesting for a lot of creative professionals. it would allow to link to external sources like behance, or dribbble. How much do you think it would cost?”
Who could I ask for it?”
Well, since it should only take someone who knows what they’re doing 1 hour or less..whatever they charge for that amount of time. Maybe $50?
Any freelance web development site might be a good place to start.
Hello!
Thank you for your great theme.
I have a lot of portfolio. So my portfolio page is too long. How can I setting number of portfolio ?
please help thanks
Hey myoungstudio!
Yes, there is portfolio pagination that you can activate through your theme options panel
sorry;; I can’t find portfolio pagination in my theme option panel. I can find only Blog pagination option. Please let me know details.
You need to update to the most recent version then. This was added in v1.4
oops~ thank you! I will check it!
Hey,
You need to enter in a custom slug for your portfolio in the portfolio options and resave your permalinks. This is a weird known glitch when using pagination on custom post types with custom permalink structures.
okay. many thanks!
After the great 1.4.2 update it seems like something is forcing my YouTube embeds to be a specific size. Any idea? http://www.drivethruhistory.com/series/ancient-history/
Hey jdtaber!
Responsive styles were generically added for embeds in the last update. If it’s messing with your heights, add this to your custom CSS box and adjust the height as needed:
object, object embed {
height: 500px!important;
}
Hi, Excellent work!!!
Is there a way of removing the search icon, do I edit the header.php file?
Thanks
Thanks benalla9!
Just paste this into your Custom CSS box
#mobile-menu #mobile-search, header#top nav ul #search-btn {
display: none!important;
}
thank you very much
You’re welcome!
How can i update the theme? Regards,
Hey goerith!
All you have to do is download a fresh copy from ThemeForest, delete the version you have on your server (as long as you haven’t modified any theme files) and upload the new.
I been trying to use these theme bust I cant come up with the “about team example” and the toogle pannels. Can you help me?
Hey nvittini
If you’re having trouble understanding the shortcodes, I would recommend that you install the included dummy data file. Go to Tools > Import, select WordPress and browse for the dummy-data.xml file. If you need any further assistance, feel free to open a ticket on our support forum.
Cheers
but where shoud I put the shortocodes.. when I install the xml is it automaticly?
Yes, all of the layouts (which are built from shortcodes) will be loaded into your site for you to play with, learn from or leave them as is and enjoy
Just responded to you in the forum
