Hi,
Just bought your template and it works fine, nonetheless I was wondering if it was possible to switch the default language to let’s say—-> french. So that the overall logic of the template becomes in french: search results, search options… Basically, the ideal would be if I could display a button that allows to switch back and forth from english to french.
I’m using the latest version of your product (Salient).
Cheers
Hey thomseg, thanks for purchasing the theme!
You would have to use a premium plugin like WPML to be able to switch between languages on the fly like you described.
Hi there,
Love the theme so far, but I have two quick questions.
First, When I use the shortcode for the icons, the icons don’t show only the circles, why could this be?
Second, Is there anyway to get rid of the widgets at the bottom of the page?
Thanks!
Hey stephieburrr, thanks for buying the theme!
1. Please supply me with URL to your page so I can see what’s happening 
2. Yes, just deactivate the “Main Footer Area” in your footer options tab.
Thank you!
it’s designnconquer.com
I also forgot one last thing, for some reason, behind one of my thumbnails for my portfolio work there is a huge blob of pink, tried messing with it a bunch of times but I don’t know what it could be.
Thanks for getting back to me so quick!
You’re welcome!
1. It looks like your font files are not getting loaded properly. Have you moved any files, changed path names or used plugins that would mess with things?
2. Rename your category and its slug in your admin panel from “icon” to “icons” or anything else other than “icon”
I just got rid of some plugins to help my site run faster. Other then that I haven’t done much to the site.
Would it help if I just went back to my default settings for the site theme?
You shouldn’t have to revert anything. Would you mind opening a private ticket on the support forum regarding this so I that I can troubleshoot it with you easier?
Thanks

Hey wevercompany,
I’m not sure I understand what you mean. Are you asking how I have captions on my images in the home slider?
Yes!
By using the caption text field http://i.imgur.com/t73QchD.jpg
Hi! I tried to open a ticked but the page is crashing, so I’ll go here! I loved the theme, but there is an issue with the shortcode. When I select a shortcode it does nothing and the button add it also doesn’t work. I tried to disable all plugins and I tried on Chrome and Firefox. Weirdly, when I open IE 10 it works perfecty. That is the first time IE does something that others can’t. I don’t know why, but it seems that the code is not loading properly on chrome and firefox. I don’t know if thats because I’m using cloudflare or its just a bug. I thank you in advance!
UPDATE:
It actually was Cloudflare. Rocketloader was asynchronously loading the JS and for some reason only chrome and firefox had problems. Thanks!
I’m glad you solved your own problem, andrelug! 
Hi,
how can i use the social sharing buttons in a single post header?
thanks Peter
Hey Peter, thanks for purchasing the theme!
Just activate them in your “Blog Options” tab inside of the Salient Options panel 
Thx… sometimes it´s so easy 
Cheers
Hi there, is there a way to change what the portfolio thumbnail links to?
Also, I have an event plug in installed, is there a way to create a ‘template’ to apply to event pages just as I do regular pages?
Hey rachelelnar!
1. Not really on an individual basis. That would require custom modification to the theme because you would essentially need a new input field for each item to enter your custom destination into.
2. Yes, but this is a matter of understanding how to develop with WordPress fundamentally and nothing to do with Salient.
Hey guys – I want to use an actual font for a logo – I have the font – how would I go about that? Also, I was able to add a font to the control panel which was pretty cool 
Also, I wanted to replace the social icons with awesome font (things look pretty bad on retina
) Any idea how I would do that
1. You’d have to create a CSS class that uses your font family and apply that to the logo inside of header.php
2. Font awesome only has a couple social icons, assuming they are the only ones you need, you would have to open the footer.php file and place them in the html.
Yow mister! I’m planning on buying your theme and I was wondering if it’s possible to add subtitles to the frontpage and if those titles can be linked to the menu? So when I click on a menu item it jumps down to the relevant section.
Thank you in advance.
Hey Fadawah!
You’d have to create some anchor points on/next to those headings and have your menu items link to them like: #section-1. If you have knowledge of how to do this this already in HTML it’s no different here. 
All righty. Another question and of rather big importance. Is it possible to create the single-page layout on another page? For example: when I go to fadawah.com I get a single-page layout, but is it possible to replicate this single-page layout on fadawah.com/page2? The other themes I have used don’t have that option and it’s pretty important for the project I will be using it for.
Fadawah,
I’m a little confused as to what you mean but it sounds like it’s not going to be built in standard in Salient.
Hey there, Thank you for the help with the portfolio page. The code worked nicely. Is there a way to change the font of a specific header instead of the whole header family?
Thanks!
You’re welcome 
You could create a specific class for your heading and target that with CSS. e.g.
<h2 class="my-cool-class">My title</h2>and the CSS snippet…
.my-cool-class {
font-family: 'my font family';
}
Thank you, what page would this go on? Also the ‘View All Posts’ and View All Work links on the home page seem to be broken. Do I have to direct those somewhere with code?
<h2 class="my-cool-class">My title</h2>in the text view of your editor wherever you want it to display on the page and you’d put the CSS class in the Custom CSS box in the Salient options panel.
2. No they should automatically work, what version of the theme are you running?
The latest one.
Can you provide me a URL?
sure. SachinMArora.com
Go activate a permalink structure in Settings > Permalinks like ” Post name” and save your changes. That should fix the links. 
Awesome. About the font question, where do I call out the name of the font? Thanks!
In the CSS Snippet you place into the Custom CSS Box:
.my-cool-class {
font-family: 'my font family';
}
I don’t see anything that I need to activate in Permalinks
Your permalink structure is set to “Default” you need to set it to something else like “Post name” and then click Save Changes.
1. Do I put the font where it says ‘my font family’ ?
2. My ‘View All Posts’ Page is working now but my links for ‘View All Work’ still isn’t.
1. Yes.
2. You probably have more than one page that has the portfolio template assigned which is a no no. Check your trashed pages as well to ensure no other pages have it assigned.
Something weird is going on with my sub header fonts, for example in Portfolio – the sub head is a weird font I did not pick. I removed any custom CSS and it’s still like that.
The page header subtitles are coming out weird if that helps.
Sorry to annoy you this morning. You’ve been greatly helpful!
Disregard my last question. Is there anyway to light box all of the images in a portfolio set?
Hey BigSuch,
Currently that’s not possible. Things would get messy if you had gallery portfolio items because it would end up being a set in a set.
Hmm but you know how it says ‘View Larger’ .. is it possible to just flip through all the pictures in that large form? Or is that what you’re trying to tell me is not possible?
Yeah, that’s what I’m referring to unfortunately.
Okay, I’m still trying to make the font thing work from this morning. I copy and pasted your CSS in the custom CSS box. Put ‘Lobster’ instead of ‘my font family’ . Copied and pasted the other part into my text editor (I changed h2 to h4 because that’s the header I’m using there) and it’s still not working. Thoughts?
Yes, you would need to enqueue the font family Lobster in order to reference it. Did you already add a font-face rule for that font in your CSS and include the file? If you don’t know what I mean, here’s a tutorial http://zoerooney.com/blog/tutorials/installing-web-fonts-start-to-finish/ 
Hello, how can i put the information on article appears on the home page in French. Thank you in advance
here is a screenshot

What version of the theme are you on? Those strings can be translated through the .po file 
Hello, I have the latest version
Then those strings should be contained within the .po file. If you’re still having trouble translating them, please open a ticket on the support forum and I’ll investigate further.
how can I change the po file?
By using an app like poedit or a plugin like WPML
Hello, know how you can put your title first before the image is the one on the home page (the title and below the picture) ? Thank you in advance
I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking. Please open a ticket on the support forum mate. 
hello thank you look at the picture of the problem or can come to the bottom of the page?
photo http://initialephoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Capture-d’écran-2013-05-31-à-20.51.50.png
That’s inserted from the plugin WP Stats. If you don’t want it to show, add this into your Custom CSS Box in the Salient Options Panel:
img#wpstats {
display: none!important;
}
Hello, it does not work: (
Post your URL so I can see 
hello here is my website http://initialephoto.com/
It looks like the rule I pasted for you is not getting applied to your site. Are you sure you pasted and saved it in your Custom CSS Box?
yes the css you gave me is implemented in the right place but it does not work
If you inspect your custom.css stylesheet in the browser (the one being generated from the custom css box) There are no rules inside, it’s a blank file. Therefore your problem is not the rule I gave you but rather the fact that your custom.css stylesheet is not updating. Please open a private ticket on the support forum with your credentials if you want me to login and take a look 
Thanks
I do not speak English I’m french I do not want to seek to understand its mennerve quite like her! I find no shame to develop wordpress theme here are french only English pourez aumoin make the effort to translate into french or ask for help?
pierreteasy, I really didn’t understand much of that. If you’re asking to how translate the theme, you need to edit the .po file using a program like poedit or a plugin like WPML
Hello, I would like to add the function of sharing google about each item as in this image is that possible? http://initialephoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/AjouterG.png Thank you for your help I have a second issue thank you to respond to two
Hello, I would like to add the function to follow me on my social networks Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Google+ in the biography of the author on each item are possible, thank you
?
here is the link to an image you helped if my message is not clear.
http://initialephoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Ajouter-reseaux.png
Thank you for your help.
Hey pierreteasy!
1. You’d need to create a custom javascript event to both share the page on google+ and to retrieve the current number of shares.
2. You can copy and paste the social sharing code into the authors bio section located in the single.php file:
<div id="author-bio">
<?php if (function_exists('get_avatar')) { echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta('email'), $grav_size ); }?>
<div id="author-info">
<h3>About <?php the_author(); ?></h3>
<p><?php the_author_meta('description'); ?></p>
</div>
<div class="clear" />
</div>
There would still need to be some editing done to the social code to make it display correct most likely, but I hope my directions have gotten you on the right path 
can you give me the add command to display social networks
Paste this in that section at the bottom:
<ul class="sharing">
<li class="facebook-share"><a href="#" title="Share this"><span class="count" /></a></li>
<li class="twitter-share"><a href="#" title="Tweet this"><span class="count" /></a></li>
<li class="pinterest-share"><a href="#" title="Pin this"><span class="count" /></a></li>
</ul>
and add this into your Custom CSS Section:
.single-post .sharing li {
float: left;
list-style: none;
margin-right: 15px;
}
Hey how can i get the exact carousel u have used in the home page??? Cheers
Hey shane171 
For some reason I don’t see your “Purchased” tag. Have you already bought the theme?
Hi, is there a way to organize the portfolio items? If i wanted an item on top that i posted a while back?
thanks! 
Hey basmahamdy!
You could either change the date on your items to reorder them, or you could use a plugin like this to drag and drop them into order 
Hi there, Great theme. Thank you. We have used the portfolio page and tagged each of our videos with multiple project categories. Is there a way that we can have a specific project category show up as the default one, instead of “ALL”?
Thanks!
Chris
Hey cseeto!
You wound have to open the page-portfolio.php and change the filter parameter in the isotope init function to be your desired category class selector 
Thanks that worked perfectly. Is there a way to list the selected project category as the subheader?
No problem!
- You’d have to use Javascript and bind an event for changing categories to replace the HTML of the subheader with your newly selected item 
Thanks! I’m not skilled in Javascript to be able to write this myself though. Is this an easy piece of code you can knock up for us?
Sure cseeto, but I demand a cookie!
Add this anywhere after the first line in the init.js file located in the js folder:
$('#portfolio-filters ul li a').click(function(){
$('.section-title span').html($(this).html());
});
Thanks [[cookies]]

hi there,
we can’t seem to get that little piece of code to work. sorry.
We have placed it here:

Hey Chris,
you’ll have to supply me with a URL so that I Can see why the event isn’t firing correctly. I tested it locally before posting so it should work.
Thanks
Thanks. http://www.engine.net.au and click through to WORK
Chris, you need to add a subtitle to your page to start out with. All the Javascript does is change that subtitle to the selected category, but will do nothing if there is no subtitle in place. Just add a subtitle to the header of the stating category and it should work 
all working! thanks!
You’re welcome!
Hi there, We have another question for you. When clients of ours go onto our CONTACT page via their mobile (specifically an iPhone 4) the map is quite large and because it fills the frame when they try and scroll down to find the phone number they can only scroll the map. Is there a way to make the window for the map, for mobiles, less high? Chris
Hey cseeto, it’s been a while!
Enter this into your Custom CSS Box and play around with the height 
@media only screen and (max-width : 690px) {
body #contact-map {
height: 200px!Important;
}
}
Hi there,
Awesome theme
Is there any way to add custom icons to the Font Awesome pack/or just this theme. Seconds away from buying, but I really do need a way to insert custom icons aside from Font Awesome ones (while still maintaining that awesome hover effect). Any ideas?
Cheers, Sam
Hey Sam!
You would essentially have to create custom CSS classes and add them in the raw HTML that forms the icon instead of using the shortcodes. This would let you keep the hover effect, but use custom icons not found in the generator. 
Is there a way to put a logo in the header like in your preview website (the blue triangular crown thing…)? Thanks.
Of course bostrand 
If you go to the Salient options panel and check out the header options tab, you’ll see a a box to “Use Image for Logo”.
Hi ThemeNectar, absolutely love this theme, it works exceptionally well, and so easy to use and edit. I just have one question – I have installed a liveChat plug-in on my website and the console is covering the “to-top” button link. I’ve tried editing the CSS with the new attriutes (bottom: -50px; right: 40px) but after I save the CSS file, it doesn’t change… Chrome developer is telling me that the styles from the Stylesheet are being overridden from somewhere – could you help me in fixing this small issue? Many thanks, and once again, love the theme. 
Thanks petefinlan!
Yes, the scroll to top button values are being calculated with JavaScript, so you would need to modify them in the init.js file as opposed to just the stylesheet.
So open the init.js file located in the js folder and locate this section (it should be around line 1321 if you’re on the most recent version)::
function showToTop(){
if( $scrollTop > 350 ){
$('#to-top').stop(true,true).animate({
'bottom' : '17px'
},350,'easeInOutCubic');
$(window).unbind('scroll',showToTop);
$(window).bind('scroll',hideToTop);
}
}
You’ll need to edit the value for ‘bottom’ : ‘17px’ to be whatever you desire 
Thanks so much ThemeNectar, it works great. For other users, I also added ‘left’ : ‘40px’ to bring the to-top button a bit further left to match up with my chat dialog box. Also, very impressed with the quick reply, what a great Author. 
You’re very welcome! 
ThemeNectar, I love your theme.. but when embedding images or ads by the blog sidebar it get cuts into half
http://www.webpagescreenshot.info/img/51990d33931524-08163317wat can i do?
Thanks extu! For some reason I don’t see your “purchased” tag. Have you bought the theme under a different account name?
i didn’t buy wit my account… my job is to set it up for the client
Okay, well can you please post this in the support forum and get your purchase code from the client?
Thanks 
Hey cshs90112, thanks for buying the theme!
You need to assign your home page as the front page in Settings > Reading 
THX~
You’re welcome!
Hi there
This is a gorgeous theme and I’d love to buy it – is it possible to have more room at the top for the logo? Say 150px deep?
Thanks in advance
Best wishes
Mandy
Hey mandyjade!
Yes, you define your own logo height and header padding the theme options panel 
Hi Is there a way to change the link in the “back to all portfolio items” under the “single-portfolio” to a link other than the portfolio page?
Hey basmahamdy!
Yes, open the single-portfolio.php template and right in this section:
<div id="portfolio-nav">
<ul>
<li id="prev-link"><?php next_post_link('%link'); ?></li>
<li id="all-items"><a href="<?php echo $portfolio_link; ?>">Back to All Portfolio Items</a></li>
<li id="next-link"><?php previous_post_link('%link'); ?></li>
</ul>
</div>
Change the href value for:
<li id="all-items"><a href="<?php echo $portfolio_link; ?>">Back to All Portfolio Items</a></li> To be wherever you want
i tried that but it gives me a weird link, can you paste an example where you replace the value with a link/page
ok i figured it out thanks so much 
Use an absolute link (include http://) or else the link will be relative to that page and most likely be malformed to what you were expecting.
<a href="http://themenectar.com">Back to All Portfolio Items</a>
Haha, great!
