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!

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 :)

Hello, I tried to write down the text on the picture. ( it means that inside of picture.) but I am still out of this situation..!!!! can’t solve it. texts are still located under the picture…. How can i do that? Also, How did u write down texts inside of Slide show? Please help me! :(

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?

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! :D

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 :-)

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!

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 :) http://initialephoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Capture-d’écran-2013-05-20-à-17.26.49.png

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

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! :D

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/51990d33931524-08163317

wat 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 :)

HI~love the theme,there’s a question I have assigned one Home page. But Home slider still don’t show up. i have no idea. http://www.lichenple.com/

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?

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! :)
