Hello, Before I purchase this theme I just want to make sure that the 4 icons and text right below the hompage slider can be made into clickable links to other pages on the site. Please let me know if this is possible! thank you
Yes, you would just have to wrap them in regular HTML links in the text view 
Hi again, Turns out I do have another question..
My carousels on this page http://replayhouse.com/replayhouse/?page_id=1073 are jumping about and not scrolling correctly. All images are the same size. Any idea what iv done wrong?
Thanks!
Another one, how can we in crease the home slider text size and remove the black bar from behind. Cheers!
1. In your typography options, choose open sans > book for the font and change the size to whatever you desire.
2.
#featured article .post-title h2 span {
background-color: transparent!important;
box-shadow:0px 0px 0px!important;
}
Fantastic, cheers
No problem 
Hey guys, a couple quick qstns. Firstly I can’t see a License Certificate next to my purchased ‘regular license’ at my themeforest downloads page so can’t open a ticket for the minute. I have added the code as suggested earlier to keep the header the same size when viewing on the iphone, how can I use a larger, centred version of the mobile menu icon?
my site http://www.papercranemedia.co/ isn’t displaying as responsive on my mobile, I have responsive turned on in the salient theme options. It also isn’t opening to the ‘home’ page and the header menu’s arent directing anywhere… I’ve only added typekit fonts to the theme..
and finally, where would I find the padding code located to reduce the border on the header, page content and footer?
thanks guys, great theme!!
Hey James!
1. You can’t center the mobile nav icon without doing some modding to structure/css, but you could easily swamp the icon for whatever you like and modify the relating css rule if you need it bigger.
2. You’re entire site is wrapped in a frame, inspect the source of your page and you’ll see. That will break the responsive media queries on devices.
3. Header padding is configured by you in the options panel in the header options tab, I don’t know which part of the footer you want to reduce the padding on, but open up the footer.php and find the relating ids/classes of the wrapping divs and create css rules to alter the:
padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px;
thanks! We I inspect I can see it is in a frame, any idea why or how to remove this? I’ve replaced with my new icon but only a small section is showing through..? thanks so much – I was just wanting to reduce the vertical margins on both sides of the site.
Maybe a plugin of some sort placed it there or something with your server?
Thanks!! all sorted now, was redirecting to temp url
Great!
BEST THEME I’VE EVER PURCHASED FROM THEMEFOREST. So clean and versatile. I love it.
Can’t wait to see what you do next!!!
Thanks CrucialCounty! I’ll make sure to blow you away with the next one 
hey themenecter three questions:
1- curious how to remove the little vertical line that appears inbetween the favicon and the page title on the page tag.
2- id like the link colors to be different than the highlighted color within the them options… even just a small dotted underline would do. possible?
3- also, is it possible to speed up the slideshow within the portfolio posts?
many thanks, emily
Hey Emily!
1. There should not be a vertical line there, can you show me a URL?
2. If you add an extra property for the links, it’s going to end up targeting more than you would want and you’d have to make a lot of other rules to remove the dotted underline (for example) on them.
3. Open the init.js file located in the js folder and search for //gallery add a property for duration to this: slideshowSpeed: yourSpeedInMS
So here’s what it would look like:
$('.flex-gallery').flexslider({
animation: 'fade',
controlsContainer: '.flexslider',
smoothHeight: false,
animationSpeed: 500,
useCSS: false,
touch: true,
slideshowSpeed: 5000
});
worked like a charm, thanks!
totally understand about the links, thanks for the thoughtful response.
and for the little line, you can see it on each page here
No problem!
You can try editing the title tag in your header.php file, but there shouldn’t be a line there by default.
great! will do.
is it possible to have the title of the portfolio post appear when rolling over the image?
again, thanks, you’ve been such a terrific help.
You’re very welcome
You could accomplish that by finding this section in your portfolio templates:
echo '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">'.__("More Details", NECTAR_THEME_NAME).'</a>'; ?>
and changing it to this:
echo '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">'.the_title().'</a>'; ?>
Hey Salient,
Having an issue with firefox and a plugin i’m using to display listings in an iframe. http://www.dennisplintz.com/listings-2/ Occasionally the footer floats up over the listing page or an individual listing when clicked. Any ideas? Thanks!
Haha, that’s the first time I’ve been called “Salient” 
Enter this into your Custom CSS Box
.iframe-embed {
height: auto!important;
padding-bottom: 0px!important;
}
.iframe-embed iframe {
position: relative!important;
}
Haha thanks for the fix! I wanted to be very targeted in my communication with you
Haha
Hi again,
Another question: since updating to the latest version yesterday I have the problem that others have reported namely that the shortcode generator does not work anymore. When I click on it the popup window appears, but its all white. I’ve tried the actions suggested in the FAQ to no success. Any suggestion how to solve this?
Thanks again, Nils
Hey Nils, I haven’t heard of the shortcode generator breaking with v1.5, there’s just been isolated incidents in the past with it never working from the beginning due to server permission errors. Please open a private ticket on the support forum asap with your credentials so I can see why yours is not working.
Thanks!
Trying that just now. however I can’t find the purchase code in my downloads section here. It just says “Regular license”, no sign of “License certificate” as in the screenshot…
Ticksy hasn’t updated their docs yet for the new ThemeForest UI, click download > License Certificate
Great, ticket submitted now
Thanks, I’ll be with you soon!
I apologize if this was asked before, but i couldn’t seem to find an answer.
I currently have a logo setup and i was wondering if i can adjust the height postion of the menu because its not aligned with the bottom edge of my logo.
Thanks,
Hey deandaman!
Would you be able to share a URL so I can see what you mean better?
Thanks
yeah sure,
www.itlalalabs.com
you can see when i scroll down the menus are mis aligned with the logo it looks wrong.
Looks an under construction page is active at the moment
opps, sorry about that. gimme me just a second and it’ll go online.
its up.
Okay thanks,
so if you want to adjust that alignment, you’ll have to open up the init.js file, located in the js folder, and search for the nav section. Inside of that area, find the parts in the headerInit, smallNav and bigNav functions that relate to the padding given to links. It looks like this:
$('header#top nav > ul > li > a').stop(true,true).animate({
'padding-bottom' : (((logoHeight-shrinkNum)/2) - ($('header#top nav > ul > li > a').height()/2)) + headerPadding / 1.8,
'padding-top' : ((logoHeight-shrinkNum)/2) - ($('header#top nav > ul > li > a').height()/2)
},{queue:false, duration:250, easing: 'easeOutCubic'});
Adjust your padding top to be more and padding bottom to be less. I know this probably feels daunting, so if you need to have a developer handle it for you just let me know and I’ll get you in touch with one
Cheers
I’ll grab a cup of tea and see if i can do it first
Thanks Nectar
You’re welcome!
Hi there & thanks very much for the prompt response earlier!

Hoping you can help as I can’t see this happening with any other mobile device!
Cheers
That’s the weirdest problem I’ve seen posted yet with the iPhone 4, haha. I’ll take a look into it.
Great thanks very much! I know it’s stumped me also! & I checked on another iphone4 yday & it is still there :-/ unfortunately!
Strange! Do you see that same thing happening on the live demo for the clients section?
Hi,
A quick question, I’m trying to follow the instructions to create a child theme, in the manual it says that I should copy colors, custom and fonts files both the php and css versions. However, in the css folder of the theme I can only find colors.php, custom.php and fonts.php and not the css files. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
The new user guide with the latest version should actually not have a child theme section anymore. (If you’re looking at the one embedded in the theme in the Theme Information tab, that version might be cached as an old version) Basically, if you’re on v1.5 you don’t need to do anything special to set up a child theme anymore; no more copying any files over
Ah, then it was the cached version that I checked. Thanks for the clarification!
No problem nilskarlen!
Hi there,
I’ve just purchased Salient, and it looks beautiful.
I have 1 question:
Would it be possible to somehow make the frontpage like a one-page theme? Ie. make the menus to link to specific anchors on the home page (like domain.com/#aboutus or domain.com/#team etc)?
I’m a PHP-coder by day – and have other responsive theme which is a one-page, and here I just do Team and then have a <section id=team> somewhere on the page
Thanks for any input to making this theme even more valuable!
Hey outsourcers!
It would require you to essentially paste all the sections you want into the home template your using and then add a jQuery plugin like scrollto (http://flesler.blogspot.com/2007/10/jqueryscrollto.html) to bind events for your nav to run a scrollTo function based on the their hash. Are you also comfortable with the JS library jQuery?
Hi ThemeNectar
Thanks for a great theme!
I’m having a problem with the tag page. The main navigation doesn’t display and I can’t figure out why. I haven’t touched any of the template files that the page uses. Can you help?
Cheers
David
Hey David!
Would you mind opening a ticket on the support forum with your URL so I can see what’s wrong?
Thanks
Hi there, I have been looking at buying salient for a while now. I love the design and its very close to being perfect for my needs, There are just a two things I would like to ask before making my decision.
1. infinite scrolling or show more option – rather then pagination to save time and make searching easier for visitors. (blog and portfolio)
2. Masonry for blog- personally a big fan of blog masonry would be nice to have the option.
Please let me know if you are thinking of implementing these into a future Salient update.
Came across a new them which is similar and implements masonry but have to be honest I do still prefer Salient. Just food for thought.
Keep up the great work!
http://themeforest.net/item/bouncy-responsive-multipurpose-theme/4832702?ref=fuelthemes (theme i was referring to)Hey 2simpl!
It’s possible I will consider a masonry layout for the blog, but it’s up in the air as of now. I probably won’t add infinite scrolling though on this theme though.
I’m glad to hear you still prefer the original
Hi ThemeNectar. How are you?!
I just bought the theme a week ago. Very, very nice theme!
I’m having some issues with it and i need your help here!
1. Is it possible to get rid of the “view larger” and keep the “more details” button? Ow, and also change the text of the “more details” ?
2. Change the size and color of the footer.
Thanks for your help!
Cheers, Marcello
Hey Marcello!
1.
.portfolio-items .col .work-item .work-info a.pp {
display: none!important;
}
Edit your template files, (page-portfolio.php, template-home-x.php) to change the wording. Just run a search for “more details”
Hi TN!! Works perfectly!!!
Thank you very much!!!
You’re very welcome!
Hey is it possible to disable resize of the top bar that there is always the small topbar ?
Hey joeriaben! Yes, you can disable the resize on scroll and also define your own logo height and padding.
ok thanks i go buy the theme soon
Cool!
Cheers joeriaben
Hello TN, very nice theme and easy to use. I received notice about the last update but do not know where to download it. Today I tried to download the file from my download page and I tried to install the zip file but wordpress responded that the installation was not successful.Will you help me?
Thank you very much.
Lamberto
Hey Lamberto, what was the exact error message? It could be that you never deleted the old version first.
Hi TN, I uninstalled the theme 1.4 and installed 1.5 but in the Edit Portfolio Item/Project configuration, not appear under Custom Thumbnail Image the Gallery Slider option. Can you help me? Thanks, Lamberto
Hey Lamberto, I’m not sure I know exactly what you mean. Would you mind opening a private ticket on the support forum with your credentials so I can see what’s wrong for myself?
Thanks
now I do, thank you!
Cheers
Hi TN,
If I install this update, will I move some of the custom modifications? Like how you showed me to create a separate photography page which uses the portfolio features. Will that go away? and any custom css?
Thanks, SA
Hey BigSuch,
You’d have to make the custom mods in the new theme or transfer those sections of code over. Your custom CSS will remain as long as it’s in the Custom CSS Box and not CSS you modified in the actual stylesheets
Ok thank you!
You’re welcome
I just updated and it looks like my whole site just broke =( .. do I need to update wordpress or something?
No, you shouldn’t have to. Open a ticket with your URL and let me see
Done
Responded!
Hey vitaonwax!
It would be hard to integrate any custom fonts into the admin panel ( if you mean putting them into the select fields in the typography options), but it’s pretty easy to just use custom fonts on the front end where you desire. Here’s a ticket I responded to on the subject of custom fonts: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/51185/search/
Cheers
I got it. Thanks. I will use custom fonts on the front end.
Sounds good
Cheers, vitaonwax
