Hey ThemeNectar,
Questions:
- I want to change the background of the slider button (under the caption text) – actually there is no bg, only a border. Text colour is #fff. So, if there is a picture with some white, users cant read the text
, you know… and i cant find the right line in css-code to change these.
Many THX
Can’t access your demo, the cloudflare cause trouble again.
Hey sai2, it’s not cloudflare that’s the problem. It’s a DoS attack on my server.
Hi ThemeNectar,
One of the plugins that I use quite frequently is the Code Snippet Library. It seems that the theme causes some conflicts with styles for that plugin.
i.e. the horizontal scrollbar will vanish on single post layout, margins dissapear, masonary layout horizontal scrollbar is visible but scrollbar to vanish when it goes past the masonary container element.
Just thought I would mention the above, but again, love love love this overall.
I would instantly buy a plugin version, if ever released, of the portfolio setup and nectar love feature that you use in this theme wink wink nudge nudge
Haha, I take the hint Syrehn. Maybe one day I’ll release something like that
And I’ll try and look into why that other plugin would cause issues.
Hi again,
Is there a way to disable the bullet point styling in the theme? Right now it creates sections with some sort of divider line, however this takes up far more space making it unsuitable for product presentations on our page.
Thanks.
Hey nilskarlen, the default unordered list styling should not be anything out of the ordinary. No dividing lines etc.. Can I have the URL to your products page so I can see what you mean exactly?
Thanks
Check the second tab on this page: http://frialigan.se/portfolio/coriolis/
Actually I need to close it for public access again. I think I will have to get back to you later, once the site is live. No big deal.
nilskarlen, I actually had that page open before you closed access so I was still able to generate a snippet for you!
#sidebar div ul li {
border-bottom: 0px!Important;
list-style: disc inside none!important;
}
Feel free to play around with it some more if you please
Ah, I see that it checks out ok in Safari so must be something with my Chrome that is acting strange.
Thanks for you quick help!
Edit: oops, this should be in reply to the above thread. My bad.
It’s cool, no worries!
Cheers
Another issue with this, it seems that the characters ÅÄÖ are not bolded with this solution. Is this some sort of thing I can easily fix?
Hi,
I’m having problems with bold text not displaying as bold. I am using the Google Font option with Droid Sans as body text. However, when I mark text as bold in the editor it does not reflect on the site. I have tried switching to Open sans with the same result.
Any idea why this is so?
Hey nilskarlen!
The default way Salient handles bold is by making the text color black. The weight isn’t actually changed, but if that’s what you’d prefer just enter this into your Custom CSS Box
body .bold, body strong, body b {
font-weight: bod!important;
}
Thanks! You mean the css box in the Salient/General window right? I pasted the code in there, saved, emptied the cache and previewed but still no bold text. Am I doing something wrong still?
Yes that’s the right window, can I see your URL to a page with some bold text? Thanks!
Sure, this page for example: http://frialigan.se/portfolio/tramenze-intrigernas-flod/
The first paragraph is in bold.
Thanks,
So from what I see that snippet I pasted you is not getting to your frontend…now that I look back at it I had a typo on “bold”
Enter this instead:
body .bold, body strong, body b {
font-weight: bold!important;
}
Pasted the new code and the result is that the letters ä and ö are bold but not the rest… Any idea what could cause that?
I see all being bold at the moment, checked on FireFox and Chrome.
Like in the slider height settings, you say the safe minimum height is 400px.
I don’t want the image to be cropped horizontally even if the size is less than 400px, I want to show the full width of the slider.
The image should shrink in size proportionately but should NOT crop in any case.
Can you provide me a solution for this please.
Its very urgent.
Hey rohitkhuranadce, the safe minimum height is only in place for video slides actually – if you set it to smaller than 400 than video slides won’t have enough space. The reason the edges are getting cropped on your phone is actually because the slider height is probably too tall for your images in mobile.
Enter this into your Custom CSS Box and play with the height value as need:
@media only screen and (max-width : 690px) {
body .orbit-wrapper, body .orbit-wrapper #featured, body .orbit- wrapper #featured article {
height: 250px!important;
}
}
I want to remove the limit from minimum height of the slider.
Here is the complete case: I have made some homepage slider graphics, they look perfect in the laptops and ipad but on cell phone the graphics get cropped from the right and left side. Most of my content is not visible because of it in the cell phones.
I found the reason that we are limiting the minimum height of the slider or something like that which is cropping the images / hiding the edges of images.
I want the full slider to be visible in all the devices, no matter the image gets small in height.
Kindly provide an answer to it as soon as possible.
rohitkhuranadce , please see my answer to your question above
Hi ThemeNectar,
After hunting in the theme forest for literally months, I may finally have found the rare and elusive ‘perfect’ theme to bag.
However, some questions before the money shot…
1) Is it possible (aka easy) to customise the Homepage to show ALL portfolio posts e.g. http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio-4-columns/ WITH filter sorting?
2) In Portfolio, the Project Attributes are not live links to filter all items under that Att. This makes me sad. Any plans to add this or any other form of filtering trigger within Portfolio posts?
3) On an Ipod 3rd generation (yeh, i know…) the hero slider images are non-centered and the Portfolio filter menu doesn’t seem to work. Can anyone confirm/feedback on the themes general functionality on other mobile platforms?
Otherwise, and desktop-wise tho, lovely theme…
Much thanks,
Hey monkeehub, It’s great to hear you think that about the theme!
As for your questions,
1. It would require you to essentially paste the entire code of the portfolio template into your home template. I’ve actually assisted another buyer with this before. It’s not too bad at all as long as your not afraid of looking at code.
2. Right now projects are only sorted by categories as you’ve seen. Perhaps sorting by attributes will also one day come into fruition – but nothing is set in stone.
3. The Theme has full mobile support for more recent smartphones such as iPhone 4+, iPad 2+ and android based devices
Cheers
Thanks for your reply ThemeNectar – I think it’s time to take aim…
You’re welcome!
For some reason my Theme options don’t seem to be saving, for example if I change the accent colour it doesn’t update. Also, if I change the blog layout, that too doesn’t update.
Since I am close to finishing the site, I don’t want to do anything major to try and fix. I wondered if you could let me know where the options set in theme options are saved, I can then manually adjust, it it in a file or the database?
Thanks
Yes you could manually change them in the database, but I’ve never encountered a user that was unable to save anything the options panel. I’d recommend you to open a ticket on the support forum regarding this and any other issues you may encounter as the comments are not the appropriate place
Thanks!
Don’t suppose you could just tell me where in the database the option for choosing the Blog layout is, just need to change it from Right Sidebar to full width Masonry.
I am then pretty much finished
You can run a search for “blog_type” on the options table. There should only be one result, inside of that giant object you’ll find all of the theme options. The value to change the blog_type to would be “masonry-blog-fullwidth”
Brilliant, thank you so much.
You’re welcome
Can I get a preview of the CMS?
Hey soulfoodz! This video should give you a good feel for the backend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg62_DU8200
Hey Guys,
Amazing theme, just before I purchase, I have a quick question… is there a way I could add another contact form into the footer, completely different from the one on the contact page?
Thanks
Pete
Hey Pete!
You could indeed add another form into your footer area, you’d just need to use a plugin.
I have a question, how can i make an image in the slider fit the height, it keeps expanding and doesnt fit the size of the slider. so it a little bigger than i need. can it be fixed??? thank you very much!!
Hey jugo1986! If you need your slider images to not stretch on resize, deactivate the “Slider Image Resize” in your Home Options tab
thank you so much! the theme rock!
You’re welcome!
Cheers 
Is it me or is there a major issue, that is that I seem to get different height images for the main portfolio page, resulting in a broken layout. How do I force it to always be a certain height?
Hello again iamjustoneman, since you haven’t supplied a URL for me to take a peek, I’ll give you all the possible causes and you can determine which one applies to you.
1. Make sure all of your portfolio images have been uploaded after activating Salient. The specific portfolio thumbnail image size is created during upload and any images you might have had in your media gallery before hand will not get cropped in that size.
2. Make sure all the images you’re uploading are at least 800px wide, if you upload too small it’s possible some won’t be able to crop in the correct dimensions.
3. If you’re using custom thumbnails for some, make sure you’re uploading them at the size recommended in the description or else it won’t match the other thumbnails that are created automatically from your featured images.
ok great, will check the points you mentioned.
Also I am having an issue getting the page to scroll anywhere using google chrome.
You can’t scroll in Chrome? I’ve haven’t heard that issue be reported yet and I’m on the demo right now in Chrome.
Yeah the demo page won’t let me scroll on your theme, but it seems to only be the demo. It scrolls fine on a link in another users page fine. I don’t have a popup blocker enabled either.
And do you have that problem on the direct demo without the iframe as well? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/
If so, can you let me know your OS and Browser version. Thanks!
Yes. I am using Montain Lion 10.8.3 (upgrading to 10.8.4 this afternoon) and Chrome Version 27.0.1453.110
Thanks for getting back to me, I’ll try and emulate that setup today and see if I can recreate the issue
I just want to be able to make page breaks using full width images.
Hey freshlesh3! You’d have to do some custom modding to the theme for that. You could create a css rule that would target a specific div to break out of the container and allow full width sections throughout.
Would you be able to walk me through creating a div like that? I don’t want to break the current styling just ad that feature? It would really make my day if I could get this theme today with that feature.
If you can wait a little bit, I’ll see if I can write something up for you on it. If not, then I have a dev. I can get you in touch with for the mod
I’m willing to wait. Thanks for being so responsive, I really appreciate it.
You’re welcome!
Hi ThemeNectar!
The theme is great, but wanted to ask if it is possible to customise some of the elements. For example, I really like the pricing table, but would rather use it without actual prices. If I remove the price part from the code, it sets it back to default and thats it. Or if it is not possible to remove that column, maybe it is possible to replace the prices with something else?
Thank you!
Hey aerialstudio!
Yes, you could remove the price from displaying either with CSS or by removing it all together in the function that is creating the markup in shortcode-processing.php
Hi ThemeNectar, How would you add a button to display videos full screen? The full screen icon does not appear on the video player. Thanks,
Hey constructivemedia, thanks for purchasing! The video player in WordPress 3.6 has a full screen button It should be released soon..
Can I change the header, footer and the site background color?
Thanks!
Hey rgabor, thanks for buying the theme!
Many buyers have, but you need to be comfortable enough with CSS to create the rules for all of those elements.
Trying to upload a video from my desktop. I must give the URL of the video to do so, but how do I find this?
Hey keivon!
In WordPress 3.6 you will have an upload button for your media files, but as of now you have to manually transfer them onto your server. You basically just need to FTP your videos in a folder on your server and then write the URL to them there. For example, the video URL used in the live demo is this: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/video/spacebound.mp4
Ok, thanks
You’re welcome
