1.Can I remove Widget area(from all pages)?
2.Increase Paragraph font size?
3. Increase font size/weight in the menu area?
4. Use the home slider on 3 different pages- each page showing a different set of slides. Is that possible?
Thanks- great theme!
Hey joesmosax, thanks for purchasing the theme!
1. Yes, you can deactivate the widget area in your footer options tab in the theme options panel.
2. You can adjust your paragraph size in typography options inside of the theme options panel
3. ^ Same as above 
4. This would require some custom development unfortunately as the theme is not set up to handle that.
Hey Theme, Is there anyway to insert MOV files into your portfolio? Or if you know any better way to display something from Keynote, the advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Hey Big!
All you would need to do is convert your .mov files into .mp4’s and .ogv’s. This way they can be used with the self hosted video option inside of the theme. There’s a bunch of free online converters that can take of this for you easily. Alternatively, you just upload your MOV’s to Youtube or Vimeo and place the embed code in the portfolio – both of these options will work it’s just up to your whether you would rather use the theme’s player or an external one.
Cheers
Thank you for the response, Theme!
You’re welcome!

Is it possible to introduce the parallax effect further down the page, similar to here: http://lieftink.nl/werkgebieden/
Hey iamjustoneman!
That would require custom additions as of now since Salient doesn’t offer any built-in ways of adding parallax’d areas other than the home slider.
Errrr, wow! I see that you have added it in the latest version. Unbelievable good
Thanks!
Enjoy
Hi ThemeNectar,
My site (using the Salient theme) has been getting some W3-error regarding iframes from Youtube. The error I have been getting is:
‘The frameborder attribute on the iframe element is obsolete. Use CSS instead.’
Running my site (http://www.yagoproducties.nl) through the W3-validator.
Do you know why this is, and if you do, could you fix it?
Thanks!
Hey Hugo!
The HTML5 doctype (which salient uses) doesn’t support that attribute. It’s not really causing you any problems by keeping it, but if you really want to fix it to get a perfect validiation you could add
frameborder="0"onto your iframes.
can i add email or phone to the social media section for team members?
Hey rynleigh,
By default the bottom section of the team members is looking to create links – you probably wouldn’t need the phone numbers linked. So I would recommend putting that information in the content section in each of your team members to avoid have to modify how the team members shortcode processes.
BAD CODING ?
I check the home source code thru chrome, and found that your code is a LOT longer than other theme designer, triple or more. It is regarding your <style type=”text/css”>, others put it into style.css so shorter.
It may look the same to human, but not to google bot. May i know why you prefer this ?
What you’re seeing are the dynamic styles of the theme, i.e. the ones that change on a regular basis based upon what you select in your theme options (accent color, custom css, responsive design etc.) The actual theme stylesheets which are static are linked through external stylesheets, as they should. The dynamic styles you see at the top of your page in
<style></style>tags do not have any negative impact in your SEO or how Google interrupts your page. They are located in the correct location (<head> tag) and all Google see’s is CSS, the same as it would if it was referenced in its own external stylesheet. A fact that you might also not be aware of is that stylesheets in general have little impact on your page ranking, the HTML markup and page content is where all the significance goes.
I used to have the dynamic styles placed in their own external stylesheets, but some buyers would always encounter internal server errors from doing so. This is because those stylesheets had to opened and written to by the server every time you made an update in your theme options panel. Therefore, I could either accept the theme not working correctly for some users and have them end up with a broken product or make those styles internal.
I ask that you please do the required research before making such accusations next time if you encounter something you’re not sure of, or that you raise your concern in a polite way.
Thanks
Thanks for the explanation. I didn’t mean to accuse you of anything, sorry for any confusion.
I find that Kriesi also use dynamic css like this, but his one is shorter. Is there a way to cut down some code. I’m not going to use these carousel, portfolio, slider, mansory, video jplyaer, all shortcode. Can i remove those from the dynamic css to make the code shorter and how ?
It’s okay sai2, I just wanted to clear up your concerns.
The majority of the length is coming from the responsive styles. I am going to be releasing an update patch with some new features/bug fixes in the next day or two and I will see if I can reduce the length of those styles as well.
Cheers
I’m really appreciate for your help. Virusnac is another developer i like, but his theme is way more powerful and complicated, and have too many theme to support. I kind of like your style, focus on less theme, update frequent. Just keep your code clean and short, thank you.
You’re welcome!
I have managed to reduce the bulk of the internal styles by a significant amount with a new approach – look for it in the next release
Cheers
Pls release asap, maybe within 48 hours, i need to launch my new site soon.
Can’t wait for the release. Awesome support. Thanks a lot.
You’re welcome!
It will most likely be released in 2-3 days. I’m also adding some cool new features
is there a way to change the footer from 4 widgets to 3?
Open up your footer.php file and locate the widget areas. Delete one of them and change the remaining one’s classes from span_3 to span_4
Hi,
I’ve installed the theme and everything is great but the accents are being replaced by other fonts. You can see it here:
http://principessabiscoitos.com/site/How can I fix it?
Thanks Claudio
Hey Claudio!
Please see this video in regards to that question and skip to 1:17
Thanks!
I’ve already did that, but just the tag body is not working… Is it easy to fix?
Thanks again.
Now it works Thanks!!!
Cheers 
Hello,
I need to change the button-text “view larger” and “more details” on the front page in the recent work.
I was able to change it in the portfolio pages, but those changes do not apply to the front page.
Can you please help me?
Thank you! Eva
Hey Eva!
Are you using a home template to display the recent work or a shortcode? My answer for what files need to be changed will vary depending on which method you’ve used
I use a short code
Open up the shortcode-processing.php file located inside of tinymce folder. Search for “recent projects” and you’ll be at the relevant section. Now just change the same strings as you did before for view larger and more details
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Sorry, i’m back again 
Try to add a ‘side wide call to action’. Can’t find it anywhere. It doen’t seem to be a shortcode…
Thanks
Hey again Foresthans
You can configure your call to action section in the general settings tab inside of the theme options panel.
Hi There,
Working on my site. Placed a divider line between heading and the rest of the page. Now I see to much white space below the heading. How can I avoid this? It is unlike the divider line on your own theme. You can see what I mean in this example: http://www.responsivedesigninfo.nl/Thanks…
Hey Foresthans!
When you use a divider line it has margins for top and bottom by default to create space. However, after finished a row of columns, you also have a div inserted for clear below and that div has space. If you were to use a standard page heading in the header settings tab or a centered heading shortcode rather than a blockquote in columns, the space would be even. If you prefer to keep your quote as a title, you could create a special css class to remove the extra space in this case.
Hi ThemeNectar!
http://s13.postimg.org/syf8fb05j/Screen_Shot_2013_06_21_at_6_46_47_PM.pngI can’t seem to find the correct way to have the line after the phrase “Specialty – Nutrition & Weight loss” at the same level as the line on the left and right column.
I tried using
but it doesn’t work.
Any tips on what i could do?
Thanks for the help
You could try a
[divider]shortcode, but if it’s still not exactly even, the best option would be to set a height for all of those sections with css to force them into being even.
how could i do the CSS option?
Would you mind posting the URL to that page so I can give you a snippet specific to it?
Thanks!
The website is locked for outsider users. Do you have an email where i can send you the login details?
Sure no problem, themenectar@gmail.com
inbox sent, the subject of the email is called “Amirk90 Client theme Salient”
Thanks, I’ll be with you as soon as I can!
hey just wanted to follow up with you to know if you had a chance to have a look at the website
Not yet, amirk90 please continue to be patient most of my time went into the 1.6 update and now I’m playing catch up
Is there as way to make the portfolio(project) categories appear as menu items on the top? It seems when I’m creating my menu, I can only chose from general categories/pages/single portfolio items – however, project categories are not part of it.
I’d like to create a menu “UX/UI Design | Branding | Animation |...” and then list the corresponding portfolio items below.
Thank you in advance!
Hey Hendrixter!
As of now, you’d have to make custom layouts for each project category and then link to them with custom menu links. It’s still a possibility that I will add additional functionality with the portfolio in the future to make things like this easier!
Here’s the relevant forum post on the subject: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/47484/search/
Hey Two things, 1) Is there a way to adjust the height of the portfolio so all the items are the same height.
2) is there a way to ut the facebook/twitter/pintrest icons from the single portfolio page, in the main layout of the portfolio, instead of just having the heart icon?
Thanks
Hey brunswickstudios!
1. If your images are varying heights than I assume that some of your portfolio images were uploaded prior to your server prior to activating Salient. Salient automatically creates the thumbnails sizes for your portfolio images when you upload them but if any were uploaded prior those sizes won’t be created. Try reuploading your images that are different heights now
2. Technically you could but it would require some custom modding of the files to get it to work.
1. It seems to be because of the text under the image. I.E the portfolio item header. Some are short so are one line, some are a bit longer, so two lines, which pushes everything below it down a line.. So wanted a set height so even ones with one line, match those with two lines to text.
2. any tips on where to start?
1. in that case open the page-portfolio.php file and locate the isotope init function.
Change it to this:
$container.isotope({
itemSelector : '.element',
filter: '*',
layoutMode: 'fitRows',
});
2. You can find the social sharing code inside of the single.php file. It will need to get copied into the includes/post-template files in the meta div.
first part worked great, thanks
the second part doesnt seem to work. It looks like it is running on some sort of options selection which then doesnt correspond to the front portfolio page.
-
<!
-/nectar-love-wrap->
<?php if(!empty($options['portfolio_date']) && $options['portfolio_date'] 1) {
if( empty($options[‘portfolio_social’]) || $options[‘portfolio_social’] 0 ) { ?>
- <?php the_time('F d, Y'); ?> <?php } } // portfolio social sharting icons if( !empty($options['portfolio_social']) && $options['portfolio_social'] 1 ) { //facebook if(!empty($options[‘portfolio-facebook-sharing’]) && $options[‘portfolio-facebook-sharing’] == 1) { echo ‘
- ’; } //twitter if(!empty($options[‘portfolio-twitter-sharing’]) && $options[‘portfolio-twitter-sharing’] == 1) { echo ‘
- ’; } //pinterest if(!empty($options[‘portfolio-pinterest-sharing’]) && $options[‘portfolio-pinterest-sharing’] == 1) { echo ‘
- ’; } } ?>
thats the code i copied and then pasted in the page-portfolio.php where the orignal nectar love symbol was.
(when i post the code here it changes slightly, but you can see roughly what im talking about)
Yes, to move the social sharing buttons would require some additional work. It wouldn’t be as straight forward as your other question – I was just pointing you in the right direction in regards to the files
ok thats cool we also just noticed one other thing..
the top menu, if we have to many links, when the window is shrunk, the menu text overlaps with the logo for about 100px before it turns into that forced drop down menu for small windows.
wheres the code to adjust the min width for that drop down menu to appear so we can stop the menu overlapping with the logo for smaller windows.
thanks.
You can find the responsive media queries inside of the responsive.css stylesheet in the css folder. Or you could use a smaller logo so the overlapping doesn’t occur
I need to add e-commerce. What is the most compatible cart plugin for your theme?
Hey trocity, as of now Salient doesn’t have default support for any eCommerce platform. Some buyers have used WooCommerce, but I expect there’s have to be a few mods to get it to play nice.
1. How to disable the sticky menu ?
2. How to remove Posted by AND No Comments ?
3. How to change the background color to white instead of grey ?
Hey Sai2, I responded to your earlier ticket posting the same questions but I’ll repost my answers here
1. The theme only gives you the built-in option to turn off the header resize on scroll effect. If you wish to disable the header being fixed at the top, you would have to do some CSS modding.
2. You can modify the meta information for blog posts inside of the includes/post-templates files
3. Please see this ticket http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/55227/search/
1. Successful change the background color, but not the sticky menu. If you can get a built-in header resize, why not turn off sticky menu button. Both these 2 function should built-in.
2. I think is here /includes/post-templates/entry.php, not sure how to change
: ’; } echo ’’.get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, ‘full’, array(‘title’ => ’’)) .’’; if( !is_single() ) { echo’’; } } ?>
1. I added the option to disable the resize effect because some might not like the extra flare it brings, but the majority of users don’t complain about having a fixed nav. I have done my best to constantly maintain and add to Salient as time goes on so maybe I will add the ability to remove the fixed header and keep it static if more request it but as of now – you’re the first!
2. If you’re using a WP versions under 3.6 you should be editing the post-templates-pre-3-6. Inside each of them look for these lines:
<?php echo __('Posted by', NECTAR_THEME_NAME); ?> <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> | <?php the_category(', '); ?> | <a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>">
<?php comments_number( __('No Comments', NECTAR_THEME_NAME), __('One Comment ', NECTAR_THEME_NAME), __('% Comments', NECTAR_THEME_NAME) ); ?></a>
Just delete them all together and you’ll be good
Thanks for the theme. I am really liking it.
I was wondering if you could tell me how to move the site wide call to action section from the bottom of the site to just under the headers?
Thanks again.
Hey rynleigh, thanks for purchasing the theme!
The site wide call to action section code is located in the footer.php file. You can copy and paste that code in other sections in the files if you choose to. For your scenario it would have to go into the header.php file
thanks very much. i found the call to action code, but am unclear where to put it in the header. i put it at the bottom but it appeared above the slider and i need it below the slider.
Hi, Thanks for the very nice theme!
I’m trying to find a way to create a slider gallery in my portfolio items as shown here : http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-portfolio-blog-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266 I read somewhere that the slider gallery is only available with the 3.6 version of WordPress (I have installed 3.5). Is there any other way for me to have a slider gallery in portfolio item? Plugin, css code ?
Thanks!
Hey 3freresprod, thanks for purchasing the theme!
Yes, of course there is! I actually am going to write up some more detailed instructions on that video tutorial because it seems to be confusing people. (I wasn’t expecting it to take this long for WP 3.6 to come out)
Until you upgrade to 3.6, you’ll still have the old way of uploading a gallery which is using multiple featured images. You should see 6 boxes for them on the right hand side
one more time, question is how to run a flexislider with noconflict mode? this is very important to me
The entire init.js file is run in no conflict mode. Are you having issues with the flexslider?
I have problem, I use on home page a wp stickies plugin www.getgringo.pl and this two plugin do not work correct on one page ;/
Are there any errors being thrown you can report to me so that I can give you some more insight on why that might be?
if you open my website and wait some 3 seconds than scrool down page, check that wp sticers works on ipad photo, next back to top, the main slogan on home slider is not visible…
maybe this is problem with opacity, I see that the opacity of slogan text in home slider change to 0 when slider image is rotate but do not back to “1”
one important question – how to create in page a full width div width full width background image?
Hey kylo1989! As of now, that would require custom css classes and html to break out of the container and become full width. I’ve answered how to do so on the support forums but it’s still possible that I will build a shortcode to do the work for you in a future update!
nice
