Is it possible to have two separate portfolios. For instance I am I have two separate tabs and I have two separate portfolios. I would like tab one to only show content from portfolio 1 and tab 2 to only show content from portfolio 2. Right now once I add an a new portfolio items it appears on every page that is using the portfolio template
Hey leeanddrew, thanks for purchasing the theme!
I am working on a UI for the next update to ease the process of multiple portfolios, for now here’s the current guide on doing that through code – http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/46881/search/
I love your theme so far but i have a question I would like to change the slider on the home page to http://codecanyon.net/item/layerslider-responsive-wordpress-slider-plugin-/1362246?ref=kreatura ...how would i do that?
Hey leeanddrew, thanks for purchasing!
You’d need to open the home template your using and delete the entire “featured” div.<div id="featured"> ....</div>
Now, in that blank area where the nectar slider was, you can paste the function call for layerslider.
Hi again,
I’m having problems with pagination on 3 columns portfolio. Basically pagination doesn’t work – I get 404 error message. It’s all fine displaying all items one one page but the moment you add pagination you can’t see anything beyond page 1.
Thanks!
Hey b1b,
you need to change your portfolio slug in the portfolio options tab to something other than portfolio when using pagination with a custom permalink structure. Go add a slug in, resave your permalinks and it should work 
Hi I got my pagination but now I lost links to all the portfolio items. The slug has updated itself but when i click vie the item i get error 404 I don’t have to go back and change each item? Thanks, Beata
Sorry, ignore. My mistake :)))
Haha, no problem!
Cheers
How do I adjust my blog from standard to standard full-width as shown here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/blog/blog-standard-fullwidth? I can’t find this setting anywhere under the page templates or shortcode?
Thanks!
Hey jlabaw8216, thanks for purchasing the theme! You can change your blog format in the blog options tab in the theme options panel
I looked there and it doesn’t give me an option to change format.. It gives me “Authors Bio options, then share options, then display options (3), then custom options (2)” – No blog format..
Then it’s time to update to the latest version That feature was released in version 1.5.1
Gotcha. Do i have to download all of the files again and re-upload? or can I updated from inside wordpress?
You have to download a fresh copy from TF, delete the old version on your server and upload the new. I recommend using FTP but you can also use the WP dashboard

Hey andigraphix,
Could you provide me with the IE version you’re using? Also, are you just referring to the site being thinner in general in IE (I’m guessing 
or are you noticing the columns breaking in areas?
REDACTED
Sure, send it over to themenectar@gmail.com
Hi, I would like to know if it’s possible to change color (of things like responsive icon of the home) in different color than the general color than I choose ? Thanks
Hey Alexl06!
Here’s how you would go about doing that: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/51174/search/
Thanks for the tips !
Sorry me again, for the same thing. Now my icon has the righ color but when I put my mouse on it it still the general color. I think it miss just one function. Thanks
And is it working with the mouse action on picture from the porfolio or I need an other Css Code ? Thks
You probably haven’t created a css rule for the hover state then – but have no fear! I have decided to extend the functionality of the theme to allow multiple colors for some theme elements – icons being one of them The update that will bring this functionality will be out in a couple days so sit tight!
Can’t wait thanks !
It’s out! 
Hi guys thanks for such a wonderful theme!
I just wanted to ask what would we put into the custom CSS for taking away all the dates from portfolio pls?
Thanks
Hey Natalie! There’s actually an option inside of the portfolio options tab to disable the date from showing – no need for custom css
3.5.2 compatible? Don’t want to proceed with update on client site until I know stuff isn’t going to break. Please let me know!
Currently running Salient on 3.5.1 and all is well.
Hey STYX2109!
Yes, it’s 3.5.2 ready
Hey ThemeNectar!
I thinking of getting this Theme for my site. Have a few questions for you first before i consider purchasing this theme. Maybe you can answer them for me? It would be a great deal for me personally!
1. – For the main page, you have the Slider and content below it. For the home page, is it possible to have the Slider as where it is and the Blog (Standard) below it for the Home page?
2. – For a blog post, You have the share buttons for it (like Facebook, Twitter & Pinterest) Can you add Google+ Sharing Button to that set as well?
Thanks ThemeNectar for making an Awesome theme!
Sincerely,
Gareth Bolton.
Hey Gareth!
1. This would require you to copy the blog code into the home template layout.
2. There’s no built in option for google+ as of now so if you want it, you’d have to create the event and styling to make it all work.
Hey ThemeNectar!
Thanks for the reply!
Could you show me a video tutorial of some sort on how you would get the blog standard below the header please? What you said doesn’t make much sense to me! If you have time. Please respond and show me how this can be done.
Also, How do i create the “event and styling” to make Google+ work for sharing in posts?
Thanks ThemeNectar!
Your far the most best person ever for support! Your just an amazing person! #YouRock!
Thanks a lot Gareth!
1. There’s no video I can send you, but if you really want the mod done you could contract a developer for it (wouldn’t cost too much since it would be fairly quick).
2. Same answer as above – this again is a custom add-on you’re seeking and if you’re not comfortable;e taking the task on your self, you would need to have someone do it for you. I have a developer I can get you in touch with just let me know if you ever want to proceed with it
Cheers
Hey Man!
How can I contact the developer to get those 2 things done when i purchase the theme? How much would the developer cost me to get these done as well?
Thanks.
Shoot me an email for his contact info (themenectar@gmail.com)
Just sent you a email!
Replied
Thanks so much man! I just sent him an email and looking forward to his response!
Hi there,
Loving the theme, I really want to buy it, I just want to know one thing:
1- I need a dark version, is there anyway to do that through the admin or should I edit all the CSS? and are there some element that will be a problem to change to dark colors?
2- Can I have any content (html) in a page, eg. on the home page, having an intro section with graphics and text before the services and recent posts. (I know html and css)
3- Is there a new update coming any time soon?
Thanks for your help. Cheers James
Hey James!
1. You would need to do it through editing the CSS. There’s a possibility I’ll make dark an option in the future but for now you’d have to do the mods. As long as you’re comfortable with html & css, you should be fine. A few other buyers have already done this mod without my help.
2. Yes, you can insert HTML there or wherever else you desire
3. You bet! One’s gonna be out in a couple days.
okay, yes as long as each element is easy to target (using firebug) I should be alright then.
Do you have one of these buyers site (dark version) by any chance? I’d love to see what it would look like.
Is there a trial option?
Thanks for all your answers I appreciate the speedy support.
Best,
Hey JamesNikko!
I would have to dig through the support forums to find them actually – I don’t have the URLs on hand.
There is no trial option, but you should get a very good idea of all the theme has to offer from looking through the demo and possibly watching the tutorial videos if you please.
Hey there,
I’m struggling to work out how to add the contact form to the contact page. Sorry if it’s been covered a thousand times before, I can’t find it.
Thanks
Hey Ben, thanks for purchasing the theme!
The contact form used in the demo uses the Contact Form 7 plugin. You need to install and activate that and then create a form using their interface. Once you’re done with your form, just copy the shortcode that’s sitting near the top and paste it on your contact page.
Awesome! Thanks
You’re welcome!
Hi there,
excellent theme, I love simplicity and attention to details.
However I’m using extended latin characters in the banners (é,è,à,etc.), and the font seems not to include them, resulting in a different format for these characters.
Any way to fix this ?
Thank you by advance
Hey wylesight, thank you very much!
Please see 1:27 in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg62_DU8200
Thx !!
You’re welcome
Hi again,
I have two questions this time : - Regarding home slider caption and button, is there a way to have them in custom position and not centered in height ? - Regarding portfolio page, when the mouse goes over the thumbnails, I’d like the colored layer to be more transparent. I’m a beginner in CSS, could you tell me if there is a way to do these changes, and how and where exactly ? I’ve searched the different CSS files and I can’t seem to find where changes should be made… Thanks !
Hey 3freresprod!
1. Right now it would kind of a pain to change the vertical alignment on a slide by slider basis since it’s not set up for that.
2. Open up the init.js file located in the js folder. Run a search for “work-info-bg” – that will lead you to the relevant location. You’ll find an opacity value for the hover event..right now it’s set to 0.9 so you should change it to 0.4 for a lighter overlay.
Cheers
Thanks !!
You’re welcome!
Question 1 is already solved!
Great!
Hi, I bought your theme, it works great, but I am having a couple of small issues Maybe you can help me?
- When you click the logo in the header it reloads the same page your navigating in. It does not link to “home”.
- I have set a marker icon for the google maps on the contact page. But is is not showing on the map. I have checked “Use Image for Markers”.
Thanks!
Hey TjeerdSteenbergen! I’m glad that you’ve already solved your first question
See 6:18 in this video for your remaining one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg62_DU8200
Cheers
Works like a charm! awesome!
Any way to make the tabbed feature larger? And Centered on the page?
Hey joesmosax!
You could accomplish that with custom CSS additions.
Where would I go to change that in the CSS? Will this have a negative effect on the mobile version?
Also with buttons- it is possible to have the link open up in a new tab? Can buttons have custom colors?
Hey joesmosax!
If you changed the css for it, you might also have to create some new responsive rules to get it play nice in mobile too. Just open you style.css and run a search for “Tabbed” to end up at the relevant section.
The next update will bring both the option to choose a custom color for buttons as well as toggle whether it’s an external link. Sit tight, it’ll be released very soon 
Hey Theme, another quick question. Is there a way for my blog post to automatically post on my FB, linkedin, etc..? Thanks in advance!
There’s most likely a plugin that could do that – but I haven’t personally used one to recommend.
How can I add a shortcode to the theme?
Hey erni41, thanks for purchasing the theme!
Please see this tutorial video regarding shortcodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKGIs0MjSag
Cheers
Thanks, but would like to implement more shortcodes to your system…. that’s what I intended to ask for how I can do this
Ah I see now,
You can find of the shortcode definitions and the processing functions for them inside of the nectar/tinymce folder. If you wish to add new shortcodes to the system, make the additions to those files and follow the structures I have in place.
Hi again,
Don’t mean to be a nuisance, but im afraid im going to have to be, sorry. I’m sort of in two minds about what theme to purchase and i want to make sure I can customize the theme to my exact requirements before i buy. However, I am a bit of a newbie. Annoying for you I know.
I asked before about trying to link the ‘view larger’ to a lightbox gallery of images, not just the one featured image. But when you press ‘More Details’ and go to the post page, I would prefer the images to be stacked, not all in a slider.
I would also like there to be a resize option on the lightbox when you click ‘view larger’
Soooo… I wanted to know, if i purchase the theme would you be able to walk me through how to do that? Now I understand this is pure hassle for you, and to be honest, if I were you I wouldn’t do it. So if you don’t want to then that’s completely fine, but I just thought I’d ask. Maybe i could give you some extra coin or summin.
Thanks.
Hey kan_kan!
1. The more details page can contain stacked images rather than just a gallery such as this – http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio/blackbox/
2. There’s no resize for the built-in lightbox by default so if you wanted that functionality you would have to use a different lightbox script.
How easy is it to create a portfolio on the site, im tired of all this short code crap and stuff not working right
Hello jojo8026,
I’m not sure where your anger is coming from..Have you already bought the theme and can’t figure the portfolio section out? I don’t see your purchased tag so I’m not sure if this a pre-sale question or not. There’s a video tutorial taking you through the process of how to create various portfolio items here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ql7B-mjDBI
I am frustrated with the process of putting portfolios on my current site so im thinking about switching to your theme.
I’m sorry to hear you’ve had bad experiences. What I can suggest is to simply watch the videos of the theme and decide if you feel it’s to your liking before making a purchase
