If you include multiple sortable portfolios this theme will be unbeatable!!! Awesome theme :)

Hi, sorry to be a pain, but i usually create websites from scratch but my client’s needs lend to WP on this occasion so this is the first WP template i’ve played with…

Am i missing something? as when i look at the source code of the pages they have virtually the entire CSS code on the page rather than inside a neat and tidy .css file somewhere.. is this typical of wordpress themes?

Thanks for your clarification

Andy

What version are you using Andy? v1.6+ massively reduced the dynamic styles located at the top of the page. Also, just for your knowledge the css at the top was just the dynamic styles of theme – ones that changed based upon your preferences in the options panel. The actual static css styles were kept inside external stylesheets.

Hiya, thanks for your quick response (client wants website up by monday :( ) – im still on old version, was waiting for the bugs to be ironed out of the 1.6 ;).. i don’t like to see the css splashed out in the source like that, i’m making all my changes via the styles.css file anyway, WP is already making me feel disconnected from the website (much prefer building from html) still, gotta get my head round a few things… i’ll grab the update over next 24 hours and trust the dynamic css isn’t as bad or i guess i could hack the php parts that paste it in there, probably gonna be a hassle though..

Cheers

Andy

1.6.1 is actually already out and took care of all the bugs that were raised. You’re safe to upgrade and you’ll see the amount of styles at the top go down by around 8 to 10 fold :)

Cheers and good luck getting the site done for your client by monday!

Best value theme on ThemeForest with the updates coming through and the support – stunning product :)

Thanks so much jon_b!

All good – well deserved :) It looks as though the front page slider fits screen width now – is that correct?

Yes, you’re correct :)

For the next update how about a woocommerce integration? I bought this theme but can’t use it because it doesn’t do too well with woocommerce as is. I think this would attract more future buyers if you did it.

Thanks for the suggestion trocity! Yes, Woocommerce just might be the next item on the plate now..

Excellent! Any ideas how soon?

It would still be a little bit before I get to that if I do – I still need to get caught back up now that I’m finally done 1.6 & the unexpected 1.6.1… I’ll keep you updated :)

Important Update Notice

Hey guys! The update 1.6.1 has been submitted to ThemeForest and is now available to download. The update will fix all of the urgent, unexpected bugs that 1.6 caused users such as:
  • Footer display error when no page was selected to hide the Call To Action section on
  • Home slider arrows having the text “left” and “right” in them
  • Home slider arrows displaying incorrectly on retina laptops/desktop displays
  • Options panel PHP error for new users in the exclude Call To Action section
  • Recent posts heading text being too large

Also, The awaited video tutorial has now been released . It completely covers how to use the new features in v1.6 and is available in HD here

Lastly, I want to thank you all for your positive feedback and patience while I took care of these bugs over the course of the day. I hate asking for this, but if you haven’t rated the theme yet please take a moment to. It’s because of your support that I can continue to build this theme up and make wonderful updates and your ratings mean a lot to me! If there’s anything issues you’re having with the theme just raise them to me and I’ll do my best to resolve them asap.

Thanks, and as always, enjoy the theme! :)

Hi ThemeNectar!

First of all greatest update ever! Thank you! I have a small question. I noticed that you changed the footer icons to FontAwesome (I guess)? Is there any way to make the icons graphics again? Would be pretty awesome since I modified the icons and now they look weird because they’re all mixed up. I also noticed that FontAwesome renders the icons not pixel perfect on small sizes. They become all jaggy… :(

Thank you for your answer in advance!

Hey TheChuckOne!

You could essentially grab that section of code from the footer.php file from v1.5 and paste it over the 1.6 version to get the old setup back. (You’d also have to bring back the old icon images in the icon folder)

Hey ThemeNectar! Thank you a lot! It worked :) Cant repeat enough that your support and updating the theme is out of this league here! I cant barely keep up trying out all the new features!

Do you plan by any chance to make the portfolio single pages a full width column thing and without the sidebar? Like you added it the last update?

I think it would great for a bunch of nice things to present in full width especially with the awesome fading in pictures you added in 1.6.1

Anyways, thanks again for the awesomeness that you’re delievering here :)

Thanks a lot TheChuckOne! It makes me happy to read you’re enjoying your experience with Salient and me :)

As for your request, it’s a possibility. I’ve had a couple others request that before so maybe one day it will work its way into a release!

Cheers

how do i intall the update. i am getting this error

Destination folder already exists. D:/Hosting/11335972/html/wp-content/themes/salient/

Theme install failed

Hey leeanddrew!

Firstly, make sure to grab the latest version 1.6.1 which just came out minutes ago – 1.6 had some bugs that might spook you :o

Regarding your issue, when updating you need to delete the old version of the theme on your server before uploading the new.

Why are you such a gangsta? WOW!!!!!!!!! While other authors slowly disappear and stop supporting a theme…. you keep making it the best theme on the planet!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOOOO AWESOME. You have a customer for life! I WILL BUY WHATEVER YOU PUT OUT if it has the quality of this theme. SO amazing!

I wanted to ask, have you tested out WooCommerce with this theme? Does it play well?

Hey CrucialCounty!

I am delighted to have you as a buyer, seriously you rock! I truly appreciate you always coming back here and wiring such great things – reading stuff like this is what makes all the hard work worth it :D

Regarding Woocommerce, I still am completely open to adding support in a future version. In fact is just might be the hottest request at the moment now that I’ve worked in some of the other major ones. As of the themes current state, it probably won’t look great because I literally haven’t done anything to accommodate it yet. If that’s the feature your after just sit tight and hopefully it will make it into the next major release!

You’re the best. Thanks friend!

You’re welcome!

Cheers :)

HI!! is there any chance to change de words of the “view larger” and “more details” in the portfolio??? i want to put them in my language. thanks!!

Hey jugo1986! If you want to change those words, just open up the files they’re found in and modify the strings.

The files those are found in are page-portfolio.php, home-template-x, and nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php

Run a search for “view larger” and you’ll find where they appear in each file :)

thank you so very much!!!

No problem!

Cheers

Hi There, I like this theme a lot, and I’m wondering if it’s possible to change the home slider for another type (like boxed) e.g change it for the Slider Revolution Responsive or for the nivo slider. Tks for you reply

Here’s a ticket where I have detailed instructions http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/50341/search/

I can’t really recommend a premium slider to you as it’s not my place to support one of the other since most are for sale on this marketplace. Sorry!

Hi, Are you sure this is the right ticket (50341)?? I can’t see it. When it go to this address it redirects for the home page.

Hey oneStudio,

sorry about that – the ticket was set to private. It’s public now and you should be able to see it :)

Hi ThemeNectar. Amazing Update!!!! Thank you soooo much, I feel like you did it just for me :) I just have one question though. I am trying to create a modal with your button shortcode. How could I nest your shortcode with another one to create this?

The page doesn’t load it just keeps cycling.

Scratch that its working great! Thankyou sooo much, best theme and dev on themeforest handsdown!!!

Awesome, and thanks a lot freshlesh3! Please don’t forget to rate Salient if you haven’t – I really appreciate it!

Great update but for me the parallax is not working on mobile (iPad or iPhone) and what is more important the slider is not touch sensitive and the navigation poinsts are REALY to small….

Hey erni41!

The parallax gets disabled on mobile because it would look like crap if I left it on. Smartphones are still not truly capable of rendering a parallax smoothly.

The home slider is swipe enabled, the events are just bound to the captions and videos but if you’re not using any of those then you won’t get the touch control. I will probably go back and redo this in a later update it was only made that way so that swiping didn’t interfere with video slides.

I now I have captions right & left on the arrows on the home slider – this happened after I cleared my cache :(

Don’t know what I’m doing wrong but View All Works on Home page stopped working since update ;(

Your link works b1b, check again. I answered you in your ticket why it wasn’t :)

Ignore – managed to sort it – all working. FAB update! :)

The 1.6 demo is not loading or loading correctly…?

Try clearing your browsers cache, milo.

Thanks works.

Hi! Bug report : Unless I’m doing something wrong, you have a bug in 1.5.1. I tried to insert tabbed sections, and to insert a carousel in one on the sections and I found 2 bugs actually : 1. the carousel is not showing. 2. the header takes half of the screen with just the logo and no menu…

Is it possible to have a carousel inside a tabbed section, or is it something that I forgot to do ?

Thanks.

I think you have a little bug in portfolio > portfolio individual item > top right hand corner navigation buttons – the little button in the middle that is supposed to take you back to the main page – I get error 404

Also I tried creating portfolio subpage – just with one category (say Archives) using your new portfolio display setting – again problem with that central navigation button. This time when I viewed an item from the main portfolio page and clicked on button to return to the main page it took me straight to that new subpage (Archives). I made sure I assigned right categories to each page but now everything links back to subpage.

Thanks

hi there,i already updates to the 1.6. but i don’t know how to let my home page like the live demo.. i can’t find out the home-extended setting … can u tell us how to let our blog like urs? Thanks!

Hahhh~Cheers!

i updates to the ver 1.6. And i already cleaned the cache.but the home page slider navigation arrows LEFT AND RIGHT BUTTON always have “left”&”right” text.. the website:guildwars2cn.com.

Just checked your site in all of the supported browsers and I can’t see that text in your buttons.

First off- Great theme! I purchased this for a client and the site is turning out great.

I have a question on the blog layout. Is it possible to purchase or solely utilize the mansory blog layout?

My employer already has a website but they really like this blog layout and would just want to use that function. Is it possible?

Thanks mmeininger!

Right now it wouldn’t really be possible to only purchase the blog layout unfortunately.

Awwww man I thought 1.6 would get WooCommerce…

Sorry to let you down Milo, it still might get added in a future update – Salient is definitely not done expanding :)

Hi Guys,

Is 1.6 ready to download if I purchase now? Really want the new features and am ready to hit the button?

Cheers

Jim

Great news. One purchase coming right up :) Thanks guys…

There’s been 2 minor bugs reported with the update so far just a heads up that 1.6.1 will be released later today.

Cheers

P.S. I’ve also posted the fixes for them here in the meantime so you can fix them before tonight if you please (you’ll see them in the comments)
