Hey Joe!

It wasn’t because of your css changes to the tabbed element, it’s because of the people slider you have on the top. If you scroll the window all the way to the right near that section you’ll see it scrolls just as far as that slider goes.

To fix it you should add this rule to your style:

html {
  overflow-x: hidden!important;
}

Ok great- where exactly do I add this? I tried putting it in the style.css and had no luck.

Best,

Joe

Hey Viv!

1. Add this into your Custom CSS Box in your theme options panel:

#featured article .post-title a {
    color: #27ccc0!important;
    border-color: #27ccc0!important;
}

2. Here’s another snippet to change the main BG color:

body, .home-wrap {
  background-color:#fff!important;
}

Hi there! Thanks for your fast reply. #1 worked except now the button is not responsive (in the demo it changes color slightly when you hover with the mouse).

2 didn’t change anything, I still have white text surrounded by a grey box . . . any other ideas? It’s not a huge problem but I’d really like it to be just plain black text (no box) if possible.

Thanks!!

Viv

Viv,

if you would like to still have a hover effect, you’d have to now add that in as well and define what to change the color to. e.g.

#featured article .post-title a {
    color: #27ccc0;
    border-color: #27ccc0;
}

#featured article .post-title a:hover {
    border-color: #fa5456!important;
}

Hi! Thanks, that works great for the link! Only problem is the other part doesn’t work: this code doesn’t seem to change anything I’ve played with different colors and don’t notice a difference):

body, .home-wrap { background-color:#fff!important }

I’d like to have the main text plain black with no surrounding grey box (or a white box that blends with my white ground image). Is that possible?

Thanks SO much!!

Viv

Wow – I just realized that that code DOES change the background of the whole home page (I was just looking at the slider). Hmm do you have a different code just for the grey box around the slider text (eg. in the demo, the slider text says “welcome to Salient, a beautiful & robust wordpress theme”). Thanks!

Hey JamesNikko!

1a. The demo has two portfolio pages (gallery and extended) which show more than one image on the project page:

http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio/old-tv/ http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio/blackbox/

1b. The thumbnails can only have one image for now, i.e. the featured image.

2. The theme includes a .po file which has all of the strings throughout the theme ready to change. You can use a program like po edit or a plugin like this to translate those strings into whatever language you need them in.

Cheers!

Hey ketterj, thanks for purchasing the theme!

1. Your sidebar should not disappear when using two featured images. I’m a bit confused by what exactly you mean with that – could you supply me with a URL example?

2. I’m assuming you mean the extra content editor rather than “extra comments” correct? If so, I will note that right now to investigate/fix

3. If I’m not mistaken, IE always does that and I know it’s really annoying. Other browsers like FireFox/Chrome/Safari will insert the shortcode wherever your mouse is so it’s recommended to use one of those when editing your site.

Cheers!

Thanks for the reply. 1. http://www.affgroup.net.au:8080/portfolio/smooth-grease-co – This has only 1 image, note the sidebar stays in view. Now look at http://www.affgroup.net.au:8080/portfolio/mesu-oil-recyclers and this has “second image” and “third image” specified in the post (done by using the right hand side options on the post screen, not by gallery etc.

2. Yes sorry Extra Content area. For me it doesn’t do paragraphs on line carriage return etc.

3. Ok thank you

You’re welcome!

Regarding your first query again, I checked both links in FF, Chrome and IE and can’t see the sidebar getting hidden in that second link with the gallery from featured images. Are you also unable to see the sidebar in the live demo’s gallery post? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio/old-tv/

On your demo site the sidebar is disappearing as I scroll down… the side bar is not remaining in view. I have IE10 on Win8 (desktop mode)

I’ve checked on windows 7 IE8,9,10 so I guess it must be a windows 8 specific thing? I’ll test on that setup later tonight and report back if I have the same phenomenon occurring.

Hey FernandaSampaio,

I didn’t touch the blog files in the last update, and as you’ve seen – they remain in tact in the demo.

Please supply me with your URL and it would actually be best if you could open a private ticket on the support forum with your credentials so I can login and see what’s going on with your setup.

Thanks!

sorry! just figured out it was a conflict of the update with a plugin. Investigating it now. Thanks for the quick response!

Hey B!

Yes, that’s because the small icons are never effected by the accent color so they wouldn’t be effected by the alternative accent colors either.

edit – I thought you meant the “tiny” ones, if it’s not working on the small ones than that’s a bug that I’ll patch

yes, small not tiny

Already created a fix, if you want it early just open a ticket on the support forum and I’ll post what to change.

Cheers!

Hey emily!

1. It looks like your sortable dropdown contains many, many nested ul’s. Did you make almost every category a child of something? Whatever the reason, that’s the cause of the stuttering.

2. The only way around that is to have a footer that sticks to the bottom when the page content is too small to fill the window. I might implement something like this in a later update, but for now here’s something to get you in the right direction – http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/

thanks for the quick response…

1) that makes sense. i did make each category a child so that i could order them in a specific way. is there a better way to do that so that i dont get that stutter?

2) i appreciate the nudge in the right direction with the footer. i’m not quite sure where to place that code but i’ll keep plugging away.

thanks again, emily

You’re welcome

1. The categories will display in the order you create them in the back.

2. Sounds good!

.

hey again,

ive been trying to reorganize those categories so they order in the way i create them, however, they’re appearing alphabetically no matter how i put them in.

i did reduce the number of nested categories, but its still stuttering. i’m just curious to know if im missing something.

thanks, emily

Hey,

1. Yeah actually I forgot that by default it will get sorted alphabetically. To change that open up your functions.php file and locate the “nectar_page_header” function. Just run a search for it and you’ll find it inside that section locate the call to the list categories function:

<?php wp_list_categories(array('title_li' => '', 'taxonomy' => 'project-type', 'show_option_none'   => '', 'walker' => new Walker_Portfolio_Filter())); ?>

Change that to this:

<?php wp_list_categories(array('orderby'  => 'ID', 'title_li' => '', 'taxonomy' => 'project-type', 'show_option_none'   => '', 'walker' => new Walker_Portfolio_Filter())); ?>

I’ve added in that array an option for “orderby” and set it to ID. WordPress has the following options it will accept for that so feel free to play around with them:

• ID
• name
• slug
• count
• term_group

2. You should remove all the nested categories, if there’s more than one ul in the dropdown if will have a jitter like you’ve noticed.

wow, thanks for all this. i replaced the old function with the new one but im not sure where to look so that i can play around with the ordering. nothing has changed in the portfolio project categories section. should i be looking somewhere else?

Inside of that nectar_page_header function that I led you to, there are actually two instances of wp_list_categories. One for the when a page header is used without a background image and one for when there is. Make sure you update that function in both places

you’re right. i missed the second instance which i’ve now changed. the thing is, im still not seeing anything different in the portfolio project categories section. is that where i should be able to reorder these categories?

again, thanks so much!
