Thanx so much for salient! Great Theme! But I still didn’t find out how to come from the single Portfolio site to all portfolio posts. The Button on the right site klicked – generate a 404 error. Maybe it is already posted here, but I didn’t find that. Pls kindly – help me with that. http://www.orangeundpink.de/orange_und_pink_projekte/der-lowe-und-die-schone-tanzerin/#

Strange, the page has to be somewhere since the portfolio layout is still actively being pulled from it. What version of the theme are you using? If you’re on 1.6+ there’s also an option in the “Portfolio Options” tab to enter in the URL of your portfolio. The option is at the bottom called “Main Portfolio Page URL”. You can simply enter the correctly spelled URL in there and the link will also work.

Yeahhhh! Thank you soooooo much!!!!

You’re very welcome!

Cheers :)

Hi, is it you send DMCA to Fuel Themes in regards to their Bouncy theme?

Hey Pixelous,

I never sent a DMCA regarding the theme, no. Their theme was removed by ThemeForest simply because the design was too similar and it was later found that they had used pieces of my code as well.

Hi,

I am seeing a bug where on the action button for the slider (on the home page) is showing up hollow and therefore very hard to see (it looks like a hollow rectangle that is white, with white text – when shown on a light image it is nearly impossible to see – and the green color used for other action buttons is not shown there). This bug is happening in Chrome and Safari on the Mac. Can you advise on how to fix this?

Thanks

Hey appm_envaaccnt,

That’s not a bug, that’s the style of the button used for the home slider which is different than the regular button style you insert with shortcodes. As you should have seen on the demo, all slides use that button style. By default it requires you to put a little thought into your images to make sure it will sit over a non-white section of them. If you are unable to make your images accommodate, you can use a custom css snippet to add a background color to increase visibility.

Please see this ticket in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/56390/search/

Cheers

Thanks, that works! It might be good to include items like this in the manual, perhaps in a customization section.

You’re welcome!

In a future release I’m probably just going to make it an option in the slide settings to choose between hollow and filled :)

Cheers

Hi! Great theme!. I have some questions:
1. Is it possible to use another icon fonts like fontello? I’ve noticed that all the icons from font awesome are shown as rectangles on opera mobile.
2. Is it possible to change the scrollbar style just like browers display by default?
3. And finally, the description says that the theme is ready for SEO but if I try to look for Salient theme on google, the demo site doesn’t appear :(, do you think using a plugin like seo by yoast we could get better results?

Thanks in advice

Hey CookieMonsterMX!

1. You would have include them yourself and reference them manually as needed.

2. Yes, you can disable the custom scrollbar with one click in the options panel :)

3. I have “Search Engine Visibility” off in the WordPress settings because there’s no need for it to be in Google – all of my traffic comes direct from here and other sites who feature me. For me being in google just means more bots to watch out with spam and attacks. The theme is SEO ready and in combination with yoast, there’s practically nothing else that could be done to improve it.

Cheers

I would like to know how to use the default lightboxes of the theme.

Also I want to enablescrollbar on some of the lighiboxes, the size of the image to be opened is over 2000px. How can I enable horizontal , vertical and both the scroll bars in the lightbox. And keeping it responsive at the same time.

I tried the external wordpress plugin, Lightbox Plus but it does not have scrollbars in the light box.

Kindly reply at the earliest.

Thanks

You would have to turn to external plugins or possibly custom development to achieve that functionality as it’s just not there in the theme by default.

Can you suggest any good plugin for it.

I tried lightbox plus, but even it didn’t do the needful.

I actually don’t know of a plugin to do what you need, I would have to do the same research as you to find one.

Hey,

This is a really great theme. I was just wondering if this theme is Search Engine Optimized?

Hey PixelConcepts!

Yes, the theme comes SEO optimized to the point where you could get away without using any additional plugins if you didn’t want to. This is because of the clean semantic code & correct title tags automatically generated etc..

However, using a plugin like Yoast or All in one SEO will give you a great setup where not much else could possibly be done to optimize further.

Cheers

Alright, cool

Hi,my blog has a lot of blog category,the home page i choose the recent posts template,how can I get to display only the posts I need category to the home page? Thanks`

Hey csmsc!

As of now the recent posts shortcode/template can only display recent posts from all of your categories – adding in functionality to query from specific categories will mostly get added down the road though :)

This theme is by far one of the best I’ve ever purchased!

Thanks Acid!

It looks like the page you’ve linked me works pretty well except for one broken fullwidth section at the bottom near the testimonial slider. Are you seeing other issues than that?

Moving over to the support page :)

Sounds good, thanks :)

Hey Theme,

It looks like the YouTube embeds have disappeared or not working since the update. Is there something I need to do?

Thanks!

I can actually see the Youtube embeds in both of those locations in FireFox & Chrome

Something’s up with my computer I guess. Thanks!

No problem!

Hello,

When I use the icons, they are not displayed. There has circle but not the symbol …

You can see the construction site on http://briefcreatif.fr/wordpress/525-2/.

The buttons do not work either.

Thank you in advance

Check out this tutorial video and skip to 3:40.

it works great!

I leave you quiet … ^^

And do not forget my post in the support ;)

goodbye

I already responded to it :)

Cheers

SORRY ! mishandling !!!

hi there, I noticed that my google analytics number shows up the the very bottom of the theme :-(

I don’t know if this is happening since the most recent update, I just had not noticed that before. Would you have any advice on that?

Thx, H.

Hey hendrixter, you need to paste the actual script from google into that box, not just your account id number. All that box does is paste whatever you put into it at the footer location so make sure you’re putting the whole script.

what is inappropriate about my comment?

I didnt flag your comment..dont know why my response is also flagged but I did answer your question. Im also on a phone at the moment so answering is extra hard.

Hi,

Love the theme, just having a few small issues with it. I have a testimony silder inside a full width section, with another full width section below it with my client slider in it. I want both full width sections to be flush with each other ( like in your “home extended” demo page). Whenever I update the home page with new text, the testimony section gets cut off by the full width section below it. I’ve added a couple ‘& nbsp;’ between the two sections which seemed to bring the testimony slider up again but I feel there’s a better way of fixing it, also the two sections aren’t flush when viewed on mobile or tablet. Any suggestions?

Looks like there’s an extra div that’s wrapping your full width clients section that’s most likely breaking the layout. If you switch over to the text tab you should be able to see it and delete it. If you want I could also login and assist you with it real quick, just let me know :)

Thanks for the advice, made the changes and it looks good:) we noticed that the home slider isn’t working in IE10 or IE11, will there be an update soon?

Hey Marteaga,

I’ve tested the site in IE10 in windows 7 and windows 8 and it works as expected..What are you using? Also, IE11 is only available as a preview at this time so I don’t have it, but I can’t see why it would fail.

is this theme compatible with woocommerce?

Hey iCode4u!

There is no base support for it yet, but it’s on my to-do list :)

Does normal page other than homepage contain slider header?

Hey futureguitar!

Right now you can only use the home slider on the home page or any one page of your choosing, but you can’t plop it on multiple pages right now.

Thanks, I can see that you will add this feature in future. By the way, can the “Recent post/portfolio” show a specific category’s recent posts/portfolios?

You’re welcome :)

1. I might extend the functionality of the slider to be used in multiple areas, but no plans are set in stone yet.

2. Right now they will just pull from all, no category assignment yet either.

Is there a painless way for me to update the included Font Awesome icon set to the very latest version (Source: http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/ ) so that I can take advantage of the latest offerings?

Thanks!

Thank you for the suggestions n2RPG,

As you can imagine, there are always more features that could be added – an almost never ending number, as some authors have proven by sticking to only one or a few themes and pushing new features out for over a year straight.

I am still going forward with Salient, so features like you have mentioned might get added in down the road :)

Cheers

Cool, good luck & best wishes.

Thank you very much!

Hi. Interested in purchasing this theme but have a question first of all.

I am new to this whole Wordpress thing and though I love the general design and functionality of this theme there is one feature I would like to change, the gallery.

I currently have my own photography website which I desperately need to update but one of the features I do want to keep is the display of thumbnail images of an album adjacent to the main image/s on display, something like this on my current website: http://captureimagery.co.uk/fashion-photography-gallery.php

My question is would this be simple enough to do? Could I combine something like this theme: http://codecanyon.net/item/thumbnail-gallery-wordpress-plugin/294024?ref=DOTonPAPER to accomplish something similar?

Hey Azzmeister!

As you already know, there’s nothing like that currently in the theme so resorting to a plugin (like you’ve found) would be your best bet. The only thing you must take into consideration is your own ability to implement plugins and change/add the necessary css if any needs to be altered. If you’re not comfortable do so then I would recommend you contract a developer for an hour or two to get everything ironed out to your liking :)

Cheers

Ok thanks for your help and quick response.

You’re welcome!

I’m having trouble activating the masonary style blog (featured here: http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-portfolio-blog-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266) on my website. Could you give me some kind of tutorial to install this please?

Are you using at least version 1.5.1 of the theme? That’s when the feature was added :)

Ahhhh no!! Thank you! :D

You’re welcome!

What is the full width size of contents area ? I’m going to set the largest width for my photo.

The largest the content area will be is 1100px :)

Cheers
