Hi, ThemeNectar!

Can you say please did you make the logo yourself or hired another designer?

Kind regards

Yes, I did use Photoshop but I really should’ve used illustrator. I have a thing for geometric design – as you can tell from the salient logo and other sample logos I used in the theme itself :)

I never used a tutorial for getting this look I just played around..so I can’t give you a reference but I’m sure you could find some articles if you search for “geometric logo design” or “origami logo design tutorials”.

Cheers mate

Great, thanks! Really appreciate your answer!

You’re welcome!

Loving it! Quick Q- Is there a contact form plugin for the site?

When you’re configuring your contact form, there’s a box for “Mail” right underneath of the main form creation box. Configure the options in there and you’ll be able to point the form to send to any email address you desire :)

you rock!

hi,

the slider has a somewhat transparent grey background behind the text – is it possible to replicate that effect on the “standard” header images?

thanks!

I’m glad I could help you out sharif!

Cheers :)

hi again, I updated to 1.7 and lost the CSS changes I made. I reapplied them but they no longer seem to work as they did with the previous version. It does change, but the subheader is now white on the grey background, but the header is now grey with no background. Also in Safari, the line break doesn’t work.

This is the code


#page-header-bg h1 {
    font-family: 'OpenSansLight';
    background: none repeat scroll right -53px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
    box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
    color: #FFFFFF;
display: inline;
    font-size: 28px;
    line-height: 54px !important;
    margin-bottom: 15px;
    padding: 4px 0;
    }

#page-header-bg .subheader {
    font-family: 'OpenSansLight';
    background: none repeat scroll right -53px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
    box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
    color: #FFFFFF;
display: inline;
    font-size: 28px;
    line-height: 54px !important;
    margin-bottom: 15px;
    padding: 4px 0;
}

#page-header-bg .subheader:before {
  display: block;
  content: ' ';
   clear: both;
}

Any ideas?

That’s weird, the rules should work the same. Would you be able to supply me with your URL so I can check it out for you?

Thanks!

Hi. I love this theme and it work great!

It might be something really obvious that I’m missing, but I’m having trouble with the team member short code. In the description field, I’d like to write quite a long spiel and need to be able to add paragraphs or it’s too hard to read. When I type it out into paragraphs in the description field it shows up on the page all together without the breaks.

I tried just editing it in the page editor but that cause my paragraphs to be divided up with a horizontal line. I’d just like a normal space between paragraphs. Like I have in this post. I someone could help out that’d be great!

Thankyou

Hey meganemilyemily!

Unfortunately that line is always going to appear when you have spaces because it’s in there as a rule in the theme styling. However, you can get rid of it by pasting this into your custom css box located in the general settings tab in your theme options panel:

body .team-member p.description {
   border-bottom: 0px!important;
}

How about video (youtube, vimeo) support? Is it possible to open video in portfolio page as a lightbox?

Hey k_bednarczyk!

You would have to write the lightbox call in HTML manually in the text tab of your editor – no shortcode for it.

Hi,

Is there any way to order portfolio items?

Thanks

Hey birons!

You can use a plugin like this to do that: http://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/

Cheers

Thanks for the prompt response :)

You’re welcome!

Hey my friend… how can I make sure the blog thumbnails on the home page are always cropped with the same width and height no matter what dimensions the original image are?

Thanks!

Hey CrucialCounty! Open up your functions.php file and add this in:

add_image_size( 'blog-home-page', 300, 250, true );
(the first number is width and the second is height) Then open up your template-home-2.php file and search for this line:
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { echo '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'blog', array('title' => '')) . '</a>'; }

change the “blog” parameter inside that line to your new image size of “blog-home-page”.

Now the only thing left is to reupload any images that are displayed in the recent posts section (the image sizes will be created on upload so existing images won’t have those sizes)

You are the best!!!!!!! Thanks for such a rapid response.

You’re welcome!

My map on the contact page is invisible now. How can I go about trouble shooting it?

http://i.imgur.com/96eHJSy.png

it looks like this

Hey vpmpartners,

Have you recently activated any plugins that could be breaking it? Try deactivating any new ones that might cause the issue. If that doesn’t work, please give me your URL so I can check for errors.

Thanks :)

Hey, I asked this in the support page but I was not clear:

I would like to switch the search icon with an envelope that will link to the contact us page. I do not want to fully remove the magnifying class icon within the them – I just want to switch the magnifying glass with an envelope that is linked to a page. Where do I add the link? How to I switch the icons? BIG THANK YOU!

Hey kiko46,

Assuming you’ve also posted this back in the forum, I will respond there to keep this out of the theme comments :)

Cheers

Hi, When I try the contact_form, I’ve got an error404.. any idea how to fix it ? ?

I don’t think it’s too much to ask for to supply proof of purchase before giving continued support. I would love to simply take your word for it, but since the many people have downloaded the theme illegally from sites like ThemeTrade, I need to make sure the buyers I support have real licenses :)

Yeah I can understand, but you already asks me it, and I post a ticket on themenectar.ticksy with it.. Anyway.

Thanks for the support, and thanks for a such beautiful and responsive theme.

Luky

Glad you understand. I only asked if you had already bought the theme because you didn’t have a purchased tag, I didn’t get your actual purchase code though :)

Also, I was unaware you have posted on the support forum, if I knew I obviously wouldn’t have asked.

Cheers

Hi,

I am trying to create a site wide call to action like the one on the homepage example. I can’t seem to find it in the shortcodes, any chance you can send it over.

Thanks

Adam

Hey Adam!

There’s no shortcode for the call to action bar, however since v1.6 you could not technically create it with the full width section shortcode. However, the right way to set it up would be inside of your theme options panel in the general settings tab. You’ll see configuration settings for it at the bottom :)

How would you realize a slider in the parallax area with your theme like it is shown here: http://www.mezzolab.com/EN/studio???

And how would I create these parallax header with your theme. I noticed I can setup background images as the header like on the about me page of your demo but this one is not parallaxed then.

Any help is appreciated.

Hey Nehalem2009!

1. That would require some custom development.

2. Right now you can only create a parallax section through the full width section shortcode. I will most likely be extending the page header option to allow parallaxing similar to the home slider in the next update though so if the shortcode doesn’t work good enough for you – sit tight :)

I implemented the code and a new problem cropped up.

The website stopped loading in IE.

Don’t know why did that happen but the code has compatibility issues with IE.

Kindly cross check.

Thanks

Hey clicksbazaar123,

I don’t know what code you’re referring to since you’ve started a new comment and I also don’t know your URL. Can you please fill me back in?

Hello, is there a way to get rid of the comment count on the recent posts on the home page?

Cool,

open up template-home-2.php and search for this line of code:
<?php comments_number( __('No Comments',NECTAR_THEME_NAME), __('One Comment',NECTAR_THEME_NAME), '% '. __('Comments',NECTAR_THEME_NAME) ); ?>
(it’s near the bottom of the file)

Delete it completely and the comment count will go away :)

Legend! You are one awesomely patient person :)

:D Thanks pure

Hi ThemeNectar

Quick question about updating the theme to the latest version: Whats the best way to update the theme? If I use an FTP to delete the old theme and upload the latest theme will I lose any custom CSS, and theme settings I set to the old theme?

Any information on what I will lose when updating would be greatly appreaciated, many thanks! Absolutely love the theme. Cheers, Pete.

Yes, you can insert a “more” tag anywhere in your post which will create the read more button at that location on your blog page. Please see this ticket for further clarification: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/67451/search/

Cheers!

Thank you so much. :)

You’re welcome!

Hey i have a problem,

When i add a new portfolio item and assign it to a category and attribute, or just leave it blank.

When i go on the page and click more details, it comes up with a 404 page! please help

Hey rhysdavies94!

Try resaving your permalinks by going to Settings > Permalinks and clicking “Save Changes” :)

Yeah that worked! thanks nice theme btw

Good to hear :)

Cheers!

Hello,

- do you know why there’s a bug at the bottom when you scroll down closed “Call to Action Text” http://gem-toulouse.com/newsite/ (you can see image in the background). And I have an error footer inside page (cf bottom) http://gem-toulouse.com/newsite/?page_id=31

- Bold is not strong enough http://gem-toulouse.com/newsite/?page_id=35 – Text is just black and not really bold. Do you know how can I do?

Thanks you

Yes, the current version is actually 1.6.2. As long as you haven’t modified the core files, upgrading is very easy. If you have altered the core files upgrading will have to be a manual process, but I’ve posted the line differences in the changelog to make it easier on you :)

But is it free? Where can I download it?

Yes, you have free updates for life. You can download the latest version by redownloading the theme right here on ThemeForest :)

Hey Phil!

My website is coming along together pretty nice. I just have two things I want done that would make it look good!

1. I want my home page like this. Header at top and the blog w/ sidebar below like this. – http://i.imgur.com/4QocV05.png

How can this be done?

2. How do I change the colour of this bar and have text in the right and plus add Copyright infront of the Copyright Symbol and change the colour of the copyright text? :Dhttp://i.imgur.com/PCSVmp7.png

That seems to be all man, Thanks!

- Gareth.

Gareth,

1. Add this also,
#footer-outer #footer-widgets {
  border-bottom: 0px!important;
}

2. You would have to alter the icon file because the white background on hover is from an image. See img/icons/slider-arrows.png

3.

#featured article .post-title a:hover {
   background-color: #000!important;
}

4.

body #featured article .post-title h2 span {
   box-shadow: none!important;
   background-color: transparent!important;
   color: #000!important;
} 

5. You need to wrap them in an html link in the text tab on your editor. e.g.

<a href="http://themenectar.com">[icon size="large" image="icon-tablet"]</a>

I ask that going forward you post series of questions like this in the support forum because I’m really not supposed to answer things like this here.

Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for all the support. I seem to be very happy with the changes made. I couldn’t have done it without you! I never knew much about the support form! If you send me a URL, If I need support again, I will use it instead of this!

Thanks so much, Phil! Your the man! :)

- Gareth Bolton.

No problem Gareth! Here’s the support forum for your future questions: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Cheers!

Just bought the theme and I love it! Quick question…. i followed your video for how to set up the dummy account, and everything is working except, after saving, it still isn’t reading the home page as home. it just shows the menu with the footer. if i click home basic or extended on the menu, it goes to the home correctly, but when typing in the homepage url it doesnt work. caches have been cleared on WP and browser. Any suggestions?? :) Thanks so much! www.artistsolutions.la

Hey okaytony, thanks for purchasing the theme!

Have you set one of the pages “Home – Basic” or “Home – Extended” as the front page? If you just set the top level home page as the front it will be blank because that is a blank page just used for the navigation item. I’m going to update the dummy data for the next release to get rid of that page because I can see how it would confuse people.

I had it on Home – Basic. I switched the Home Basic parent to Home, and made the Home Extended no parent. That seemed to make it work.

Glad you’ve sorted it :)

I get exhausted trying to login into your forum. Please make your style sheets compliant. I can login in FF but I cannot post. I used to be able to login via Chrome and now the style sheet is completely wacked out. And, IE is completely out of the question.

Anyway, my issue is your user manual says there is a supplied shortcode for testimonials. I created a page for that and there is no such thing.

Hello vegasphotog,

I’m sorry to hear you’ve had trouble logging into the support forum. However, the support forum is managed by Ticksy, I have no direct control over the underlying code anymore than I do ThemeForest. I have served hundreds on tickets in the past few months without complaints about anything you’re mentioning, so I’m not sure what would be causing your problem with it.

There is a shortcode in the shortcode generator for testimonials, if you don’t have it then you must be on an older version of the theme. The changelog is a great reference if you’re ever wondering what features are contained in specific versions. There’s also a video tutorial documenting the latest features of the theme too :)

Thank you for your quick reply…..yes, it seems I needed to update the theme to get the shortcode….I am igno to how shortcodes are coded…..any idea where I can edit the css for this? In IE, the text is center-aligned (bad) but in FF it is ok. But, I also, need some space under the slide icon as in FF it there is no space. Also, I would like to add a min-height to this short code since I am using it as a standalone component on a page. Thanks for your help.

No problem,

The css pertaining to that shortcode can be found inside of the style.css file. Just run a search for “Testimonial Slider” to end up at the relevant section :)
