Hi, ThemeNectar!
Can you say please did you make the logo yourself or hired another designer?
Kind regards
Hey Pixelous!
I made the logo myself 
Thanks for the reply!
In Photoshop right? Can you give me some tips please how to make such effects in your logo?
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?
Thanks okaytony!
The theme has styles/support for the plugin “Contact Form 7”. The demo uses that for the contact form as well 
wonderous thanks!
so sorry…. one more thing….. how do i make the send/submit go to a certain email? stupid question? beyond the short code, i just dont know where to go from there 
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!
Cheers
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!
Hey sharif,
yes the look could be replicated but you would need to copy over a bunch of rules from the slider caption and apply them to them page heading. Are you comfortable with css? All these styles can be found in the style.css file.
Thank you. It would be terrific if you could be a bit more specific. Much appreciated!
These are all the rules applied to to create the transparent background on the home slider:
#featured article .post-title h2 span {
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: none;
font-size: 32px;
line-height: 54px !important;
margin-bottom: 15px;
margin-top: 20px;
padding: 4px 0;
}
You will need to take them and apply them to:
#page-header-bg h1, #page-header-bg .subheader
#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: block;
font-size: 28px;
line-height: 54px !important;
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: block;
font-size: 28px;
line-height: 54px !important;
margin-bottom: 15px;
padding: 4px 0;
}
And this is pretty close, but the grey background now goes way beyond the characters whereas in the slider it matched the character count. Is there a way to control that with CSS?
Thanks a lot!!
Yes, just add the property
display: inline;
to them 
(You'll also probably have to clear between them to get them to display on separate lines.)
the inline worked! ? But as you expected, now they appear on the same line! How do I clear between them? Thanks a lot for your support!
add this too 
#page-header-bg .subheader:before {
display: block;
content: ' ';
clear: both;
}
PERFECT. Much appreciated!!
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.pngit 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 ? ?
Lukyvj,
do you mean when you place the contactform 7 shortcode or when you assign the page layout? Neither should be capable of giving you a 404. Attempt to resave your permalinks by going to Settings > Permalinks and clicking Save Changes. Can you please supply me a your URL so I can take a look if that fails?
Thanks
Oops my bad. I simply copy/past the html of your demo theme page, so the form action was pointing on your demo page URL.
But I don’t know where my action=”” should be done ? And I can’t share the url here, Its for a customer of my agency, so the stuff have to stay private :/ And here, it will be viewable by anyone.
Sorry for inconvenience.
You can’t use the HTML from the demo, that HTML is generated by the contact 7 plugin. You need to install that plugin and use the shortcode it gives you. Can you please get the purchase code from your client so I can verify the purchase?
Thanks
Thanks I’ve fixed it.
Can’t you just trust us ? Its a bit frustrating to be honnest…
5e49ca9f-e288-46a1-b196-e843a692741d
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?
Hey purebliss!
You would have to delete the piece of code that displays that inside of the files. Are you using the home template to show the recent posts or the shortcode? I need to know which one to tell you exactly where to remove the line from 
Yea that would be awesome! I’m using the homepage template with recent posts. Thanks!
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 
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.
Hey petefinlan!
FTP is the best way, you were correct 
You won’t lose any of your information or settings when you do it that way so don’t worry! It’s all stored in the database rather than the theme itself.
Thats great, yeah I actually just did this this morning and it all worked perfectly, thanks so much. Just one more quickie – How do you get your blog posts to display condensed and then have a “read more” button like on the Demo? My posts are just being posted as the whole article on my blog page, I’d really like them condensed and then show a “read more” button at the bottom that directs to the full post. Any ideas? Thanks so much <3
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
Hey wincher!
1. What version of the theme are you using? That bug you’re seeing was fixed in 1.6.1
2. You can alter the font weight by using css. Add this into your custom css box:
body strong, body b {
font-weight: bold!important;
}
- 1.6. I can upgrade it or not?
- ok thanks
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?
– http://i.imgur.com/PCSVmp7.png
That seems to be all man, Thanks!
- Gareth.
1. This would actually require some development. Would need to query for the blog section in the home template code itself.
2. To change the color of the bar and the text use this css snippet:
#footer-outer #copyright {
background-color: #fff!important;
color: #000!important;
}
You can add your copyright text inside the options panel in the footer options tab. Regarding adding text to the right side – that’s normally where the social icons display. You would need to open the footer.php file, delete the social code and place your text in its place 
Cheers
Thanks for the reply.
When you mean by “his would actually require some development. Would need to query for the blog section in the home template code itself.” What exactly do you mean, sorry? Can this be done or what?
P.S, I Did your code, But there seems to be a thin black line above my copyright text. Can this be removed please?
Thanks.
P.S, Is there any way I can change the colour of text and the text of URL box in the Header? Thanks
Gareth,
1. It could only be done by a person who is comfortable with PHP/WordPress. It’s a bit too many steps for me to write up here though.
2. You can remove the thin border with this:
#footer-outer #copyright {
border-top: 0px!important;
}
3. Are you talking about the slider text/button or a page header?
Phil,
I just want to say, Thank – you for all the help recently. You don’t know how much this means for me.
1. I’m pretty good with PHP/Wordpress and if you ever want to email me the steps about going to accomplish this task, You can always email me the steps anytime. – gareth@garethbolton.com
2. For some strange reason, The thin border line is still appearing even when I paste in the provided code you sent to me?
3. Yes, i’m just talking about the slider text and button. How can I change the colour of the slider text and button?
Thanks,
Gareth.
P.S, How do I edit these Icons inside the circle border and make the circles clickable to send to a URL?
Thanks – http://i.imgur.com/4zhtqQX.png
You’re very welcome Gareth!
2. Did you paste that code into the Custom CSS Box? It should work..Can I see your URL so check if the css is getting applied correctly?
3. Here’s a ticket for the button color: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/56390/search/
And the caption: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/54783/search/
4. Just wrap a standard html link around the icon shortcode in your text tab on the editor. e.g.
<a href="http://yourlink.com">[icon size="large" image="icon-tablet"]</a>
Hello,
Sure! You can see the website I’m currently working on. The URL is – http://www.garethbolton.com – It’s down in the footer area. Let me know what to fix to get rid of the Black thin border.
(I’m still working on the site, So it’s a bit of a mess at the minute!)
Hey Phil!
1. The URL is http://www.garethbolton.com – Just scroll down to the bottom and you can see the line.
2. My slider buttons, They are black but when you hover over them to go to another slide, they turn white.
What I want is, The buttons to be #3e3e3e and when you hover over them they turn to #000000 – How can this be done?
3. I want the button inside the slider to be the same as the slider outside buttons. Like the inside be #3e3e3e and when you hover over them they turn to #000000 – How can this be done for the buttons inside the slider. Currently they are at #3e3e3e but when you hover over them, The #000000 only hovers over the outline. I want the #000000 to hover over the whole button.
4. I, also want the text inside the slider to be Black with no box or shadow outside it. I tried your support thread but It doesn’t work. Can you code me something that just makes the text Black with no shadow or box?
5. I tried your HTML link for the icons under the slider. I have found the ICONS I want, But when I try to add the HTML, It doesn’t work. Any Ideas on how to make the ICONS link to a URL?
Your the best person ever, Phil. Your like a lifesaver for me. Thanks for all the support, And If I get everything done that I want done that I have asked for you now, I don’t believe I will need much support after that for a while!!
Thanks so much,
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
