Hey,

Thanks for fixing the icon problem in the sidebar :)

Will you be updating the changelog for the 1.7 update shortly? Curious to see other changes.

Thanks again!

You’re welcome!

Yes, I will post the changelog tonight :)

Hey

So here are some of the problems I encountered:

The woocommerce layout is not completely responsive to mobile devices. Also, if the header is chosen with secondary navigation (out of alignment)

For woocommerce: The drop down selections are layered on top of each other slightly if more than 1 attributes/variations are chosen

The drop down selections are cut off at the top slightly anywhere on the site. (not the navigation drop down)

Is it possible to have rollover image from the feature image?

Thanks again

forgot to mention is it possible to add the sidebar layout to the shop page to filter the categories/sale items, sizes etc? I tried to activate it but it’s not showing.

Thanks

Hey neibohood,

1. I’m already in the process of ironing out the responsive cart layout in woocommerce.

2. I don’t know what you mean by the header is out of alignment when using the secondary nav option, can you supply a link or screenshot?

3. I’ll patch that as well:)

4. No rollover is possible at the moment.

5. I’ll try to add a sidebar layout into the next update for WooCommerce :)

Hi! Thanks for nice template…. I can’t enable Home page slider on my wordpress 3.5 platform. Please can you describe me how can i do it? Thanks!

Hey moshindesign!

All you need to do is assign a home template to your page in the “Page Attributes” box, and then set that page to display as your front page in Settings > Reading :)

Hi,

Is it possible to set a sticky sidebar to pages or posts? The demo only shows this possible on Extended Portfolio items but it would be nice to have this option for other sections as well.

Thanks. Oliver

Yeah, I haven’t had a chance to update the site as much as I would have hoped because all of my time is being consumed maintaining and updating the theme + giving support!

I actually can’t accept freelance gigs because of that, but if you want to find out more info on me feel free to email me at themenectar@gmail.com

Cheers!

Awesome, thanks!

You’re welcome :)

hello, i am can’t using Nectar Shortcodes in my post and portofolio

you see : http://zafizack.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/nectar.jpg

Hey zafizack!

Open up a private support ticket with your login credentials so I can get in there and see what’s causing your error for you :)

Cheers

tanks. :)

You’re welcome!

Hi, great Theme! I have a few questions before purchasing: 1. Are the name, date and heart infos and the comments below the images in the portfolio and elsewhere hidable? 2. Can I link a portfolio image with a gallery, like Portfolio>Images>Image A,B, and C? (like 3 levels) 3. Can I create big portfolios and galleries, like 200 images? 4. Can I change the horizontal blurry image-stripe in the portfolio 4 col. section into a sharp Image? Thanks!

Thanks a lot tobi_free!

1. You can hide them from simply removing them from the code.

2/3. You would need an additional plugin for such galleries.

4. Of course, you can place whatever images you want in the headers – the demo just uses blurry images as an example :)

Pls improve the “Search” function.
I just find that search result come without any feature image, it is text only. Even the woocommerce product show without any photo, this make the search useless for product.

How can i make the search result like other theme, with normal display instead of text only ?

Normal: Photo plus article This is a serious problem, hope you can fix it in next version.

Hey sai2!

You know I’m always open to adding functionality and features to theme – thanks for the suggestion, I will seriously consider getting it in the next release :)

Cheers

2 quick questions..

I want to remove the PORTFOLIO text at the portfolio page, but not the filter.. found a ticket but: body.page-template-page-portfolio-php .page-header-no-bg { display: none!important; }

This works for both, I only want the text gone. And where can I change the text? If I dont want it to be gone?

And quick little other question, how do I remove the ‘watch video’ on my portfolio items, and only leave the more info button over there?

Sorry for the trouble, just looked into all the tickets but couldnt find the answers!

Cheers.

You mean the heading I just gave you a snippet to hide? You can edit that right in your “Page Header Settings” box at the bottom of page when editing your portfolio page the same way as you configure headings on any other page.

Okay, I’m blind :D found it, best service ever :)

Haha, thank you very much!

Hi there,

I just purchased the theme. Just a question about installing it: It seems Wordpress doesn’t allow the upload of custom theme from the wordpress panel.

As I don’t have FTP access, since my blog is hosted on wordpress, is there a way to install the theme I just purchased?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey fbeauverd!

You need to be hosting WordPress on your own install, when using a wordpress.com blog you are limited to their selection of themes and can not install any premium ones or additional plugins. If you’re new to WordPress here’s a good read comparing the differences between the two: http://diythemes.com/thesis/rtfm/differences-wordpress-com-org/

Hi, Pre purchase question: Can this theme have multiple background sections on home page and support full responsive view in mobile/tablet?

Site to refer to: http://one.tess.pw

Thanks.

Hey again cloud55,

Salient does allow you to place fullwidth parallax sections where you want just like that. You can see examples of them throughout the site on various pages. For example, the extended homepage example the about us page, the elements page etc.

Thank you. I have purchased it and I am happy with the full responsive effect.

Great to hear!

Also this might be a possible bug? Reporting it in case..

1. Go to your portfolio page. Sort by a category which has a small amount of items (e.g. 1 or 2, so that the end of the footer is visible and the window scrollbar at the right side of the page disappears).

2. Sort by “all” again so that there are a lot more items and you can’t see footer anymore. The window scrollbar is still not visible, so you can’t scroll down, even with mouse wheel.

Hey CamilleH!

This is an unfortunate bug when using the styled scrollbar. If your setup allows for this to happen, you can always deactivate the styled scrollbar in your theme options panel to get rid of it.

Cheers

Hi there,

Thanks for the amazing theme, really liking it so far.

I have a few questions, if you could answer that would be much appreciated (please see this screenshot for reference: http://camillehein.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/salient-issues.png ).

1. My logo appears to be slightly blurry, as if it is rendering slightly larger than its actual dimensions. Can I change this? Also, the area to click on the logo (to take you to home page) doesn’t cover the entire logo, only about half of it is actually clickable.

2. The footer text appears to be using a default copyright text from elsewhere (this may be a WordPress setting but I can’t remember where to change it). Adding a Salient footer text adds onto the end of this rather than replacing it. Do you know where I can get rid of this default footer text?

3. My home page is set to the “Home – Slider Only” template. I noticed there is a white bar between the slider and the footer, do you know how to get rid of this?

4. Is there a way to make the footer “stick to the bottom of the page” on shorter pages, and have any gaps in between set to some background colour (i.e. black preferably)?

5. How can I get rid of the love heart symbol that is shown next to portfolio items (on portfolio page as well as the single pages)?

6. On the portfolio pages, I want them to be able to click on the item’s title to go to the “more details” page. Which code should I change to achieve this?

7. If I click on the icon to share to Facebook in the more details page of a portfolio item, the link it is sharing is my main portfolio URL not the link to the item itself, is this a setting I have mistakenly done somewhere?

Thanks a lot

Hey Camille!

I’m glad you’ve sorted 1 & 3 :)

2. The footer copyright will always insert the current year and you site name by default because it’s assumed those are two things every site would want. The text input field will insert everything after that if you want to write additional information about your copyright etc..If you’d rather remove the first segment you can delete it from the footer.php file, it’s near the end of it :)

4. This is something that might get added in as a safety net in a later release but for now if you’re daring enough to add this functionality yourself there’s a bunch of tutorials and resources on the web to help out. Here’s one – http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/

5. Add this to your custom css box:
.nectar-love-wrap {
  display: none!important;
}

6. You’ll have to wrap it in a link the same as the image is; you can find the relevant code inside of the page-portfolio.php file :)

7. That shouldn’t be happening – no additional setup is required. Can I see your URL to check out why that may be happening?

Cheers

Great thanks for your help, got what I needed. The social media links appear to be working, I actually tested it this time, was probably looking at the wrong link before.

Cheers :)

Great to hear Camille!

You’re welcome :)

Hi there,

I am looking forward to purchasing this theme especially since it has woocommerce functionality. I have tested the theme on iPhone and the responsiveness of the shopping cart and checkout areas are all out of alignment etc. Maybe you can check it out and give it a fix. Just something I thought I should bring to your attention. Thanks!

Ok great! I think a feature that would make this theme one of the most complete themes ever on themeforest is the ability to add an audio player to the product list page for products. This way the user wouldn’t have to actually click on the product to go into description to preview the audio file. This would open up another door of customers like myself who are music producers wanting to use woocommerce as their eccommerce solution. An example would be here http://www.openmindsentertainment.com

I purchased your theme. Thanks!

Great to hear zaggadon!

Thank you for the suggestion, I will see what I can do about it!

Hi, after updating to v1.7, the body background color changed to the default color. Is there a bug? Which value should I edit to change the background color again? Editing the typical body [ background-color ] value doesn’t do anything.

Thank you!

Thank you for your quick response! Really appreciate it!

Can I please make a request? Can you add a set of social icons with a white background for posts, products, footer etc.? Please!!

You’re welcome!

All of the social icons used in the footer are actually also available through the shortcode generator in the icon shortcode. You can place them wherever you want!

Hello, How can I add image with parallax and text scroll like in this example? Feautures -> Elements. Stunning Headers On any page you feel like.

http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-portfolio-blog-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266

Hey masterwilu,

If you’re on v1.7, simply check the box that says “Parallax Header” in your Page Header Settings

Thanks! ;)

You’re welcome!

Im close to buy the theme. my only issue is the Portfolioview of a single Post. Is it possible to show smal thumbnails beside the main image? So people can choose the image they want to see instrad of clicking on those arrows?

thanks

Hey sconey!

You’d have to use a gallery plugin to accomplish that.

Hey Theme,

Is there a way for me to add other google web fonts to the theme?

Thanks!

Hey Big!

Check out this ticket in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/51185/search/

I’m very surprise with the frequent update, especially the woocommerce. This is the best theme money can buy. When other developer busy making money with new theme, ThemeNectar continue update his only theme.

I’ll change my woocommerce shop to this theme, very nice design. I’m waiting for the GRID blog layout update, hopefully coming soon. Need a 2 column grid.

This theme worth more than $45.

Thanks so much sai2! I’m very happy to hear the good feedback from you guys :)

Hi, great and easy theme. I have 2 questions can i change the colour of the text in the Home slider? I want to sort my portfolio, added 2 main-categories including 7 sub-categories. marked them on the portfolio-site a few times, but it only shows me 7 of them on my site?!

Thanks in advance!

Hey conceptArchitect!

1. Use this in your custom css box in the theme options panel:
#featured article .post-title h2 span {
  color: red!important;
}

2. I’ll need you to open a ticket regarding this issue with your URL so I can check your setup :)

Cheers :)

Wow!! This update Rocks!! Thanks Nectar..

Cheers vmedia!
