Hello Nectar, i bought your theme and it looks awsome. But I would like to know how i arrange my clients icons just like at http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/home/home-extended/ ? I will need to build my home with the shortcodes to look like that?

Thanks!

Hey ibsencaldas!

You can either import the dummy data file which will instantly give you all of the layouts you see in the demo or you can opt to make it yourself :)

Here’s a tutorial I have on recreating that layout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYYtSUp-cl0

Hi.

Is there a way to get sidebar for WooCommerce pages? I’ve tried selecting “Sidebar” and Sidebar-right” for Shop page, but doesn’t work.

Thanks.

There is an ajax cart already, have you enabled it in your header in the WooCommerce options tab inside of the theme options panel?

Now I have. PERFECT! Great support!

:D Cheers mate

HI,

I am searching for a nice template and I have some questions:

1) Can I change the fonts and size in header?. example http://www.braven.com/speakers

2) Can I change backgrounds in header, using an image? 3) I like very much this page https://www.beaconaudio.com In this case, in the HOME you can see a vertical blocks design, with different backgrounds, white, grey, pattrons, etc. Can I do this with your template?

Thanks!

Hey astroboy!

1. Yes you can! 2. Yes, as you can see on various pages throughout the demo you can indeed use an image background for the page header. Here’s one case: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/about/about-me-example/ 3. Yes, as seen on the demo you can create fullwidth background sections where you use colors, patterns or images anywhere in your page: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar,

Thanks for the theme. It is wonderful! :)

I have a slight problem. How did you get the Related Products positioned underneath the product image? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/product/flying-ninja/

Thanks, Nathan

Hey Nathan!

They will simply populate themselves there when you have other products in the same category as the one being viewed :)

Does this theme support WPML? Thank you.

Hey klenotnilu!

It doesn’t claim 100% support at this time simply because I have not thoroughly tested it, but I know a lot of buyers have used it and I have not heard complaints. :)

Hello,

Thanks for your theme it works really great!

None the less I encountered 2 small things: 1) Portfolio items do nog show on their page, eg: http://www.dotcompanies.nl/portfolio/hotelstunt-com/ 2) How can I set a full with parallax section in the center of a page?

Thanks in advance, Erik

Hey Erik!

1. Refresh your permalinks by going to Settings > Permalinks and clicking “save changes”

2. Check out this tutorial in regards to creating a full width parallax section: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYYtSUp-cl0

Cheers :)

Fantastic, it works. Thanks for the help!

You’re welcome!

hi, i want to change the “header” color which is light or dark… but not enought for me.

Can you tell me the good way to fix it.

Thank you very much,

Hey cleverdoor!

If you would like to change your header to a different color, check out this in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/49550/search/

Cheers :)

Hi, This is a wonderful theme, and your support looks good. Is it possible to create a transition between the page loads in this theme? Maybe a fade in and out between pages? This would pretty much make it the most awesome theme

Thanks, I appreciate that!

Here’s the steps to implement:

open your init.js file located in the js folder and add this in anywhere after the first line:
$("body").animate({ opacity : "1.0" });
then paste this in your custom css box in the theme options panel:
body {
  opacity: 0;
}

Awesome help. People please note: If you are intending purchasing this theme, it is not only written well but comes well supported, you will not be dissapointed.

Thank you so much!

Cheers :)

Could I ask what fonts you are using in the theme? Also are you thing of adding a lightbox option in the future?

Hey artistic24459!

1. Open Sans :)

2. You can already call a lightbox wherever you please by adding the class “pp” to any link :)

Hi Themenectar!

Thank you so much for the awesome support. I have two quick questions:

1. Is there an easy way to search through these comments or your support tickets? You seem to have dealt with most everything, but I find it hard to search for what I am looking for.

2. Is there a way to get text like on the home slider on the gallery images?

Thanks,

David

Hey David!

The search on ticksy will bring up tickets that use the searched term anywhere in the ticket so it can end up retrieving extra tickets that may mo be what you’re looking for. Also, half of the time people who open tickets won’t make there title specific enough or continue to ask different questions inside of the same title that the title doesn’t relate to so I know what you’re talking about. However, I do use the search very often to retrieve relevant tickets when a user asks me something I know i’ve already covered. If you can’t seem to find the answer to your question, just open a new ticket and if I’ve answered it before I’ll just lead you to the right place :)

2. Not without a fair deal of modding unfortunately.

you can add somne features? some small arrows when we click enlarge portfolio item, arrows to click next, beacouse users must click “large” and exit and then “large” you know what I mean?

Hey kylo,

the only reason I didn’t opt for this is because when people switched to a gallery post they would want a new arrow navigation within the lightbox for that and also switching to a video post would be difficult since it wouldn’t flow directly in gallery as easy as you might expect code wise. I will try and look more into this though – thanks for bringing it up!

hi a quick prepurchase question. How simple would it be to move the logo to the centre? thanks

cool, thanks for the reply

cool, thanks for the reply

You’re welcome x 4 :D

Theme Nectar did you receive my email? I was wondering about the problem with the nested columns.

Thanks

Yes, sorry for the delay – as you know it’s been a crazy few days!

Just answered now :)

Great THEME! Purchased yesterday! I need to know how to change my background color,I didn´t find in the tutorials, and when I press in “Footer options”: facebook icon – ON, but there is no place to write the adress…what is wrong? ( I saw in the tut. a space for that)

And about images, “view larger” (limited to HD?) and when I enter in “more details” It´s the same resized image..so in internet explorer looks (no antialising), and no option to see LARGE in this especific page.

Only with extra content I was able to click in the image…and the “Preview Image” doesn´t show nothing (tested with other image). Sorry for my english and I´m new in Wordpress.

Using wordpress 3.6

Congrats for your work!! I really like it!

Thanks a lot Marco!

1. You can add this snippet into your custom css box:
body, body .container-wrap, body .home-wrap {
  background-color: #222!important;
} 

note that you will also have to change the color of the img icons to match in Photoshop or some other graphics editing program.

2. There’s a new tab in the options panel for “social media” which is where you will enter in your url now. (It got moved to its own tab because the header also got the option to add social media icons so it made the most sense to move it into its own place)

3. If you want to add a lightbox on the more details page you can always create a lightbox link in the text tab on your editor by using the class pp on links. e.g.
 <a href="your_larger_img" class="pp"><img src="your_img " /></a>

4. I’m not sure what you mean here. If you’re using the extra content editor you still need to provide a regular featured image to be display at the top – if you would like to remove that you can open the single-portfolio.php file and locate this section:

//Regular Featured Img
else {

if (has_post_thumbnail()) { echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'full', array('title' => '')); } else {
    echo '<img src="'.get_template_directory_uri().'/img/no-portfolio-item.jpg" alt="no image added yet." />'; 
    }
}
and change it into this:
//Regular Featured Img
else {                         
if (has_post_thumbnail()) { echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'full', array('title' => '')); } 
}

Thank you very much! I will test all that!

Sounds good marco!

When on a portfolio thumbnail, is there a way to remove ‘view larger’ in the theme settings?

hi there, i just purchased the theme, i’m trying to use Typekit for my fonts but something seems to be getting in the way, is there a easy way to remove the google fonts script so i can use typekit?

Actually i worked it out, all I need now is to remove the ‘posted by’ under the blog title in the main index, however I can’t find it in the main index.php, what files control the meta information for the blog homepage? Thanks!

Good to hear muggz!

You can accomplish this by opening the files inside of includes/post-templates and removing the code that displays those items inside of this section:

<div class="post-header">
     <h2 class="title"><?php if( !is_single() ) { ?> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php } ?><?php the_title(); ?><?php if( !is_single() ) {?> </a> <?php } ?></h2>
      <?php echo __('Posted by', NECTAR_THEME_NAME); ?> <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> | <?php the_category(', '); ?> | <a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>">
    <?php comments_number( __('No Comments', NECTAR_THEME_NAME), __('One Comment ', NECTAR_THEME_NAME), __('% Comments', NECTAR_THEME_NAME) ); ?></a>
</div><!--/post-header-->

(if you’re not on WP 3.6 yet, then you’ll edit the files inside of includes/post-templates-pre-3-6)

Hi ThemeNectar! Love your theme, the video tutorials and ease of use… and honestly I am quite impressed with your support (I really hope you are not a one man team). So thanks a lot for all that, but I still have a couple of questions.

- The area around the hearts and heart counter isn’t completely transparent, at least in combination the portfolio/recent portfolio. Is there a reason why? Otherwise I would try to replace the background files with a matching color, because trying to adjust this with css didn’t really work…

- Is there (or do you plan to implement) a way to have a one page navigation? Would be great to have the option to direct menu elements to anchor points on the same page.

- The accent color is on some pages the hover color, while on others it’s the opposite (for example on the blog page). Is there a way to have this more consistent? I personally would prefer to have it the opposite way on the blog, so that on only hover the accent color appears.

- The slider is great, but I prefer the previous/next buttons when resized (after the first break point). Is there a way to have those buttons at the same spot (lower left side) all the time?

If you can direct me to the right direction I would appreciate that a lot as it would be already a great help.

Thanks and greetings from switzerland

Thanks a lot olgu!

1. Yes, the images are actually cut-out icons in order to allow the user to change colors in the options panel – if you change the main BG color of your site you must also open these icons up and alter the color to match in a program like Photoshop.

2. You can do this the same way you would in any regular html site – i.e. link to ids on the page through hashes. Here’s an example http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/#footer-outer

3. You would have to alter the related css for the blog buttons to take on the other style.

4. Since on desktop mode they are moving with the parallax, you would have to adjust the css quite a bit to get them positioned right. If you search for the relating rules in the responsive.css stylesheet you’ll have a solid start :)

Hey ThemeNectar! Lifeson here again. This time not with a problem.

I don’t really know why but the “recommended” WooCommerce-Plugin causes the “Watch-Video-Button”-function of the portfolio items to crash.

It looks like this:

http://lifesonfilms.com/http://lifesonfilms.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/videoplugincrash.png

It seemed WooCommerce was causing this. I dont really need the WooCommerc-Plugin. I just installed it in case I would need it. For me I just deleted the plugin itself and the Salient video.php worked fine again. Don’t know why. I just wanted to tell you this… maybe it’s a bug… maybe I’m just fancying something.

Hey Atilla!

That’s strange, I have WooCommerce active on the live demo and I’m not able to see the video popup error. I’ll try and peek more into this though – thanks for bringing it up!

I can’t add linkedin url into my theme. When I added it properly and add the icon to my site, its give me an error. Although I added my linkedin url correctly it adds my site url automatically when I did not. my linkedin url is www.linkedin.com/in/dharmindoshi and my site is d2works4art.com and this is what I get when I click on the button. The url on the button is drworks4art.com/www.linkedin.com/in/dharmindoshi. I did not add my site url but it added it self. Everything else work, twitter and facebooj its only linkedin causing this problem.

Hello dharmin!

You need to add “http://” on the beginning of any external URLs in your site. If you don’t the browser will assume it’s a relative link within your site :)

Awesome!!! It’s working now. Thank you so much :)

You’re very welcome :)

Hello I really love your theme, I would like to buy it, but I have a couple of question:

1 – I need to have a couple of video in the homepage, I have seen that in the presentation there is a video “Spacebound”, your slideshow accept also vimeo link and it could be possible to link a 720p video?

2 – I already have a blog on blogger, it could be possible to show it through the blog page with an iframe, or in a similar way?

Thanks

Hey mathew!

1. You could indeed embed a HD video..The size will be the same responsive size you see in the demo but the quality is up to you and since there’s fullscreen option on the player you could even make use 1080p.

2. You could simply link one of your menu items to your external blog as that would be best practice.

Hey I just updated my site to wordpress 3.6 and after that updated the theme to 1.7.2 coming from 1.6.2

The issue I have now is that my blog isn’t showing at all. I have it set up under settings--> reading --> and there I select the page where I want my blog to show up. I have no idea what the issue is, I’ve cleared my cache on my browser etc…

I read through some of the comments and notice other where having issues with previous updates but can’t seem to find one addressing my issue (unless I missed it)

Hope to hear from you soon!

Thank you

Hey jonaragon,

please open a support ticket with your URL so I can check your site out for you :) There should be no issue with your main blog page upon upgrading.

Cheers

Ok just submitted a support ticket
