Hi – Is there a way to remove the arrows from the home screen slider?

Hey!

Enter this into your custom css box:

div.slider-nav {
  display: none!important;
} 

will I be able to adjust the hover opacity – or other qualities of those 4 orange icons just above the footer without knowing a lot of CSS? are they controlled through an interface – like a plugin – or do they require CSS knoledge? Many thanks! Gorgeous theme!

You can choose your icon style and color through an interface. The examples of these can be found on the elements page: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/features/elements/

If you want to adjust the opacity you will need to use css :)

Hello,

I would like to upgrade to the newest version, but I do not understand how to upgrade the theme without losing all of the content and settings I have already setup. Please let me know ASAP because I would really like to use the boxed version. This will also come in handy for future updates. Do you have a post that shows users how to update their theme? I am also using WordPress Multisite. Feel free to contact me at nik@nikllc.com. I really do appreciate your phenomenal support for this theme and will continue to use and purchase your products.

Thanks, Nikolas

Hey Nikolas!

You can update your theme by downloading a fresh copy from ThemeForest, deleting the current version you have on your server and uploading the new. It’s recommended that you use FTP, but this also can be done with the WP dashboard if you prefer. The reason FTP is superior for this is because the theme won’t have to be deactivated during the process so you won’t have to reassign your widgets. You won’t lose any of your content as it’s all stored in the database rather the theme itself :)

Brilliant theme! Just a quick question. I have some long blogs and would like a ‘Read More’ button to appear like you have on the first entry here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/blog/blog-masonry-sidebar/ Is that a automated thing? How do I go about doing that?

Hey bigfatrobot!

Check out this ticket in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/67451/search/

Awesome! Nice and easy solution. Thanks :)

Hi, Just wondering, could you place a image in the background of the footer?

Yes, with custom css :)

Hi Nectar,

i have got another question about the Old TV Gallery.

http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio/old-tv/

How can i make the Image bigger and remove the Sidebar ?

Greetings

Hey blende11!

You would need to modify the single-portfolio.php layout. The sidebar div would need to be deleted and then the main content div would need to be changed to a span_12 to make it fullwidth :)

Thx a lot!

i find out that i musst chande the “post-area”

becouse the content div was allready span_12

:)

Yes, the post-area is what i was referring too sorry!

Hi, I’m having a little issue with the left sidebar. In the web version it looks fine, but in the mobile version, the sidebar shows up in first place, so it looks weird.

It looks like this: 1º Sidebar 2º Content

I would like: 1º Content 2º Sidebar

Is there any way to change this having the left sidebar?

The reason for that is because the left sidebar is appearing first in the HTML markup. If you wanted to change the position on mobile you would need to switch the position in the code and then also add some css to make it still work. I will look into making this work by default in the next release :)

Hi, GREAT THEME by the way. Beautifully designed. That being said… I noticed in Menus you can select portfolio categories… so how do you have multiple portfolio pages based on categories… if possible? I would like, let’s say, 3 categories applied to one page and 1 category applied to another…

Hey iammyal!

You can assign your desired portfolio categories on your portfolio pages by using the “Portfolio Display Settings” box on the right hand side of your screen when editing a page you’ve assigned the portfolio layout to.

Sweet! Thanks for the quick response.

You’re welcome!

Any recommendations on a language / country selector that offers a flag drop-down and works well with your theme’s menu system?

Hey pphelan!

WPML will offer you that feature :)

Purchased the theme and it really is wonderful. Thank you! Is it possible to add more than one gallery to a portfolio? This would be really aweome to be able to do.

Thanks.

Hey tartanmarketing! As of now you can only have one gallery with unlimited images per project. If you need to use more than one, I would look for a gallery plugin to hold you over for the meantime :)

Hi there,

First to all thanks for the them, I love it. I just have one small problem with the “Sort Portfolio”. I can see that the list of categories shows on top of the content (how it should be) but for some reason in my browser chrome is showing behinf the content. So the problem is that I can not see all the items of my portfolio. Make sense? Here is a link with the example. http://www.edithafuentes.com/portafolio/ It should be like this, but i can not see web>

All Logos Mailings Piezas Gráficas Web

I tried playing a bit with the z-index:100 in some part of the code for that list but unfortunately without lucky. Could you tell how to fix this please?

I really appreciate if you can help me. Thanks.

Editha.

Hey Editha!

if you’re using a parallax background header for your portfolio that would cause the issue in chrome. It’s a browser level bug which screws up the z-index of things. If you’re categories are extending out of your header parallax section, the only things you can do to fix it are increase your header height to fit the entire dropdown or disable the parallax effect for your section.

Thank you so much for your answer. It helped me a lot!!!

You’re welcome!

Great theme! One pre-purchase question: Is it possible to disable the publish date of items in the portfolio overview?

Thanks zmwartijn! Yes it is :)

Hi,

Quick question. When I’m creating a post and select the format “link”, when I place the link in the appropriate section, after publishing, when I click the link, it just opens up the same page in a different tab.

Let me know if you understand my issues. A bit confusing :)

Hey!

This is a small bug caused by WP 3.6 that I missed. Here’s the fix: open up your entry-link.php file inside of the include/post-templates folder and search for the content-inner div. Replace that entire div with this:

<div class="content-inner">

    <?php 
    $link = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_nectar_link', true); 
    $link_text = get_the_content(); ?>

    <a target="_blank" href="<?php echo $link; ?>">

        <div class="link-inner">
            <h2 class="title"><?php if(empty($link_text)) { echo get_the_title(); } else { echo $link_text; } ?></h2>
             <span class="destination"> <?php echo $link; ?></span>
              <span title="Link" class="icon" />
        </div><!--/link-inner-->

    </a>

</div><!--/content-inner-->

THANKS!

This is the best theme i have ever used. It is stunning. 5 stars! Keep up the great work.

Thanks so much NickZee! :)

hello,

I’m interested in your template. Before I’d buy it, please answer me a few questions

1., Can it be turned into a multi-language template? (WPML, Polylang) 2., Can I modify the page sections and add as much as I want? 3., Is the number of the menus fixed or can I add as much as I want?

Is there any constraint which restrict the use technically (not license stuff) I should know about before I buy this template?

Best regards VZ

Hey VZ!

1. A lot of buyers use WPML – I haven’t claimed 100% support yet because I haven’t tested enough but I haven’t heard many complaints of bugs with it :)

2. Absolutely! The setups seen in the demo are just examples of what’s possible.

3. There’s only two menus, the primary and the optional secondary which goes above the primary. These can be seen here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/headers/

4. It’s a what you see is what you get deal, i’m not hiding anything :) Also, I have a video series on the theme available here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL7Ay33CTsIAVMPtw3KPsAwDzr_XoVLeq If you’re wondering more about what your experience will be like I suggest you check some of them out first!

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar

Thanks for the awesome theme, loving it! Ik have a question about the bar above the header (with the secondary menu and the social icons… is there any way that I can change its color?

Thanks in advance!

Hey mvheteren!

Use this in your custom css box:

#header-secondary-outer {
   border-bottom: 0px!Important;
   background-color: #333!important;
}

Thanks, worked like a charm… only the outer edges of the buttons are now a really light color… kinda ugly. Is there any way the edges of the buttons can be 0px or a dark color?

Thanks in advance! Your give great support btw! :-)

Add this to your custom css box:

body #header-secondary-outer a, #header-secondary-outer nav ul li {
  border: 0px!important;
}

:)

Hey ketterj!

What exactly do you mean? Are you asking how similar is this theme to mine?

Yeah… its got too many similarities… and it was released 3 months after yours went nuts at the box office. Scope out it’s code I reckon… xoxo Passionate Salient Purchaser

Thanks for pointing this out ketterj!

I’ve actually had to deal with even worse clones of Salient during my time here. It seems there will always be imitations, so in order to stay unique I am going to continue building as I have been :)

Cheers!

Hi looking for a solution to my video problem. With the shortcodes, I was not able to enter the embed code from youtube. There are only 2 fields for the url of m4v and ogv files.

So after that I transformed my .mov files to 2 files .m4v and .ogv. I uploaded them on to my server, made sure the links work and then used those links for the URL… But still no luck! When I go to click on the play button, you can see it only has a # tag.

Please help!

thanks

Hey flippmate,

1. You can embed your videos anywhere you want from external sources such as youtube, you just need to paste the embed code in the text tab on your editor not the visual tab.

2. Your server probably just need this added to the .htaccess file in the root of your WordPress install.

AddType video/mp4 mp4 AddType video/mp4 m4v AddType video/ogg ogv AddType video/webm webm AddType video/webm webmv

Hi ThemeNectar

Quick problem with 1.8, I’m sure this has been already reported but please see below:

http://s23.postimg.org/3uycbo4kr/error1.png

Okay, I missed it because it’s a chrome only bug – was checking in Firefox :p

I’ll give you the fix so you can correct it now and will include this by default in the next release :) open up your init.js file located in the js folder and run a search for “smooth” to end up at the right section. in there change this:
$('body, body #header-outer, body #header-secondary-outer, body #search-outer').css('padding-right','16px');
to this:
if($('#boxed').length == 0){
    $('body, body #header-outer, body #header-secondary-outer, body #search-outer').css('padding-right','16px');
}

Worked like an absolute dream. Thank you so much! :)

You’re very welcome! :D

You really do set the standard for all other author’s out there. :)

Thanks so much evoarc! :)
