You’re so amazing dude. Now that this theme has a boxed layout and WooCommerce… it’s over. Ha!

Ok man… just 1 question. I want my max-width on desktop to be the 980px that you have set on the next size down.

How can I make this happen. I was hoping there was a better way than to have to edit all of the media queries and classes in the responsive css individually? Unless you have a quickfix?

Thanks for your help! Also, can you pm me a donation link so I can send you some donation $?

Hey CrucialCounty!

1. To accomplish that all you would need to do is open the responsive.css stylesheet (located in the css folder) and remove this section at the top:

@media only screen and (min-width: 1300px) {

  .container {
    max-width: 1100px;  
  } 
}

2. This would require a little bit of css development actually.

I’m so grateful for you man. Thank you for such excellent support.

Hi,

If I update to 1.8 will I lose all the content I’ve created? I assume any changes I’ve made to the stylesheet in my current version will be overwritten when I upgrade?

Hey birons!

You will lose any modifications you made directly to the theme files, yes. In best practice you should add your custom css to the custom css box in the theme options panel or into a child theme so that they persist through theme updates.

Thanks for the reply. Will I loose any of the page content? So like portfolio, homepage content etc?

No, all of that will be safe :)

Hi TN,

So I’ve done some digging, and it looks like my default font is OpenSans (the font that I want). When I’m previewing my page through WP, everything looks like it should (the fonts are OpenSans). But when I access my page by typing www.elevantproductions.com into the URL bar, I get a page where the fonts are all messed up. I’m also missing the icons.

Please let me know what the problem is here.

Cheers!

Hey ranusbc!

I’ve checked your URL in every browser and can see the fonts and icons loading in normally. Have you already found what was wrong on your end? I’m assuming it was a directory error.

Cheers

Yeah, super weird, but now everything works. I guess your presence scared off the bugs :P

I tend to have that effect on them ;)

Let me know if it comes back!

Cheers

Hi, I have some pre-purchase questions:

1) I need this page to be in Czech language. I tried post a comment in the demo page and it seems the font used in the teme doesn’t support some of the CE characters and replaces them with another font (?šž?ýáéí – ?Š??ŽÝÁÍÉ). Is it a bug or does the font have the correct characters? Of course I need the “clean” font, mixing two fonts looks ugly – including all the font in headers, buttons, titles etc.

...

2) Is it possible to have recents blog post below the homepage slider instead of the icons+texts shown in the demo page?

...

3) Talking about the portfolio content, is it possible to make it 2 columns (I see possibility of 3 or 4 columns only)?

...

4) Portfolio cointent again, can I write below the headline something elese than a date (ex. movie genre etc)?

...

5) How many social media icons can be used at the side of the portfolio post?

many thanks for the reply!

Hey txeco!

1. The default fonts loaded with the theme don’t have support for those characters, but in the theme options panel you can choose to load fonts that do.

2. Yes of course!

3. Right now there’s only 3 & 4 column layout options for the portfolio.

4. You would need to modify the code accodingly.

5. Only the sharing icons shown in the demo are there for you to choose from. However, there are many more simple social icons that link to wherever you need that are usable in the header/footer.

Has anyone integrated a mega menu with this theme?

pphelan, I haven’t seen it yet so unfortunately I can’t point you to any examples.

Hi!

When I edit on the dashboard, my font is Proxima Nova. When I visit my website: elevantproductions.com, the font looks like something different, maybe Times New Roman. Also, my icons aren’t working! Help!

ranusbc, please see my answer to your other comment.

Cheers! :)

Hi I have 2 quick questions:

1. How can I make the testimonial text larger as it’s tiny and is it possible to have them rotate automatically?

2. My “home” is built like this Slider>Full width>Solid background>testimonials>end of solid background>full width

but here is the problem… from end of solid background to the next full width I have a ca.10px gap… meaning that the background is not seamless… but in the demo the background seems to go seemlesly over to the next part… what am I doing wrong?

Hey flippmate,

1. Add this to your custom css box and adjust the size which you feel is “tiny”:
.testimonial_slider blockquote p {
   font-size: 24px!important;
} 

Also, there is no way to make it rotate automatically without making a custom javascript event.

2. You most likely have an extra space in your editor causing the gap. Check both the visual and text tabs for anything between the sections that shouldn’t be there :)

nice theme is there a way to disable responsiveness?

Yup, there’s a button to disable it in the theme options.

Cheers :)

Terribly stupid question, but how do you change the background color on all pages? I tried changing a few background colors in the styles.css page to #ffffff but no luck. I assumed the change would be in the “Global” css section?

I used the above code and everything looked fine last night when I logged out…when I logged on this morning, all of the paragraph text on the entire page is white and is not visible. It is still there though….I can see it if I drag my cursor and highlight it…any thoughts? Where should I check in your CSS page for the paragraph font color?

Still couldn’t find the issue so I just reloaded the style sheet. As you were. :)

Interesting, I’m glad you’ve sorted it though!

Before you buy this great would topic know if it is possible to create paging in the last post? so they leave not only the last 4 post if you do not have paging and people can see more post not only the 4 most recent?

Hey xMuseT!

If you’re asking about pagination, you can activate pagination for blog posts and the portfolio. You can also either use a simple left and right arrow pagination or show the page numbers as well.

Not is if he has properly understood my question, I mean that if you cannot put you paging to the short [recent_posts] code or activate some arrows left/right to the code short [recent_posts] likewise as shown in your page (http://bit.ly/1cYj6OX) with which you can display more images, but in this case what I want is to show more post and having a paging or arrows to continue showing more post and not only the 4 post more recent that I created, is this possible? If so please tell me to see if I buy this great theme.

xMuseT, there’s no carousel option for recent posts. As of now it’s only a 4 column display and changing that would require custom development.

Will I get the main HTML pages if I purchased the theme? and is there a dark skin ?

added :) thanks _

Hello,

First of all, a really beautiful and special theme! Just a small question before purchasing – is the theme supportive of rtl direction text and different languages?

Thank you

Hey YakiPasandi!

1. No RTL support unfortunately

2. Yes, the theme includes everything you to need translate :)

Is there an option to switch off the Featured image being displayed in the post itself?

I wanted to use a small version of the Featured image for loading quickly in browser but then use a full resolution version in the actual post itself?

Thanks

Also… I have a completely white slider on the homepage, I have added a button to go to the portfolio page, the button text is also white, you can’t see the text or button till you accidentally hover over it, is there a way of manually changing the colour of just this one slider? – Thanks again

Hey leecant!

1. Enter this into your custom css box:
.single article.post .content-inner .post-featured-img img {
  display: block!important;
}

I’m wanting to put slide shows on any page, mainly Flex Slider. I noticed you have it included, but is it currently being used for anything? If not, I will probably get wooslider, it’s pretty much Flex Slider for wordpress using shortcodes. Just wanted to know your thoughts on this :)

Hey Amie :)

Yes, the felxslider is used for both the portfolio and blog galleries when you choose to “Enable Gallery Slider” such as here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio/old-tv/

If you want to call it on other pages you can use the raw html markup of a flexslider in Salient in the text tab on your editor (it looks like this)

<div class="flex-gallery"> 
     <ul class="slides">
        <li>IMG HERE</li>        
                <li>IMG HERE</li>            
       </ul>
</div> 

Can you please tell me the demo slider’s image size? I can’t get my slider images to resize appropriately(yes, the toggle button is correct). What is the perfect image size for the slider (not just the ‘safe’ size).

Thanks!

Hey TBrandon!

The first image used in the live demo’s home slider is 2000×670. :)

Hi TNec,

Our website stopped working we need HELP!!! we were ready to launch Monday now it wont upload we cant move anything on it. Is all messed up please help! :crying:

Thank U!!

Hey PDBranding,

I just wrote back to you on the support forum regarding this :)

WP say-Failed to import Media “city

prashant179,

there shouldn’t be any real problem. That one sample image just won’t appear on your end in the extended about page, but you can still replace it with your own image or remove it all together. Are you seeing any other errors or having problems that you can show me?

Also, I will most likely make another tutorial regarding the new features :)

Ok i got it! buddy

That theme is -amazing :) -Cool :) -Awesome :) -Mind blowing :) -fantastic :)

Thanks For Making My life! @ThemeNectar

Thanks so much for the compliments! Cheers :D

Hi,

I have a question, or to buy a template, it is possible to also get html version?

Regards:)

Hey art90,

Unfortunately there’s no html version available yet.

but the files. PSD are available to purchase?

There are no PSD files included with the theme either nor are they available to purchase elsewhere. However if you follow me on ThemeForest you will get notified if I ever release an html version or PSDs :)

Hi, I have a short question…. In my Portfolio I can click on “view larger” then the picture gets bigger and the background dims down. But the content of my page is still visible and full lighten. At some pictures this causes that you cant see the “X” to close the preview. How can I fix that? www.a-jebsen.de

Hey Guppinator! That is actually a bug when using the boxed layout. A fix will be included in the next update coming soon, but to fix it on your end now enter this into your custom css box:

#boxed {
  z-index: 1000!important;
}

Thank you so much :)

You’re welcome!

Hi,

Regarding the slider. could we get some details on what aspect ratio it is. I am using a lot of images and the tops and bottoms are being cut off in awkward places. if i had a canvas size/ratio for photoshop i could crop them to ratio so that they are well displayed.

THANKS!

Also i can’t get a video to embed in a 1/3 section any ideas?

treelight,

1. The slider’s height is defined by you in the home options tab of your theme options panel. The aspect ratio also changes based on the viewers screensize, so your images will scale accordingly if you have the enable image resize option enabled.

2. Are you placing the embed code into the text tab on your editor rather than visual? It won’t work in visual.
