how do you get the language selection on the secondary menu like in the picture you have on the demo theme header section? is that a plugin?

Hey rickypwp1985! Yes, that is an option inside of WPML. :)

Hi, is it possible to password protect the portfolio page without showing the thumbs below the login field?

thanx, roderick

Hey roderick! If you’re referring to the content in the extra content editor – I am patching this in the next update to be hidden when the password has not been entered on password protected projects :)

Hey TN,

Is it possible to disable cart function and just allow catalog mode with prices for woocommerce?

Thanks

Hey neibohood, you can disable the ajax cart inside of the WooCommerce Options tab in your theme options panel which will remove the only cart addition Salient offers. The rest would need to be configured inside of WooCommerce itself.

Hi, Having issues with Parallax headers on iPad mini. Parallax becomes disabled on portrait mode (which Im aware of), but not on landscape mode.. so the page will not scroll correctly when on landscape mode

Secondly, how do I adjust the header padding. The header h1 and subtitle sit too far down the header image, I want to make higher please.

Lastly, back to top is disabled on iPhone, but in iPad landscape it does not display correctly, and scrolls up the page when you scroll (possibly caused by parallax header issue above). But I would like to offer back-to-top button for all devices, is this possible to do so it works correctly?

Thank you.

Hey flatairbag,

1. What version of the theme are you using?

2. Have you already opened a ticket regarding these issues on the support forum?

Hi, version 1.8. Yes I opened a ticket, was not sure the best place to ask.

Thanks for the info regarding your version. Usually I’ll only answer questions on here if they are simple ones or obviously pre-purchase ones. If the question requires a long answer or especially if you have a series of questions, I would please ask that you stick to the support forum as you’ve already done. I’ll be with you on there asap :)

I have two questions, is there any way to remove the maps feature from the contact page.

And how do i download the new update, its not showing up in my downloads or anything.

Hey cleahy43!

1. Yes, you can rename the file from page-contact.php to anything else like blah-blah.php and it won’t automatically get applied anymore :)

2. When you download the theme again from ThemeForest you will have the latest copy available which is 1.8

Hi, for some reason I cannot get the Nectar shortcode generator to work, the pop up box is blank without the typical options available. I have tried disabling my plugins folder and disabling adblock which did not solve the issue.

I already read that before you mentioned to change the permissions of the shortcode generator file to 755, I have done that and I am still not seeing any options. Some research mentioned changes in the folder names, my ‘wp-content’ folder was changed to ‘wp-con’ by a security plugin so perhaps that is the issue?

All I want to do is use the pricing table so I am not in a rush to fix this, it would be helpful though.

Hey owenprescott!

If you’ve changed your wp-content folder name that is the issue. Please rename it back to wp-content or modify the salient shortcode files to point to your newly named folder. Honestly the security by obscurity you’re getting from that one change isn’t that important and I would say you’re safe to change it back.

Hi I have a question about the theme.

I just find a problem between qtranslate and the Portfolio page’s Extra Content. When I active the qtranslate plugin, I can not switch the Extra Content text editor between Visual and Text.

Not sure is it the problem only happen to me.

Hey templatelearner! I haven’t heard of that issue before but it sounds like there’s a javascript conflict. I will take a peek into it and try and fix that in the next update.

hi i’m having problems with the slider buttons for ‘recent posts’ there seems to be these little ones on top of the regular ones, this has just happened since i updated it. – www.matthewdickerson.co.uk

oh ignore this i cleared my cache and it did the job

Great to hear!

Hi ThemeNectar,

I’m just about to purchase this theme but found that the top menu does not seem to float (or persist on the top of the screen) when in small window (mobile) size.

Is this an option or a permanent feature?

Many thanks and congrats for this beautiful theme!

J.

Hey canalventures!

Using position: fixed (the persistence on top of the screen) is buggy on mobile devices which is why I opted out of using it. I might investigate if there is a better way to handle it on mobile and implement it in the future. But for now, there is no option to do that.

Parallax background images – on my desktop the image I choose seems to ‘zoom’.

I have tried uploading a 2000px wide image, and want that FULL width of the image to be displayed as the background. You can see it best on the ‘Customisable Dashboard’ parallax of http://project-octo.futurestateofdigital.co.uk/features/what-you-see/ – where the original image is http://project-octo.futurestateofdigital.co.uk/files/2013/08/customisable-dashboard-office-view2000.jpg

Any advice? Thanks

adamp29, it depends on how tall the window you’re viewing the site from is. This is because the images used in the parallax effect must cover the entire height of the screen so it is all revealed when scrolling down. If you have a window height taller than the height of the image you’ve uploaded then it will have to zoom in making it bigger to fit thus clipping the edges on your image. Try resizing your window height and you’ll see what I mean.

Hello!

I really like this theme and considering to buy it. Just some prepurchase questions:

1) Are you planning to integrate a page builder? 2) Does it have a Mega Menu function? 3) Does it display the product category meta data (like picture and description text) you can add at the product category? 4) Is it possible to design the main shop site with custom items like text and pictures? 5) Is it possible to add a tagline to the header?

Thanks a lot :-)

Currently it only displays the optional description text. I’ll see if I can’t work the thumbnail in as well though in a future update :)

Great ;-)

We regularly create password protected posts on our site, however we would like these excluded from the list of blog posts that users can see. How do we accomplish that? Right now users see all blog posts (and although they can’t read the content on the password protected ones, they can see that they’re there, who posted them, how many comments, etc.) Basically, we want the password protected ones to be hidden from view. Thanks!

Hey giackio!

Accomplishing this isn’t really something specific to Salient, however here’s a good resource to look at which contains some code snippets to do what you’re looking for. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7538959/how-to-exclude-password-protected-posts-in-wordpress-loop

You’ll paste the one you use in the functions.php file of your theme :)

I forgot my email address and password to the support forum, as I am on a different computer. I clicked “Forgot Password”, but it prompts me to some sort of error note. Can you help me with this? Thank you :)

Hey acmediaservices!

You will need at least your email address in order to recover your password. If you don’t know it, I would suggest simply creating a new account on the forum :)

Hi,

I am looking for a great template. I am not sure about your header configuration. I saw white and grey backgrounds for the header.

My questions are:

1) Can I make a red header? or header with background image?. 2) How can I change fonts in header?.

Hey astroboy1970!

1. You can with custom css, as the only premade color schemes are the ones shown (light & dark).

2. There is a typography options tab in the options panel in which you can choose from the top google fonts from.

Cheers :)

Hi! I’m using a portfolio page that has a decent amount of content above the portfolio listing, so you have to scroll a bit before you reach the grid of portfolio thumbnails. The pull-down portfolio sorter remains in the header, though – I’m wondering if there’s a way for me to move that snippet of code down the page so it appears at the top of the grid of portfolio images instead of in the header? thanks so much!

Hey ariannastolt!

That would be a little tricky. It would actually be easier to hardcode your content into the page-portfolio.php file above the sortable dropdown.

Upgraded to 3.6 and all my custom thumbnails in the portfolio are not showing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey vas907! Are you using salient 1.8? Can I also have your url so I can see? Thanks :)

Got it fixed. Forgot I moved my upload folder to root.

Good to hear!

Cheers

Hello,

I have two questions:

• Do you have a page displaying your h1, h2, h3 etc. attributes?

• I have created a portfolio piece and the image is blurry both as a thumbnail and in the complete page. However, in the lightbox it is fine. You can see the screenshots here: http://ge.tt/8u4ewQp Your demo doesn’t have the problem using the same navigator, could you tell me if there is an ideal format and image ratio?

Thank you

Thanks! I’ll respond asap :)

Hey, did you get a chance to see what was wrong?

Hey, sorry for the delay – I was swamped with the v1.9 update and this accidentally got put on the backburner. I just checked out your site now and can see your thumbnail being slightly blurry but only what you would expect when letting the browser resize a larger image – especially one with small thin text. If you want to counter this, simply use a custom thumbnail image located the project configuration and upload a smaller sized one so you can control the quality better. I don’t see any distortion of the larger image on your single project page though. The image is responsive, so keep in mind if you’re looking on any screen size smaller than the large desktop view, it will also get sized in the browser and quality will reduce very very slightly. This is no something specific to Salient, but rather having a responsive sized image.

Is there anyway I can make when someone is on a blog post, the menu shows that the blog button is selected? That way it still looks like they are still in the blog section.

Hey Amie,

Add this line into your init.js file (located in the js folder) after the first line:

$('body.single-post #header-outer nav > ul > li > a:contains("Blog")').parents('li').addClass('current-menu-item');

Awesome!! What about doing this for the portfolio items? I assume it’s very similar

Yes, here’s how that would look:

$('body.single-portfolio #header-outer nav > ul > li > a:contains("Portfolio")').parents('li').addClass('current-menu-item');

Just change the

a:contains("Portfolio")

to whatever your portfolio page is named :)

When I am creating posts using the Link option, the URL that I define is not working and isn’t showing up at the bottom of the post on the blog page. Any tips on how to get this to work?

Hey pphelan!

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-->

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.
