Hello 1/ is it possible without coding to turn the theme in a one page parallax. (like your home ultra extend but with light box portfolio, pages, contact and blog)? 2/ is it possible to play vimeo content in your beautiful minimal lightbox ? Thanks regards B.
Hey B!
1. Unfortunately it’s not.
2. Yes it is 
Cheers
I am using this theme primarily to show off different dresses categorized into their specific brands. This includes over 100 dresses being displayed and takes a while to load all of them on one page. I tried resorting to the pagination method, but when doing this, it only shows the specific brands that are on that specific page…
What I’m wondering is if there is a way to categorize these dresses into their specific brand right on the main portfolio page. Instead of loading over 100 items, it would only load 15-20 for that specific designer, resulting in shorter load times.
Please get back to me when possible. I believe this can be done with some customization to the theme. If you could guide me on how to achieve this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Check out http://shafeez.com/styleamerica/dresses to see what I mean.
Thank you!
Hey Shafeez!
Yes, that would require some custom development. Essentially, the portfolio sortable would have to make ajax requests and populate the list on the fly. Since microlancer just started offering small WordPress customization gigs I would recommend you head on over there and have someone wrap this up for you in a couple hours
Hi,
In boxed mode, is there anyway for a full width section with an image to simply show the background image?
That would be fantastic.
Hey charlieshenton!
Are you asking if a full width section can essentially break out of a the boxed layout?
I don’t think so. More if a full width section could cut away the (in this case) white box to reveal the background image shown either side of the boxed layout.
It wouldn’t really be possible without custom development I’m afraid.
Hello again,
We need to add custom javascript code to the site, where to add it?
Maybe something like custom.js?
Thanks
maybe in the same code box, where is Google Analytics code?
Hey mzuker,
You can paste it into the init.js file located in the js folder
Thanks
You’re welcome

Hi, Whenever I choose the half page, boxed, shortcode and do NOT choose centred for text it still centres the text – any idea how to stop this happening?
Thanks
Hey tt801!
The boxed option will always center text by design, however you can remove that with this snippet (paste it into your custom css box in your theme options panel)
.col.boxed {
text-align: left!important;
}
Cheers
Perfect, thanks for the immediate response – really appreciate it.
You’re very welcome
Hi, how i can change the WPML language flag in the menu, instead having this in the last menu item, having this first?
Hey mzuker!
I believe WPML just places it there automatically. In order to move it you might need to call it manually in the code where you desire.
do you know where to add this? i mean for having it at the beginning of the menu
By the way I don’t know why this theme is loadin weird from iPhone. Just before it’s completely loaded you can see a big and bold vertical line at the right side of the screen!
1. You would have to place the function call for it inside of the header.php file in nav unordered list.
2. Haven’t heard that before, but I will check on an iPhone in the morning What version are you using by the way?
1- ok thanks
2- the for iPhone 5 and 4 from chrome and safari. Check it specially on 3G when connection is not very fast.
1- cant find the code you sent me, is not on header.php!
Will do,
in regards to the header.php – yes the code is in there. If you’re on a recent version it should be at line 109
sending you a mail
Please use the support forum instead: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
will do it in both sides to have your answer ASAP!
done, now help me! 
after hours of working on this, it is impossible!
do you have any idea?, can you please try your self a fix?
Are you talking about placing the flag selection as the first list item still?
yes. Is impossible. Please help
mzuker, this mod you’re trying to do has nothing to do with Salient itself, but rather your understanding of WPML / general coding knowledge. Here’s a topic on their forum regarding this: http://wpml.org/forums/topic/language-selector-as-first-item-in-menu/
It would be more appropriate to continue your questions about this particular mod over there
Cheers
What do you use to convert your videos to M4V and OGV Files? I uploaded MP4 files, but I can’t see some of them on my iPad and iPhone.
Hey lenwonwu,
All of your self hosted videos should work as long as you supply both file types. It’s not one or the other for this option. For the demo I used online converts such as: http://video.online-convert.com/convert-to-ogg
Cheers
thanks for the link for the .ogg files, but how do you convert to m4v? I can’t find that option anywhere.
If you already are using an mp4 I would suggest contue to stay in that format as it’s supported the same as m4v. I’m actually using it in a few places on the demo
Cool. I created the .ogv files and I can view them in all browsers on my mac pro, but on my mobile devices (iPhone and iPad) i can hear the sound and the see the timeline scrubbing, but the video never shows.
Can you share a URL where this happens so I can see?
Thanks!
I will send you an email.
Please post a ticket on the support forum instead: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
I usually discourage users from ending emails unless it’s absolutely necessary.
Thank!
It’s password protected. I just sent the password info. I’m fine with the convo remaining on here.
I just checked your portfolio and tested out one of your videos on my galaxy s4 and an iPhone 5 and can see the playback on both devices.
I’m still not able to see the videos and my blog is rendering a blank page.
1. Kind of at a stand still with this issue at the moment since they work fine on the mobile devices I’ve checked on and you seem to be the only one experiencing this as it has not been reported from another buyer.
2. Are you on the latest version? Have you checked for plugin conflicts?
Hi ThemeNectar, I’ve tried reading some of the comments to find the information I need but to no luck.
I saw that version 1.6.2 saw the introduction of a WPML main menu language selector support. I was wondering if the template in general was quite WPML “friendly” ?
Cheers!
Hey guimos!
That was one of the only bugs I heard reported with it which is why I took care of it back then. That being said, I still have not declared 100% support simply because I have not had the time to test. However, I know that a good amount of my buyers have used it without many troubles
Cheers
Thank you very much for the prompt response!
You’re welcome!
Hi Nectar, Firstly, I just like to say I really like your theme and closly match with the site that my client wants. I just would like to ask you a couple of questions please. 1. I have watched your slider video tutorial and haven’t seen an option to do the slider that I will like to create. So , can the slider be something like this one? http://www.humaan.com.au/ ? If not, please suggest. I have found this, http://www.parallaxslider.com/classicType.html but I am not sure whether it will be okay with your theme or not. 2. Can I take off map on contact page and make the form smaller? 3. Can I add newsletter and/or quick contact form on the footer widgets?
Regards,
Thura
Hey Thura!
1. You could technically use any slider you want as long as you are comfortable with editing the theme files to implement it in the same way you would in any other scenario.
2. You can indeed both remove the map and change the width of form
3. Yes, but that would require the use of plugins.
Cheers
Thanks! So, can I still use your installed slider that come with the theme to have multiple images slide in and out with text and link in the middle or does the new slider plug in need to be installed?
Thanks again,
Thura
You would need to use a plugin, my slider does not offer laying images like that.
Cheers
Cheers. I could install revolution slider and that would be sorted. Can I also ask you one more question if you don’t mind.
I would like to have 3 boxes ( a latest Blog (eg, http://www.humaan.com.au/) , Twitter reel (eg. http://www.cloud-distribution.com/), and subscribe form) just under the slider on the home page. I am thinking of using the boxes from your columns page, http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/features/columns/ which is very similar to the boxes from Humaan website. So, can I put those three content (a latest blog, twitter reel and subscribe form) in the boxes?
I am going to download the theme over this weekend.
Many Thanks for your support.
Thura
You can place anything you like in the boxed columns However, you’ll need to use plugins for the twitter reel and subscribe form as there is no functionality built in to the theme to do those things. Also, the recent posts shortcode is meant to show three posts in columns (it’s supposed to be used on its own row) so you might need to tweak the css a little for it to fit inside of a single column.
Cheers!
Thanks Nectar, I have just purchased the theme and looking forward to work on it. If I need any further help, please may I contact you? My only concern at the moment is only the blog box on the home page. I notice that the posts the blog page, http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/blog/blog-masonry-fullwidth/ are in the boxes so it could be able to have the latest post shown like that on the home page. I will have a try.
Thanks
Thura
Thanks for purchasing Thura! If you need further assist please don’t hesitate to post on the support forum
Hi Nectar. I have been working on the theme and enjoying it. I have managed to make three boxes on the home page and I am struggling to have a post on the first box as you can see here, http://www.short-breaksuk.co.uk/cloudtexo/ . I just made only one post on a category so it shows one but it doesn’t go right as portfolio one as you can see on the link. When I tried Portfolio, it fit in the box. Is there any way to have particular post may be by ID ? and How to edit css for the post box (the first one)?
Many Thanks
Thura
Add this to your custom css box in the theme options panel:
body .blog-recent .col {
width: 100%!important;
}
Many Thanks. It works now and I am very happy. Just wanting to ask (it’s fine if it can’t be with this theme) if you don’t mind. Will it be possible to have only one particular post in the box? For instance: there are three posts in a Dining category but I will like to have one of the posts may be ID-2 shown in the box.
Thanks again
Thura
Thura, this would only be possible with custom development unforately. You would need to edit the header.php file to show the boxed layout with a new conditional i.e. your post id
Hi Nectar, Thanks for the information provided. I don’t think I can develop on that. I will show client as it is now. If the client does want particular post shown on the box, I think I will have to ask a developer to do it for me. Thanks again,
Thura
You’re welcome Thura
Hi Nectar, I hope you don’t mind me asking a couple of more questions. This is what I have done so far on the site, http://www.short-breaksuk.co.uk/cloudtexo/ . On the top nav menu, there are arrows next to the text link which shows that there is drop down menu for instance: ‘ABOUT’, ‘SOLUTIONS’, Is it possible to take the arrows off so that the space will be the same between the buttons. I am not sure it will be okay for mobile version.
The other thing is that the size(height) of header area is higher than it should be there because of the logo height. I don’t want to make the logo smaller but the height of the header/top bar smaller ( Basically the top and bottom space of the logo). Is there any way I can do something in CSS? Please suggest.
Many Thanks
Thura
And aslo, how can I take search box off in other mobile and ipad version?
Hey Thura!
1. You can remove them this css snippet (paste it into your custom css box)
body .sf-sub-indicator {
display: none!important;
}
body .sf-menu .sf-with-ul a {
padding-right: 10px!Important;
}
2. You can actually control the header padding (which is exactly what you’re referring to) in the theme options panel > header options tab.
3. Add this to your custom css box:
#mobile-menu #mobile-search {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers!
Hi Nectar, Many thanks and you are genius! The arrow from nav is not displayed now which is great but I noticed that it affects to mobile version sub menu. As there is no arrow, the sub menu doesn’t work on mobile. Sorry to bother you . Thanks again
No problem mate! Change the first snippet to this:
body header#top .sf-sub-indicator {
display: none!important;
}
body header#top .sf-menu .sf-with-ul a {
padding-right: 10px!Important;
}
Nice one! All works now. Clever! Actually, there is one more thing, may be I need to read your guide more. I set up Latitude Longitude for map at contact page and uploaded Marker Icon and ticked in Use Image for Marker box in the optional panels but the marker (the icon) doesn’t show (point to the location) on the map. Do I need to do anything else? Many Thanks!

I have got it. Many Thanks

Hi Nectar, I know you are busy. I am here again and sorry to bother you again. I really really hope you can help me this time as well especially for Blog page social buttons. Firstly, this is what I have been developing on your theme so far, http://www.short-breaksuk.co.uk/cloudtexo In the individual blog page, eg: http://www.short-breaksuk.co.uk/cloudtexo/costs-of-repairs-or-data-recovery/ , at the moment, we only have Twitter share button there.I would like to get Twitter, LinkedIn and Google Plus share button/features for each blog if possible (noticed that icons are in the img>icons folder) so may be it is possible to change icon images to original ones/logo(I think). If we can have ‘share’ button as well, that will be great but it might be difficult tho I don’t know. I may be able to grab the code from here, https://www.addthis.com/get/sharing#.UkDBXJKmje4 So, would you be able to suggest me how to add the two more social share buttons on blog pages please?
Secondly, while the slider is loading when the home page is landed, is there any way to have background image or text something like this one, http://www.humaan.com.au/ ? I found that there is an option to change just background colour in the Home Options.
Many Thanks for your help and much appreciated.
Thura
1. You would have to edit the theme file single.php directly and manually replace the list items where I have the built in sharing items with your own.
2. You would have to set a background image on the slider that contained your text. You can do that with the css snippet:
body #featured {
background-image: url('YOUR-BG-IMG.jpg');
}
Cheers!
Hi Nectrar, I have got background image sorted. Thanks a lot. I replaced facebook to linkedin , pinterest to googleplus in single.php file but it doesn’t show neither on Blog options from admin area nor on blog page. I changed facebook into this; //linkedin if(!empty($options[‘blog-linkedin-sharing’]) && $options[‘blog-linkedin-sharing’] == 1) { echo ‘
Do I need to do anything else? I can give you the admin details and ftp if you like. I know I have been asking so much. Sorry and THANKS again.
thura,
You’re not going to be able to get it to display as an option in the options panel you essentially need to remove the conditional all together so that it becomes hardcoded. You take out the if statement and place you social sharing code there so it shows up
Hi Nectar, just saying I have sorted on social sharing buttons on blog page. Thanks
Cheers!
Hi Nectar, It’s Thura again, I firstly want to say sorry to bother you. I know this has been a while. Regarding about a latest post to display on the home page, please see here (http://cloudtexo.com/). At the moment, there is a Welcome post from Blog category. When I add another post with the same category name, it display on the home page as well (eg. if I have two post in the same category, there are two posts showing on the home page content box). So, there will have so may posts in there and look untidy. We only need to use one category which is fine. I hope you know what I mean. We only want just a single latest post there if possible. As far as I remember, you suggested that header.php need to be editing in custom development which I can not do. So, would it be possible for you to do it for me as a favour and I will like to make some payment for thank you if you don’t mind me saying that. Please suggest.
Thanks again,
Thura
Hey again Thura! I really would like to do the mod for you but I am super busy with the latest update and don’t have much time to spare on side gigs :/
However, if you don’t mind paying you should head over to microlancer and i’m sure you’ll find a dev that can wrap this up for you very quickly!
Cheers
Hi Nectar, Would be good if you could help but thanks for the suggestion. Will see what I can do. Thanks again.
You’re welcome thura, good luck and I’ll be here if you have any more questions
Cheers!
Hi Nectar, Happy New Year to you first of all and I am back here again. I just have an issue in sharing post url on linked in page. The linked in share doesn’t load any information about the post. Just the main URL of the website. When I test the other wordpress site, it loads the relevant post info. When I use the linked in share button from the website, it has the same issue. It only bring the main url of the site. I deactivated some other plug ins and tried but it still didn’t work. Therefore, I was wondering is it something to do with the theme? If you have any idea how to sort this, please educate me.
Many Thanks
Thura
Hey again Thura!
As far as I know LinkedIn can be sparatic with picking up open graph tags – http://developer.linkedin.com/forum/share-button-not-reading-open-graph-metatags?page=2
However, something to try would be to open up the functions.php file and remove the default theme open graph tags by deleting this line near the bottom:
add_action( 'wp_head', 'add_opengraph', 5 );
and then using a plugin like this to have control over them: http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-open-graph/
Apparently from that forum post I referenced for you, there’s talk of LinkedIn caching open graph data from sites for a week at a time, so unfortunately you would have to wait a little after doing that to see if it helped.
Cheers!
Hi Nectar, Many thanks for getting back to me with the information. I have tried to find the code that you suggested but I couldn’t find it. It works with everything else: Facebook & Google+. Any other suggestion please?
That function exists in the bottom of the functions.php which is located in the theme itself – if you don’t see it than you’re most likely on an outdated version before it was even added. Because of it, there’s nothing in the way of that plugin from working correctly. As that LinkedIn forum discussion mentions open graph data does work consistently even when there’s seemingly no issue. The developers also commented say they were aware of this and going to fix it but apparently didn’t yet..
Hi me again, I noticed on the preview site for the shopping bit there is some really good product mockups for t-shirts and hoodies can you point me in the right direction as to where you got them??
I found the hoodie and cd one on gomedia aresonal- was mainly interested in the t-shirt one.
ah hey i found it no wories..
Great to hear drawfox
Can we use this theme with SSL?
Hey mzuker! You should be fine to use SSL ,yes. However if you use SSL on the entire site on every page for whatever reason, there might be a quirk or two. I’ll be looking more into that and will address any bugs I find in the next release.
Cheers
Looks incredible! Will be purchasing soon for my new client GREAT job!

Thanks a lot Delts!

Hi! Thanks for the great theme guys! Love it
I’d like to ask you to help me a little. You see, I don’t want page header title to appear on the page, but if i leave related setting empty, half of it is still there. Literally half of the word or a phrase Is there a way to fix it?
And another thing, i’d like to change the background color of a page, but i know very little about the code, and i don’t seem to be able to find where it is.
Thank you in advance!
Hey Carivna!
The half page title thing is a bug of v1.9 that will be fixed in the next update.
1. Are you trying to remove titles on all pages or just one? If it’s just one please supply the URL to the page you would like it removed from
2.
enter this into your custom css box in the theme options panel (general settings tab):
body .home-wrap, body .container-wrap, body .page-header-no-bg {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
Thank you for a quick reply!
I need it to be removed from all the pages, so i’ll be waiting for an update i guess When is it coming out by the way?
And background color was changed successfully! Thank you very much!
Hey!
Try entering this into your custom css box:
.row .col.section-title h1 {
visibility: hidden!important;
}
Also, I’ll be releasing an update in about a week hopefully
Cheers!
It worked perfectly! Thank you!
Looking forward to an update
Cheers!
Cheers to you too!
Hi There, cudos on this Theme! I’m loving it 100%! Question though;
I have a lot of (sf-) menu items: 8 to be excact. Responsiveness is super, however, when in landscape orientation on an iPad the menu gets mixed up and the menu items get thrown underneath each other. This really messes up the useability! There’s simply not enough room for 8 menu-items.
Can you please help me?
Hey markiti!
Enter this into the main theme stylesheet or a child theme stylesheet if you’re using one
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) and (max-width: 1300px) {
body header#top nav > ul > li > a {
font-size: 11px!important;
}
nav > .sf-menu > li > a {
padding-left: 5px!important;
}
}
Thanks a freakin’lot!
You’re welcome!
BTW: parralax doesn’t work when Contact Template is selected…
Hey markiti, what version are you on? The text in the home and page header should indeed center on iPad landscape just the same as it does in the demo. Also I just tested the parallax header with the contact page template and it also seems to work without problems.
Hi, I’m on version 1.8 of the Theme and 3.6 WP! With the parallax I mean when you choose the Contact template and choose Parallax with the FULLWIDTH section. BTW, it only doesn’t work in CHROME.
Oh I see now, yeah you can’t place full width sections next to certain elements because chrome bugs out. It’s a browser level bug, but the only other area I’m aware of this of is the home slider when using videos in it because of the use of fixed position.
I See that’s version 1.9 is out. Is there a way to update that doesn’t mess up my changes to the css besides excluding the file when uploading with ftp? Btw, totally in love with this theme!
Is it possible to make a slideshow in a page the same way as in a portfolio item? The extra checkbox at the bottom of the page?
Hey markiti!
If you’ve made custom additions to the stylesheet itself, you’ll have to make a backup copy of that and then reapply them into the updated theme. Going forward you should use a child theme if you plan on editing or adding to any of the files in the theme for an easy update transition!
Also, it is not now but will in the next update!
It’s me again! I updated WORDPRESS to 3.6.1 Now when I click on the ‘view larger’ button that appears over a recent post/portfolio when hovering the Preview is all messed up. Is this a known problem that you know off?
Hey markiti!, Nope, I’ve never heard of such a problem. Have you tried clearing your browsers cache? I just checked your URL and don’t see anything wrong with it.
Cheers
I’m sorry, I have one question left: So I moved the Wordpress installation from my /wordpress/ folder to the root! (only index.php & .htaccess) Everything seems to work fine except the SHOW ALL POSTS line (in dutch: BEKIJK ALLE BERICHTEN)
It’s trying to find my news page (NIEUWS) in the same folder as the page is in: Example: http://www.paauwenvanegmond.nl/bloemen-groothandel/lijnrijder/
When you click “BEKIJK ALLE BERICHTEN (SHOW ALL POSTS) it should go to:http://www.paauwenvanegmond.nl/overons/nieuws
but it goes to:
http://www.paauwenvanegmond.nl/bloemen-groothandel/lijnrijder/overons/nieuwsIt seems to be missing a ”/”
Can you help me with this as it’s the only problem and website is now ‘live’!
Hey markiti! Sorry for the delay – as you know I was super busy with 2.0
You will need to run an sql query to change urls in your database when moving the site directory on your server. See this for more details: http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
Okay thanks! UPDATE looks amazing! The HEART icon seems to missing though, any idea how that’s possible?
IMAGELINK: http://www.paauwenvanegmond.nl/wordpress/pics/nectarlove.png
Also… following buttons are NOT showing: icon-salient-back-to-all, icon-salient-left-arrow-thin & icon-salient-right-arrow-thin
Clear your cache markiti
Doesn’t seem to be working! Pls check:http://www.paauwenvanegmond.nl/ons-assortiment/roos-red-naomi/
Your font awesome file is not the 2.0 one – either that file is hard cached on your server from a caching plugin like w3 or you failed you update all the files when switching to 2.0
Cool thanks, I’ll try that!
Indeed something went wrong while uploading the 2.0 theme..
You’re welcome! Did you sort it now?
Cheers
It sorted it out! Next ‘problem’: There are some compatibility issues with users who us IE8, I’m telling everyone to update their browers offcourse, however, is there a fix for this?
Great to hear! Please open a ticket regarding IE8 issues you’ve found so I can properly go over them with you
Cheers!
http://themenectar.ticksy.comHi there! Really sorry if someone else has already asked this but If I have a bigger logo for top header than 30px in depth – what do I do with that? Thanks Really nice theme Great blog design! Nice feel to it
Hey pwamm-media!
You can define your logo height in the admin panel in the header options tab
Good morning. One question: is there a way to reorder the portfolio?
Hey verardiproduzioni!
Check out the plugin: Intuitive Custom Post Order
Is there the possibility to create a 100% width Slider on Portfolio Detail Page? I don’t want the description so prominent like this – i need a large image and below the description. IF you’d provide this with an update soon i’d love to buy it. Great work!
I’ll take this into consideration for the next update
Cheers
Hey marc,
I see your reszie working the same way as the demo – the event fires as soon as you scroll. Are you not seeing it working the same as on http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/ ?
Yes the same way. It’s like the pixel bug and then it goes fine.
Are you looking on the site in Safari? If so, that’s a browser level bug with resizing images. It works fine in Firefox, Chrome and IE..but if it bothers you, you can always disable the effect in the options panel in the header options tab
A pre-sale question: how easy is it to change the size of the font in the posts? I find the size to be a bit too small (would prefer something around 16px for standard reading).
Hey forsammyray!
The font settings can be changed easily for all of the various sections in the theme. Please see the screenshot in regards:
http://i.imgur.com/56KMhBH.jpgCheers!
