hi, by portfolio it was possible to choose a more featured images. now it’s only one :(

Hey topachakan, please read the WordPress 3.6 update guide: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/59452/

It’s actually now possible to have unlimited images :)

Hello, very nice theme.

my ask, be possible setup/set blog on homepage?

Many thanks

Yes you can set your home page to be a blog, but you couldn’t use the home slider on that page without custom development. If you want until the next update this will become easier :)

Hi

How do I stop the header being fixed? Is there a script that I can delete? I am a developer so I can go into the code if needed, my client does not want the header to be fixed as it is quite a big header.

Thanks Kyle

Hey Kyle!

You just need to modify the css to make the header an absolute position instead of being fixed. Here’s a quick custom css snippet for you:

#header-outer {
   position: absolute!important;
}

hi just want to ask is that possible to use Slider Revolution?

Hey jikey! It is, but you would need to call the slider rev function inside of the theme files. Please see this in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/80706/search/

I don’t know if anyone asked before but i wonder, can i edit icons. I didn’t see any icon files. I guessed you did it by another way. Also even if i can edit them how can i put my new icon instead of old ones.

Hey n2es! The theme does use icons files – Font Awesome to be specific. They’re located inside of the css/fonts folder. If you would like to upload custom icons you would have to create a font out of your vectors using http://icomoon.io/app/#browse and add them to the theme.

Cheers

I generated my own font, i uploaded it to css/fonts , but i couldn’t see my new icons. What do you think i should do?

You would also need to reference the fonts in a stylesheet in order to be able to use the classes. Please note you’re not going to see them in the shortcode generator, that’s a whole different task – this is simply going to give you the ability to use the custom icon classes in html. If you’re not familiar with HTML and don’t know how to use classes etc. I would recommend you head over to microlancer and have someone get what you need done:)

Hi there, in responsive mode the cart is no longer showing. We are building out a commerce site that is geared toward mobile phones and iPad. Can you please advise how we can have the cart display in mobile view in the header like in the demo?

Hey mcollins,

When did it stop working? If it was out of the blue and only in your setup and not the demo then it sounds like there might be a plugin conflict or something that was changed on your setup to effect it. I would need you to open a ticket on the support forum with your URL so that I can take a look.

Thanks :)

Hi, I have not installed yet, and actually this theme is really not as good as I had first thought. Beautiful yes, but functional as an online store using WooCommerce no.

The drop down cart disappears from the header at 1080px down to 380px. So the shop will be quite useless on a mobile device unless someone uses the cart widget in a sidebar, in which becomes quite useless as well since the sidebar cascades to below the content of the page.

Hopefully you can find a solution to this issue.

When viewing the cart “page” in iPhone the quantity buttons are no longer the nice square + and -, they are pushed to one side in small ugly circles.

In your demo, you can add something to the cart and the only notification is a little tick box in place of the cart button (not intuitive enough).. So when in the shop page on iPhone, you have added a product to the cart.. great, now what? There is no way to get to the cart for the end user. Not good, and really needs to be revised in this theme.

Your description describes the theme to be both responsive as well as built with “WooCommerce Support”. Well then with this recipe in the description, you would have to assume that the theme will work perfectly in responsive mode as an online store. So we have now an issue here, and am more disappointed that I have spent $55 to have to find that the description of the theme being “WooCommerce Support” is misleading.

As far as beautiful themes go with stunning features, this theme ranks well. but for end user in mind for intuitive shopping, the theme ranks very low (unfortunately). This theme being the 428th purchase from me here in Envato is of mixed feeling.

Please see this as constructive feedback in order to better develop this theme to a new level from where it sits now in support of WooCommerce in the mobile digital world we are in.

Thank you.

Ciaran

Hey Ciaran,

I’m sorry that you have discovered the theme is not as perfect as you would need it for WooCommerce mobile at this time. I have already made plans to add the cart in on mobile so the UX will be much easier. Until then you’re free to hold onto your copy and update when it’s out, or you can request a refund – you have my blessing.

Thanks for the feedback and sorry to disappoint

Great theme!

Using it currently for a client’s new website. Instead of “portfolio,” I need the copy “project(s).”

http://michaeljstump.com/jhatest1/portfolio/

1) Can I modify so that the URL structure will show ”/projects” instead of portfolio, both for the general page and for the individual portfolio pages.

2) Can I modify that top-left header on the main Portfolio page so that it says “Projects”?

Thanks!

Chris

Hey cpplunkett!

1. Yes you can modify the slug on the single portfolio items to say “projects”. There’s an option for this in the theme options panel > portfolio options tab. Once you’ve entered your new slug in just make sure to resave your permalinks in settings > permalinks for the changes to take effect :)

2. You can enter a title for the page to be whatever you want. When editing the page there’s a box near the bottom for “Page Header Settings”

Cheers

Perfect. Thanks! Got it worked out.

Great to hear! :)

Hi - Fantastic! Pre-sale question: Can I put a image-gallery inside a portfolio? Like several pictures to be scrolled/swiped with thumbnails? Also can i have both recent posts (lets say 3) and 3 items from latest portfolio showing on the front/home page? Thanks

Hey Web-Noob,

1. You would need to use a plugin for a slider with thumbnails at this point as this is the only one available for portfolios http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio/old-tv/

Hello ThemeNectar, is it possible to get theme file which is the same as live preview here on themeforest? This will help me a lot with customization, since Im beginner. Thanks much for your help

Eh, first speaking then searching… I found it from your tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wKJFYCZN1U Thanks :)

You’re very welcome! I’m glad you found the answer in my videos :)

Hi there I have a huge problem! Just suddenly I dont know what happened but when I enter the page it works perfect but after entering one other page from the header menu the menu dissapears!!! I dont know how to fix this and I need help – see www.amandasedgwick.com

Best, Goran

The issue is the version you’re on was meant for WordPress 3.5 – when 3.6 came out they upgraded the jQuery library version which removed some functions the theme used – the current error you’re getting is from the superfish.js file located in the js folder. Try overwriting it with one from a freshly downloaded Salient so you have the new one. (Make a backup up the file first in case it doesn’t work)

Cheers!

Simple as that now it works! Thanks!

You’re welcome! :)

Hello – can you send instructions for adding the shortcodes?

Hey Eric! Please see this tutorial in regards – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKGIs0MjSag

Great thanks!

Hi – nice theme. Are you open to paid customisations on this theme?

Thanks Eric!

Unfortunately I do not have time for side gigs at the moment, but since microlancer is offering WordPress customization now I would highly recommend heading there for your needs :)

Cheers

AH OK GREAT THANKS!

You’re welcome!

I am really looking forward to buying and working with this theme. I just wanted to ask if there were any examples of what the menu pulldowns would look like 2 levels deep? Or is the look something that can be customized?

Thanks!

Hey marhue! Here’s a screenshot demonstrating a nested dropdown for you :)

http://i.imgur.com/YRmXvUs.jpg

That’s perfect. Thanks!

Is there a way to insert an image for the background? I can’t seem to find it anywhere in my wp-admin. Thanks!

Hey joinfof! You can either use a fullwidth background shortcode or rely on custom css such as

.container-wrap {
   background-image: url(YOUR-IMG)!important;
}

I posted a question earlier about the tweet button not working correctly,

here is the url

http://cameronleahy.com/portfolio/design-everyday-3/

Hey cptnyr, it’s weird it’s not posting your URL along with the page title. If you open a private ticket on the support forum with your login info I would better be able to diagnose the reason :)

Thanks!

Hi,

Is it possible to adjust how big the logo shows up on mobile devices?

Hello

I’m probably being stupid but I can’t seem to show 4 featured products in 4 columns, the most it will let me to show is 3 columns and it drop the fourth onto another row?

Many thanks

Hey hostchilli! I believe this is actually a bug of the theme when using the WooCommerce shortcodes outside of a WooCOmmerce page. The four column class I have in the css is too specific and only will function properly on a WooCommerce page where the class woocommerce is on the body. To remedy this for now, you can add your shortcode inside of a div with that class in the text tab on your editor i.e.
<div class="woocommerce">SHORTCODE HERE</div>

Hello! Thanks for wonderful theme (again!)

I have a semi silly question. In the “general salient settings” to add google analytics, is it possible to add more than ONE tracking code: ie, if you have 4 pages that you want to track, instead of just the HOME page. OR does it need to be inserted in each individual page?

(while waiting for your answer, will test it out first thru wp, before opening up each individual page to insert the tracking code manually to each page)

Thanks.

meic01, you can actually place your scripts directly in the text tab on your editor for each of your pages – no need to place anything inside of the theme files :)

Cheers

i looked, but was searching for something that didn’t exist. Thanks for the redirect, YODA! you’re THE best!! so is your theme!

Thanks a lot! Cheers

This looks like a beautiful theme and I think i will purchase it. Before I do though I just need to check… Do the colour options include the ability to style it as a dark site. My clients requirement is that the site is black. Many thanks

Hey mmagenta69! A dark skin will be coming an update soon! For now it would require custom css.

Cheers

Thanks. a dark skin update will be great, but I may delve into the css as its perfect otherwise. Thanks for your answer

No problem! Cheers mate :)

Hey ThemeNectar -

Is it possible to turn off the rollover on Portfolio images so your only option is to see ‘more details’? I have found that on iPad it can be confusing, and witnessed some users only using the “view larger” option, without knowing it.

That being said, I really love the theme! So great! Thanks!

Hey kevintudball, I’m very glad to hear you’re loving the theme!

Enter this into your custom css box in the theme options panel:

.portfolio-items .col .work-item .work-info a.pp {
   display: none!important;
}

Perfect! That worked. Thanks :)

You’re welcome!
