Hey anagcan!

The only place that the social media icons can be activated through the theme options in the header is the secondary navigation. You can configure this in your header options tab within the theme options and can see examples of this here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/headers/

Cheers!

Hey Jon!

The nectar slider can be placed anywhere and is the correct way to call a slideshow of images in any given location. It doesn’t have to be full width either, the slider is pretty flexible with its configuration options

Hey Ana,

You can update by downloading a fresh copy from ThemeForest, deleting the current version you have on your server and uploading the new. I recommend using FTP, but you can use the WP dashboard if you prefer. You won’t lose any of your content or theme settings so don’t worry about that if you were

Hello,

I attempted uploading the new copy via the WP dashboard, but I kept receiving the message, “The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.”

Thanks.

Answered now with the solution to your problem

Your level of support and skill are unparalleled! Thank you kindly! There needs to be a web based tip jar on the support page. Since there isn’t, I will need to by another copy of Salient for my other site.

Wow thanks a lot Jon! I’m so glad I have been a great help to you

Cheers mate!

Thanks! I’ll be with you soon

I updated the info from ticked

Great!

You’re welcome!

It’s a possibility but no plans for that have been set yet.

Cheers

Thanks ThemeNectar.

You’re welcome

Hi ThemeNectar, Sorry. I found that the issue was with the file permissions. I changed the file permissions and W3 Total Cache indeed works now. But the styling in the mobile devices seems to be skewed. Any ideas or advice?

Thanks

Hi ThemeNectar, It was a caching issue. Now I have the same problem in Google pagespeed insights. Any other possible way of deferring those scripts ?

Hey deepakkumarv,

you would need to minify all those scripts using W3, there’s an option to do it but it should be done as a manual process. The tutorial I linked you a bit ago covered this actually.

Hey llirik! For future inquires please use the support forum – this page is just for pre purchase questions, simple questions & of course comments!

1. The theme automatically sizes to 16:9 because that’s by far the most common ratio and needs to have a base set for responsive sizes. To change this, open your style.css and locate the rule ”.iframe-embed”. Modify the padding-bottom to change the overall sizing for the videos.

2. Would need to see a URL for this – there’s no known issue regarding this so I suspect something weird at play.

3. If you are using a parallax header with sortable categories and your header is smaller than your dropdown, browser glitches can occur. Therefore it’s recommended to either make sure your parallax header is not smaller than your portfolio dropdown or to not use the parallax option.

4. All the images should get hard cropped at the exact same size. Did you have some images on your server that you’re using prior to installing Salient? The sizes get created when an image is uploaded but obviously Salient must be active for this to happen. Any images that you’re using from before Salient was active will not have the correct sizes created. To recreate the sizes for all images to ensure they’re the same height you can use a plugin like this http://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/ to avoid re uploading any images.

Cheers

Hey there, thanks for the reply.

1. how am i able to have varying heights? some videos are 2.35:1 but some are still the 16:9 ratio.

2. www.llirik.com – you’ll see it there on the main page.

3. Is this not possible to fix by setting the z-index to be higher? a similar issue occurs with the sidebar and the footer if its too long (ie, ont he accordion). you can see what i mean here: www.llirik.com/portfolio/just-one-cookie

4. tried that plugin. no change http://www.llirik.com/portfolio

1. You would either need to disable the responsive sizing for videos so that you can define the width/height or you could have to make a new css class for videos outside of the 16:9 ratio to size them differently.

2. Very weird, the script isn’t working for that for some reason on your setup. I’m assuming you’ve already ruled out plugin conflicts? If so, make note of this on the ticket I’ve request you open as well.

3. You could fix the accordion layering issue with z-index (enter this into your custom css box):

.container-wrap {
   z-index: 20!important;
}

But you can’t fix the sorting dropdown with z-index because some browsers like safari won’t respect the stacking order of it since it’s nested within elements that must be set to a lower z-index than the main content div.

4. Are you using the featured image for all of them? If you upload an image into the custom thumbnail box there will be no cropping done – in that case it’s all up to you to upload the same sized images. If you are using the featured image though and it’s still no cropping please open a private ticket up on the support forum with your info so I can check the setup out myself

Cheers

Hey themanlifestyle!

1/2. Unfortunately there’s no quick way to do this at this time. You would have to take on custom development work in order to achieve good results. You could consider having someone at http://www.microlancer.com/ wrap it up for you if you really need it.

header#top nav ul li a {  color: #000!important;}

body, body .container-wrap, body .home-wrap {
  background-color :#fff!important;
}

#footer-outer { background-color: #666!important;}

Thank you

You’re welcome!

Hey k_bednarczyk! Have you watched the tutorial on using the Nectar Slider?

Your server is saying “HTTP “Content-Type” of “text/plain” is not supported. Load of media resource http://global-design.de/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/hd.webm failed.”

Try adding this to your .htaccess file in the root of your WordPress install:

AddType video/x-m4v .m4v
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType video/mp4 .mp4
AddType video/webm .webm

now is worked but the video is not full width

Upload your videos in 16:9 mate that’s what the scaling is set up for to make sure it’s always 100% width

Hey iCode4u! You can add the Contact 7 Form anywhere you want through the shortcode or use the widget for the bottom footer section if that’s what you were referring to

The link for that can be found in the new user guide of 2.05 Check out the bottom section titled “Dummy Data”.

Cheers!

Hey reactor!

Unassign the home layout from your page attributes box on your home page – that’s the only way the home slider gets placed

Hey linasz! Not yet without custom css unfortunately – I will try and add an option for a horizontal list in a future update

Not a known issue – please supply your URL mate

the url is: strategichosting.biz/strategic .. After watching the tutorial I understand how to add them for the regular pages (as i did for the Test Page). My trouble now is still with the home slider.

The home slider never had the option to have a full width video background or play videos automatically. This is a new feature that comes with the nectar slider..You can simply use that slider instead of the home slider by unassigning a home layout from your home page in the page attributes box and then placing a nectar slider shortcode on the page.

The issue is now fixed for anyone else who reads this. It turns out there indeed was unintended html wrapping the nectar slider shortcode, specifically a paragraph tag:

<p style="text-align: center;">[nectar_slider]</p>

Case closed!

Thanks Nectar

Cheers mate

Hey eugenelee223!

The link color should not be the same as the bg color – that sounds like an error. It should appear the same as it does on the live demo: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/blog/blog-masonry-fullwidth/

Please open a ticket regarding this I’ll check out your setup for you

Cheers!

Peter, If you want to put a slider underneath your video just use the nectar slider

Here’s a tutorial on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLU9Pxo_RD8
