I have another question…

My website will have different types of blogs.

One blog is like a news feed, and I want to use a Standard style.

And the other blog is for my authors, who have each page for they. And I want this blogs Masonry style.

It’s possible?

Hey again luckskywalker,

currently that’s not possible as you can only assign the overall blog style in the admin panel which will apply for all your blog pages. It would require a bit of custom modding to the files to work the way you want.

Cheers

Hello team Salient

I have encountered an error in the website I am creating with the salient theme (which is great btw :) !!)

When first entering the site the fonts and icons are not displaying correctly (i.e. the font is times new roman instead of default, and the icons a square error blocks)). When you then navigate to a different page within the site the fonts and icons display correctly and continue to do so. This is ofcourse not desirable.

For the fonts I found a workaround, to force them on a specific font in the typography options panel. If you select arial for everything for example, the fonts display correctly every time. The icons however still continue to give errors.

Can you please help me fix this problem?

will do, thanks in advance :-)

I did it on http://themenectar.ticksy.com that was the idea right? ;-)

Yes, thank you!

I posted this on the support forum but have yet to receive a response:

LOVE the theme! So nice. A few problems I’m having though: 1. The Nectar slider looks great on Chrome, but every image on Internet Explorer is so magnified and looks really bad. This same issue occurred when I removed the slider and tried for a more traditional image header. 2. My friend looked at the site and said the Home navigation button was squished up against my logo in the top left corner. I experienced this issue on internet explorer. Any suggestions?

Also, on my Contact page (http://thesandiegomagician.com/contact/) there is a large area right above the full width colored bar that is blank. I tried putting in a header or image there and it is still blank.

Hey joshlondon, sorry for the delay – wrapping up 2.1 for later this week + the weekend caused a larger than normal queue to build up.

1. I’ve checked your link out in IE and see it displaying the same as other browsers. There is no known issue that has been reported that causes IE to zoom more on full width sections and sliders. They should scale the same in IE as they do in all other browsers. What you might be experiencing is the lack of resizing in IE8 because that’s the oldest version of IE Salient supports and it doesn’t understand background resizing so your image will display at the size you upload it.

2. Even in the small desktop display I can’t see your navigation hitting your logo, there’s still space between so I would need you to provide a screenshot of this occurring on that ticket you opened so I can see what you mean :)

Thanks!

Hi lovely theme!, quick question: Can the shop sell digital downloads? e.g. not collect shipping address, and integrate with Paypal or similar?

and the fonts can these be updated via the CMS in terms of size and type of font

many thanks Tim

Thanks Tim!

1. WooCommerce offers built-in functionality for handling digital goods. I would check more on that and see if it meets your needs – http://docs.woothemes.com/document/digitaldownloadable-product-handling/

2. Yes, you have control over the fonts and sizes through the admin panel :)

Cheers

I was unable to find the dummy-data.xml in the download folder for the 30 September 13 version 2.0.5.

Is this an oversight on my part? If not can you please email it to me? I’m on a tight schedule and my ticket on the support page hasn’t seen any activity.

Thanks!

Hey QkkPmbvK, my apologies for the delay on your ticket – as I’ve mentioned on here, wrapping up 2.1 + the weekend caused a larger than normal queue to build up.

The dummy data file is located right in the root of your download zip: http://imgur.com/fgR2qoJ You can always download the theme again now to get the contents again if you can’t find it in your original download for what ever reason. If you still prefer an email, just post your email address and I’ll send you it :)

Cheers

Thanks, that did it.

Good luck with the 2.1 update!

Thanks! :)

Cheers

Does the background autoplaying videos work only with uploaded videos? Or also with video providers like Youtube or Vimeo?

Also, is it easy to change the theme into a darker/black gray appearance? I’m considering using it for a fireworks website and the primary white colour isn’t the best choice for this scenario.

Looking good.

Hey ikonet!

1. The video backgrounds must be self hosted, for video embeds there’s an option to pop them open in lightboxes from buttons on the slider.

2. It would just require some minor css to alter the bg color / text + a few elements to the darker scheme.

Cheers :)

I’ve a basic question for you before to buy this item. Is possibile to create some portfolio pages with different categories for each? Example:
  • Portfolio Standard 1 that display ONLY. the portfolio cat. A;
  • Portfolio Masonry 2 that display ONLY. the portfolio cat. B;
  • Portfolio Page 3 that display ONLY. the portfolio cat. C;

Thank you for the information.

Best regards

Hey tccstudio,

currently that would require custom development as you can only assign one layout that will apply for your portfolio pages at the time.

Cheers

HI, sorry to bother you but am slowly getting there. http://thevirtualtouragency.com/ Where do i find the css to alter the slider left right tabs? Id like them and the arrow inside to be just a outline with no fill. OK, so ive altered site a bit but if you look on mobile, tours are offset, possible to centre them on mobile screen? Asking a lot on that i know but any help appreciated, thank you. Great theme!

Thanks, I’ll have a play! Thanks for an awesome product and fantastic support! Support beyond what you really have to offer. Keep it up, thanks again.

Thanks so much! :)

Nope, it has me beat!

Hi,

Congratulations for the template! I would like to know two questions: A) Where do I Change “All” from the drop down menu on portfolio search by category

B) When I scroll over a picture on my portfolio page it appears a blue square with: “VIEW LARGER” and “MORE DETAILS”

Where do I change this, I really need to do it since the website is in portuguese.

Thank you for your help, Pedro

The process of editing files for the theme will be – take the files you want to change off the server, edit them accordingly and then reupload them, overwriting the old files so the changes take place.

Also, instead of editing like that you can also use the editor inside of Appearance > Editor in your admin panel. Just be careful doing that because after you hit save you can’t go back

Really thank you for all the help. As we say here obrigado (thanks)

You’re very welcome!

Cheers

Hello Nectar!!

I have updated a ticked 3 days ago (Ticket #104081) and still no answer, do we know if there is something wrong?

Best regards :)

Hey Jiba! Sorry for the delay – I have been trying to get to all the tickets that built from the weekend (I don’t serve many tickets on the weekend) & I am working hard finishing up 2.1 so it can be ready by the weekend :)

Thanks for your patience – I’ll be with you tonight for sure!

Hi, hopefully something simple I have.

i have set the top slider on the home page to fixed hight to 500. Now there is a big space between the slider and the 4 column text with icons. On the HTML page there is a DIV that calls for css element.style I’m able to adjust it on firebug and get results I’m looking for. However, can’t find the actual tag on style.css there is no element.sytle. can you please let me know where I should find it. Or is there a much easier way changing this settings.

sorry… figured it out.

No worries :) Glad you sorted it.

Hello oh Great One!

Back to fiddling with features to find the right balance in test-mode. I noticed something – when I set the font size for the testimony sliders – they don’t seem to change. They get to about 14pt, then stop…and I’d really like to make the one liner’s easier to read.

Suggestions?

Having a LOT of fun, you know. Never had so many options before. Love it.

-Jaime

Hey Jaime, I’m glad to hear you’re loving it!

1. If you want to adjust the size for testimonial slides, enter this snippet into your custom css box and adjust the values to whatever you desire :)
body .testimonial_slider blockquote {
   font-size: 26px!important;
   line-height: 44px!important;
}

2. Yes, you can create your own call to action section by using the full width shortcode as I have done in various places throughout the site. Here’s one you can paste directly into the text tab on your editor and play with (you can switch back to the visual tab after pasting):

[full_width_section bg_pos="Left Top" bg_repeat="No-Repeat" text_color="Light" image_url="" top_padding="60" bottom_padding="35" background_color="#F6653C"]
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Get creative with full width color sections anywhere you want! [button color="See-Through" size="medium" url="" text="A Button!"]</h2>
[/full_width_section]

Thanks so much!

You’re welcome!

One more thing: How do I properly display woocommerce categories using shortcodes? When i add this shortcode, [product_category category=”hats”] to a page, it shows a scattered grid of items in that category.

I especially need to add this to full width portfolio pages.

The URL fields for those are located inside of the Social Media Options tab. Also, remember to add in “http://” to all your social media links to make them work appropriately on the front :)

Cheers!

OK. Looks like I watched an old video tutorial. Man, you’re awesome. Keep up the good work. Do let me know when you have another business-oriented theme available.

Cheers!

Yeah, sorry about the confusion – some of the tutorials were shot a couple months ago and a few items have moved around since then.

I will most certainly let you know when I release new themes – just follow me on ThemeForest and you can get updates :)

Cheers mate!

Hi ThemeNectar,

Please I am using this mainly for an ecommerce site. Please is there a way to increase the number of shop/product archive columns from 3 to 4 while the sidebar is still present?

Also, I need the portfolio thumbnails to link directly to subcategories for my products when clicked. Is this possible? If yes, how?

Hey segunfak!

1. Add this to your custom css box in the theme options panel:

body.woocommerce .main-content .span_9 ul.products li.product, body .woocommerce-page  .main-content .span_9 ul.products li.product {
   width: 23%!important;
}
.woocommerce ul.products li.first, .woocommerce-page ul.products li.first {
  clear: none!important;
}
 .woocommerce .main-content ul.products li.product.last {
  margin-right: 2%!important;
}
.woocommerce ul.products li:nth-child(4n+5) {
 clear: both!important;
}

2. This would require custom development,but another way you could accomplish this would be to simply create a standard page and use the column shortcodes to hold images that you could link directly to categories in your store.

Thanks for this Mr. themenectar. It works excellently well. Your theme and your work is awesome!

Thanks so much segunfak, that means a lot to me :)

Hey, I have Pre purchase question. I would like to have a one-page scrolling site. Is it easy to set up?

Thank u!

Hey AlbatiQue! You would need a WordPress plugin for animated scrolling since Salient is not a true one page theme.

Cheers

I love this theme, but why when I use heading in this type: class=”light” I don’t have polish letters like ?, ?, ó? I’ve choosen latin characters in typography options, but it doesn’t work :( Please, help me. Thanks!

Hey k_bednarczyk!

The default font doesn’t include ext. Latin chars, but I’ve finally taken care of this for 2.1 with the new typography options panel. Please wait a few days and you’ll have the option to include those characters in for the default theme font or choose from over 600 other Google fonts :)

Cheers

Great! Thanks! I will be waiting for 2.1 :)

Sounds good!

Hello, I really want to buy your theme, but I have a few questions.

1. My website gonna be a News feed(blog) page. But, also will have others blog page with other author in other pages.

For example:

MENU

-Home -News feed (blog page) – blogpost Autor: Pedro – blogpost Autor: Jonas -Contact -Guides —-Jax (subpage from Guides) – blogpost – blogpost —-Ammy (subpage from Guides) – blogpost – blogpost —-Dennys (subpage from Guides) – blogpost – blogpost

In other words. blogpost from Dennys, have to just appear on Dennys Page. And, News feed, have to appear just posts from Leon and Jonas.

Got it? :D:D

Other question:

2. I will implement on a page, a system that uses API. So I have to edit some code in PHP / HTML. Is this possible?

Please, I need to know this fast.

Thanks a lot.

Hey luckskywalker,

Your questions seem to be general inquiries about WordPress rather than questions specifically about Salient, but I’ll answer the accordingly.

1. You can create nav links that go directly to authors pages or category pages. Here’s an example http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/author/themenectar/ I’m obviously the only author on the demo site, but you get the point and now can see the URL structure. WordPress automatically creates these pages for you, all you need to do is make the nav items :)

2. You can create a page template in the theme which you can assign to any page you desire. You’re free to code whatever you like in it.

Cheers!

You’re welcome :)

I liked this theme but I want to know something. There is only one menu to choose the portfolio categories. I want more than one category filter menu in portfolio page. Whether it would be??!

Hey Masoud_ke! There’s only one sortable dropdown at the moment – additional dropdowns for multi-attribute sorting would require custom development.

Okay, another question .. when u rate a post like what’s shown here ( http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/blog/ ) .. why is it possible to rate it like 4 times if u kept clicking the heart ?! is it just for the demo or it’s a problem with the theme itself ?!

cheers :)

Hey Yamirasu! That’s a slight bug as the button only becomes inactive after the ajax request has successfully completed – spamming clicking the heart before it’s done will allow multiple loves at this time. However, I’ll patch that up right now and include the fix in 2.1 – by the time you read this it will already be a thing of the past :)

Cheers!

Hi,

Congrats on a superlative theme. Would it be difficult to add masonry galleries? Also, is it possible to enlarge the size of the fonts in the header?

(You’ve probably been asked these questions many times before, there are just so many comments to read. Do you have an FAQ section?)

Thanks!

Just to amend my earlier query, is it possible to change the font size in other areas of the theme not just the menu header (e.g., side bar info, post text, post title, etc…)

And would it be possible to have a filter and a search box above the post items on the “Blog Masonry Fullpage” (instead of relying on using a sidebar)?

Thanks again!!

Hey mwhite8216!

Masonry galleries would require custom development but you have control over the typography sizes throughout the theme. You can indeed change the size of the nav items and headers separately etc. In regards to your last query – having a filter above the posts would also require custom mods to the files as there’s no option for this by default.

Cheers
