Hello! This is my favorite theme ever… and I’ve bought quite a few! I’m using it to build my own site – so obvious reasons I’ve gone with the best!
Recently, however, I noticed that my site is ‘stuck’ like half-way through a responsive design – even though the viewport is at maximum.
It’s causing the site to display strangely – like halfway responsive halfway the way it used to be.
I haven’t touched it in about a week and the last time I checked this issue came about… I’m not sure what’s causing it. Do you know what may be causing it?
Thanks a lot jtobkin! I would be glad to take a look for you mate 
Please just open a support ticket if you haven’y already and i’ll be with you as soon as I can!
Cheers
Is there a Multilanguage option on this theme so that i can either manually add different languages such as the WPML plugin or installing google translate on the site?
Hey clowd24!
There is a .po file that includes all the necessary strings to translate. If you need to run a multi-lingual site, than WPML is the way to go.
is the site WPML ready – meaning if installed will the buttons appear smoothly integerated on the site – same question on google translate as client prefers that over WPML
The buttons will indeed display correctly, you can see a few screenshots of that in the headers page on the live demo, as for Google translate – I have not tested that with the theme unfortunately.
my client is insisting that Google Translate work with the the Template – is there anyway to quickly verify and test this on the demo?
There is an existing plugin for this where you can simply insert a shortcode into wherever you need, i just want to make sure we can smoothly integrate this into the top menu….
http://wordpress.org/plugins/google-language-translator/installation/Hey clowd24,
I did a quick test with this for you and have confirmed it works as expected. I threw it in the top navigation by inserting this into the header.php file in a list item:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[google-translator]'); ?>
You’ll just need to make some styling up for the language selector dropdown of course.
Cheers!
How can I get my photos to be full width on a “full width” portfolio item? The photos are automatically being shunk to a small part of the screen. (example: http://soapbrand.com/portfolio/christianos-decor-photo-series/)
Thanks!
Also, I am noticing that the mac’s “webpage – back” gesture on the trackpad is not working when I am on the website. Any ideas?
Hey again,
1. You would need to use fullwidth section shortcodes, but I would suggest just placing these images in a nectar slider which you could set to fullwidth for organizational reasons.
2. The smooth scrolling feature disables this – if you would like to make that available just disable that feature in the options panel
Cheers
How do I use the full width section shortcodes? would I have to do a different section for each photo?
Correct, and since there won’t be any content inside of the section to give it height, you’ll need to give your images height with the use of padding.
Hello, wondering if is possible to change the “view larger” button on a portfolio item to “visit website” and link to a different website?
Hey danielaronson, you could change the text very easily but altering how the button links would require custom development – namely I new input field on the backend to enter your URL and the code to hook that up within the portfolio itself.
Cheers
Hi, Is it possible to link to the sections of the home page with a parallax effect? Thanks
Hey rousalia,
are you asking if you can link an entire full width section? If so, there’s no good way to do that without custom development. I would recommend just putting a button shortcode in the content.
What I mean is, can we have the same effect with the main menu? Example: when you hit “Contact Us” it would go to a contact form at the bottom of the page, using the parallax effect.
Is this possible? Thanks again!
You would need to use a plugin for animated scrolling to get that effect.
Cheers!
Thanks!
You’re welcome!
Oh, I just required a new problem. So sorry for my many questions, but I really appreciate your fast answers.
When I make a full with section with a background image, the image does not stay inside of the section (or resizes to it). Fx If need a full with image to appear at the top of a page. If I resizes it in photoshop, to fit my 21” computer, it goes out of proportions on my 15”, only showing a corner of the picture, as the rest seems to be out of the section.
help! What can I do, or what do I do wrong?
Cheers
No worries Barbara! Could you please share your url to where this happens so I can see what you mean better?
Cheers
The picture at the top of the page goes outside of the screen, only showing about 2/3 of the original image. (This is when I look at it on a 15” screen) The picture is sort of zoomed in, being too big for the screen. But, when I look at the site at a bigger screen size, I can see the whole picture as it should be.
I really do need my site to compatible with all screen sizes.
Thx!
I get it now, thanks for the URL – essentially since the full width sections use background images through css rather than actual img tags, there’s no height to them at all other than the content inside of the section or what you define the padding to be. There’s no responsive logic to scale the padding yet for image backgrounds, but I’ll try and get that in the next version.
What is “call to action”? Cheers!
Second thing: Why I can not Disable AJAX search? If I fill this option in the options panel it still doesn’t work. Please help me.
and the most important thing: Why Masonry Fullwidth Blog doesn’t work in the newest version?
I mean I have posts but in the main blog page (Masonry) my posts are invisible and if I’m lucky and find some title I can click and open post, but can not see it on the main blog page. What’s happened?
Hey k_bednarczyk,
1. The call to action section is the bottom bar right above the footer where you can configure a global callout text/button that will appear throughout your site. It’s usually used to drive the main purpose of your site. e.g. “Ready to make the move? Sign up now!” etc.
2/3. The option to disable the AJAX search should work, but there’s a bug that causes the masonry blog to not work when it’s turned off, just leave it on for now so everything works – I am going to be releasing a patch very soon to fix that!
Cheers
Thanks! Now Masonry works! I really like so much this theme
Great and I’m glad to hear that!
Your shortcodes generator isn’t working for a number of people including me (just getting white screen) who have posted on your support forum. Seems you are more responsive here where prospective buyers can see so will post here now.
Have tried everything in the FAQ support to fix the issue with no result. Without this generator this theme is worthless to me, esp since there are no shortcodes listed in the documentation. Please help. Thanks.
Just emailed you FTP credentials to check it out. Already a day behind in dev on this site so any help would be great! Thanks.
Hello WINNER,
I’m sorry that you think I am more responsive here, but the reality is I have been working both the forum and comments all day for the past two days since I finally got 2.1 up. There just so happens to be a massively bigger queue in the forum because that’s where you’re actually supposed to post questions. Questions there often take much longer than here as well due to the nature of them. 24 hours is the standard response time for tickets, but due to the higher volume within the past 5 days, it’s more. I am working my hardest to get to serve all of them and have also posted here apologizing for any delays.
I’ll be with you as soon as I can
Hi,
I just want to confirm the update process. Downloading the new version, deactivate and remove the current version, and upload the new version. Is that correct? How would I keep my changes? Like my pages, sliders, and few of the css changes?
thanks.
Hey kaifanun! That’s correct
As long as you have not modified the files directly there’s nothing to do – all of your content and theme settings will persist through the update.
Cheers
Hello ThemeNectar,
I was wondering if you plan to add a Twitter Widget or lightbox to the theme in the near future?
Also maybe in your demo pages incorporate a single page layout with your paralax headings?
Thanks
Hey eHerbi,
1. No twitter widget planned yet, I usually would recommend leaving this to a plugin.
2. There already is a lightbox and you can use it on any link by simply adding the class “pp” to it. e.g.
<a class="pp" href="MY_LARGER_IMG_SRC"><img src="MY_IMG_SRC" /></a>
3. I can’t include those images, but turning the effect on a page header is just one click to the checkbox in the page header settings box found on every page.
Cheers!
Hello! How do I remove the google maps from the contact page? Also how can I change the logo size of the mobile version with a little bigger one? Kind regards, Lifelover
Hey lifelover!
1. Rename the file page-contact.php to anything else so it does not apply.
2. See this in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/46745/search/
Thank you very much for your fast replay. Have a good evening!
You’re welcome and you too!
Hi ThemeNectar, sorry for a lot of question.
Where I have to change to my images appears a little lower? Like Im editing: http://i.imgur.com/lLtaceW.png
When I publish I got this:
http://i.imgur.com/JrxieDY.pngThanks!
Oh, another question hehe. Im trying to load jQuery on <head> </head> tags. Where I need to go?
Hey luckskywalker,
1. I’ll need to see your url where this is to check the code out for you
2. Why would you need to load jQuery? It’s already being loaded in by default and altering that with your own version is highly discouraged from WordPress.
1- Well, Im editing my website, so ignore most things. http://lolguardian.com/761/ When you finish, tell me, Im using Coming Soon plugin.
2- I want to add this jQuery: http://calebjacob.com/tooltipster/ Look the first step “load jQuery and include Tooltipster’s CSS and JavaScript files inside of your tags:
1. Add this to your custom css box:
.single .row .col img {
margin-bottom: 0px!important;
}
2. The jQuery library is already loaded so skip that and continue with “include Tooltipster’s CSS and JavaScript files inside of your tags:”
Cheers
Thanks ThemeNectar, you are awesome, serious! Just more one thing. Witch file I have to edit, to include this stuffs?
The header.php
Hi, in header.php there are those declaration:
<!doctype html> <head <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
but there’s no the opening tag !! Are you sure that you haven’t forgot it?
there’s no di html opening tag
Hey hinetsrl12, technically that won’t be marked as an error through W3C, but I will add it in the minor update being pushed soon! Surprised you’re the first to ever mention it 
Cheers
There is default way, like a shortcode to use “Read More” on posts?
Hey luckskywalker! You can add the Read More button by either filling out the except box or adding a More tag from the button on the editor: http://alexmansfield.com/wpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/more.jpeg
Thanks very much!
Cheers!
How do you change the color of the website title in the header?
Hey spectaclegaze! Are you referring to the default title that will be used in the logo area when you don’t opt for an image? If so, here’s a css snippet:
header#top #logo {
color: #f7653c!important;
}
Thanks for the response. I’m a bit of a noob so where exactly do I put the code. Is it in the style.css file? I tried putting it into the 3rd section of the header and search bar styles but it didn’t work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
You can place this in your custom css box which is located in the general settings tab in your theme options panel. Also, if you can’t get it to go through please share your URL
Cheers
Awesome, it worked. Thanks.
Great! You’re welcome
Hi there! I’ve purchased this theme and I love it! It’s really great
I have one question: is it possible to show only 3 “widget areas” in the footer instead of 4? My website consists mostly out of 3 columns and I would like to see that the footer matches that.
Thanks in advance!
Hey Jetmediadesign! Yes, there’s an option to select your footer columns inside of the footer options tab in the theme options panel
Cheers
Hi,
don’t know if this has already been asked, but i see a lot of aliasing on the videos when they’re embedded in a portfolio page.
Is there a way to optimize this? Are they always the same resolution?
Thanks in advance and really really good work on the theme!
Hey ultramodo, I have not heard complaints about such – I assume the aliasing you speak of is because of the responsive nature of the iframes which change sizes with the different layouts for wide desktop, small desktop, iPad & phone. Can I get your URL where you notice this?
Cheers
For technical reasons i can’t do urls, but i can do imgur 
Not saying this is your fault. Just maybe you know a way to fix it. Screenshotting the site i get something like 1087 width for the videos.
Maybe a way to limit scaling to a fixed size? Video content SHOULD always be scaled by a factor of 16, and uneven resolutions are always bad..
So yeah, thanks for the reply!
The iframes are always scaling in the same aspect ratio, I think the issue you’re seeing might be from playing a video with too high of res that gets scaled down to fit the player when it’s not in full screen. Are your videos full 1080p?
blame it on the downscaler
but they are 1080p. that’s what i thought too. since they look better on mobile devices there might be little you can do for me.
thinking with bandwidth in mind, would it be possible to deactivate the fullscreen button on a player?
Yes, but are you using the self hosted route or placing embeds? Let me know and i’ll help you get rid of that button
Cheers
self hosted. which should be easier i guess?
since this seems to be a lengthy discussion i would like to carry this over to the aforementioned forum. where would a person find that?
Good man! Here’s the link http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
You can see some other stuff also here
and check this effect for pages also: http://demo.qodeinteractive.com/satellite/page-fade-updown-transition/
Also i like in some portfolios when you scroll down continue loading more images automatically instead of change to a next page!
Hey mzuker,
1. I’ll consider it for future updates
2. Yes, that feature will most likely see its way into a later release
Cheers!
and 3?
My 2. was to your third question because the first two were regarding a similar request
Hello ThemeNectar !
I send you a pre-purchase mail a few days ago, but I finally make the move and buy it _
Congratulations for this awesome Salient theme, it’s the most advanced and beautiful theme I ever seen. Since the first release I wanted to buy it, but I already made to much customization to my current theme to make the move. Finally I bought Salient.
Please be so kind to answer my questions, I’m dying to use your theme with some customization.
1 — I take a quick look in the CSS file (v2.1) and I see the font “OpenSans” is hosted on the server. Why don’t use Google font hosting ?
3 — Can I easily use the milestones numbers effects to show my Facebook fans or twitter followers ? I know how to implement the Facebook and Twitter API, I just need the effect. I see in the documentation milestones work with shortcodes, but is that possible to use a class or something on a elements to have the animation ?
Thank you very much for the time you take to read and reply to my questions.
Best regards.
Rico
Hey Rico!
Sorry for not getting back to you via email – I prefer to channel all questions to either this comments page or the support forum. I will only use email if I request a buyer to mail me personally with sensitive information.
1. The default font is the only one included locally and will not be used one custom fonts are selected. I did it for simplicity at the time.
2. If you’re comfortable populating the number to animate to you can use this html markup to get the effect anywhere you please
<div class="nectar-milestone"> <div class="number extra-color-1">65</div> <div class="subject">Awards Won</div> </div>
Thank you very much for your informative replies. I’ll do my best to don’t bother you as I imagine you’re very busy.
Have a nice day.
You’re welcome Rico!
Hey once again themenectar,
I’m trying to find out how you all achieved the middle section on the mobile weather app page? (http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266) The section right about the milestone counter and right underneath the “A Mobile Project” and “Our Approach” section. I’ve looked at all of your tutorials as well as through previous comments and I can’t figure out how you achieved (1) the text right next to the animated image and (2) the ipad image on the righthand side.
I’ve tried the shortcodes that I’m knowledgeable about and nothing’s working.
Hey bosueke, have you imported the dummy data file? That includes the entire setup and you could easily see how it’s done and learn form that or just use it and modify the content to fit your needs.
The iPad image is actually a background image on a full width section shortcode and the text is sitting in a one half column shortcode inside of the full width section. There’s alos an empty one half last to hold the empty space and allow you to see through to where the iPad is.
Got it, thanks. I don’t yet know how to import dummy data but I’m sure the answer is somewhere within this commenting forum, thanks once again.
You’re welcome and the answer is right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wKJFYCZN1U
Cheers
Got it, you never disappoint. Thanks!
You’re very welcome!
