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?

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!

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

You would need to use a plugin for animated scrolling to get that effect.

Cheers!

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

:)

Here is the url to my frontpage: http://barbaraisaksen.com/wordpress/

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!

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.png

Thanks!

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 :p

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!

How do you change the color of the website title in the header?

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!

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/

Please add Ajax when changing pages like this theme: http://demo.qodeinteractive.com/satellite/
You can see some other stuff also here :)

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.

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!

Is it possible to use the “portfolio recent projects” visual with regular pages? Like you did on the first page of the demo where it says “Recent Work We’ve Completed For Our Amazing Clients”, but then put some thumbnail and a link to a page instead of to a portfolio work.

Hey blenderano, you can use that shortcode on any regular page, but you can’t alter how the items link – they will always link to portfolio items.
