About Woocommerce. I add some items in your cart and also another theme flatsome. The flatsome theme still got the items inside the cart after about 3 days, but yours is remove completely. It is add at the same day same time. Somehow your theme clear the items early than flatsome. Can you tell me whether you change the storing period or why this happen.

Sai2, the cart in Salient is using the information stored by WooCommerce itself to populate it – it’s not my own system. If the cookies are still set in your browser by WooCommerce the cart will persist, I still have products in my cart from over a week ago. I can’t say why you’re cookies were cleared for my site after 3 days, but it’s nothing to do with Salient.

Hi ThemeNectar,

do you now how i can change the “Read More” Button on the Blog Site into “next” maybe and

after the “Newest Blog entry” is automatically one link who give me a missing Site, do you now why or who i can fix it ?

Thanks a lot

Hey blende11,

1. You would need to edit the files inside of the includes/post-templates. Just run a search for “Read More” and change all occurrences of it :)

2. I’ll need to see a URL where this is happening so I can see what you’re referring to.

Cheers!

Hey there,

salient is great! this http://upload.tehran98.com/upme/uploads/8626a6fa12998f031.png is necessary for this great theme,isn’t it? user information is an important part that salient doesn’t have this part. please solve this problem.

Hey – nice name haha. Salient already offers a secondary top nav as you can see here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/headers/ but for things like a login form you would need a plugin. Maybe down the road that will become a standard feature though :)

Cheers

Hi Themenectar,

I recently discovered something. All my newly added products added using woocommerce plugin, when I hover over the thumbnails in the product archive page, I get “read more” text instead of the cart graphic that normally shows.

Additionally, for those products that have the read more text, no other woocommerce plugins work for them on the product page. So for example, the product add-ons extension doesn’t work. No extension works.

Please what could be the cause of this and I am demoing this thing tomorrow! Please assist!

Please never mind. I found the cause and fixed it.

Great to hear segunfak :)

Cheers

This is quite possibly the most well thought out and well designed template I’ve ever come across. I think I’ve just about unearthed all my pre-purchase questions except one. And this isn’t by any means a deal breaker but I just wanted to double check I wasn’t missing anything.

Once a break point occurs in the responsive layouts (or maybe it’s cause I’m testing on a phone and iPad…would that mean no Ajax?) I can’t figure out how to view my cart. The cart icon that appears in the upper right in full layout seems to be gone and I can’t find an alternate route to the cart.

Thanks in advance. Cannot wait to buy it!!

Thanks so much utesch, that means a lot!

I am actually going to be adding the cart in mobile in an upcoming update – it’s been on my to-do list for a little now and I think it’s time :)

As for getting to your cart now.. you can navigate to it the same way you would on any other theme that didn’t provide the extra ajax cart like I do on desktop – you’re presented with the option to go to your cart after adding something to your cart on each product detail page. For example, add this to your cart and you’ll get a blue bar at the top that lets you know it was added and gives an option to navigate to the cart: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/product/flying-ninja/

Cheers!

Got it, that sounds great. Another quick thought.. could I simply add a link directly to the cart (e.g. on your demo the link is http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/cart/) that appears in the header at smaller breakpoints? Without actually trying it, that seems like it would work to me.

You could add a link directly to it, you would just need to make that responsive rule to only show it in mobile.

Cheers :)

Also, while I’m at it, it looks like there’s some cropping of photos on an iPhone, rather than displaying the full width. (Such as on the About Me Page) Is this something I would define, or is it done automatically?

The page headers don’t scale the same as the sliders. They’re more relaxed and there will be clipping on the edges in order to preserve the font size within them to be larger. If you wanted to control how they size on mobile more specifically, you would need to use a little css :)

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar!

I’m a big-time newbie to all of this, and trying to choose the right theme. Yours is so lovely! Can you tell me a little bit about how different aspect ratios for photographs work in the slide shows and portfolios? It seems like everything on the demo is oriented horizontally/landscape, and nothing is oriented vertically/portrait. I need to display a mix of both. If I buy this theme, will I need to edit each portrait orientation to fit the existing aspect ratio or is there flexibility to display it as uploaded?

Sorry if this is super basic! Thanks!

Hey MelisaF!

The main slider will take whatever size you set it to and scale down appropriately throughout the different devices. It’s mostly used for wide/landscape images though. If you need to mix portrait images into slides where some other are landscape you would have to make the image in photoshop so that it’s a portrait but centered in the middle of a larger landscape photo. Or you could always seek another slider plugin.

Cheers

You’re welcome!

Hey there ThemeNectar! Apologies ahead of time if this is answered in here. I was just curious if there is added support to incorporate shop categories. I know there most likely is within woocommerce, but wondered if that would be supported (design wise) here if I broke out products into categories.. specifically thinking I’d love to have landing pages for each category. Thanks ahead of time!

Hey utesch, yes category pages are supported but if you’re trying to have a landing page for each, what you would do is create your own page using what ever elements you feel like that Salient provides (nectar slider, parallax header, etc.)_ and then simply use the WooCommerce shortcode to display a grid of products from your desired category below.

Cheers!

Hello ThemeNectar,

i have a problem, i uploaded a video ( webM format ) for the Nectar Slider. The video works on Google Chrome but not on Firefox, nor on Internet Explorer, nor on mobile phones.

Here is the website : http://www.nightlifecharleroi.be

What should i do ? Thank you.

Hey nvnz,

1. I can see your video loading in every time in Chrome.

2. The preview image will only appear but accompanied with play buttons in IE8 because that browser version used the flash fallback. IE9&10 will display normally like the other browsers.

3. I can also see your preview image on my Andriod phone, what are you using and what do you see?

I think all is correct now. I’ll contact you if i see a new problem. Thank you very much for your help ThemeNectar. :)

Great to hear & sounds good! Cheers

First off, it’s great to see such active feedback from the developer!

I was wondering if your theme was capable of having multiple differently styled portfolios. Say I want a photography section on my site with a 4 column layout, and a painting section with a 3 column layout… each with their own portfolio pieces.

Will your theme be able to do this?

Thanks!

Hey RockinAkin!

As of now you can only assign one portfolio style that will apply to all the portfolios you place – however I am extending the functionality of this and the blog in upcoming updates :)

Cheers!

Good to hear! – any ETA on the update that will enable this?

Not yet it’s hard to say, but I’m constantly working my hardest on theme updates so it shouldn’t be too long.

Having an issue.. posts are there, and can be seen normally and fine here, http://pixiedusthealing.com/pumpkin-cranberry-a-k-a-3-chakra-scones/

but if you try and view the blog page, nothing shows up at all:

http://pixiedusthealing.com/blog

I’ve checked permalinks, reading menu, theme settings, etc…. no success.

Hmm, nope, it’s there and fine, I just checked. I am not running any other caching plugins, but I’ll see if there’s an error somewhere else – thanks for the quick replies/support!

Sam, thanks a lot for sharing that! I’m sure another buyer will encounter this at some point and i’ll be able to direct them to the right place :)

Cheers

Is it possible for lightbox popups to have multiple photos like we do with the slider?

Hey pinkgerbil! Not yet, but it’s been noted for the road map :)

hi there!

I have the Home/Recent Work template activated for my homepage and the carousel shows up correctly but I can’t scroll forward/through it, like I can, say, in the team members carousel. I click on the arrow and it jumps to the top of the page. There’s probably a really obvious answer to this that i can’t see…

thx!

Hey anagcan!

1. You need to update to 2.1 – there was a slight bug with that layout prior to the release which caused the buttons to not work correctly.

2. Use this in your custom css box:
.sf-sub-indicator 
    left: auto!important;
    margin-top: -2px !important;
    position: absolute!important;
    right: 1px!important;
}

thank you! the update worked for the buttons, but the menu item is slight slightly below the rest. i’ve stacked the custom css along with the other custom css i already had in there, but it doesnt seem to do anything?

It appears the css I wrote for you is not getting applied on the front. If you open a ticket with your log in info I would be glad to check on it for you :)

Also, make sure when you pasted it in you didn’t paste in any pre tags around it too.

Cheers!

Hi ThemeNectar, How do I increase the main container width from 880px to 1050px without affecting the responsiveness of the site ?

Hey deepakkumarv,

The container width for wide desktop is already 1100px, if you’re seeing the 880 it’s because you’re on too small of a screen. If you alter the small desktop one, you’ll most likely create bugs by doing so.

I get it now. So how do I make the container to be more wider in all of the screens. Thanks.

You can control the various widths with in the responsive.css stylesheet (it’s located in the css folder).

Cheers!

Hi Themenectar really like you theme. just to let you know that there may be a bug with 2.1. I’ ve updated to 2.1 and it suddently seam to crash every time you open the site on my ipad 2. I added a retina ready logo, but i don’t know if this means anything.

Best

Jan

Hey Jan, I don’t know of any reason that could cause crashing on an iPad2 but unfortunately I on;y have an iPad mini to test on at the moment which works noirmally – I will try to get my hands on an iPad2 to see soon!

It actually works now, but it crashed like 5 times before it worked. Thanks for your reply.

You’re welcome and i’m glad it’s working!

In the testimony slider, how can I lower the padding between the name of the person, and the dots underneath?

Thanks!

Hey Daniel! You can add this into your custom css box:
.testimonial_slider blockquote p {
  padding-bottom: 2px!important;
}

That’s adding space between the quote and the name. How can I change space between the name and the dots? Thanks!!

Setting the padding to a low number such as 2 in my snippet above should not increase the space. The padding is 15 by default so anything lower than that should decrease the space. Can you please open a ticket in regards to this and post your URL so I can check it out?

Cheers

Is there a way to put 2 video on home slider?

For example, start one video. After that, another video appears and stay.

Because I want something like: my video presentation (first video), them stay some particles for example (second video).

Thanks.

Hey luckskywalker, unfortunately that would taken custom development. For now you’d have to place your videos on separate slides and let your users navigate through them.

Is the theme WPML ready? I have not seen in features and I need to do a multilanguage web.

Thank you in advance.

Hey javierojuel, I have not claimed 100% compatibility yet since I haven’t had time to test, but a lot of buyers use it to my knowledge.

Cheers

Good morning.

The Theme does not work properly in PHP 5.4.x, a standard that will soon spread. The problem with this is that you can not open the shortcodes generator.

Are you going to post you a solution to this problem?

Thanks

I’m now checking in 5.4 and can not see any errors, would you mind sharing what you found so I can try to see it?

Thanks

Good morning,

The problem is solved, thank you very much for your attention. In PHP 5.4 there is no concept of “safe_mode” is decraped. People need to ensure that the permissions are 755 (all wp-content folder) for a well-functioning shortcode generator.

Thanks

Good to hear! I’ve actually just recoded the generator to ensure permissions won’t be a factor anymore to save the small percentage of people that run into this from any extra work. The update will be out soon! Cheers

Wondering how I can get the font size larger in the home page slider on mobile? www.soapbrand.com

Hey daniel, you could add something like this into your custom css box:

@media only screen 
and (max-width : 690px) {
  body .swiper-wrapper .swiper-slide .content p {
    font-size: 10px!important;
    line-height: 18px!important;
  }
}

Your service is unprecedented. Amazing work on the theme and service. Best of luck!

That’s a lot! :)
