Hi,
I am very interested in purchasing this theme. We just need clarification on what files are included exactly. Ideally we require the PSD files to design from. Does this theme come with the PSD’s and if not are they available at all?
Thanks
Hey gtcreate,
there’s no PSD’s available because there’s hardly any images used in the theme now. It’s all css + icon files. So simply taking a screenshot and importing it into Photoshop would be almost as useful for mockup purposes.
Cheers
Ok, cheers. Thought that may be the case but thanks for your reply. Will be purchasing asap. Great theme btw.
Thanks a lot & cheers to you too! 
Hi ThemeNectar!
tiny bug – in safari 6.0.5 looking at blog masonry view, bottom line showing below date and hearts.
also i’ve noticed “Posted by ThemeNectar” on every post. Is there a way to edit this content / remove / replace? The admin most likely will contribute all the posts, so it would be nice to have something else…
Hey 4054!
1. Thanks for mentioning – I’ll take a peek into it
2. You can edit that inside of the files located in the includes/post-templates directory. Just run a search for this line:
<?php echo __('Posted by', NECTAR_THEME_NAME); ?> <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?>
and do whatever you please with it
Cheers
Hello,
I tried to use Nectar slider but it doesn’t show up any image or video. just keep showing little circle. How can i fix this problem?
http://plastic-irony.com/Hey featjhs, you need to either update your theme to 2.1.5 or update your WordPress to 3.6+
Either will fix your issue
Cheers
I’ve updated already. still doesn’t work
Whoops, it appears there’s a typo that is stopping the mediaelement fallback from loading in outdated WordPress versions. I’ll take care of that for the next release, so for now please update your WordPress to have access to the built-in video player which the nectar slider relies on.
OK. thanks for answering.
No problem, also – I just doubled checked the file and typo should actually be fixed as of 2.1.5
Are you sure you were using that version and not just 2.1?
Cheers!
Yeah, i’m using 2.1.5
Somehow your functions.php doesn’t match the one available for download – maybe it’s cached or being overwritten by a child theme? Doesn’t really matter for you now since updating to 3.6 also fixes the problem i’m just pointing it out
Cheers
I purchased Salient for a corporate website – I personally find this to be the best theme ever made, so hats off to you folks.
I am considering another regular license to use for a magazine website. How hard would it be to restructure the blog section of things? Adding formats to posts (video vs. gallery), adding a review system, review plugins, author pages, etc.
Just wanted to know if you folks are planning on releasing anything in the future that would make the theme good for magazine/editorial websites? I don’t mind going through the lengthy process of fiddling with the theme, but I feel I may ruin certain components of the theme.
Hey afem1010, thanks so much!
There may be updates targeted at this, but for now I have a few other things I have to focus on first. As you already know, you’ll need to use plugins for some of the functionality you’re seeking – but as long as you know what you’re doing, you shouldn’t run into any big problems. Just the need for styling and implementation of the plugin functions in certain areas of the theme files
Cheers!
hi! future purchaser here!
In the blog section – if I use masonry layout, will square jpgs as the picture (say instagram 612×612) will it remain that proportion format size – or will it crop it a wide format 612×500.
I’d prefer it remain the same proportion size, just reduced to 250×250.
Thanks!
Hey 4054!
There is no hard cropping in the blog section for featured images so your uploads will retain their proportions, just resize down
Cheers
Hello, Nice theme but the “scroller” is really to fast.
Is it possible to make the scroll of the page a little bit slower?
Thanks OnlineThemes,
You can change that in the javascript (just one paramter) or deactivate the smooth scrolling in the theme options panel.
Cheers
Cool !
Your smooth scrolling is much more smooth today have you change the speed of it ?
Hello – Know i have bought the theme, Where can i change the parameter to smooth the scrolling?
Great to hear OnlineThemes!
1. I actually didn’t change the speed of it – it’s always been the same since day one..maybe your browser was just lagging a bit the other day?
2. If you want to alter the speed – open up the init.js file located in the js folder, run a search for “niceScrollInit” to end up at the relevant section and you’ll see the entire configuration object to alter to your taste
The values for “scrollspeed” & “mousescrollstep” will be the main ones to effect what you’re after.
Cheers!
On the demo, your parent pages are unclickable. How do you make them like that for this theme?
Thanks again.
Hey PointPerGame,
when editing your menu in Appearance > Menus you can insert custom page links and put a # for the link input field instead of a URL. See this screenshot for clarification: http://i.imgur.com/p1ETv6K.jpg
Cheers
This still brings up a new window of the same page.
Heres my site for example: http://www.pointpergame.com
Hey,
for some reason your site is only not working correctly with that on your home page. Starting on another page for example: http://pointpergame.com/archived-picks will yield the correct behavior. Please open a ticket regarding this so I can investigate further
Cheers
Love the template. Thank you for developing.
Under a portfolio page, with full width layout selected and hide the featured image two things:
1. Is it possible to add a photo gallery with a slider? 2. How do you add an embedded video where you want to in the post?
Thanks!
Hey theneff!
1. You can either use the regular gallery feature by inserting a standard WordPress gallery into your page and checking the box for “Gallery Slider” in the Project Configuration box or you can simply place a nectar slider shortcode in your editor and use that.
2. You can just paste your embed code where you please in the text tab on your editor and it will display.
Cheers!
Appreciate the quick response. I’ve created the gallery, I have option selected in the config section, but on the front end it’s blank. The gallery shows up as a table of thumbnails when the option for “Gallery Slider” is not clicked. But I’d like to use the slider functionality. Please advise.
theneff, I’ll test this soon – there might be a conflict with the full width portfolio layout and that slider from you’re describing but the nectar slider definitely won’t have any issues so I would suggest using that for the time being.
Thank you sir. The nectar slider does work. Would love the option to use the gallery slider as well. Please keep in touch if and when you discover a solution.
Of course theneff, thanks for raising this!
My wordpress keeps disconnecting. It gives this messaeges over and over, which is really anoying to work with.
Might be a plugin, or the theme. But is this familiar to you?
Error is:
Connection lost. Saving has been disabled until you’re reconnected. We’re backing up this post in your browser, just in case.
Hey dzineee, I don’t think a theme is capable of doing that. Also have not heard reports of such an error – it sounds server related.
Cheers
As a solution they recommend to deactive all plugins (already done this) and on the next step disable your theme (go back to original).
So I guess it might be the theme yes.. Still having major connection issues. Will contact my host and see what they can do.
If a theme or plugin is poorly coded it’s possible, but I’m just saying in a normal circumstance when you buy a theme on ThemeForest it shouldn’t have major issues like that.
Please keep me in the loop
Cheers
Whenever I upload a picture to the home page slider it doesn’t appear. Do I need to enable anything else?
Hey PointPerGame, have you assigned a home template to your page in the page attributes box?
Cheers
Thanks! Sorry I’m a rookie.
No worries!
Cheers
Hello. Great theme! We are having one issue though. We found out that our videos are not playing on an ipad or iphone. However it is playing fine on computer browsers. How can we fix this?! Please help!
-Rose
Hey Rose! Skip to 6:38 in my tutorial as I cover this there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLU9Pxo_RD8
Cheers
Hello Thank you. An image is showing now but the videos not playing. Maybe we missed something.
You’re welcome!
As I talk about in that segment of the tutorial I linked you – video backgrounds are swapped for images on mobile devices for a number of reasons.
Hi ThemeNectar!
I need that the order of the projects into portfolio will be alphabetically (not chronologically). Is it possible? Thank you very much!
Hey mgl83!
Open up the page-portfolio.php file, locate this query array:
$portfolio = array(
'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,
'post_type' => 'portfolio',
'project-type'=> $project_categories,
'paged'=> $paged
);
and add this in as another argument:
'orderby' => 'title'so all together:
$portfolio = array(
'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,
'post_type' => 'portfolio',
'project-type'=> $project_categories,
'orderby' => 'title',
'paged'=> $paged
);
Cheers
thanks you very much!
Hello again,
I made the changes you indicate, but the projects I ordered from Z to A, rather than A to Z. I have to do some more change? Thank you very much for your help.
thanks!
'order' => 'ASC'
Cheers
Hey ThemeNectar. I would like to replicate the color scheme for this map: http://devatic.com/?theme=Daisho, Is there any way to replace the current map with this one?
Hey freshlesh3! Please refer to the google maps styling guide: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/styling
You’ll add any of these mods into the map.js file located in the js folder.
Cheers
Thanks
Cheers!
Where in map.js would I place the “var styles” I generated?
This part of the guide talks about integrating the styles in a map object: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/styling#creating_a_styledmaptype
Inside of my map.js file you’ll see I also have a mapOptions object and then right below it I actually create the map so you’ll just have to mimic the setup in that link I set you into my map configuratrion.
Hey, not sure if I didn’t find the accompanying option, but the Project Style second option only works on portfolio pages, not the main page.
Also, when using the default with the 2 things (i.e., watch video / more details), is there a way to change what it says on a case-by-case basis? for example, some times it is a vimeo link, so it makes sense, but sometimes I have a sound cloud embed and it works fine, but still says “watch video” which is misleading.
Hey llirik,
1. The portfolio carousel will get its style based on your choice for full width with it. I’m going to make both options available for full and standard width, but for now the full width carousel will be the alt style and the standard carousel will show the regular style.
2. There would be no way to alter that on a per project basis without custom development because the video embed box was only meant for videos so that functionality is not present. You could modify the text for all projects though – it’s located in the page-portfolio.php file.
Cheers
Okay, guess I’ll have to wait for that change, as #2 isn’t an issue if #1 works.
Noticed in 2.1.5 = block quote used to have a little quote icon with it, did it not? seems to have disappeared now, just the text gets bigger.
Hey, while working on my site, I noticed another issue with the carousel on the main page… if the text reaches 2 lines, the bottom is cut off. You can view what I mean here: www.llirik.com
Hey again llirik,
1. The block quote style did indeed change at version 2.0 to match the testimonial slide style – I felt it was time to streamline the styles so it made sense.
2. Yes, this is a known bug that will be taken care of for the next release.
Cheers
Ah. Would it be simple for me to find the CSS in 1.9 and replace it into custom CSS to get the quotes back? I quite liked that much more.
Yes, just take over the rule for blockquote and also remember to bring the img back of the quote that sat on the left side
Hey,
I’ve updated to 2.5.1… regarding number 1 on the original post… I thought i read in your changelog that this is now an option, but im unable to find it in the settings. (to clarify, i want the main page to just have the pop over with the + instead of more details/view vid)
also, regarding the bug on the main page carousel about the line being cut off: still there.
Hey again,
1. When generating the recent projects shortcode there is now an option for project style, so you can use either the default or alternative style in full width or standard with now.
2. The bug turned out to only be half fixed it still ended up failing in some cases where varying project heights exist. The was reexamined and a new solution was created which will be in the next release but if you need a fix early, just open a ticket in regards and i’ll tell you what to change
Cheers
I’m using the template “Home – Recent Work/Posts” as my main page, not a shortcode. do i need to do something else to get it appearing that way?
Yes, the Home recent work/posts will automatically use set styles since it’s kind of “quick start” layout if you may.
Just assign the slider only layout instead and then use the shortcodes inside of the shortcode generator to place shortcodes for the recent work/posts. When you’re configuring them you’ll see options for all you need
Cheers!
Hello!
For to remove the titles (all work/recent work) in the top of the porfolio carousel in the home, how i do it?
www.blackbearbarcelona.com
Thanks!
Hey Ramon6! As of 2.1 you actually have the option to turn the carousel labels off when generating the shortcode.
Is there a way we can resize the testimonial to smaller so it looks a little better?
Hey largeserver,
you can use this in your custom css to control the size:
.testimonial_slider blockquote {
font-size: 18px!important;
line-height: 30px!important;
}
Cheers
Hey! Great portfolio and video tutorials. I’m taking some early steps into php (or may just kick for touch and hire a developer on this!). Anyway here’s my question regarding Custom Post Types – 1) how implementable are they with this theme? To clarify with an example: 2) Could I create a custom post type and set it to display as a Salient ‘Portfolio’ – and have multiple custom post types do the sane thing? I could then have categories within each these custom post types to organize the content of each. Alternatively (sorry this is getting long!), 3) Is there a shortcode available that might work with custom post types and allow for similar results / functionality on the front? I guess I’m after a suggestion on how you’d implement a change such as these this theme! Many thanks.
Thanks hstorey!
You wouldn’t need to make another post type to interact with the portfolio one already in place, you might just need to extend the one already there if you need additional functionality – but from your brief description it already sounds like Salient accomplish this out of the box. You can already have multiple portfolios on different pages all displaying a dropdown of their own categories to sort by. There’s a box that appears under the page attributes box when editing/creating your portfolio page that allows you to assign categories to display. Therefore you can make as many portfolio pages as you need all showing unique categories chosen by you.
Cheers
Cheers! Thanks for that – sounds great.
You’re welcome
Hello there. For the current portfolio page, I could choose either “View Larger” or “More Details” at the Portfolio Index page. If we click “More Details”, we could move to the next page. In that page, I would like to add “View Larger” for the image. Is that possible?
And also, I would like to change the size of “View Larger” image too.
Thank you and best regards.
Hey vitaonwax! You can create a lightbox link anywhere you like by adding the class “pp” to it. Here’s an example that you would use in the text tab on your editor:
<a class="pp" href="LARGER_IMG_SRC"><img src="IMG_SRC" /></a>
Also, the lightbox image will display as large as your users browser window will support, resizing to smaller when applicable.
Cheers!
Dear ThemeNectar. Thank you for that. By the way, if i would like to apply it for the featured image of the single-portfolio.php, how could i do that? I look for this template : salient > single-portfolio.php
//Regular Featured Img
else {
if (has_post_thumbnail()) { echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'full', array('title' => '')); } else {
echo '<img src="'.get_template_directory_uri().'/img/no-portfolio-item.jpg" alt="no image added yet." />';
}
}
but it was quite touch for me to figure out it, so could you provide me the code. Thank you again.
Hey again,
just change that section into this:
//Regular Featured Img
else {
if (has_post_thumbnail()) {
$featured_image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'full' );
echo '<a class="pp" href="'. $featured_image[0].'">' . get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'full', array('title' => '')) . '</a>'; } else {
echo '<img src="'.get_template_directory_uri().'/img/no-portfolio-item.jpg" alt="no image added yet." />';
}
}
Cheers
Dear ThemeNectar. Thanks a lot. I could do what i want to do!
BTW, if i want to change the size of the lightbox image, is it possible? I want to make it more bigger, so I want to make only the lightbox image size fixed. Should I edit the class “pp” or the other file? I really appreciate your help.
At the very top of the init.js file (which is located in the js folder) you’ll see the configuration options for prettyPhoto – change the default_height & default_width parameters
Cheers
Dear ThemeNectar. Thank you so much for the help!!!!!!
You’re welcome!
Hi Nectar, It’s Thura again. Sorry, I just would like to ask you a question as I am facing a prob and been trying to sort but I couldn’t figure out. On the home page of the site, http://cloudtexo.com , there is a Mail Chimp sign up form within one of the content boxes which doesn’t work for some reason. The code is embedded from Mail Chimp directly. the other form on the footer does work. It is also from Mail Chimp (different List). I can’t think why it doesn’t work. Could it be someting to do with conent bit? Because the footer one works. Any suggession Nectar, please?
Many Thanks
Thura
I think I found the reason, When I took off the sign up form from the footer and tested the other form (the one from the content box), it worked. So, could it be because there are two sign up (subscribe) from in the same website?
I also would like to ask one more question in the same time if that’s okay. I have an article page here, http://cloudtexo.com/articles/ . it’s just a normal page. the articles are linked to the other websites. When there are so many news on the page, is there any way to have buttons (Numbers, Next and Previous) at the end of the page? Something like the one on this page, http://www.cio.com/attributes/index/146300/600007/1 . I don’t mind to do manually.
Thanks
Thura
Hey Thura!
Pagination is handled automatically if these are posts within a post type. How are those article links getting populated? Are they coming from a post type in the backend or are you just writing it all out on the page? If you want pagination it would best to create a post type or just use the blog (I have support in for the link post format) – that way you can control the pagination easy.
Cheers!
Hi Nectar, no, these are not posts, just written on a page. Because Articles are not to be seen in blog section. As far as I understand, all the post will be seen on blog page, won’t they? so I just make it a basic way. Of course, I want Pagination to change the Article pages.
Thanks again
Thura
You can indeed use the blog and just assign all of these links to a specific category which you can link to directly. You’ll get pagination this way as well
Where would I add a css background to the footer background? I can’t figure out exactly where that is located.
I want to add something like this: http://lea.verou.me/css3patterns/#
Instead of a solid color.
Hey superluxefibers! You can target the footer and add a bg image with this snippet:
#footer-outer {
background-image: url("http://subtlepatterns.com/patterns/triangular.png")!important;
}
