Hello. What are those new features planed for the next update? Tell me!!

Haha, hello mzuker! The next update will contain more bug fixes and additional functionality to the portfolio/blog. I’ll keep you guys updated the further I get into development :)

Cheers

Hey!

I’m tried to use both the short codes to add a video from Vimeo ( http://vimeo.com/10966874) and the Vimeo Embed code and neither worked on my home page (http://www.stephenlease.com/)

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

SDL

Embed code used <iframe src=”//player.vimeo.com/video/10966874?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0” width=”700” height=”393” frameborder=”0” webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>

octopus steals my video camera and swims off with it (while it’s Recording) from Victor Huang on Vimeo.

Hey Slease!

You just need to paste it into the text tab on your editor rather than the visual one :)

Cheers

Thanks…I’m a little slow

Haha, no worries!

Hello,

I have a presale question – does this theme come with mailchimp integration (i.e. a basic theme styled email subscribe box)?

On a side note, I wish themeforest had search functionality for comments, as it would be much easier than probably asking you a redundant question!

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion live003! I will note it for the wishlist :) For now, I can test with that plugin to verify styling, i’m 95% sure it should work fine.

Cheers!

Sounds Good! I would definitely purchase this theme once your able to roll out a simple Mailchimp integrated shortcode (i.e. a simple email box with a submit button or icon).

An example of the email subscribe form i’m talking about can be seen in the footer of: http://www.shoprootscience.com

I know how big dev wishlists can grow, so i’ll patiently await with my fingers crossed :)

Sounds good live003 :)

Cheers

Hi themenectar,

Please what’s the exact size of the sidebar. I want to add a bunch of images and possibly ads to my sidebar.

Thanks

Hey segunfak,

at the wide desktop size it is 260px – since it’s responsive it will change size slightly in every view port to accommodate the changing layout. Your images will automatically adjust with it so just make sure to supply them at least that big :)

Hi! Love your theme. Had a question about the name ‘portfolio’. We would love to use a different name than ‘portfolio’. Can you point me to a .php file that has the array where this is set? I found it for the admin panel, but cannot seem to locate it for the outward facing portfolio pages. We bought this theme from our company acct which i cannot find our log in for so contacting you through my personal account. Love the theme. Thanks for any help.

Hey Jason!

The post type is defined inside of the functions.php file. Just run a search for “portfolio_register” to end up at the right location :)

Cheers

One question before buying:

Is it possible to have the portfolio sort menu links all available instead of a dropdown?

Is it possible to have descriptions under each portfolio item in the sortable page?

Thanks!

Hey Createtraffic,

both of these things would require a little modding. The filter mod could be done with pure css, but the description under each portfolio item would take a little php as well.

Cheers

Hey ThemeNectar , amazing template. Congratz!

However I would really appreciate if you could add a google+ button on the social sharing buttons on the blog.

Thanks!

Hey arghy93, I was already going to add a Google+ button in for 2.0, but Google doesn’t allow a share count to be retrieved like the other social sites do outside of their standard share button they offer.

I’ll reexamine this again and see if I can’t find a way around it :)

Cheers

Nectar, how can I make the “Slider Background Color” intro “transparent” or “rgba(0,0,0,.5)” background-color:rgba(0,0,0,1) ? THANK YOU IN ADVANCED

Hey mahiette! Enter this into your custom css box:

#featured article {
   background-color: rgba(0,0,0,1)!important; 
}

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar,

Take a look on my checkboxes. They are in the wrong place. How do I fix this?

Hey again!

Your div is just set to be too wide in the pricing tables. Enter this into your custom css box to remedy:

.mgm_subs_pack_desc {
    width: 145px!important;
}

However, checking on all browsers, I still can’t see your register check box out of line like the screenshot you’ve provided.

Cheers

Ok, thanks, it works

Great to hear :)

Hi ThemeNectar! This is beautiful! One question, very important to me: Along with text, or instead of text, can I place images in the Nectar Slider (in the overlay over the background images)? I see the CSS buttons, but if actual images can be placed there (even if a little bit of editing of code is needed by me), then this is a slam dunk for me. SO great you have native video support background in the slider! TIA :)

Yes, the image can be up to around 1000px wide and however tall you need it by default without writing any css :)

Cheers!

OMG, that is phenomenal! You rock! Will be purchasing soon!!

That’s awesome to hear!

Cheers :)

Hey!

I have a 72 dpi jpg (1600×475) uploaded in the Page Header image section of Wordpress but it won’t show up on the live site. http://www.stephenlease.com/about-me-2/.

THoughts?

Thanks,

SDL

The page header is actually not what you’re seeing where the loading gif section is. That’s an instance of Nectar Slider and when using a nectar slider at the top of your page, the default page header will be removed to avoid styling conflicts. If you don’t need a slider, just remove that shortcode from the top of your editor and your page header will appear :)

Cheers!

Is it best to create a Child Theme of Salient (although I don’t see a Child Theme zip in the download) or do I just download the latest version. I just want to make sure I don’t lose any settings and it’s a smooth transition. Thanks :)

P.S. I might have asked this question before, but I’m not sure.

Hey acmediaservice! You only need to use a child theme when you’re customizing core files :)

Cheers

Thank you for the info. A question though…where is the Child Theme available for download?

You’re welcome! Creating a child theme is something you can do yourself very easily. Just follow this guide if you’re new to the process: https://managewp.com/how-to-create-a-child-theme

Cheers

I noticed that the latest download version of Salient shows October 18th. When was the latest version of Salient released, as I downloaded the first version of 2.0? Thanks :)

Hey ac!

If you scroll down to the Changelog section on the main item page, you’ll see that “The current version is 2.1.5: Released on October 18th, 2013”. If you want to get it, just download the theme again from ThemeForest :)

Cheers

Thank you :)

You’re welcome!

The Home Slider gets stuck in its loading animation no matter what I do. Any idea what might cause the problem ?

IronTemplates,

That’s the Nectar Slider, not the Home Slider – there’s a bit of a difference when troubleshooting problems.

Some servers require you to add the media types supported in the .htaccess file in order for them to parse the files. Open up your .htaccess file located in the root of your WordPress install and add this:

AddType video/mp4 mp4
AddType video/mp4 m4v
AddType video/ogg ogv
AddType video/webm webm
AddType video/webm webmv

Cheers!

Thanks, that fixed the problem !

Excellent! Your site’s looking good already by the way :)

Cheers

Is there any way to make the blog posts cut off after certain characters by default. I am aware of making read more for every post separately but want to know if you can make “read more” happen by default.

Hey qhbl, you’d have to modify the post templates inside of includes/post-templates to use the_excerpt function by default – I’m going to be adding an option for this in the next update though because a few of you have requested this already :)

Cheers

Client request “Open Sans Condensed” for headings and it is listed as a choice of fonts however it doesn’t seem to take effect when saved in admin? The default “Open Sans” seems fine.

Thanks for the fix up on the product search feature for admin panel!

Hey Kevin!

Make sure you’ve also selected font weights for the “Open Sans Condensed” as well otherwise it won’t work.

Cheers :)

Hello :D!!

I just updated with the last 2 patch. The typography menú has change, and it is imposible to put back like your theme have.

I have change again to open sans font as you can see in the this imagen http://gyazo.com/f2da7b5488e6f3975975c9ab7eaee4d5

There is the website where you can see it is not working http://www.karont3.com/nuestras-marcas/

You have still having permisions to this admin panel! :D

Jiba, I’ll have to search for the admin access again in the forum as I don’t remember it off the top of my head – but I will say that this method of assigning open sans in all locations is not needed anymore if all you wish to do is keep the default theme font but have language subsets. Turn off your custom fonts and just check that new checkbox above that states ‘Load Ext. Characters in Default Font’.

Cheers!

It works!! Thanks you so much again!! <3

Hello themenectar,

Just wanted to say
Even though i have not bought this theme, but just having eyes on almost all. Used to view / read comments, watch updates, live previews

And ofcourse the responses of Authors also

I like the way you treat your customers and how much dedicated you are in responding them and fixing bugs

I like the way you responsd here

Whether the issue turns out to be a problem on your setup or some unknown bug in the theme – I’ll help you fix it.
Not only that, i also found you are providing custom CSS directly here and not forcing your customers to open tickets unwantedly

What a positive and confident way of approaching and helping
Simply amazing, Great :)
Keep up the great support

Hey Akash_techsite, I really appreciate you taking the time to say all that! You made my morning :)

Cheers
