Love this theme. :)

Thanks Stinaw, that’s awesome to hear! :)

great theme !

Thanks a lot davtech!

Great theme!

Is there any way to make the header, footer and body transparent? I’d like to have a full screen background which shows up behind the content.

Hey robskarin!

there is indeed a way – would you mind opening a ticket in regards so my answer can be properly indexed for others who might be interested?

Thanks!

Great, I’ll be with you soon!

Hi there,

Like everyone here, love the theme …. amazing work! I am scouting out a theme for a future project and Salient would work beautifully for it ….. but I will have a requirement to use Buddypress. I see in a previous comment you mentioned it was on your list (which is great) ... but I just wanted to check if this would be in the coming months or a bit further in the future.

Many thanks in advance

Thanks projectmunton! :)

It will indeed most likely be within months as I release a large feature update every month and this is still a hot item on the list :)

Cheers

Excellent, looking forward to seeing it in action :)

I meant to ask in my last post … where did you source the NYC Cityscape Video Background? It is very effective and I will be looking for similar videos (of other cities incl. NYC) for some projects in the future.

Many thanks again

The link to get that video is documented in the user guide in the Dummy Data section :)

Cheers mate!

Hi, great theme.

I’m just trying to change the subheader color to black on a page title header because my background is light and the white text doesn’t show up so I added the following to my child theme stylesheet.

page-header-bg .subheader { color: 000; }

I could get it to change for the title but not the subtitle and then I realised that the parent stylesheet had !important for the .subheader which stopped the custom change. Is there a reason for this and in order to change the color will I have to remove !important in the parent theme everytime there is an update.

Fantastic theme, keep up the good work!

Thanks pajmundo! You can actually just also use the !important property in the custom css box to overwrite it without touching the main stylesheet. e.g.

body #page-header-bg .subheader { color: 000!important; }

Cheers!

I should have thought of that! cheers, best theme I’ve worked with in a long time.

Thanks again pajmundo!

Hello ThemeNectar!, is it possible in any way to disable the mobile layout and menu switch when the page width reaches 1000px , instead we need the page to remain the same at the minimum width of 960px.

Thank you in advance

Hey pandamonk!

You can indeed disable the responsive layout inside of the theme options panel > general settings tab. That will keep your website in the desktop state regardless of the screen size.

Cheers

I’m very interested in buying this theme…

but is it possible to disable and remove all references to Comments?

and can the <3 like buttons be switched off?

That’s awesome to hear Shane!

To remove all traces of comments, start with this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-comments/

After you configure that, the only references to comments you’ll have left is on the blog page in the meta information on each post. To remove that just open the files inside of includes/post-templates and delete this line:

<a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>">
                    <?php comments_number( __('No Comments', NECTAR_THEME_NAME), __('One Comment ', NECTAR_THEME_NAME), __('% Comments', NECTAR_THEME_NAME) ); ?></a>

Cheers!

Hi again :D

Using your advice I was able to remove all the love hearts and also all the comment entry fields – using the disable comment plugin.

However, I have followed you instructions and removed

<?php comments_number( _(‘No Comments’, NECTAR_THEME_NAME), _(‘One Comment ’, NECTAR_THEME_NAME), __(’% Comments’, NECTAR_THEME_NAME) ); ?>

from all css files under includes/post-templates. But my blog posts still show “NO COMMENTS” in the area just under the title – http://www.drsau.com/2013/11/22/christmas-trading-hours/

I’m not sure why it is still showing? Ideally I would also like to remove the “Posted by shanebecks | Blog | No Comments” section completely ;-)

Thanks once again for you help! :D

Kind regards, Shane

Hey Shane!

You just need to remove that stuff from the single.php file as well to eliminate it from the single post pages too :)

Cheers

Love the theme! Before I purchase, are there any alternative navigation options for mobile viewing?

Hey Divafiroozi! The mobile nav seen on the demo is the only option available – other designs would require customization at this point.

Cheers :)

Hello,

When I add a full width section, I’m having issues with centering images.

For a specific example. I have a full width section (with bg image) and I have two one half, centered columns. When I add an image inside the column it will not center. I load the page and it is centered for a second, then it jumps over to the left.

LOVE the theme though. Thanks!

Hey tywilliams4! That sounds pretty strange – as long as you’ve selected the centered text option for your columns, the image should remain centered. Can you please open a ticket in regards with your URL so I can see what’s going on better?

http://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Thanks!

Will do – thanks!

You’re welcome – I’ll be with you soon!

Hello

Wordpress 3.7 tested?

Thanks

Yes, you’re safe to upgrade :)

Hello! Is it possible to add the caption background to the headers on the sliders on an individual basis via css?

Hey Artblend!

I currently can’t see any issues with the fourth slide or when I add additional text to make it flow onto 2 lines – did you already solve this? If not, please supply me a screenshot demonstrating the issue if you can :)

Cheers!

Turns out we didn’t need the text on two lines. I suspect though that it was the
in the code that was causing a larger gap. But thanks!

No problem!

Cheers :)

Is it possible to change the title on the post category pages? I wish they didn’t say “Archives”...

Nevermind – it was the SEO plugin’s fault! Thanks! :)

Glad you sorted it LighthouseMaterials!

Cheers :)

Does this theme support multiple portfolio pages? In order to use this theme, I need to have three portfolio pages with different items in each one – so I need the ability to exclude categories from certain pages.

Also, I would like to remove the “View Larger/More Details” when the portfolio items are hovered over. Instead, I’d like it to simply go to More Details when clicked.

Hey dreamsickle!

1. Yes, you can reuse the portfolio layout how ever many times you desire choosing what categories display on each.

2. I’ve already listed the css for this mod on the support forum so you’d just need to copy & paste it into your custom css box :)

Cheers

Can we have the option to have boxed layout on desktop and full width layout on mobile? Boxed layout is great for desktop but looks funky on a mobile device. Thanks!

Hey heron88! Thanks for the suggestion – i’ll note it for the wishlist :)

Cheers

Can you tell me what files I would need to edit to change how the search appears. I don’t like how the logo goes away and the search area is huge. I would rather have a little drop/pop down effect and you can type in whatever and search.

thanks

Hey tabishiqbal, there’s a few things that would need to be changed, so I wouldn’t recommend going about it yourself unless you are comfortable – the searchform.php for the markup, the styles in the main stylesheet (style.css) and the javascript that creates the functionality inside of the init.js file.

Cheers

Thanks!

You’re welcome!

I have noticed that my portfolio images look smaller on mobile screens compared to your preview. What Wordpress image sizes do you use?

http://www.owenprescott.com/portfolio/

Hey Owen! I actually don’t see any difference – are you looking at the demo on your device directly outside of the iframe? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient

Cheers

I can’t figure out how to change the icons in the middle of the page to make them look like the ones on your demo. These are too icon-y. Yours were images and looked great. Can I choose any of the pre loaded icons to look like the ones that you have on your demo? I’m speaking specifically about the icons underneath the blue strip that says “We are relevant… etc..” I want the icons to be the same images that I have now, but to be the same style that is on your demo. (Not circular, a small standalone image.)

Hey kaleidoscopeevents,

I answered you on your ticket regarding this query :)

Cheers

thank you for the response. You sent me an answer for how to recreate the dummy icons. I have chosen different icons that you provide though, not the dummy ones. For instance: the headphones, the music note, etc. How do I make these ones appear instead of the dummy ones?

Are you trying to use icons form the built-in list in the icon shortcode or just your own images?

1. For custom icon images, just upload them and replace the URL’s in my dummy content. You can place anything in the URL e.g:
[image_with_animation animation="Grow In" image_url="http://localhost/premium_theme_1/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/canvas-experiments1.png" delay="150"]

2. To use the icon shortcode in its place, just delete that image shortcode and generate an icon shortcode of your choosing in its place.

Cheers

Hi,

Looks like a great theme. A few questions:

1) Can you have full screen videos (from portfolio pages) with full screen text below?

2) Can you moderate all comments?

3) Can you have multiple portfolios i.e. on different pages for different subjects (not simply sortable)?

4) Can you add a portfolio to the homescreen?

Many thanks

Hey again,

1. Do you mean like the size of the vimeo embed found down the page here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio/994/ ?

4. Within one week :)

Cheers!

I mean insterting either a youtube or vimeo video full width (boxed layout) with words and comments below. Can this be done?

As long as you want the video to be full width within the container (1100px max width) than yes :)

Hi there, I have a couple small questions I’d like to ask before I purchase the theme.

Can the video slider show an image instead for mobile view? If so does it just grab the first frame of the video or can i define the image?

If i am able to define the image for mobile then my purchase of this amazing theme is definitely an easy one! Otherwise i suppose i could custom code it in, either way thanks for your time to read and answer this :)

Hey GoldenDenDen! Yes & you define the image :)

Cheers!

Hello;

Perfect theme !!!! A little question; how can I change the theme name ? Especially the repertory (salient) name ?

Many Thanks

Thanks da1234!

You change the theme name itself at the top of the style.css file and if you want to change all occurrences of the word Salient through the admin panel, you should use a mass find & replace function in a code editor as it’s used in various files/places.

Cheers!

Thanks for you response, I’ve change style.css and repertory name, it work but menu and widget dissapear.. Impossible to get them back…

Many thanks :)

Hey again,

can you share your URL in regards so I can see what’s causing the error?

Cheers!
