Hi,
wow! Great theme! I’m a total newbie to wordpress and never thought, i could enjoy “programming” a website, like i do with your shortcodes & co
TOP!
There is a list of 400 or so usable icons via shortcode available. Is it possible to create my own icons and use them like the ones available in this theme?
Hey animationmic,
The icons within the icon shortcode are generated through a font file (fontawesome) and modifying that or adding your own would require some custom coding – but if you just use images as I’ve done in various sections on the demo, there’s no extra customization required. Just use the image with animation shortcode for a nice effect.
Cheers
Hello. Before I purchase, is it possible to achieve a full screen slider on the homepage easily? So that the image/video is full screen on any resolution?
Similar to how this theme behaves: http://us-themes.com/wp/Corsa/Thanks
Hey gworsnup!
Yes, there’s already an option for that as seen here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/home-portfolio-eye-candy/
Cheers 
I just bought the theme, but the version says 2.05. How do I upgrade to the latest version? Greatings from Portugal, i love thins theme!
Problem resolved!
Great to hear!
Cheers 
Hi – loving this theme thanks. Is there a way of stopping the navigation/header area from running to two lines? When looking at the site on some computers or when you reduce the window size the navigation becomes two lines with a huge line space. Reducing the screen further will take it down to the mobile/ipad nav layout which is fine, but the in-between phase looks strange. You can see it here: http://www.thecurvedhouse.com/ Can you help? Thanks
PS I’ve purchased the theme, not sure why that’s not showing up against my name.
Hey kittyh!
You’ll need to use css like this in your custom css box to accommodate the amount of menu items your have:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) and (max-width: 1300px) {
header#top nav > ul > li > a {
font-size: 15px!important;
padding-left: 8px!important;
padding-right: 7px!important;
}
}
Cheers
Hello,
Awesome theme, i just like to know how you added map in contact form in the live preview ?
Thanks
Thanks sducoulombier!
You can assign the contact page layout in your page attributes box to display the map and then configure it through the contact options tab in your theme options panel 
Cheers
ThemeNectar..You’re a GOD. Seriously, you keep blowing me away with every new detail added to the theme! Incredible work man. Definitely the best theme I’ve ever used and by far the best design work I’ve seen in a very long time!!!
Thanks so much TwoSolid! 
Cheers!
hi there,
love design & features but miss a page builder -:(
so is there any chance to offer a page builder anytime soon?
thx
Hey tasoskouk, there’s other items in the queue before a page builder – but it’s possible that one will eventually get added 
Cheers
Hi. I have two doubts:
#1 – How I can put the language selector at secondary menu like this screenshot?
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/3.png
#2 – How I can put the corners itens with border like twitter and language selector like this same screenshot above?
Hey Ararazu,
1. That’s an option in the WPML plugin – you can place it into any theme menu (secondary or primary in Salient’s case)
2. You can enable that secondary navigation in the header options tab. 
Cheers
2. Yes, it’s enable, but borders of corners not appears. See in www.ararazu.com the corner of twitter icon on left side and Facebook text on right side.
That’s how it appears for the boxed, but if you want to change it just delete these rules from your style.css file
#boxed #header-secondary-outer ul#social > li:first-child a
#boxed #header-secondary-outer ul.sf-menu > li:last-child a
Cheers
Thanks
Hey alecode, that would require a good deal of custom development actually. If you really need that functionality, consider going to microlancer – as i’m sure you could find a dev that would be willing to help 
Cheers
Hi! In my installation when I use characters with french accents the font changes from open sans to serif, is this normal?
Fixed it! Under Salient -> Typography Options -> checkmark Load Ext. Characters in Default Font
Hey kostaev! I’m glad you found the answer before I could answer 
Cheers!
Would it be possible for you to add this short code as an option in your theme?
http://themes.activetofocus.com/alterna/demo/history-services-features/Anythings possible, but there currently are no plans for that features.
Cheers 
If you could add this history/timeline short code, I’ll buy it. + then everyone else will have it. Let me know. =)
I’ll add it to the wishlist, but there are other items that must be completed first before that can be considered based on popular demand. 
Cheers
How do I create the client carousel on this page http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/about/about-me-example/
Hello lenwonwu,
there’s a clients shortcode right inside of the shortcode generator with an option to “Turn Into Carousel?”
Cheers
Thanks, that worked. How do I make my portfolio full width? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio-fullwidth-alt/
You can choose that option in your portfolio options tab – it was added in v2.5 so make sure you’re up to date 
Cheers
Thanks. I updated it, but now my about me page color is an off white. Where do I change that?
The main background color for Salient has always been an off white – if you need a css snippet to alter your one page just share your URL and I’ll make one up for you 
Cheers
What font was used in the logo?
Brandon Grotesque

Hello! How do I go about changing the location of the map on the “contact” page?
Hey blairalyse!
You can change that right in the contact options tab in your theme options panel. You have the ability to define both the map center point and also add locations near the bottom 
Cheers
Hey! Thanks for your help so far. One Question – My Nector Banner background is not loading on mobile. Think that is just because the photo file size is too large? www.lousbrewcafe.com
You’re welcome!
It’s a little big, there’s no need to use an image of that size – I would indeed first try uploading a smaller version of it. With the width around 2000px or less.
Cheers 
Excellent WP theme – one question – how do I add an image logo on the home page (in the upper left)?
Thank you!!
Thanks DavidTEvans!
You can upload a logo via the “Logo Upload” option in the header options tab in your theme options panel. 
Cheers
Totally obvious! Sorry! Thank you!
No worries! Cheers 
Hi, what plugins do you recommend me to create an archive page for this theme and what syntax highlighter did you use on this page http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/food-for-thought/amazing-post-with-all-the-goodies/
Hey kiefer972,
1. What kind of an archive?
2. That’s just a plain old code tag which can be inserted right on the editor.
Cheers
1. I want an archive page that list all articles by month (ex: November 2013), Do you have a template or something ?
Archive pages are already included by default in WP and will display through the index.php file. Here’s an example from the demo: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/2013/03/
Just put the date onto your URL to display posts from that year/month.
Cheers
Hey ThemeNectar. First of all, love the theme!
Problem/bug: The parallax effect does NOT work on Safari for the the Nectar Slider. Can you look into this? It works beautifully on ALL other browsers (even IE!) but not on Safari. It doesn’t work on the last 2 years of Safari OR the latest version of Safari on Mavericks (just updated last night on one of my machines to double check). Can this be fixed? Parallax scroll works on all other instances (like full-width background shortcode), just not on Nectar slider. (background and text just stay fixed, and content scrolls over…)
Thanks in advance!
cheers
Hey mittenunited,
the parallax effect on the Nectar Slider is intentionally left off in Safari because that browser can not process the effect well enough like other browsers such as Chrome & Firefox. It caused way too sluggish performance so I had to remove it for the benefit of the user experience.
Cheers
But the same effect exists on parallax headers, just not the slider— so it’s only an issue on the slider? Because it works great on the parallax headers with same effect… Thanks for your fast response!
You’re welcome!
Yes – there’s more that goes on behind the scenes with the Nectar Slider because of its video capabilities and it caused browsers crashes in Safari too often. I spent a bit on it too, but it seemed to be the only way.
Cheers!
How do i make multiple contact pages? Can this be done with your theme?
Hey ukieblack,
the contact form itself can be placed anywhere when using Contact Form 7/Gravity Forms etc. but the map can currently only contain one set of data.
Cheers
I’m loving this theme 
Is there a way to make the Nectar slider autoplay through the slides, rather than having to click through to the next or previous items ?
That’s awesome to hear MisterT1!
Yes, you can add this directly to your Nectar Slider shortcode to force the auto rotate:autorotate="5500"
The time entered in is in milliseconds so the above snippet will cause an auto rotation every five and a half seconds 
Cheers!
cheers for quick response, it’s working a treat 
You’re welcome!
