Pre-sale questions:
1) Does the theme allow for a slideshow as the background image when using boxed layout (example: www.eneaa.com/templates/blacklabel/portfolios/portfolio-2-columns), and does it also have a full-screen slideshow (example: www.eneaa.com/templates/blacklabel/home/home-3d)?
2) Does the portfolio layout you showcase allow for automatic loading of new images as you get close to the end of the images (something like an ajax loading)?
Thanks 
Hey PrefeX,
1. No slidehow for the BG, that would require custom development – but there is a fullscreen slider option as seen here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/home-portfolio-eye-candy/
2. Not yet, but that feature is on the to-do list
Cheers
Hey!
Loving the theme! What’s the easiest way to upgrade to the new version without losing content?
Thanks,
SDL
That’s great to hear slease!
Just download the latest release from ThemeForest, delete the current version you have and upload the new. All of your content and settings will persist through
Cheers
We tested your demo link and our link after compressing and optimizing all what is possible in google speed test and pingdom, but the results are not very good. Can you optimize and improve this in the next update?
Hello mzuker,
The demo is getting an 82/100 for desktop pagespeed and hardly any optimizations have been completed – I’m just using W3 with a basic setup and no minification. The remaining warnings from pagespeed are things outside of the theme itself such as optimizing images, reducing server response time and minifying + combining all the scripts (which requires finesse, but can be done through W3). If you post your URL i’d be glad to run it through pagespeed and see if you’re missing anything else.
Cheers
Ok. Thanks
You’re welcome
But maybe you can fix in the google speed test for your theme this: Your page has 36 blocking script resources and 8 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.
Also: Prioritize visible content Your page requires additional network round trips to render the above-the-fold content. For best performance, reduce the amount of HTML needed to render above-the-fold content.
The first warning would go away with minification and combining the scripts of your site which can be done in W3, but requires some finesse as I said above.
I’ll look into the second warning though
Try to tweak all this to improve the theme performance and make it perfect
Also I am using a cache plugin but am getting 404 error from wp-cron.php says it’s not working.
wp-cron.php is a core WP file – it nothing to do with the theme you’re using. I would Google your error and see if you can track down possible causes.
Cheers
Hello again -
I’m struggling with finding my way around the theme. I want to do two things:
1. I want to change the “Recent Work / View All Work” widget area and embed YouTube videos in these areas. I cannot seem to find the widgets. Please let me know how to finds them.
2. I want to change the 4-column text widget area just under the slider images to a 2/3 1/3 text area – and get rid of the icons. I saw the tutorial on how to create columns but I cannot find WHERE I do this. Please let me know.
This is my first WP theme – I’ve done a lot of HTML websites in Dreamweaver – but I’m now a WP devotee. I just need a little help to get over the hump. I just finished the WordPress Essential Training course in lynda.com and I watched all your tutorials. Your assistance is VERY appreciated.
Thank you – DAVID
Hey again David,
1. The recent work carousel is only capable of displaying projects in the same manner as the portfolio page. You could use video embeds in your project which would add a button for “Watch Video” when hovering over the projects that would pop open a lightbox with your video.
2. Just edit your page and you should see that shortcode setup in the editor to delete and you can then generate your own columns through the shortcode generator for your desired layout.
Cheers!
Hi! Is there a way to hide “additional information” from the WooCommerce product page? Thanks! -Will
Hey Will! Can I get your URL again just to make sure the snippet will be valid?
Cheers
Add this:
.additional_information_tab, #tab-additional_information { display: none!important; }
#tab-reviews { display: block!important; }
Cheers
Do you have a newsletter plugin for this theme?
Can i have this plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/newsletter/ integrated in your theme?
Hey HokoPT, that plugin should work fine with Salient
Cheers
Hello,
The Translation-Ready .po/.mo files included Also include the translation for the Admin WP and plugins used?
Hey HokoPT, the .po and .mo files are included for the front and backend strings
Cheers
One more question: Is it possible to put an image file such as a .png file in the CAPTION area of the home page slider? Specifically I would like a logo to appear over a header slide instead of caption text.
LOVE working with this theme -
Cheers, David
Hey David, you can still enter an image tag into the header input field – just remember to use single quotes for the src:
<img src="your-src.jpg" />
Cheers!
Single quotes – I would never have thought of that! Thank you!!
You’re welcome!
Cheers
Incredible theme. It won me over to WP!!!! Thank you. Do all the pages load when installed like your demo? Many of the links in the features drop down don’t seem to work.
Do I have to reinstall?
One last question? Is it possible to increase the padding between columns?
Beautiful work and organization.
Thanks bdobler!
1. Some of the pages (mostly in the features megamenu) were just custom links that lead to URL’s of existing pages, so I couldn’t include them in the dummy data since URL’s vary on every setup – you should still have all the pages in your setup though
.col {
padding: 5px!important;
}
Cheers!
Hi, I need a slider with video backgrounds support and can’t find anything anywhere!
If i buy your theme can I use the license to insert the slider into my own site not built with Salient?
Hey tommytank!
Yes, but it’s not a plugin yet so you’d need to spend some separating it from the theme to use elsewhere.
Cheers
How do I get the translate button like in the demo? And is it possible to “pin” the header to the top and not scroll with the page?
Hey TurboeCreations,
1. That’s an option in the WPML plugin.
2. That would require custom css. If you need some help please just open a ticket in the support forum
Cheers
Is there any way to add a phone number into the secondary navigation bar?
Hey danielaronson,
you could add it through the menus section in your admin panel with a blank link or hash link (#) so it doesn’t lead anywhere, or you can manually enter it in as a list item in your header.php file.
Cheers
Is it possible to create a dark version of this theme in the options? If not maybe a dark version could included in the next update please? Thank you.
Hey velocity_uk,
there’s no option, but you could just use some custom css to change the main bg color on every page. If you open a ticket in regards i’ll help you
Cheers
ThemeNectar,
i was wondering: do you think it would be possible to integrate Envato Toolkit in Salient?
Here you can see what it is and how to do it. It would be great to update the theme via Wordpress panel, without any arrassing from FTP or errors during the process.
Much appreciated for you attention.
Hey jppmarujo!
I’ve known about this but haven’t gotten around to implementing yet – thanks for raising it, i’ll definitely note to check it out again
Cheers
Is it possible to have the header shopping cart icon always visible, even if no items are in the cart? Thanks.
Hey again adamsqb,
you’ll need to modify the header.php file and add the class “has_products” to this div:
<div class="cart-menu-wrap"> </div>
Cheers
Couldn’t get it to work properly. Can you please paste the code? I’m guessing this is the code that needs to be modified:
<?php echo $woocommerce->cart->cart_contents_count; ?>I added the “has_products” class, but the cart drop down stopped working when products were added to the cart. Thanks for your help!
Weird, apparently, you can’t paste code here. Anyway, I tried what you recommended and it didn’t work. Could you possibly post the correct code somewhere and/or verify if this will work? Thanks again.
When you paste code use pre tags so it won’t get parsed by the browser at all.
I did indeed test the mod before posting – you’re just manually adding the same class that the javascript would once there’s products in the cart.
On the actual div would look like this:
if ($woocommerce) { ?>
<div class="cart-outer">
<div class="cart-menu-wrap has_products">
......
</div> </div>
That’s why I’m not a programmer. Works like a charm. As always, thanks for your help. Your theme continues to push the boundaries of ridiculousness!
You’re very welcome!
Cheers
Is there a login feature?
More specifically, a signup feature that allows users to signup and then log back in.
Hey awn, there’s no extra features in regards to signup/login outside of the core WP functionality – you’d need a plugin to extend that.
Cheers
Thank you
You’re welcome
Hi again! I’m using Nectar Slider and i would show each slider along a few seconds, its possible this option while i use Nectar Slider?
Thanks!
Hey david_native!
If you’re asking for an auto rotate function, there’s already one built in. 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
The font of my Header is italic. How can I make that normal?? THanks!
Nvm fixed it
Glad to hear ninbin!
Cheers
Is there a quick way to change the layout of the woocommerce product page so that the tabbed section is full width? Most every Woocommerce theme I’ve seen does this. Here’s a good example:
http://themes.lpd-themes.com/456industry/?product=circular-sawNot sure why Salient didn’t go this route, but hopefully it’s an easy thing to do.
Nevermind. Figured it out (I think). Removed the following lines from functions.php: //change tab position to be inside summary remove_action(‘woocommerce_after_single_product_summary’, ‘woocommerce_output_product_data_tabs’, 10); add_action(‘woocommerce_after_single_product_summary’, ‘woocommerce_output_product_data_tabs’, 1);
Hey adamsqb,
you found the correct code
Cheers
Suggestion: Favicon for retina display
