Ok, I’m stumped. How did you get a background image to show up on the Woocommerce store category pages? Like this one here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/product-category/clothing/hoodies/
Hello adamsqb,
the header on the page you’re referring to was added in the same manner any other page header gets added – through the page header settings box: http://i.imgur.com/di9edzg.jpgCheer
As I already said, your theme is awesome. The best available on theme forest.
However, I would like to make two suggestions for the future :
- A better blog layout, simpler and more beautiful, with the possibility to customize a blog post like it is already the case for pages (I love when it is fullwidth and when, for the boxed layout, there is no marge between the featured picture and the limit with the background).
- And the possibility to change the background for a special page/special post would be very appreciated 
!
Thanks for your kind words and the suggestion Leroiarthur

do you need to purchase a domain name to use it. Do not any hosting sevice let you use theirs with a domain name ,iem test environment.
Hey Vladione,
The theme works like another other in regards to having a domain name. You can use it on any WordPress install, so as long as you have that the theme will work, whether it’s on a local environment or a live server with or without a domain name.

is there an option to have the header transparent?
Hey mikedubs,
that would require custom css at this point.
Cheers!
First, thanks for your job, to maintain updated this theme. Sorry if the question has already been asked but I did the recent update and I do not see the option to sort my portfolio (formerly with the icon on the top on the right)... ?
Hey denislamalice!
Make sure you have the checkbox checked for “Display Sortable” in your portfolio display settings box: http://i.imgur.com/QCXn6Gx.png
Cheers!
I found, great ! I’m just a stupid guy
Thanks a lot !
No worries!
Cheers
I have noticed that pagination for the portfolio is not working on my site, it returns a “404 Not Found.” Error on the next page. Any recommendations on possible fixes? I have tried reseting the permalinks.
Also will Google crawl the additional pages, I remember Matt Cutts suggesting to use “rel=canonical” with pagination.
Hey Owen!
Have you also entered in a slug inside of your portfolio options tab within the theme options panel? When using the extended pagination option in combination with a custom permalink structure you must enter something for this (anything other than “portfolio” – e.g. “work” or “projects”) and then resave your permalink structure again.
Cheers!
Is there a form builder (for example, Contact 7) integrated in this theme?
Hey awn, Contact Form 7 is indeed supported but there’s no additional form builder for it within the Theme – you just create your forms in the CF7 interface and then use the shortcode it gives you to place it where you need.
Cheers
Hello, I’m considering using a plugin to create a gallery because of the fact that I’m not able to use arrows to go to the next portfolio item. I’d rather use your already beautiful functionality. How difficult is it to turn the arrows in Prettyphoto back on? I looked through the code and found a simple “display:none” on pp_nav, but found that the portfolio items are not read as if they are in the same gallery. Is there a quick fix for this? BTW, I do understand that turning the arrows on creates problems if I was to add a video portfolio. I understand this.
Hey petercopu,
if you check out the prettyPhoto docs you will find the information you need to create a gallery: http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyphoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/
Essentially the main step is to place something like this onto the prettyphoto links (which are located in the page-portfolio.php file):
rel="prettyPhoto[pp_gal]"
Cheers
Great, that works.
Excellent to hear!
Is there a easy way to have a different logo on different pages. I know how to but I would prefer just to do it via css and not have to create a new template
Thanks
Hey mkurk,
since the logo is actually an image tag, there’s no way to swap it with pure css unless you modified the markup to be a background image to begin with.
You don’t have to create a new page template either, you just need some conditional logic in the header.php to swap the existing logo with another depending on the current page.
Cheers!
Thank you,
You’re welcome!
Hello! I noticed that on some pages, when first loading, the footer tends to creep up to the top before going back to its place.
For example:
http://198.57.255.55/missak-terzian/Tried removing the paralax effect but still get it. Any suggestions on how I could keep the footer gong up effect?
Update: I’ve found that the pages set to the ‘portfolio’ template load nice and smooth, even when using 3rd party plugins. The link above is now set to be such, and this one does the footer creeping up bit:
http://198.57.255.55/carlos-g-scott/I tried a workaround by adding a ‘blank’ portfolio item, and then using that in the port. category. Loads great but then I get the blank as a square. No surprise, but nice that the page loads more smoothly.
Hey Artblend! You could get rid of that blank item by adding this into your custom css box:
.portfolio-wrap {
display: none!important;
}
He Is it possible to use the portfolio part twice in the website?
And is it also possible to paginate in the portfolio section?
Hey GiselleSeguraGelink,
Yes and yes
Cheers
hi there! Question: Is there any way for the blog to have its own menu??
thank you!
Hey anagcan!
Can you elaborate a little more on what you’re trying to do? If you need to create menu links in the main header for various blog pages than the answer is yes.
Cheers
Not really…I meant the blog page having its own internal menu. I’ll use categories but I just wanted to rule out the possibility of making something nicer like a menu. =)
hi again! i have another question, something funny is happening: i’m uploading a header image to my blog, but for some reason the top of it is getting clipped off. it’s 1600×320 so it should be fine…? http://europeanproductions.com/blog/
thx!
by the way, it might not look like there’s any clipping bc i’ve added more white space to the top to “fix” it temporarily, but it is =) also, is there anyway i could make the header fixed, so that it didn’t disappear on scroll?
Hey!
The page header uses a negative margin to pull it up behind the navigation a bit so when you scroll down (if you did very slowly) you still see image instead of blank space when the nav resizes smaller. So using extra white space at the top is what you’d have to do in your case. I also see that you have you header resize off though so I will note to create some new rules to loose the negative top margin when the effect is off.
There’s also no simple way to make it fixed – you’d just need to make css rules to change the position to fixed but also need to make rules for the different viewports to handle the change of position from the top in mobile.
Cheers
Hi, just a question before buying : Is there a way to setup a page with images that link to unique galleries for each images ?
As I understand the theme, it would look like this : - a fullwidth page who references multiple porfolios (1 image with title by portfolio). - and each portfolios contain a fullwidth page with a standard centered mosaic gallery (where I’d like to put a lightbox).
Do you know if it’s possible ?
Anyway, great work, and best regards.
Hey eMKaeMKa,
You can have a portfolio made of of other portfolios – but there’s no option yet to turn an entire portfolio into only a lightbox gallery.
That’s a feature that will be coming in future releases
Cheers
Ok, thank you so much for your reactivity ! I just got one more question regarding the fullscreen videos, I intend to use videos with integrated sound or music, is there a way to stop the playback (sound or both video and sound) ? Like, during the scroll down or via a button ?
Cheers
You’re welcome eMKaeMKa!
There’s no functionality built in to do that yet, so custom development would be required – however I will note it for the wishlist
Cheers
I just updated to the new version 2.51.
when checking on my ipad, my portfolio page (after I changed it to masonry) came up blank. I refreshed it a few times, and finally it picked up the content.
however, upon clicking on my blog page (and refreshing it a few times) it is still coming up empty. (iwork3.us is the site in question)
1. why is my blog page not loading on the ipad?
2. i feel like it’s taking longer for the site to load now, even on the desktop (worse on the ipad).
3. on the porfolio page – there are options for masonry item sizing: regular, wide, tall, wide and tall. i’ve been trying to figure out the specific pixel size for these. Or does it just size (stretch and distort) as it wishes (no exact science)?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
Hey meic01!
1. You just need to clear your cache – I can see your blog loading in normally on my iPad & desktop. The v2.5 change a lot of aspects, so you need to clear your browsers cache in order to get rid of any old files that might be stuck on your end.
2. I’m getting a good load time on your site and nothing was added that would slow your site down overall.
3. There’s actually a section in the user guide (Masonry Sizing) that explains & documents exactly what sizes you need to use
Cheers
thank you so very much!
You’re welcome!
I’m using Salient theme for some time and still love it. No issue. I am wondering if you were thinking of adding some custom widgets (like a tabbed widget for popular posts, recent posts …) ? Best Regards, Erik Echo
Another question : did you plan to add a blog option like : “Related Posts” after a blog post ?
Hey Erik
Some of these items were already on the wishlist, but I’ll add the remaining on that were not
Thanks for the suggestions!
Hi there; I purchased the wonderfull theme! Perfect. When I use the home slider and only use an image, this works good on desktop browsers. But not on my iphone IOS6. IOS7 works great.
http://www.steunemma.nlAm I doin’ anything wrong there? thnx Karl
Hey eboostinteractive!
I don’t see a home slider on your link to test – just a full width section shortcode. Have you removed it?
There was never any known issues with the home slider and iOS 6, but I’ll gladly take a look for you
Cheers
Hi re: toggle panel What do I have to change where, to make an open panel closed if another one is opened?
Thanks for Info.
Mark
Hey Mark,
there’s a checkbox at the top of the shortcode configuration for “Turn into accordion?”. If you don’t see that option you need to update your version of the theme
Cheers
hi, great theme!
is possible to create a page without the top menu?
For example for use in a landing page for adword and people can´t navigate your site.
I mean, I like to create my site with the regular menu but create some pages without the menu.
Thanks and sorry for my english
Hey hermanoillo!
it’s possible but would require custom css – if you need help with this please open a ticket on the support forum http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Thanks!
Hi,
I purchased your template and I was wondering some kind of guide to follow in order to create a page similar than the one you have as a sample. However, I can only find a quick start guide that does not go deep in any point 
Is there any guide / forum with classified quiestons and answers that I can check?
At the moment I have 2 questions:
- How can I merge a “Full Width section” and some text (like the one you have in your sample home page with blue background and the text “Stop blending in with the rest of the crowd and start leaving your mark on the web”).
- How can I mix and align a “Full Width section” with picture that appears smoothly? (Like the tablets picture and the grey background that you have in the home page sample).
Thanks
Hello Douton,
There’s a support forum here: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
There’s a video tutorial series on Youtube and this particular one goes over creating the old homepage which makes good use of the full width section shortcode too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYYtSUp-cl0
and there’s a dummy data file included in your download folder which you can import to get all of the demo setups
Cheers
Hi, can you tell me how I can remove this black rectangle? If I upload images or something, the black rectangle still there…
Or how can I resize the gallery slider or make the navigation icons of the gallery bigger. Ps. sorry for my english.
Hey kassyan_123,
that black box is the placeholder when a featured image is not supplied – which is mandatory is most cases. So either supply a featured image for your project or disable the featured image from displaying on the more details page by checking the “Hide Featured Image/Video on Single Project Page” box for in your Project Configuration box
Cheers
