Hi, I was wondering if there is any way to remove the black border that appears when I include an iframe embed link from Vimeo?

Hey jimmyree, that’s getting addressed in the next release coming out soon :)

Cheers!

Hello. Great theme.

I’d like to know if this theme supports password protection for projects within the portfolio section.

Thanks in advance.

Hey colourblock!

Yes, it does :)

Cheers

Is it possible to add one or more searchable portfolios to the home page?

Hey again,

yes – by using the portfolio shortcode you can place a sortable portfolio anywhere you need :)

Cheers

Brilliant. I’ll see how it goes.

Sounds good :)

Is it possible to encorporate the Slider Revolution Responsive WordPress Plugin into this theme?

Hey marktaffs,

yes, but you might need to make some custom css to get it to fit nicely.

Cheers

I’ll give it a whirl. Thanks.

You’re welcome!

This portfolio have an error on hover in responsive version.

The hover not show the buttons, show an gray square. Can you solve this issue? Thank you!

Hey Ararazu,

if you load the actual page in mobile size you’ll see that each portfolio item just acts a link to the more details page. There’s no point of having a view larger button on mobile since the lightbox would only be able to display the image at the same size you’re already viewing at.

Cheers

Hi,

Just wanted to know how to enable comments for pages, usual way by ticking the box on the page details doesn’t seem to work.

Kind regards,

Hey mtb,

currently there’s only comment support of posts and portfolio items – i’ll add this also into static pages for the next release as well :)

Cheers

Hi!

Is there any chance you can specify the theme-files that actually have been modified in future updates?

This in regards to custom coding and not having the code being overwritten where no files have been modified for the latest update.

Bless

Hey Chechin!

I will try to include that list going forward :)

I used to supply line diffs as well, but since some of the updates I’ve been pushing out contain 1000+ line changes it has become more practical to recommend the use of child themes instead of modifying any core files.

Cheers!

sorry if this has been answered already but where can I find your video of the coding that you mention was free to use?

Hey ryanwillb!

The video url gets imported with the sample data, but here’s a direct link if you need it to download: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/coding.mp4

Cheers :)

Hi there, i’m trying to replicate the full width video that uses the blue skyline video. I have downloaded the skyline video but could you tell me how you made it blue like in the demo?

Also is it possible to add sub-heading to the regular (non-nectar) slider?

Thanks

Hey drog1998,

1. I added the blue coloring when editing the video in After Effects.

2. The sub heading is a feature only built-in for the Nectar Slider – adding into the Home Slider would take some custom development.

Cheers :)

Many thanks for clearing those up.

ps. It’s the best Theme i’ve ever used. Keep up the good work.

Thanks a lot :)

Cheers!

Anyone know the custom css to turn the background and header white?

Hey beachhippie,

here’s a snippet you can use:

body, body .container-wrap, body .page-header-no-bg {
   background-color: #fff!important;
}

Cheers

Thank you!!!!

You’re welcome!

Hi there,

I can’t seem to figure out how to make this portfolio layout work: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio-fullwidth-alt/

What do I need to do?

Never mind figured it out :)

Also, is the Portfolio Extended Item basically a full-size page? If not, how do I make it work? Where is the slider on the top coming from? Thanks!

Hey gregorypeel! I’m glad you sorted your first question :)

As for your second – this should answer everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qVplZzPnRA

Cheers!

Hi I am looking for the dummy data file to import into word press. I can not find it in the file (viewing your tutorial). Where is it located in the files?

Hey Vladione,

it’s located directly inside of the folder you download from ThemeForest. It’s named “dummy-data.xml”.

Cheers

Hi! Awesome theme! I have one question… Sorry for my english. My wordpress automatically update to 3.7.1 version. When i select in reading settings de post page to the option: Blog, and later i go to check the changes there is this message:

Index of /blog

Parent Directory wordpress-3.7-to-wordpress-3.7.1.patch Apache Server at llegaracasa.com Port 80

Could you help me?

Hey veneriojavier!

That sounds like a server issue unrelated to your theme – I would check with your hosting provider in regards :)

Cheers

Greetings,

I recently bought your theme at work for a client website. I – just like the other of thousands of people that bought it, LOVE IT!! although at the moment, I am running load speed tests on Google PageSpeed Insights. One considerable difference is the speed score between your website and mine as listed below. Are there any loadspeed plugins you use in relation to your website of http://themenectar.com/demo/salient

Thanks :)

2 problems I get which you don’t have are:

Enable compression Compressing resources with gzip or deflate can reduce the number of bytes sent over the network.

Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content Your page has 3 blocking script resources and 4 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.

Hey Terencepho!

The enable compression warning deals with your server compression setting. You can contact your hosting provider and ask them to enable gzip compression.

As for plugins on the demo – I am only using W3 Cache which you can find tutorials of all over the place to configure.

Cheers!

Awesome theme. But I can’t figure out for the life of me why the ability to filter/sort portfolio by categories has suddenly disappearing after updating to 2.5.1

Neither horizontal sorting nor dropdown sorting works. Am I missing something obvious? Thanks!

Hey again!

I’ve logged in and enabled the option for you :)http://i.imgur.com/5CXgDkU.png

You’re a hero, thanks for going above and beyond!

You’re very welcome!

Hi,

In Opera 12.16 when mousing over a large icon, eg this: [icon color=”Accent-Color” image=”icon-cloud-upload”] it crashes the browser. This does not happen in any other browser including Opera 18.0.

Thanks, Jozef

Hey Jozef,

I just checked on Opera 12.14 and can not see any issues with the icon shortcode – the hover effect is made form css only and since there’s no scripting involved, it would be very odd that it could crash a browser. I’ll update to your version and see if I can replicate though.

Cheers

Hello – curious if you have any recommendations on how to make the Portfolio Section of the Homepage (see the bottom) look nicer?

http://alliqua.com/

Hey dcress!

Enter this into your custom css box in your theme options panel:

body .portfolio-items .col {
   background-color: #fff!important;
}

Awesome – thanks!

You’re welcome :)

Can you provide screenshots of all the theme options and shortcodes available? Thank you so much!

Hey joetweber, there’s already a screenshot of the shortcodes here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/shortcode-generator/

and the theme options panel would require a ton of screenshots due the high volume of options, but you can also get an overview of the sections here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/intuitive-options-panel/ and if you are wondering if there’s a specific option I can let you know :)

Cheers

Hi, I’ve made quite a few modifications to the theme so far and it’s looking absolutely amazing (good job on the theme, code is so clear to work with). But sadly I’m stuck on the last bit of code changing to change the white background on basic pages to a background image. I can’t seem to find the correct div to add the background-image (and center) tags to.

Thanks in advance! Once again, great theme!

Perhaps you could help me out with a small issue happening with all the media plugins: http://www.hearthstone-league.be/?page_id=825 (the size of the chat/video embed is ignored and always reverted to this size (only in the Salient theme) any idea what’s causing this? Thanks

Never mind Nectar, I’ve fixed things by using iframes to disregard the css styling on the twitch.Tv embed. I should think more before asking support :p I can suggest anyone this theme cause of the insane amount of customization!

Hey ColourCore,

I’m glad you found the answer to your issues!

Thanks for your compliments too :)

Cheers

Hi Mate,

Total Noob Question but looking set setting up a combination of Images and Videos in our Home Page Slider, but having issues trying to work out what the size should be of both of these. The images look ok, but videos aren’t looking right.

You can see in the second slide that the video has been moved down for some reason, having the bottom of the video cut off.

Are their specific sizes recommended?

Thanks so much for your help, its an amazing theme!

Regards, Matt

Hey Matt!

That’s actually a Nectar Slider instance (the Home Slider is a separate slider) and the required aspect for videos in there is 16:9. The size is up to you, but as long as you upload in that aspect ratio it will display as it should :)

Cheers
