Feature Request: Let us choose between chronological order for sorting portfolio items or alphabetical order, based on category then subcategory.

i.e. category “2013 Awards” with subcategories “Gold” and “Silver” would sort alphabetically with portfolio items under Gold, then do Silver.

Do it and I will send beer money via PayPal.

Hey darrenkitlor!

Thanks for the suggestion and the beer money motivation :)

Cheers!

Beautiful theme, just a quick pre-sales query – is it possible to switch off the speed scroll effect? When I scroll down it’s difficult to use via my laptop, if this can be disabled it’d be perfect.

Thanks

Thanks familychoice!

Yes, there’s an option for this in the theme options panel :)

Cheers

BuddyPress integration: yay or nay?

Hey darrenkitlor,

the next update will supply support for it :)

Cheers

Apologies. I’m sure this can be done, but I’m unable to find out how.

How can I create multiple portfolios and assign different projects to them?

Thanks.

Awesome Theme

Hey camppete!

You can accomplish this by using the portfolio shortcode. It has options for you to choose a specific category set. (This was added in version 2.5, so make sure you’re on version equal or greater than that)

Cheers!

Great theme – I love the ability to have video on the homepage.

I have 3 questions, the first being the most important:

1. Is there a way to make the font color in the body of the text black? The gray on gray doesn’t have the contrast/readability I’m looking for.

2. Where are the icons (or are they called flavicons?) stored, I need to add some that are more appropriate to my categories (i.e., a TV icon, or a film camera icon which is more representative of what I do).

3. Any way for us to have our twitter feed show up in the footer or side panel?

Many thanks for a great theme!

Hey boydmcc2!

I’m glad you were able to sort 1 & 2 :)

In regards to 3, you would need to use a plugin since there’s no built in functionality to assist with that.

Cheers

I was thinking I’d need my own plugin. Any recommendations? I’m trying Juiz Last Tweet, but it’s not quite working, though it could be I didn’t set up the Twitter development app thingy correctly. (“thingy” used here to indicate I’m a total noob with some of this stuff!). Thanks!

Haha, no worries!

Unfortunately I haven’t used any recently to have a valid opinion. A quick Google search would most likely yield more useful information in regards to “the best” or most popular choices :)

Cheers!

Hello. have the documentation in German? Thank you in advance, greeting

Hey Skynet_GR! The documentation and video series is in English.

Cheers

Great Theme!!! But the Lightbox only got a button (X) to close it. Why there is no button to jump to the next image? :/

Hey jkmd,

that’s a feature that’s going to be added in the next update :)

Cheers

Great theme ;) Good work!

Thanks a lot com98! :)

Have been working with the theme for a few weeks now and it’s still awesome :)

Can you tell me where I can change the appearance of the recent posts shortcode? I found out how to edit the appearance of blog posts and single posts but I couldn’t find the php file for the recent posts widget.

Thank you!

Hey yahata, that’s awesome to hear!

You can find the file for that at nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php :)

Cheers!

Done!! Thank you very much :)

You’re welcome!

Are yo looking into adding Revolution Slider into the next version?

Hey marktaffs, I am currently not looking into adding additional sliders to the theme at this time.

Cheers

@yeaitsedgar you have to enable secondary nav option in the header option then switch on to display social icons.

Hey kaifanun! Thanks for lending a helping hand :)

How about translations? WPML is possible?

Hey fdinis,

a lot of buyers use it but I haven’t claimed 100% compatibility yet, but intend on getting around to it in upcoming updates :)

I noticed the Social Media is all on the bottom. Is there anyway you can relocate the social media tab to the top ? And can you have the blog pages be full width and other pages boxed?

Hey yeaitsedgar!

1. As kaifanun pointed out, there is an option to enable them in the header as well. You can actually see examples of that here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/headers/

2. You can use/mix any of the blog layouts shown in the demo on any pages you need :)

Cheers

Hello There,

Does this theme has the feature of adding the woocommerce shortcodes such as a few products in any page in 4 columns with a sliding feature.

Can i know if there is gonna be any update soon? What might be the new features.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Prototype21,

1. There’s no carousel feature for WooCommerce products. The only ways to place products are through the default WooCommerce shortcode.

2. Yes, within a week and it will contain a lot of bug fixes and a couple new nifty features I can’t reveal just yet on here. Sorry!

Cheers

what is the best option for full width image in the slider?

Hey wesleysoccer!

I’m not sure I know exactly what you’re asking. Are you seeking the best dimensions.. the best slider..the best compression?

If you could clarify a little more i’d be glad to help!

Cheers :)

Hello,

wonderfull theme. Does this WordPress version include a plain HTML5 template (not in php, but simple HTML)?

Thank you in advance!

Thanks diafora17!

Unfortunately it’s WP only.

Cheers

Hello,

One of the best themes Ive seen.

Is it possible to create a photo background section on a page that is full width and text overlaid?

Thanks!

Thanks a lot jsillustrated!

You can use the full width section shortcode anywhere you want on pages and place whatever content you like inside of them :)

Cheers

It does work correctly when deactivated child theme however how do I go about keeping my child in place?

Hey – you might have a code error in your child theme or are using files in your child theme that don’t line up with what the new files need to have. Did this occur when updating to a specific theme version?

I’m sorry, I have a couple more issues that have arisen since the last update.

1. On my homepage, on the Recent Work carousel, the title of one of the portfolios takes up two lines, the last of which is clipped off. I supposed its just a matter of adding a bit more space in the css, but im not sure how/where to do it.

2. When linking to a blog post in Facebook, Facebook isn’t pulling any of the images from the post as the thumbnail image (only pulls the header logo). Shouldn’t this be automatic or do I need a plugin to do this? Nor does it pull up any of the text…

thx as always themenectar!

Hey anagcan!

1. Yes, this is a small bug and the fix will be in the next release. If you want to fix it early see this ticket: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/125019/search/

2. It pulls the featured image by default – if you don’t have one it will try and grab the first image on the page. However, not grabbing text is an odd symptom, one which I haven’t encountered before. There is a plugin you can use to specify this information manually though: http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-open-graph/

Give it a try and let me know if it helps :)

Cheers

thanks so much. =)

You’re welcome!

hi themenectar,

I’m still having trouble with the loading of nectar slider galleries inside my tabbed section: http://europeanproductions.com/locations/

i know you said they initially have to stack during loading, but aside from that, upon clicking on each tab, the slider in each does not appear unless you toggle/resize the browser window. i hope you can tell me how to fix this!

thx so much.

Hey anagcan! Has it always been this way or did it start recently?

I’ll test again tomorrow to ensure this is in working order on a raw install.

Cheers!

Seems like it started up again after the latest update… thank you!

Got it, i’ll fix this for the upcoming release :)

Hello Nectar,

I already purchase it. I like it, once more congrats for the excellent work. I am having a small problem with the google fonts. When I change for custom fonts and choose any font it changes for some serif font an does not show the font I choose. http://www.dragmypixel.com/about/about-me-example/

Some problem with permitions? what do you think it’s happening?

thank you Carlos

Hey, I think I “fix it”!! Anyway, what i fI want to use typekit font or just a font@face class? You should also have line spacing and kerning options for the Type options. Just a suggestion.

Thanks

Hey Carlos, i’m glad you sorted your initial issue!

1. If you want to use custom fonts, you’ll need to add them in the same fashion you would on any website. The fact you know what @fontface is makes me think you have a little experience with this :)

2. Thanks for the suggestion!

Cheers
