Hey there how do you change the font style of the page menus on the home page?

Hey asad22,

If you want to change the font style just on the home page nav, you’ll need to use custom css which will target just that one page in the beginning of the rule.

If you are looking to globally change the nav style, you can do so in the typography options tab :)

8,000 woohoo!

Haha, cheers technitrad! :)

Hi there,

I’m trying to add the Zopim chat widget to the Salient theme, but it seems like the widget gets wrong z index. It gets loaded but disappears as soon as the scrollbar appears.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks!

Mattias

That didn’t solve the problem it seems, it still disappears. I’ll try to find a solution, but if you have any other ideas please let me know.

Thanks for your help!

Seems to have solved it now. Instead I encountered another problem when entering the website on https, then my YouTube videos in the prettyphoto boxes doesn’t load. Seems to have something to do with insecure content and the protocol at line 282 in prettyPhoto.js. If I change to // instead of http:// it works, but would be great to not need to change this every time I update the theme.

You’re welcome!

in regards to your new query – That’s a piece directly built into the plugins script, which isn’t my own code. If you know you’re going to be using https for it I would just enqueue that script in a child theme with that mod so it will persist through updates – I will most likely not being touching that script often so you’re safe :)

Hi

The text on the slider when viewing on mobile is very very small. Can you take a look and let me know how to fix this, please?

Also, what’s the best way to speed up the site? I’ve kept the videos as short as possible on the homepage.

Thanks!

Hey Gareth!

1. The text on the slider scales down in proportion to the slide backgrounds in order to avoid clipping on the images. If you want to get larger text on mobile you can either turn on the fullscreen option for your slider so there’s more space on mobile to allow bigger text, or you could adjust the css in the responsive stylesheet to your liking.

2. The only optimization I’ve done for the demo is a basic W3 Total Cache configuration – I recommend you install that and check out some tutorials for an optimal setup :)

Cheers

I get a lot of 404 errors when creating a portfolio page any help would be great

Hello kweaver192133,

If you’re using pagination and getting 404’s when changing pages – you must enter a slug into the slug option in your portfolio options tab in the Salient options panel and then resave your permalinks in Settings > Permalinks.

If you’re just getting 404’s on the more details page, try simply refreshing your permalink structure by going to Settings > Permalinks and clicking “Save Changes”.

If both of those suggestions don’t help, please open a support ticket :)http://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Cheers

Thanks for the quick reply… great theme btw. I have used or help design a few themes and this one is pretty intuitive

Thanks a lot :)

Hi there,

Just wondering if it’s possible to rename the Portfolio category sitewide? Would love to use it for an Events or Department page?

James

Hey James!

Yes, you can call it whatever you like :)

Cheers

Hi, got the Theme yesterday and have a lot of fun with it! Please help me with 1 little issue: Where can i change from home slider to nectar slider in homepage? Cannot find out where to assign, also reading trough the comments here.

Thanks a lot!

Hey meranomaia!

You can use the Nectar Slider on any page by simply placing the shortcode. Here’s my tutorial on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLU9Pxo_RD8

If you need to unassign the home slider, just change the layout from whatever home layout you’re using in the Page Attributes box to default instead :)

Cheers!

Ok, it works now thanks!! Have a nice day!

Great to hear! :)

Hi, is there any way that I can align my body text to the center-bottom of the page?

Hey theblindjedi,

You can center your text using this button or you could use the “Centered Text” option in your column shortcodes. As for the bottom alignment, it depends on what you’re trying to align it to the bottom of really. One method of achieving that would be through top padding/margin.

Cheers

Hmm. Lets say the page is empty without any text. how do i go about aligning a short text that says something like, “welcome. click to enter.”, to make sure it appears at the bottom of the screen even if i resize the the window? Thanks in adv!

You’d have to use some custom scripting if you need that outside of the Nectar Slider. If you want to use a Nectar Slider, there’s an option to align the text towards the bottom and also a fullscreen option which would ensure it’s always aligned that way.

Cheers

Love 2.5.1. Great job! There isn’t much I can’t image that can’t be done with the Nectar Shortcodes :).

Also although I do love the Search functionality, I really need to remove it in favor of using a search widget I can use on some pages, and not use on other pages. How do turn it off? Can I use CSS to do so?

Also a small feature request: I want a subtitle in small font that lives below the logo. Just like here: http://blog.bufferapp.com

Maybe its a selection check box to activate in the Header Setting, with an input field to enter your text. Its really useful for first time users who jump on a website and have no context for what the site is about.

Cheers and Thanks JA

Ah rad! Yeah, I nulled out the whole top nav with an edit to this above code… BIG THANK YOU!

Would it make sense to to have a custom CSS input box on each page/post, so all the edits could be stored per page? I suppose centrally locating the CSS customization like you have designed it currently does make it simple to look for all edits, site wide. Thoughts?

It is definitely more practical to keep it all in one place, but I bet you could find a plugin to add a css box on every post/page if you looked :)

Hello Theme Nectar …

I am making great progress with you excellent theme. I ran into a snag however and I wonder if you can advise…

I took the Elements page and edited it into Terms of Service. I thought I was editing a copy of Elements an saving as Terms of Service, but apparently it was the original.

I now want to create a Privacy Policy page editing Elements – but there is no more Elements, just Terms of Service. And I can’t seem to make a copy of Terms of Service to edit into Privacy Policy.

How do I add a COPY of a page to my site and not the original? Confused!!!

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!!

Best, David

Hey David!

You could always just create your new page “Privacy Policy” and paste the entire contents of your Terms of Service page into the editor. If you paste it into the text tab on your editor it will bring over all of the heading tags/alignment stuff too :)

Cheers & Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

Oh I see. I didn’t see the html for the headers and footer in the text editor, plus, this version of WP no longer has an “HTML” tab, it says “Text” which is a completely different thing. WP should have a “Copy Page” feature so you have the option to not use the originals in case you want to use the pages multiple times without a workaround.

WP is so easy, feels like cheating sometimes, but occasionally I wish I could get at the html and edit there.

The site I’m doing is killer, such a beautiful and flexible theme!

Cheers

Hey again!

I’m glad to hear your site is coming on so nicely!

By the way the text tab can parse HTML and should display the actual markup for heading tags.

Cheers :)

i set the slider to auto slide yet its not playing – www.thyroiddoctortampa.com

Hello clowd24,

Have you actually set the autorotate on the Nectar Slider shortcode or just input a rotate timing in the options panel for the Home Slider? They’re two separate things and the Nectar Slider uses a parameter on it like this to set an autorotate:

[nectar_slider location="About" slider_height="600" autorotate="5000"]

Cheers :)

where do i put in this code?

That’s just an example shortcode similar to the one already in your editor. I only added that to show how the autorotate parameter looks. I highly recommend you watch this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLU9Pxo_RD8 as it should get you a lot more comfortable with the Nectar Slider :)

Hello

How do I get rid of divider line in full widh section when using centered heading shortcode ?

Hey Shanno!

Enter this into your custom css box:

.row .col.section-title {
   margin: 0px!important;
   border: none!important;
}

Cheers

portflio page…. explorer 10 error… ????????? ??????? ??? ???. ??? ?????

Hey seruvasio, i’m not sure what you’re referring to but there’s no known issues with the portfolio in IE10. If you can provide more details i’ll gladly look into it though :)

Thanks

Hi TN,

Sometimes my site name isn’t my copyright name. So wouldn’t it be a good idea in the Footer options to default only show the copyright info when the ‘Footer Copyright Section’ entry box is not filled with text. If the box is filled then it’s quite easy to add the right copyright info my self. For example:

Copyright © 2013 COMPANY NAME – info@domainname.com – tel: 023-5000000
Sitemap | Website WEBSITE DEVELOPER NAME .

Now I have to remove the default Copyright info from the source file. Hope you can fit functionality this in.

Cheers,
Henry

Hey Henry,

thanks for the suggestion – the auto population of the beginning copyright text is only there so you don’t need to update the year yourself. I’ll note to make an option to work around this though :)

Cheers

How do I get the split color effect across the page like this: http://cl.ly/image/2P1b2b2P3a1U

Hey wesleysoccer,

by uploading it as the BG image in a fullwidth section shortcode. http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/split-color1.jpg

Just set the padding top or bottom to the height you want the section to be. For example, I used “10” on the demo.

Cheers

Hi, Does it come with .psd Files to make a re design?

Hey designforbranding,

no PSD files are included since the theme does not use images for design elements. Simply taking a screenshot of the theme would be just about as useful for mockup purposes.

You’re welcome!

Great work Themenectar. I am a big big fan of the theme and have recommended it to many friends because it is so interactive, sleek, and user-friendly. Can you just help me with one problem I have been working on. Trying to make a custom home page, something like this http://www.thunderbuddies4life.com/rufio_onepage/ and cannot seem to figure out how to get my revolution slider fullscreen and above the header. Have been trying, unsuccessfully, for the last week to get this to work, but I have no idea how to do it. Do you have any ideas? I would greatly appreciate some help on this.

Thanks, and keep up the great work,

JKupperstock

Hey JKupperstock, thanks a lot!

You would need to make custom template file for the home page where you inserted the Revolution Slider outside of the container in order to get it full width. As for getting it above the header and having the header stick to the top when scrolling past it – that’s a fairly complicated mod in which you would need to make a function through javascript to change the position of your header to fixed only after scrolling down to that point. You’d also need to alter all the existing rules for the header since it’s set up to always be fixed.

Cheers

How about a much simpler fix. Can you just provide me with a script to make a full screen revolution slider, and nothing else beneath it. I just want to use it for the landing page…

Hey again,

I believe that Rev Slider has an option for full screen built in already so if you want hide the footer on your home page as well you could use this into your custom css box:

.home #footer-outer {
    display: none;
}

Cheers

Hi, amazing theme! Just a pre-sale question. Does this theme work well with facebook comments in portfolio and blog?

Thanks,

Chris

Hey Chris!

The theme has JetPacks social commenting aspect integrated well :)

Cheers

Hi, looks like a great theme! Before purchasing, do you think I could customize it this way? http://cjoint.com/13nv/CKBnHFXz1i1.htm Thx in advance Ben

Hey Ben,

that kind of depends on your css skill level as a few mods would be needed.

Cheers :)
