Hi, i’ve a bug on portfolio section… this is the error “Fatal error: Call to undefined function ct_first_image_tn() in /web/htdocs/www.XXXXXXXXXXX.com/home/wp-content/plugins/ct-custom-posts/ct-custom-posts.php on line 70” http://oi41.tinypic.com/20uy0cz.jpg
Can you help me to fix the bug, please?!
Thanx, Giambattista
Hey Giambattista, that error is coming from a plugin you’re using – you deactivate the “ct custom posts” plugin and the issue should resolve itself 
Hey ThemNectar, I cannot get the footer widgets to work. I’ve disabled the caching plugins. Help.
Hey bkellaway,
I would ideally need to log in to check why that might be – since there’s no known issue with the widget areas it’s impossible for me to say why it might be happening off the top of my head. Just shoot me an email at themenectar@gmail.com with your info if you would like to investigate further
Cheers!
Okay I’ll shoot you a login ..
Hey again!
You just had the option for “Main Footer Area” turned off in your footer options tab in the Salient options panel – open activating it, the areas displayed as expected
Cheers & Happy New Years!
easy .. thanks for you quick response !
You’re welcome!
Cheers
Hi,
I have some presage questions: - is there a way to add some social link on top of page? I can see there are some in footer but on top of page would be nice.
- Is it possible to make a child theme of salient and is it difficult to do so?
-Is the nectar slider (which I fell in love with) easy to use? For example when you want to have a video background.
Kind regards
Chrys
Hey Chrys,
1. As this page shows: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/headers/ there’s a second menu you could activate in the header to hold social icons.
2. Yes child themes are supported and there’s no extra steps in using them with Salient than there would be with any other theme.
3. Yes, you can actually view the interface here and see for yourself it’s a simple process http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLU9Pxo_RD8

Can i use this template like shop but without sold, only product catalog like http://www.e-tobak.pl or http://www.test.epapspot.pl/product/atomizer-gsh2/
Hey epapspot,
I’m a little confused by what you’re looking for since it appears both of the links you’ve provided allow you to order the products – if you just want a catalog of products for showcasing but don’t want people to be able to order them, it wouldn’t be hard though
Cheers!
Hey, are we okay to upgrade to WP 3.8 with Salient 2.65?
Hey frominfinity, yes you’re safe to upgrade
Cheers
great! Yea, the UI on 3.8 is awesome, a pleasure to use
I have been digging it myself
Cheers!
Hi, for some reason this theme is rendering all of my PNG files into an indexed colour mode, they work better as JPEGs, and the original PNG files (even when uploaded onto my server) look fine, but when I look at the website using the Salient theme they look terrible. Any ideas? Every image on my site is a high quality PNG, I don’t want to have to reformat all imagery into compressed JPEGs if I can help it.
Hey BC03, I would need to see a URL that shows this problem in order to help you figure out what the issue is – I haven’t heard any reports of anything like this so I can’t say why this might be off the top of my head. Have you confirmed this is a Salient specific issue? I.e. does this not happen when deactivating the theme for another?
Cheers
Hey ThemNectar,
I’m using the Home Slider feature and I would like to know how to raise up the caption? It’s current value is top:225px. I need it to be like 113px.
Hey ace2296,
add this into your custom css box in the Salient options panel:
body #featured .orbit-slide article .container {
margin: -100px auto 0!important;
}
Cheers!
Hi Nectar. I checked the Gallery Slider option on all portfolio posts. It is any way to make the single portfolio gallery arrows, bigger? And one on each side? http://i44.tinypic.com/anlpfm.png The images can also be resized?
Regards. And Happy Holidays.
Hey kassyan_123,
you can actually use the Nectar Slider to get that look and also have control over the image sizing so that would be a better choice for what you’re after – I’m also going to make the Nectar Slider able to populate from a WP gallery as the gallery slider does in upcoming updates
Cheers
It isn’t what I’m searching for. Because it doesn’t show the entire image when is a portrait image. I have horizontal and vertical images on the same slider, and the Nectar Slider forces me to choose between horizontal or vertical, and I want both look good and entire.
How can I do it?
Pd. sorry for my english.
Add this into your custom css box in the Salient options panel for the mod then
body .flex-gallery ul.flex-direction-nav {
position: static!important;
}
.flex-direction-nav a.flex-next {
position: absolute!important;
right: 2px!important;
top: 50%!important;
margin-top: -20px;
}
.flex-direction-nav a.flex-prev {
position: absolute!important;
left: 0!important;
top: 50%!important;
margin-top: -20px;
}
.flex-direction-nav a {
height: 40px!important;
width: 40px!important;
}
.flex-direction-nav a i {
line-height: 40px!important;
}
Cheers
Hmm now the arrows does not appear. Well, when the image is changing, I can see the arrows 0.5 sec but they immediately disappear. 
I can’t skip the images manually.
Weird, I have the mod working normally over here – can I please see your URL to see what the issue is?
Cheers )
The website is closed.. so I can’t. I have the 2.6 version and Wp 3.8. And I do not touched the code. What can be the problem? :/
Change the snippets to this:
body .flex-gallery ul {
z-index: 0;
}
body .flex-gallery ul.flex-direction-nav {
position: static!important;
z-index: 100000!important;
}
.flex-direction-nav a.flex-next {
position: absolute!important;
right: 2px!important;
top: 50%!important;
margin-top: -20px;
}
.flex-direction-nav a.flex-prev {
position: absolute!important;
left: 0!important;
top: 50%!important;
margin-top: -20px;
}
.flex-direction-nav a {
height: 40px!important;
width: 40px!important;
}
.flex-direction-nav a i {
line-height: 40px!important;
}
Cheers
Do you guys ever respond to the tickets in the support forum? I’ve been waiting for days with no response.
Hello crystal_urban,
Even though I’m technically on a holiday break I still have indeed served 200+ tickets since the beginning of it. Please understand the queue time is longer during the this time.
Happy Holidays
Thanks for resolving my ticket. I appreciate your help, and this amazing theme!
No problem Crystal
Cheers!
hi i had one more question but instead of crowding this comment thread, i posted it in the support forum should i post it here as well?
you the man once again
Haha, thanks!
Cheers
Hello! Is it possible to have all the featured images on the masonry blog to be the same exact size?
Thanks
Hey vectology,
aside from uploading your images at the same proportions, you could make a custom image size in the functions.php file and then assign it to your featured images in each of the files inside of the includes/post-templates directory
Cheers!
This is going to be a user generated blog so I wont have control of the image sizes. Could you point me in the right direction?
I’ve posted a guide for you here: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/139880
Cheers!
Hi. Great theme. Really love it!
I do have one question regarding the blog page (http://pterneas.com/blog/): I would like to replace the “love it” button on the left with a link to the number of comments. Is this feasible?
Thank you in advance. Keep up the great work!
Hey Vangos!
It is feasible, but would require some modding – open up the files inside of the includes/post-templates folder and change this section:
<div class="nectar-love-wrap">
<?php if( function_exists('nectar_love') ) nectar_love(); ?>
</div><!--/nectar-love-wrap-->
to
<a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>">
<?php comments_number( __('No Comments', NECTAR_THEME_NAME), __('One Comment ', NECTAR_THEME_NAME), __('% Comments', NECTAR_THEME_NAME) ); ?></a>
After that it would just be a matter of css to make it look how you need it
Cheers!
Thank you very much for the immediate support!
You’re very welcome!
Hi again, is there a way to increase the text size of the body text /overall text? Thank you and Merry Christmas and great 2014!
Hey theroyalvideographer!
Yes, just select your desired font size for the body field in the typography options tab in the Salient options panel
Happy Holidays!
Thanks, Well it looks like I have to enable “Use Custom Fonts?” and set a ton of fields/boxes/options to do so… that looks too much to ask. Am I wrong?
You’re welcome
If your goal is just to adjust the overall body text, than all you have to do is select a font size in the body row http://i.imgur.com/NpoKPcD.png
I guess you were intimidated by the available control you have, but it’s pretty simply – Each row in the typography options will control a different group of elements that I used unique font styling on. This way you can control everything in the same groups I have, but you only ever need to select options for the row you wish to modify (in your case, only the body)
Happy New Years!
I’m loving the theme, however I have a quick question:
I’m certain I set all of the video things inside nectar slider up correctly, however my slider video is displaying BELOW the actual slider container (as seen here: http://217.199.187.58/purpletesting.co.uk/test/)
Any reason why?
Hey Purpefruit! Yes, this is because you have a home template assigned in your “Page Attributes” box which is placing the Home Slider at the top of the page. Please change that to be the “default” template instead
Cheers!
Howdy, thanks for a great theme. On my masonry styled blog, I like to link to different things. It would be great to have a clickable image representing the link. Is this possible or in the works? Thanks
Hey decca1o,
you could link an image form the post content to accomplish that – but the title of the post itself would still link to the single post page. You’d have to open up entry.php file located in the includes/post-templates directory and remove the link manually to stop it.
Cheers
Any way to make the responsive top nav on the mobile version stick the top when u scroll down?
Hey FromInfinity,
add this into your custom css box located in the Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (min-width : 1px) and (max-width : 1000px) {
body #header-space {
height: 56px!important;
display: block!important;
}
body #header-outer {
position: fixed !important;
}
#mobile-menu {
position: fixed!important;
top: 52px!important;
width: 100%!important;
}
}
Cheers
Thanks man, totally works great . LOVE IT!
You’re very welcome
Hi
I like this theme a lot I want to buy it.
I have a few questions:
1. Is it possible to add a line of products from the shop to the homepage? Line of products that look similar to the way three portofilio items are displayed here? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/2. Is it possible to add second navigation bar, on top of the main navigation bar that exists on the website right now? Like often we see two navigation bars, one is called “the primary nav bar”, and the second is called “the top bar” the top bar would be just touching the upper end of the window, black, and would show the links to the shop, login/log out, the shop icon, etc
3.Is it possible to have blog posts showing in the style of the portfolio icons? like the portfolio icons are shown here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/ or here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/home-portfolio-eye-candy/4.the website will need to be translated to English and Polish. Is the theme WPML ready?
Thank you for your awesome work and support Best wishes Martyna
Hey Martyna!
1. Yes, you can use the WooCommerce shortcodes to place products on any page you need to.
2. Yes – there is indeed a secondary navigation bar you can enable and color how you need it. Here’s a page showing some possible combinations: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/headers/
3. That would take some custom development actually.
4. Official support hasn’t been made for it yet, but it should work very well (a bunch of buyers are using it) if you end up choosing Salient and notice any issues just let me know
Cheers
Super, thank you for your answers
We really like this theme, it is logical, simple and artistic at the same time. Flexible.
I would like to know the cost of the customization of the blog page.
There is one more thing: Homepage has video as the main slider, would it be possible to have images instead? (Full page slider)
Best wishes and Happy New Year Martyna
You’re very welcome!
1. I wouldn’t be doing the mod directly, it would have to contracted out at http://microlancer/ (I’m unfortunately too busy to take on freelance work at the moment)
2. Yes, the Nectar Slider can have images or video bg’s it’s all up to you with what you use
Happy New Year to you too!
ok, thanks
You’re welcome!
Hi!
I am thinking about buying this theme. But I have one question. Is it possible to have a enhanced layered navigation in the Portfolio? I just don’t want my visitors to be able to sort by category in the top, I also want them to be able to, maybe in the sidebar, sort by many more options (like color, prize, language, formats etc.).
Hey Mannbej!
That would require some custom development actually as the category filter is the only in place by default.
Cheers
And there is no plugin ready to handle this? For example, WooCommerce have plugins for this in shop.
Unfortunately I couldn’t recommend any, but if there were plugins to accomplish something like that, the odds are you’d still have to do some code integration to get it to work nicely.
Cheers
is it possible to launch video in a lightbox (popup) window from a text or image link with this theme?
Hey element14,
Yes – just use this in the text tab on your editor:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqXi8WmQ_WM" class="pp">Video Lightbox!</a>
Cheers
Items that have been added to cart are not displaying corrently in the cart widget.
Here’s a screenshot: http://test.crp.ab.ca/WordPress/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/cart-widget-screenshot.jpgAny help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Crystal
Hey Crystal! I would need to see the actual URL to be able to tell you why it’s looking funky – have you confirmed it’s not a plugin conflict?
Cheers
