What new feature is comming?
Hey mzuker, please supply me an email or open a ticket in regards so I can inform you out of the comments 
Very nice theme. Bought it a few days ago and love how the projects section works. Still have yet to use the video slider as that’s one of the big interests I have in using the theme. Changing the colors has been easy and awesome. I’m finding many of the short-codes to be pretty darn cool and easy to use. Very much worth the $55! Wish I stumbled upon this earlier for a previous client I coded for.
One question while I’m thinking of it: How do you enable the Gallery Only projects page (http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/gallery-only-example/) and still keep the masonry section or default style for other project pages (http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio/)? For example, I’d like people to click through on one project page to see all my animation, design, videos, etc in one layout style… But have a separate photography project page in the Gallery Only style.
Thanks again and I look forward to your future features and updates!
Or – better yet, is there a way to get the masonry look/functionality (darkens screen and shows image and you can cycle through) just for photos/images up to the gallery?
Hey mccarthybergeron!
Each portfolio shortcode you use has the option to enable “Lightbox Only” which determines whether or not the portfolio will function only as a gallery. So on your photography page just ensure that option is on and you should have the desired functionality.
Cheers
Well, you’re a genius. More than worth the $55.
Thanks so much
I am amazed at the quality of this theme. I have used over 15 different wordpress templates, and this is the one I chose for my personal site.
It blew the competition away. Easily worth twice what I paid for it. Thank you for making such a quality product, and the updates are just icing on the cake!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to write that Bryant, you made my morning!

I added this to the custom css box but it had no effect on the footer background. Any ideas?
footer-outer {
background-image: url(“http://subtlepatterns.com/patterns/triangular.png”)!important; }
Hey wootoot, that’s an incomplete css rule – it should like this:
#footer-outer {
background-image: url(“http://subtlepatterns.com/patterns/triangular.png”)!important;
}
Cheers
Hey, how do I do the tiny coloured icons because when I do them in “tiny” they’re always grey, I want them coloured. I’ve set the colour to extra-colour-1 which is purple, and it work in “small” “large” etc but in “tiny” It’s always grey. I know you must be able to do it because it’s show on the demo site
What do I have to do to make it work?
Heres a screenshot – http://cl.ly/image/0S0S1l2u2p1VThanks
Hey gafstr!
The icons you’re seeing in the projects attributes are auto generated and not actually tiny icon shortcodes – it’s true that as of now the tiny icons will always be grey, but I plan on allowing them to have color in the next update. If you want to do it yourself now, here’s a workaround:
switch to the text tab on your editor and wrap the icon shortcode in a span with a class like this:<span class="sweet-color"> [icon_shortcode_here] </span>
now in your custom css box in the Salient options panel you can define the color you want:
body .sweet-color i {
color: #84ff00!important;
}
Cheers!
great, any idea when the update will be out and what else will be in it?
Thanks
The update will be out in a week most likely and I’m still keeping the new addition a bit of a secret for now – sit tight!
OK, so maybe I’m a little bit thick, but is there a way of changing the text colour on the page header title and subtitle, I’ve looked for the code using the editor, but can’t see it. Thanks
Hey bluegecko!
You can use a css snippet in your custom css box (located in the theme options panel) like this:
body #page-header-bg h1, body #page-header-bg .subheader {
color: #333!important;
}
Cheers
excellent thanks!!
You’re welcome
Hello, is it possible to add imdb at the footer as social icon at bottom?
Thank you in advance!!!!
By the way!!!AWESOME THEME!!!!! P:)
Hey emanos!
You would just need to open the footer.php file and add a new list item into the:
<ul id="social">
which would contain your icon/image of IMDB
Loving the theme.
I installed the Post Type Order plugin to re-order my portfolio. However, this only affects the portfolio page. The single-project view PREV and NEXT buttons still function using the date.
Is it possible to have the PREV/NEXT project buttons follow the custom post order set by the plugin?
UPDATE: I may have been wrong about this behavior. Will need to re-test. Apologies.
Hey matijaerceg!
No worries – just let me know if any other problems come up
Cheers!
Hey there—I’ve been using Salient for a number of sites for a while now and it’s great!
I’ve recently gotten into attempting to customize it though and run into a few issues—the main thing at present is when I use the following shortcode:
[recent_posts title_labels=”true” category=”blog”]
It displays three posts side by side, and then the 4th post on it’s own line. I can’t seem to get the 4 posts to line up evenly like they do on the home page. (Additionally, I can’t seem to figure out if there’s a way to change the category of the posts displayed on the home page.)
Do you know what might be causing that issue? Thanks!
Ah—It seems Salient and Disqus aren’t playing well with one another! Installing Disqus changes the format of Recent Posts, FYI. Unsure why.
Hey olganunes!
1. Is there anyway you could share a URL where this is happening so I can help you figure out why?
2. Interesting, the only issue I was aware of with Disqus was the fact the comment count would be wrong – have you considered using the social commenting module in JetPack? That should work good
Cheers!
Top line of posts is short code, bottom line of posts is from the home page template.
If there’s a way to modify the home page post category, also, lemme know! Adding ‘category ==> 3’ or what have you to the template seemed to not do the trick.
I’ll look into jet pack, thanks! Was hoping to stay with Disqus as I’d been using it for a while on my current site and would like to keep the old comments, but we’ll see…
Thanks again!
Hey again olganunes!
It appears it’s Disqus that’s breaking the recent posts layout – please try deactivating this to confirm. Also as long as you’re on a recent release of the theme you’ll have the option to select what categories will display through the shortcode with no additional coding
Cheers!
Hey again! FYI: I got a friend to help fix this problem, so I’m up and running using your theme AND Disqus. (Hurray!) The way he fixed it is below, in case other humans come across this problem.
The problem: Bootstrap uses the class col_last to set margin-right to 0. Without this, all .col elements have a right margin of 2%. To figure out which col element is the last in a row, bootstrap uses :last-child. However, disqus appends it’s <script> tag to the same div as your blog-recent div. When it does, the last post is no longer the :last-child and therefore no longer gets it’s margin-right reset. So… it then doesn’t fit in the row and drops down below. The solution is to check “Output JavaScript in footer” in the Comments menu.
Excellent and simple solution – thanks for posting
Cheers!
Hi
I have just bought this but I am unable to upload the theme.
This is what wp is saying:
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed.
Please advise asap
Hey sheila79,
please see this help article and scroll to the “Common ‘Broken Theme’ and ‘Stylesheet Missing’ WordPress Issues” section
Cheers!
Hi. When you will fix all issues with the theme speed performance? Maybe unify all CSS and JS files in just 1, instead 15+ of each file type.
Hey again mzuker!
As I mentioned to you last time, “I can’t offer all the files combined because then that would make customizing it harder for users who do mods – I might add an option to combine in the admin panel though, just need to work out a good way to go about”
There’s no ETA on this yet – I have had to focus my attention to another highly request feature which should be arriving within a week
Cheers!
I am trying to be able to filter images by certain attributes. http://www.topdank.com/marijuana-strains/ . I currently have them as images with links to a separate page but I want to be able to filter it by All, Indica, Sativa, or Hybrid. Do I need to recreate each individual strain as a post to apply categories to it? I don’t like how it looks as a post because it puts the author, date etc. I tried doing it as a project but I got the same issue with the look. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Hey Justin!
I would set these up as portfolio items which I could supply some css for you to hide the date and other meta data you don’t need
Cheers!
Thanks for the advice! I would appreciate it if you could supply me with the css to hide the unwanted info.
Sure! Use this in your custom css box:
.portfolio-items .col .work-info .vert-center p {
display: none!important;
}
and make sure to use the alternative project style for the portfolio so you’ll end up working with this look as a starting point: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio-fullwidth-alt/
Cheers!
How do I choose the alternative project style?
I have never made a portfolio so sorry this is probably a silly question. So you recommended using the strains as portfolio items. Does that mean I make each page for example Blue Dream as a portfolio, Orange kush as another portfolio or do I make blue dream a post or project and then the page that I want it to display all the strains is the portfolio? Dumb question but I am just not familiar with how this usually works. Thank you!
Hey again!
Check this tutorial out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ql7B-mjDBI it’s a little outdated at thius point just because there’s a lot more options that have been added since shooting the video – but the main process its still the same and should get you going
Cheers!
Dear ThemeNectar. I just purchased this theme and am loving it. It gives me plenty of options to build stuff. But I have a few things I am still working on adjusting. Can you help me with this?
1) I read that it’s possible to change the size of the featured images on the page that shows the blog posts when adjusting a snippet in the functions.php file. But what snippet do I need to change? I would like to display my featured images at a size of 200×200px by default.
2) When my home slider is loading it displays with a black background at first. But since my image (only one for now) is almost white, I would love to change that background colour. I thought I had found the right color code in the CSS file, but after changing it, nothing happened. Could you indicate where I could change that colour?
3 I am not sure where to find it. I would love to have the categories of my blog posts displayed like it’s done here: http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266 But I can’t find the information on how to do it in the user guide. I thought I could find it amongst the widgets to add to the side bar, but I don’t see a widget for categories that look as shown on your live demo. Maybe I am missing something?Thanks so much in advance!
Hey irrimiri!
1. Please see this in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/139880
2. Sure, add this into your custom css box to alter the color:
html body #featured {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
3. The widget I’ve used to display the categories in the sidebar is in fact the default WordPress “Categories” widget – I’ve also left the option for “Display as dropdown” unchecked in that. Is there anyway you could allow me to see your URL so I can check on what yours is displaying as?
Cheers!
Dear ThemeNectar,
Thanks for your helpful reply.
I was able to solve it all. And about 3) That was a mistake of mine. I thought that the categories didn’t look right, but I accidentally used the widget of an active archive plugin (instead of the default one).. I forgot about it and it was still enabled. Now it looks the same as in the demo and pretty
By the way, one more question. Thanks to the Q&A here I found out that it was possible to use images instead of captions for the home slider. I used an animated gif for both header and caption, because I wanted to try it out. So far it seems to work and it’s looking nice enough, but I wonder if this could cause problems with the theme in the long run? Maybe a silly question, but would you recommend it?
(example www.bosplaatjes.nl) – It’s been a bit of a try-out since I love the clean style of this website, but I tried to make it a bit more playful 
Thanks again!
Hey again irrimiri!
That won’t cause any problems going forward, don’t worry about it!
Your site looks great by the way – nice work!
Cheers!
haha thanks very much!! Glad you like it __
Can I ask one more thing though? I have made a ‘connect’ page with the social icons from the theme. I used the big ones to see what it would look like, but when hover over one of the icons, all icons highlight together. Not sure if there is something wrong with the code.
I added a placeholder between the icons to allow them a bit more space without having to fiddle with css (lazy) But that shouldn’t be the cause right?
See it live here: http://bosplaatjes.nl/connect/ This was the code used:[one_half_last]<br />
<a href="http://www.dribbble.com/irrimiri" title="dribbble" target="_blank">[icon color="Extra-Color-2" size="large" image="icon-dribbble"]</a><img alt="" src="http://www.bosplaatjes.nl/plaatjes/placeholder.png" /><a href="http://instagram.com/irrimiri/#" title="instagram" target="_blank">[icon color="Extra-Color-2" size="large" image="icon-instagram"]</a><img alt="" src="http://www.bosplaatjes.nl/plaatjes/placeholder.png" /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miriam_bos/" title="flickr" target="_blank">[icon color="Extra-Color-2" size="large" image="icon-flickr"]</a><img alt="" src="http://www.bosplaatjes.nl/plaatjes/placeholder.png" /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Miriam-Bos-illustrations/194345707250928?sk=wall" title="facebook" target="_blank">[icon color="Extra-Color-2" size="large" image="icon-facebook"]</a><img alt="" src="http://www.bosplaatjes.nl/plaatjes/placeholder.png" /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/irrimiri" title="twitter" target="_blank">[icon color="Extra-Color-2" size="large" image="icon-twitter"]</a> [/one_half_last]
Thanks very much in advance!
Hey again irrimiri!
The large icons actually get the hover effect when you hover over a column that contains them so the only way to make them hover individually would be to have them in columns on their own row without any custom mods to the theme.
Cheers
When adding a portfolio item, it leads me to a 401 page…. both links go to the same site… help!!!
Hey beachhippie,
Is there anyway you could post a URL so I could check on this for you? Also, make sure you’ve tried to refresh your permalinks by going to settings > permalinks and clicking “save changes”.
Cheers!
Hi guys!
I looove your theme.
Just one question, is there a way to avoid using the Home Slider and use the Nectar Slider on the homepage?
Best! MT
Hey MT, of course!
All you need to do is unassign the home layout you have on your page (change the template to default in the page attribute box) and then drop a nectar slider shortcode on the page where you desire
Cheers!
In the preview, under features, some of the menu topics were in separate columns. How do I achieve that look, instead of the straight dropdown list. Thanks.
Hey rswayenvato!
Please see this in regards: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZPPUTbvTKQ
Thanks so much! I found it after a little more digging also. I love your layout and options.
That’s great to hear
Cheers!
Hello, I’m installing the portfolio and on the portfolio category page (for example this one http://stage-rando-trial-enduro.com/project-type/paca/), the image don’t display. Can you help me please ? Thanks Laurent
Hey Lauren!
Instead of trying to link to a category page based on the project-type in the URL, just create a page which uses the portfolio shortcode or layout set to display that one category
Cheers!
Hi, Thank’s for your response but I think it’s not a good idea. There is a “portfolio category page” which is created automatically and I don’t understand why It doesn’t work. And It should be. Create a duplicate content with a new page is not a good solution for me.
The items are not fading it on that layout in the current release due do a small bug – it will be resolved in the upcoming release. I also suggested creating a pages separately because that way you can keep the sortable filters as well.
Cheers
Love this theme and am ready to purchase!!! Thank You for the great excellent work. I have one question. I have a iMac / Use Safari. My mouse doesn’t seem to be able to scroll up and down. Is this a side scroll bar only site. If so thats fine
Love your work
Please Ignore,...... It was the theme forest frame, causing scrolling issues to not work
Hey franklyngrant, I’m glad it was just the iframe causing that for you
Cheers!
Hi guys, is there a way to show recent projects and portfolio items in in “project-style=1” without the “view larger” button?? Is there a way to make that button disappear?
Hope so
Thanks in advance,
Arthur
Hey Arthur,
Add this to your custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.portfolio-items .col .work-info .vert-center a:nth-child(1) {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers!
I’ll create a support ticket but thought I’d comment here as well. Just wondering if there is a quick fix for this. When I scale my browser down all the way, or view on an iPhone, the header and content on my nectar slides is too large and gets clipped. Here’s a screenshot: http://test.crp.ab.ca/WordPress/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Screen-Shot-2014-01-02-at-10.36.55-AM-2.png
Here’s the site’s temp URL: http://test.crp.ab.ca/
Thanks! Crystal
Hey Crystal!
It appears that you’re missing styles for the nectar slider content in the repressive stylesheet – what’s your ticket ID? I’ll add the rules for you, make sure your ticket has the login credentials
Cheers!
