Hello,
When installing the theme, I tried uploading the unzipped package to wordpress for the first time and I got this message:
“Installing the theme… “The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet. Theme install failed.”
I posted this same thing on the support forum, but I’m not sure if it’s better to post here or there.
Thanks! Anthony
Hey Anthony!
Please see this in regards http://support.envato.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/269/0/my-wordpress-theme-isnt-working-what-should-i-do and scroll down to the “Common ‘Broken Theme’ and ‘Stylesheet Missing’ WordPress Issues”
Cheers! 
Thanks!
You’re welcome
Do you have a child theme for this theme because I’m tired of losing all my settings each time I update the theme.
Thanks!
Hey jjpainting! Making a child theme for Salient is the same process as any other theme – just create a child theme folder, add a style.css file and paste this in at the top:
/*
Theme Name: My Child Theme
Theme URI: http: //mysite.com/
Description: This is a custom child theme I have created.
Author: My Name
Author URI: http: //mysite.com/
Template: salient
Version: 0.1
*/
@import url("../salient/style.css");
Cheers!
Hello!
Trying to embed a video within a slide, adding the code into the caption section as I read earlier. Almost wants to show right, but here’s what I get:
http://www.artblend.com/slide-video/Sizing is wrong, and it sits in the middle, not on top.
See anything wrong? Thanks as always!
Hey artblend!
Yes, because there’s no other content the video is going to occupy the full width and there’s not enough space for it. To remedy this, add this to your custom css box:
.swiper-container .iframe-embed {
margin: 0 auto !important;
max-width: 550px;
}
Cheers
Header logo showing up insecure on ssl pages. Want to keep the logo instead of just text. Can you tell me where to look? Checing all files on server and cant find.
Thanks
Hey wootoot1234!
You can find where the logo source gets added in inside of the header.php at this line:
echo '<img alt="'. get_bloginfo('name') .'" src="' . $options['logo'] . '" />';
You could just hardcode the source instead of:
' . $options['logo'] . '
Cheers
Hi, my slider doesn’t seem to automatically scroll (www.camppete.co.uk) have checked the settings, but to na avail. Am i missing anything?
Hey camppete!
It seems that the slider on your URL is auto transitioning – is this still an issue you were having or did you resolve it?
Cheers
HI,
I’m not sure if this has been asked already and I did try to search and problem solve myself, but no success.
Subject: Header Resize On Scroll
How can I adjust the smaller, skunking version? I want to make it thinner.
Any direction would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hey madewithpassion!
If you want to adjust how much the header shrinks, open up the init.js file and search for
function smallNav()
to end up at the right place. Right under that, adjust the value for shrinkNum in these conditionals:
if (logoHeight >= 40 && logoHeight < 60) shrinkNum = 8; else if (logoHeight >= 60 && logoHeight < 80) shrinkNum = 10; else if (logoHeight >= 80 ) shrinkNum = 14;
Cheers
Hey there,
I would like to use this theme exclusively as a WooCommerce template.
From your demo, you’ve only got Shop on the navigation but I would like to have my shop categories on the navigation instead.
Can you do this easily? Also can it be a mega-nav with images (I think that’s what you call it?).
Thanks, Tim
Hey Tim!
You can indeed place category links into the menu – however, you would need a plugin like ubermenu if you planned on having images in the mega menu. By default, the mega menu in Salient can only contain links.
Cheers
Would it be possible to make the mobile menu come in from the left, facebook/mashable style, instead of expanding from the top?
That would be great.
Hey yodelay,
currently that would take a good deal of custom development unfortunately. I’ll note that idea for the wishlist though
Cheers
Hi! It appears that WooCommerce warning bars use the Accent Color by default. Is there a way to make them use a specific color hex code, or Extra Color #3 instead? Also, how could I add a warning graphic (! in a triangle) to the message?
Here’s an example: http://modulemaster.com/rebuilds/services/abs/bosch-53/ If you don’t enter something in the “Your Vehicle Info” field, you get a blue bar at the top of the page. My client wants the bar red and a warning ! added.
Thanks again! You guys have the best support anywhere.
-Will
Hey!
body .woocommerce-error {
background-color: #f81a1a!important;
}
If you want to set a warning graphic on in, just supply a URL in this of your icon graphic:
body .woocommerce-error {
background-image: url('icon-img.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat!important;
background-position: 10px 10px;
list-style: none!important;
padding-left: 45px!important;
}
Cheers Will!
Hey Nectar or anyone that knows how to do this,
Sorry for the noob question but I’m in the process of pruning the theme by removing the pages that I don’t need.
I’ve successfully deleted them from the pages section but for some reason they’re still showing up in the menu and when I click on them I get a 404 error.
In my example in particular, I want to remove the "Home- Portfolio Eye Candy" section. Actually, I'd like to remove all but the one home page I designed with no drop down menu.I assume there’s another step besides just trashing the page?
Thanks,
-CS
Hey CS!
You just need to delete them from your custom menu as well – check out the Appearance > Menus tab and erase them from there
Cheers!
Thanks so much man!
You’re very welcome!
Do you know how i can change the font for the blog only to the same as on the above blog?
Change the body text and header text to be all black instead of grey
Change the header(titles) text size to be bigger and black.
Can you help? I greatly appreciate all the support. BEST THEME EVERpassword: rachel
Thanks!
Hey dgood48080!
It seems you’ve already found the typography options tab which is where most of these changes could take place aside from the color changes – for that, enter this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
html body, header#top nav ul li a, body h1, body h2, body h3, body h4 {
color: #000;
}
To make your headers bigger, use the header deviation in the typography options tab: http://i.imgur.com/ozNXnQS.jpg – just set it to +8
Cheers
You are a God of theme support. I cant thank you enough on how wonderful this theme is and how good your support is! Thank you!
When entering the
html body, header#top nav ul li a, body h1, body h2, body h3, body h4 { color: #000; }
It effects the entire page header sections. I only want to increase the blog section titles/headers. How to I apply the custom css to only the blog section?
The problem is the titles are too small in the blog section (perfect everywhere else)
Hey again!
Use this:
article.post .post-header h1, article.post .post-header h2 {
font-size: 30px!Important;
}
Cheers
Is there any way to have the carousel auto scrolling? If not could you suggest anyway of accomplishing this
Hey poz94!
Open up your init.js file in the js folder and search for this to end up at the right place:
$('.carousel:not(".clients")').each(function(){
Scrolling down from there a little, fins this:
auto : {
play: false
}
and change it to true
Cheers!
1. Could you update a google fonts list? I can’t find Exo 2 font.
2. If one small company has a two different domains, may they use one purchased salient theme (only for their business)?
3. What about other languages? Do you think about this?
We’re waiting for your next themes!
Hey microdesign_polska!
1. Done – you’ll have this in the update I’m releasing this weekend
2. Technically it’s only legal to use it once per domain, unless of course they lead to the same location.
3. There’s a .po file included that contains all the strings ready for translation. Check out a plugin like this: http://wordpress.org/plugins/codestyling-localization/ or WPML if you need mulch-lingual
Cheers!
Thakns so much for this update.
Tell me, can I buy cheaper a second license for my second domain? Both of them are part of one company and lead to the same hosting. One domain lead to company page, a second only to woocommerce shop…
Please help me to solve the problem
I unfortunately don’t have control over the pricing or the logistics, I was just letting you know what the license states provided by ThemeForest. If you are using it for the same company on the same hosting you should be fine with just one license though – I wouldn’t worry about grabbing another
i am interested in this theme, however, for some reason, i cannot scroll using my mouse using safari on a mac…. It works fine in firefox and chrome. Is this a known issue? thanks!
Hey danpohl! I don’t recall any reports of that, no – but odds are it’s related to the smooth scroll (styled scrollbar). You can disable that in the options panel
Cheers!
Will there or is there a way to use a fade transition for the Nectar Slider?
Hey dzmond!
As of now there’s no way to do that – only the Home Slider can provide that kind of transition for the time being. Adding a fade to the nectar slider in particular would require a good deal of work because it’s completely built expecting the slide motion, but I’ll note this for the wishlist.
Cheers!
When moving the website to a new location on the server, how can I keep all settings from the theme?
Hey juistevorm! As long as you’re keeping the same database the settings will persist – here’s the official guide on changing locations and should provide you with everything you need to know http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
Cheers!
Hi everyone, i’m thinking about purchase this theme and i’ve a question for you, can i have a double depth menu? i need a voice in the menu that open me a sub menu where every single voice open a second sub menu, an example here
http://themes.laborator.co/#theme=zinccan i? thanks
Hey albeandreetto! Yes, you can have a double depth submenu – I just don’t have any on the demo, but Salient supports it
Cheers!
Can the LayerSlider plugin be used along with this theme?
I’m getting an error every time I try installing it.
Thanks.
-CS.
I figured it out. I just went into cPanel via godaddy and manually uploaded it to the server.
Hey CSMurphy! Glad to hear you figured it out
Cheers!
Hi there,
I’ve purchased Salient and love the theme but am having a lot of trouble uploading my CV nicely. Everytime I paste in my CV details (even using the past from word function) the spacing changes so that all of the column aren’t aligned. I’m wondering if there’s a way I can neatly insert content from my CV.
Very much appreciate your help!
Kind regards Anita
Hey Anita! Could you supply me a URL to the page you’ve pasted that in so I can check what HTML it ended up creating?
Cheers
Sure it’s www.anitabarnesactor.com thanks for your help.
Hey again! From the looks of your cv page, all of the columns appear aligned but I see some spacing issues I could solve for you if you allow me to log in. Also, if you can supply me a quick screenshot of how you would prefer it to look (so I have a reference of sorts) I’ll quickly match that for you
If you’re interested just submit a private ticket on http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Cheers!
I was wondering if we could modify the cell dimensions for the portfolio in masonry full width mode. It looks really good but all the images are just way to big. I’d like to cut them all in half, fit twice as many in the same space.
Where would I go to find those values? Would it work just to cut every value in half?
technically, if I was to cut every dimension in half I could fit (4) times as many in the same space. OK… how?
Hey halowse!
You would need to modify all the values in the style.css, responsive.css & init.js regarding the selector ”.elastic-portfolio-item”.
Also, you would need to add your own column definitions into the init,js file in the “reLayout” function. Honestly it would prove to be tricky if you don’t have a firm grasp of css and some experience in javascript – If you get overwhelmed I would check out microlancer
Cheers!
Ok thanks for getting back to me. I have a support ticket open with other issues now more pressing. Looking forward to the hinted new release too. Thank you
Hey again! It should be out within 24 – 48 hours
If you have an emergency, please post your ticket number here so I can make sure I get to for you

Thanks! I’ll be with you shortly
