Hey! I love Salient, it’s simply amazing. After installing it, I changed body font color to black by using following code. body, p { color: #000!important; }

But, doing so made every “light” fonts black. My white slider text and full width section text went black. I don’t know how to fix it while keeping the body font black.

Thanks :)

Awesome! I know you have a lot of messages coming in every day. But I have one more question. After making the font color #000, I realized that bold words and normal words became indiscernible. I checked if it’s a problem caused by Open Sans, but no it’s not. What do I need to do to increase bolded text’s font weight?

Thanks :)

Hey I fixed it. By using this code, I solved this problem .bold, strong, b { font-weight: 700!important; color: #000; }

Hey again Aqeart! I’m glad you sorted it :)

Cheers!

I’d like to be able to have the portfolio sort options change based on page width… so on mobile devices the sort will be the drop down, and on desktops and wider devices the sort will be horizontal?

Is there a simple way to do this?

Hey gadgetcondo,

it would require a fair deal of development actually since not only would you need to create css to change the appearance but also some javascript logic to bind that dropdown effect on mobile when the horizontal style is active for desktop.

Hello, please actually i use a ENFOLD theme but i need to change loock-and-feel. I am looking for a theme, which has a powerful visual page builder, which manages the blog, portfolio and e-commerce. Since the site is multi-user, I need to have the login form, registered on a page or in a widget. Not that I’m asking users to access to the wp-admin to connect. Salient allows these functions?

Hey ligend!

Yes Salient allows for all of that, but you would need to use a plugin for the log in unless you already have a solution in place or are okay with using the standard WP meta widget.

Cheers :)

Hi, How can I disable the call to action bar? I had it enabled but now I want to disable it but can’t figure out how to?

Hey morpheusnow, you just need to remove your text from the “Call to Action Text” input in the theme options panel and it will go away :)

Hey Phectar,

In regards to the contact section I was curious to know. . . .

1- How I could go about changing the color of the background inside the information fields?

2- Making them a wee bit smaller in regards to their width and height?

3- How to add an extra section with 2 questions? EX.

It would say something like “What can I help you with?”

with 2 possible bullet options Freelance work, & To say hello

Similar to this site but worded differently of course… .

http://creaturebox.com/contact/

Is this easy to do?

EDIT- Oh and a drop shadow below the header menu?

Thanks so much.

-CS

Yeah that should be the same one I provided a snippet for – was it modded to your liking after adding that in?

Yes it was thanks so much.

Bought the theme. Yay. Best one I’ve bought yet.

Question – I’m building a page. In the “Text with icon” box I’m trying to add a Linecon (linecon-icon-bulb). It’s showing up on my home page a rectangular box. Boo!

Can you help?

You have the most impressive customer service EVER. Thank you. :BIGSMILE:

Dude. I looked at the codes – that was supposed to be a smiley face. I feel so ripped off. Oh well, normal smiley face for you. :)

Haha, thanks a lot :D

I read from previous comments about your live demo you, you said your logo was fixed to 30px? Howcome when I set up logo to 30px it appears extremely small, making it barely readable?

And another question, is there a way to fix the size of the header so it doesn’t increase in size when I increase the size of the logo? In other words change the padding for top and bottom? And not just the bottom padding in the header options.

Last question, when I enabled the woocommerce cart to in my main navigation why can I only see it when my site is in mobile view? Is this normal?

Apart from that, loving every aspect of the theme :D

Thanks, Kevin

Hey Kevin,

1. The logo on the demo is 30px, because it’s a very narrow & wide logo it’s makes the most of that height. Without seeing your logo I can’t say for sure, but the odds are it’s not as narrow as mine so it appears smaller at that height. You can define the height to anything you want though :)

2. The padding you set in the theme options applies to both the top and bottom which is how the logo is always vertically centered within the header. If you’re talking about making the links go up to the top of the header, that would require some modding and also turning the header resize effect off to avoid a lot of development.

3. The cart only shows on desktop when you have at least one item added.

Cheers!

A pre-purchase question. 1. Does the theme have sub navigation widget to display a list of sub pages. 2. Can we select in Portfolio page the following: a). Specific posts b).Specific categories Regards, Ravi

Hey Ravi,

1. There’s no extra widgets included with the theme relating to displaying menus – but the default custom menu widget could allow to you to display a list of pages where you need.

2. You can select the categories you want to display in every instance of the portfolio thus making it possible to have separate portfolios on different pages.

Cheers :)

Hi If I place a video slider at the top of the page then it cuts off the content. but if I put the same slider in the middle or bottom of the page then it will show up correctly on the size and content?

Thanks

Hey again!

The first section gets pulled up under the header a little is that what you’re talking about? If so add this into Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel to remedy it:

.wpb_row.first-section {
  margin-top: -30px!important;
}

Thanks ;)

You’re welcome :)

hi Nectar, i have a question before Purcharse, the Nectar Slider can load YOUTUBE video or VIMEO videos instead of MP4 uploades files?....

thank you

Hey aspcorpo!

You can only link to a youtube/vimeo video from a button on the slider to pop it open in a lightbox or you could embed it directly into the content area on the slider – there’s no way to make an external video the background of the slider though because of limitations you inherently have with emebeds.

Cheers!

oh… Got it, its true…. and can i see the Admin Panel or login? to check the features? is that possible?

You can view me work with the backend from my video tutorials here: http://www.youtube.com/user/ThemeNectar/videos & there’s screenshots of the admin panel, shortcode generator & page builder in the features menu item on the demo :)

Cheers!

Hello, I just purchased your theme. I was wondering if it was possible to have some white space around the masonry style portfolio pictures.

Thank you!

Hey DigitalLighthouse!

Technically it’s possible but would take a lot of custom css. I do however already have the css to accomplish this the full width alternative style (http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio-fullwidth-alt/) so let me know if you’re interested in that. The masonry mod would be even more complicated though I’m afraid.

Cheers :)

Yes, i’m interested. Where can I get the css?

Enter this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
body .portfolio-items .col {
   padding: 10px!important;
}
.portfolio-wrap {
 padding-left: 10px;
}

@media only screen and (min-width: 1600px) {
    html body .portfolio-items .col.elastic-portfolio-item {
        width: 19.73%!important;
    }
}
@media only screen and (min-width: 1300px) and (max-width: 1600px) {
   body .portfolio-items .elastic-portfolio-item {
       width: 24.54%!important;
    }
}
@media only screen and (min-width: 990px) and (max-width: 1300px) {
    body .portfolio-items .elastic-portfolio-item {
        width: 32.65% !important;
    }
}
@media only screen and (min-width: 470px) and (max-width: 990px) {
    body .portfolio-items .elastic-portfolio-item {
       width: 48.2% !important;
    }
}

body #portfolio {
    margin-bottom: 0 !important;
}

Is it possible to change the menu from the regular top menu to a custom wordpress menu, but only for the mobile view. So the regular site would have the standard nav but the mobile would have its own navigation called “mobile” or whatever…. How would that be done?

Thanks!

Hey irisheagle!

This would require some custom development – basically in the header.php you would add a new menu location (which you could define in the functions.php) in the mobile-menu div. That div already gets swapped out in place of the desktop one so half the work is done technically :)

Bought the theme yesterday and it won’t install on Wordpress. Tried it 100 times. I’ve Downloaded and Redownloaded the folder, zip, you name it…Nothing. When I install through WP Admin is gives me the same error page “Are you sure you want to do this?

Please try again.”

Tried to do it manually through FTP but that didn’t work as well. This is not the best start to this theme.

Can someone help walk me through this. I opened a tick this morning, but haven’t heard anything back.

Thanks. - Jarrett

I just sent you a Private Response. Thanks again.

You are AMAZING! Thank you for getting the site fixed / uploaded. Cheers!

You’re very welcome!

Cheers :)

Hey Nectar,

On the “About Us – Extended” page, it appears that you have two slider instances both parallaxed (1 a video background at the top and 1 an image background in the middle). I was wondering how you did that?

Thanks!

Hey althaua,

The top one is indeed a Nectar Slider instance, but the second section you’re referring to is actually just a full width section (aka full width row if you’re using the page builder of 3.0) with the parallax option set to true :)

I have a problem with portfolio items. Whenever I create a new portfolio item, when I try to view it, it shows 404, Page not found. It creates a link http://website/portfolio/title/ and it seems it’s not accessible for some reason. What might be the problem?

Hey hateom!

Have you tried to refresh your permalinks by going to Settings > Permalinks and clicking “save changes”?

Cheers :)

Ok, it was that easy… :) Thanks.

You’re welcome :)

Hello,

I am willing to buy your template and I have a question.

Are PSD files included in the package ?

Hey digitalopenminded,

unfortunately there’s no PSD’s included because there’s no images used in the design elements. If you needed a PSD for mocking up, a screenshot would be almost as useful.

Cheers!

Ok thanks for you answer. I am going to buy it anyway.

You’re very welcome :)

Not sure if there’s something else wrong on my end, but it seems that the bullet navigation on the Nectar Slider will not appear if you use the Visual Composer. This seems to be because the Visual Composer wraps the Nectar slider in ‘vc_row’ and ‘vc_column width=”1/1” ’ shortcode tags. When I switched back to the classic editor and removed these tags, the bullet nav reappeared. Only problem is that if I switch back to the Visual Composer to edit the page, it wraps the Slider in these tags again (so I basically can’t use the Visual Composer unless I always switch back to classic and remove the tags before saving).

Hey efitzpatrick,

All of the Nectar Sliders on the demo are in the page builder rows and can correctly display bullets – I just tried locally to get them disappear when wrapping them in a vc row, but was unsuccessful. Have you cleared your cache since updating? Also, can I grab a URL showing a Nectar Slider where the bullets won’t show so I can take a look?

Cheers!

Hi Nectar,

Just two quick questions.

I’m having trouble getting the parallax in the nectar slider to work on latest version of safari for mavericks although it works fine on chrome. Is there some setting I’m missing?

Lastly, is there any particular mailchimp plugin you would recommend for use with your theme?

Thanks, Alex

Ps fantastic job so far! I’m really enjoying the theme.

Hey saferisk!

1. The parallax effect being fixed but not animating was done on purpose (you can see the conditionals in the slider script) to help with performance issues – Safari is not as capable as the other browsers so leaving that on caused some glitches.

2. Unfortunately I don’t have any specific one to recommend though the form styling of Salient should automatically apply onto any inputs, so whatever plugin you go with should look fine :)

Cheers!

Hello Mr. Necta, great theme 5*.
I am having issues with theme. I have installed the dummy data and after I see an error in all the plug ins. You will see this error in every single page. FoxWebpages.com
Do you have idea what it could be?

Waiting for your replay.

Thanks

Hey again!

Somehow you’re running 2.6.5 but have the 3.0 dummy data – would you like me to install v3.0 of the theme for you?

Cheers

That is strange…yes please..

Ok :) Please check your email to follow up

Oh my God! This is the best template on the World! Absolutely amazing! Perfect in every detail! Thank you so much!

Hey garrfik, thanks so much! I’m glad you love it :)

Cheers!
