Hey there, I’m sorry to ask something that’s half related to your template, but I’ve been using Salient (with much joy) and am having trouble replacing the nectar slider with Layerslider.

It always ends up having a black bar at the top of the screen (even if I embed it within a full width section): http://bit.ly/LHixOF

Any help would be much appreciated :-\

Cheers and congrats again on a clean theme!

PW

Hey PW,

it seems you’re on an old version of the theme :)

Add this into your Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel to fix the issues:

1.
.full-width-section.first-section {
  margin-top: -117px!important;
}
2.
body {
  background-color: #313233!important;
}

Cheers :)

You rock. Life saver. Didn’t even realize that we’re using an old version of the theme. I should re-purchase it on this account since I don’t have access to the old one anymore >_< Thanks again!

You’re very welcome & Envato support might be able to help you regain control of your license if you open a ticket.

Cheers!

Have you considered adding a SoundCloud icon for the footer in regards to adding our Soundcloud link? You have Behance and others. Thought perhaps you would consider adding SoundCloud as well. Thanks!

Hey acmediaservices!

I’ll note to add this in the next release :)

Hi,

Great theme! congratulations! Is it possible to add a background repeating pattern at the .container-wrap instead of a background-color?

thanks!

elsa

Hey elsa!

Yes – add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:

.container-wrap {
    background-repeat: repeat;
    background-image: url('your-img-src.jpg')!Important;
}

Cheers :)

Hi Love this theme TOP WORK!, before I buy can I use Slider Revolution http://themes.themepunch.com/?theme=revolution_wp to replace the header on content pages? Or are they fixed to use only the in built themes?

Thanks ttfx!

You could indeed use Slider Revolution in place of the Nectar Slider element. :)

Cheers

lovely thanks, just downloading Salient as we speak!

Great to hear ttfx! :)

Hi guys, i’m a new user of wordpress and i’ve bought this wonderful theme, i was asking myself if ther’s a simple way to use a lightbox into a page. if you have any suggestion this could make my day better.

Thankyou

Hey albeandreetto!

You can call a lightbox anywhere by adding the class “pp” to a link. For example, in the text tab on your editor you could do this:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqXi8WmQ_WM" class="pp">Lightbox Link!</a>

Cheers :)

Hello,

So far I have been having a blast with this theme. The shortcodes are beautiful and simple enough for me to use.

I am having one problem though. It seems that the pictures in my portfolio are taking a really long time to load. From what I can tell, the pictures do not appear until all of them have been loaded up by the computer. This means that I could be waiting for 40 seconds with just a blank area. I have already tried to combat this by reducing the size of the pictures by half and .smushing it. However, the load times are still a problem. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Hey again – thanks for clarifying the area you were referring to.

Checking out this project: http://sfukstorm.com/portfolio/k-storm-spring-2014-icebreaker/ I can indeed so a significant amount of total data for your pictures (50 megabytes). Try opening your init.js file located in the js folder, searching for this section:

//gallery
$('.flex-gallery').each(function(){

    var $that = $(this);

    imagesLoaded($(this),function(instance){

         $that.flexslider({
              animation: 'fade',
              controlsContainer: '.flexslider',
              smoothHeight: false, 
              animationSpeed: 500,
              useCSS: false, 
              touch: true
          });

    ////gallery slider add arrows
    $('.flex-gallery .flex-direction-nav li a.flex-next').html('<i class="icon-angle-right" />');
    $('.flex-gallery .flex-direction-nav li a.flex-prev').html('<i class="icon-angle-left" />');

    });

});

and changing it to:

//gallery
$('.flex-gallery').each(function(){

    var $that = $(this);

         $that.flexslider({
              animation: 'fade',
              controlsContainer: '.flexslider',
              smoothHeight: false, 
              animationSpeed: 500,
              useCSS: false, 
              touch: true
          });

    ////gallery slider add arrows
    $('.flex-gallery .flex-direction-nav li a.flex-next').html('<i class="icon-angle-right" />');
    $('.flex-gallery .flex-direction-nav li a.flex-prev').html('<i class="icon-angle-left" />');

});

Hello,

I changed the text in the init.js file, but there appears to be no difference. Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks!

Could you allow me to log in to your setup to verify everything is correct? That should be the only thing making the page wait until everything is loaded to fade in :)

Cheers

Hello I have bought your template and seems great but I have an issue with the visual composer, if I make a 3 columns row the last one goes in another line… What should I do?

Hey sacrista, I would need to see your URL to a page that shows this so I can help out :)

Cheers

http://www.filipporivolta.it/?page_id=1022 here’s an example, if you look at the three piechart at the bottom of the page for example, they should be on the same line…In the visual composer I made a row with three columns…Thanks

You have the enable responsive design turned off – there’s a bug with that option and the columns, just enable it for now and it will work as expected. I’m going to sort this for the next release :)

Great theme and even better support! :)

Woocommerce 2.1 should be out this week, can we expect an update to support the new version?

Hey adnanhuremovic,

yes – if there’s any issues I’ll be releasing an update asap :)

Cheers

Great, thanks!

So far, prettyPhoto on product images is not working because they are using data-rel instead of rel and new woocommerce-smallscreen.css breaks cart and checkout buttons.

Thanks for listing what you’ve found so far – I appreciate it :)

Tell me please how to override only one menu item text color? I put this into my custom css #menu-item-20 { color: #0000ff !important;} But it appears through the Crome console that color attribute already set with important property by the WP theme and this code is not working :’(

Hey glebkudr,

you just have to make it a little more specific to override the other rule in place:

html body header#top nav ul li#menu-item-20 a {
  color: #0000ff !important;
}

Cheers!

Hey, great theme!

For some reason, when installing and activating the contact form 7 this renders the admin side of the theme completely disappears. When clicking on the salient tab in the backend this just reloads a completely blank page.

When I deactivate the plugin it works just fine. Any thoughts on this? Seen this happen before?

Thanks

Hey 6600feet,

you could be running out of memory – try to add this line to your wp-config.php file which is located at the root of your WordPress install:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');

How to make “Team Member” active links image_url and name? Need a link to the member page directly from the carousel member team.

Thank you in advance

Hey kushniras,

there’s no option to link that without custom modding – but you could easily just not use the team member shortcode and layout the same look so you’d have control over the markup. In the text tab you could use this structure:

<div class="team-member">
    <a href="your-member-url"> 
         IMAGE HERE
        <h3 class="light"> TEAM MEMBER NAME </h3>  
     </a>
    Developer
    <p class="description">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur    adipiscing elit. Integer lorem quam, adipiscing condimentum tristique vel, eleifend. </p>
</div>

Hi

Thank you for the update. the fonts work brilliantly now. :)

My question is:

1. How to create two columns in a widget? We would like to add two branches of our company side by side, also to add menu links in another widget, also following two columns layout in a widget. Would you know how to add country flags to those addresses we would add?

2. How to create the main shop page to look like this one: http://nouveau-theme-contemporary.myshopify.com/collections/all

Thank you, the theme is so clean

Best wishes :)

Hey again!

1. In your text widgets you can use headings like:
<h2>Test text</h2>
<h3>Test text</h3>
<h4>Test text</h4>
2. Enter this into your Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel for centering the heading:
.woocommerce .page-title, .woocommerce .woocommerce-result-count {
  width: 100%;
  text-align: center;
}

3. Switching the products to 3 columns can only be done without modding using the sidebar option – if you need it to remain fullwidth and go to 3 columns, a good deal of css would need to be altered and added.

Cheers :)

Hi ThemeNectar.

Thank you for your response. The code for the shop page works well, thank you :)

However, there is a problem with the fonts sizes. The code suggested does not work. It does not allow me to make the fonts smaller, and when I tried just out of curiosity to make the fints bigger, the code changed the colour of the fonts into light grey, and made it bigger, but only one size. it was not possible to make the fonts even bigger.

There are other things with the fonts. I tried to make subheader I have on the shop page (built through page builder) smaller, by giving it a smaller size, but the same size remained. I cleared the cache, no result. (I mean “HOME / TORBY / PRODUKTY”) http://www.mmevelo.com/sklep/

one more thing with the fonts:

The size of the fonts on blog pages. How to make them bigger?

Thank you and best wishes!

Hey again,

1. I didn’t know you were trying to make the text smaller I though you wanted a heading – use this instead:
<p class="small-text"> Text here </p>
and then add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.small-text {
  font-size: 10px!Important;
}

2. You have an h7 tag wrapped inside of an h2 tag so it’s still inheriting the h2 size. (Not the mention h7 is a valid tag, it only goes h1 – h6). If you switch into the text tab in the editor you should be able to see the nested heading tags to correct.

Cheers :)

Hello ThemeNectar,

i ‘m having an issue when using portfolio pagination . I have example one page which displays, by using portfolio shortcode, a number of portfolio categories. ex. Cat1 , Cat2, Cat3. With pagination disabled but horizontal filters and sortable enabled i have a large page with portfolio items from all the categories above which can be sorted as expected. (sort portfolio: All , Cat1 , Cat2 , Cat3)

When i enable the pagination option there is a problem. Every category that isn’t in the current page i am viewing disappears from the sort portfolio. For ex. : if the first page has portfolio items from only Cat1 and the first item of Cat2 appears in page 2, i don’t have the option to sort the portfolio by Cat2 and display the items from Cat2 unless i am in a page that has items from this category.

I hope that my explanation of the problem was clear. Below there are two links, 1 with a page without pagination and 2 with pagination and the problem.

1.(No pagination) http://eventelshouse.com/furniture/bedroom/ 2.(Pagination problem) http://eventelshouse.com/lighting/ceiling-lamps/

Is there a solution for that or i have to disable pagination and have a huge single page portfolio like in link 1?

Thank you in advance. Alex.

Hey Alex,

this is the expected behavior because the filters are only sorting what’s on the current page and not loading new items in when clicked. An AJAX portfolio might be added down the road, but for now it would take a good deal of development. You might be able to find a developer on microlancer who could assist with this mod if you really wanted it :)

Cheers

GREAT THEME!!!!! Q’s : 1. can i make the header transparent/opaque?
2. can the testimonials be feeding from tweets?

Sure thing:

#header-outer {
  background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.8)!important;
}

Cheers :)

Great thanks i will surely be buying

You’re very welcome :)

Is there a future development for multiple portfolio pages that can support completely different categories AND keep the next and previous areas that contains on that categories pages?

Is there a current workaround?

Thanks!

Miabella

Hey Miabella,

the only way around this would be through AJAX, which would require significant development – it’s currently on the wishlist but there’s no ETA for that at this time. If you want to remove the next/prev arrows you can do so easily by adding this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:

#portfolio-nav ul.controls { display: none!important; }

Cheers :)

Why does the classic editor disappear now in 3.0? Should I revert back if I want to just use the classic editor? Thanks, and sorry for all the questions.

I notice that if I choose visual composer, then classic editor, I can view my code, but it looses all the <!- notes -> I made. What do I choose with the text boxes to keep my code still working. Both Visual and Text both erase my custom code, such as notes and my own <h> tags. Any advice? Thanks

Hey again Josh,

The classic editor is still there and there’s a button on top of the editor to switch between the page builder and it – see this image in regards: http://i.imgur.com/wTcvmYl.jpg :)

Page builder is really great. But, I applied some custom <h> tags such as <10> to give my text more flexibility. How can I use these in the text box. Both the visual and text tabs lose the text formatting. Thanks!

Last comment today. I was able to apply custom <h> tags in the custom CSS window under the Salient tab. It was great because I was able to control the font sizes, colors and ranges. I did this to choose unique colors and sizes.

I’m noticing one mahor issue with the visual composer I can’t seem to get around. Here is my text i want to add to one column in a Row: <h8>Role:</h8>
<h70>Visual Design Lead</h70>
<h70>Production Designer</h70>
<h8> </h8>
<h8>Company:</h8>
<h70>Fjord</h70>

I can enter this in the Text Box under the composer under the “Text” tab. This allows me to place the custom <h> tags. It renders great after I do this.

The issue is in the instance where I want to go back and copy or edit this formatting and tags. The problem is when I go to edit this text box, the modal window opens and the “Visual” tab is open by default and then I need to hit the “Text” tab to see the <> formatting. But, when I view “Text”, all the tags are gone. Then, when I save, and update the page, to test, there is no more font styling in that column on the webpage. All the text is the same size.

How can I get the text box to save my tags, so I can copy them, or edit them?

ok. I get it. Every text type needs a text box, then you enter the special CSS in the Extra CSS field at the bottom. It’s pretty awesome that way. I can view the whole site from the edit page. I think I can recommend this to a friend who’s not a coder or designer.

I’m not sure if that is the intention, and I’m not sure how to add spans to the text boxes, and it would be cool if it retained the code in the text box, but overall, this will make my life easier. Thanks!

Hey Josh!

As I mentioned earlier, the tags you’re creating are not actually HTML entities so the parser in VC can’t recognize them and just strips it. If you pasted this into the text tab:

<h3>Test Text</h3>
<h8>Role:</h8>
<h70>Visual Design Lead</h70>
<h70>Production Designer</h70>
<h8> </h8>
<h8>Company:</h8>
<h70>Fjord</h70>

and saved it – upon going back you’d see that the h3 is the only tag left in tact. Even though before you were able to get by using your own custom markup, it doesn’t mean it the right way to approach what you were trying to do as search engines won’t know what they are nor will it validate as HTML.

As for adding spans – you could either just wrap your desired text in the span tag in the text (it will retain) or I believe by clicking the text color button on the visual side will wrap the highlighted text in a span automatically.

Cheers :)

Hi Nectar, I just upgraded to 3.0 and I noticed there is a new full width content area feature. I think this might help me achieve what I need, but I need to understand how to use it. Basicially, what I want is for a row to house two columns of full width, full bleed images. The reason for this is so that they would go from being two columns in wide resolutions, to being stacked rows on phones and tablets in portrait-orientation. I don’t think you can fill the two columns with an image that would stretch to fill the space, or get rid of the column margins. Ideally, I think it would be great if it worked like the portfolio alternate style view, but with 2 columns

Can you help me understand how you might to this? Thanks so much. The responses you give, really make this theme worthwhile!

Hey again Josh!

1. Try using this in the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
html body {
  overflow-x: hidden!important;
}

2. Switch into the visual composer view and ensure that your portfolio element is inside of a row.

Great thanks! Also, I can fix the 15px bottom margin with a -15px measurement.

You’re welcome :)

I can’t place more then 5 logo’s inside the clients display element. Is there a way to add more clients so it can rotate?

Hey advany, you just need to update to 3.0.5 – this issue was corrected in that release :)

thnx!

You’re welcome :)

I love the flexibility of this theme so much that I’ve purchased 3 of ‘em so far for different sites I’m developing. :-)

With the blog sidebar widget, I want to add a photo and title underneath it. Is there a widget available for that?

Thanks!

Miabella

Hey Miabella! :)

Yes, you can accomplish this through the text widget if you want to add an image inside of it use this format:

<img src="your-image-src.jpg" />

Cheers!

Grazie!

You’re welcome :)
