Hi great theme here. Quick question:

Which file controls the layout of the blog for this theme? I’ve created a template but it is being overwritten.

Thanks

Hey FMG!

The main posts page is controlled by index.php and if you’re using the blog shortcode/page builder element than check out the shortcode-processing.php file located in the nectar/tinymce directory

Cheers :)

Hi. great theme. please add revulotion slider to your theme.

thanks :)

Hey rpsajjad,

the theme already supports it, it’s just not included with your purchase :)

Cheers

Hi Nectar, I still have some problems with the theme… when I go into the salient options there is a message that there are errors and warnings, and everything looks bad, buttons doesn’t work, and also I can not upload any pictures to sliders, the button “upload” just doesn’t work…

I would really appreciate quick help.

Hey Globema, please see my response to your previous post in regards :)

Hi, Thank You for that awesome theme.

My problem is background image on my homepage. I set it as row background image (with full-width option checked), but you can see it only in the content height. My welcome text needs about 100 px, rest of the page is fullfilled by the footer or, when I try sticky footer css trick, its black (probably widget) area.

Second question is about custom fonts – the best way of adding them is in general options, custom css, isn’t it?

Thanks in advance for quick response! Janek

Hey Janek!

1. If you need the extend the height of your row paste the content inside, just set a value for the top or bottom padding on the row.

2. You can include additional fonts in the theme manually the same way you would in any other website – I have referenced a guide on doing so in this ticket: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/51185/search/

Cheers :)

Any suggestion on what to do with the text and buttons in the slider when downsizing browser window and accessing site form mobile? The buttons and text gets ridiculously small.

Hey KLNGNBRG,

the text sizes scales down proportional to the rest of the slider to ensure no clipping on the image. The new slider was coded this was based on popular demand as the home slider lost a good deal of the image on mobile. This is also the same method of scaling as other premium sliders like Slider Rev/LayerSlider – if you want to change it look for these rules in the mobile viewport in the responsive.css stylesheet located in the css folder:

body .swiper-slide .content h2 
body .swiper-slide .content p    
body .swiper-slide .button a 

Cheers :)

Hi!

Can i insert portfolio items changing the default /portfolio/ part of the URL with another one? In my case, portfolio items are child of another page.

Thanks!

Hey Fabilous!

The single project pages must have their slug directly after the base URL, but you can define it to be whatever you want via the portfolio options tab in your theme options panel :)

A pre-purchase question.

Is the theme compatible with WPML ?

Includes a po file?

Thanks Marios

Hey Marios,

1. WPML compatibility is still being fine tuned.

2. Yes, a .po file is included :)

Cheers

Is it possible to create multiple portfolios? Thanks.

Hey hmbcn,

You can indeed have multiple separate portfolio’s with Salient but the only thing is that the arrows on the single portfolio page for ”next & prev” would still move between all items. You could opt to hide them css easily though.

Cheers

@RedactiePartners

I am not able to find where to add this. I want the revolution slider in the top that should be replaced with Nectar.

Please help me with this

I want to add the revolution slider where ever I want in that page. That should seen in fullwidth. Is that possible?

This is very important for me to make the website looking good.

Hey prakash_sunkara – please see my response to your other comment :)

Hey, Is there any way to sort portfolio items as to the number of nectar loves they get? Thank you :)

Hey Aqeart,

currently this would take custom development, but it’s a good idea for the wishlist :)

Hello,

Is your theme compatible with Optimizepress 2.0?

Hey susananitaw – I have not tested with that, but also haven’t heard issue reports from users about it.

Cheers :)

@prakash_sunkara

IN THE THEME:

Open the template file you use (for example: template-home-1.php

1. Remove everything inside
<div id="featured"> </div>

2. Rename the Featured Div ID (somehow it get’s overwritten when it is still called Featured

3. Put the following code inside the div:
<?php putRevSlider("rev slug name here") ?>

INSIDE CHILD THEME:

In your child folder create a file called template-home-revslider.php

1. copy and paste the content from your desired home page template inside the php file.

2. edit it the same way as in the above explanation.

3. At the top of the file rename the template (so as not to get confused in WP Admin)

NOT CUSTOM PAGE TEMPLATE

If you bought Revolution Slider and installed it. You could use the “Default Template” for a page and add the Revolution slide through either a shortcode or the Nectar Page Builder

Awesome template bought and will work with it

Thanks so much for helping out prakash_sunkara, RedactiePartners :)

I’ll post here, because your own demo page is affected:

On two different Win 7 systems, latest Chrome browser, the masonry full width layout is now broken (as of a recent Chrome update, I guess). You can see what I mean if you open this page on Chrome in Win7 (I haven’t tested other OSs, but I tested FireFox, and it was fine): http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio-fullwidth-masonry/

I’ve opened up a ticket as well: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/160645

Hey matijaerceg, I responded to your ticket last night, you’ve probably already responded back so we’ll keep this conversation on there :)

Cheers!

How can I add the revolution slider instead of Nectar slider on the top. We need fullscreen just like nectar.

How we can do this. Please help

Hey prakash_sunkara! Assuming you’re on v3.0+ there’s a page builder element for revolution slider which you can place inside of a row set the full width content for its type :)

Cheers

Still no luck, I am using this short code: full_width_section bg_pos=”Left Top” bg_repeat=”No-Repeat” text_color=”Light” image_url=”” top_padding=”” bottom_padding=”” background_color=”“[/full_width_section]

Here is my website: http://biginitservices.com/iphonebits

Still it is showing in boxed.

Please help

Hey again, it looks like you’ve sorted it :)

The correct way to get an element to go full width would be to set the row type to full width content for anyone else who reads this. I demonstrate that row type in this tutorial as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4mt0lOJ888

Hi there,

I have yet another question: For some reason when I set any one of my Footer widgets to a Search widget – it just disappears. What can I do to fix this?

The website is (publicmarking.com).

Thank so much for your help!

Best, Larry

Hey again Larry!

You can update by downloading a fresh copy from ThemeForest, deleting the current version you have on your server and uploading the new. I recommend using FTP, but you can use the WP dashboard if you prefer.

In regards to your customizations – Did you modify the theme files directly? If so, then there’s no easy way to do the update. You should keep as much of your edits in a child theme to avoid any pain when updating to new versions

Thank you for the help!

I just customized the style.css as well as the responsive.css, and some Custom css in the General Settings. It is possible to keep this? I would just like to have the Search bar in the footer – is there a way to just update it so this appears?

Thanks again for all your help!

Hey again!

1. Both of those files could be modded through a child theme going forwards, but unfortunately there’s no easy easy to keep them now aside from manually applying them into the new update.

2. The custom css box will always persist through theme updates since it’s stored in your WordPress database and not the theme itself.

3. The search is now allowed to be used as a standard widget in any widget area in the latest release.

Cheers :)

Hi,

What is changed in the ‘11 February 14’ version? I can’t find the changelog.

Br,

louis

Now I see the updated version, was it my cache? :)

Yes, indeed – I updated the changelog 12 hours ago :)

Hello, nothing changed with “tabs”. When we try to use non latin character in tab title all page looks broken (((((

Hey aciden,

Assuming you mean the tab titles can’t contain ext latin characters – this shouldn’t be the case. (I have tested and confirmed this to work) Can you open a private ticket with your log in credentials on the support forum in regards so I can take a look?

Cheers :)

I have three items on my portfolio and for some reason they are duplicated so…I show two rows with the same three thumbnails in both rows.

It has got to be user error but I can’t figure out my error. ??

Thanks!

Miabella

Hey Miabella, i’d be glad to log in and take a peek for you – Please open a private ticket with your credentials on the support forum in regards :)

Not sure what is happening – but self-hosted videos don’t seem to be playing in the lightbox gallery any more? I’m seeing it both on my site installation and the demo Salient site.

http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio-4-columns/

Click on the watch video link for the “Self Hosted Video” portfolio item – It pops the lightbox, but the iframe is blank with no video player?

Anyone else seeing this same issue?

Hey gadgetcondo, could you open a ticket on the support forum and regards and then paste the ticket # here so I can address it there?

Cheers :)

Done and done – Ticket #161366

Thanks! Will be with you shortly :)

I have a customer looking to have an english and spanish version of her site using Salient. Is is possible to run both from the same installation? Please let me know what I need to do.

Hey vincidesigns!

This would only be possible by using a multi-lingual plugin such as WPML.
