Hi there,

I have a blank page when i activate salient theme I think this bug is related to an incompatibility issue with my server or salient theme.

Hey emagingroup! Please see my response to your last post :)

Thank you very much

You’re welcome :)

Hi ThemeNectar,

I understand if you can’t answer this question about portfolios. I want to build a site showcasing my work as a videographer. I would love to have a selected portfolio on the “home” page kind of like the “portfolio eye candy” demo but I don’t know how the different sizes would work for video. So my question is what would you think would be the best way to go about building a video only portfolio?

Hey theroyalvideographer!

Use this in the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:

#portfolio-nav ul.controls #prev-link {
   position: fixed;
   left: 10px; 
   top: 45%;
}

#portfolio-nav ul.controls #next-link {
   position: fixed;
   right: 10px; 
   top: 45%;
}

.single-portfolio {
   background-color: #000!important;
}

.single-portfolio .container-wrap {
   background-color: transparent!important;
}

Cheers :)

Thank you I will lokk at it tomorrow!!

Sounds good! :)

Quick question about reducing the size of the font in the search entry field on the header bar. Right now it’s extremely large. I’ve tried to change it in the css:

search-outer #search input[type=text] {

But this doesn’t seem to do it. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Hey rob!

Enter this into your Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
#search-outer #search input[type="text"] {
   font-size: 32px!Important;
}

Hi, looking to purchase…

Wondered whether the menu can be moved to the bottom of the slider and then stick to it as your scroll down?

Whether the slider can be made full screen/ the height changed so you can’t see the next page below?

How customisable are the colours?

Hey archedite,

1. This would require custom development.

2. Yes, there’s an option for fullscreen on the slider :)

3. You can define your own color scheme using up to 4 different accent colors and easily change almost any element to use them.

Cheers :)

Hi ThemeNectar!!

Really great theme! Well done!

GLWS guys!

Thanks so much claimpt :)

Cheers!

Hi there,

I have a blank page when i activate salient theme I think this bug is related to an incompatibility issue with my server or salient theme.

Hey emagingroup!

You could be running out of memory on your server – 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');

Hi There Nectar :) Enjoying using this theme.

Couple of quick questions / requests;

1. Images in the Nectar Slider – Is it possible to place images, rather than just type in the slide-in animated features? (Like Jupiter’s slider for example). It would be awesome if possible – Means you could have a logo / image float over the parallax – sweetness!

2. Still image texture – Like the option to add a texture overlay to the video backgrounds, is there a simple way of being able to add that to still backgrounds too? – Given they are doing some serious resizing, I think it would enhance the overlay content, and mask the pixelation of the background somewhat.

3. Just need some help with tightening up my type headings in Nectar. I’ve updated the letter-spacing: -2.5px; in the css, but I’d prefer to keep it in the custom css field to keep track of it. Can you let me know what the custom entry would look like to effect both the heading and sub heading?

Cheers mate – love your work.

Hey radiantfilms!

2. Yes, but it would require a mod to the functions.php file – open that up and find this section:

 if($background_type == 'video_bg') {

    $active_texture = ($video_texture == 'on') ? 'active_texture' : '';
    $slider .=  '<div class="video-texture '.$active_texture.'" />';
and change it to this:
$active_texture = ($video_texture == 'on') ? 'active_texture' : '';
$slider .=  '<div class="video-texture '.$active_texture.'" />';

 if($background_type == 'video_bg') {

3.
.swiper-slide .content h2, .swiper-slide .content p {
  letter-spacing: -2px!important;
}

Cheers :)

Awesome – thanks man – I’ll give them a bash.

You’re welcome :)

I was looking at purchasing your theme, I was wondering if I could use it for a company who’s style rules require the logo to be right aligned and the menu needs to be aligned left. Is this possible by the page editor or is there a CSS code I can paste it to do this … Please advise

Hey realcoach!

Yes, this is possible via custom css which I could assist you with :)

Cheers

Hey danialMd5, there’s no RTL support by default at this time.

Cheers :)

Hi

The contact form doesn’t work. I’m not receiving any emails. I checked the email address, everything’s correct. Suggestions?

Tx

You’re welcome :)

In regards to the portfolio – all items have the correct sizing except this one: http://www.alienintelligence.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/StylishFlowers-featured3-384x500.jpg but at the same time, it shows that the style “wide’ is selected for all. You should vary it up and chose different sizes for different projects to make the layout work correctly :)

I got it now…. so the style tells it if they’re tall/wide/small/large not the actual size of the image. Thanks!

You’re welcome :)

hi..

(SALIENT )logo Just below… ””Photo title(Masonry Blog)”” Settings option where?

Please you E-Mail-Adresse~!

Setting options position “Home,Title Slider ” Where???

Hey backin79, I’m having a bit of trouble understanding exactly what you’re asking in the first question. In regards to the slider title positioning – you have all available position options to choose from in each slide you create :)

HI?I want to ask a quetion about the thumbnail image, as you can see in my blog http://thedeepazure.com/allworks/ some thumb will automatically change to the right size, some will show the full picture, some will automatically cut to a different scale…

How to make all thumbnail image looks like the same size?

Is there anyway you could allow me to log in so I can check on it for you?

If so, please open a private ticket at http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ with your credentials and I’ll take a peek :)

SURE,LET ME CHANGE MY WORDPRESS TO ENGLISH.

Hello Nectar,

Is there a way to have a featured image for a blog post without having the featured image in the post itself? I want a preview image to show up but I do not want that image to be in the post.

I like the featured image here: http://www.upupweddings.com/blog/ I do not like having the featured image in the post itself here: http://www.upupweddings.com/2014/02/12/russ-marybeth/

Thanks!

Hey althaua!

Just add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.single-post .post-featured-img {
   display: none!important;
}

Hey again Nectar!

Is there a contact page built into this theme at all or a plugin you could recommend to add one? I know there’s a tab for Contact in the Salient theme options, but that’s more for a location, I’m trying to find more of a contact form to put on the page.

Thanks! Smashasaur

Hey Smashasaur!

The recommended contact form plugin is Contact Form 7 :) It should work on any page.

Cheers

Okay last question I promise lol, for the demo page where you have an icon sitting above text laid out across four columns, is that the text with icon shortcode? I’m trying to get my icon right above my text but the shortcode has it going off to the right. Thank you for all your help!!! :D

Hey again :)

That’s actually just a standard text column with a large icon shortcode placed at the top.

Cheers!

Hello, great theme, I would like to know 2 things:

1. Can i Have multiple featured images on the blog frontpage? 2. How can I have the title of the post above the featured image on the blog frontpage

Thanks

Richard

Hey Richard,

instead of setting a featured image just insert your images into the post content – this will satisfy both of your desires as you won’t be limited to one and they will also appear under the title :)

Hi, i just bought this theme today and am still getting familiar with all it’s capabilities. So far, I am wow’ed. Will comment again once I’ve grasped more of the functionality. Am really enjoying getting to know this theme.

Hey sherissar!

Thanks for sharing your experience so far :)

Cheers!

i cant get my product category page in this way http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/shop/, when i click edit in the category i dont get this http://i.imgur.com/di9edzg.jpg.

Hey alexandrestreit,

as long as you’re setting the header on the main product page page, it should appear on all WooCommerce product display/archive pages such as: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/product-category/clothing/

Probably the coolest theme I’ve ever seen. I must have it.

Questions: 1.) Are there any known compatibility issues with W3 Total Cache? 2.) Like tivnet (above), I too would like to know if the theme is WooCommerce 2.1 compatible.

Thanks so much, A.

Also, I’m wanting to apply this theme to an existing site. If I import the dummy data (to help understand the features better), will doing so mess with/delete my existing pages or posts or products, or will it just add to the site content already created?

Thanks a lot ajm_76!

1. No, but if you’re going to use the minification option for js/css you’ll need to ensure the order of the assets remains the same in the combined file or else things will break

2. Yes it is :)

3. It will only add the content that doesn’t exist which will most likely be almost all of them.

Cheers!

Hi buddy. I can’t put videos to work on my banner. Can you help me? Using 3.8.1 wordpress version. Here is the link: http://brainworks.tempsite.ws/brainworkswp/

Hey Fernando!

Your Home Is showing no slides added – are you meaning to use the Home Slider or have you set up video slides in a Nectar Slider?

Question – what resolution do you recommend for videos featured on the homepage slider?

Provided it’s still 16:9, is 426 X 240 or even 320×180 px good enough to maintain video quality when displayed as large as on the demo site?

Cheers

Hey ChipmunkDesign!

I actually used Full HD sized videos, and would recommend either that of 1280×720 to provide good quality on desktop monitors :)
