Hello,

would you be so nice and help me with the splash screen. I have created copy of a template and I’d like to show only post from a page (Content of the page – Content from “Splash” page). I have Adobe Edge animation added with Adobe Edge WP plugin. What I want to do is to remove Footer and Header so I’m left only with Page Content which is Adobe HTML5 animation.

I’d prefer to solve this in php (template) than with css :)

Thank you for help.

Hey WpMake,

Can you please try this css with that template and show me the overlapping issue you’re referring to?

#header-space, #header-outer, #footer-outer {
    display: none;
}

Cheers :)

Hello, I managed to edit this with php, and this css you provided also work on static pages. :) Thank you.

Cheers

You’re welcome!

Cheers :)

I think some more social media options to footer would be nice. Soundcloud is one that I miss…

Hey Kuningasidea, Soundcloud was added in 3.1 :)

Cheers

Hey,

We love the theme. However, we have an WooCommerce lay-out issue with this theme. Reference: http://www.wootch.nl/winkel/

How can we fix this?

Thanks a lot!

Stefan

Hey Stefan! Your css is all minified so it’s hard to say where the issue lies – can you deactivate your minfication for a second so I can take a peek?

Cheers :)

It looks like this was an ‘Minify’ issue. Disabled the minify-option and now it seems to be back at normal. Thanks a lot! :)

You’re welcome! :)

Hey Phil!

How is things? I hope your well.

I just have a quick question that I was hoping you could get a minute to answer for me. I was mucking around with the dummy-text file and I was deleting the comments left on it. When I deleted them, my admin bar started showing pending comments when there are no pending comments actually in sight. Would you have any idea on how this is happening? It’s kinda stressing seeing it there.

I was also wondering could I have your permission to use some of the background images and videos you have on the Salient demo which are included in the dummy-text file on my own personal site as I love the feel to some of them and I want to use them on my own site. Is that okay with you that I have your permission to use them? (Don’t want to get copyrighted by you!!)

Your awesome, Phil!

Gareth.

Example of what I see – http://gyazo.com/c81289d145c7b9b5dee6864bad032070

1. Your WP admin credentials – for this, you could open a private ticket in regards http://themenectar.ticksy.com/

2. The logos were created by me and you’re free to use (in the clients carousel) and the coding video bg was created by me as well, which you can also freely use. The others would most likely require attribution for the appropriate copyright holder in order to use in your own project.

Cheers :)

Hello Phil!

I have left a response on http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/168420

Cheers :)

Thanks! I’ll be with you as soon as I can :)

Hi Nectar, I swear, this is the last thing I will ask you :) Just two simple things:

1. I notice that sometimes my images are compressed, so in Retina, the quality is distorted. I can’t figure how this happens, and it doesn’t alway happen. Is there a way to turn the compression off?

2. Can I limit the fullscreen portfolio to a maximum of 4 items? Rather than items. I want to only have 12 items… that way it will always look full.

Thanks! I appreciate how helpful you’ve been.

Hey again!

1. All of the bottom images are showing that they’re displaying at the full size which is 2048px for the width – unfortunately I don’t have a retina desktop monitor/laptop to check this in, but the code is showing as if there wouldn’t be an issue.

2. Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:

@media only screen and (min-width: 1300px) {
  html body .portfolio-items .elastic-portfolio-item {
      width: 24.98%!important;
  }
}

Cool Thanks! I will check it out on my big screen monitor at work. It seems to work fine on my laptop.

I guess the media uploader through Wordpress is kinda funky, it crashes a bunch, so the distortion of images is probably happening because of that.

Okay sounds good! Just let me know if there’s any updates :)

Cheers

Milestone symbols disappear when in mobile / tablet resolution. Any idea when the fix for this is gonna come?

here’s the screenshot of our conversation from here: http://i.imgur.com/e6g8cYE.jpg

You asked me 19 days about this bug to which I responded the fix would be out in the update which was due the following week (2 weeks ago from now).

The fix is javascript oriented and if you modified the theme without using a child theme and can’t update – open your init.js file located in the js folder and change this:

/***************** Milestone Counter ******************/
if(!$('body').hasClass('mobile')) {
    $('.nectar-milestone').each(function() {
        //symbol
        if($(this).has('[data-symbol]')) {
            if($(this).attr('data-symbol-pos') == 'before') {
                    $(this).find('.number').prepend($(this).attr('data-symbol'));
            } else {
                    $(this).find('.number').append($(this).attr('data-symbol'));
            }
        }

        //animation
        $(this).appear(function() {
            var $endNum = parseInt($(this).find('.number span').text());
            $(this).find('.number span').countTo({
                from: 0,
                to: $endNum,
                speed: 1500,
                refreshInterval: 30
            });
        },{accX: 0, accY: 0});
    }); 
}

to this:

/***************** Milestone Counter ******************/

$('.nectar-milestone').each(function() {
    //symbol
    if($(this).has('[data-symbol]')) {
        if($(this).attr('data-symbol-pos') == 'before') {
            $(this).find('.number').prepend($(this).attr('data-symbol'));
        } else {
            $(this).find('.number').append($(this).attr('data-symbol'));
        }
    }
});

if(!$('body').hasClass('mobile')) {

    $('.nectar-milestone').each(function() {
        //animation
        $(this).appear(function() {
            var $endNum = parseInt($(this).find('.number span').text());
            $(this).find('.number span').countTo({
                from: 0,
                to: $endNum,
                speed: 1500,
                refreshInterval: 30
            });
        },{accX: 0, accY: 0});
    }); 
}

Cheers

Problem solved. Looks sleek. Thanks.

You’re welcome :)

Hi Nectar,

I’m looking to change the font (type, size, colour) of the text that shows up on the portfolio thumbnail upon hover. I want it to be Montserrat. Where would I change this?

Thanks!

Hi again, on a similar note, I’d really like to slow down the hover effect on the thumbnails of the portfolio so the title and transparent layer come us slowly.

Is there a place I can change the transparent layer that hovers over the thumbnails to be a pattern (.png) ?

Thanks!

Hey apartment4!

1. Here’s the selectors to add into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel which you can use to alter this: (the Montserrat font will only work if you’ve already loaded it)

.portfolio-items .col h3 {
   color: #000!important;
   font-size: 20px;
   font-family: 'Montserrat'!important;
}
.portfolio-items .col p {
   color: #000!important;
   font-size: 10px;
   font-family: 'Montserrat'!important;
}

2. You’ll need to edit this in the init.js file which is located in the js folder. Search for this to end up at the right place:

//portfolio item hover effect

cheers :)

A couple of questions,

Question 1) To confirm, can i assume i can just change words’ front size, front style & color like Courier and Arial ( from content and top menu) easily without tweaking css?

Question 2) if i want the menu to be in the middle instead of default right, how can to do it? is it by css?

Thanks

Hey lslhm1,

1. You have complete control over the header/footer in regards to coloring and size – if you want to change the font size and color in the main content you can do so in the editor with the standard available font options or globally change it through css.

2. This would indeed require css.

Cheers :)

Another question, how do I get the video background in the Nectar slider to loop?

Hey Amie, it will already do that automatically – but there’s a known bug in Chrome that will cause the first video bg in a slider to only play once if you have the infinite loop option for the slider on. This is being looking into, but now either turn that option off or use the video bg in any slide other than the first.

Cheers :)

I am having some problems with this Theme and Disqus plugin. It loads sometimes and sometimes does not, and I could not find a way to track what is happening. With all others plugins turned on, I just change the theme and everything is fine. Now, if I disable all plugins with Salient Theme It continues to sometimes appears and sometime not… Anyone has an idea?

Hey hodneyf!

Try adding this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:

.main-content iframe[src] { opacity: 1!important; }

It worked for now, but I will keep testing! Tks!

You’re welcome :)

Excellent Job !! I like it !! GLWS

Thanks a lot Brainart :)

Hi, Nectar! I have one more problem with Salient, I have installed a Revolution Slider to replace Nectar at some cases but when I make it fullwidth it is a little big wider then the site and there are some extra pixels on the right side of the page. Please look at this at my page: http://netstork.globema.pl/proba/revolution-slider/ How can I fix this?

Hey Globema!

Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
body {
  overflow-x: hidden!important;
}

Hi Guys, The following settings resulted in a horizontal scrollbar in both Firefox & Chrome (haven’t tested any others) on the portfolio page: - full width - meta on hover - all switches on OFF.

How to fix this?

It was ‘solved’ by switching responsiveness ON. I don’t know why I switched that off, but now you know you have some bugs in non-responsive mode. Another bug if responsive is off: if you have, say 1 portfolio item that does not fill the browser window 100% vertically, then the lightbox (‘view larger’ button) only displays for the height of the website: Part of the image will disappear.

Hey jelmer85,

thanks for the report :)

I am missing color definition in Typography Options. Can this only be done via Custom CSS?

Hey again,

Yes, only the header/footer font colors can be changed through color pickers – if you want a global font color change for a certain element you should make a css rule. If you need help with any specific rule just let me know :)

Hi,

sorry but I’m trying to put revolution slider and it’s driving me crazy :S I’ve tried everything: I’ve tried to eliminate the <div> featured...</div> from the home template that I’m using and insert my php code and shows the place of the slider but it’s not showing it well, I can’t see the images and it’s no rotating… ( and when I previsualise the slider from the slider settings I see it perfectly)

then I’ve tried to use a default template and insert the rev slider with the visual composer, but it’s not working neither… I don’t know what else can I do… can you help me please?

thanks,

elsa

hi, I think I’ve found the reason… I have a nectar slide at the same page of the revolution slider, If I delete the nectar slide the revolution it’s fine. thanks

Hey elsa,

I’m glad you found the issue – also it’s worth noting that in Salient v3.0+ Revolution is supported as a page builder element so there’s no need to make custom templates.

Cheers :)

Hello,

Thanks for this theme ! its awsome.

It Is normal with the slider nectar with an iPhone or mobile it’s impossible to change slide with bullet or arrows ( not visible and not active ) ?It’s a change in the css?

thank you in advance for your response and Help …

samuel

Hey imchou!

The arrows are hidden by default, but if you want to make them visible – add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:

.swiper-container .slider-next, .swiper-container .slider-prev {
    display: block!important;
}

Theme looks great, guys. I’m curious, where do you get your stock videography? Specifically the NYC panning shot.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

Thanks BMart :)

The sources are listed in the theme user guide in the “Dummy Data” section.

Cheers

I turned the nicescroll autohide on and then made the background set to none. This shows just the cursor when you scroll. At first I had a 16px gap on the right though. I then removed this:

$('body, body #header-outer, body #header-secondary-outer, body #search-outer').css('padding-right','16px');

But what happened is on some of the content, it shows 6px gap on both right and left. This is only on the content in the vertical center of the page.

Screenshot of what I’m talking about: http://cl.ly/image/2p3t1K3t2I1N

Any idea how to get this full-width?

Hey Amie,

back in the init.js – change this line:
var $scrollBar = ($('#ascrail2000').length > 0 && window.innerWidth > 1000) ? -13 : 0;
to this:
var $scrollBar = ($('#ascrail2000').length > 0 && window.innerWidth > 1000) ? 0 : 0;

Cheers :)

Hello!

Breathe deep, list of rookie questions coming.

1. When new version of Salient Theme is out, is there a faster way to update it than first deleting old files (takes 10-15min via FTP) and then uploading new theme (another 10-15min via FTP)?

Should I just delete/replace some specific files when new version is out or is FileZilla just really that slow?

2. When updating new theme and removing older one, what’s the most easiest, fastest and hands-off way to keep my modifications? I’ve done some changes to post template files, and it just feels stupid to copy paste everything when new update is out.

3. On blog page (or front page), is there a way to change date from “Jan/January” to “01”. I tried to replace “F” with “m” – didn’t work on any page.

4. What file I need to modify if I want to increase size and change color of font after title on posts? Not sure is post info correct term, author’s name, date, category – that section.

I need it to be bigger only on posts, not in blog page.

5. This is the easiest one. Is there a way to “drop” primary navigation under logo area? Our site requires more items on menu but with logo on the same line, it gets too crowded.

Thank you, no rush to answer. You rock!

Hey MalmMedia!

1. You can just use the admin panel – where deleting a theme is almost instant. Just enable any other theme to show the option to the delete Salient and then proceed normally.

2. Use a child theme :)https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

3. The option to define your own date format is being added in the next release.

4. Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
body article.post .post-header h2 a {
   font-size: 34px!important;
   color: #000!important;
}
5. Yes, add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
header#top .col {
    display: block!important;
    float: none!important;
    width: 100%!important;
}

Cheers!

I said no rush! This is awesome and better yet, everything worked on first time.

We love you here!

No worries & you’re very welcome :)

Cheers!

I have found some issues using the dev facebook debugger tool when the theme has yoast installed and you are using the yoast settings for the opengraph. I corrected it by removing the entire open graph section from the bottom of the functions page. Everything seems to be working. I trust only yoast with my seo as they are proven. I would enable an option to completely disable the themes seo and open graph in case the buyer wanted to use their options like Yoast, which is the best imho.

Hey OcalaWebsiteDesigns,

If you update to the most current version there’s already logic in place to not use the default theme OG data if Yoast is active :)

Cheers

You know, I always update first, not sure why I didn’t do it this time…. sorry to waste your time, i’ll update it later today!

No worries!

Cheers :)
