Hi,
Amazing theme!
is it possible to half the size of the masonry images on the portfolio grid, for example, from regaular from 500×500 to 250×250.
Ideally id like to half the size of each one as they’re too big at the moment.
Also, how can i add some white space beginning each one? only looking for between 2-4px.
And one last thing! is it possible to left align the portfolio nav titles? mine are long so they go onto 2 rows but i only want them on a single row.
Any help would be amazing!!
thank you in advance for your time,
Hey again!
1. Cutting all the masonry sizes in half would be a little bit of a css chore, but it’s doable. You’d just have to open the style.css and responsive.css stylesheets and change all occurrences of rules targetingelastic-portfolio-item
into 50% of their current defined width.
2. Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.elastic-portfolio-item {
padding: 2px!important;
}
3. Please see my response to your other comment in regards to this 
Cheers
Hi TN!
Thank you for your speedy response,
1. ok ill look at this, would it be possible to get details on which lines the code i need to change is?
2. thanks for this, I’ve found that this creates odd spacing especially around those portfolio items that are around the side, when I’ve halved the size of the images, then this may become less obvious, but there will be white lines down the size of the screen in fullscreen mode.
Is it possible to set a margin between all portfolio images, opposed to add a padding on all sides?
3. with the horizontal categories, i just need to move the list over to the left towards the current one,

I understand that on small screens this will need to go on 2 rows, but on standard screen sizes, it would be good to have this on one line.
thanks again for your time,
best,
Hey again!
1. It would be a good deal of line changes, honestly the easiest way to find them all would be to run a search for that text and go through them one by one
2. Yes, this is a problem to be expected when doing this mod and really the only solution again would be to adjust the widths to be a little less to fix the right side and then set left padding on the containing row to make it even on every side.
3. Try adding this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
#portfolio-filters-inline #current-category {
width: 19%!important;
}
#portfolio-filters-inline .container ul {
max-width: 79%!important;
}
thanks for the help on this, got the portfolio nav bar sorted, still looking at halving the size of the portfolio items, this has worked, but think ive missed something as there are item width gaps between some of the items https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4955093/Screen%20Shot%202014-02-24%20at%2010.54.23.png
I forgot to mention you’ll also need to adjust this section of the init.js file located in the js folder:
switch (mediaQuerySize) {
case 'five':
(isFullWidth) ? colWidth = 5 : colWidth = userDefinedColWidth;
masonryObj = { columnWidth: $portfolio_container.width() / parseInt(colWidth) };
break;
case 'four':
(isFullWidth) ? colWidth = 4 : colWidth = userDefinedColWidth;
masonryObj = { columnWidth: $portfolio_container.width() / parseInt(colWidth) };
break;
case 'three':
(isFullWidth) ? colWidth = 3 : colWidth = userDefinedColWidth;
masonryObj = { columnWidth: $portfolio_container.width() / parseInt(colWidth) };
break;
case 'two':
masonryObj = { columnWidth: $portfolio_container.width() / 2 };
break;
case 'one':
masonryObj = { columnWidth: $portfolio_container.width() / 1 };
break;
}
and the rules at the very bottom of the responsive.css stylesheet that go like this:
body:after {
content: 'two';
display: none;
}
body:after {
content: 'three';
display: none;
}
this will allow you to change the columns within the isotope plugin which creates the masonry effect itself
sorry, what exactly to i need to change in these pieces of code?
its not clear.. 
Hey again, sorry – I’m trying to steer you in the right direction, but can’t give you the entire mod since it’s outside of the scope of support.
You would need to change the ‘four’ & ‘five’ to be ‘eight’ and in the the javascript change the
case 'five':
(isFullWidth) ? colWidth = 5 : colWidth = userDefinedColWidth;
masonryObj = { columnWidth: $portfolio_container.width() / parseInt(colWidth) };
break;
case 'four':
(isFullWidth) ? colWidth = 4 : colWidth = userDefinedColWidth;
masonryObj = { columnWidth: $portfolio_container.width() / parseInt(colWidth) };
break;
to be:
case 'eight':
(isFullWidth) ? colWidth = 8 : colWidth = userDefinedColWidth;
masonryObj = { columnWidth: $portfolio_container.width() / parseInt(colWidth) };
break;
Cheers
ah ok, i see, thank you very much again, your time is much appreciated and completely understandable re: full mod,
thanks
You’re very welcome
Hi,
im using the masonry layout and id like to keep all my portfolio categories on a single line. Theyre quick long titles so i need to align to the left, where can i do this? Can i also change the font in between the titles?
thanks
Hey RepublicOfMusic,
1. If you’re using the horizontal category display it always is using up all the available space in the container and the only way to increase that to perhaps allow your items to remain on one line would be to remove the current category on the left.
2. If you want to change the link spacing, use this in your Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
#portfolio-filters-inline .container > ul a, #portfolio-filters-inline .container > ul li#sort-label {
padding: 0 7px!important;
}
I’m using a text widget in the footer area. The spacing of the text is really tight and I can’t figure out which css element is being applied to it. Could you let me know the specific css I need to modify for the footer text widget?
thanks!
Hey Rob!
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.textwidget {
line-height: 24px!Important;
}
Hi
I am asking many questions, I have started going through the comments from the beginning.
Please tell me, how to change the bacground color on pages? for example when I have an element in container, and set the container background to white, it shows this light grey space behind the container background. How to change this light grey background to my chosen color?
also, is it possible to be able to leave this grey background on a blog page?
Thank you:) best wishes!
Hey again New_Castle!
Are you setting the row to the a full width background in the row type? If you do that there should no extra grey space – if you can supply me a URL that shows the space you mean I can better help
Cheers
Hey Nectar
Your Solutions works
Many thanks M.
You’re welcome
Olark doesn’t seem to work with this theme. Someone raised it several months ago. Please can you advise. Thanks.
Hey abdul_mann!
This is going to be addressed for the next release – but if you want to sort it now please open your init.js file and delete this section:
if($(this).parents('ins').length == 0){
$(this).wrap('<div class="iframe-embed-standard" />');
}
Cheers
I just purchased this awesome theme but I have a question. For the home page sliders, is it possible to set the button link to open to a new window/page? I’m trying to have the button open an external site in a new window but I see no option to enable that?
Specifically, can I set a single slide to open in a new window while leaving the rest to open in the same window?
Hey memoryburn,
just add the class ”externalbutton1” or ”external-button-2” to your slide – these are noted in the CSS Classes To Know section of the user guide.
Cheers!
Oh great! My question now is where exactly on the slide do I add this? I don’t see anywhere in the slider settings to add css?
Right in the Extra Class Name input: http://i.imgur.com/caS5Lqt.jpg
Cheers
Thanks for the reply. I am using the Salient theme and I looked through all of the theme’s options but I can’t seem to find an options area that looks like that and includes the Extra Class Name input. Can you zoom out in your screen shot and show me what section you’re in?
I found it under the Nectar Slider settings, but the slide I’m wanting to open an external link is one of the home page sliders. How do I add this class to work with a home page slider?
This isn’t an option for the Home Slider – to get that to work you’d need to edit the home template file directly. Can you please provide me with your URL so I can let you know which to modify?
Cheers
That would be great. Thanks for your help! You’ll see that the very first slider on the home page we’re trying to send users to a flickr account and we’d like that to open in a new page instead of loading in the same tab or window. Any help to get opening in a new window on the home page slider would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help. Other than this one thing the theme has been amazing so far! I love it! http://www.memoryburncreative.com/
Hey again!
open up the template-home-4.php and modify this line:
<a href="<?php echo $button_url; ?>" class="uppercase"><?php echo $button; ?></a>
Into this:
<a target="_blank" href="<?php echo $button_url; ?>" class="uppercase"><?php echo $button; ?></a>
Cheers
I’ve inserted rows of ‘ANIMATED IMAGES’ but they’re not linking when I insert a URL in the input box, any ideas, not even a mouse icon change – as if it’s not placing a href in the code
Hey caroline1978,
this was a known bug prior to Salient v3.1 – can you please ensure you’re on that version?
Cheers
Question regarding theme options: Is it possible to save all theme options I set (colour, fonts, custom,css,..). I have to move the site to the final server. Are the themeoptions saved in the Database and showing up as set?
Hey royaltask!
The options are indeed stored in the database, so when you export that and import it in your live location all of the settings will be added
Hi Nectar,
The Upsell and the Cross sell is coming up with 0px I cant type or input text, Can you help in guiding this.
Hey pingnagan,
This is a known bug of with Salient & WooCommerce 2.1 – if you can open a ticket on here in regard shttp://themenectar.ticksy.com/ I’d be glad to explain how to sort it prior to the next release
Cheers
1. Is it possible to show 4 items of the shop on home. Eg. New products?
2. can I add custom width to the boxed version via css?
3. mobile and tablet is not showing the nice cart on the right. I am using iphone5 and ipad4
Hey Rotaltask!
1. Yes, just use the WooCommerce shortcodes available on your editor
2. Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1300px) {
#boxed, #boxed #header-outer, #boxed #header-secondary-outer, #boxed #page-header-bg {
width: 1400px!important;
}
.container {
max-width: 1300px!important;
}
}
3. The mobile version doesn’t have the same AJAX cart as the desktop, but a cart icon is added to the header for easy access
Cheers
I’d like to turn off the social share buttons at the top right of the blog pages (I’m using a pluggin for social share that includes email, etc. and puts them along the bottom of posts). Can you tell me how to do this?
Thanks!
Just found it under: Theme Options panel > Blog Settings
Sorry, should have looked there first!
No worries Rob
Cheers
I’m using the Salient theme on my site and would like to make my pages print friendly. Any suggestions or recommended plugins that work well with this theme?
Hey lisanti,
I’m not sure if you could use a plugin for this – but making a print only stylesheet could allow you to target specific items and alter them for print. http://codex.wordpress.org/Styling_for_Print
Hi, thanks for the great theme! (haven’t fully set up my site yet but the theme seem to be great!)
I get this message when trying to install WooCommerce: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\sites\creativietee.boo.vn\wp-includes\class-http.php on line 865
What should I do about it?
Hey transbrother!
It seems your server is timing out which it shouldn’t on 30 seconds – I’d recommend getting in touch with your hosting company to discuss why this may be (could need a bump up in specs or altering of some apache settings)
Hello. I am looking froward to buy this template, but I would like to know if it is posiible to have it on a multisite installation of if I need to have a separate license for each fornt end. (I am working on a english/spanish website)
One license should be fine as long as it’s the same site just different languages and there’s no known issues with using it in a multi site install
Cheers
Is there a way to eliminate the search section from the header? I don’t want the magnifying glass.
Hey geoffmclarty!
yes, please see this in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/52594/search/
Cheers
Do you have the option to move the location of the site-wide call to action?
Hey hybridsmallbiz,
you’d have to take the CTA code from the footer.php and place it where you need it
Cheers
Great template, however it uses a custom scrollbar. You can override this, but it really should not come w/ a custom scrollbar.
To get rid of the custom scrollbar, and retain the nicescroll events:
body { padding-right: 0px !important; }
ascrail2000 {
display: none !important; }
html, html.no-overflow-y { overflow-y: auto !important; }
Hey coderebelbase, there’s an option right in the general settings tab to deactivate it if you don’t want it
also – nicescroll & the styled scrollbar are a packed deal, there’s no option to remove the styling and keep the smooth scrolling by default without custom css as you’ve just written.
Cheers
Hello! I’m having problems with the translation files:
1. I used /lang/default.po / .mo from Salient 3.1 and created a de_DE.po / .mo using Poedit 1.6.4 on my desktop. I uploaded the new files to /lang/de_DE.po / .mo and of course added > define(‘WPLANG’, ‘de_DE’); < to my wp-config.php Translations do not appear, it’s still in English. Any further steps I have to do? (Yes, I cleaned caches…)
2. The Language-Files seems to be incomplete. E.g. I miss translation-string for “Tweet this”, “Pin this”, “Share this” as well as a “View all posts” (Startpage-Template), to name a few of them.
3. Plus the date format is fixed, what is a petty. “F d. Y” is not used in all countries. You could have used what Admins defined in > Settings > General > date format.
Thanks! Karsten
Hey krohn,
1. It looks like you’ve taken all the necessary steps – how about you also install http://wordpress.org/plugins/codestyling-localization/ to verify your changes are being read in the .po
2. The view all views is wording defined by you in the Salient Options panel > Blog options tab – any text defined in the Salient Options panel can’t be added to the .po by default, However the social sharing title attribute missing is a mistake which I’ve noted to add.
3. Will definitely implement this for the next release, thanks for mentioning! If you would like a this feature prior to the next release just supply me your email and I’ll help you out
Cheers
Hey,
1. Translation is working now – stupidity on my side 
2. Thank for pointing me to blog options tab.
3. Would be great. How to provide my mailadress without posting it here and feed the harvesters?
Thanks, Karsten
Great to hear Karsten! You can shoot me an email at themenectar@gmail.com
Cheers
Perfect, my email is on it’s way Thanks!
Thanks! I’ll be responding soon
Wow, nice Theme here. Just getting started, ... How do I achive “Filter by price” in Woocommerce. How can I achive a sidebar in Woocommerce like in your demo includig top rated and categories: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/shop/?sidebar=true
Is it possible to display the art (ajax added) in the boxed version, too? Its not showing up.
Ups found this “WooCommerce Options”. cart and sidebar is clear now. sorry for interrupting.
Hey royaltask! Glad you found the options
Cheers
Hi, how can I make a parent category look different than subcategory in the side menu widget? For exsample if subcategories are normal that parent category appears in bold?
Thank you!
Hey bordizdar!
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
#sidebar .widget_categories ul > li > a {
font-family: 'openSansBold'!important;
}
Cheers
After adding this code the only thing that has changed are categories in main menu and not in the sidebar…
Sorry, my mistake, the change in the main menu was done by me within settings, but still nothing has changed in the sidebar.
Are you on v3.0+? The direct child selector ”>” is only usable in that version or higher in the custom css box and is needed for this mod.
Yep, everything is updated. But I have eventually solved it by instaling some menu plugin in which you can add custom css and now it works, but it doesn’t work on default WP categories widget. Anyways thanks for the code, it helped in the end Cheers!
Interesting, glad you sorted it though!
