Hey Jack!

1. I’m seeing a lot of weird things happening in your stylesheet as if it’s been modified somehow. Is there anyway you could allow me to log in so I can check on the files?

2. Make sure you have a URL entered for that in the Portfolio options tab of the Salient options panel.

Cheers

Hey! Thanks for the help. Oh modified in what way? Sure, do you need me to send the password via a secure email? Or can you get in without it?

Hey M1chaela!

1. The update is available for download on ThemeForest – just redownlolad the theme to get the latest version. (There’s no way to update through the admin dashboard)

2. Can you please share your URL so I can check out your portfolio and see if we’re thinking of the same thing?

Cheers

Thanks! Sure! http://www.creativeby.se/portfolio/

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

 
.page-id-69 .container-wrap {
   margin-top: -55px!important;
}

Cheers

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 but now Sorry I tried it, copied exactly but it doesn’t work. In the CSS frame it says yellow warning: ! “Use of !important”

I know how to find a row in php and do the change in … what’s it called in english.. where the php is – if that helps..

Hey James!

 
.meta-author, .meta-category, .meta-comment-count {
  display: none!important;
}

2. Which slide are you referring to? You can adjust the content alignment by using these options: http://i.imgur.com/g7GNJi7.png

Hey thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

I’ve got another question. I’ve set the height of the Nectar slider to 600px but it keeps showing full screen – http://braincandyfilms.com/home-alt/ What am I doing wrong?

You’re welcome! It appears you’ve left the option for fullscreen on – can you please ensure that it is off on your slider element?

Cheers

Well that was easy, thanks!!

Is there also a way to embed a link in the background image of a nectar slide, whilst keeping the button links as they are?

One more thing. In the recent projects page element, it seems to handle portfolio items that have “tall” or “regular” featured images differently to ones that have “wide” or “wide and tall” images. If you take a look at my page – http://braincandyfilms.com/home/ – you will see that there is no + symbol on some of my portfolio items. If I change the setting in the recent projects element to “meta below thumb w/ links on hover”, these portfolio items have no meta and are a different size to the others.

Is there a bit of custom css I can use to fix this? Thanks.

Hey again James!

1. This would actually take some custom development since it’s only designed to handle one or the other right now.

2. I know it says the minimum dimensions for that size is 500×1000 but since you’re using the full width recent projects, you need to make sure the minimum width is 600px. So just upload the image at 600×1000

Cheers

Many thanks, that’s worked a treat!

Unfortunately I have more questions

1. I’ve just tested my site on a few different computers and browsers and I’m having a few issues with the portfolio page. Firstly the page does not display correctly on Chrome. The portfolio items sit only on the left side and middle of the page and the right side is empty.

2. On different screen resolutions the items display differently, so I can get it looking great on one screen but on another screen it will have white spaces between the portfolio items. Is there any way to fill these spaces up? Maybe by using a few images that can be used as place holders to fill up those spaces when they appear?

3. Is it possible to reduce the opacity of the coloured overlay that appears on portfolio items when you hover over them?

4. I’ve been designing my website on a macbook but when I viewed it on an iMac just now, the front page was behaving strangely. When I scroll up the page as soon as the Nectar Slider starts to become visible, the image that’s in the slide flashes across the whole website. I know that’s a little vague so I’ve recorded a screen cast of it, which you can view here – https://vimeo.com/88263998. The password is flicker. Any ideas why this may be happening?

Many thanks and sorry for all the questions!!

Cheers

Hey again!

1. Please update to the latest release of the theme as this chrome 33 bug was sorted in v 3.15 of Salient.

2. Well you can certainly alter the BG color or put a BG image that will show through the empty space, but having the spaces go away completely would require ordering the projects a little differently by using this plugin to assist http://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/

 
$(this).find('.work-info-bg').stop().animate({
    'opacity' : 0.88
},250,'easeOutCubic');

4. Can you try turning the smooth scrolling option off to see if it remedies this behavior?

Cheers

Thanks for your help!

1. Can I update without losing all of the work I’ve done? Is this a case of downloading the new theme and installing it again or is there an update function?

2. How can I put a background image that resizes to just fit the space behind the portfolio items when viewed on different devices?

3. That worked a treat!

4. This hasn’t fixed the issue.

5. Is there a way to adjust the paragraph spacing in the blog?

Best

Hey!

If you’re not using the header resize option it’s reasonably doable and I could assist with the css – but if you have that option on it would require custom development (JS & CSS)

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar, I can have it on whichever is the easier method, so resize off is fine

Hey bveth!

This would require simply adding a class onto the column you want to give the BG color (you can do this in the page builder view as of 3.1.5) and then using css to set the BG color. If you would like me to set up an example of this for you on your site, please just open a private ticket at themenectar.ticksy.com/ with your credentials

Cheers!

Hey Guys, I will open up a private ticket. Thanks for your comment!

Cheers, Bibi

You’re welcome

Heya, I opened this ticket: #171857 like you asked. Looking forward to your example. Cheers.

Hey again!

Just open the style.css and remove this

object, object embed {
 display: block;
 height: auto;
 max-width: 100%!important;
}

And then in the custom css box add this:

object {
  margin: 6px 0!important;
}

Cheers!

Hi!

Thank you, I have not implemented it yet, but we have some issues with the site. Whenever I want to save any changes, whether it is to save a page, or to remove a slider, blank screen appears with this eror message:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/lukaszjankjn/ftp/mmevelo/wp-content/themes/salient/functions.php:2449) in /home/lukaszjankjn/ftp/mmevelo/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 896

When I click “back” on the dasboard” it returns to the previous page, and when I refresh the page, it shows me that the changes I wanted to se, like the slide deleted, or page updated, took place, but this error message appears every time I want to save the changes.

Please help Thank you M.

and this same error message appears:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/lukaszjankjn/ftp/mmevelo/wp-content/themes/salient/functions.php:2449) in /home/lukaszjankjn/ftp/mmevelo/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 896

when I try saving the Contact page it comes back with:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/lukaszjankjn/ftp/mmevelo/wp-content/themes/salient/functions.php:2449) in /home/lukaszjankjn/ftp/mmevelo/wp-admin/post.php on line 233

I am sure that this is something easy, and can be solved without a trouble. Thank you, best wishes M.

Theme Nectar

I have uploaded the theme again, and also changed the style.php again, and now it all works.

I think the first upload we did must have had some errors, or we did not upload everything, so it produced that error message.

Thank you for the update Best wishes M.

Hey scratsmacker!

Sorry for the scare – the template names for the portfolio and contact just needed to be changed for 2.6.5 and there unfortunately was no way around having them unassign when doing that. I apologize you didn’t see the message I posted on here in regards because the update was a while ago:

“One note for upgrading users – Please make sure the portfolio/contact templates are assigned in your “Page Attributes” box when editing the pages if you notice they are blank. Those two template files had to be renamed for the update and WordPress automatically reverts to the default one when that changes.”

Cheers!

Hey ThemeNectar!

Don’t worry, it didn’t scare me. I have enough experience with wordpress and themes to know that it’s almost never as bad as it looks

Thanks for the explanation but I’m at a loss finding this page attributes box. Could you tell me exactly where I can find it? It would be much appreciated.

Sure! Check this out: http://en.support.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/find_page_attributes.png?w=688

Of course! I was thrown off by the “page attributes”. My former theme doesn’t use pages for the portfolio. So I was constantly looking for this attributes thing within the porfolio items. Fixed now. Thanks again!

By the way, great theme! Bought it some time ago but kinda procrastinate on actually migrating the content from my old site. But now that I updated to the latest version I’ve seen again why I purchased it in the first place. Sooo much better than my old theme. Now I’m really inspired again to finish the darn thing. It’s just sooo much work

Hello chonafree,

You can adjust the position on the x & y axis using the “Slide Content Alignment” options: http://i.imgur.com/9lyT9lb.png If those are not working for you, please share a URL so I can see and if you need to position the content more specifically than that you’ll need to use css

Cheers

Found it, sorry.

Hey marcfest!

If you can provide me a URL to the page where you’re trying to center it I’ll be able to assist

Cheers

Hi, thanks for your reply. THe URL is at http://outpost.marcfest.com/

While I have you, another question: How can I place a background graphic in the header space?

Thanks again.

Marc.
