A few issues guys on http://giggle.mcg-uk.com/

1. The parallax feature isn’t working properly. I’m using the ‘nectar slider’ in the WP window on a default template for the home page (I presume this is correct as I can’t get it to work any other way). When scrolling down on a window over 1000px it’s leaving a lot of white space as the top of the image. Can you advise why?

2. Also – when at the smaller resized windows, the main nav and logo disappears and only leaves the secondary nav visible. Again needing advise on why and a fix.

Many thanks.

Ok kind of fixed but only when I have the dynamic/fixed header. Not when I have it in an absolute position at the top. Is there further code that foes with the absolute positioning to make everything else work smoothly too?

Hey again MidasCreative_!

You’d need to write additional css to make the absolute position header work correctly in regards to the parallax header/mobile view – can you please open a ticket in regards on http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ with you admin credentials so I can assist?

Cheers :)

Hi!

I would like to remove featured image from my posts.

I alredy added this code into my custom css box:

.single .post-featured-img { display: none!important; }

So I don’t have the featured image in a single post, but it still appears on this page: http://www.lionram.com/archives/category/victoria How is it possible to delete it?

Thanks!

Hey lionram!

Just change that to this :)

 .post-featured-img { display: none!important; }

Oh, it works! Thank you :)

I really like this theme from everything I’ve read/seen about it. However, my #1 gripe and pre-sale question is can the custom scroll that takes over my browser be disabled? I really dislike the theme specific scroll controls. I’d prefer my native browser control the scroll and if I can disable this feature and maintain all of the capabilities of the theme I am sold.

Hey sburkowski!

Yes there’s an option to toggle the smooth scrolling/styled scrollbar in the Salient Options Panel :)

Cheers

Excellent. Thank you for the quick reply!

You’re very welcome! :)

Hi, great theme~ a couple of questiones~

1. Is it possible to have the box layout for everything, but have the full screen width nectar slider show? And if so, how to do it?And how can I add a shadow under the main body?

2. Can I change the size of the “recent projects” element? For now I can only have 3 projects, but I would like to have 4 and remain the function to drag to left or right to see more.

Thanks!

Thanks weusthem!

1. This actually is not possible by default and would require some custom development unfortunately.

2. This would require modding the init.js file to change the columns – if you open a ticket on the support forum in regards http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ I can assist with this one.

Cheers :)

Hi, Wondering how to make the background of blog posts to be white instead of gray? I don’t care if the entire background and sidebar has to be white as well, or if there is a way to leave the background and sidebar gray, and make just the post’s background white. Either way is fine, i just want the background of my posts to be white.

Is there some code I can put in the custom css box, or is it more complicated than that?

Thanks! tsf

Hey tsf!

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

 
.blog .container-wrap, .single-post .container-wrap {
  background-color: #fff!important;
}

Cheers :)

Works great! Thanks so much!

You’re very welcome :)

Submitted a ticket and several requests for assistance .. Shop page suddenly started rendering products in one column, not three. Woo commerce product Widgets and recently viewed products not rendering in footer.

Hey Thehouseofkrill,

What’s the ticket ID?

Cheers

Hey is there a tutorial on how to add multiple images to the slider like you have on the Home – Portfolio Eye Candy page. I would like to do something similar. Thank you so much!

Zech

Hey zechnelson!

If you want to use images in the Nectar Slider on top of the background image/video set, just enter them into the caption field like:

 
<img src="my-image-source.png" />

Cheers :)

In your instructions I’ve seen recommendations to add media types in the htaccess file. I have done this, but in your documentation you show two different ways to do it:

AddType video/mp4 mp4

AddType video/mp4 m4v

AddType video/ogg ogv

AddType video/webm webm

AddType video/webm webmv

and:

AddType video/mp4 .mp4

AddType video/mp4 .m4v

AddType video/ogg .ogv

AddType video/webm .webm

AddType video/webm .webmv

Does it make any difference if those periods are there?

Hey ctingom!

It should work either way, but if the first doesn’t add the dots in :)

Hi Theme Nectar,

is it possible to set up tabs highlight/hover behaviour to match that in appearance and colour of the menu bar.

For example, for the tab title to change color, not have a square on hover/selection,

example of current set up https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4955093/Screen%20Shot%202014-03-04%20at%2014.36.26.png

thanks as always for your time!

best,

Hey RepublicOfMusic!

If you can share a URL to that page I’d be glad to assist with the css :)

Cheers

Hi. I have a cross browser problem with the nectar slider. I’ve uploaded both mp4, webm and a preview image for the second and third slide which is videobg slides. But it doesnt seem to work like it should. In internet explorer both videos start at the same time and they wont play on mobile. Everything seems to work i Chrome though. plotpoint.dk/BH

Thx

Hey plotpoint,

have you followed the troubleshooing video backgrounds section in the user guide? http://themenectar.com/docs/salient.pdf

It is not about if it loads. The videos works perfectly on Chrome. But in internet explorer it starts running even if its not on that slide and on mobile it wont start. Inserted the AddType to the .htaccess and it didnt help. www.plotpoint.dk/BH

Hey again,

1. It’s not possible to play a video BG on mobile devices, I cover that in my tutorial here: http://youtu.be/FLU9Pxo_RD8?t=6m32s

2. The video should always restart when navigating to the slide, you’re not supposed to be using audio that would make this an issue in the first place though.

Cheers :)

Hello!

Two things: 1.) Any way to enable wishlist/compare page functionality? It’s just about the only thing we’re really missing about our previous theme. 2.) Any way to (easily) apply some opacity to the main/primary menu? (i.e the one that follows you down the page).

If not, consider those on my super-cool, future Salient theme options wishlist ;) along with these:

A.) Universal typography and font color control for H1-2-3-4-5-etc tags. B.) Stand-alone typography/font color control for sliders and reviews. C.) “Yes” or “no” option to enable zoom on mobiles/tablets. D.) Simpler SEO Yoast breadcrumb integration (or, just have breadcrumbs come standard with the theme with “enable”/”disable” options). E.) Ability to hide “Additional Information” tab (this one’s particularly bothersome, as we’re using WooCommerce Product Add-Ons and Subscriptions which, by default, means that the Additional Information tab is redundantly re-listing options which is not really “Additional Information” but something that just looks funny and makes no sense). F.) Maintenance mode!

:)

Thanks again, A.

Hey ajm_76!

1. Unfortunately this would require custom development since there’s nothing in the theme to assist with it.

2. Yes, add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
 
#header-outer {
   background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.8)!important;
}

Thanks for the suggestions – some are already in development :)

Cheers!

Hi guys, just used this code in the custom css box but it’s not removing the border, still keeping a light line. Any ideas why this is?

body #header-secondary-outer a, #header-secondary-outer nav ul li {
  border: 0px!important;
}

Don’t worry, we’ve sorted it. Had a ’;’ in the wrong place!

You’re on a roll today! :D

Hi there,

I logged a ticket a few days ago. Tahir has helped me sort out 2 of 4 issues.

Was wondering if it would be possible to resolve the other 2 today.

Really appreciate it!

Ticket: #171403

Thank you!

All sorted! thanks

Cheers sherissar! :)

Also, we’d like to make the ‘who’ section on this page, size-down evenly. I.e. the image be in line with the text as it goes through the responsive states.

I presume, testing it, that this would mean we’d need to go from 2/3+1/3 to 1/2+1/2 at some point but are unsure as to how to code this or if it’s even possible only using custom css.

Can you please advise?

Many in advance. You guys are stars! :)

Don’t worry about this now guys. Sorted.

Glad to hear MidasCreative_!

Cheers :)

Hello,

I am driving myself crazy trying to add the Yoast SEO breadcrump to this template.. I am using the woocommerce plugin and trying to add the breadcrump to a nice location, but I fail to do so.

I have tried adding it to the header.php but it keeps messing up the layout.

Could you please let me know where I should place the code?

<?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) { yoast_breadcrumb('

','

');} ?>

Thanks in advance!

Awesome, that did the trick!

Did not know I could find support solutions there..

Anyhow, thanks!

You’re welcome! :)

Pasting “article.post img {margin:0 auto!important;}” into the Custom CSS Box doesn’t work,not being positioned in the center.What am I supposed to do then?

Hey again,

just change that to this:

 
article.post img {
    display: block;
    margin: 0 auto !important;
}

Thank you very much.get solved!

You’re very welcome :)

Hi, is it possible to have secondary menu bar underneath the header? And if yes, how do I do it?

Thanx.

Hey bordizdar, for now this wouldn’t be possible without custom development – it would require modding the header.php file to alter the position and then custom css to make it work.

Cheers :)

Adding a section above header:

I am trying to do this to add a telephone number/contact details, above where the menu would be on http://sloly.mcg-uk.com/ what would the custom CSS be to make this possible?

Have searched comments as I’m sure someone would have asked before but can’t find the right answer.

Thanks!

Done this now. Thanks guys!

Cheers again MidasCreative_! :)

Also bud another feature request, how about a main off canvas right or left menu (like squarespace), modern fresh and a great alternative menu system.

Thanks for the request as always! :)
