Hi,

I’m using default style for my portfolio page. Watch Larger button works with photos but Watch Video button doesn’t – the screen is blank and it doesn’t link to the selected vimeo clip. It used to work fine before the last update (I’m on version 3.1)

Cheers

Hey b1b, the latest version is 3.1.5 and that actually fixed a bug with lightbox video popup that existed in 3.1 :)

Hi there ThemeNectar,

My search does not work sometimes and for some random words… When I run a search, either trough the header or sidebar widget, it crashes for terms like “decoracao” or “decoração” and other ones…

Could you help me with that?

Hey brenolara,

can I get your URL to check this out?

Cheers :)

Hello,

My URL is http://www.limaonagua.com.br/

Best regards

Hey again!

Have you also tried to deactivate Salient to see if this is a theme specific problem? It seems that it’s only getting caught up on that term meaning something in the results page is causing the server hang.

Hi there – a few pre sales questions:

Header layout: I need one with the main logo on the left, a top bar with social icons and secondary menu (above the logo) – the main menu in a bar below the main logo an another graphic roughly the same size as the logo – but on the far right side. So main logo on the left side and second logo on the right (secondary navigation and social icons on top and main navigation below the Logos)

Is this possible? – plus how will this work with responsive views? will the second logo be shown below the main one?

Also do you have the options of adding higher resolution logos for retina devices etc?

Lastly, your boxed version: can it be widened? and how does this affect responsiveness?

Thanks very much

Hey anton123,

1/2. This would require some custom development as you only have the option you have by default in the secondary nav (which can contain social icons/ links) but the other items you’re looking for would need modding/css.

3. Yes, this is an option by default :)

4. It can with some minor css I could provide and the responsive view will work fine.

Cheers!

hi.. Any other ways to make an image be shown on the main page of my Weblog,not using Popular Images? Please show me ,if any,all the ways that I can run it!

Hey backin79,

1. If you’re using the auto excerpt option there’s no other way – but if you disable that you can simply place images into the editor and they will appear and you can then use the more tag to place a read more button after.

2. If you need an ad in the header you’ll have to add it into the header.php file :)

Cheers

My friend

I hope you are well. Thank you for your supprt and professionalism.

We like the theme very much, and have a few minor questions.

Right now are are working on adding the newsletter form to the footer, and I have noticed that the “contact page” in polish has been changed. It showes up with problems.

Can you help me bring it back to normality? when I look at it from the dasboard, all the text and forms are there, they are just displayed incorrectly. http://www.mmevelo.com/kontakt

the english version shows up correctly

Thank you M.

1. Okay this one should do it! :)

 
p, body, .col {
    line-height: 24px!important;
}

2. Here’s the documentation on it https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/styling you would have to implement that into the map.js file inside of the js folder. :)

Cheers!

Hey Friend

1. yey, it works :)

2. will try it. will do my best to make it work.

Thanks, best wishes! M.

You’re welcome! :)

Hello Nectar,

I would like to add a tab at top of my page that will jump down to the “landscape maintenance packages”, how do I go about this? I saw in a previous post of yours, you recommended a plug in. That plug in doesn’t work anymore… Could you help me?

THanks!!

Dear Author and other users,

We’re trying to Activate your theme, but we get error like this:

Fatal error: Call to a member function init() on a non-object in /wp-content/themes/salient/functions.php on line 328

.

Please help.

Best regards, Bartosz & Michal

We have server running on PHP Version 5.2.17.

Hey bentorex!

try opening your js_composer.php file located in wpbakery / js_composer and changing this line:

 if (!defined('VC_THEME_DIR')) define('VC_THEME_DIR', get_theme_root());

to this:

if (!defined('VC_THEME_DIR')) define('VC_THEME_DIR', mb_strcut(get_theme_root(), 1));

Cheers :)

The best way to target a specific menu list item is to go in the wordpress admin.

browse to “Appearance” and from there go to “Menu’s”

At the top of the page you can open of a drop down menu with extra options for menu items.

In this section check the checkbox for “CSS Classes”

This allows you to give a extra custom class to a specific menu list item.

From there use CSS to target that class and style as you want it

Thanks for much for helping out Elektra_bs, RedactiePartners :)

No problem! Some questions are solved by using general wordpress tools! Your support is awesome either way!

You deserve a cookie :D

Hello,

I want to change the color of one of my menu item but I can’t get the code to work

Menu-item-368. Can you give me the code?

Hey again – I am the creator of Salient :p and you can still use !important to override the rule you need to. Checking your URL, it doesn’t appear you’ve added a class to any of your menu items yet but here’s a snippet that will target one item by the ID.

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

 
header#top nav ul li#menu-item-368 a {
    color: #FFFFFF !important;
}

Cheers :)

Thanks a lot! You are awesome!

You’re very welcome! :)

Hi Nectar,

I had to change from using the portfolio template for my main portfolio page to using the short code so I could define a starting category other than “All”. This is not an option in the portfolio template (currently).

Our portfolio page: http://hingedigital.com/work

1. Is it possible to set the starting category on the portfolio template like you can in the shortcode or VC? Could you post the code required to make that change to the portfolio template? My goal is to start by showing a subset of the whole portfolio as the first thing the viewer sees.

2. I noticed after switching from using the portfolio page template to using a short code or VC (even on the same page) that the single portfolio pages no longer associate my portfolio page as it’s default. This worked previously when using the portfolio template. In order to fix this, I would have to go through all 95+ portfolio items to change the “Parent Portfolio Override” to point to the portfolio page. Any way to keep my main portfolio page considered the default, even if it isn’t using the portfolio template?

3. How can we reorder the project categories to put the one you want the viewer to use the most at the top of the sorting menu, instead of alphabetically, as is the default behavior? I’d love to use the “Intuitive Custom Post Order” plugin to reorder the categories in the Project categories menu.

4. Is there a way to delay loading the portfolio images not currently shown? I have over 95 portfolio items in “All” so it makes for a slow initial load of the page. I’d like to show a sub-category (Featured) on initial load and then let the user choose if they want to load another category. This is a BIG issue for usability on the site.

Love Salient. Thanks!

Hi Nectar,

Back to number 5 (the portfolio menu). I noticed that when our portfolio page loads on the iPad (using mobile safari), with the “Featured” menu item as the starting category, the menu is already in it’s dropped down state. If I change the menu option back to “Default” it loads in not dropped down.

Is there a way to fix this bug?

Thanks! Roland

4b. I tried commenting that code out of the init.js file.

The result was not good at all. :(

While the page did load quickly, many of the images (towards the bottom of the page) were stacked on top of each other and only showed small horizontal slivers of the whole image.

Could you add functionality to load a small 1 px placeholder scaled to the correct size that loads quickly and swap it for the real image once loaded — aka Lazy Load?

Thanks, Roland

Hey Roland,

1. I’ve been able to replicate this on my phone as well and have noted to fix it for the upcoming release :) A quick option that would resolve this would be using the horizontal filter display as opposed to the dropdown.

2. Yes, I realize now that it would indeed break the isotope calculations since some columns would be calculated with 0 height. Your solution of the place holder image would work but development would be needed – I’ll add this on the wishlist.

Cheers :)

The best support ever, is this just one man?

Just a quick one, is there anyway that the Slider header text can have a background or is it just on the buttons?

Also, as a development feature for future release it would be awesome if when bringing up the colour box within the different short code options that the accent colours you define in the Salient settings were the default options. I know it’s a small thing but just makes it a bit easier

Thanks again

http://www.timberandcanvas.com/ it’s a work in progress but you can see a now white line along the top

How many questions did you answer? 2000 +?

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

 
#header-outer {
  box-shadow: none!important;
  -webkit-box-shadow: none!important;
}

2. 6000+ :)

Hi again, thanks for the snippet, saved some space! But still I would like to reduce the space between the Title in widgets and the actual content content, and also the space between the categories names.

Thanks for such quick support :)

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

 
#sidebar h4 {
  margin-bottom: 0px!important;
}

#sidebar .widget.widget_categories li a, #sidebar .widget.widget_pages li a, #sidebar .widget.widget_nav_menu li a {
    padding: 3px 0!important;
}

Cheers :)

Great thanks!

You’re welcome :)

Hello. Is there a way to retain the smooth scroll feature, but disable the scroll bar styling? Also, is the next update any closer to release or are we still a ways out? Thanks again.

Hey joe88,

this wouldn’t be possible without custom development currently.

As for the next update – it gets closer everyday since a day hasn’t passed where I haven’t worked on it ;)

Cheers

Hi, it looks like a bunch of my images are huge files that are slowing down my site. What is a good pixel width size that I should save my images at so that the website runs a lot faster? Thank you!

It depends on where you’re using the images – images that will be constrained within the main content area don’t need to be over 1100px in width and full width images in sliders and full width bg sections should be around 1900px for the width :)

Perfect, thank you!

You’re very welcome :)

Hi Theme Nectar

I see that I need to update the skin the way you told me to, to remove the previous file from the server and upload the new version.

We have changed some files, like removed some portions of code and added another, related to the “About” page, and some more, will the removing the files from the server affect the changes or not at all?

Thank you :) M.

Hey New_Castle!

If you’ve modified the core files directly than updating would require you to make those same mods to the new files – going forward you should always keep your edits in a child theme to avoid this :)

Cheers

Is there any easy way to align a button shortcode to the right side of a page? I’d like to allow content to wrap around it.

Switch into the text tab on your editor and do this:

 
<span style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;">[button color="Accent-Color" size="small" url="" text="Test Button"]</span> Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text 

You’re a genius. Thanks.

Hi, is it possible to make these changes shown here… http://i.imgur.com/fq41B2f.jpg

Site is live here… http://harshacognitive.com/urbanworks/?page_id=731

Hey,

1. You can disable the filter bar by disabling the option for enable sortable in the portfolio element.

2. You can remove the arrows this css snippet (paste it into your custom css box)

 
body .sf-sub-indicator {
   display: none!important;
}
body .sf-menu .sf-with-ul a {
   padding-right: 10px!Important;
}

Cheers

1. I’m not sure if I’m seeing the “enable sortable” in the portfolio element. Under the Salient tabe, should I be looking at the “Portfolio Option” tab and where it says “Display Filters Horizontally?” If so, I’ve got this switched off and the horizontal category filter bar is still showing.

2. Thank you! This code worked.

Here’s the enable sortable option as seen in the element :)http://i.imgur.com/EIoQmz7.jpg
