Lot of neat features on this theme!

1) Can category post pages, archived pages, etc., be set to default to the blog masonry grid option?

2) If that’s not a standard option, can I take the time to make a page for each category and tag, using some kind of page builder asset and direct the appropriate posts there?

3) I notice on your masonry blog view that some of the posts don’t have a read more button, and some do. This seems ideal to me. I have a ton of very short posts that I don’t see the value in a reader clicking through to read any more stuff. Yet, for others I will. Am I understanding this correct that if I set the excerpt at 40 char or so, and write under that length, the read more will not appear?

4) If I was to add text to a post and used either a shortcode to create a highlighter effect, or just used normal html buttons to boldface, change color of text, or add a bulleted list where the items where acutally links to websites – is there any reason why this would NOT show up in the masonry grid format. My really old theme = no problem. My new one = not possible, so I have to dump it.

5) Is there any “related posts” widget or something that can be placed at the bottom of a post or on a home page that would refer to other posts within that category?

6) Can’t seem to find this under your portfolio examples. Do any give you the ability to write about a 20-30 character excerpt?

Thanks so much!! Love your theme’s styling and functionality.

Thanks!

any word on that RTL support ?

Good morning. I know the Salient blog options panel allows to switch on social sharing buttons on post pages. These buttons currently seem to appear in the top right corner of a post. Is there a way to have them show up in the bottom after the post’s content (because that’s where users will typically be after they’ve read a post and make a decision on whether to share or not)?

Thank you.

Hello. Does the theme include any type of gallery component, like this example, http://the7.dream-demo.com/shortcodes/standard-wp-gallery-layouts. If not, is there plans for this soon. Thanks

Hello! In the Team section, can I show two rows of team members instead of a carrousel? Also, we can make it four columns, right? Thanks!

Is it possible to create single shop items with a sidebar? I don’t see this in the demo…

My friend

I created Child Theme for Salient, Salinet-child

/*
Theme Name: Salient Child
Theme URI: http: //www.mysite.com/wp-content/themes/salient-child
Description: This is a custom child theme I have created.
Author: author
Author URI: http: //www.mysite.com/
Template: salient
Version: 3.0
*/

@import url("../salient/style.css"); 

/* =Theme customization starts here
-------------------------------------------------------------- */

but when I activate the child theme through the dashboard, ther are some problems, related to the nav bars. The main nav bar has no items assigned, and neither does the secondary nav bar, plus the secondary nac bar has no colour, and when I scroll the site down, the nav bars behave ina strange fashion.

what might be happening wrong?

Thank you and best wishes M.

I’ve got three widgets in my footer. For mobile size (e.g iPad) it pushes them together so there’s two widgets on one line, and the third is pushed below them. I’d like to keep all three widgets in a row (I’ve got lots of room since I’ve made the widget elements smaller in the responsive.css file already). Can you tell me where to do this?

Thanks Rob

Hi Nectar,.. is there any way we can put one layer [ some kind div ] to image detail in portfolio [ for a blank.gif ] .. to prevent user right click to save our art image .. http://mantradigital.com/portfolio/whisper-to-the-angel

Hi Nectar,

In our single portfolio pages we are using the image gallery “nectar slider style” for showing off still images and concept art from our commercials.

Most of our images in those galleries are 16×9, though sometimes we mix and match. As a result if we set the size to 1280×720 (or some other 16:9 resolution), the odd sized ones get cut off. I’m ok with that.

However, I’ve noticed that when I resize my browser window to a larger res, the format of the gallery goes from 16:9 to square. Scaling the window down maintains the 16:9 proportion. Can you confirm if this is a bug? If not what is the correct “size” we should be using to maintain the 16:9 ratio of the gallery?

See here for an example: http://hingedigital.com/projects/carrington-park/

Thanks! Roland

Hi there!

Can you tell me how to change my blog to the masonry style? I can’t seem to figure out how to do it…

Thanks!

Hi, On the theme’s previous version the plugin Easy Modal worked finely on pages with or without the Nectar slider (even links inside tabs and such). After upgrading the theme to the latest version, the plugin does not work on pages with the Nectar slider. After I remove the slider, all is OK again. Please, any tip or help to fix this? Thank you very much. Best regards.

Hi there. Been going crazy try to figure out this bug.

On any page using visual composer and adding a row, then adding ‘client display’ if I have more than 2 created and then try to reorder it deletes the one I just reordered when I update the page.

Please fix. I am on the latest revision.

Thank you in advance.

Spent quite a bit of time reviewing other posts and tried to implement a solution you provided to someone else, but it hasn’t worked. I’m trying to override the font weight for my h2 headers in a Text Block on a particular page, so I don’t have to change it for all headers in my site.

I tried to added a new style to the Custom CSS Code area in General Options

.h2-light {
    font-weight:300;
}

And then in the Text block itself, went to the “Text” tab, and modified my h2 tag that was already there to say:

<h2 class="h2-light">My text here </h2>

I didn’t put anything into the “Extra Class name” field.

Unfortunately either my style is wrong or it’s not connecting that class to what I setup int he custom box.

I appreciate your help.

Hey again. How to disable the search icon from the header, right next to the menu?

Thanks!

Two questions, how can we make the secondary header just show social icons and not have it say (no menu assigned)

Also how can I make the main header transparent?

Hello,

I bought this template and have a question regarding the lazy loading to avoid pagination (of blog and portfolio). After reading the comments here, I saw this is not supported yet. I have installed the infinite scroll plugin but this requires a few setups to work. Can you give me the css selectors asked : 1) Content Selector (Div containing your theme’s content). By default : #content 2) Navigation Selector (Div containing your theme’s navigation). By default : #nav-below 3) Next Selector (Link to next page of content). By default : #nav-below a:first 4) Item Selector (Div containing an individual post). By default : .post

Thanks in advance !

This is more of what I know as a person who is currently developing with the theme.

1) It requires some custom coding but it shouldn’t be to hard to implement this using a child theme (so as to not alter the original files and allow future updates to easily install)

2) Currently salient doesn’t allow the images in the menu dropdown as far as I can see but they do work in Tabs and Accordions

3) Not natively for the Pie charts but there is an awesome plugin called wp-charts (http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-charts/) I haven’t tested it but it should work seeing as it has shortcodes so I don’t see why not

Very nice job on the Salient update. I have been keeping an eye on this theme for a while. Just a couple questions:

1) Does Salient support Header Widgets (ie – header widget that would appear above top menu nav bar)?

a) If so, can it support adding custom html for featuring - say - Social Icon bar, Language Switcher (with WPML installed of course), custom menu?

2) Does Salient support images in Menu dropdowns and also in Tabs and Accordion sections?

3) Does theme come with other animated info graphs besides the horizontal line graph and milestone counters? Specifically, I require animated Pie Charts, Donut Charts, Elevation Graphs, etc…

a) If not, it there a plug-in with these features which have been tested to be compatible to allow for easy integration that you can recommend?

— This is truly a beautiful theme. I have seen many themes on this marketplace as well as others that attempt to achieve the cleanness and smooth functionality of Salient and they all fall horribly short! (I dare say some some are outright copies of this theme, and I suppose in their effort to modify the code JUST enough not to get their pants sued off, they botched functionality).

As they say, you cannot perfect PERFECTION, and this theme is certainly that!

Really, keep up the GOOD WORK! I am a designer and developer and RARELY do I find a theme worthy of purchasing for projects (frankly, I can design/dev my own), but WOW! This theme is truly amazing both visually as well as under the hood!

Keep up the amazing work!!! And don’t let the imitators get you down.

PS – I do have a few corporate attorneys friends and if you ever need to pursue copyright or intellectual property infringement claims, depending on your location, I might be able to refer you to some.

Anyway, amazing theme!
