Hello. Just about to go live. Found a rather strange little bug. Also visible on your demo within the shop pages. When you hover over the quantity box you get a duplicate +/- box. Also there is not enough room for double figures. If you enter ‘10’ you will see what I mean.

Many thanks

Hey digiRich!

Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel – it should sort both issues :)

 .quantity input[type=number]::-webkit-inner-spin-button, 
.quantity input[type=number]::-webkit-outer-spin-button { 
  -webkit-appearance: none; 
  margin: 0; 
}

Hey. Perfect timing!! It does indeed. Thanks so much for a great theme and follow up support.

Possibly one of the best themes I have ever purchased.

Thanks again

You’re very welcome :)

Hi, we’re in love with your theme but we just to check on the followin:

1) Is there any FAQ accordion style shortcode?

2) Is there any left/right sidebar with links, like what is shown here: http://www.kriesi.at/themes/enfold/pages/faq/

3) On the search results, is it possible to return a snippet view rather than just the article title?

Cheers!

Hey sletts02,

1. Yes the toggle also has an accordion option which will allow only open to be open at a time and keep the others closed.

2. There’s a left & right sidebar layout which you can add links to from the standard menu widget.

3. It would require a little modding to the search file to include more information such as the excerpt for the page.

Cheers :)

We bought the theme now and it looks great! There’s one slight problem that I have found consistent throughout this theme. After being on a page for so long, the scrolling feature stops. When I try to scroll down using the mouse wheel or touch pad on mac, it does not scroll down and I have to manually click on the right side bar on my browser.

Is there a fix for this? Your timely response would be appreciated.

Hey samueloh!

What browser are you experiencing this on? The odds are deactivating the smooth scrolling option in your options panel will sort this on your end as well.

Cheers :)

This is on Chrome. I haven’t tested on Firefox or IE, but if you guys could get this fixed, that would be great. This is on Version 33.0.1750.146 m

If you are able to fix this, please let me know so we can update the theme and change back to the smooth scrolling option on. This was a feature we really liked about this theme.

This might be another Chrome 33 issue, but I haven’t been able to replicate it yet. Since the smooth scrolling is powered by a plugin: http://areaaperta.com/nicescroll/ i’ll report this to them to see if it’s a known issue :)

Cheers

I am working with this theme as a subcontractor – love it btw – but I’m wondering what the size of video should be to get decent performance? I’m worried a 10-20 mb file will kill the site. What size files were used in the demo – what should we be aiming for?

Hey oompa_l!

Actually the demo uses files between 15mb – 30mb. That should be small enough to allow constant playing without buffering :)

Hello, every time i like this template. But I would like to insert a button style anchor to take me to a specific part of the page. As does the button below that brings me to the initial part of the page.

Thanks, I’ll be waiting for your reply.

Hey zonacincofoto! You just need to make your button link to the id of the section you wish to scroll to. So for example, ”#about” could be entered into a link and then it would correlate with the section on your page where you have:

 <div id="about"> </div>

Here’s an article on the subject: http://www.wendycholbi.com/anchor-links-jump-links/

Hi I need some help with theme tuning.

http://46.23.77.174/~wwwevery/kontakt/

Slider: I need the top text /velkommen part to move more up to header, where to adjust this. Also the second line with text boxes I need the white font to be more bold.

http://46.23.77.174/~wwwevery/om-oss/ I want to add a gallery with 4-5 small images rotating and when clicking on them they appear in big size in same window like a popup.

Thanks in advance.

Hey ItotalAS,

1a.
 body .swiper-slide .content h2 {
    top: -20px!important;
}
1b.
 .swiper-slide .content p.transparent-bg span {
    font-family: 'openSansBold'!important;
}
2. You could try and use the carousel element if you need an autorotate (just place images inside of each carousel item). However you would be limited to 3 columns instead of 4 or 5. If you think that’s okay, the way to manually call a lightbox would look like this:
 
<a href="larger-image-source.jpg" class="pp "> <img src="image-source.jpg" /></a>

(Remember to enter that into the text tab on your editor as well)

Cheers :)

Thanks,

I managed to do it like this:

http://www.everybodygf.no/om-oss/

For the slider the current is like this:

body .swiper-slide .content h2 { font-family: ‘openSansBold’!important; top: 0px!important; }

.swiper-slide .content h2 { padding: 0px 0px; display: inline; position: relative; left: 10px; background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0); box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0), -15px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0); -moz-box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -15px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); -webkit-box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); -o-box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); line-height: 87px; }

what to remove and replace? looks ok now but I need to move the text more up

Just change the

 
body .swiper-slide .content h2 { 
   font-family: ‘openSansBold’!important; 
   top: 0px!important; 
}

to be

 
body .swiper-slide .content h2 { 
   font-family: ‘openSansBold’!important; 
   top: -20px!important; 
}

or adjust the value to anything you feel like as far as the top px value :)

is there plain html, css and js included? or templates just for wordpress?

Hey noen, it’s a WordPress template so there’s no static HTML files included. If you needed to port it to raw HTML you’d have to do so manually/

Cheers :)

I checked home slider and nectar slider. Only nectar slider has swipe functions on the ipad so far. Is this correct? Thank you for this great Theme, my Fav!

That’s correct royaltask – the Nectar Slider is superior in this aspect since it was designed at its core to be touch friendly.

Cheers :)

I know this is the newbie of newbie questions, but how do i load the dummy data so that I start with what was in the demo? i’ve tried everything htaccess,changing upload to 64M and 600 timeout.any help will be greatly appreciated.

Please see my response to your first comment in regards :)

Hey ervinknight24!

What happens when you try to upload it? The dummy data file is actually quite small so there shouldn’t be any issues with timing out or running out of memory.

Cheers :)

I would like to change the call-to-action button to a picture/custom button. Is this possible and if so what would the code be to insert my own image? Thanks!

Hey adamgentry!

It’s possible – you would just need to edit the footer.php file. Open that up and replace this:

 <?php if(!empty($options['cta-btn'])) echo $options['cta-btn']; ?>

with

 <img src="your-image-src.png" />

Cheers :)

Hi there! Amazing theme!

On this page http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/love-at-first-sight/#prettyPhoto/0/ the button “Bye a Beer instead” opens and plays a video, not in a new window, but still somehow in fullscreen.. I tried a couple of things, but still haven’t been able to make same thing on my site.. How do I do?

Thanks!

And is it possible to disable the comment box in the portfolio?

Hey friis80!

1. You just need to enter your Youtbe/Vimeo link into the slider button 1 or 2 Link field. The lightbox effect will get called automatically if the URL is from one of those two sources.

2.
 .single-portfolio .comments-section {
  display: none!important;
}

Cheers :)

This is a gorgeous theme!

I’d like the text on my page header not to wrap. An example is: http://guntermurphy.com/kerry-l-murphy/ and I don’t want the name split onto two lines.

Thoughts?! Thanks!

Hey kelsangnyema!

Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:

#page-header-bg .span_6 {
   width: 100%!important;
}

Cheers :)

Thanks, that did it!

You’re welcome! :)

Hi ThemeNectar,

First off – thanks for getting back to me with all my issues so far. You’ve been great help.

I have a couple of more issues if you don’t mind.

1. There are certain portfolio items that do not showing up in home page portfolio. Example ‘Barry’ blackberry video isn’t showing up under the ‘corporate’ filter on the home page, but when you go to the ‘Our Work’ page it shows up.

2. I’m seeing some spacing issues for when I resize my window down to mobile screen size. Specifically, on the home page, the responsiveness of the text inside the home slider (at the very top) sits awkwardly below the demo reel video when the browser window width is too small.

Thanks so much in advance!

Hey morningowl!

1. Ideally I would need to log in to take a peek at what your setup is to say what’s going on. Can you open a private ticket on the forum in regards?

2. If you can share your URL to this page I’ll gladly take a look for you :)

Cheers

Hi themenectar,

I’ll open a ticket regarding 1) and as for number 2) http://www.morning-owl.com/ – thanks!

I see that now – It’s happening because the Home Slider expects your video to be a 16:9 aspect ratio. Can you try changing the defined width/height on the iframe embed code to be 1280 by 720?

Hi, any reason why my portfolio thumbnail images aren’t the same height? See screenshot here… http://i.imgur.com/8EyI2h2.jpg

site live here… harshacognitive.com/urbanworks

Hey again!

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

 .portfolio-wrap {
  margin-bottom: 0!important;
}

Cheers :)

This looks great! Thank you!

You’re welcome :)

Hi. Before I purchase I just have the following questions:

1. Can I create a line under the top menu bar. An example is www.rvca.com

2. In the portfolio, can you scroll over an image and have it highlight the title or image subject, if so can you set the background color as transparent white. Here is an example: https://www.rvca.com/t/advocates

3. Can you create a fixed sidebar menu for the blog only: Here is an example: http://www.korduroy.tv/blog

4. Can I make the scroll bar on the side thinner or transparent? Also I would like to make the bar scroll slower, Can I do that?

Thank You for your time!

Hey brettc81,

1. Yes, with a line of custom css.

2. Yes, also with a bit more of custom css :)

3. This would take some custom development currently as this is only an option in the portfolio post type.

4. Yes, but both items would require some modding to the theme scripts.

Cheers!

Thank You. Can you please clarify what you mean by modding to the theme scripts? Is that extensive programming?

Thanks

4 wouldn’t be too bad, just changing some parameters in the main javascript file (init.js) – I could lead you to the right section if needed :)

Does Salient have a know issue with Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu? When testing the theme on a friend’s website I enable the drop down menu and an enormous Salient Symbol dominates the top of the admin panel. Sort of ridiculous.

Hey boheema,

The icon you’re seeing is the salient options panel icon. It doesn’t have the appropriate height and width attributes since the plugin you’re using changes the standard markup of the admin structure. If your friend can open a ticket in regards I’ll gladly assist http://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Cheers

I’ve already moved on to another theme, I do not have the time to wait for this project. For the future—Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu is a widely used plugin. I have never seen a theme that had an issue with it, you folks should address it in your next update. 756k downloads for that plugin. I never install a site without it.

Hey again boheema, as ablisstellsitlikeitis pointed out the solution is actually very simple and resides within the plugin options.

Cheers ;)

I am using YITH for Woocommerce. Thumbnail is now showing big without hovering. If I hover another big image is showing on the right. Where can I define the size.

Hey royaltask, is there anyway you can share the URL so I can take a peek?

Cheers :)

Dude, this Eden theme on themeforest looks alot like yours… is that legal?

Either way, love your theme! (Psst to all the imitators!) It has brought me great joy in working with such an easy platform to configure!

Thanks for bringing this to my attention jmbender – it’s truly unfortunate how much “inspiration” this & some others have taken, but there’s not much I can do. It makes me feel better knowing that you noticed at least! Much more frustrating when no one catches on.

Cheers!
