Hello TN,

I have a question about the sizing of masonry items related to screen resolution. I have a website running with full width portfolio masonry style with six portfolio items (pages). When I watch it on a monitor with resolution 1920×1080 all sizes well, but when being watched on a lower resolution screen instead of a

W-W-R R-W-W

lay-out I get

W-W R-R-W W

(W=wide portfolio item, R=regular portfolio item)

So the resolution screws with the layout. Is there something i overlooked? Also on tablets and phones it doesn’t size well at all.

Thanks for your reply :)

Hey RF_jungle! Anyway I could see your URL to make sure nothing is wrong?

Cheers :)

What is the best size for Nectar Slide when you are using an image. I have noticed that sometimes the image on there doesn’t always work for responsive. See here. Resize the browser and look at the calibration image on the right.

Hey tabishiqbal!

The Nectar Slider is getting an option in the upcoming update (which will be out later this week) to allow for the constant resizing you’re looking for. The purpose of it will be to essentially allow for no clipping on your slider regardless of the screen size viewed on.

Stay tuned :)

Thanks! I’ve bought several themes on ThemeForest however ThemeNectar’s is one of the best! Keep it up!

Thanks so much tabishiqbal! :)

Hi there,

Is there a way to add a youtube or vimeo URL to the nectar slider instead of uploading a video?

Hey radisafi,

Unfortunately not if you’re trying to make it the background for the slide. However videos can be embedded into the slide itself by pasting the iframe embed code into the caption field.

Cheers

Hi there,

I am having a great time with the theme, but still need some help here.

My category pages are displaying titles as setup in the Wordpress SEO plugin… In fact, my title that goes in the head section is a litte bit different from the one I would like to show on the category page, that is the category title only.

The problem does not occur with posts, however. My posts titles are displaying the right way both for the single page and for the head section.

For the category pages, I would like to get rid of the “ %sitename %” part of the title only between the

....

tags, but not between the <title>... </title> tags.

Could you help me with that?

Regards,

Breno

Hey Breno!

Open up the index.php file and change this:

<h1><?php wp_title("",true); ?></h1>

to this:

<h1><?php 

if(is_category()) {
   single_cat_title('',true);
} else {
   wp_title("",true); 
}
?></h1>

Cheers :)

Worked like a charm. Thank you!

You’re very welcome! :)

Hi there,

does this theme of a single page scrolling site setting?

Thanks.

Hey drog1998,

You can accomplish that by using a plugin such as http://wordpress.org/plugins/page-scroll-to-id/

Cheers :)

thanks for the quick reply

No problem! :)

Hi there,

A couple of quick questions:

1. How do you change the colour of hyperlinks site-wide? I want these to be ‘Extra Colour 1’ rather than ‘Accent Colour’.

2. How do you change the ‘Sort Portfolio’ category headings to a dropdown box instead of displaying all? I have already turned off the “Display filters horizontally” option in Salient > Portfolio Options but it does not work. Example here: http://whaleshark.co.nz/projects/

3. Alongside each portfolio page, Project Attributes are displayed. Is there a way to display the Project Categories instead? Example here: http://whaleshark.co.nz/portfolio/cuba/

Thank you, awesome theme, Camden

Thanks Camden!

1. Add this into your Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
 html body a {
    color: #27CCC0;
}
body article.post .post-header h2 a {
  color: #27CCC0!important;
}

2. You need to change that option in actual page builder element itself too since you’re using that and not the page layout. Just switch into the visual composer view and edit the element :)

3. This would require some custom development actually – if you’re willing to try it the file to edit is going to be single-portfolio.php

Cheers :)

Thanks for the super-quick reply, appreciate it. Regarding point 1, I’m not sure that this CSS has worked, as it has not influenced the header and footer hyperlink colours.

Is there a way of changing all text hyperlinks across the whole site to appear as the ‘Extra Colour 1’ specified in the Salient Accent Colour Options panel?

Thanks again.

Hey again – the header/footer colors are both editable via the header/footer options tab. Just select “custom” for the color scheme to reveal the color pickers you need :)

Hello,

I am trying to add a slider underneath some content in a full width portfolio, using the nectar slider but it continues to anchor to the top of the page. Am i missing a setting?

Thanks

Ah! Makes sense. Thanks!

Actually I have a new question… I would like to have some portfolio links go to the “more info” page but some I would like to have load just the video as a pop up. Is this possible? Thanks!!

Hey again!

Currently there’s only the option to do all one way or the other with that style – but i’ve noted the idea to mark certain projects as lightbox only :)

Cheers

Houston, we have a problem. You’ll remember that I said I was on a Mac. I was afraid that having one problem might mean there would be others, and so there are. I’m trying to connect my Nectar slide with my Slider Location, and it’s not allowing me to do that. On the slide editor, there is a box on the right side called “Slider Locations,” with the name of my location and a box next to it. It is not allowing me to check that box. When I try to add a new slider location, it is not allowing me to do that either – the link is unclickable. I guess it’s good that you guys know that you have some Mac compatibility issues, but this is not looking good for me. I need to have this web site done by the end of the week. Please help me with this as soon as possible.

In the mean time, I’ll try using the Home Slider.

Thanks.

I have created a short screencast for you to visually demonstrate what I explained above: http://www.screencast.com/t/0WQE4RbuCUyR

The problem has nothing to do with what OS you’re on – it’s simply a matter of viewing the page on a screen larger than 1100px. I’ve taken the time to confirm this on PC & Mac for Chrome/Firefox/Safari. Also in regards to your last point, you are indeed the first person to report this. Is your monitors resolution set lower than 1100px for the width? Also I’ve confirmed that the zoom out option should still fix the issue when using a smaller view.

Please let me know if you see what I meant now :)

Cheers

I appreciate your doing that for me. Actually, I keep my screen set at 1344px. So I do not believe that was the problem.

I say “was” because, amazingly, the links and boxes now work. The only thing I can think of that may have caused them to start working is the fact that I shut down my computer today and then restarted it. That sometimes corrects unexplainable problems.

Anyhow, my apologies for any trouble I may have caused. Thanks for going the extra mile.

No problem at all! I’m glad to hear it’s sorted for you now :)

Hi, I’m trying to remove the date from the portfolio page (all portfolio items). Have tried the code that the author supplied in response to an earlier comment – http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/4363266/comments?page=11#comment_3683834 – but it doesn’t work.

Any suggestions? Many thanks!

Hey filleboheme!

There’s actually an option in your Portfolio Options tab in the Salient Options panel to disable the date in all portfolio items :)

Cheers

Hi, I would like ask you if is possible in some way to make gallery (batch of images – no portfolio) like responsive masonry grid and then to link images to lightbox. Basically the same functionality like now in your template (in Image gallery) but without slider – with thumbnails responsive grid (masonry)... Thanks a lot!

Hey rattar! This option is coming in the next update which will be out in less than a week :)

Cheers!

Wow! Perfect! More flexible gallery is very important for creative brands. Especially when we need to use images in vertical ratio (fashion lookbook). Due to this missing gallery principle in your template I started to find another solution (some free or premium plugin). I even bought a few of them but I was not saccessful with my choice (I tried the plugins with best reviews, sales and rating!). Thanks to this experience I realised, that there is the big gap on the market. Concretely with simple, clean design gallery or kind of carousel which works responsively and reliably on desktop, tablet and mobile. Generally something simple (I mean kind of minimalist design too) & lightweigted to show batch of images across basic contemporary browsing internet platforms. So thank you very much for this naturally important update!

Of course! I know you’ll really like it as there’s some new styles to choose from too :)

Sit tight!

Hi!I love the theme and the update! Its working great. Unfortunately, I’m having trouble using the permalinks. I tried everything I know, I even upload the .htcaccess but anything seems work. I have no idea where can be the problem. I hope you can help me in some way.

Thanks in advantage and congratulations for your good job.

María

Hey again! Have you also tried to switch themes to see if this only happens when you’re using Salient?

Now I did, seems is not working with any theme… Thanks

I would recommend getting in touch with your hosting company – they’ll most likely be able to assist :)

Cheers

Hi, I run a Nectar Slider on my home page. This one http://www.vivileggera.it

Now it run in full screen mode and I can’t remember how to find the option to change it’s visualization as I used in an earlier version of the website.

I’d like to have the image site wide but with a reduced height so that users can immediately see what it is right below the Slider. Exactly as it’s in your preview here. http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266

It sounds dumb but i really can’t find how to revert to the previous version.

Thanks in advance.

Ok. I’m dumb. Don’t bother to answer me I fixed it. Great theme anyway.

Thanks

Hey mtontini – glad you sorted it :)

Cheers!

Hello again ThemeNectar,

I am making a single page slider site and your theme is working out beautifully. I had another question regarding the header menu.

1) Why is there an odd gap between some of the submenues? HERE under ‘Enterprises’.

2) Why are the anchor links in the menu persistently active? I assume it is because I am making a single page slider, but I can’t nab the correct css to make them perform normally. Any work arounds, or am I simply going about this the wrong way?

Any input helps :) Thanks again for the great theme!

Ahh, my browser was indeed zoomed in slightly. Zooming back out to 100% fixed it – thanks.

Hmm, still seeing active links with the added styling you provided.

You can disregard that last comment. It did indeed work nicely :) Thanks so much!

How do I refer to my accented colors with css hex color-codes?

No worries!

When you’re in the accent color options tab all you need to do is click one of the color pickers and the hex code will display to the right: http://i.imgur.com/Ysp6TCM.png

Cheers :)

+1 on vertical tabs!

Thanks tabishiqbal :)

Hi there. Theme is really cool! I am having one problem. On my Apple devices (iPad/iPhone) the videos do not work. On my PC, PC laptop – everything is great… On the demo the videos do not work either on my Mac devices – just show fallback img. I have all 3 formats uploaded. What gives???

Does it have something to do with the fact that iPad and iPhone are mobile devices? If so that sucks but have you coded an easy way to fall back to a standard slideshow instead of static img??

Hey worldonecoder,

I cover this in depth in the Nectar Slider tutorial here: http://youtu.be/FLU9Pxo_RD8?t=6m34s

Unfortunately it’s not possible to have an autoplaying video on mobile devices for data usage reasons so the fallback is an image instead. Since video backgrounds are an option in the Nectar Slider – having a slideshow option for one slide within a slider wouldn’t be practical, but one workaround would be to simply use an animated gif for the mobile image.

Cheers

Hey Themenectar

My heading text isn’t showing up on mobile for some reason. www.morning-owl.com – please help!

Hey morningowl!

Are you referring to the slider text ” We create unique video content that engages audiences in new and exciting ways.” ?

If so, I was able to see it normally via my GS4 when clicking on the “More Info” button. What device are you not able to see it on?

Hey ThemeNectar – I’m looking at it on my GS4 too! I’m referring to the heading text as in, “our work” “our clients” “we are morning owl”

Sorry I was looking in the wrong place! The reason it’s happening is because you have them wrapped in span tags – to solve it simply add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:

 
.row .col.section-title span {
    display: block!important;
} 

Cheers :)

Hi ThemeNectar, I have a problem: I installed the theme but the main menu is centered (but I want it floating on the right, like in your demo) and this happen that the header is too big (becaus the menu is under the logo if is centered)!

I checked the .css and it is fine, with the “float:left” (i did’nt modified it).

Glad to hear you’ve narrowed it down :)

In regards to the images taking too long to upload – you might need to get in touch with your hosting company in regards since it sounds like a timeout or memory issue.

Let me know how it goes!

Cheers

Thanks, Now i have a bigger problem (i can’t update the pages) where can i send you the website acces? Nectar shortcodes and page’s update doesen’t work anymore…

pre-sales question: do you have an audio player to put on pages? (shortcodes or something) I know you have audio posts, I would need something similar to put on static pages

thanks

Hey inezzita,

Yes – you can use the same audio element you see in the audio post format anywhere else on your pages too :)

Hello I want to have 2 bars in my blog page. One for blog category list, Something very similar what we can have for portfolio categories (hopefully horizontal list not vertical) and another for to have a call button. Anything I make in my original blog page with page builder (the one selected at reading blog page) wouldn’t be seen.

So I made a normal page now! Here is the mock up page I was able to make what I wanted with amazing page builder options. However the problem is now bars wouldn’t stay in any other blog post pages?

http://id-thought.com/blog-deneme/

if you have any suggestions to fix it (I am ok with php stuff) I appreciate the help and guidance. (Also I couldn’t delete the
tag from category list for some reason if you have any idea about it that would be great!)

I wish we would be able to edit blog page with visual editor. I wish also to have navigation arrows in blog post pages (it would be amazing to have it as a part of visual editor element)

Thank you for this amazing theme. It reads my mind!

Also I cannot see filters in my portfolio page (both horizontal and vertical is not there for some reason) Do you have any idea why this can happen?

Never mind the portfolio page filter issue I forgot I had to check the sorting option.

Hey ekapkin!

I’m glad you figured out the correct way to add things above your main blog page :)

If you want to hold those elements into the single post page you would need to edit the single.php template file that’s located in the root of the theme folder. The easiest option for adding those sections in would be to simply copy & paste the raw HTML (which you can get from viewing the page source on your main blog page).

Thanks for suggestion for adding arrows into the blog post – this is an item that’s already on the wish list. However if you wanted it now it would also require a little modding to the single.php file. Here’s the code to add where you need it:

 
<?php next_post_link('%link','<i class="icon-salient-left-arrow-thin" />'); ?>
><?php previous_post_link('%link','<i class="icon-salient-right-arrow-thin" />'); ?>

Cheers!

Thank you for the amazing Salient theme!

I am working on a responsive mobile oriented site and I would love to adjust the portfolio to be centered & responsive. In other words, the wider the screen the more projects are shown shown – the narrower the screen, the fewer projects are shown.

Here’s an example: http://justbusiness.is/#enterprises

Any suggestions?

No problem!

Unfortunately this isn’t possible at the moment because the portfolio layout uses the plugin isotope to calculate the layout & all of the items are actually positioned absolutely.

Great, thanks for the info! Much appreciated.

You’re very welcome :)
