Hi,

Congrats for this beautiful theme. i purchase a licence 2 weeks ago and now i what to update the theme. Can you help me with that? Best regards, Bogdan

Hey Bogdan! You can simply download the theme again from your downloads folder to get the latest release :)

Cheers

Uploaded the new version just before and came up with a few strange errors. Reverted back to the 3.15 (I think) and those errors are not showing… Are there known issues atm?

That’s good to hear Dan!

Yes, there’s now an option in 4.0 to define a custom excerpt that will be shown instead of the date on the main portfolio page :)

It’s ok I found how to do this :)

How do I fill in the “Button” below the caption on the home slider with color…not nectar slider. It is kind of difficult to read when its transparent on a white background.

I tried adding this to the custom css:

.swiper-container .slider-prev, .swiper-container .slider-next { background-color: red!important ; }

But nothing happened even after clearing my cache.

Hey Pat, Sorry forgot to use pre tags so my css didn’t show up – I meant to write this:

#featured article .post-title a {
 background-color: red!important; 
}

Perfect ! Thanks worked like a charm :)

Great to hear!

Cheers :)

Hi! Where can I get an updated theme? Do I need to purchase it again?

Hey lineshapes! No, you can actually just download it from your downloads folder :)

Cheers!

Hi, I really like your theme. However I noticed that your theme is very RAM consuming, 120 to even over 200 MB on an open tab on a PC using Chrome. I’ve disabled smooth scrolling option, which helped a bit, but still the site uses a lot of RAM. Will you look into this problem in one of your next updates?

Best regards,

Hey tomekwinter!

The theme will be more demanding depending on your page setups – i.e. the use of more animated objects that require scroll events such as animated columns/images/milestones/parallax section etc will add to the load. If your goal is to lighten up the theme, disabling the smooth scrolling option was a good move as that’s one of most demanding effects. Each of the other items has actually been coded with performance in mind, but i’ve noted to review everything & see if there’s anyway to tune it up further :)

Cheers

Hey, would it be possible to integrate a vimeo video in the home or nectar slider that (or its player) stretches to the dimensions of the full slide and maybe even shows the vimeo play button and buffer size etc… when I integrate a vimeo video it looks a bit “lost” at the moment…

best regards! Nadia

Hey Nadia!

It wouldn’t be possible to make it span the full width inside of a Nectar/Home slider without some custom css/development. However if you can chare your URL where you’ve attempted this I’d be glad to point you in the right direction :)

Cheers

Hey everyone, it’s finally time for the unveiling! :)

Salient v4.0 Frostwave is here.

This release is arguably the largest Salient has ever seen since the beginning and I’m really happy to finally share it with you after developing it for so long.

I’m going to post a full changelog with all the additions/fixes when I wake up but for now please just explore around the new demo to see everything in action :)

The update has been submitted to ThemeForest and is currently pending approval – thanks so much to all of you who waited patiently for me to wrap this up on here & the forums – you rock! I’ll be back in full swing answering all of your questions after some sleep (pulled another all nighter to get this out!)

Cheers & enjoy!

Great theme! A few things: On android, my portfolio page never loads. ( Galaxy Note 3 ) http://www.cartoonmonkey.com/site/

I’m guessing because it’s a page full of large-ish animated gifs?

I’m uploading videos, animated gifs, and illustrations to my business animation site. Animated .gifs of a certain dimension show up frozen, smaller ones play, when I post them using the “featured image” option in the new portfolio item. Am I doing that correctly for an animated gif?

Ultimately, I’d like paused stills on the main page, and then the animated .gif plays in the lightbox window when a user clicks on them.

Also, any way to get the html5 video I’ve uploaded to start playing automatically in the player? I couldn’t find any of these answers doing a search..

Thanks! C

Thanks. I’ll try that. Hey! I just literally purchased yesterday! Can I upgrade to 4.0?

Whoops.. nevermind. Updating via the plugin. :-D Cheers, and thank you for the amazing work!

Hey cartoonmonkeystudio! Just to point out you can always download the latest release from your downloads folder on ThemeForest as well :)

Cheers!

Please check my reply on pg 249

Hello, i have a problem with the portfolio from page builder viewed in Google Chrome. On the largest viewport it shows only 2 of the 3 columns. other browsers work fine.

http://www.cultuurpuntaalsmeer.nl/final/lessen-en-cursussen-jeugd/

any suggestion?

Hey woerdhvd!

Try entering this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
 
body .portfolio-items .col.span_4 {
   width: 30.90%;
}

Thanks, working again!

Great to hear!

How can I make the header transparent and also have the background image fill 100% hight and 100% width. I just want a simple background image that fills up the full screen, the menu on top and the footer at the bottom.

http://racingconversations.com

I sort of did it with a number of CSS entries (sorry really have very limited knowledge – but now the background is always 2px to high causing a scrollbar to appear

footer-outer #copyright {

position: fixed!important; bottom: 0!important; left: 0!important; width: 100%!important; background-color: transparent!important; background: transparent!important; box-shadow: none!important; }

header-space {

background-color: transparent!important; background: transparent!important; height: 0px!important; }

search-outer {

background-color: transparent!important; }

header-outer {

background-color: transparent!important; box-shadow: 0 0 0px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0)!important; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0)!important; }

.page-header-no-bg { background-color: transparent!important; background: transparent!important; height: 0px!important; border-bottom: 0px!important; }

search-outer #search input[type=”text”] {

font-size: 12px!Important; }

search-results .result span.bottom-line, .masonry-blog-item span.bottom-line, article.post .post-meta {

display: none!important; }

.row .col.section-title { border-bottom: 0px!important; }

footer-outer #copyright, body {

background-color: transparent!important; }

.wpb_wrapper { margin-top: -116px!important; }

Hey muthm! Thanks for posting your own css solution but this is actually an option in 4.0 :)

Cheers

Hi i love this theme, just have a question if i buy the latest visual composer plugin is there a way to remove the one you have on you theme?i don’t know if is the same latest version or if i install both i don’t create a conflict in both editors?

Hey meikatun! You would indeed need to remove the Salient version which could be done by deleting the function call in the functions.php file of the theme – however keep in mind that if do opt to use the raw VC you’ll lose all of Salients building blocks.

Cheers :)

Hi Nectar,

is there a way to put a stroke or an outline on the heading text in a nectar slider? Sometimes the white text gets lost in the picture. You gave me the code for a box outline but that didn’t look as streamlined as I’d hoped. I think adding a 1 or 2 pixel black stroke to the heading text would work.

Thanks, Tony

Hey Tony, there’s no css option to stroke text – you could use a modified text shadow which has no blur radius so it would be a flat looking shadow but still it would need to be offset in one direction by a given amount instead of wrapping all edges of the text as a stroke would.

Cheers

hello, how do I change the image that appears when I shared the material portifolio on facebook?

I would like to put a different image for each material portifolio to the image that I set when shared, appear.

Please can you help me?

thank you

Hello thanks for listening, unfortunately it did not work, I had installed before the Yost, and placed the image, but does not work .. for Priterest also not. I have tried to put image on Custom Thumbnail Image, the image feat, taking video, put video in any way, I can image that appears related to the work that I want to publish. What should I do, I’ve lost the opportunity to launch work on facebook, should be a simple thing to be done, no?

Thank you.

thanks for the support, you’re done. Congratulations for the work, is a great theme.

You’re welcome!

Also for future reference you can use the Facebook debugger tool to check if there are any issues with the open graph tags on a page.

Cheers :)

Must be really close to the update time now bud? Looking forward to this…

Rich

Hello Guys,

I am having a great time with the theme, but started to have some issues regarding bandwidth. I guess that my OpenSans font files are consuming lots of bandwidth.

Is there a way I can hotlink those files from Google? (I am only using OpenSans throughout the whole theme).

Thank you in advance

Best regards

Breno

In that case I would need to log in to take care of the mod for you – would be kindly open a ticket in regards at http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ with your credentials and let me know your ticket #?

Cheers :)

Hi there, my ticket number is #194098. Thank you once again

Thanks! I’ll be with you as soon as I can :)

Hey, how can I put a text (“search”) in the left side of the Search Icon?

Cheers.

Hey DakkoN! This would involve opening the header.php file, finding this:
 
<li id="search-btn"><div><a href=""><span class="icon-salient-search" aria-hidden="true" /></a></div>
and changing it to:
 
<li id="search-btn"><div><a href="">Search <span class="icon-salient-search" aria-hidden="true" /></a></div>
Cheers :)

Its work but make my website ugly. How can I put it on with the same menu text styles?

If you can share your URL with it active I can assist further :)

Is there a way to add a buttom to downlaod the insctructions manual of each product in the woocommerce product page?

Hey alexandrestreit! This question would be better suited for the WooCommerce forums since it’s pertaining specifically to the functionality of the plugin rather than Salient itself.

Cheers :)

Hi, i have problem with video on portfolio page. When i go to portfolio/add new page and add video trough Video settings tab, video wont display. I added this in .htaccess AddType video/mp4 mp4 AddType video/mp4 m4v AddType video/ogg ogv AddType video/webm webm AddType video/webm webmv and provide both mp4 and ogv file. Here is the link with no working video. http://wp.kosticfilms.com/?page_id=613 Thank you, milena ps i opend ticket too but i think here i get quicker answer. Ticket: #187178

Hey again!

1. The Vimeo solution might be the way to go since the alternative would require some custom development

2. Yes, that’s correct! Here’s an example you can paste into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:

 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yarB1NCyqfs" class="pp">Link</a>

Cheers :)

Hi ThemeNectar, i add class=”pp” it looks like this Autumn Leaf Landscape Design but this is what comes up in pop up “Image cannot be loaded. Make sure the path is correct and image exist” but the path to the movie is correct Thank you, kosticfilms

If you’re linking to a movie you need to also add ”?iframe=true” onto the url like this:

 <a href="http://themeforest.net/?iframe=true" class="pp">Link</a>

Cheers :)

Hi ThemeNectar,

I’m having problems with the Page Header Image.

On a ‘small screen’ browser the Page Header Image jumps to a width for the image of 980 pixels on a bigger screen however the image jumps to a width of 1200 pixels. When I use an image of 980×320 pixels on a bigger screen the image is scaled to 1200×320 and cuts off the bottom part of the image because the image that should actually be 1200×392 pixels. When scaling the image is stretched and looses quality.

Wouldn’t it be a good idea for users to add two images and set two Page Header Heights? So that the browser uses the bigger version of the image when the browser jumps to a width of 1200 pixels? Or maybe there’s another solution for this issue.

Also on an iPad or mobile this image is scaled. So maybe even more versions would be good to obtain the best resolution per device.

You can see my problem on: http://www.energie-deal.nl/c1000.
I made an image with a bottom part that can be cut-off without affecting the message in the image, but this solution is not optimal.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers, Henry

Hey Henry,

The page header was not meant to scale down 100% proportionally since it’s intended to have a title/subtitle that would need varying amounts of height – since you’ve skipped those fields and added the text directly into the image it’s an issue though. However – 4.0 included a new option for the Nectar Slider called “flexible height” which will do exactly what you need so I would recommend updating and using that for any instance like this :)

Cheers
