Hi Theme Nectar
Hi and how are you doing? Our site is nearly ready.
I have three questions:
1. On the homepage we have three portfolio items, and each is linked to a specific product page. http://www.mmevelo.com when I hoover over the portfolio item, darken cover appears with a light title of the portfolio on in the middle of the item. How to have more text on the portfolio image when I hoover over it? Like on this page http://functionals.eu/ here you see three square portfolio items, with text, price, item title, and read more.Also, I am trying to make those three portoflio items on the home page to be squares, right now they are rectangles, nearly squares, but not completely. How to make them squares?
2. For one of the pages of the site, the about page, I need a smaller font, like H7. What should I do to be able to include h7 fonts?
3. the product page. How to make the main product image appear bigger? I changed the main image size in the woocommerce options, into as big as1000×1050, but it did not change the size of the image of the product on the product page. http://www.mmevelo.com/produkt/plecak-rowerowy-mmevelo-sunshine/
Thank you for your help 
best wishes
Your theme is awesomeness M.
Hey New_Castle!
1. Currently there’s only an option to add some additional text by using the “Project Excerpt” option in your project configuration box (added in v.4). Adding additional items other than that would require some custom development. Also if you wish for your images to display in a custom size you could alter the image size in the functions.php at
add_image_size( 'portfolio-thumb', 600, 403, true );and then regenerate your thumbnails http://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/
2. h7 doesn’t exist but you could create a class such as “small-text” and then add that your desired text through the text tab on your editor.
<span class="small-text">Here's some small text!</span>
and then add this into the custom css box in your salient options panel:
.small-text {
font-size: 10px!important;
}
3. You’ll need to change the size of the column on the left and the product image column. Since you have the left column showing at 50% the biggest you can have the image is 50%:
.single-product-main-image {
width: 50%!important;
margin: 0!important;
}
Cheers
Dear Theme Nectar
Thank you for your help.
I changed the size of the image column with success. Can you tell me one more thing: How to move the image a little bit higher than it is now? So that the main image on the product page is higher, now it looks like there is this margin from the top. http://www.mmevelo.com/produkt/torba-damska/I have not created the class for the small text yet, But I will start on Thursday.
Fot the Poertfolio image, I have a question. I changed the size of the image to a square one with success, but the functions.php file is in the main theme, not in the child theme. So I am afraid, that if I update the theme to the new version, it will override the changed settings. I have created the child theme, should I just copy the file functions.php and just copy it to the child theme folder on the server?
Thank you
Best wishes

Hey again!
1. The top of the image is actually aligned with the heading text, it seems the image you’ve uploaded just had a good amount of blank space at the top/bottom: http://www.mmevelo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/tur-wiek.png
2. That will actually cause a lot of problems, the child functions.php should only add to the parent functions.php – if you make it an entire duplicate file it’ll probably just break the site. For now it would be best to keep track of that specific mod for updates to reapply since it’s just one line to change.
Cheers
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Is there a way to have the global / top navigation link to a section of the same page? Said another way, can the global navigation make the page scroll down via anchors / anchor tags?
I’m wondering if this template can support a single page scrolling site.
Hey atplay2,
yes through the use of this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/page-scroll-to-id/
Cheers
You guys rock.
Aww… I might be reading things wrong, but I think the use of the plug-in is beyond my capabilities. :/
Here’s a little guide on using it – it’s really not so bad!
You just need to add anchor links from your menu items. So for example, ”#about” could be entered into a link: http://i.imgur.com/XUvsNXj.png and then it would correlate with the section on your page where you have:
<div id="about"> </div>
(which gets added through the text tab of course).
Finally, in the plugin settings there’s an input that says “selectors”. Add this inside of it:
a[href*='#']
This might be too complicated for me. I’m “just” the Creative Director.
Or maybe I just need to sleep for a second.
Let me know if the sleep helped
Haha. It didn’t help. I gave up. :/
Sorry to hear! If you need this implemented for you I’m sure it could be done very quickly and for little money at envato studio
Cheers
That might be a viable option! Hehe. I didn’t even know there was an “envato studio”!
Yes, it used to be called microlancer – but it’s been around almost a year now
I reviewed that plugin and it’s instructions. The installation and application above my understanding. That said, I may be out of luck. Are their plans to add such a feature as an option to this template in the future?
Also, do you have another theme that is a single scrolling page that is based off of the same CMS structure? I’m starting to realize that I may not have enough content to for multiple pages.
Unfortunately Salient is the only theme so far, but integrating single page scrolling further is on the wishlist
Do you work by yourself, or do you have a team of people?
Hey cptnyr! All the development/designing is done by me but I just recently hired a helping hand for the support forum
Cheers
Well you are a star, 14,000 sales X 55$ that’s nuts!!!
Thanks, a lot of on going hard work goes into Salient
Cheers
Hey there, I just bought your Theme and I am really happy with it. I got just one Problem at the moment, I setup a Portfolio with different Categories as well as a Portfolio only showing behind the scenes pictures it should simply function as a gallery and not show up in my regular portfolio. When I move from one single Portfoloio Item to the next I do get a single Page from the behind the scenes section as well. Its probably due to the common /portfolio both categories share even though in the Portfolio Overwiew it does not appear.
Is this going to be part of a new Update anytime soon / Multliple portfolios
Thx in advance
Hey cubefruits!
You can actually use the new styles in the image gallery element to create a gallery that looks like a portfolio with lightbox only. You can then remove the lightbox only items from the main portfolio post type thus solving the issue
Cheers
Thx for the quick reply. I was trying to find a way to get the portfolio Full width masonary look with just a light box for the behind the scenes section. Even though I unchecked for this category the detail page feature it would still create one. I didnt find how to achieve that look with just the gallery element, so I am stuck solving it that way. Propably my bad. Still an amazing theme and great support.
Thank you
Hey again!
Unfortunately the one aspect of the portfolio styles that’s not in the gallery element is the masonry one. This is because the images in the gallery element have no way for each image to get a defined masonry size like in the portfolio. If you still use the masonry lightbox only unfortunately they will indeed show with the next/prev button for other portfolios not using that option. Would you be interested in hiding the next/prev buttons on the single page?
Hey there!
thanks for your offer I appreciate it. This would solve the problem, so what do I need to do. Is this going to be restrictive for updating the Theme in the future.
Thanky you very much
Hey!
No not at all – it can be accomplished with css so it will persist through updates. Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
#portfolio-nav ul.controls {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
Cheers. Thank you for the great support. I ll set it up like that.
You’re welcome!
Hey thanks again for the insane theme and great support. I have one other question.
I have a two column set up with an image on the left and text on the right like this:
http://surfschoolcostarica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Screen-Shot-2014-04-03-at-2.21.15-PM.pngand it looks like this on the front end:
http://surfschoolcostarica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Screen-Shot-2014-04-03-at-2.25.38-PM.pngBut I would like the photo to fit half of the banner kinda like this:
http://surfschoolcostarica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Screen-Shot-2014-04-03-at-2.27.26-PM.pngbut more like 50-50 then 40-60
I am sure you can do it wit the custom css and or class names just not sure how to do it.
Thanks again for all your help!
Pat
Hey Pat!
Assuming you’re on 4.0 – set the row to a full width content type, add some padding on the column with text on the right (try around 5%) and then set the left column to use that image as a background image instead of placing an actually image element inside of the column.
Cheers!
can I do it in 3.15 if not how can I update it easily without messing up all my posts, images, pages , ect.
ugggh I have gotten real close to what I want but its still not there yet:
I made the row to be “Full Width content” and left the image in the second column. It actually slides in and covers about 50% of the banner which is perfect BUT….it still has about 30 px at the bottom showing green and the content for some reason is too close to the right side making it hard to read.
as you can see here:
http://surfschoolcostarica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Screen-Shot-2014-04-04-at-1.16.24-PM.pngWhen I tried your suggested instructions the content stopped coming up for some reason…maybe because I am using 3.15?
Anyways I am going to send you the login credentials via email to themenectar@gmail.com. If you could configure this for me I would be greatly appreciated
Still LOVE YOUR THEME
Seems that “full width background” is the best option for text alignment. With “full width content” I had responsive issues with content over lapping the background. Awaiting your most appreciated suggestions.
Pat
Yeah all of the full width content options and new rules in place to make things like this work were added in 4.0 – I would highly suggest updating to the most current version for layouts like this
As long as you haven’t edited any core code in your 3.15 updating will be a breeze. You just need to download the latest version, delete the current one you have and upload the new.
Cheers!
@CSMURPHY
Hey there, Had a similar problem a few weeks back, was editing a file (can’t remember which one) and my whole site went white. After the initial panic subsided I replaced the edited file with the original on my server and everything was fine. Not sure of the whats or the whys but perhaps something you could try. Hope it helps.
Good luck
Hey goforstu, thanks for trying to assist CSMurphy!
Hi!
How to I change my Heading 1 to a lager font?
Thanks,
SDL
Hey SDL!
There’s typography options in the theme options panel for all the headings
Cheers
Hi!
I tried that and It couldn’t get it to work. I want to change the H1 and H2 sizes when I’m editing a text block. Is there away to do that?
Thanks,
SDL
The options I mentioned should definitely affect those but if they’re not for whatever reason and you wanna use css enter this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
body h1 {
font-size: 60px!important;
}
body h2 {
font-size: 45px!important;
}
Cheers
Has anyone had the same experience trying to update their header.php file only to have your site disappear?
I have nothing but a white screen now after dragging the file into the child theme 
I have no clue what’s going on and could use some help.
Thanks!
-CS
I don’t have the original header.php file either :/
Hey CS – got back via email earlier. We can continue this through there
Cheers!
Awsome update! A quick question: is it possible to add navigation while using one page website? As in, navigate to specific ‘sections’ ?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks IVSIVRIS!
Yes – you would need to use this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/page-scroll-to-id/
Cheers
Im trying to upload salient.zip from upload button, on wordpress add theme, but when hits 100% the sistem ask me to try again. Why is this happening?
Hey fredpassos82, have you tried to upload via FTP to bypass whatever issue is occuring with your setup on the dashboard upload? If so remember to unzip the salient.zip and upload just the raw salient folder inside to the wp-content/themes directory on your server
This issue may be related to slide ordering… Nektar Slides/All Slides – only list ordering is working, excerpt mode is not working. If I’m guessing correctly Excerpt mode would allow us to access most key slide properties without the need to zoom into each slide.
Patiently awaiting next update. Thanks again for all your hard work!
Hey Steve! That is actually unrelated to the ordering bug (which has now been sorted). All that mode does is show the excerpt is applicable but since I’m already showing the description it doesn’t apply. Thanks for pointing this out though – surprisingly you’re the first to notice!
Your team members shown on http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/about/about-me-extended/ have a different font and color for their name. Using the VC, it puts the name in a dark grey and I’m unable to change it. How can I make it look more like what’s on the demo page?
Hey stryker09! Make sure you’ve select “light” for the rows text color option. I’ve noted to force the correct color manually on the team element in the next update.
Cheers
@gjndesign
Yes you can, under the portfolio section you can define an external link instead so that portfolio images can link outside the site.
Thanks for answering gjndesign, Rkeefover!
Hello
It’s been a while since I took a look a this theme as I adored it when it was first released, but there was a feature missing that I really needed for my site. I’ve just taken another look and the updates seem to have taken a beautiful theme into the powerhouse league! I really admire how you have spent the time to update and refine this flagship theme, rather than keep pumping out new themes every few months.
Regarding that missing feature: I’ve had a look through the changelog but haven’t seen it mentioned, and a quick search of these comments suggests it would be a greatly used feature…
Is it now possible to define custom links for portfolio items? For example, when I click on a portfolio thumbnail I can define the page that it links to?
I’m really hopping the answer is now yes. Please say its so!
Hey gjndesign!
Yes, this was added in a few versions ago You can see an example of this in action on the demo by clicking the first project: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/portfolio-fullwidth-style-2/
Cheers
That’s brilliant news! Thanks so much! Just to clarify, am I able to specify an internal link (to another page of my site), as well as an external link (to Vimeo for example)?
@Rkeefover – thanks for taking the time to reply too!
Yes, it’s up to you if you want the link to be internal or external
Cheers!
Hello, while I have some experience with building websites in Dreamweaver and HTML, I am just recently working in WordPress (helping edit my churches website and had them purchase this theme). For some reason the nice parallax effect that the Nectar slider should have is not working, and the text is not fading with the scroll action, but rather looks static on the slide. I did not set a custom CSS option to make it static though. I did notice in the options that it says the parallax effect only works if the slider is the top level element on the page. How do I ensure that this is the case? I have it first in the code, however as you can see the parallax and text fading isn’t working so I assume it may not be the first element? Here is the preview: http://www.audacitychurch.tv
Thank you for your time : )
Hey Rkeefover!
Checking your link I can actually see that it’s functioning normally like the demo – what browser are you experiencing this issue on so I can make sure to check on that for you?
Cheers
It is static just in Safari, when I tested in Chrome everything worked correctly. Probably just a Safari issue. I won’t worry about it too much, still looks nice and works correctly in chrome.
I do have another question if it is not too much trouble? I can’t find how to assign different portfolio locations, like you can with the nectar slider to have multiple different nectar sliders.
On your demo, the actual portfolio page uses one set of images, but then on your home page, you use images with the portfolio grid set up that use the zoom function and then act as a gallery when clicked. How did you use different images for those portfolio images than you did for the ones in your portfolio example page?
Thanks for your time! You guys are great and very responsive.
Hey again!
When adding a portfolio element from the page builder/shortcode generator you’ll see options for selecting what categories should display in addition to what layout they will use: http://i.imgur.com/ei2R1d1.jpg

Is there a way to password protect the portfolio section of the site? and all the images?
Hey luxerman,
the default WordPress password protect should work on any page using the portfolio element/page layout. You can toggle this by clicking “edit” on the visibility option in the Publish meta box on your page
Hi Theme Nectar,
This is pretty urgent. I tested a bit today with the import export of the settings. Exporting works fine but the importing does not do the trick. Now I can’t re-upload my own settings.
Can you please check yourself and let me know?
Thanks, Marc
Hey Marc,
From my tests there’s no known issue with importing – a bunch of upgrading users have also imported the included theme options for the new demo. What happens when you try to import?
Cheers
Nothing .. it seems to go well but when I export the settings data, to check if everything went fine, I see that the old settings are not replaced.
I manually replaced all settings now so I don’t want to test if things work now
By the way I have quite some CSS added to the general settings so maybe this is the problem? I can send you my settings file …
Sure – shoot me en email with it at themenectar@gmail.com so I can test importing it
Without a doubt the best theme i have used, however i have a question, i would like to display the username and password login box in the 2nd menu at top of page (where the social icons go) when a user is not logged in, and change to account info when the user logs in, is this possible?
Thanks
Thanks AvalonCreative!
That would require the use of a plugin or some custom development. Give this plugin a try as it sounds pretty close to what you’re looking for: https://wordpress.org/plugins/baw-login-logout-menu/installation/
Cheers
Thanks for the speedy reply, after some playing with the theme i notice im having quite a few issues with it:
1: nectar slider is not showing on the page, just shows a white space, ive had to switch to layerslider.
2: alot of the elements in the visual composer are not working for me for example: the full width rows with background colour are not working and also adding the single image to a page with a css transition, the transition stays at opacity: 0; ive had to edit the css for an image to display
3: woocommerce, why dont we have the option to add featured products to the front page anymore or even any features for the woocommerce plugin.
4: theme update, im running 4.0 but i see the latest is 4.01 but i cant see where to update?
Thanks again and i will check out that plugin
Hey again!
1-3: None of those are known issues – anyway you could allow me to see your URL that shows some of these occurring so I can see what’s up?
4. You can update by downloading a fresh copy from ThemeForest, deleting the current version you have on your server and uploading the new. I recommend using FTP, but you can use the WP dashboard if you prefer. You won’t lose any of your content or theme settings so don’t worry about that if you were
Thanks again for the speedy reply,
the url is http://www.total-guild.ru
if you navigate to the comms service page there is suppose to be a tab section but this is just blank, seems to be an issue with the whole visual composer part, this says its needs updated but wont allow me to update it but i dont know if thats the problem.
total-guild.ru is correct url sorry
Hey!
Your server is returning this as an error coming from WooCommerce which is breaking other things in return:
"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://total-guild.ru/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/assets/js/jquery-cookie/jquery.cookie.min.js?ver=1.3.1"
Here’s the solution: http://docs.woothemes.com/document/jquery-cookie-fails-to-load/
thats it sorted now, thank you very much for all your help
You’re welcome!
Any news on when 4.0.1 will be available? I just downloaded theme and it is still 4.0… Awesome theme btw, one of the best!
Hey OcalaWebsiteDesigns! I submitted it early this morning but it took a while in the queue to get approved. It’s out now though
Cheers!
Hello !
What a quality job you’ve done with this template. Thank you !
I’ve got a question, how can i put a social icon more ? It’s called Viadeo. The theme doesn’t had it.
Thank you so much !
Hey adnomah!
You would just need to open the footer.php file and add a new list item into the:
<ul id="social">< which would contain your icon/image of Viadeo Cheers :)</ul>
Hi, Thanks, but It doesn’t work :-/
I did it, I change the footer.php I copy and paste the last line soundclound and replace by the word viadeo. Put the social icone whit the other and the new php file in filezilia. When I go on wordpress to Salient / Footer there’s no viadeo line appear. Does i need to do something more ? Thanks for your reply.
The other social icons are coming from a font file – if you wanted to include your own you’d need to reference the icon as an image unless you’re including it as a font file as well. What’s the path to your new icon image? If you can let me know that I can give you the correct html to write
