Hi Nectar,
Is it possible for the portfolio to update thumbnails any size? I like to have two different types of portfolio pages. One with square thumbnails and one with rectangle thumbnails. But when I upload an image that’s bigger then the set size in the CSS , it will show part of that image I uploaded. I wondered if it is possible to show the full thumbnail, whatever size I Upload the thumb? Sorry, it’s a bit hard to explain.
Thanks in advance!

Hey irrimiri,
you can accomplish this by using the custom thumbnail option available for every project – this image will not get cropped so the size it up to you 
Cheers

Hey prashantmagar,
There’s no example “process” page to import, but all of the elements that are available can be found throughout the demo – so if you see any you’d like to use on your process page you would be free to mix and match the ones you need in any order.
Cheers
Great theme, I’m really enjoying setting it up.
In your demo, under the navigation labels for “Portfolio” and “Features”, you have very unique submenus. I can’t figure out how to set up such a menu using the old Appearance > Menus > Menu Structure config.
Oops I spent a bunch of time searching through these comments when I should have just RTFM. I found the answer in section 9.1… “Mega Menus”.
Thanks stevland! Glad you found the answer 
Hi, is there an easy way to add the portfolio excerpt to appear below the title on a project page such as this one http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266 I have located the code in the functions file and I tried adding this below the h1 title but it doesn’t show…
if(!empty($project_excerpt)) { echo '<p>'.$project_excerpt.'</p>'; } elseif(!empty($options['portfolio_date']) && $options['portfolio_date'] == 1) echo '<p>' . get_the_date() . '</p>';
Maybe its a bit to complicated for me to achieve!!
Hey!
You’re on the right path – just change that to this:
$project_excerpt = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_nectar_project_excerpt', true);
if(!empty($project_excerpt)) { echo '<p>'.$project_excerpt.'</p>'; } elseif(!empty($options['portfolio_date']) && $options['portfolio_date'] == 1) echo '<p>' . get_the_date() . '</p>';
Thanks, works great. You may be aware of this but if not I have noticed that when you have custom header colour set and have Header Resize On Scroll set to off the header stays transparent when you scroll down the page. Guess its an easy fix.
Hey again!
Yes, this was sorted in last nights minor release (4.0.2)
Cheers
Hi, thanks for a nice and good theme. Been working on setting it up. I have a few questions. I would like to set up portfolio like one of the examples here: http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266
it is under Portfolio > Portfolio Columns > Portfolio Style Three
I would like to have it like that since im a photographer with only one portfolio. I would like to remove date and the text on the pics and also have 4 pics per column. How do I achieve that? I have really tried myself in the Portfolio meny in wordpress-edit-mode.
Hope you can help me,
brgds,
Hoggo
ps. Forgot one thing, is it possible to make sure the thumbnails are in the same format even though some pictures are landscape and others are portraite.. ds
Hey Hoggo,
1. Enter this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel to remove the title/date:
.portfolio-items .work-item.style-3 .vert-center {
display: none!important;
}
2. If you meant to say 4 pics per row, all you need to do is check the option for “Constrain Max Columns to 4” in your portfolio element http://i.imgur.com/RsW19ic.jpg
3. As long as you’re supplying images that are at least 600×400 they will get cut appropriately if you’re using the featured image option on each project
Ok thanks for the code to remove the date/title, but I still can´t find the changes to make it look in the example I was posting to you (doesnt look like in your print screen). Please have a look at this section =)
Portfolio > Portfolio Columns > Portfolio Style Three
Just want a simple grid with thumbnail pictures where you can just click on the first one, it then enlarges and change to next pic by clicking an arrow to the right.. Very simple set up with 4 columns.
One Example but with more columns… http://www.petterjohansson.se/event/
All the best =)
Hoggo
Hey again Hoggo!
If it doesn’t look like my screenshot I would need to ideally log in to see what’s going on and why you’re missing the options added with Salient 4.0 – can you open a ticket in regards with you credentials at http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Cheers
I think we missunderstand each other and I am a complete lamer at programing as well =) This is how it looks like now: http://pagfy.se/portfolio/ (One pic that you have to click on and then you have all the other pics on the right hand side..)
All I want is a nice grid with like 4-5 columns. I have clicked on Salient > Portfolio Options and changed to 3 columns… Well well I try to open a ticket whatever that is…
If you’re only trying to use the portfolio to display a gallery and you have no use for the single project page – here’s what I’d recommend. Simply go to your portfolio edit page remove the portfolio page layout (in the page attributes box on the right hand side) and assign the default layout again. Now click on the visual composer button above your editor and add the “Image Gallery” element. Use this to choose the image grid option and add your images as needed.
This will be the route i’ll take for you if you can provide me admin access
Ok big thanks =) How should I supply the access to my site to you? Do you have an email?
It would be best to open a private ticket here in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ and then let me know your ticket number here
Ok great =) here is the ticket number… Ticket: #196676
Thanks! let me know when you’ve added the credentials
I know that is not supported natively, but would ubermenu work correctly with the transparent header?
Hey Chechin! As long as it was integrated properly into the header.php (it would require the use of a child theme)
This theme supports WPML?
Hey cesarmariel! Yes it does
Sorry me again, my call to action button, doesn’t want to change colour, I have chosen the accent colour as the option but still it persists in being blue/green, am I doing something wrong, it’s since I updated the theme?
Rich
Hey Rich! No, this is a known issue that will be sorted in todays minor release
Hey Guys, for some reason my tab sections are not working properly, when you open them up. They disappear behind the footer, had a fiddle around in the CSS but i had no success fixing it. can you impliment a fix for me by any chance? or just give me a code snip and ill chuck it in.
to see what i mean go to http://greatplainsconservation.com/2014wp/?page_id=1012 and click on one of the toggle sections and you will see what i meanPS: This is only happening in the full width content version in the visual editor. it works fine in the container section
and also, in the nectar slider. i cant select slide ordering, it just says “Choose your slider location below and simply drag your slides up or down – they will automatically be saved in that order.” and nothing shows up below? is there a reason for this?
Hey andrewlhoward,
1. Thanks for pointing this out – will have this fixed for the minor release due out in a few hours
2. Make sure you’re on 4.0.1 as this was a bug of 4.0 that was sorted in that minor release
Cheers
So, also another thing that i have realised, dont know if it is something that you would be able to fix, but when you use the Ubermenu on a fullwidth section necter slider, the width of the ubermenu goes 100% rather than a nice width of the full menu section. just letting you know? would be nice to see this implimented.
but you guys are doing an amazing job, by far the best theme i have used yet!!!
Thanks for reporting – will see if there’s anything that can be done to remedy this
Cheers!
Hi Bud, several of my mobile styles are not working (header, paragraph, button), they used too, wondering if there is a syntax error in my custom css somewhere, these are the styles in question… check out www.richpearson.co.uk in iPhone/ipad etc and you will see the headline, paragraph and button are all tiny…
@media only screen and (max-width : 690px) {
body .swiper-slide, body .swiper-wrapper, body .swiper-container {
height: 370px!important;
}
body .nectar-slider-wrap, body .parallax_slider_outer {
height: 368px!important;
}
html body .nectar-slider-wrap[data-fullscreen="false"] .swiper-slide .content h2 {
font-size: 158px !important;
}
html body .nectar-slider-wrap[data-fullscreen="false"] .swiper-slide .content p {
font-size: 2.2em !important;
}
html body .nectar-slider-wrap[data-fullscreen="false"] .swiper-slide .button a {
font-size: 4px !important;
}
.page-id-1271 .parallax_slider_outer.first-section .swiper-slide .content {
top: 129px !important;
}
}
Interestingly as well in mobile view the headline, paragraph and button are not exactly central to the screen they range slightly right, you can see this when you look at the arrow now…
Hey again!
1. Try adding [data-full-width=”true”] into the selector like this when dealing with the font sizes:
html body .nectar-slider-wrap[data-full-width="true"][data-fullscreen="false"] .swiper-slide .content h2
2. If you do a load of the page when it’s in the mobile size as opposed to loading it in desktop and dragging it smaller you shouldn’t see off-centering of the text
Awesome thanks point 1 fixed, point 2 sent you a screen in an email to show you
Hey!
Add this into your custom css box and play with the value to sort it now:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.swiper-wrapper .slider-down-arrow {
margin-left: -25px!important;
}
}
Hi bud, it’s def not the arrow that is off its the text and button above in mobile view that doesn’t sit quite correctly (see screengrab I sent to you on email) – cheeerrss
K will look into it
Hello there. Thank you for your help last time. Video slider now work properly in PC. But still have minor problems. Only in Chrome Browser loop doesn’t work. Other browsers are okay. And also Video slider doesn’t work on IPhone OS and Andorid. Cellphones are really important to us. Help me out with this problem.
Thank you very much.
Hey thomasqna, please share your URL so I can see the loop issue in Chrome. Also, the video BG’s are intentionally swapped for images on mobiles devices are covered here: http://youtu.be/FLU9Pxo_RD8?t=6m34s
Cheers
here is my url www.morpheus3d.co.kr Thank you very much:)
No problem! Could you also lend me admin access since I’m unable to replicate this locally or on the demo?
If so please shoot me an email at themenectar@gmail.com
Cheers
Hi, how can you clone/duplicate a page?
Thanks!
Hey morningowl!
The fastest way would be to switch into the classic editor view of a page and simply copy all the content to paste in your new page
Thanks!
You’re welcome
Hi, During the import I noticed the errors below: Failed to import Media “weather-app1” Failed to import Media “line” Failed to import Media “flippin-the-bird1” Could you help me, please?
Hey again,
those are just two image files – i’ll take care of it for the next release
Hi, I just bought the theme. Instead upload the dummy data do you have all the dummy data documented how to create each feature?
Hey maurinoloureiro,
the tutorials on youtube cover most of the features and there’s more on the way for 4.0 https://www.youtube.com/user/ThemeNectar
Cheers
Hey Phectar,
It seems I can’t get any of the new features to work in these last 2 updates. In particular Portfolio Style 4. I’m in the Salient Menu under the Portfolio section. I chose “Title overlaid w/ zoom effect on hover” with a 3 column Main Layout and it doesn’t change. Even changing it to a 4 column doesn’t stick and keeps the 3 column.. ..
I know you’ve helped me in the past in customizing some CSS in my portfolio so I’m wondering if that’s over-riding some of the new features?
I also like the new animated button feature with the arrow fade in and can’t find that either and how to use the transparent header feature. All of these are hidden from view. I emailed you my log in info in case you needed it.
Thank in advance,
-CS
Hey CS,
1. You’re using the portfolio page builder element not portfolio page template so you need to manage your portfolio options on that instance itself. Edit the portfolio page and in the visual composer view click the pencil icon on the element to change settings: http://i.imgur.com/MSczvyz.jpg
2. Adding icons into buttons is a task done right in the button shortcode. You should see an option for “Font Set” as the last option in the shortcode.
3. The transparent header option is located in the Header options tab of the Salient options panel. As mentioned in the description for it, it will only activate when using a page header or nectar slider at the top
Cheers!
Thank you so much!
You’re welcome!
Hey there again,
Loving the new features in the update! Have noticed a few little weird things, but saw you’re releasing v4.0.2 soon.
As for features, just wondering if there is (or will be) a way for a full-width slider on a portfolio item to make use of the transparent header (this would also mean transparency in the portfolio item title). I see it can be done with a single image using the Page Header Image, but the slider option doesn’t respond in the same way as a page does.
Thanks, Nick.
Hey Nick!
1. Correct – 4.0.2 is on the way! If you could give me a list of the things you’ve noticed it would be helpful to make sure there all known issues. Just shoot me an email at themenectar@gmail.com if you have time
2. Currently the only way to do this would be to set the page header with BG color so the transparent header would activate and have the slider below like this: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/portfolio/geowolf-social/ Because the Nectar Slider offers the option for text, it would be harder to allow the option to overlay the text on top but i’ll see if there’s anyway to give a workaround
Cheers
I know my way around wordpress pretty well. but for some reason I can not get the new transparent header to work. Is there a trick to it? There isn’t anything in the documentation about it.
i figured it out thanks love the upgrades.
Hey paycom, glad to hear!
Cheers
Did you noticed that there’s a new theme called “Bridge” that is a complete “duplicate” (at least from the front-end) of your theme?
One thing I did like about it is the AJAX animated transitions between pages… Do you have any plans for this kind of feature as well?
Hey omriamos!
1. Yeah another buyer pointed that out to me as well – glad to see some people noticing.
2. It’s possible if enough requests come in
Cheers
Hi there, could you maybe point me to the which places I need to modify when I want to add a 6th column in the portfolio overview on big screens? It’s so nice responsive and all, so I don’t wanna overlook areas I should take care of
thanks in advance!
Hey pyramus99!
It would require an additional media query at the bottom of the responsive.css file to set the correct percent on the portfolio items to change it into 6 cols and then an additional conditional in the init.js file to query for that screen size and set the column number. The JS mod would take place in the “reLayout” function also near the bottom
THANKS so much for the direction, will try to make that happen and let you know
add_image_size( 'blog-widget', 50, 50, true ); add_image_size( 'portfolio-thumb', 600, 403, true ); add_image_size( 'portfolio-widget', 100, 100, true );
Just hate to have to edit your original code and miss out on updates!
Thanks for the suggestion – if nothing else I’ll try to make it easily over writable via the child theme
great! that would make someone happy for sure
Cheers
Hey I just noticed the portfolio items in the “recent work” slider don’t ‘listen’ to a change of the thumbnail sizes. I now overwrote this with a hardcoded width for the body .portfolio-items .work-item selector, but of course this solution isn’t particularly wonderful.
Any tips? Or maybe a suggestion for a future update?
Hey!
If you check out the shortcode-processing.php file you’ll see the images are still using the “portfolio-thumb” size so it should work – anyway you could share the URL to that page so I can see what size it’s getting served at?
Working locally ATM. Will make a ticket for this when I deploy to staging…
Sounds good
Hey about this issue: I think you might have misunderstood me – the problem wasn’t with the size of the actual images, but the button container: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uriwkklwnvw004e/Screenshot%202014-04-29%2015.35.12.png
See my CSS selector above for the specific object I’m talking about
Hey again,
the work item div should simply inherit the parent li.col width – which is set to be a percent based on how many columns are shown. It looks like your images may just be too small to reach the edge but if you added something like:
.row .col img {
max-width: none!important;
}
it might allow the upscaling anyway
Hey there, thanks for your reply. actually, the images are the correct size – that isn’t (and never was) a problem.
The DIV (.work-item) around it that does the hover is acting funny. I solved it by assigning a static width (the same as my ‘portfolio-thumb’ size) to the body .portfolio-items .work-item. but of course, this is not really an elegant solution.
Any better ideas?
Are you at the point where you can share a URL? I will be able to help a lot more when I can see it all live
Hey there, I just pushed it to a staging server. URL is in your mail!
Note: the hover tiles in recent work carousel on front page will look fine, because I overwrote the width of .work-item. Please disable that if you wanna see how it looks by default.
Hey – as I was mentioning earlier, the issue is indeed that your images are not big enough to fill the columns. If you can’t provide images a little wider – please remove your custom css setting the width and use this to see how it should look:
.portfolio-items .col img {
width: 100%!important;
max-width: none!important;
}
I’m actually uploading thumbnails at 500×500 resolution, but wanna use 350 max in the main portfolio. Is the size of thumbnails in this carousel separately defined? Otherwise, I guess this kind of comes back to my earlier question about “pluggable” functions for the images sizes: any update on that?
The size of the carousel is set in the init.js file – currently it’s set to 500px, but if you change that to a smaller number the column number should change (it’s already dynamic based on screen width but it seems you need one more column for desktop view to make your images fit).
Open up the init.js and change this line:
var colWidth = ($(this).parents('.carousel-wrap').attr('data-full-width') == 'true') ? 500 : 353 ;
Just play with the 500 to make adjustments.
Cheers
all right, that’s a great tip
thanks for now and please keep me posted about the pluggable / over-writable image size functions!
also, i’m sad to report this tip didn’t have any result… but it’s okay. please keep me posted about the pluggable / over-writable image size functions!
Will do
Hi any update on this with your recent updates?
Hey again – sorry this wasn’t added into a child theme overwritable function in the last update, but I’ve noted to do so in the next minor release
thanks a lot in advance. please also see my other comment on the lightbox issue – i noticed you didn’t reply yet, so I guess you’ve missed that one: http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/4363266/comments?page=314&filter=all#comment_6758341
