Hello there, nice theme, i’m gonna have a lot of fun with it! I’m doing a website in french and ponctuation isn’t properly displaying. I know it is font version issue, do u have a quick fix for that? Thanks for your great worki Jay

Thanks Jay!

What font do you currently have selected? If you’re using the default fonts (i.e. have your “Use Custom Fonts” off) – you just need to check the box for “Load Ext. Characters in Default Font” in the typograhy options tab :)

Cheers

Hi gang,

Firstly, I love your theme. It’s been the simple to learn, use and ultra reliable.

However, I’ve just updated from Version: 2.6.5 to Version: 4.0.3 and it’s causing a massive line of code on line 65?.

It states: Unexpected CSS Token: ! important. To see the source code, the URL is: www.biztrain.com.au

When I say massive, it’s about 12 times larger than the sample block, below:

<style type="text/css"> body a{color:#28c4d6;}header#top nav ul li a:hover,header#top nav .sf-menu li.sfHover > a,header#top nav .sf-menu li.current-menu-item > a,header#top nav .sf-menu li.current_page_item > a .sf-sub-indicator i,header#top nav .sf-menu li.current_page_ancestor > a .sf-sub-indicator i,header#top nav ul li a:hover,header#top nav .sf-menu li.sfHover > a,header#top nav .sf-menu li.current_page_ancestor > a,header#top nav .sf-menu li.current-menu-ancestor > a,header#top nav .sf-menu li.current_page_item > a,body header#top nav .sf-menu li.current_page_item > a .sf-sub-indicator [class^="icon-"],header#top nav .sf-menu li.current_page_ancestor > a .sf-sub-indicator [class^="icon-"],header#top nav .sf-menu li.current-menu-ancestor > a,header#top nav .sf-menu li.current_page_item > a,.sf-menu li ul li.sfHover > a .sf-sub-indicator [class^="icon-"],ul.sf-menu > li > a:hover > .sf-sub-indicator i,ul.sf-menu > li > a:active > .sf-sub-indicator i,ul.sf-menu > li.sfHover > a > .sf-sub-indicator i,.sf-menu ul li.current_page_item > a,.sf-menu ul li.current-menu-ancestor > a,.sf-menu ul li.current_page_ancestor > a,.sf-menu ul a:focus,.sf-menu ul a:hover,.sf-menu ul a:active,.sf-menu ul li:hover > a,.sf-menu ul li.sfHover

Hoping you can please assist.

Many thanks, Russ :-)

Hey Russ!

Is there a specific thing you can do to make the crash occur? I tried to replicate on Mac (using v7) & PC (using v5.1.7) and couldn’t cause a crash so far. Do you also experience this behavior or the live demo?

Cheers!

Hey, thanks for responding. You wouldn’t believe it, it’s not throwing errors today! I’ve tried several times today, but it’s all good, which is a terrific thing :-)

When it was throwing out errors, it would just happen. Nothing in particular forced a crash. The demo was fine, so perhaps it was a server issue. Maybe my host was doing some end of month work perhaps? I’m not really sure.

I know you’re busy, so I’ll touch base again if it happens again, otherwise I’ll leave you the heck alone. MANY THANKS for your assistance though, you’re an outstanding company!

Kind regards, Russ :-)

Thanks a lot Russ! That’s great news – hopefully things remain stable on your end :)

Cheers!

OK, its a weird one… Using the visual Composer when I edit a component with text, ie a Text Block, it is white text on a white background. To edit things I’m now using the Text tab,,, What did I screw up… I’ve been looking for a while…

Thanks for your help.

Hey Steve! This was an issue that WP 3.9 caused that was resolved in Salient 4.0.3 – just update to get the fix :)

Hello, Thanks for help all the time! Can we download the demo version, instead of default version? II saw a website in progress which has exactly same structure and all function as demo. I feel like he/she started the site from the demo version.

This time, I’m trying to set up Portfolio > Portfolio Column > Portfolio Style Three, but cannot find instruction in either PDF, or Youtube video. Need Help!

(I feel guilty asking and bother you all the time. That’s why if there is the demo version I can download so I can see the set up for each function.)

Hey cormane!

There’s two sets of dummy data for you to import included with the theme which include the entire live demo’s – There’s also a tutorial showing how to import, have you checked that out?

Cheers :)

Oh….You are awesome! you save my life :) Thank you Thank you Thank you!

You’re very welcome :)

hi, how do you achieve the Frostwave example homepage settings please?

1) how do you make the header transparent but also show the logo? 2) how do you make the header get narrower on scrolling and turn white? 3) what is the full list of the other elements used on the Frostwave example home page in order?

Thanks

Hey JimmyFrye,

The dummy data xml & the theme options import code is included for both demos in your download from ThemeForest :)

1. Activate the “Use Transparent Header When Applicable?” option in your header options tab

2. This is the standard behavior of that option when activated – just make sure you also have the “Header Resize On Scroll” option active

3. Nectar Slider
Row with columns containing Text with icon elements
Image Gallery Element
Full width content rows contain various text/elements
Row with BG video

Here’s a tutorial covering the full width content columns :)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpJWWM4BAbo

Cheers

Hi. I really like yout theme but and the given possibilities. I have a question. Is it possible to set the header complete transparent so that it does’nt change to white (or any other color)? And is it also pssible to give a fix size to the header so that it doesn’t change to a smaller one when scrolling down?

Thank You.

Tim

Hey Tim!

Both of these items would be possible through css – if you need help just let me know and I’ll provide the snippets :)

Cheers

Hi there I am trying to work with translating the theme, is there anyway to just give a step by step explanation of how to? I am sure it could benefit a lot of the people besides myself since this is a bit more advanced than the standard stuff :)

Hey shiver1001,

There’s a bunch of tutorials out there for translating – here’s one focusing on the free translation plugin I recommend using: http://alefba.us/localize-wordpress-themes-plugins-codestyling-localization

The only thing you need to make sure of is that you renamed the files inside of wp-content/themes/salient/lang to your own language code as you have defined in wp-config.php (they come named as “default.po” and “default.mo”)

Cheers :)

Hey, Any news on the options to place a comma or a point in the milestone shortcode?

Hey lupach,

It’s possible it might make it in as an option, but for now this would still currently take custom development

Cheers

Hi, is it possible to place the header below the first page slider.. like -> http://www.webdingo.net/zoo/

thx chris

Hey Chris,

that is currently not a feature and would require some custom development.

Cheers

I’ve posted this in support but perhaps some kind soul might be able to help me here too!

I’ve successfuly created a child theme and modified some elements to match my content.

I’m struggling to override text. I want certain text on the homepage, specifically h2 and p tags, to have a particular size. I’ve tried adding a class of hometext to the text container in the nectar element textbox, then creating a rule like .hometext h2 {font-size: 40px!important;} but that didn’t work. I tried using the text editor to manually create an h2 with the class .hometext, eg

Test Title

and then in the child style.css added h2.hometext {font-size:40px!important;} but this also didn’t work. In firebug my classes are being applied, but the rules panel doesn’t show my newly created, overriding styles. I am able to override other elements in the child style.css though, for example I modified the opacity of the transparent header and made the mobile header white instead of black!

So am I missing something obvious?

Thanks,

James

Hey James! Anyway you can share your URL so I can see why the rules are not working? You can indeed modify what you’re trying to through a child theme so something else must be at play.

Cheers :)

Web developer customizing this site for a client.

I am using Contact Form 7 and would like for someone to explain the coding used on the first form on http://dev.geniusity.com/rank_salient/ that allows form fields to sit side by side AND stack when browser widow shrinks. Been struggling with this for about a week now.

Thanks

Hey resolutestudios,

When creating your form, just wrap your inputs in columns like this:

<div class="col span_4"> FORM INPUT HERE </div>
<div class="col span_4"> FORM INPUT HERE </div>
<div class="col span_4 col_last"> FORM INPUT HERE </div>

Cheers :)

Really sorry for all the questions again, stupidly something has gone wrong with the inline-hr work you did earlier, please could you log back in and check it for me.

Sorry again Rich

Just did :)

Cheers

Can you target different nectar header title sizes on different slides?

I’m using this on the homepage:

.swiper-slide .content h2 { font-family: "Futura PT",'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif!important; font-weight:600 !important; font-size: 50px; text-transform:uppercase!important; letter-spacing: .1em!important; line-height: 330px!important;}

But say on the services page I want the title to be a different size? How do I go about that please

My bad – but as I mentioned, I can see the snippet applying in the code (if you inspect the h2 with any live inspector you will see it working) but the issue is that Futura PT is not loading in – how are you including that font on your site?

That’s really weird I emptied my cache here as well, style changes not applying, strangely as well the font of Futura PT is fine for me, I’m using Adobe Typekit, and have the kit embedded in the header.php file… – can you check the page ‘Our Story’ the nectar headline font should be 20px (it isn’t on mine) (checked in Safari and Chrome) – sorry

Aslo looking at the code inspector, the styles for

body .nectar-slider-wrap[data-full-width="true"] .swiper-slide .content h2 {
font-size: 102px;
text-transform: uppercase !important;
letter-spacing: 0 !important;
line-height: 1 !important;
font-weight: 600 !important; }

seem to be overwriting the styles for (e.g. apart from the font they are crossed through on the services style)

.swiper-slide.services .content h2 { font-family: "Futura PT",'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif!important; font-weight:600 !important; font-size: 20px; text-transform:uppercase!important; letter-spacing: .1em!important; line-height: 330px!important;}

How would I go about adding a small images over the top of a nectar slider, like this: http://focuslabllc.com/services you will see in the header in the centre there is a vertical line with a dot on the top (this is an image) I would like to do something similar :-)

Rich

lol that’s ok bud I should have spotted that myself, world almost perfect although it’s not quite central seems to be just aligning left a little

I have fixed the centring :-)

Just one last question re this, I want the line to be shorter than 300px but when I do this in th ecaption box with :

<img class="line" src="http://www.webteam.cornwall.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/line_ee.svg" alt="line_ee" width="10" height="200" />

The line then doesn’t sot flush with the bottom of the slide, do I need to alter the CSS at all?

.line {
    box-sizing: content-box !important;
    -webkit-box-sizing: content-box !important;
    -moz-box-sizing: content-box !important;
    margin-left: -5px !important;
    padding-left: 50% !important;
    position: absolute !important;
    text-align: center !important;
}

since it’s absolutely positioned you could try messing with the bottom property (most likely will need a negative value)

Hi,

Where can i edit my posts layout? I want to be able to build the posts the same way as a page,

http://www.republicofmusic.com/out-now-ema-futures-void/

Id like to remove the sidebar and feature image from all posts,

best,

Add this in as well

.single-post, .single.single-post .section-title h1,  .single-post p {
  color: #fff!important;
}
.single #single-meta ul li:first-child {
  display: none!important;
}

Cheers :)

perfect! thank you very much!

You’re very welcome :)

@New_Castle I had a similar issue, my problem was not the theme, I had selected the wrong layout options in the backend, you need to select the same type of layout and then move the text or image box to where you want them.

Sorry for the wait – i’ll check on it as soon as possible :)

Not a problem at all, I have reactivated the login for you, sorry for the delay.

Hi there,

first of all: Your Theme looks fantastic!

Before buying I’d like to ask a few questions:

1st. I can’t scroll on any demo page when I use the “Live Demo”. I have to grab the handle on the right site of the browser to scroll.

2nd: Since I am in Germany I’d like to ask if the Woocommerce shop can be extended by the German language plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-de/

and also with this one here: http://marketpress.com/product/woocommerce-german-market/

Thanks in advance and cheers from Hamburg!

Thanks Kenaudio!

1. You can disable the smooth scrolling option in the theme options to sort this

2. I can’t imagine why there would be any issue using that, but if you run into any bumps just let me know :)

Cheers

Okay! Thanks a lot and cheers from Hamburg!

You’re welcome :)

I’m trying to get some bottom padding or bottom margin on the recent blog posts title, have tried adding it here:

html .home .blog-recent .span_3 .post-header h3 a { color: #fff !important; font-size:28px !important; margin-bottom: 30px!important; }

But it’s not applying, have I done something wrong?

Hey,

set it on the h3 instead of the a inside of it:

.home .blog-recent .span_3 .post-header h3, .blog-recent .span_3 .post-header h3 {
    margin-bottom: 30px!important;
}

Cheers :)

Hi Theme Nectar

How are you doing?

I have a question related to two things:

1. Fonts. Is helvetica a paid type of font, in order to use it do we need to pay for it?

2. Portfolio items on the home page. I changed the size of the portfolio item for the square one 600×600, (we have three portfolio items on a home page) through functions.php

but on some screen resolutions these portfolio items are still rectangular. How to make sure that the portfolio items are square on all screen resolutions and mobiles?

Thank you Martyna

You’re very welcome!

I’ll be with you on the forum then :)

Thank you :)

No problem!

Hi. I tried to move my site to a test-server while in testmode. I changed the SiteURL etc. correctly, but images kept loading from the old address. Why is this?

Hey again,

When you change the domain of a WordPress site there’s a few steps involved – http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress also if want to mass update all URLs in the database, here’s a good snippet http://gilbert.pellegrom.me/moving-wordpress-useful-sql-queries/
