Hi,

I’m trying to add a row that contains an icon, then a line, then an icon then a line followed lastly by an icon, (all on 1 line from left to right), eg like: http://focuslabllc.com/ (see icons just under the title ‘We create quality products that enrich the lives of others.’

I have added this in the text:

<span class="custom-icon">[icon color="Accent-Color" size="regular" image="icon-heart"]</span>
<hr />
<span class="custom-icon">[icon color="Accent-Color" size="regular" image="icon-heart"]</span>
<hr />
<span class="custom-icon">[icon color="Accent-Color" size="regular" image="icon-heart"]</span>

And added the following CSS:

html body .custom-icon .icon-default-style[class^="icon-"] { color: #cccccc!important; font-size: 64px !important;}
hr { border: none; border-bottom: 3px solid #ddd; color: #ccc; width: 25%; display: inline-block; clear: none; margin: 30px; }

But I cannot get all these elements to fall together in a block across 1 column all they seem to do is list, what am I doing wrong please

for some strange reason it’s reverted back to not being inline – Don’t think I have done anything ??

think the class inline-hr has disapeared :-( so sorry

Here’s the css:

.inline-hr p {
    display: inline-block!important;
}

.inline-hr hr {
    margin-bottom: 0!important;
}
:)

Hey, Have you considered using IcoMoon yet in Salient? http://icomoon.io/

Yes, more icon sets will most likely be on the way :)

In the Home Slider Options screen, some of the options are not taking any effect with my Nectar Slider collection screen. For example, when I try to update the Slider Advance Speed from 5000 to 10000 ms, there is no change. Even the Autoplay Slider option is ignored when set to off (where it continues to autoplay).

What am I missing here?

Hey chris7772,

are you sure you’re using the actual Home Slider and not a Nectar Slider? The Nectar Sliders options are configurable on the element itself in the page – check out this in regards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLU9Pxo_RD8

However if you actually are using the Home Slider – please open a ticket in regards so I can log in and see what’s going on :)

I think my brain is on dope: I forgot that the Page section needs to have the shortcode string added first. *smacks head!!!

No worries at all! Glad you have it sorted :)

I have now setup a line of Nectar-slides. I have one slide for Contact for example. But within the slider I still get the slides for the frontpage etc. I thought it was possible to exclude banners which you didnt want to display on different sites?

Cheers Peter

Hey again,

I encourage you to check out this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLU9Pxo_RD8 it covers all aspects of using the Nectar Slider including managing locations :)

Cheers

Hi Nectar. From your dummy-data I cant see if you have used Featured images or custom thumbnail…

So what is the recommended size of the featured image? Do you scale automatically for retina and normal display – so that the large image will not be loaded by default (which makes the site heavy to load).

Featured images are used all throughout the demo & the minimum size for a standard portfolio (non masonry) is 600px x 400px. (Masonry minimum sizes are listed in the user guide). There’s no auto serving of different sizes based on retina vs non – this would require the use of a plugin currently.

Hi ThemeNectar,

Did you fix anything for the demo website, because I think what you have done may fixed the IE8 crash issue.

Best Regards

Patrick

Hey Patrick, nothing has changed with the demo in a couple weeks

Cheers

Hey Nectar! I’m working on my second project with Salient and was wondering if there’s an easy way to implement custom button coloring beyond the defined color scheme in the theme options?

Thanks for the superb theme and all of your hard work! :)

Hey TwoSolid!

The option to define a custom color for the button element was added in 4.0 – just ensure you’re on that version and you’ll be good to go :)

Cheers

Hi.

I am have noticed that sub items on the mobile menu do not show up? they show up fine on the desktop version though.

Is this a bug or limitation?

Hey again!

Yes, add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:

 
#mobile-menu .sf-sub-indicator [class^="icon-"], #mobile-menu .sf-sub-indicator [class*=" icon-"] {
  color: #fff!important;
}

That worked! you’re a champion thanks!

You’re very welcome :)

I’m really unhappy with your ‘Support’, I asked a specific question and was given an automated response from Tahir directing me to the PDF, which doesn’t cover the problem i’m having. I understand you sell alot of these themes and get a lot of questions, But It’s been 2 days since having these issues and it’s still not sorted. And I’m under pressure to get it fixed..

When uploading the theme itself, a bunch of stuff ‘Fails to import’, and when uploading the dummy xml, it also fails to import a whole bunch of stuff.. I have installed the theme on a subdomain. could this be an issue?.. I’m really lost. Help would be greatly appreciated

Hello Sanchiang,

Support is not given in full force on the weekends since the only person working is me – please have patience, your ticket will be served soon :)

Hi ThemeNectar,

Can I have you contact detail like email address or skype account. Cause I have already spent about 4 days to figure out the IE8 issue, and still crashing. It is quite difficult to contact you through this discussion forum, and the IE8 crash make lots of our customers unhappy, please help.

Best Regards Patrick

The IE I tested on through browserstack was an actual IE8 running on windows XP but that yielded nothing either – since you can’t allow me admin access, I’ll just have to send you over a modified file for you to try on your ticket. I’ll be back with you on there as soon as I can :)

Hey mate,

Hope we can fix the IE8 issue as soon as possible.

Best Regards

Patrick

Will be on the ticket shortly.

Cheers

Is there a way to have double filtering on the portfolio? For example, I’d like to sort the portfolio by project category (which you already support) as well as additional sorting by client. Can you help me with this ability to filter by client without adding them into the project category list?

Hey prestonjohnlewis,

Unfortunately this wouldn’t be possible without some custom development currently – but i’ll note it for the wishlist :)

Cheers

I need a absolute Blank Page Template without Header, Footer, Page Title and Sidebar to use with the Page Composer in especial sub-pages.

How can I do that without lose scripts and other precious information?

PS: Will be nice include that option in the next update! ;)

Hey davideassis!

You’d have to create a new template file for this – if you need assistance, please open a ticket on the forum and let me know your ticket id :)

Cheers

Done! Ticket: #204841 ;)

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

Hello. Regarding the transparent header, can you please consider adding an option to the Page Header section to change the navigation font color and hover? For example, on lighter images, I would like to use a darker font. This is also the case with the logo. Would be nice to be able to use a darker logo on the lighter images. I believe the Bridge theme by Qode as this option. Thanks!!

Hey joe88,

I’ll add that request to the wishlist

Cheers :)

Hi, how did you make a button links to pop up video in the demo? (i.e. Salient Clean All Purpose Demo > Home > Coded to pixel perfection > “Buy a beer instead” Button.)

http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266

Hey cormane! Youtube/Vimeo links automatically popup in a lightbox in the Nectar Slider – if you need to make video lightbox links in other areas, add this into the text tab on your editor:

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yarB1NCyqfs" class="pp nectar-button medium extra-color-3">Link</a>

Cheers :)

Thanks, It Works! I love it!

You’re very welcome :)

Dear ThemeNectar, what is the effect that you have used on the Contact Alternative page where the snow is blowing? Can you please explain? Also, I wanted to inform you that I am missing data from the following portfolio items Spacebound, Ownage, LowPoly Social, OneBeer & BOX – EXT. CONTENT I need to see how the shortcodes were used in the aforementioned posts so that I can implement them to be utilized. I was given an xml file on your website but it did not import any data and the only portfolio item that is published like the demo is Mobile Weather App Is there any way that you can help me? Thanks so much!

Hey again!

1. Anyway you can open a ticket in regards so I can log in and see why you’re missing some of the data? http://themenectar.ticksy.com

2. Those are both videos actually, for example:

http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/forest.webm

The home page video was made by me and is actually included in the dummy data as you’re free to use it :)

Cheers

Thanks so much, ThemeNectar!

You’re very welcome :)

Hi and thanks for the great support on this theme. I have two questions. 1. Can I change the menu text size on the mobile menu? 2. Can I change the colour of the drop down arrow on mobile menu or even resize it. It is so hard to see with my current colour scheme. Thanks

Hey Aktivatum!

Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:

 #mobile-menu ul li a {
    font-size: 16px!important;
}
#mobile-menu .sf-sub-indicator [class^="icon-"], #mobile-menu .sf-sub-indicator [class*=" icon-"] {
   color: #fff!important;
}

Cheers :)

Hey!

I was just wondering if you could please explain how the linking works for portfolio displayed on the home page.

It seems that the portfolios displayed on the home page (http://andypluslam.com.au/) does not take the user to the portfolio item upon clicking on it.

Cheers,

Andy.

Hey!

The ticket ID #205327.

Cheerios,

Andy.

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

Portfolio pagination Can this please be treated as an urgent matter? The pagination really doesn’t work very effectively and the portfolio is the key area of this theme that I use. I have had to switch pagination off for now, which isn’t ideal (as it stretches the page) but our site users were finding that they would select a filter and not be able to see the items from that category.

This is currently the only issue I have with this theme – apart from that it is great.

Many thanks!

Hey mcothier!

The filters will only sort what is on the current page – but additional functionality is is planned for the portfolio/blog pagination soon :)

Cheers

What is the best way to use the page header title/h1 tags on each page? They are important for SEO optimization. Then you have the nectar slider header and caption too.

You’re welcome :)

The nectar sliders look like they default to H2. How canI get them to be and H1?

Hey again! Sorry, I was mistaken to initially tell you they default to h1 in the slider – I changed them to h2 a bit ago when the slider because available to use multiple times on the same page. To alter this, open up the functions.php file and change this line:

  if(!empty($slide_title)) { $slider .=  '<h2>'.$slide_title.'</h2>'; } 

Cheers :)

Hello. Your theme is amazing. Could you give any hints on how to make the portfolio AJAX loading? I know this a commonly requested feature but I just wondered if it’s a simple mod? :)

Thanks TMATHIAS!

This unfortunately isn’t a simple mod but if you’re looking for infinite scroll functionality it’s coming in the next release

Cheers :)
