Hi,
first of all: absolutely gorgeous theme, congrats!
To the question: I want to hide the meta info from the portfolio preview page, I want to use it as an image gallery. I’ve added this code to the salient css section, but it doesn’t seem to work.
.portfolio-items .work-meta .meta-category .meta-date { display: none !important; }
Please help! Also, could it be possible to do this with only one specific portfolio and leave the rest with default settings? Thanks!
Thanks mimms!
If you can supply the URL of the single portfolio you want to do this mod on i’d be glad to assist with the css to ensure only that page is targeted 
Cheers
Thank you! http://www.scherwitzl.com/wordpress/?page_id=773 just one foto until now
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.page-id-773 .portfolio-items .col .work-info .vert-center {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers!
Thank you! Could you also instruct me what to do in order to change the transparency level and color on hover?
Hey again!
1. The transparency must be changed in the init.js file located in the js folder of the theme. Search for this to end up at the right place:
$(this).find('.work-info-bg').stop().animate({
'opacity' : 0.85
},250,'easeOutCubic');
2. The color is changeable on your project edit page – in Salient 4.0+ there’s an option in your project configuration box to define your desired color.
Cheers
I don’t understand why in changelog the last update 4.0.2 is from 09/04/2014 and in the themeforest page it’s from 12/04/2014, is out 4.0.3?
Hey mzuker, no – the update you’re seeing was only a one line change to the .po file that should’ve been in 4.0.2
Hello! I am currently testing the theme to update our website.
And it seems to me, the megamenu isn’t working properly. I added megamenu columns-3 on the parent menu’s CSS Class section. 
Can you help me?
Hey themickyd!
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:body header#top nav > ul > li.megamenu > ul > li {
float: left!important;
}
Cheers
Hello!
If you head over to the demo page here – http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/ and scroll down to the first blue section.
What is the font and size being used for “Stop blending in with the rest of the crowd and start leaving your mark on the web.”
Also, under which heading can this section be managed at on Sallent > Typography?
Cheerio.
Hey Andy!
Open Sans Light – 24px. In 4.0+ you have the option to control every heading 1-5 so you could theoretically choose these settings for any heading you desire.
Hey guys,
Love this theme and really excited to see future themes from you!
Quick Q: I just downloaded the theme update but Im not seeing options to make my portfolio (and other features) like I see on the demo site. For instance, I am looking to make my portfolio like “portfolio style three” but dont see an option for that on the backend…a little help?
Thanks!
Hey jsillustrated!
What version are you seeing in the theme information tab of the Salient options panel? Did you also delete the old version before uploading the new one?
Cheers
It says that I am on version 0.1.0 but I am using a child theme. To update I downloaded the latest version of the theme and overwrote the main salient wp files. I didnt change anything in the child.
When you update make sure you delete the old theme before uploading the new i.e. don’t overwrite the old files since that can cause issues. Also if you’ve done that and deactivating your child theme doesn’t help please allow me to log in so I can check on this for you
Cheers
When I embed a vimeo video using the Video Player short coded defaults to some random vimeo video. When I go back in to edit it the embed line is blank. Any ideas?
Hey markcurrier, there’s no known issue like that – can you open a private ticket here http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ with your admin credentials so I can see what’s going on?
Cheers
Hi. For the longest time I’ve noticed that the images are blurry when viewing on firefox. I always thought it was my computer, but seems like its theme specific as other websites display fine.
http://i.imgur.com/VO3e3yQ.jpg – Hopefully I’m not the only one who sees the difference (on the Ownage text in particular you can see how one is crisp and the other isn’t), but its even more noticeable when viewing a full page of portfolio items.I’m on a macbook pro, and would be happy to provide full specs if that might help. Has anyone else mentioned this?
Thanks
Hey acafella11,
The issue only occurs because the images are being rescaled in the browser since the columns are scaled based on a % (to fit any screen size perfectly) rather then being served exactly at the size of the image. Unfortunately there’s nothing that can be done about this in the portfolio aside from turning the responsive design off and supplying images exactly at the size available in each column as some browsers are just worse at image resizing.
Cheers
Hi there,
is it possible to remove the footer on a single page, such as the homepage so i can have a fullscreen slider, and then have the footer on all the other pages?
best,
Alex
Hey Alex!
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.home #footer-outer {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
Thanks ThemeNectar, this has done the trick, however, the scroll bar is still visible and the page slightly scrollable even those ive set this to fullscreen. any ideas? http://publishing.akmstudio.com/
You’re welcome!
Try adding this as well:
html body[data-transparent-header="false"][data-bg-header="true"] .wpb_row.first-section {
margin-top: -86px!important;
}
thank you for this! would it be possible to get info on how to wrap it with a normal non-transparent header bar?
You’re welcome!
I’m slightly confused with your last request – can you elaborate a little more on what you’re looking for?
Hi, yea sorry, ive tried this code when changing the menu bar to solid again, but it doesnt work, i get the same problem as before, any ideas?
And this is the page that has the issue, correct? http://publishing.akmstudio.com/
I thought the original problem was the extra space below slider causing a scrollbar – it seems you’ve built out the page to have more sections and removed the full screen option so I’m still not quite seeing the issue you’re referring to yet
Hi,
Is it possible to have the date stamp to the left of the post on single post pages as it is on the blog posts page? The differing post width sizes from blog posts page to single page is undesirable to me. I need the post width to be the same on both pages. Thanks!
Hey lovelyjunkie! This would require modification to the files within includes/post-templates – namely removing the conditionals like ”!is_single()” that prevent the date from only displaying on the single post page.
Cheers
Gotcha. Also had to remove the single page header in the single.php file and add the left padding to the post content to move it past the date time stamp. Thanks!
Glad you sorted it out!
Hello,
Is it possible to set a standard bottom margin/padding for page headers so that the top of page content and sidebar content isn’t right up against the bottom of the page header?
Thanks!
Hey orcawest!
Add this into the custom css box in the salient options panel:
html body[data-bg-header="true"] .container-wrap {
padding-top: 50px!important;
}
Cheers
That works great for my pages like this http://jthotshotting.com/company-profile/
But it looks ugly on pages like this http://jthotshotting.com/hot-shot-trucking/
For the pages such as my company profile page, I can use on top of the content but I need the sidebar to come down as well. That would leave alone my service pages but I still have the issue of the sidebar being too close to the header.
Any other ideas of what I can do?
Hey again,
change that snippet to this instead:
html body[data-bg-header="true"] #post-area,
html body[data-bg-header="true"] #sidebar {
margin-top: 50px!important;
}
Cheers
Works great! Thanks! Your support is fantastic.
I think I have just one last question
The contact form in my footer is adopting the footer CSS of the theme. There are grey borders separating each box. How do I get rid of those within the contact form but allow them to remain within the recent blog posts widget?
Thanks!
You’re very welcome!
Just add this as well
#footer-outer #footer-widgets .col ul.form_ul li {
border: none!important;
}
Chrome on Android – Recent Work links not working. I found if I disable swipe.min.js it fixes the problem on the homepage but adds multiple other problems on other pages. It seems to only be a problem on Chrome on Android, all other mobile browsers work. Is there a fix? -Thanks Link: k9-sd.com
Hey k9design, i’ll note to test with that combo and see if there’s anything I find wrong
Cheers!
Have you guys had a chance to check out the link above on Chrome for Android and click on one of the images under recent work? The swipe event seems to be overriding the natural click event and it won’t open the page. Any ideas? Thanks!
I actually have and attempted to spend some time working on a fix – however it appears that as you stated the swipe control is hijacking the functionality when it shouldn’t be – still working on a workaround
Hello, could you PLEASE help me out and let me know where I can change the font size of the posts on my blog homepage. I can’t seem to find where should I edit it, I try to find it through salient -> taypography options but there isn’t post title option. Thanks.
Hey ViktorZ1991,
Add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
article.post h2.title {
font-size: 30px!important;
line-height: 44px!important;
}
Cheers
Hi,
I’ve just updated the theme and noticed a few weird stuff :- Fullscreen video nectar slider doesn’t work since the upgrade (fullscreen option is properly ticked in the slider settings and shows up in the code as well)
- Nectar slider has a new name : TEST
- Though transparent header is set to on, it does not seem to work in my portfolio pages though all of them start with a nectar slider.
Hey oalbert!
1. There’s no known issue with the fullscreen Nectar Slider effect – a few pages still make use of this on the demo as well. Can you ensure you’ve done a clean update by deleting the old theme prior to uploading the new? If you have please allow me to log in to check on what’s up
2. Weirdly enough you’re the first to report this! Thanks – i’ve already updated the theme on ThemeForest to have no test translations in the .po
3. Since the title is still visible when using a Nectar Slider on portfolio items the effect doesn’t activate but if you set a BG color or provied an image for your page header (and removed the nectar slider parallax effect) it would activate
Cheers!
Hi!
Great theme, I just have a question regarding megamenu. On my page it seems like the last menu item on my columns-4 is not properly in porportion. seems like they are clustered on left side, leaving the submenu background area on right side empthy.
Thanks Etemmu!
can you please share your URL so I can check into why that’s occurring for you?
Cheers
Hello!
Is it possible, that i would like to add private info to my portfolio items, which is not viible in front side, but i see when i am in admin page? (sorry for my english) Thanks!
Hey penyigey! The closest thing you can do to that would be to set your portfolio item to either password protected or private – however this will hide all of the content rather than just portions of it. If you need to hide specific segments of data within an item you’d need to use a plugin
Hello! Thank, and do you know which plugin can help me?
Hello! Thank, and do you know which plugin can help me?
Hey – unfortunately I don’t have a specific one to recommend for this case, I was just letting you know that there might be one as an alternative to custom development
It would be great, if the links from “social media”-section could be re-arranged in the frontend: I’d be happy to have the RSS-Link either in the beginning or the end of the list of social networks.
facebook, twitter, gplus, dribbel -> i not care for the order. but my rss-feed is something else. I do not like it in the middle of other networks. I like it to be the last or the first link. (well, the last one would be cool, but others may see that different)
what do you think?
Hey krohn,
if you want to rearrange the order quickly just open the footer.php or header.php (depending on where you are displaying them) and arrange the social unordered list how you desire
If you need help with this please just open a ticket with your admin credentials at http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Cheers
Hello!
I do this. Everytime. After every update.
That’s why I asked
Cheers
Have you considered making a child theme for your mod too? The footer.php rarely changes so you’d be safe to make your mod there and forget about it
Yes I made a child theme right after the 4.0 update came out
footer.php may be more or less safe, I agree. But the header.php will change more often because of fixes for woocommerce, nectarslider, navi, etc, I guess?
Unfortunately the changelog does not state which files changed, so I’d have a hint if I may have to update the child. Instead I still have to review every update.
The header won’t change every update but 4.0 brought significant changes due to the new header options – will look into making the output of the icons into a function if the reordering doesn’t make it in
Hi TN,
Back on page 265 here, you said to mzuker that it is possible to make the secondary navigation transparent. Would it be possible for you to provide that to me?
Cheers, Peter
Hey Peter,
Open up your init.js file located in the js folder and add this in after the first line:
$(window).scroll(transparentSecondary);
transparentSecondary();
function transparentSecondary(){
if($(window).scrollTop() == 0) {
$('#header-secondary-outer').css({
'background-color':'transparent',
'border-color' : 'rgba(255,255,255,0.2)'
});
$('#header-secondary-outer nav > ul > li > a').css({
'border-color' : 'rgba(255,255,255,0.2)',
'color' : '#fff'
});
}
else {
$('#header-secondary-outer').css({
'background-color':'#f5f5f5',
'border-color' : 'rgba(0,0,0,0.1)'
});
$('#header-secondary-outer nav > ul > li > a').css({
'border-color' : 'rgba(0,0,0,0.1)',
'color' : '#777'
});
}
}
Cheers
Where can i edit the link to the “Custom Recent Posts Link Text” ?
In the “blog” section of the Salient Options Panel i didn’t found any section about it. Because now it leads to an Page that doesn’t exist.
thx for the help!
Hey lorderdbeer!
It’s located in the Blog Options tab of the Salient options panel towards the bottom: http://i.imgur.com/uz8a8td.png
Cheers
I’ve had seen that Section. But it only affects the name, not the link where’s going to.
http://christiansimmerl.de/2013/on the bottom you have “zum blog” this goes to “home-2/blog”. and i finde no option to change that.
maybe you’ve missunderstood my question. i’m searching where i can change the link this tab should go to.
Sorry about that! It’s automatically linking to the page set as the “posts” page in settings reading – however it will fail if you don’t have a permalink structure active. Can you please activate any of the structures available in Settings > Permalinks other than the default? If you’d prefer to change the link manually I’d suggest simply not ticking the box for “Enable Title Labels” on the recent posts element and writing them above in a text block manually. Let me know if you need assistance with this
Cheers
Ah okay. It worked changing it. Thank you very much!
You’re very welcome
Hello!
I am just having a little trouble setting up the contact page as per the demo. I don’t want to import the dummy content as i have already set everything up and just had a little hickup on the contact page.
Anyway, Do you mind sending me the code so i can insert into the ‘Form’ area to achieve the same contact form as per the demo?
Thanks,
Andy!
Hey Andy! The demo simply uses the Contact 7 plugin for the form – just install that and adding one just like it will be a breeze
Hiya!
I gave that a go and didn’t come out as expected – http://andypluslam.com.au/contact/ (saab12)
Would it be easier if you gave me the form code used in your contact form and I’ll give that a go?!
Cheers,
Andy.
Hey again, the problem seems to be that you have the text column located inside of the form column – if you would like me to log in and sort this for you please open a ticket up at http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Cheers
AMAZING – this theme rocks!
Firstly I did have an issue with loading the dummy content, and I logged a support ticket and ThemeNectar have fixed it for me – great service!
But most of all, I’m a novice with WordPress and this theme makes it really easy to create visually amazing website with little or no skills.
I had also purchased the Essenza theme (which is also visually good), but wasn’t compatible with WooCommerce & Gravity Forms, so Salient theme has exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend anyone thinking about buying this theme to stop thinking and just BUY NOW.
AMAZING!!!!
Thanks so much connectingteams! I’m so glad to hear you’re enjoying the theme
Cheers!
