hey, I encountered a strange problem. I finished building a site on my testserver and now wanted to build the page to go live. In my testinstallation I added the extra class “light” to headings and everything worked fine. Now, when I add any class in Texteditor somehow visual composer is adding backslashes and the class does not take affect. So:

<h2 class="light"> becomes <h2 class="\" light=""> </h2></h2>

Can you help me with this?

Hi there! I see in the Salient website that the Nectar Slider combines somehow with the header of a page, for example the Portfolio. Where do I find that option so I can enable it?

hey i have 2 questions: 1) do you have a recommendation for a plugin that works with the theme that lets me edit the font size in every element using VC?

2) I put a slider on my homepage and put a video on the slider as slide 3. In chrome, it works fine but when I open it up in Firefox, the video sound will play when the first slider loads and when the slider gets to slide 3, it starts to play the video again. So, my question has to do mostly with this: HOW DO I STOP THE VIDEO FROM AUTO PLAYING? CAN THERE BE A PLAY BUTTON?

Hi mate,

Thank you again for the IE8 issue fixed. A quick question, is that possible to put a slogan in the second menu at the top. For now, I put it in the

and manually define the margin right. ( www.plutora.com ) However, when I view it on a mobile devices, it looks quite ugly, is there a way to fix it?

Best Regards

Hi there…. again!!

As I finally start to populate my theme I’m left wondering if I might be managing my images wrongly and before I go too far I thought I should ask. Based on your theme, what is the best way to use post, gallery and page imagery?

I’ve worked out header, main content width and depths but when it comes to displaying my own content things get a little confused.

1) If im using Photoshop and optimizing for the web is there any point or harm in using SMUSH? 2) Whats a good size for blog images? I’m not talking about how big is a piece of string but a rough guide to compressing and an average dimension for a FEATURED IMAGE and an embedded image. 3) It strikes me that by constantly adding images to the media page it actually will get huge and quite tricky to navigate. Is there a better tool to be using? Does it slow down the page load or WP if you have huge numbers in there? 4) Should I be actually uploading images at all (sounds daft I know) or self hosting and just calling them up/pointing to them instead? Is there a more efficient way or is it just the way it works.

Anyway, Im just after a guide to using images (sizes, compression, format etc….) If you dont have the time to explain is there a good article on the matter that you can point me to?

Cheers as always Andy

Hey

Your theme contained an image of a random person and it ignited the following 2 facebook posts. Check it out. Probably best to start from the second post which is about halfway down. Watch the confusion unfold.

Hola

There is an issue with portfolio? I am using last version of Salient en WP 3.9 but there is a black image as a preview.

Not sure what´s happening. Any help? Thx

Hi ThemeNectar,

Is it possible to delete the extra space above the bullets and align the bullets to the left as seen here on this screenshot?… http://i.imgur.com/zYM5ukJ.png

site is live here… urbanworkstest.com

Hey ThemeNectar!

First off…AMAZING theme. I’ve purchased and used my fair share of themes, and this is by far the most flexible and easiest to use theme to date. Great job! Also, thank you for taking the time to make those videos – they have been such a useful tool to work through some of the questions I have as I’m building my website.

Despite reading through comments, tickets, and watching the videos – I’m having trouble with the portfolio gallery. I’m using WordPress 3.8.2, and I have done everything explained in the “Setting up your portfolio” video (I want to achieve what you show at 4:05). The gallery seems to insert into my post fine. BUT…I don’t have an option under “Project Configuration” to check the “Gallery Slider” (even after I update the page). It’s simply not there! Any explanation? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help on this! Liz

Last question I hope – I want to display my portfolio with just 2 columns. Everytime I get the portfolio into the 2 columns I am left with a white gap on the right side even when I click full screen. Any Ideas?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Hello,

Regarding the Archive widget in the footer, is there a way to limit the number of months that shows up under the Archive widget?

Basically, the drop-down menu is ugly, and the footer looks better with the actual text displayed in the footer. Since our blog goes back almost a year, the drop-down menu is basically required to prevent a huge footer.

Just like the Recent Posts footer widget has the option to reduce the number of recent posts, I am looking to do the same with the archive months.

For example, it is May 1st, if we could reduce the number of months to 4, then it would show Feb, Mar, Apr, May below the list. Better yet, it could say:

May, April, March, Feb, then have “Previous Months” (or some custom text)

I saw a suggestion a few months back about adding a custom plugin to modify the footer, but I try to limit the use of plugins and prefer your guys’ modifications. I also think it would look really nice if the archives matched the style of the recent posts widget with the thin horizontal rule between entries.

I really like how the new Recent Posts widget shows the date beneath the title. It looks great with the dark footer. Is there a way to do something similar with the Archive widget?

Thanks in advance for the awesome theme, support, and any help with my request!

Best,

Happy Salient User

Sorry where’s the full screen mode on the feature/slider image?

hey there how to i make my menu react like http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/

also when i make the menu transparent .. there seems to be a space between the top of the page and content of the page … how do i make that space = 0?

Are you able to add a button in the menu? ex. sign up button?

On inside blog pages, eg: http://www.webteam.cornwall.nhs.uk/magna-fringilla-quis-condimentum-2/

Can the text have a large left and right margin eg bringing the text towards the centre of the page?

Can dates and comments tags be added under the headline?

Can the gravatar be moved up under the headline?

Sorry for all the questions…

Rich

On this page: http://www.webteam.cornwall.nhs.uk/home-blog/

I would like the following adjustments if that is possible please

1. The dummy text under the headline needs to have it’s left and right margin narrowed by 100px each side
2. Can the meta, eg By pearsori | Food for thought | No Comments be put underneath the dummy text and font enlarged slightly
3. Is there any availability to show gravatars here?
4. Can the date/likes block be moved from the left hand side and run underneath the meta info
5. Can the read more buttons be removed?
6. Is there any ability to put in a divider line between the headline and the dummy text
7. Can the padding or margin be increased on the headline say 100px above and below?

Cheers R

Hiya,

I have checked on 4 computers now and the following h2 nectar slider titles are not doing anything for me, have I done something wrong? for instance on this page: http://www.webteam.cornwall.nhs.uk/our-story/ the headline should only be 20px but it’s not its 80px

.swiper-slide.home .content h2 { font-family: "Futura PT",'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif!important; font-weight:600 !important; font-size: 80px; text-transform:uppercase!important; letter-spacing: .1em!important; line-height: 330px!important;}

.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;}

.swiper-slide.work .content h2 { font-family: "Futura PT",'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif!important; font-weight:600 !important; font-size: 20px; text-transform:none!important; letter-spacing: .1em!important; line-height: 330px!important;}

.swiper-slide.ourstory .content h2 { font-family: "Futura PT",'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif!important; font-weight:600 !important; font-size: 20px; text-transform:none!important; letter-spacing: .1em!important; line-height: 330px!important;}

.swiper-slide.journal .content h2 { font-family: "Futura PT",'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif!important; font-weight:600 !important; font-size: 20px; text-transform:none!important; letter-spacing: .1em!important; line-height: 330px!important;}

Hi ThemeNectar!

I have a quick question. I’ve managed to screw up my product thumbnail images. They all look really pixelated now somehow. ( http://bit.ly/1rIymCL ) And the images have jumped down to different rows as well.

What are the optimal sizes for the product thumbnails?

Right now I’ve set the catalogue images to 220px x 220px at the WooCommerce -> Settings -> Products. And I have the same dimensions for Miniature Images in Media Settings. (And I’ve regenerated all the thumbnails several times).

What dimensions should I use to fix this?

Thank you for your time!

Hey, I was wondering if you had any plans to add multi layer parallax to the nectar slider? So for example – when you hover over it the layers move in a very subtle way?

Thanks again!

Joe
