Hi there!

First of all, thanks for the fast and competent help in the past! Secondy, I need more of it :)

Here’s my page: http://www.scherwitzl.com/wordpress/ The problem is that the menu items have a lot of bottom padding, so the submenus look out of place on hover, especially when the menu is transparent. What should I do to make them pop up a bit higher?

And a second question. Where can I change the background color for the submenus?

Thank you very much!

Hey mimms!

1. Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.sf-menu ul {
    margin-top: -20px;
}

2. You can control the colors by selecting “custom” for the header color scheme in the Salient options panel > header tab

Cheers :)

thanks!

You’re welcome :)

I dont want that radio buttons texts and uploadButtons captions texts have the main accent color, how can I change it ?

You’re welcome :)

Hi Theme Nectar! 1.I created a Nectar Slider 1920×600. The picture is mostly white but I did make sure to positioning the real image inside the 1100 width (container). The problem happens when I try to see on my Iphone and change the position from Portrait to Landscape then come back to Portrait. The picture is cut. Could you take a look please? I also tried to change to container, full background width and still the same.

Hey maurinoloureiro! You just need to activate the flexible height option on your Nectar Slider which was added in Salient v4.0 :)

When I go to dashboard>Salient>Woocommerce, there are 3 options for Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

I would like to add Instagram there as well. Understandably this is out of your scope of support ( I assume ) as this is definitely custom development.

Are you able to let me know what files need to be modified or give me a starting point on what needs to be modified to accomplish adding this in. I would think it would be multiple files that need to be edited.. so I figured I’d inquire before potentially wasting hours going in the wrong direction.

Thanks

Hey mkurk!

The files that would need to be modded are:

- functions.php, search for “review_quickview” to end up at the right place - init.js, located in the js folder – search for

 //load share count on load 
to end up at the right place.

Cheers :)

Hi – in the latest version of the theme with WP 3.9 there is no line break between the header and the content.

Image example: http://i.imgur.com/Xf74sun.png

Hey dcress! There should be if you’re using the sidebar layout – but if you’re just using the default layout with a column layout you’ll need to set padding on that top row. Thanks for pointing this out though :)

Oh, by the way, where can I publicly rate this theme? I have tested nearly a hundred themes and have bought a few from your competitors. Salient is solid, versatile, elegant. What a fantastic theme!

Thanks so much sildona, that means a lot!

The only place to rate the theme is through the standard stars you can assign in your downloads tab, but the comment you just left was much appreciated :)

Cheers

Working with the Clean All-Purpose dummy data… How do I use the Nectar Slider in place of the Home Slider? I can’t find how to disable the Home Slider and replace it with a Nectar Slider on my Home-Landing Page.

Hey palsy1149,

All you need to do is change the page layout to “default” in the page attributes box located on the right hand side when editing your page :)

Cheers

Yep. Totally missed that and it worked. Thanks. You guys rock, your technical support is great and the theme is awesome. Best $57 I’ve spent in a long time.

Glad to hear it’s sorted & thanks a lot! :)

Whats the easiest way to make a transparent header over a full_width_section? Im fluent with CSS/PHP etc, can you just point me in the right direction. Time is of the essence. Thanks.

Hey eyeballer, this will probably be made into an option for future releases but for now the mod will take place inside the functions.php file at the function “using_page_header”

Cheers :)

Hi ThemeNectar,

This is not a question but an instruction to other users of your theme in combination with Yoast’s WordPress SEO plugin.

When using the sitemap functionality you will see a 404-error page when checking the Salient page that would normally show a sitemap. When deselecting the sitemap functionality, saving the page and than reactivating the sitemap functionality and saving the page again, will show you the sitemap page.

This took me quite some time to figure out and therefore I wanted to let you know so other can save themselves the time and hassle of finding this out.

Good luck.

Cheers, Marc

Hey Marc, thanks for noting this :)

That’s pretty odd – I wonder if simply resaving the permalinks would have also sorted it. Have marked down to test.

Cheers!

Resaving did the trick

Good to hear :)

I am doing the slides and when I upload a picture they say “HTTP ERROR” and I cannot upload the pic. But one week ago I did the same and I had no problems with that. Why today I cannot?

Hey tcr48, have you ensured that a plugin is not causing the issue?

Hi! Thank you for this great theme! Just a question : my “Latest Projects Widget” has some problems, please have a look at my site’s footer at this url: http://bit.ly/1hrBnkX

How can I fix this? Thank you very much!

Hey!

I don’t see the css getting applied on the front of your site but now when I check your link the recent projects has no blank item – did you sort this?

Hi! Yes… I switched the latest project widget from the 2nd footer column to the 3rd one… It sounds very strange but.. it works!

Indeed, but glad to hear you sorted it! :)

When setting up a homepage hero sized(full screen) slider- like seen on the demo “portfolio eye candy”

What specs would you use to ensure that users get a full screen slider?

PS- I have purchased the them on work accounts(this account is a new personal one, hence the no purchase)

Also, this is my favorite theme by a long shot- excellent work and I always look forward to updates and improvements. Lastly, do you plan to allow a simple, theme-based way to adjust your font colors?

Thanks michaelcm :)

1. As long as you’ve checked the option for full screen on your Nectar Slider – it will always occupy 100% of the screen height/width. Also since I used a video for the BG on that page I keep the size in a full HD 16:9 aspect ratio.

2. Possibly, though I always recommend css for mass font color since it’s simple and can give precise control – if you need assistance let me know!

Hey, how can I make my menu “trasparent”? I found in older comments you say to insert this code: html body #header-outer.transparent[data-transparent-header=”true”] { border: none!important; }

into the CSS box in the Salient Option Panel. The problem is that when I copy these lines into it appears two errors: 1) unqualified attribute selectors are known to be slow 2) use of !important

What I have to do? Thanks

Hey Luker92!

Those are just warnings, not errors and the snippet should still work. However that snippet only removes the bottom border on the transparent menu option, were you looking for that or to make your menu transparent even when scrolled down? If you’re looking for the latter add this in instead:

#header-outer {
  background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.9)!important;
}

How can I increase the menu item sizes please (header) and also increase the spacing between each menu item?

R

The menu item sizing can be configured in the typography tab of your Salient options panel – as for increasing the spacing between each item, use this css:

header#top nav ul li {
    margin-left: 10px!important;
}

Are there options to make a blog page look like this: http://focuslabllc.com/journal

I would like to 1) Centre all blog entries, including title and snippet text 2) Add avatar of author, date, and if there are any comments 3) Alternate the blog entries so that every other one has a light grey background 4) Add in a separator image between title and snippet 5) Add in pagination at the top (like the link has)

R

Unfortunately not

One last question re this please (sorry) does it have to be set to background full width to achieve the effect I’m after, as in a nutshell the padding left and right I have added is a lot and when you squeeze the browser down it doesn’t reduce the padding very well?

Wondered if I could perhaps add media queries for smaller browser sizes as well, but wasn’t sure what to write e.g….

@media only screen and (min-width : 500px) {
article.post .content-inner {
  padding-left: 10px!important;
  padding-right: 10px!important;

}
}

That media query is good, just change the min-width to say max-width :)

My appologies if this question is too obvious: But is it possible to insert a side-widget with sub-categories that are not displayed in the main-header dropdown?

Like if you wisit a normal webshop like Ebay, and choose “shoes” you will always have like “Sneakers, formal, sports” etc. like sub-categories. I found a “custom menu” widget but that is not what I am looking for. Do you get me?

Hey Peter,

it sounds like you’re after a dynamic menu widget – you’d probably have to grab a plugin for this as there’s nothing built into WP by default that can assist.

Cheers

Hey, is there anyway to sort the portfolio side by a php variable in the URL?

Hey!

The closest thing you can do to that is to use /project-type/your-project-category in the URL.

Cheers :)

How do I change the padding between blog items please matey – there seems to be no option of this?

Also need to change the title colour of the blog headlines to white and make them a bigger font size – possible?

Lastly re the blogs how do I display the author and say posted 1 day ago, etc information underneath the snippets of each blog item?

R

I currently see the p color set to ADADAC in that row – have you sorted this?

Yeah think so bud :-)

I want a full width background with a background image, then I want to put blog items in a container in the centre with the same tiling background – I just can’t seem to achieve this

R

Please just let me know the URL where you’ve attempted this and are having issues so I can check it out :)

Hi Bud, I sent you an email yesterday with all the details, did you not get it?

Yes, just wrote back :)

How can I change the light and dark settings for text so that the colour is slightly different, e.g. I don’t want black or white, I want light grey and very light grey instead?

R

Can you let me know a section of a specific page on your URL where the light css isn’t working so I can check it out?

Cheers :)

Yeah sure the homepage of the website: www.webteam.cornwall.nhs.uk at the bottom the recent blog section… (although I have set this text to grey now manually)

Sorry for the confusion, if you set the row to light it will indeed overwrite column specific settings – if you want them to apply just set the row back to the default (dark)

Cheers
