Thanks pausethemoment!

Infinite scrolling is coming in the next update & if you want to change the BG of your blog, use the visual composer blog element inside of a row so you can have all of the row options like any other page (Don’t forget to unassign that page from being the posts page in settings reading when doing this assuming that’s what you’re currently using to populate the blog page)

I like the idea of the infinite scrolling. Very cool. But, to clarify, I’m wondering about a variety of different blog layouts, like some of the layouts that the Jupiter theme offers (a theme similar to Salient here on ThemeForest). At the moment, I think we’ve got very limited options with the blog layout and it would be nice to have a variety of styles. Anything coming down the pipeline when it comes to this?

As for the bg of the blog, why is it that if I assign “Blog” to the reading settings that it has a grey background, but if I create a separate page and (unassigned) and simply link it from my nav menu, I’m able to use a white bg?

Doesn’t the “Blog” have to be assigned in the reading settings?

Thanks!

Hey again!

1. Yes – but not in the next immediate update.

2. Because the blog assigned from the settings>reading will take over your page content for that page, but when you choose yo use the visual composer blog element instead – you have the freedom to control the row it’s inside of and thus the BG properties of that row.

Hey tesolutions!

1. Add this into the custom css box:

.meta-author, .meta-category, .meta-comment-count {
  display: none!important;
}

2. Do you have a properly encoded webm & mp4 supplied as well as the necessary lines added the htacess file? (This is covered in the troubleshooting video backgrounds section of the user guide)

3. Unfortunately there’s no way to do this without some development since css alone wouldn’t be able to be of much help (unless of course you don’t want it dynamic and just want to set an image of your choosing as the BG)

Cheers

Thanks for the quick solutions!

1) I ended up the following string to get rid of just the “No Comments” meta. It ended up taking out the actual comments area as well though. Any other solution?

using .meta-comment-count { display: none!important; }

2) When I load the site from my desktopserver to the actual hosting I’ll look into the htacess file.

3) Right, I just want a static image on it instead of the grey box with the circle spinner. Make sense? Is this possible?

Thanks again for your help

Hey again!

1. The

.meta-comment-count {
  display: none!important;
}

should remove the line you’re looking for but I don’t see it getting added to your site.

2. Sounds good

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

 nectar-slider-loading {
   background-image: url('your-img.jpg')!important;
}

Cheers

Hey ChrisConner!

Add this into the custom css box:

@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
   body .team-member[data-style="meta_overlaid"] .team-member-image {
       height: 500px!important;
   }
}

Cheers

Ok thanks! I tried specifying a width as well but the overlay and the rest of the content seems to all be based on a specific width defined somewhere else so it ended up looking strange as it only fit the width when rolled over and none of the text content matched the size.

I tried adjusting all of the other .team-member components from the style sheet and adding them to this code in the general settings box but it seemed to never appear right.

If it is not an easy fix, I suppose I will just have to make the images match the larger width format instead of having them taller than wide as I wanted. Thank you for your time and for the helpful response!

Hey again! Yes, for the team member second style – the images are actually set as a background on a div that has a % width. If you need your images to display at an exact size, try using the other style available

Hey cbmatthews, there’s only a recent posts element as of now – but here are the tutorials which show off the UI https://www.youtube.com/user/ThemeNectar

Thanks for the glimpse inside. Really like your theme, just need something to show related posts by category or tag for now.

For now that would require a plugin, but i’ve noted it for the wishlist

Resolved !

Thanks again !

Great to hear!

Cheers

Hey Joe!

Thanks for the suggestions

Cheers

That would be awesome Peter!

Damn… there are 20+ pages. Will take a while but Im on it!

Haha, if it’s any hassle at all it’s really okay – I don’t need it, just if you have it laying around I wouldn’t mind having it to give to other buyers who may want it

Hey Peter

Make sure to always simplify column fractions – so that should be entered as 1/4 1/2 1/4

Cheers

aaaaah ok thanks :0)

You’re welcome!

Just responded

Awesome thanks, just need a little help re portfolio and blog navigation now

Oh yes and blog layout options would be awesome

Hey Rich, thanks for the requests as always

It would be possible through css, you could accomplish that by giving your paragraph tag a class like (done in the text tab on your editor):

<p class="transparent-bg"> Text here </p>

and then adding this to your custom css box in the theme options panel:

p.transparent-bg {
  background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
    box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
    display: inline;
    left: 10px;
    line-height: 45px;
    padding: 4px 0!important;
    font-family: 'OpenSansLight'!important;
    font-size: 24px!important;
    position: relative;
}

Hmmm not working. Dont know what I did wrong. Ill leave a ticket .0)

Sounds good

Sorry – change that to this:

.sf-menu > li:not(.megamenu) ul {
  width: 20em!important;
} 
.sf-menu li li ul {
  left: 20em!important;
}

Im sorry mate, but this screw up my menu even more :0)

Pls check both dropdown and megamenu

http://kommunekommunikation.dk/

First you need to remove the prior snippets I’ve supplied such as

 .sf-menu ul {
    width: 20em !important;
}

and then use this:

body .sf-menu > li:not(.megamenu) ul {
  width: 20em!important;
} 
html body ul.sf-menu li li:hover ul, html body ul.sf-menu li li.sfHover ul {
  left: 20em!important;
}

Hey acafella11, i’ve noted to look into this for the next release

Cheers

Hey acafella11, unfortunately single project pages are the only that can have that functionality as of now – but i’ve noted it for the wishlist

Thanks so much markaharper!

The hosting you go with will simply be based on your current needs/traffic – I personally use rackspace, but buyers use everything from a-z

Cheers

The site to check it https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fthemenectar.com%2Fdemo%2Fsalient

Some more questions, about how can this be done as of now?: (2) Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content (3) Optimize images and videos

Thanks again for the answer CLL

Hey CLL,

I have only taken basic measures for page speed on the demo – theres no minification active which would take care of a good amount of points alone. The average load time even on my setup is still under 3 seconds, but I can’t say if it’s the same on your end since there’s no CDN and you might be further away from the server.

Cheers

Thanks Asara!

That link is actually leading to an area on your computer so I’m unable to see it – but you can add custom javascript in the init.js file located in the js directory in the theme.

Cheers

Thanks for all your assistance! You guys rock!

You’re very welcome

.

Hey schil79!

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

header#top nav {
  text-align: center!important;
}

header#top nav > ul {
  float: none!important;
  display: inline-block!important;
}

body #header-outer .span_9, body #header-outer .span_3  {
  display: block!important;
  float: none!important;
  margin: 0!Important;
  width: 100%!important;
}

header#top #logo img {
    margin: 0 auto 20px auto!important;
}

2. When you’re making a one page site you still

header#top .span_9 {
visibility: hidden!important;
}

Cheers

It worked great!! Thanks again!

You’re welcome

Hey NancyPollreis,

You’d have to enqueue the font files in the theme with some custom development if you wanted them to appear in the icon shortcode as well – however, if you used the text with icon element you can use an custom image instead an icon but there’s only the option to use the regular icon style in that element (which doesn’t have a hover effect)

Cheers
