I have no clue why.. the page keeps breaking up. Its setup correctly, 1/4+2/4+1/4. Also when I tried 1/55 and 1/88

Can you help me out?

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! :)

Please could you have a look into my issue regarding adding the extra code to functions.php so that I can have non transparent menus on other pages…

Added the code but it’s not working, see my last comment here: http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/4363266/comments?filter=all&term=using_page_header&utf8=%E2%9C%93

Rich

Just responded :)

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

Hi Bud,

I have 3 feature requests for your potential next update please.

  1. Please can you add the ability to turn on or off transparent menu’s on a page by page basis
  2. Please can you add dynamic next/previous paging to the blog
  3. Please can you add alternative portfolio paging and back to portfolio home (eg not so it always appears over a cover image, perhaps either underneath the cover image, or alternatively far left and right on the page borders, upon scroll it could follow you down the page)

Rich

Oh yes and blog layout options would be awesome :-)

Hey Rich, thanks for the requests as always :)

How is it I make a background colour behind the text (also in ordinary/ normal text) like you have in the Nectar banner? I was searching for it, but dont know what to call it…

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 :)

How to widen the dropdown menu (not the mega-menu). Mine is like just a bit too short, so that the line breaks up. Thanks

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;
}

Just added the “Recent Reviews” widget, and noticed the following:

The widget displays fine if you’re on a woocommerce related page. If you switch to a normal blog page or something though and the styling is lost (the thumbnails gets really small and moves to the right.

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

Cheers

I really like how the sidebar can be turned on to follow down the page on a portfolio item. Is it possible to do this on other pages as well? I’d really like this feature on one of my recent project pages.

Thanks

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 :)

Wow – Awesome!

What hosting service do you recommend?

Seriously, I have several thousands of models and photographers I would like to recommend Salient to.

Mark Harper Owner/Operator iModel.com

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

Hi,

I really want to buy this theme, but I am worried about the Page speed according to Google Insights it scores 64%/100%.

Since i am starting i have a shared server and i do not want to make a bad decision. Since it’s about the ranking and SEO. I can optimize some stuff but my question is (1) what is the average page load time with optimization thru plugins on a shared server?

Thx CLL

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 :)

This is an awesome theme! :-)

Where do I add a javascript for special effects for menu buttons and other buttons?

This is the link with the general instructions for it:

file://localhost/Volumes/ASARA_EXT/AA%20Transfer%20to%20New%20PC/Desktop%20folders/The%20Telos%20Channel/AAA%20Vision%20Media%20Creations/Button%20effects/Button%20effect/doc/index.html

Thanks. :-)

Asara

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 :)

Hi there, Great theme, very versatile! I have two questions:

1. How do I center the logo? And make it work on transparent to color effect.

2. Im making a one-page website, I cant find a way to get rid of the “no menu assigned” from the header. Here’s the page:

http://www.justschil.com

Thank you!!

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 :)

Is there ant way for me to use custom icon for example from the icomoon plugin or my own pictures in the icon shortcode? Or any way for me to get more icons?

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

Hi ThemeNectar,

Can we make the carets when viewed on a smart phone a little bit bigger?

Also, I’m seeing white stripes in-between my portfolio thumbnails. How can we take these out? http://i.imgur.com/HidC2yn.jpg

Thank you!

Hey,

1. Add this into the custom css box:

#mobile-menu a > .sf-sub-indicator i {
  font-size: 20px!important;
}

2. Try adding this a well:

body .portfolio-items[data-col-num="elastic"] .col img {
    max-width: 101.6% !important;
    width: 101.6% !important;
}

Cheers :)

thank you!

You’re welcome :)

hi, I just updated 4.03 version with 3.9.1 WP. and i’m experiencing errors when I try to edit content. In a visual editor mode when I click the edit icon to edit text I get blank window in the visual mode but when I click on the TEXT tab I can see the HTML code. Is anyone else reporting this?

Correct – and if you’re made sure a plugin isn’t causing it please open a ticket with your login credentials http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ so I can see what’s wrong :)

is there a specific plug in that i need to watch out for?

Any plugin that adds to or uses the wp editor has the chance of causing the error – just disable them all for a second to check if it’s one of them :)

hi ThemeNectar,

I’ve done some CSS to change some leading under some titles. It looks like things got moved around and I can’t get it back. Is there anything I can do to fix this? see screenshot here…. http://i.imgur.com/UFAzlxM.png

Site is live here urbanworkstest.com/patricia

Also, is it possible to have a different logo in the header on each subpage?

Thank you!

Hey LiskaD!

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

.swiper-slide[data-x-pos="left"] .content p {
    margin-top: 20px!important;
}

2. This would require custom development as css alone wouldn’t be able to handle it unfortunately.

Cheers

Blog post per page. Is there way to change the number of blog post per page? in masonry mode I like it as Salient demo page where there are many posts like magazine style.

Currently, mine paginates with only 3 posts per page

Hey 52med,

yes, you can control the posts per page in Settings > Reading via the admin panel or on the blog element itself if you’re using that via visual composer or the blog shortcode :)

Hi ThemeNectar,

If I’ve built most of the site with your theme and not a child theme, is it to late to build a child theme? Would I loose any of my design or CSS code when moving to a child theme?

Hey LiskaD, a child theme is only for file mods & additional css you feel like having in a stylesheet instead of the custom css box. If you’ve already modded your files, you’ll just have to bring those into the child theme to start keeping track of :)

The only CSS I have is in the custom css box. So I guess creating a child theme wont change anything if I copy my CSS codes into the child theme’s custom css box?

Yes, it should still work the same :)

I was hoping you could tell me when the included plugin “visual composer” by wp bakery would be updated to the current version 4.1.2? The version in the last theme update (3.7.3) is causing validation errors on my site when using the Ultimate Addon’s for visual composer plugin. I am hoping there is an update soon!

Other than that, thank you for a wonderful theme. :)

Hey holly114! What validation errors are you referring to? I’ve quickly tested with that plugin and couldn’t see any – The reason VC is not 4.0+ in Salient yet is because of the frontend editing mode that was added in that version (it wouldn’t play nice with Salients elements without a good deal of work).

Cheers :)

Hi themenectar, thank you for the prompt response. ive linked the results of the w3c validation here: http://goo.gl/GSf1BI

The first error appears to be theme related, with the rest caused by ultimate add on’s. Any help would be much appreciated!

The error being thrown really doesn’t make sense ” Element link is missing required attribute property.” All of the stylesheets loaded from VC have all the necessary attributes to make them valid – checking out the responses from WPBakery regarding this also seem to point to that:

Hello, I’ve start to use Woocommerce, I creeate a store, and categories. I’ve creeate a product and I’ve put a picture. The product is place in one of categories that i’ve creeated. When I enter in the product, the clarity of picture is very good, but when I enter in specific category to select the product, the picture it’s not so clear and nice. What should I do ?

Here is a prt sc of the image: http://i62.tinypic.com/2ntwqc7.png

Thanks !

Hey sabinnitu,

can you allow me to see the URL so I can check on everything for you?

Cheers!

The image is not clear, it’s a little bit blur.

Thank you !

Hey again – it seems to be serving in the correct size at about 300px http://moramart.ro/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/monument-funerar-1-small--292x311.jpg – if you’re just referring to the slight blur you get because the browser is sizing the image to fit the column, there’s not much you can do other than to try and set the size of your images in WooCommerce settings to be exactly the size they appear in the desktop columns
