On top of your blog-posts (in thumbnail-mode)/ listing you automatically add categories. But if a blog-item is added to MORE categories this destroys the look and feel (more lines of text before the actual content). How to disable this?

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

yaaaaz

A few more suggestions – and perhaps you can tell me (us) how to hardcode this:

1. On your social-bar-short-code you have option of only 4 socials. However, it would suite the code to have a “tell a friend” (send e-mail hint) to this shortcode.

2. In the short-code “add image” it would be nice with a “No animation” option in the dropdown, as the only way of adding an image is through textblock or HTML which takes longer time.

3. A lot of your customers ask for general alternative background image (not only for the nectar-slider, but normal general bg image).

4. Option to add image-animation upon the Nectar-slider

Hey peter4576,

Thanks for the requests/suggestions!

You can place an image with animation shortcode into the caption field :)

Cheers

Oh ok. But then I would need to know all the CSS attributes etc. as there is no “edit” box…

You’ll just be using:

[image_with_animation animation="Fade In" image_url="" delay=""] [/image_with_animation]

The only possible animations are

Fade In
Fade In From Left
Fade In From Right
Fade In From Bottom
Grow In
Flip In

my website is www.longtran.co

1. How can I make my white banner on the top transparent? 2. How can my social media dont appre on my footer?

Hey again -

1. It seems you’ve already found the option located in the portfolio options tab of the Salient options panel :)

2. Your URL for that page currently seems to be empty – however looking at your example URL of what you’re trying to achieve, it looks like you want functionality the Nectar Slider wouldn’t be suitable for. A plugin might be a better option for this to avoid custom development.

Cheers

Thanks. Do have any recommendation where can I find similar plaguing for that slider

Hi there! First of all, thanks for all the support! You guys are great. I have one question, I have this foto of myself in this page and I was wondering if there is any way I could fixed on screen the image. I believe in CSS is: position: fixed; But I think it doesn’t work. http://drakographics.com/wp/?page_id=30

Hey CecilioLanz!

If you set it to poisition: fixed it will simply be stuck in the same position when scrolling – but from the size of that image and where it’s located it doesn’t seem like that would work out at all. Especially considering the page is short. Can you let me know exactly what you were going for? :)

Cheers

I found this great way of adding additional page-sidebars for widgets (widget areas). However, when adding the new ones using your “widget sidebar” in your shortcodes, the widgets will not appear. And when adding he widget short-code manually in a textblock they do appear, but are not styled the way that the native page-sidebar.

Is there a quick solution to this problem?

Question – I tried to add background-color to the CSS above but with no succes. If I wanted to add a sidecolour, whould that require some crazy coding, or am I just doing it wrong?

 #sidebar {
    background-color: #000000 !important;
    padding: 20px;
}

Should work :)

nahahahhaaaaiize!

Hi!

Thanks a bunch for all the help so far, I have one more question though:

I would like to put a portfolio container within a toggle panel, it looks strange of course :) but is it doable?

Cheers

Hey Etemmu!

Currently you can only place the portfolio element inside of a tabbed element – some visual discrepancies might occur if you nest it within a toggle (not to mention there won’t be enough room for the columns)

okay thanks!

You’re welcome :)

Hi,

Love the theme!

I have three issues that I hope you can help me with:

1. When I change the theme the header color scheme to ‘dark’ and then resize the browser to mimic ‘mobile’, my logo shows up doubled or shadowed.

2. How do I add opacity to the header?

3. How do remove the bottom border from the header?

Thanks!

Hey, thanks for the updates! Where did you find that line to change? That shouldn’t be in the stylesheet by default (should be set to 0)

Cheers!

No problem. You can find it on line 746.

Cheers!

I’ve double checked and that should read:

 header#top #logo .starting-logo {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    opacity: 0;
    left: 0;
}

by default – are you sure you didn’t mod the files after downloading?

Cheers!

What CSS could I use to decrease the line spacing of the footer menu?

Screenshot: http://www.clipular.com/c?6398212210425856=MP5MmQbPiMhAlOlL34B1qMshuHc&f=.png

Tried with the following but it doesn’t make any difference with the line spacing between each of the menu:-

body #footer-outer #footer-widgets .col ul li { padding: -10px -10px!important; }

Hey largeserver,

Try this:

#footer-outer #footer-widgets .col ul li {
  padding: 3px 0!important;
}

Cheers

I tried with this option but please review this link – http://s14.postimg.org/byaocayz5/Capture.png

You can see the red highlighted part is still too much of space….can we remove that part?

Try this instead :)

 
#footer-widgets .row {
  padding: 15px 0!important;
}

Hi Nectar,

Can you help me fix these possible bugs:

- since the upgrade to WP 3.9.1, the visual composer is buggy when trying to add the Line Divider as its own element or using the shortcodes inside of a Text Block.

- when creating a row with more than 1 column and using the Column Padding feature, the last column does not seem to inherit the bottom padding setting. Looking at the source code, could this be related to the fact that the last column has a “col” class instead of “col_last”?

Thanks! Salient is still the best theme otherwise.

Hey danielzd!

1. Salient v4.0.3 is the only version capable of running WP 3.9 – please update to that in order to correct the editor issues.

2. Since this isn’t a current known issue, can you please share a URL where this occurs so I can see what’s causing it?

Cheers :)

Dear ThemeNectar, the footer widget is mal-aligned is there a way to fix it? They are all underneath each other instead of being placed horizontally. Also, what is the Font that you are using for the Headline in the Demo? Thanks in advance!

- Cheers!

Yeah, that’s incorrectly laid out – change it to this:

 <div class="envato">
    <div class="two_column">
        <div class="column1">
<a href="http://videohive.net?ref=jeremydarko"><img src=" 
http://jeremydarko.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/vh_64x64_4.jpg" /></a>

<a href="http://graphicriver.net?ref=jeremydarko"><img src="http://jeremydarko.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/gr_64x64_v4.jpg" /></a>

        </div>
        <div class="clear" />
        <div class="top">
        </div>
<div class="column2">
<a href="http://activeden.net?ref=jeremydarko"><img src="http://jeremydarko.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/ad_64x64_v4.jpg" /></a>

<a href="http://3docean.net?ref=jeremydarko"><img src="http://jeremydarko.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/3d_64x64_v1.jpg" /></a>
        </div>
        <div class="clear" />
        </div>
</div>

Thanks, I deleted the code from the first widget to the third widget & it seems to be back Horizontal but I will use your code alternately.

Sounds good :)

Pré-purchase question :

Is background video can be hosted on youtube/vimeo or are they necessarily hosted on my site ?

Hey costrela,

If the video is actually going to be a BG with content on top of it, it must be self hosted – but full width external emebeds are supported :)

Cheers

Hello can you please tell me how to: - Remove the description button on the product page.

If possible i would like to leave product description and just remove the button above that says description.

Hey turtleturtle :)

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

.description_tab {
    display: none !important;
}

highly appreciated thank you

You’re very welcome :)

Hi Nectar. Is there a way to control the sizing of the Recent Projects carousel? I would like to display 4 items across the page. However, I’m seeing the images display at different heights and widths. Is there a way to make the images and hover the same even sizes? Thanks and have a great weekend.

Hey Joe,

As long as you’re supplying featured images that are at least 600×400 they will get auto cropped – also, the number of items that show in the carousel are dynamic based on the screen size view at. Modding this would require altering the init.js file located in the js folder :)

Cheers

Good Afternoon.

With this theme, do you have the option to change the location of a product description, i.e instead of it being to the side of the product image can it be underneath?

Kind Regards

Hey obev0098,

With a small modification to the functions.php that I could assist with :)

Cheers

I want to buy another copy of the theme for my friend. But I want to clone my site as I have worked a lot on translations and stuff. How do I transfer the license code if I clone the site?

Hey! As long as you purchase the second copy which will include a license key in the download area, you’re free do whatever you like with that second use, including copying/deploying your first site on a separate location :)

ok cool.

Hi,

Is it possible to padding menu be horizontal.

Thanks, Sanja

One level be enough, so only horizonatal , table insert :)

any way to put some stlying that you already have in tables, and we manage to make thumbs :) For example: .tablica { width: 100%; border-top: 1px dotted #496383; margin: 5px 0px 0px; And sorry to bother, any tutorial for paralax slider on the home. Something like this. http://www.heathfield.co.uk/ Thanks, Sanja

Hey again,

1. Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
th, td {
    border: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
    padding: 10px;
}

2. These two tutorials will help you understand building full width parallax sections:

Hi TN,

Is it possible to replace the date on http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/portfolio-fullwidth-style-three/ with some custom text? Having the ability to write a header and subheader on portfolio items would be powerful.

Cheers, Peter

Hey Peter, yes – there’s already an input in the project configuration box for every item to define a custom excerpt :)

Perfect! I didn’t notice this update.

Thanks TN!

You’re welcome :)

How to make all rows of content stretch full width of the browser on each page? Right now at “actual size” browser resolution, the header slider + footer + main call to action (so all content from main CSS) stretch all the way to each side of the browser window. But if you look at the content in between (even in demo) it cuts off on the left hand side in Chrome about 3-5 px leaving white space. I tried all possible settings and combos of “full width in container, background etc)...The only time everything stretches full width is when I click “zoom out” once in view settings in Chrome.

Thanks

Hey mayka06851,

There should be no extra space on the left hand side when using full width background/full width content rows – I’ve doubled checked on Chrome on the demo in various zoom levels but couldn’t replicate. If you’ve already tried to check on another computer, see if adding this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel helps:

body {
   overflow-x: hidden!important;
}

Cheers

LOVE this theme. One of the only things it’s lacking at the moment IMO is the lack of blog layout options.

Do you guys plan on integrating more blog layout options in the near future?

Speaking of blog layouts, is there a way to make the background of the blog white instead of the grey color?

Thanks in advance.

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 there! I have a few questions that I really need help solving as soon as possible.

1) I deleted the comments meta from individual blog posts but can’t figure out how to get it off of the main blogroll. I’ve looked at ALL of your tickets and can’t seem to make any of the suggestions work.

2) The Nectar Slider video background won’t play in Firefox (Safari and Chrome are fine and IE has the “Preview Image”). I read in your previous comments that the theme was built with Firefox so I’m not sure why I’m having an issue.

3) Is there any way to show the Nectar Slider’s “Preview Image” in place of the loading circle? I’m worried that people with ridiculously slow internet will click out of the site if they just see a loading circle. Fixing this would be super helpful and much appreciated!

The site is being built on my desktop server but has been loaded to www.michellemurphydesigns.com to show it to you.

Thanks for an amazing theme and great support! :)

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
