On the About Me – Extended page, the elements below the main slider “break out” out of the normal page bounds and extend full width. There are also separate background colors. How is this achieved?

Using the “Full Width Section” shortcode does not seem to allow the content to spill outside of the center box.

Hey firestrikemedia, please see this tutorial in regards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpJWWM4BAbo

Cheers :)

Would you consider adding in an extra menu to salient? I think it would be awesome to have a side opening widgetised menu, much like in mediums website, it’s a common trend these days and looks fab with cover images, It opens up so many more possibilities for photoblog users :) let me know what you think :)

Ok do you have a rough time scale please, just so I know how to plan this into my next project :-)

Unfortunately I don’t at this time

Ok no worries, hoping weeks rather than months – ??

Hi, great theme builder, i have a question is there a possibility to use a picture as background in the footers, instead of one colour, or if not will this be an option for the future.

I would really like that to spice it up.

Thanks, Thomas

Hey Thomas,

Yes – add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
#footer-outer {
  background-image: url("your-img.jpg")!important;
}

Cheers

Hi team – great theme!

What about an easy email marketing integration like e.g. Aweber, Infusionsoft, icontact, mailchimp, … or any others? Your theme looks very excellent, but this one should be a MUST nowadays?!

That would be really helpful, because websites are mostly funnels! Don’t you think?!

Thank you for considering this SOON! Best regards, Uwe

I actually don’t have much personal experience with that, but if you use any that give you issues just let me know :)

Thx. I think I’ll try Optin Feature Box from http://plugmatter.com/feature-box

You’re welcome & sounds good :)

Hi, Within the Nectar Slider, the Down Arrow that leads to content below doesn’t show up since my slider is only 545px tall. Is there short code I can use to control the y axis of the Down Arrow so that it can be visible? Thank you!

You’re welcome :)

I’m still waiting for an answer in the forum :)

My apologies – there is a slightly increased wait time currently from spending extra time on development to release 4.1, I’ll be with you on that today :)

Hi: I\’m trying to add a double border effect and when I add raw html it works fine (but then I have to have everything inside html too) but when I use the theme builder and add a class name it adds this strange box in the upper left corner. Any ideas on what to do here?

Hey nancy1of1,

This is happening because you placed your custom class “section-pop” on your row in addition to your column – just remove it from your row and it should work as expected :)

Cheers

Thank you: I want it on the row vs the column so that I can create columns within the border. When I have it only in the row it looks like this. (see link again it’s been updated) Now it shows only the box.

That unfortunately won’t work because there’s a conflict with the grid system which uses this to clear the floats of the columns inside:

.vc_row-fluid:before, .vc_row-fluid:after {
    content: "";
    display: table;
}

If you disable that in your live editor you’ll see the border work but then the floating obviously breaks

On this page: http://www.webteam.cornwall.nhs.uk/work/ when I scroll down the header bar produces a thick black line under it, I have added the code to the functions file to make this work, but I have mixed it with pages and single – have I done something wrong?

if( is_page( 'work' )  || is_single( 'mountain-drift' ) || is_single( 'uversity' ) || is_single( 'katy-skeltons' ) ){
   $the_verdict = false;
}

Have you modified the shrink number to be higher than what’s normally defined in the init.js? If so that’s the cause – and you’ll have to counter this with:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px)  {
.page-id-2754 .parallax_slider_outer.first-section {
    margin-bottom: -2px !important;
    margin-top: -65px!important;
}
}

Hiya, no haven’t touched that file at all, is my code above correct?

Yes your code is fine, try using the css I provided to sort it

On my homepage: http://www.webteam.cornwall.nhs.uk I would like to target certain items to work correctly in mobile view

1) The 3 in a line icons (near the top) need to be smaller so they fit on 1 line 2) The section titled ‘Who are we’ needs to be aligned left in mobile view 3) The icons (clients) can they be made smaller please to fit on 1 line

Cheers Rich

Hey Rich, you’re going to want to wrap all your rules in a media query for mobile only using @media only screen and (max-width: 1000px)

Here’s an example for your clients one:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px)  {
   html body .clients.no-carousel > div {
       margin-right: 1% !important;
       padding: 10px;
       width: 19% !important;
    }
}

Cheers

Possible you could give me an example on ‘Who we are’ and the 3 icons area at the top please? Sorry

done most of them… :-) struggling with media queries on nectar slider header wrote this but it’s not working

@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px)  {
.swiper-slide.home .content h2 { 
    font-family: "Europa",'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif!important; 
    font-weight:600 !important; 
    font-size: 54px; text-transform:uppercase!important; 
    letter-spacing: 0!important; 
    line-height: 1!important;
}
}

Will the new update re the functions file allow me to move the paging and title for the portfolio items below the header image?

If not please can you direct me how to do this :-)

Cheers Rich

Yup, but towards the end of it :)

as in Sunday?

Could be – It’s hard to say whether it’ll be Saturday or Sunday

Hiya,

In the portfolio section I would like to have the header image bigger in depth (like the homepage) how would I go about that please?

Rich

Ah, no worries – you can adjust the responsive behavior of the header inside of the init.js file, search for “pageHeader()”

brill thanks

You’re welcome

Hi, I have some questions:

I am using Codestyling Localization to translate the theme. Many translations do not take affect… For examle “No Comments” below blog entry…. I am using a child theme can that be a reason.

2. When I am clicking on the authors name, I get to the Authors page with a strange headline. %%NAME%%, AUTHOR AT ... I just want to have the authors name like in your example. How can I change this?

Thanks – what’s the ticket ID?

Thanks, just responded :)

I am looking for a Wordpress Theme that has unlimited portfolios and parallax design. What I really need, though, is to be able to use multiple header menus. I need 4 different home pages built in to 1 site. So, users would hit the initial home page, then they would choose 3 different “locations” which would all have different menus. I need these to be 1 Wordpress Install so the locations can share some of the portfolio content, etc… Does this theme have that capability? Could it be edited to have that capability easily?

Hey ThomasWalkerDesign,

You’d have to create some conditional logic to display your different menus as there’s nothing built in for that by default – but you can indeed have as many parallax sections or portfolios as you need.

Cheers

there is a thin grey line/border on either side of the home page slider, how do I get rid of this?

its ok forget this

Hey stackr – glad you sorted it :)

hi,

Have blog set at masonry full width, but the posts are defaulting to 3 abreast when I want them to be 4, how do I change this?

Hey stackr ,

The column number for a masonry fullwidth is dynamic and is determined by the screen size. (It can show between 1 & 5). To change this you’d have to adjust the responsive.css and blog-masonry.js files which are located in the css and js folders respectively.

Cheers

Ok thanks, is there any way of having it so the featured image that appers on the news landing page, DOESN’T also appear as an inner pic in the news post itself?

Yes, add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:

.single-post .post-featured-img {
  display: none!important;
}

Cheers :)

Any help on overriding the line-height of the Nectar Slider headline?

Hello firestrikemedia,

@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) { 
   body .swiper-slide .content h2 {
     line-height: 100px!important;
   }
}

Cheers

Hello. Is there any issues with using third-party short-code (grid plugin) within the Tabs element? I tried adding a short-code inside each of the tab elements (3 tabs on 1 page), but the short-code doesn’t seem to render properly. Just trying to figure out of this is an issue with the plugin or the Tabs itself. Let me know if you need a link. Also, is there still an update planned for this week? Awesome support as always !!

Hey Joe,

Using elements inside of a tabbed or toggle that require being visible for their calculations to be made won’t work by default. I’ve taken the time to ensure any of Salients own elements I could would work, but making a plugin like that work inside of it would require some custom development to the tabbed/toggle in the init.js

And yes, there’s still going to be an update later in the week

Cheers :)

Thanks Nectar for the info. I was afraid that would be the case. I notified the grid author and I’m hoping they will be able to provide a script for this. Regards.

You’re welcome :)

Do you have a flat html version of this?

Hey twenty5media, as of now only a WP version is available for purchase.

Hi,

I can’t find how to change the transition effects for the Nectar slider. Now, it always slide from the sides, but fading would be nice as well.

When using a video, you can add a grid-overlay. Somehow, this option is gone when it’s for images. How do you do this? I can add a grid using Photoshop, but this looks strange when resizing.

Hey Trender, there’s no default option to change the Nectar Slider transition effect but the option for fade is already on the wishlist :)

Also, the texture overlay was only designed for video BG use, but I’ll make it available to be used on images as well in the upcoming update.

Cheers

Hello, your template looks amazing, I am about to purchase it but I didn’t find a reference that it is a multilanguge template.

Is there an option for a Mulitlanguage site with your template?

Do I HAVE to purchase and additional plugin to be able to do so?

(sorry, I’m new at wordpress)

Hey Dvoice! If you need a multilingual setup I would recommend WPML which is a separate commercial plugin – however if you just needed to translate the template into one langauge, there’s plenty of suitable free solutions such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/codestyling-localization/

Cheers

Hi Salient! I’m putting together a WooCommerce site and I need different headers OR nectar sliders on my category pages. I know that I can do this if I use a category shortcode on each page with page parent set to default, but this method does not allow for the WooCom sidebar filters which i desperately need. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hey RenderRebel!

Unfortunately modding the actual category pages instead of using shortcodes would require some custom development. It is odd that WooCommerce doesn’t allow some of their widgets to be used when using shortcodes to populate content, so you might wanna check on their forums if there’s any workaround for this.

Cheers :)
