Hello,

I’ve installed the theme and I like a lot. The best theme I’ve worked with so far. However, there’s are 2 problems.

1. I don’t see any button shortcode in my visual composer. No call to action buttons or normal ones.

I am editing a portfolio page and I want to do something similar to what you’ve done here right under the header: http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266 I’ve set up a full width content row, with red background and a image gallery on the left. On the right I want some text and a button like in the demo, but…

2. I can’t control the left and right paddings without writing html every time. The way it is now, the text box has no padding on the left/right

Hey calin_balea,

2. You can add column padding through the row settings – have you checked out this in regards? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpJWWM4BAbo

Hi,

Whenever I have a double column and place a single image in one side, it is always much smaller than it should be. At first I thought this may be due to padding but when I click the pencil icon for the column there is no column padding option so I am not sure what to do.

Thanks

Sure, add this in as well :)

 @media only screen and (max-width: 1000px)  {
    .portfolio-items .work-info-bg {
       opacity: 1 !important;
    }
}

Thanks for your awesome help. :)

You’re very welcome :)

Hi ThemeNectar,

First of all, thanks for making a great template with all the features and custom-options i was looking for!! and of course for the updates!

I noticed an error in your responsive.css when using the “Sticky Sidebar” in Boxed mode. The fixed width of the side-bar overrides the percentage in the responsive.css. When my browser width is between 1000px and 1105px the sticky sidebar drops on the right side. I also found the same error on your demo site: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/portfolio/blackbox/

I’ve added this to the custom css to override it and i’m hoping you’ll change it in the next update:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1300px) and (min-width: 1000px){ body.single-portfolio #sidebar.fixed-sidebar, body.single-portfolio #sidebar { width: 27.5% !important; } }

Keep up the good work!!

thanks

Joris

Hey Joris, good catch! I’ll handle that for the minor release due out shortly :)

Cheers

Hi, How do i get rit of the dates that are under the main title in the pictures of the portfolio. I use the portfolio as some kind of menu, and i present workshops trainings as wel in the pictures and that can be confusing, like that’s the date for the workshop. Hope you have a solution. Have you got some css magic to do this.

And what size should i use for a picture in the nectar slider as backup for mobile phones.

Thanks, Thomas

Hey Thomas,

1. There’s an option to disable dates in your portfolio options tab in the Salient options panel

2. Any size you need in a 16:9 aspect ratio – 1280×720 would be fine :)

Cheers

Hi,

Is there any way of enabling CSS text animations (like fade-in from left) on mobile? On other websites I’ve used visual composer themes in.. it worked fine, but it seems to be disabled for Salient.

Thanks!

Hey rashadsays,

It is indeed disabled intentionally because mobile devices tend to lag with the effect since it’s bound to a scroll event and won’t kick in on mobile until swiping has stopped – if you wanna turn them on search for:

 img.img-with-animation[data-animation="fade-in-from-left"]

In the responsive.css stylesheet and remove all rules around there to bring the functionality back in :)

Cheers!

Is there a way for the background videos to play on iphone and ipad? It shows a frozen image right now :cry:

Thank you!

Hey again – please see this in regards :)

Hello. If I have purchased this theme a long time ago do I have to pay all over again to make it look like the new versions? Or can i get a free update?

Thanks!

Hey adfierce! You actually get free updates for life :)

You can update by downloading a fresh copy from ThemeForest, deleting the current version you have on your server and uploading the new. I recommend using FTP, but you can use the WP dashboard if you prefer. You won’t lose any of your content or theme settings so don’t worry about that if you were

Cheers!

How do I delete, edit and modify Project Categories and Project Attributes. All I can find is how to add them.

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

 body #portfolio-filters {
    margin-top: 50px !important;
}

Thank you. Solved the issue! Your support is always the best.

You’re very welcome :)

Cheers

Is there any way to turn the Menu & footer off on certain pages? to basically make a Landing page.

Hey freebord, yes – on the page you desire to do that add this into the css box inside of the visual composer tab

 #header-outer, #header-space, #footer-outer {
  display: none!important;
}

Hi, Nice theme.

I have a question. I have been having a super hard time with the Ebor CPT … I am not sure what it does… for example, when I click on let’s say portfolio on the Main Menu, it gives me a different layout, and it happens also when I click on Blog… I’m not sure at all what is going on… I have asign the “Blog” template/page for posts and it still happens…

How can I get my portfolio and blog to display the correct templates?

I think this Ebor CPT thingy is messing me up, help! thanks :D

Never mind, it was a plugin from another template, thanks….

Hey BandFM! Glad to hear you’ve found the issue :)

1) i was wondering, is it possible to get the call to action, possibly at the top of the menu? also is it possible to change the font size.

It’s going to be a little challenging, the TF top banner works by putting the site content in an iframe to easily move everything down, but since you can’t do that you’ll have to manually move the header down to make room. Here’s the start to that – add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:

#call-to-action {
    position: fixed;
    width: 100%!important;
    top: 0;
}
#header-outer {
    top: 110px!important;
}
#header-space {
  height: 220px!important;
}

Okay so I’ll give this a try. Hope that when I do I’ll be able to change the font size and height of the call to action as well. Since I’d be changing the header position would it affect all pages? Like the ones where the call to action won’t be placed. I’ll let you know how it goes when I have tried. Again awesome support!!

You’re welcome! Yes, if the CTA is excluded on certain pages this poses a problem that would need to be solved through custom development or simply adding css in on the pages excluding to bring the header back to the top and reduce the header space :)

Hi! This theme is amazing! Works and looks super, theres nothing like it. Love it. But I have three questions.

1. Are you going to evolve the e-commerce more in the future? 2. Is it possible to add a sidebar on product page? 3. Any tips for something I can do with my Salient theme to make it more e-commerce advanced?

Many thanks, keep up the great job!

Thanks marcusalbertsson!

1. Yes, more eccommerce functionality is on the wishlist :)

2. yes, there’s an option for that in the theme options panel

3. It depends on what you’re looking for – but there are a lot of woocommerce plugins out there for various features.

Cheers

Hey ThemeNectar!

Unfortunately my galleries are still not loading at: https://cantedpictures.com/blog/black-white-photography/

Despite changing the init.js file to include “HTTPS” requests, the pages are still blank with the following error:

“GET https://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=https://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=https://cantedpictures.com/blog/black-white-photography&callback=jQuery1110032498458749614656_1400694956738&_=1400694956739 net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE”

Please let me know what steps I need to take to rectify this issue :)

Thanks again for all your hard work!

Hey again! I’m not sure that’s the reason why your plugin is not loading – the only scripting error i’m seeing is:

ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined
    ...ng,{easeInOutSine:function(b,f,c,a,e){return-a/2*(Math.cos(Math.PI*f/e)-1)+c},ea...
which is coming from the royal slider plugin – do you have any minfication plugins activate that might be causing this?

Hi i submitted an ticket could you take a look i’m really stuck, deleted to much in theme through ftp lost a lot of functionality as wll the whole salient theme nectar menu and can’t reupload the theme. ticket #218434

Thanks, Thomas

I think i solved it it was the blue hat turbo pluggin that stopped the theme from redownloading, know just reinstall some pictures and i think i’m good to go. Let you know if it didn’t work out. Thanks

Yes it’s solved

Hey Thomas, that’s good to hear :)

Cheers

There is one feature I’m looking for in a theme, and I’m sold.

Is it possible that the content inside an accordion will be loaded only when opened?

When I have many accordions in one page that contain a lot of data, so the page’s load time would be extremely slow.

Waiting for your reply.

Hey Kfir91, this would take some custom development as all the content on the page will load by default regardless whether it’s hidden in an accordion/tab or not.

Do you make custom work? If you do, how much would it cost me?

Unfortunately I’m too swamped to take on freelance work but you could consult a developer on envato studio in regards :)

Hi there, fantastic theme and super impressed with the constant and feature packed updates!

Quick question, on mobile menu, how can you have it so that when you have a menu item that is the parent of a drop down, clicking the word causes the child links to appear, rather than just clicking on the arrow?

I noticed on the ticketing site you mentioned editing the event handler in init.js, I think I’ve found the right line but no matter what I’ve tried I can’t seem to fix it (I’m positively awful with js).

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks a lot Phacin8! :)

The mod would indeed take place in the init.js file – this section:

$('#mobile-menu .container ul li:has(">ul") > a .sf-sub-indicator').click(function(){
    $(this).parent().parent().toggleClass('open');
    $(this).parent().parent().find('> ul').stop(true,true).slideToggle();
    return false;
});

would become:

$('#mobile-menu .container ul li:has(">ul") > a').click(function(){
    $(this).parent().toggleClass('open');
    $(this).parent().find('> ul').stop(true,true).slideToggle();
    return false;
});

Cheers

Thanks for coming back to me.

I must admit, I did try this initially, but all it seems to do is break the drop down functionality, neither clicking the arrow or word works after this amend.

I tried all manner of combinations on this line, but just can’t quite get it to work the way I want.

Hey – are you sure you’ve pasted it exactly as I wrote it? I’ve just tested and confirmed this should work as expected :)

Hi ThemeNectar,

Do you know if I can instal something like scroll iphone page? http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/ Maybe I could buy any plugin or code to add at Salient Theme? :)

I need put some floating extra menu Icon in large pages, that I have made with “salient”... could you help me, please?

Many thanks from Barcelona! ;) Pere

If you can have the links in the top header you can simply use this plugin for the animated scrolling http://wordpress.org/plugins/page-scroll-to-id/ :)

Thanks, but it is not possible because the header links to others pages… I know this plugin! maybe, do you have other possibilities? Thanks for your dedication!!!

You’re welcome – Unfortunately I’m not aware of other plugins to add this functionality but if you need another menu other than the top to hold the links it might take some custom development for the time being until this gets added into the theme by default

Hi!

Great theme! 1 question tho… your mobile menu looks good but does not test properly on my android phone. the “Pages” expansion works when I click on it but the “Features” arrow expansion does not work. Is this a bug in just the demo or are there some problems with the mega menu for mobile devices in general?

Thanks!

Also, on category pages is it possible to have an add to cart button underneath the product thumbnail instead of having to mouse over the image? I would want this for mobile purchasing efficiency. Thanks!

Hey spiralout1988,

1. I can’t replicate on my GS4 – what android deice are you using to test?

2. It would take some custom css – but it’s possible :)

Cheers!

Hi ThemeNectar,

I would like to add some members only pages/content to my site that I’ve created using the Salient WordPress theme.

Are there any plugins that you recommend for this purpose?

Many thanks.

Hey spidermonkeydp

I haven’t personally played with this one, but it seems to be exactly what you need :)http://wordpress.org/plugins/members/

Cheers

Hi

Love the theme :)

was hoping to create a navigation bar similar the the link below.

http://www.beatsbydre.com/home

you will see that its slightly transparent and that the banner image shows through slightly – can we do this on the salient?

also they have a mega menu with images – please will you let me know if this is possible with salient?

Thanks :)

Hey DNDS!

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

 #header-outer {
  background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.8)!important;
}

2. This would require the use of a plugin like ubermenu

Cheers

Thanks so much :)

You’re welcome :)
