Hello !

I want to make the fields smaller. How I can do that ? Here is the page: http://moramart.ro/?portfolio=model-1-monument-funerar

For that calculator i’m using the plugin called: calculated-fields-form.1.0.1

Thank you !

Hey!

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

 body input[type="text"], body textarea, input[type="email"], input[type="password"], body input[type="tel"], body input[type="url"], input[type="search"], body input[type="date"] {
  padding: 4px!important;
}

Thanks !

You’re welcome :)

Hey: I’m trying to add the single team member example shown here:

1) I like how all the team members align with single image and overlay text http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266

and then again here:

I like the way you have the “row” in two different colors etc. I guess columns touch and expand full width) but can’t seem to figure out how you did that.

http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266

is there a way for me to upload just a few pages of demo content?

thanks, so far loving the theme.

Hey nancy1of1,

If you need specific pages of the demo data, just open a ticket in regards and I’ll supply it for you – but I also would encourage you to watch this and the other tutorials to get a better understanding for working with the theme:

Thanks for the video. It didn’t actually cover either of the questions that were what I was asking about but was a solid review of what I already knew. Will you please review the questions posed again and rework your answer. You’re correct, I would rather know how to do it correctly.

Hey – both of your links lead to the home page of the demo since you copied the URL from the themeForest demo iframe – but the team member style it sounds like you’re looking for is just the “meta overlaid” style available in the team member element used in columns that are in a “full width content row” – And this video covers what I believe you’re asking for the 2nd question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpJWWM4BAbo

Hi!!! I’ve a little trouble with a pop-up plugin.

Can you help me?

The plugin is http://themeforest.net/item/wp-express-popup/7589392

I have insert popup on a page, http://www.forleader.it/test-popup/ proble is that header and footer section remaining on respct popoup…

Thanks!!!

Hey drnoizer,

it seems your plugin is adding the lightbox inside of the main content area so this is expected due to the z-index of the header/footer being higher. If this was placed on a page with a normal amount of content it might less noticeable. Or you could search for a plugin that adds the lightbox below the footer as prettybox does to avoid this conflict.

Cheers

Hi Nectar. I have searched and search but cannot find any HORIZONTAL alignment? I have a row with 3 different coloumns, where I wanted e.g. the image in one of them to be horizontal aligned.

But in the edit-option you only provide Vertical Alignment. Is there a reason for that and is there a workaround?

Hey Peter,

If you need to horizontally align images, use the image alignment option on the image element itself

Cheers

Hi. What I mean is if you have e.g. a headline i a coloumn, an image in another and a 2nd image in coloumn 3. There is no functionality to horisontal center-align all the different elements.

Hey – Can you let me know why setting both images to center align and then the column which is holding the text to center align would not work? http://i.imgur.com/DMzbwy3.jpg

Hey bud, If I want to put this function in my child functions page what block of code do I start and finish from that includes:

  if(!empty($down_arrow) && $down_arrow == 'on') { $slider .=  '<a href="#" class="slider-down-arrow"><i class="icon-salient-down-arrow icon-default-style"> <span class="ie-fix" /> </i></a>'; }  

Assume I can put in a new icon in this part …?

<i class="icon-salient-down-arrow icon-default-style"> </i>

Cheers Rich

If the icon is not included in the ones already available in the theme then it would need to be enqueued in a child theme stylesheet via font-face :)

Any chance of an example please bud, not getting very far with this…

Hey again – a working example can already be seen within the theme itself. The icomoon files are enqueued in the style.css at the bottom and them assigned to classes also in the same part in the file. They can then freely be called by using that class like this:

 <i class="icon-salient-down-arrow icon-default-style"> </i>

Hello, Please ignore Ticket: #222653. I fixed it

Good to hear chachaty!

Cheers

Hey again!

When i share the site on social media, Facebook or linked in, I only see a white screen preview, with ¨home¨ written. I guess this is because I have a white background. is it possible to show an image instead of this..?

Thanks

Hey CarlosCampo,

Use the plugin Yoast SEO in order to define open graph tags for your page and set an image that will be used those sites :)

Cheers

Thanks Mr Nectar, I will have a look

You’re welcome :)

Hello ThemeNectar, I would like to remove the line below menu-items in the footer widget Custom Menu. I use a child-theme and tried different lines of code but the transparant line seems to be in the index-code. (line 154 in my website)

I tried this code first:
#footer-outer #footer-widgets .col ul li { border-bottom: none!important; }
And later i tried:
#footer-outer #footer-widgets .col ul li { border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)!important; }

What can i do? Thanks

Hey jaspersuijten,

Your code looks fine – anyway you can share your URL so I can see why it’s not applying?

Cheers!

Hey again – This should work:

body #footer-outer #footer-widgets .col ul li {
    border-bottom: none!important;
}

Hi guys! I noticed an issue on Windows 8 tablets/touch-screens. When ‘smooth scrolling’ is enabled (and I love this), scrolling via the touch-screen becomes nearly impossible on the site (especially in IE11, but even chrome has issues). It gets stuck or scrolls really really slow… No problem on Android or iOS devices though… You think it’s possible to enable smooth scrolling and only disable it in windows 8 with touch enabled? I have no idea if a rule like this could be created… :-) I think it’s because Windows 8 enables smooth scrolling by default with your fingers, so it becomes smooth+smooth scrolling, which gets a bit slippery hehehe… So for now i just disabled smooth scrolling. Hope I informed you guys, hope you could imagine a workaround! Good luck!

Hey Matthias! Actually what happened was native(ish) smooth scrolling was enabled in Salient by default for Chrome so using the option for smooth scrolling in the options panel is now not preferred as the only perk you’d get is smooth scrolling for IE/Safari (but Firefox/Chrome are really what most users will be on). The native smooth scrolling for Chrome also has much better performance – you can check it out on the new Ascend demo :)

Thank you so much for this feedback! Kind regards, Matthias

You’re very welcome :)

Hi there,

I did respond to your request regarding giving you access to my site about 20mins after you asked yesterday (24hrs ago)

Not sure if there was an issue but can you look at ticket No: #222089

Cheers Andy

Hey Andy,

Sorry for the delay – sometimes tickets can take over a day to be served :)

Cheers

Hi there, Just wanted to say MEGA THX for fixing the page. Not sure exactly how I put some rogue code in there as I just created a standard column layout. Would be good to understand so I don’t do it again.

Anyway, really like the layout. Thank you.

Perhaps you might consider making a dedicated video player/playlist tool or layout structure that would be more conducive to the standard portfolio for the future – for this type of video need. I looked at players but they all crashed when using the composer.

Thank you again Andy

You’re welcome! The rogue code was from the video embed you had – Vimeo usually has that default text/link after the video that you most likely tried to delete by missed the end of it, leaving an open anchor tag.

And thanks for the suggestion :)

When using posts in ‘Video’ mode it seems that the video gets preloaded when a viewer lands on the page. That’s not too big a deal for a single post but for the category view it really seems slow.

Is there a way to make the default preload setting ‘false’ for video and only load it when clicked?

Hey again – you can add them into the entry-video.php file in the includes/post-templates directory.

ok, do you think you could give me a hint of what and where to enter? I just want to force preload to false.

Sure, this line:

$video_output .= ' poster="'.$video_poster.'"]';

would become:

$video_output .= ' preload="none" poster="'.$video_poster.'"]';

Cheers

How would I remove or hide the post meta info so that I don’t display ‘author, date, cat, comment count’?

Thanks.

Please disregard. I found the answer on your support forum. I simply add .meta-date, .meta-category, .meta-comment-count, .meta-author { display: none!important; } to the custom css.

By the way, where does that custom CSS get stored so I can back it up?

Hey – glad to hear you found the solution :)

If you would like to back up the custom css box just use the export option in your theme options panel.

Cheers

Hello!

Is there any way to have a color overlay over the nectar slider image? I want to either change the image opacity or have a color overlay, so the text can be better displayed.

Thanks

Hey ATPHOTOSYS,

Activate the texture overlay for your slide and then add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:

.active_texture {
  background-image: none!important;
  background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
}

Cheers

I’m using the woocommerce [add_to_cart id=”17”] shortcode to insert product cart buttons in my posts.

The problem is that I’d like to use my own style of ‘add to cart’ button instead of the default theme styles so that it really stands out.

I can’t just change the main button class in the theme as this will affect all button instances. How do I create my own style for that one button that is wrapped in that short code?

I’ve tried a div style but it doesn’t change the button, just the container.

Thanks in advance.

I posted a private ticket yesterday. Please check.

Still waiting on a response from the private ticket I posted a couple of days ago. Would be great it we can solve this :)

Hey trocity, sorry for the delay – support does not go in full force on weekends. Thanks for you patience :)

When using posts in video format the post admin page says ‘You must include both formats.’

I’ve only uploaded the .m4v format and the player seems to work on all my devices.

Do you say this just for good advice or will there be deeper issues than just compatibility with all players?

It’ll be a lot of work for me to make two video files and upload them so I’d rather avoid that is possible.

Hey again trocity,

If you don’t include a webm than the video will fail to play in certain browsers. Please refer to this video tutorial in regards :)http://youtu.be/FLU9Pxo_RD8?t=5m

Cheers

The post format I’m using is ‘Video’ which has no mention of webm, just m4f and ogg.

That’s different then, I thought you meant video BG’s – the self hosted video player in WP has a flash fallback so you should be fine :)

Hi,

I’m trying to figure out how I can have an animated down arrow at the bottom of my page, above the comments section.

http://runesticks.com/

I’d like to the arrow to animate like this site, http://thelifecycle.roblutter.com/

Is this possible? Thanks in advance!!

chris

Hy Chris!

The only animated down arrow available in the theme exists as an option in the nectar slider currently. You might be able to make that work for you situation :)

Cheers

Ni Nectar. You gave me the following code below for launching a PDF document into a lightbox. For some reason, I’m unable to save this code when adding it to the Text tab of the Editor using the VC text element. Any other suggestions please? Thank you.

 <a href="http://your-url.com/your-file.pdf?iframe=true“&width=800&height=1000"></a>

You’re welcome and sorry, forgot to add pp class:

 <a class="pp" href="http://your-url.com/your-file.pdf?iframe=true&width=800&height=1000"></a>

Perfecto ! Works perfect. :) By the way, does the lightbox handle responsive sizes if viewed on tablet or phone? Thanks again.

It should, but since it’s for a pdf you might have to play with those height/width values or use css to shrink it appropriately :)

Hi ThemeNectar,

How come my chalkboard background image is low res on my about page?...thecravebar.com/about

What dimensions should I have my background image be set at? Thanks!

Hey again! for parallax images you should aim to have the width around 1800×900+

Cheers :)

Love you theme! Is there anyway to add the “hover” effect when hovering over a regular image? In the demo I see it only at the preview “about me images” or portfolio images. Thank you a lot.

Thanks lfranken!

You could use the visual composer image gallery element to do this too :)

Cheers

How do I get the post category description to show on my post categories?

Hey trocity,

Right now this would require modding the index.php file to include it.

would the best way be to use a child theme so I don’t loose the mod on updates?

Yes, that would indeed be the way to go
