Great work 
Thanks a lot bolpent!
Going to use this theme again yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Awesome to hear ladydekade!
Wow you’ve added SO MUCH STUFF!!!
HI There, Never mind the cause of freezing page is am using your content and bandwidth issue . after i realize on the test mode, now after changed my own content its ruining awesome. I have one question where do you upload images in your ftp. i want to copy past all my gallery images and slider images in to one folder instead of upload via upload button in nectar slider. Where can i find the WP image gallery for the salient theme.Cheers
Hey aryanebert,
Good to hear! The image gallery is located in visual composer and can be used to simulate the Nectar Slider if that’s what you want, but it doesn’t have as many settings as it. Also, you can FTP images into your wp-content/uploads/2014/06 folder if you desire.
Cheers
Hi,
fantastic theme. I `ve a pre-sale question: I saw that the theme works with a “modified version of visual composer”, – is it possible to use with the visual composer addons for example “Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer” etc.?
thanks!
mike
Thanks Mike!
I haven’t tested with that plugin – but if it doesn’t work you could always deactivate the built in VC and use the raw plugin if you have a copy
Cheers
I’ve been unable to display any Font Awesome icons, others seem to display.
Anywhere a FA icon is referenced, in the blog, i the social media items, or when added using nectar icon shortcodes they do not display.
http://www.chrispowellphotography.com/2014/05/19/london-zoo/ http://www.chrispowellphotography.com/ – On the Breakdown of services under Your Wedding, Your Love Story.Any help will be appreciated as I’m drawing a blank troubleshooting this issue now.
Thanks Chris
Found the issue, CSS is referencing //netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.0.3/css/font-awesome.css?ver=3.9.1 instead of a local copy in the css folder of the theme. Where is this reference made, I can’t find it in any of the template files. If I dynamically make the change in Chrome Developer tools all the icon’s appear.
Hey cmpowell125,
The font awesome is enqueued in the functions.php – perhaps this was cached to load from the wrong destination?
Cheers
Thanks, I’m checking all my plugins as something is calling it from the wrong location. If I hardcode a link in to the local copy in the header file it works fine. Thanks for your response, I’ll be back in touch if I need any further assistance.
You’re very welcome
Hey nectar, i downloaded your theme and completed my website. I just can’t update the theme to the new one. Im scared i might lose everything i built already. Is there anyway i can update without losing my content?
Please help
Hey Greenants,
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
Hi, Is it possible in Gallery Only/Lightbox mode to display the tags on the right hand side? If this could be accomplished that would be phenomenal!
And in lightbox mode, if a particular project had multiple images, would there be a way to move through them?
Thank you!!!
One more thing, can the videos be displayed larger in lightbox mode?
Hey AmyNYC,
1. As of now that would require some custom development – but I’ve noted the idea
2. The you could only allow a lightbox gallery to use a separate set of images from the main portfolio items on the single project page.
3. It would require editing the files to accommodate the larger size, are you using self hosted or embeds?
Cheers
Hi,
Maybe is discussed but I didn’t find.
I use pagination on single post with <-page break-> insert. I need to change the style to custom CSS (different colour, style, center etc.) or at least to be same as main navigation style.
How I can change the style?
Thank you.
Hey plgospodinov, can you share the URL so I can see the page to assist
Cheers
Hello, I made one print screen – I hope will be enough.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/g1vxkofrtkk58x7/Capture.JPGAlso maybe will be good to move the pagination on the single post above the custom share buttons, tags and custom related posts.
You would need to go into the text tab on your editor and wrap it in a div with a class you could target – i.e
<div class="page-break"> <!--nextpage--> </div>And then add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.page-break p {
text-align: center;
}
Cheers
Thank you for the answer.
And what about the other issue – how to move wp_link above rest code just after the post text? I tried, but all the times it moves the pagination on the top
Here is one screenshot what I want
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zb2dbxunj5vpzcg/wp_link.pngYou’re welcome
Since it automatically gets placed under the post – you’d need to modify the positioning with a filter. Check out this post in regards: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/position-conflicts-nextpage-jetpack
Hi,
Yes, thank you for the great help once again!
Removing wp_link_pages () from single.php and adding filter in functions.php on the theme
function jeherve_custom_pagination( $content ) {
if( is_singular() ) {
$content .= wp_link_pages('echo=0');
}
return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content','jeherve_custom_pagination', 1 );
is working like a charm.
Good to hear!
Cheers
There is over 230 lines of css genereated in the head. I want to move this to a single file.
I am not interested in changing the styles after this point so not sorries about the php writing.
Where do I disable this mass of css being written to the head?
Many thanks
Hey digiRich,
there’s a feature coming in the next update to allow you to move them into a static file
If you wanted to do it right now it would require enquing another css file that contained the output seen in the head and also removing this from the functions.php
nectar_colors_css_output();
nectar_custom_css_output();
if(!empty($options['use-custom-fonts']) && $options['use-custom-fonts'] == 1){
include('css/fonts.php');
}
Cheers
Great, great theme! I’m a big fan.
But if I could make one suggestion, unlimited sidebars would be an awesome additional feature!
Thanks steph-studiothink!
That’s an item already on the wishlist – but you could use a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/ or http://www.woothemes.com/woosidebars/ for now
Cheers
Hi there,
First of all congratulations for your awesome work!
Let’s suppose I have a website which needs three page ‘templates’. One for the homepage, a second one for the contact page and a third one for every other website’s page. The question focuses on the third ‘template’ that will be used for every other page of the website.
I would like every page to have a different header image, only by adding a featured image through WP’s standard page administration, without having to create countless ‘Templates’.
This image would have to appear on the header section (under the menu), be full width and responsive and not be limited to the main text area width. It would have to look like the homepage slider (without of course being a slider, or have sliding text, effects etc.).
To clarify more, the ‘template’ layout should be as the following example. Menu width: 3/3, 100% Featured image width 3/3, 100% Main Content width 2/3, 66,6% + right column with e.g. contact details 1/3, 33,3% (100% in total) Footer width: 3/3, 100% with some content, menu, copyright etc.
Does your theme support the use of WP Featured Image on the page’s header area? It does not even have to be WP’s featured image. I just need to know if I can do it in any way. I just try to avoid creating endless templates. It would be nice to be able to add a header image as soon as I add the page text.
If it cannot be accomplished though your theme, do you think that buying something like ‘Visual Composer for WordPress’ would work with your theme to help me accomplish this?
It could be something like the following example, but without having to create a different template for every page.
http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266Thank you in advance for your time, effort and help.
Thanks ITIS!
There’s actually a page header settings meta box which exists on every page and would allow you to upload an image that will display full width right under the menu as soon as you create the page. Here’s an example of the page header in use http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/shop/ though it does not have to have the parallax effect enabled thus allowing it to also be a static image with no effects.
The theme also comes with a modified version of Visual Composer already installed – here’s a video that goes over using it so you can get a feel for what it’s like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4mt0lOJ888
Cheers
Thank you very much!
You couldn’t have been more analytical and helpful!!!
You’re very welcome
Hi! Look at this 1st blog: http://laurenecastor.com/contact/ And this 2nd one: http://mirror-network.com/contact/
In the first one, the content has padding on both sides ; on the second one, the content displays in a full background width. I can’t find anywhere in the dashboard where you can control this difference… I tried to change the characteristics of content rows via the visual editor by changing the the property of rows, but it doesn’t change anything, do you know why? Thank you very much!
Hey LaureneCastor!
There was an option added in v4.0 called “Extended Responsive Design”, it’s located in the General Settings tab of the Salient Options Panel. Activate that and you’ll get the layout you’re seeking
Cheers
Hi there,
I am using a widgetised sidebar with a menu showing. I changed the background colour successfully, however I can’t seem to get the text colour to change. Can you advise please? I have already selected the text colour to be black, but it only changes colour when a mouse is hovering over it.
Thank you in advance
Hey 312Media,
Can you share the URL of the page in question so I can assist?
Cheers
PS – I just realised that you cannot add a URL on a colomn inside another row. Like in a row-in-a-row.
This must be a flaw? can you add this in your next update?
Hey Peter, i’ve noted it down
Hi there,
What a great theme it is! I’m having issues with contact form. When I’m using my google apps email to send contact forms, its not sending them to me. I’ve to change that email to @gmail.com address.
Please suggest.
Thanks!
Hey adiojack!
Can I see a URL to the contact form so I can test it out?
Cheers
Thank you for response. Your service and template are the BEST!!
www.mysterymonks.com
Also with woo commerce when I use orders@mysterymonks.com, it sends emails from mysterz2@just105.justhost.com
And when I use 9719073@gmail.com, I receive mails from 9719073@gmail.com and everything works right.
mysteryz2 is the username in just host ftp
I’ve also switched my hosting from dream host to just host thinking that the problem was with dream host
So what do you think?
Hey again! Have you also confirmed that when you deactivate Salient for another theme the email problem corrects itself?
Hi,
At this point, it won’t be possible to change theme. Is there an alternative way to check this?
Thanks!
Just to clarify the issue – you’re saying that emails go through correctly on your forms when you use a gmail address but not with your google apps email?
Correct!
Got it – since Salient doesn’t modify the CF7 plugin in anyway it’s unlikely it has anything to do with this specifically – switching themes for a moment to test could confirm this, but since you can’t – the step step might be to write in google support or the company you’re using to point your domain at that service to verify everything is ok
Hi. I will also leave a ticket for this bug, but hope you can help me out before that, as this is an urgent matter…
I have made a lot of text-boxes with icons. I wanted to move them into another row, but I cant drag and drop. I will need to create a new box inside the row, as I cannot place my existing boxes inside. I can do this ok though with text-boxes. However, there is also a bug here. First I will have to create an empty textbox in the new row, before I am allowed to drag and drop. When I do this though, I am able to delete the empty box, and now the rest of the rows will now also accept that I drag and drop new content.
Hey Peter, I will need to verify that’s a bug with Salient specifically or VC as Salient doesn’t modify the drag/drop behavior of elements in that plugin.
I have no idea… But I screenrecorded it and uploaded it to this ticket, and you can have a look at it :0)
231000
PS is there a reason you did not include the VC frontend part as well? And is it something you can recommand and will it work with your theme?
The Salient visual composer was forked before the frontend editor was added so it would take quite a bit to convert all of Salients specific custom elements to work in that fashion. It’s still a possibility it will get added, but there’s no ETA. If you need to use it, you’d have to disable the Salient VC and use the raw pluign.
Cheers
Is there a way to change the black bar with filters? Its too dark for my theme…
http://dyrepraksis.dk.linux63.unoeuro-server.com/ydelser/Depending on what color you change it to, additional css will be needed to accommodate the filter links
body #portfolio-filters-inline {
bbackground-color: #CCCCCC;
}
Finally – one last suggestion, which I have found lacking through out your whole theme:
You should go through every single option again and enable internal linking, which should update automatically. Way too many places (e.g. when inserting short-codes) you have to insert the link manually. This also being e.g. background videos.
In the end of the day I am scared that I will experience tonnes of dead links. Cos page-names do change when SEO-optimizing and such.
http://dyrepraksis.dk.linux63.unoeuro-server.com/Thanks for the additional suggestion
Hi again. One thing your pricing schema is really lacking of is a colomn link. I wanted to A: Make the whole box clickable so that you could go directly to the product. B: At least the headline should have the option to have a link to it.
http://dyrepraksis.dk.linux63.unoeuro-server.com/priser/Hey, it was intended to use button links at the bottom as the demo shows – but i’ve noted the idea down for the wishlist
Also, first I tried just to add a space, but it was automatically removed, so I will need some content just to fill it up. But still it behaves in a wrong manner. Def. something you should look up upon in your coming update :0)
Thanks for noting
Hi Mate. I think you misunderstood me (bad english – my bad)... but the price list is still not working.
Can you open a ticket in regards with your login credentials so I can assist further?
thank you very much… ticket 232815
Thanks – I’ll be with you as soon as I can
thanks for sorting it out
You’re welcome
Hi. I believe the price-schema was originally designed to be of same height. (Based on the fact that there is no left-line).
However, there is no functionality to make all the boxes same height, so that it looks more orderly.
How do I fix that? Also, this should be included in your next update I think.
http://dyrepraksis.dk.linux63.unoeuro-server.com/priser/Hey, there’s already script in place to make all of the heights the same – it appears the issue is that most of your pricing tables contain no unordered list (only the first appears to). If you add one in to each, it should work as intended.
