Hello!

While I’ve had luck centering the logo through various CSS styles I’ve run across the site, I’ve found that, when I set a logo to be a certain size, it extends everything (including the header height) to be that size. (If I want the logo to be 200px high, for example, then not only is the logo 200px high, but the entire header height is, as well. Is there a way to control the header height altogether?

PS: I was able to shrink the header somewhat by using this CSS. But I still get too much text underneath the nav:

header#top #logo { min-width: 300px; height: 150px; }

PPS: This helped me….

header-outer {

height: 80px!important; }

Hey again!

This would indeed require some custom css – but as you found out one of the ways you could tackle it would be to set a fixed height :)

Cheers

Hello,

I just upagreded this great theme for my main website and I cannot find where is the new option “to force or disable the transparent header on a page by page basis”... Where is it :o ?

Hey essentiafr, it’s located in the page header settings box at the bottom of every page :)

A little help in best practices.

1. Fiitting things on a screen

I have a black header with a menu. I created a home page with a row and a Nectar Slider. Flexible Slider Height = true Display Full Width? = true Fullscreen Slider? = true

I would like a row at the bottom of the screen to occupy 10% or height or at a fixed height to use it as a form.

I guess what I would need is a way for me to set the Nectar Slider height to 90% of height (where height=(Screen size – header height) and the row after it to 10%.

2. Best practices for guaranteeing good Mobile interface.

Sorry to ask so many questions, but you have done such a great job and because of the videos I think this may be something many people need to do well.

Hey Steve!

1. Unfortunately there’s no way to force a 90% or certain values like that without doing the custom development to the nectar-slider.js file – however, you could get closer to that functionality by removing the fullscreen option and just keeping the flexible height on with a decent large height.

2. Since Salient is inherently responsive there’s not too much you need to do on your end, however it would be best practice to make use of the % values for the row top/bottom padding in order to allow scaling.

Hello, how can I remove the hearts from this page?

I tried what’s here but it didn’t work:

http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/47165/search/

Thanks!

Hey artblend!

Add this into your custom css box:

.portfolio-items .nectar-love-wrap {
  display: none!important;
}

Cheers

Tried that and it didn’t work. (?)

It seems you have an unclosed css rule in your custom css box which is breaking all the css after it – if you can open a ticket in regards I’d be glad to sort it for you :)

hello,

GREAT theme by the way! :) i have a lot of fun!

i am a newbie and unfortunately i have a problem with die video bg. i do not see the video bg in firefox (new version) or safari 5.0. it works well in chrome and newest safari version.

i have read the trouble shooting for video bg but with no result. maybe i have done something wrong.

i cannot find the .htaccess file in the wordpress root. so have tried to create one :)

i copy paste this in the file:

AddType video/mp4 mp4 AddType video/mp4 m4v AddType video/ogg ogv AddType video/webm webm AddType video/webm webmv

and i upload it via ftp. than the .htaccess file gets invisible. but nothing happend. so it it necessary to write the name of the video instead of “AddType video/mp4 m4v" ... ? or what else could be the reason? thanks in advance

Hey white29!

I actually am indeed seeing the video BG on the current FF and Safari 5 (on windows) – Are you possible using Mac OS instead?

Great design btw, it looks awesome :)

Cheers

hello, thank you… it is a lot of fun with that theme! really cool!!

i some reason it works now also in the older safari version. but i have still the problem with firefox 29.0 i see only the loading circle. i use mac OS

Because you’re using a pretty permalink structure, you must of had an htaccess file in the root of your WP already (since that’s what drives it) so the file might have just been invisible to you from your FTP client to begin with. I would try reaching out to your hosting company and ask them to please ensure the mime types:

AddType video/mp4 mp4 AddType video/mp4 m4v AddType video/ogg ogv AddType video/webm webm AddType video/webm webmv

can you added :)

Hi there,

I did a search and was hoping for some updated info on how to perhaps make the sticky menu at the top scroll with the rest of the page? My site shows video on the front page and it’s very hard to see the entire video between the bottom of the browser and the bottom of the sticky menu. There’s barely enough space and trying to line it up is like backing a powerboat into a slip at a marina :-)

Would love to turn that off if possible.

Hey mrpiano!

Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:

#header-outer {
   position: absolute!important;
}

thank you!

You’re welcome :)

Hello Phil!,

Awesome Theme.

I need to modify the color of the “iwt-icon” using a style.css in a child theme. But i’m not able to overwrite the parent theme important class. The child theme is loading correctly in the browser if it try to view it. Can you guide me on this please.

Thanks

Hey zaftab021! :)

Add this into the child theme stylesheet:

body .iwt-icon .icon-default-style[class^="icon-"] {
    color: #000 !important;
}

Cheers

phil it worked like a charm +1

Good to hear :)

Hello,

First of all, Salient is a fantastic theme. Simply love using. I’ve tried a few others. This is one of the easiest to use and is also feature rich.

I hit a small snag and I’m unable to solve it even after checking through the comments section.I’m a noob in wordpress design, therefore visual composer is the biggest asset for me. This is a slightly long comment for I want to be clear. Sorry about this.

Since yesterday, I have been getting this error

“Your page layout was either created with a previous Visual Composer version or you have elements/text located outside of VC rows (which could have occured if you switched into the classic editor view to make changes). Visual Composer requires all content be contained within rows to render correctly – before converting your layout to the new version, make sure to read this page”

I cloned a portfolio page had made a small update (basically inserted a row) and when I edited the page again, it started displaying this message. I’m not able to figure out why or how i can fix this. I tried going back to the older version of the page and was was hit with the same message. I tried with a different page altogether and got this again.

I have a wordpress installed in the subfolder and the site url pointing to the main site by modifying the require(’./wp-blog-header.php’) line. This, I did a day before the message started appearing. Don’t know if they have any connection.

Would you be able to helping me understand this and eventually solve this.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have submitted a ticket with the credentials.Thanks a lot in advance :-)

Thanks! I’ll be with you asap :)

Thanks a lot! That’ll really help!

Greetings, my question is:

1) on the live preview we see for the HOME page different templates (LANDING PAGE, MLP, PEC, BASIC STRUCTURE, BLOG) however in the installer under the HOME templates I only find for HOME (Recent posts, Recent work, Recent work/posts, Slider Only). We purchased it assuming we would get what was advertised.

Maybe we are looking in the wrong spot.

Can you pls advise.

Thanks! c

Hey Anubi1!

There’s 3 different dummy data sets included with the download from ThemeForest (that reflect each of the three demos) – the “page templates” you’re looking at in the page attributes are not what you’re after, those are just quick layouts that were included with Salient 1.0 which kind of became obsolete with the addition of the page builder. Please see this in regards to get rollin’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wKJFYCZN1U&list=PLL7Ay33CTsIAVMPtw3KPsAwDzr_XoVLeq&index=1

Cheers

Hello!

This theme seems very good, I have only one question before buying. Is it possible to attach an image on the nectar slider that is not the background? For example if I want a company logo over the lead text of the slider.

Best regards, Johan

Hey Johan,

Yes – you could add that in the caption field of the slide :)

Cheers

Hi,

I have two instances of the portfolio on two separate pages (Projects page / Testimonials page).

I would like to ensure that items placed on the ‘testimonials page’ portfolio do not appear in the main ‘Projects page’ portfolio.

I have a category of ‘testimonials’ setup within the portfolio admin panel, but as I add new items, using the category of ‘testimonials’, they still appear on the ‘projects page’.

What can I do to stop the portfolio items that are intended for the testimonials page stop appearing on the projects page as well?

Do i need to use an attribute / filter?

Any direction / explanation as to how this works would be great.

Cheers,

I am unsure, how do I go about finding out? ‘All’ is definitely selected but where to turn it off? Individual posts or is there a global setting?

In the portfolio 1 (main), the attribute and category of ‘Testimonial’ is not selected, In portfolio 2, it is only the ‘testimonial’ category and attribute that is selected. How do i switch off ‘all’?

Thanks for the quick response as always.

‘All’ does not seem to be an option within categories or attributes

Is there anyway you can open a ticket in regards so I can check the backend for you? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Hi! It seems support@themenectar.com not working (returned letter). Thanks.

Hey Sosiskin, the correct place to get support is either here (if the queries are small) or http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ – If you want to email me directly you can use themenectar@gmail.com :)

Hello,

Is there any way to customize an individual woocommerce template. such as templates > single-product > add-to-cart > single.php

I need to add an additional button in that template. Thanks

Hey odotjdot!

this would need to be done through WooCommerce filters – I would recommend reaching out on the plugin forums to get the best help as this isn’t really specific to the theme you’re using.

Cheers

Hi, Great theme. Very intuitive in stark contrast to some of the other themes I’ve wrestled with in the past. Is there a simple way to add the social icons to the header as well as the footer area. Do I need to use something like Simple Social Icons plugin ? Thanks.

Hey shapeshifter7, thanks a lot!

Currently you can indeed add social icons to the header/footer from the theme options panel – have you enabled them in both locations already? (The header can only show them in the secondary nav and the footer in the copyright section) or were you looking to have them display in different locations?

Cheers

Hello, Does this theme support bbpress and buddypress

Hey syalih! Only in a basic way (styles were included to ensure no major conflicts, but you might need to put in a little work to make it perfect)

Hi Nectar. Regarding my TweenMax conflict error with ThemePunch, is there a section in the init.js that I can comment out for now? I see the code, but don’t want to break something. ThemePunch has told me that additional logic was added to prevent this, but this may not be the case. Thanks as always!

Hey Joe,

The tweenmax include does indeed occur inside of the init.js towards the bottom (search TweenMax to end up at the right area) so it would be worth trying to comment/delete that out first :)

Cheers

Hi,

There seems to be some compatibility issues between salient and the Optimizepress 2.0 plugin. This was a question that was asked before however I’m experiencing quite a few issues.

The main issues involve responsiveness of the theme – it cuts off elements of the page even when the browser size is 960 and instead of elements being full width, they are boxed off at 960 width.

Hey Jaimeemaree,

Can you share the URL of your site so I can check the issue?

Cheers

Hi, I sent through a message directly to you but I didn’t receive a response, do you know if there’s any update on compatibility with Optimizepress 2.0?

Hey – sorry, I just found the email now. It appears you have a coming soon page active. Could you allow me to bypass?

~deleted, wasn’t actually a bug haha. Awesome theme

Hey fit3k, glad you got it sorted :)

+1 the need for Nectar Slider to stop the infinite looing

Thanks for the +1 Steve :)

Here’s another thing for the wishlist on future updates (if possible ofcourse. Still a great theme tho) » an option to have the shop layout similar to this: http://themeforest.net/item/signup-portfolio-photography-theme/full_screen_preview/8245590

Sort of a slide-show-ish display that has more eye candy, useful for creatives looking to sell illustrations, paintings, custom made stuff, etc.

Hey calin! Thanks for the suggestion :)
