Hi there – how can I reduce the padding height between the nag items in the drop down menu?

Hey sirmary,

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

.sf-menu ul li a {
    padding: 8px 12px!important;
}

Hi, Salient How to add custom product tab to WooCommerce single product page? Thanks in advance!

Hey luci30!

This would be a question better suited for the WooCommerce forums since it’s not Salient specific

Cheers

Love Salient. For some reason my full width portfolio slider only display three blocks at a time and leaves the fourth row white. What am I doing wrong? Would love that fourth row to contain a portfolio block as well. Have been choosing full width in the settings. Appreciate your help. Here’s a link to how it is displaying. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qt1murb7vmtu4ao/Screen%20Shot%202014-07-26%20at%205.11.11%20PM.png

Hey – I’m now on my retina Macbook using Chrome but can’t replicate this behavior. Do you also see this on the live demo for the portfolio element using the constrain max cols to 4 on this page? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/

It shows up great there. So strange right? Not sure what would be causing it in my unique situation.

Indeed it’s very odd – I am double checking now on my Mac and regardless of the size I make the browser window I can’t get this to occur. Have you attempted to check your site on a second computer to verify this?

Hi. Great theme. Very polished.

I have added a semi transparent background box to the heading on the nectar slider using the following code:

.swiper-slide .content h2 { padding: 4px 0px; display: inline; position: relative; left: 10px; background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); line-height: 85px; }

I adjusted the line height so that the heading box and caption box were just touching and nicely blended.

However when the browser is adjusted to a site smaller than the max screen size the two boxes overlap and make a darker section.

Is there a way to stop this? Thanks.

Ok I’ll try it. Is that in the init.js section where the rest went?

Thanks that seems to have fixed it all. Amazing.

Great to hear :)

Cheers

Hey Nectar, wondering if a Nectar Slide can randomize the images or videos.

Hey jcamilo! Unfortunately there’s no option for that yet and it would require a mod to the functions.php file in the Nectar Slider section.

Since updating to the latest version my layout has broken. If you look to the right of the page you should notice a white gap, I don’t have any custom CSS added. http://www.owenprescott.com/

I’m also having trouble uploading the theme files to W3Total for caching so I wonder if both issues are related. Before I installed the new Salient version the theme files were uploaded fine.

Also can I have the “Home – Multi Layer Parallax” template? I notice you posted it before however the pastebin has been removed.

Hey owenprescott,

1. I actually can’t see the gap currently, what browser are you seeing this on?

2. http://pastebin.com/KY2DSBxq

Hey Nectar,

I noticed that when I updated to the newest version of Salient my header logo positioning got messed up. At first it it bumped the navigation menu below the logo and now it bumped the logo all the way to the left instead of being within the main content container.

Thanks!

Hey althaua,

please share your URL so I can see :)

Cheers

Hey – i’m seeing that you have the full width header option active in your header options tab. If you turn that off this should go away :)

Hello Nectar,

I’m trying to limit the width of a text box within a column so I entered “custom-text-class” in the Extra class name option of the text box in visual composer. In the custom css panel of the page I entered:

.custom-text-class { max-width: 250px; }

It’s still not working though, how do I properly call my extra class? I’m having the same problem calling h1 tags on the page. I tried typing

h1 { font-size: 38px; }

in the custom css panel but it does not work. Thanks!

Hey althaua,

Can you share the URL of this page so I can check on the css? Also in regards to the h1 override you’ll just need to change that to:

body h1 { font-size: 38px!important; }

Cheers

I think I got this one figured out. Thanks for the help!

Glad to hear :)

Is there a way to remove the title / portfolio navigation in the portfolio posts?

Hey timiota,

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

.project-title {
  display: none!important;
}
html body.single-portfolio .container-wrap {
    padding-top: 40px !important;
}

Cheers

I just purchased the theme and I am loving it so far. However, I am facing some issues with the “Visual Composer” of the theme.

On my test installation, all the Elements are showing up just fine, but the production install, only a few (7, precisely) is showing up and I can’t add/edit elements that are missing. Yes, I have the latest version of the theme. Yes, I have the latest version of WordPress also.

I tried deactivating > delete the theme and the re-upload and reactivated it, but that didn’t help. I also tried disabling the the plugins also. How do I solve this?

Hey PixellCode,

Can you verify that all the elements are set to display in Settings > Visual Composer section of your admin panel?

Cheers

1) Is it possible to have the blogposts preview layout appear as they do in Portfolio Masonry Style Four?

For example, where it says ‘Sort Portfolio’ and you have those categories, if those categories were blogpost categories instead. So clicking ‘application’ will show the featured image for all blogposts under that category. When you click a specific post, it takes you to the ‘Blog Standard’ layout or Individual post.

2) Can the sidebar display thumbnails too?

Hey rproza,

1. Unfortunately this wouldn’t be possible as of now without some custom development since the blog/portfolio styles are not interchangeable.

2 Can you elaborate a little more as to what thumbnails you’re trying to display? The blog sidebar is capable of display any widget you desire.

3. There is no ETA on this currently.

Cheers

Aww bummer. I absolutely love your theme but those are functionalities I need.

By thumbnails I meant your Recent Posts in demo show post title but no thumbnails. Just wondering if enabling thumbnails is available out of the box.

Sorry to hear! Thanks for clarifying the second question though – yes, you can enable thumbnails for the recent posts widget :)

Brilliant theme, great support. Been searching for an answer here and it’s amazing what some people ask and moan about (yes you pinkg*erbil)

Anyway, I’m trying out different ways of bringing in recent posts on to my homepage whether it be through ‘recent posts’ or ‘blog’ and have a question on each.

If I use ‘blog’ and use it 3/4 of a row across with something else in the other quarter can I change the ‘blog’ layout to 2 columns from the standard 3 so each blog excerpt appears a little wider?

If I use recent posts and tweak the shortcode processing file to only show 2 columns across, can I show it with 2 columns across, with another row of 2 columns neatly below it creating a 2×2 grid? I tried simply upping the post count but I broke the layout. It showed 3 posts in the first column and then the 4th at the bottom of the second column.

Any help would be gratefully received if you can understand my queries!!

Hey again!

1. The recent posts uses the_excerpt function which is indeed set at a word count – if you want it to mimic the content shown before your more tag, just fill out the desired text in the excerpt field of your post

2. This will stop the staggering:
.blog-recent > div:nth-child(3) {
    clear: both;
}

Bloody legend!

Hello Salient,

One thing I’ve noticed that I don’t like about my website is that even when I’m on a computer if I shrink the browser then the header of my website shrinks down so small I barely see the logo and the navigation collapsing into a ‘mobile drop down menu’. I don’t want the header to collapse like this on a computer. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks!

Also, if I turn the responsive design off and I shrink the browser then the menu slides under the logo which I don’t want to happen

Hey again althaua!

Please see this in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/46745/search/

Hi!

How could i add a blog filter in the like of portfolio ?

And btw : brillant theme!!!

Thanks!

Hey benjibenja,

as of now this would require some custom development – but the idea for a filterable blog is indeed on the wishlist :)

Cheers!

Hello Nectar!

I was wondering how to use Typekit in my theme?

Thanks

Hey althaua,

you’d need to include it by following this guide: http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/786466-using-typekit-with-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site and then target the elements you want to add the font to via css in the custom css box in your Salient options panel or through a child theme stylesheet :)

Let’s say I wanted to use a typekit font for “Atlanta’s Wedding Film Boutique” on the homepage of my website, what code would I use to target it? I installed the typekit script into the header already – everything should be connected but I’m not sure what code to use.

http://www.upupweddings.com

Thanks!

Hey again!

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

body #page-header-bg h1, html body .row .col.section-title h1 {
 font-family:"reklame-script";
}

I have searched through the forums and the comments to find how to fix my issue with no luck.

On the secondary navigation header how do I add a different menu on both the right and the left side. I see how to switch sides with css but how do I add a new Navigation menu?

Hey eliteposter,

You’d need to edit the header.php file to include a new menu location in the secondary header in place of the social icon display – if you’re on the latest version you should see all the relevant code from lines 64 to 95

Cheers

I can’t seem to find an option to make my Nectar slider autoplay, either within the Nectar Slider tab or in the settings of the individual slider on the individual page. Am I missing something? Would like to be able to set the slider to automatically play through slides when a user goes to the home screen. Here is a link to the page I am referring to : www.brandlivesites.com/brandlivegroup

Thank!

Hey dustynuggz,

The option for that exists in the nectar slider element itself inside of Visual Composer – it’s a field titled “autorotate” in which you can enter the duration in milliseconds in to enable the functionality: http://i.imgur.com/4YJMKdh.jpg

Hi! Loving this theme so far, have a quick question.

Is there any way to modify the carousel so that it only shows one item at a time. I have each item split up into two columns, and I’d like to rotate them one at a time. Meaning, each item shows 2 columns at a time, rotating through these items.

Thanks!

Is there anyway you can share your URL so I can check this out?

Sure! It’s inbetween the “CEO’s Bio” and the “Team” write-up. You can see there are 6 columns (3 carousel items, each with two columns of content), alternating a picture (which you can’t see) and a bio. The way I’m hoping to have it is to just one item showing (each with two columns, showing a photo and a bio).

http://216.194.165.246/~dyco/about-us/

Hey again! Anyway you can open a ticket in regards so I can log in and check the page setup? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Thanks for the response, I contacted my hosting company and hopefully they’ll be able to resolve things.

Besides that I had an issue where the menu bar seems to overlay the page title/options/buttons on top (please see: http://prntscr.com/46bir9)

I can’t disclose my clients’ link anywhere public so I hope that helps a bit.

This is everything I have in the custom CSS by the way, perhaps something here messes up the header and content below it?

header-space {

display: none!important; }

header-outer {

background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.9)!important; }

.swiper-slide .content .buttons { margin-top: 225px!important; }

.swiper-slide .content .buttons { margin-top: 225px!important; }

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

header-outer.transparent .container {

border-bottom: 1px solid #ef4e27; }

Could it be so that I actually need to add a spacing before my content? If I do that the overlay of the menu bar disappears but the responsiveness of the theme as well.

If that’s all of the custom css you have it appears to be malformed, but it shouldn’t cause the issue you’re seeing still – since you can’t disclose the URL here, is there anyway you could do so in private so I can check it?

Hi,

Wanted to ask you in the salient slider can you put a color box behind heading text in slider so it can be read better not using dark and light option.

Hey fruiz1972,

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

 
.swiper-slide .content h2 {
        padding: 4px 0px;
    display: inline;
    position: relative;
    left: 10px;
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
    box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
    -moz-box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
    -webkit-box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
    -o-box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
    line-height: 45px;
}

Cheers
