Is there any chance to get semi transparent header using desirable colour?

Hey RedDejavu,

Yes – add this into the custom css box:

#header-outer {
  background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.7)!important;
}

Cheers

thank you!

You’re welcome :)

one thing .. ThemeNectar .. can you make the option MENU and header to be left and right .. ? [ hope next update ]

Hey again – sorry, I thought you were referring to simply changing the logo to be right aligned and the menu left aligned. If you’re talking about a fixed right or left menu on the side of the screen this would indeed take some custom development but is an item o the wishlist :)

great … i would wait for it .:)

Cheer s& sorry for the confusion :)

Hi Salient,

Please can you help me, I want to change the header ‘site title’ text, so it differs to my ‘site name’ – I don’t want it to be an image, I want it to be a text phone number instead! :)

Thanks :)

Sam

You’d just delete that line and replace it with:

echo 'your custom text';

That’s great , thanks! :)

You’re welcome :)

Hi,

Can I use this theme as a one page parallax? I want some pages to be included in one long page and others to be individual pages, all accessible using the same main top level menu.

Thanks.

Hey calin_balea,

Yes but you’d need to use a plugin like http://wordpress.org/plugins/page-scroll-to-id/ in order to get the animated scrolling :)

Cheers

Thanks. I’ve installed it but i`m a bit confused on how to use it. Other themes have this integrated in the column settings ( a custom field named “column anchor” or something similar. How can I set this up with Salient? Can i use visual composer or do I have to write code?

Thanks.

Hello, How can I make navigation buttons for testimonial slider? http://clickon.activated.co.il/ Thanks Anat

Hey Anatal,

The only option for navigation for testimonial sliders is the default pagination circles as you already have showing. Any other type of pagination would indeed require some custom development

Cheers

I noticed quite a lot of requests for lazy loading the blog and portfolio, which was recently introduced as a feature.

Any plans to include lazy loading site-wide as an option? I think I’ve tried about 30 plugins, including some that work with background images, and they don’t affect the Nectar Sliders at all. Or any slider, even a third party one. Would be great to see this in the future!

Hey again! I assume if it broke the Nectar Slider it’s because of the conflict img load events – by default the Nectar Slider sets an on load even for the first BG image and the lazy loading probably interferes with that. This might be able to be sorted by simply changing this section in the nectar-slider.js file:

$(slideImg).load(function(){ 
            showSliderControls();
            resizeToCover();
            slideContentPos();
            sliderLoadIn($that);
            captionTransition($nectarSliders[i]);
                darkFirstSlide($that);
});

to this:

        showSliderControls();
        resizeToCover();
        slideContentPos();
        sliderLoadIn($that);
        captionTransition($nectarSliders[i]);
        darkFirstSlide($that);

That’s fantastic, thank you for the help here. I did manage to get this working on Firefox but not other browsers. Seems to work for nectar sliders but full width image backgrounds still need some work. I’m going to leave it off for now and save it for proper Salient implementation :)

To help with page load times I’ve simply divided my long, image-heavy page into smaller pages. Thanks for helping!

You’re very welcome & thanks for letting me know what happened :)

Hi

Love the Theme. Quick question, im trying to change the background color on the single product pages as well as the category page. Woocommerce default is a light grey and my products have a white background and dont want to show a box with the white on light grey.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks

Hey DNDS,

What are the colors you desire? I’d be glad to assist with the css :)

Cheers

just white please :) so #ffffff

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

.woocommerce .container-wrap {
    background-color: #fff!important;
}

Is there a way to better display the table with grid lines?

http://compass.dxco.me/services/sat-subject-tests/

Cheers!

Anything I can reference to help me add these css borders?

Lastly, check out this screenshot. The little space sometimes happens on my Mac 10.9.4, Chrome. http://tinypic.com/r/21eax5y/8

Video slider isn’t displaying. Uploaded a 1.1mb video .mp4 to this page compass.dxco.me/contact any ideas?

Hey again!

1. It appears you’ve switched to using an actual table element now – is that correct?

2. Can you also get that to occur on the live demo anywhere?

3. It seems you’ve only supplied an mp4 file when both a webm & mp4 are needed for cross browser playback.

Hi mate,

A quick question.

I currently have a button in my navigation button through this line of code in my header.php:

<li><a data-hover-text-color-override="#fff" data-hover-color-override="false" data-color-override="false" href="http://www.membertrain.com.au/get-started" class="nectar-button large accent-color regular-button">Get Started</a></li>

My question is, as I have a membership site, I want to add a condition so that the button shows 'get started' for logged in users, and 'my account' for users who are logged in. I think I have to add another button and specify it to show instead of the 'get started' button when a user is logged in but was hoping you can help me out so I don't stuff up the theme.

Thank you!

Thank you! Fantastic support :)

You’re welcome :)

Dude, just a btw, been testing OS X Yosemite Beta, and the site’s performance on the new Safari 8.0 is astronomical. Soooo fast and buttery smooth, everything works a treat on my MBPr. Chrome by comparison is nowhere near as fast, although Canary was FINALLY updated to 64bit, and just tried it now and it’s definitely much better than regular 32bit Chrome.

Hey djoliverm, that’s great to hear! Thanks for letting me know your results :)

Hi there. Well, I find a problem loading logos. In this case, the logo of the header, and the logo retina. In both cases always shows me the same logo, the same is removed from that of another color, then I need to upload a new logo to be displayed differently to the principal, when the waterway transport down starts. Could you tell me how to set this? Or some error happening? Greetings.

http://goo.gl/AiUYrk

Remember that on topic I have 2 different logos by default and shows me the logo “Logo Upload. Upload your logo here and enter below the height of it.” As the retina is of another color, and is not visible!

Thanks!

Congratulations on your work :)

And I’m afraid to say, but I think part of the portfolio, as I think I’ve touched a color that can not be corrected. Besides the submenu header, I’m also a bit confusing, and I can not fix.

By the way, you can have a look at the site, to see if maybe you can help me.

Hey again recobers!

1. If you’re trying ot use two different logos you would actually need to activate the transparent header option – the retina logo is supposed to be the same version as your normal logo just 2x as big and it will be used on retina displays.

2. Can you let me know what you mean with this one a little bit more? I checked out your portfolio pages but can see anything wrong the coloring on the projects or filters

Cheers

Hello!

Love the latest update :)

Is there any way that the “Portfolio Sort” element can be added to/ adapted for a blog page?

thanks!

s

Hey rebelle143!

Unfortunately this require some custom development as of now – but functionality like this is on the to-do list :)

Hey Guys!

Great theme! Really loving it.

I was poking around looking to see if anyone else asked about fading the Nectar slides instead of the scroll. I noticed the same question from deepakkumarv 10 months ago.

Your reply: “deepakkumarv, all of the slider’s options are listed in the nectar slider shortcode & slide configuration page…. “

I also tried adding an extra class as suggested in section 9.2 of the manual.

I must be an idiot and/or blind since I can’t find where you’re referring too! I’m currently using Salient 4.5.1

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hey bluehaus!

The fade effect was just added in v 4.5 of the theme – if you’re already on that you can find the option by editing the nectar slider element inside of visual composer :)

Cheers

lol How did I miss that??! sheesh. Thx! Sorry for the stupid question. :)

No worries! Cheers :)

hey in the dummy data I didn’t see the shop page for shop with sidebar and fullwidth. Did you intentionally remove those pages because I loved them and wanted to use them.

Hey ivory2345, the WooCommerce setup seen on the demo is made from importing the WooCommerce dummy data file included with the plugin itself: http://docs.woothemes.com/document/importing-woocommerce-dummy-data/ once you’ve added that you can choose your layout for fullwidth/sidebar in the WooCommerce options tab in the Salient options panel

Hey, A quick question: How could I change the font-size of ‘Sort Portfolio:’ text? I managed to change the font-size of adjoining portfolio category texts already.

Hey teemuluo,

Add this in the custom css box in the Salient options panel:

body #portfolio-filters-inline .container > ul li#sort-label {
  font-size: 16px!important;
}
Cheers

Thanks again. Sunny Regards, Teemu

You’re welcome :)

Hello,

great theme. i love it more and more =) would be very great if you could help me with some issues.

1. how can i delete the headline in the center of portfolio project pages. i need the headlines still for the thumbs… but not for the porject page itself.

2. if i generate a thumb picture (portfolio masonry), it becomes compressed because the thumbs (in masonry style) are sometimes in a squarish format. i would prefer to auto crop the image. is that possible?

3. the Accent color settings in the backend has a specific color. for example white. but what can i do if i hade sometimes white and black links? at the moment i only could have one color in links. and i do not know how i can chance that for a specific textelement. i tried to add css like: LINK but it doesnt have a effekt for the link.

4. all dark text in the site has a grey color. i really like to have it black. how can i change that for the site generally?

5. what is your recommendation for video sizes? 2 MB, 1 MB or less?

6. can i have the social icons in the widget area and not at the bottom of the site? maybe you have a shortcode for that?

7. how can i change the font family for the search layer? “START TYPING…” and how can i add a sentence like “Press Enter to proceed”... like the demo version have it.

8. Is it possible to change the color of the ajax scrollbar?

Thank you very much! =)

Hey white29!

1.Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:

.single-portfolio #page-header-bg .span_6 h1 {
  display: none!important;
}

2. The default project size for masonry items is 500×500 – if you wish to alter that you’d need to do so in the functions.php file and then regenerate your thumbnails.

3. Css would indeed be a good option. In the text tab on your editor you’d add a class like
<a href="" class="cool-color">link</a>
and then in the css box add
html body .cool-color {
 color: #000!important;
}

4.

html body, html body p {
  color: #000;
}

5. Actually the demo uses videos around 20-30mb :)

6. This would indeed require some custom html as of now – but i’ve noted the idea. Also you could just use a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/social-media-widget/

7.The second line of text only comes when using the ascend skin and the ajax search is turned off. To alter the starting text you’d need to edit the search-form.php file

8. Are you referring to the loading animation?

Cheers

I recently published a blog post and it’s bleeding. Is there a specific length to blog posts with the Theme and do i need to condense it or does it require troubleshooting? I have already formatted each paragraph in HTML but I do not know what’s wrong. Is there any way you can help me? All the best!

P.s here is the post: http://jeremydarko.com/2014/07/25/11-steps-to-getting-what-you-want-without-formal-education/

Hey jeremydarko!

There’s some unclosed html markup in your post which could’ve occurred if you pasted it in from somewhere else. Switch into the text tab on your editor and remove any div tags that you come across :)

Thanks so much for your assistance!

You’re very welcome :)

howdy – been a bit but the theme is holding up nicely. cant stress how great the theme and the support is.

one issue i am having, im running an old version of the theme, V2.05. i have done way too much customization to the theme at this point to upgrade, but that said, i’m still hoping you might be able to help.

I’m running into a bug with woocomerce. for the most part all is fine except for when i try to restrict usage of a coupon to a particular product. the product drop down list shows that NO content is populated. therefor i can not assign a specific product. i have disabled the theme on a backed up version of the site and the drop down fields display content correctly.

any ideas?

here is a link to an image in the admin panel showing the messed up fields along with the code.

http://www.gametutor.com/live/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Screen-Shot-2014-07-27-at-5.15.41-PM.png

much thanks! hope you can help somehow.

best! new updates look great btw. i still check back just to see whats new.

You’re welcome :)

The shortcodes are formated in the shortcode-processing.php file located in the nectar/tinymce directory – could you elaborate a little more as to how the formatting changed so I can assist?

Cheers

perfect! not sure how i missed that file. all is formatted and working like it should. much appreciated, as always

You’re very welcome :)

Hello,

Great Theme, really beautiful!

I have a question, is it possible to create a carousel of the latest blog posts? Thanks.

Thanks BandFM!

Unfortunately there’s no carousel option for recent posts yet like there is for recent projects, but it’s already an item on the to-do list :)

Beautiful! If you guys do that! Your theme will be the champion of champions! Thanks

Another thing I would suggest if you can, you should add options to center the logo/title in the header and also the main navigation, just a suggestion. Thank you again! Keep up the good work!

Thanks a lot & I appreciate the additional suggestion :)

Hi, first of all thanks for the awesome theme and continuous development of it. It has many improvements since the beginning.

I would like to display my normal posts on the following way: The four latest blogposts in 4 blocks on one row with the style of [ Be my guest ] and [ Ownage ] but than four. Shown on the following demo page, but there they are portfolio items instead of posts.

They would have to show the foto. the title ( and small the date & author ) http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/

And after you click on a post I would also like my normal posts to display as the following portfolio item http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/the-field/

How do I get this done if I may ask?

Hey ncvdv,

1. The display of portfolio items/posts on that page was created using the portfolio element – some of the projects in it were just using the external url option to link them to blog posts instead of portfolio items. Unfortunately this would be the only way to get that look as of now since there’s no default functionality to display blog posts automatically with portfolio styling yet.

2. That’s a standard blog post with the ascend skin selected in the general settings tab of the Salient options panel & the fullscreen header selected in the blog options tab :)

Cheers
