Hey Phil!

Hope you doing fine man. I have a quick question regarding the Portfolio. When sorting the Portfolio, it says “Sort Portfolio” and then it has all the categories and what not. Is it possible to rename the “Sort Portfolio” to “Sort Businesses”?

Thanks!

Hey Gareth!

You can change this with the “Custom Portfolio Page Sortable Text” field in the portfolio options tab in the Salient options panel

Hi, How to Add a border to Product Image on shop page? Thanks in advance!

Hey luci30,

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

.woocommerce ul.products li.product a img, .woocommerce-page ul.products li.product a img {
    border: 2px solid #000;
}

Cheers!

Hello! Love the theme!

It looks like the marker support for the map/contact page has stopped working. Not sure why – I haven’t made any changes to that section. But for some reason, the marker isn’t appearing anymore. Here’s the page:

http://www.austinchristmascards.com/contact

All the map info in the settings and the map insert on that page have the marker set to:

30.224185|-97.953528|Our awesome location

which should drop it right on that map.

Looking at the code, it should be appearing. Here’s the relevant code from the browser:

<div id="map_53f5fdcc138e3" style="height: 500px;" class="nectar-google-map" data-greyscale="1" data-extra-color="#009eed" data-enable-animation="false" data-enable-zoom="1" data-zoom-level="12" data-center-lat="30.245573" data-center-lng="-97.801495" data-marker-img="https://austinchristmascards.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/intro-graphic4.png" /><div class="map_53f5fdcc138e3 map-marker-list"><div class="map-marker" data-lat="30.224185" data-lng="-97.953528" data-mapinfo="Our awesome location" />

Any thoughts?</div>

Hey again! I’m still seeing your map.js file as the old version – please ensure that the contents of that match the latest release. I just downloaded the version on TF again to verify that it’s the correct and working code :)

Thanks – fixed now! I just replaced that individual file. Odd though how that file didn’t get updated when I copied the new theme folder over..

That is odd but glad to hear you got it :)

Hi,

My map marker was working fine on the contact page but has now gone missing. No settings have been changed. Tis is the page http://www.motivmedia.tv/image-technique/contact/

Please advise.

Thanks,

Rory

You could update js/map.js, functions.php and nectar/tinymce/nectar-gmap.php :)

Hi,

Thanks for the response.

I changed the functions.php and map.js files

No sign of the other file – nectar/tinymce/nectar-gmap.php in the documentation

Unfortunately all I get is a black box where the map should be

My apologies, the file is actually located at:

nectar/nectar-vc-addons/vc_templates/nectar-gmap.php

Hi, :)

I’d like to have a subtle pattern (i.e. a repeating image) behind my blog page. How could I do it?

I have a Blog page and the Blog element on a row. I tried to edit the row of Blog element: I added a background image and chose ‘Background Repeat’. Yet nothing happened. I didn’t see the image. What did I do wrong?

Kind Regards, Teemu

Thanks! I can’t see any image getting applied in the code either so could you kindly open a ticket in regards with you admin credentials so I can check out the backend setup? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Cheers :)

That worked, thank you again. :)

You’re welcome :)

Hi i’m trying to create 2 different menus for the homepage and pages other than the homepage but having problems. I’ve followed the instructions here: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/132615/search/ I can’t get the homepage to show the menu, but my other pages show the 2nd menu. From what I can see when I search the homepage, the menu is there but just not visible. Would you know why this is happening? www.nelsontai.com

Hey siumaiii!

in this step:

if (is_front_page()) {
    wp_nav_menu (array ("theme_location" => "homepage"));
}
else { 
   wp_nav_menu( array('walker' => new Nectar_Arrow_Walker_Nav_Menu, 'theme_location' => 'top_nav', 'container' => '', 'items_wrap' => '%3$s' ) );
}

The attributes of the wp_nav_menu should still be the same as the other, I was just trying to emphasis the change of the theme_location parameter. So it should look like:

if (is_front_page()) {
    wp_nav_menu (array ('walker' => new Nectar_Arrow_Walker_Nav_Menu, "theme_location" => "homepage", 'container' => '', 'items_wrap' => '%3$s' ));
}
else { 
   wp_nav_menu( array('walker' => new Nectar_Arrow_Walker_Nav_Menu, 'theme_location' => 'top_nav', 'container' => '', 'items_wrap' => '%3$s' ) );
}

Cheers

Thanks for the quick reply! Works perfectly now!

You’re very welcome :)

Hi, really love the theme, especially it’s highly support of woocommerce! I’m now bulding my on-line shop, it’s amazing! But i have a question here…how to make a drop down list of my product for choosing color? I already set up the attributes but it only shows text but not a drop down list. And how to make a text area for buyers write down their needs?

The product page is here: http://www.nihao.com.tw/shop/nb-amnimal/

thanks!

Hey guys,

We’re not able to get Facebook or Twitter login with the ‘Jetpack Comments’ add-on. The support forums are telling me the theme needs to be updated to use the newest comment function.

Here is the link: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comment_form

Thanks in advance, great work as ever!

Hey Eastworks!

Salient already uses the latest comment form function – something else must be at play. Anyway you could open a ticket in regards so I can check it out further? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Hi ThemeNectar,

it is good to see the theme is still going strong and updates keep on coming. Way to go!

I have a question on implementing a JotForm Shortcode in a Row ( tried text block & even raw html ). It just show the jotform shortcode on the live page instead of actually showing the actual Jotform. I’ve tried the plugins [ Form Generator for Wordpress ] & [ Jotform Integration ]. Contact Form 7 doesn’t play well with my server. Is there a way to make Jotform happen?

Hey ncvdv!

Have you attempted to switch themes for a minute to see if the shortcode will parse to ensure it’s a conflict with Salient?

Cheers

Hi there,

Firstly, this is possibly my favourite Wordpress theme of all time. Great job. I have one request for help. I find that on iPad portrait view there is too much space left and right of the content, and that 2 columns breaks to 1 too early. Is there a way to extend the grid so I can keep 2 columns at iPad portrait size?

Thanks in advance guys. Dave

Hey Dave!

You’d need to modify the media queries in the responsive.css file:

@media only screen and (min-width : 690px) and (max-width : 1000px) {
to have a lesser value than 1000px in order to change that :)

Cheers

Love the theme! Really awesome.

How do I get rid of the white space between 2 elements on a page. Have 2 text boxes that have different background colors and do not want the white space between them. Thanks Shannon

In that case just ensure the rows are set to full width background or full width content for their type – if that’s still not working please share your URL so I can take a peek :)

that did it. One other question. Want to change the color of the name of the person quoted in the testimonial slider. Different from the quote.

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

.light .testimonial_slider blockquote span, body  .testimonial_slider blockquote span {
  color: #000!important;
}

hey, i’m having a small Line Height issue on mobile and small screens.

if i have a heading with two or more lines they show up on top of each other. when inspecting the element i found that ticking off this box solved the problem: http://oi60.tinypic.com/bhnof7.jpg

what should i write on custom CSS to overide this 16px Line Height thing?

Hey ricpolisel,

Try this:

@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
   html body.single-portfolio .row .col.section-title h1 {
       line-height: 30px!important;
   }
}

Cheers

it worked! thanks

one last question, is it possible to change the font used on portfolio thumbnails?

You can do that by changing the h3 font settings in your typography options tab in the Salient options panel :)

Does your shortcode list include a function for lightbox content, rather than just the lightbox image gallery?

Hey jjezjay,

As of now there’s no lightbox functionality built in for that through shortcodes and it would require some custom markup/css to get it to work through the native lightbox (prettyphoto)

Cheers

Hi, I really love the theme!

I have used your custom css to upload an image to the background that appears before our video plays on our home screen. The only problem is that the image is tiled and cut in half. The css is what you have provided to other users. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this problem? Thank you!

That makes sense since the transparent header has its own state of color as chosen by the starting color selected in the header options tab – if you want to override that use this:

body #header-outer.transparent header#top nav > ul > li > a:hover {
  color: red!important;
}

Awesome! Thank you for all of your help and quick responses! I’m sure it can be quite overwhelming.

You’re very welcome :)

Down arrow in Nectar Slider image gallery?

Hi, when using the Nectar Slider Style to insert an image gallery in a portfolio item, there is no Down Arrow option like the original Nectar Slider. Any ideas on the best way to add this so the down arrow function can be used here as well?

The file responsible for the markup is actually nectar/nectar-vc-addons/vc_templates/vc_gallery.php – you’d need to mod it to include the down arrow markup which you could find in the functions.php file :)

Thanks!!

You’re welcome :)

Hi ThemeNectar, How do I change the text size from the about me slider without changing the size of all the other sliders texts I have set up on different pages?

I want to make look similar to the about me Creative template. Heading bigger and bold, following by the text below being smaller with light font and same type of alignment between texts on your page template.

Thank in advance.

Hey again!

Just to point out, the demo actually doesn’t use a slider on the about page – it’s just a page header (which can be set to have a different font than sliders)

If you actually want to use a Nectar Slider though, add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:

.page-id-596 .swiper-slide .content h2 {
   font-family: Lovelo,sans-serif!important;
    font-size: 80px!important;
    line-height: 90px!important;
}
.page-id-596 .swiper-slide .content p {
    font-family: 'OpenSansLight'!important;
    font-size: 28px!important;
    line-height: 28px!important;
}

Cheers

Hi there, thanks again for helping. I liked the page header option you’ve given, specially because adding the CSS code was messing with the layout from the pie chart and text coming just after the slider. But I’ve got another problem. I’ve changed the font size on the typography, however it also changes the size from the titles on my portfolio pages. How do I change the size from the page header from the about me page only?

Thank in advance. :)

Use this to control the single project titles independently:

html body.single-portfolio .row .col.section-title h1 {
  font-size: 80px!important;
}

Great Theme! Is there a built in way to assign an id to a row or section of any given page so that i can create a button that will link to it similar to the way the down arrow reacts when using the nectar slider? I basically want to create a “www.page.com/#section” link but I’m having trouble because I have to account for the menu height.

Thanks vikerious!

this will be coming in the next update so you won’t have to play with the anchor positioning anymore – however for the mean time here’s some solutions: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10732690/offsetting-an-html-anchor-to-adjust-for-fixed-header

Cheers

Appreciate the help!

You’re welcome :)

hey mr nectar!

i got two questions:

I’m using the boxed layout, and when transitions are off, the background/header don’t disappear when changing pages. When it’s turned on it all goes white. Is it possible to keep the background and logo all the time when the Ajax Transition is loading the page?

also, i’d like to know if this is possible in the header: centralized logo, with only two navigation links, one on each side of the logo.

something like this: http://oi61.tinypic.com/4javir.jpg

Are you trying to not have the logo on its own line? If so, which side would you want the nav items to sit on?

no, i’m just trying to center the logo on a header that doesn’t change width when i roll the window and it’s 50px tall on a boxed layout.

but when i use a css code to center the logo i found here somewhere, the header gets taller, maybe around twice its height, with the logo centered and the navigation where it’s supposed to be (far right), but i’d like to keep that initial height.

if it’s too hard to understand i’ll send you a screenshot tomorrow, cheers

If you can share your URL I’d be glad to assist :)

First of all GREAT THEME & FANTASTIC VIDEO TUTORIALS! Love this theme and all it can do. I am having problems with video playing in the Nectar Slider in firefox. I have both .mp4 and .webm videos uploaded. It works great in chrome and safari. Website here.

I also have the same problem with the location marker not showing up on the map. But I am sure that is being worked on. Thank you! Can I give this theme 6 Stars????

I also noticed when I make the video the first slider, it breaks the slider(on firefox, fine on chrome) and nothing shows up. I’ve added a .ogv and it works but the quality is terrible so I took it down.

Nevermind I added # # Serve webm files as WebM video and ogg files as Ogg video # AddType video/ogg .ogv AddType video/webm .webm to my .htaccess file and it is good to go!

Thanks so much awerm! Glad you sorted the video issue – as for the map marker, that was sorted in todays update :)

Cheers!

Great theme! For some reason the call to action is disabled on the about page. How do I include the about page, it is now highlighted as excluded. I would like it to be shown on the about page though.

Thanks!

Hey helimarc! Anyway you could open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I could check on that for you? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
