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

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/

Hey, First amazing job =D
  • I’ve a problem with video integration in FF and also now with Chrome after look your advice with the .htaccess file I’ve use some of my personal video first, and just to be sure, I decided to use some of yours present in your theme. http://leloftnantes.com It work in safari, but impossible to load the video in FF and chrome I already change my .htaccess :
  • # BEGIN WordPress AddType video/mp4 mp4 AddType video/mp4 m4v AddType video/ogg ogv AddType video/webm webm AddType video/webm webmv # END WordPress"

    If you can help me with that, it will be great Thanks =D

  • I just move the video into an other server, and change the right for the access for the file and it works =)
  • sorry to disturb ^^

    Hey sckuze, glad to hear you sorted it! :)

    I just want to say what an AMAZING theme this is!!! I love it, no problems and my site gets a lot of compliments and seen an increase in business! Thank you guys!!

    Thanks so much artiium21! I’m glad to hear about the positive feedback you’ve gotten :)

    Cheers

    How would you suggest creating a frontend login?

    Hey danielaronson, the easiest way would be through the use of a plugin – otherwise you’d need to edit it directly into the header.php file

    Can you provide me with the proper CSS to overwrite the browser width that causes the text to shrink. My client has a smaller laptop, and once we break that threshold (1280px) it shrinks it all down.

    I researched this questions first, and there seem to be a lot of varying solutions that suggest you do something like:

    @media only screen and (min-width: 1300px) { .container { max-width: 1200px; } }

    But that hasn’t seemed to make any difference. Using a screen ruler I can still see at the moment my browser gets smaller than 1300 across, all the text (in particular H2’s) get tiny.

    FYI, there is some other code that your team provided to modify a portfolio feature, and that code is currently wrapped in the tag @media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) { ... }

    But this is related specifically to the body .portfolio-items classes.

    Thanks!!

    Hey sbarrante! Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:

    @media only screen and (max-width: 1300px)  {
      .col h3, body h3 {
       font-size: 20px!important;
      }
     .col h2, body h2 {
       font-size: 26px!important;
      }
    }
    

    Thanks, I appreciate the response. This, unfortunately is causing the text to stay that fixed size regardless of screen size, so on Mobile the headers are quite large.

    I’d love to just adjust the limit so it’s not 1300px, it’s reduced to 1200. Same behavior, just a bit more tolerance. As my client’s laptop is at 1280, and all the headers jump down to the next smallest size.

    Thanks!!

    Sorry, I assumed that’s what you wanted – just change the snippet to this :)

    @media only screen and (max-width: 1300px) and (min-width: 1000px) {
      .col h3, body h3 {
       font-size: 20px!important;
      }
     .col h2, body h2 {
       font-size: 26px!important;
      }
    }
    

    Hi there, I made a logo carousel on my homepage, but it only loads about 50% of the time. Thoughts? www.soapbrand.com

    Hey danielaronson, are you on v4.5.2+? This was an issue that was sorted in that version.

    My Google map icon is not working either.

    Hey trajan90, this was sorted in todays update :)

    I just do a fresh install of Salient 4.5.2 on WordPress 3.9.2 (The latest version) all the theme options are not working. When I hover over each menu options I can see a javascript:void(0):

    Hey bizhoop, if you’ve ensured it’s not a plugin conflict please open a ticket with your admin credentials so I can see what the issue is :) http://themenectar.ticksy.com/

    Just a head’s up, there is an issue on the google maps feature, not allowing the icons to show.

    Thank you, Where is this fix available?

    nvm. got it :D

    Glad to hear :)

    Just finished building a beautiful website with your amazing theme, so many thanks!! one question though: is there a simple way of removing the sidebar from the single post page type without messing around with the template php files? Best Regards, Ofer

    Hey fafchook!

    Yes – Salient v4.5+ offers an option in the blog options tab of the Salient options panel to do this :)

    Cheers

    Thanks.

    You’re welcome :)

    I want to customize the search field in the menu to instead be an email form field, how would I do that?

    Hey freshlesh3,

    You’d need to modify the header-search.php file located inside of the includes directory to get at the markup for that :)

    Cheers

    Just a heads up, it looks like the map icons are not working… They stopped on my site and checking your demo it looks like they are broken there too…

    Just to clarify I am talking about Google Maps and the icons that display at the lat, long that you set.

    Hey Knux0r!

    There was a change in the Google Map api which caused this to stop working approximately sometime yesterday – I just pushed an update to sort it which is available for download on ThemeForest now though :)

    Cheers
