Hi!
I love the theme and have been running it for a few months now.
Unfortunately, since yesterday, I get a white screen that is forever loading when navigating via my megamenu. The background has turned to white and sometimes I get a popup that says syntax error – but doesn’t tell me which syntax error exactly. I haven’t changed any set-ups, simply added a few new portfolio items, so not sure where the error would come from.
the website is http://www.riotrules.com
Does anyone have experience with this and can possibly help me out?
Thank you! Sonja
Hey Sonja!
I can’t seem to replicate the white screen on your provided link but have you checked to make sure no plugins are causing the behavior yet?
Cheers
Can I use this theme without WooCommerce?
Hey SimplyGreat, yes – that’s just am optional supported plugin 
Great, thanx
You’re welcome
Hey,
Nice theme. Quick question, how do I change the site title font size? I wanted to make it a little bigger since I don’t have a logo to put there. Could you help me out?
Hey!
Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel:
header#top #logo {
font-size: 36px!important;
}
Thats great, thank you!
You’re welcome
Hey,
I cant find the Visual Composer. I am going to the page where I want to edit, but the visual composer is not there. Please advise as to what I should do. Thanks!!
Hey retrofittingcali!
By any chance do you have the option activated to disable the Salient Visual Composer in your general settings tab?
Do you provide the original PSD for alteration?
Hey StepStoneGroup,
Unfortunately there’s no PSD’s included because there’s no images used in the design elements. If you needed a PSD for mocking up, a screenshot would be almost as useful.
Also, how do I change the header height on mobile and tablet sizes? My logo shows up really small
Hey uxlstudio, please see this in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/46745/search/
How do I add a custom font into the theme?
Hey uxlstudio, that will vary depending on the source of the font – if you’re just talking about through font face here’s a good read to get you going in the right direction: http://zoerooney.com/blog/tutorials/installing-web-fonts-start-to-finish/
Is there a way to add the fonts into the font selection area in the theme editor?
Unfortunately not without editing the theme files at this time (nectar/options/fonts.php)
Love the theme, just an odd little thing I’ve noticed, not sure if others are having the issue. Using Nectar slider on the home page and the first slide is repeated as the last slide so that it ends up showing twice in a row. Happens on both slide and fade transitions. Any ideas?
Hey pbeckley! Anyway you could share your URL so I can take a peek?
Sure, how do I contact you privately to do that?
You could open a private ticket in regards here: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Is there a shortcode or feature set that lets the designer show or hide certain elements based on what kind of device the user is viewing the site on? IE.. if someone is on a smart phone it could be good to show only certain elements or even different elements of the site instead of showing everything the full site would have because of size constraints?
Hey Tetra84,
Currently that would require adding a class to the row such as “mobile-hidden” and then having this in the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.mobile-hidden {
display: noneimportant;
}
Cheers
When you have a “standard blog/w sidebar” is it then possible to only have “RECENT COMMENTS” and “CATEGORIES” but no “META” and “ARCHIVES”?
Hey steffmann! Yes – you can control the widgets that appear in your blog sidebar in the appearance > widgets section of your admin panel
Firstly, I must say that Salient Theme is awesome in theory and practice.
Then, I would like to ask a few things:
1) How do I hide metadata from posts (ex: span .meta-author, span .meta-categories and span .meta-comment-count)?
2) How can I align the title of Three Footer Widgets differently (ex: 1: left; 2: center; 3: right) or, at least, centered?
3) How can I center the Back To Top Button in the page and color it in a scheme See-Through + Solid On Hover (ex: Color Override: white; Hover BG Color: black)?
Thank you for the attention and congratulations by the theme!
Thanks JorgeAmVF!
1. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.meta-author, .meta-category, .meta-comment-count {
display: none!important;
}
2. It would also take custom css – but if that’s the actual setup you want I’d be glad to assist
3.
#to-top {
background-color: transparent !important;
border: 2px solid #fff!important;
right: 50%!important;
height: 33px!important;
width: 33px!important;
}
#to-top:hover {
background-color: #000!important;
border-color: #000!important;
}
Cheers
Thank you a lot for the assistance!
More than a great theme, it is a great service!
About number 2, I tried (with no success):
.widget-title {
text-align: center!important;
}
The best greetings.
One other thing, I am trying to post videos but I am getting black screen only with the MP4 file (OGV is working fine).
Do you suggest any method to encode MP4 videos?
Hey!
For #2 – use this:
#footer-outer .widget {
margin-bottom: 30px;
text-align: center !important;
}
Could you share the URL where you’re having this issue so I can take a look?
Thank you once more!
Before linking to the video, I have to say that, if I use common formatting application such as Format Factory, my mp4 file does not load on the web, showing only a black screen; if I use applications such as Enconding.com or any HTML5 converter, the video appears very poorly on the web. Once the video used on the Salient Theme live-preview plays in high quality, I would like to know what kind of enconding you suggest.
http://www.quaestio.org/wp-content/uploads/Qlock.ogv http://www.quaestio.org/wp-content/uploads/Qlock.mp4 http://www.quaestio.org/wp-content/uploads/Qlock.webm(the Webm file is the only one that conserves the orginal quality of the video)
Thank you again!
Any suggestion?
Hey, sorry for missing the previous comment – the converters I used for the demo are listed in the user guide in the troubleshooting video backgrounds section
Oh, thank you, I will take a look at it.
Sounds good
Problems solved. Very useful!
You’re welcome
Hi there!
The first of everything congratulations for this theme, it´s incredible.
But i need to do some changes it.
When i create a category, i would like to delete the “icon heart”, it´s appears under the date
Too, i would like change the text “Read more” for other text like “Seguir leyendo” in spanish.
And delete the words “by” and “No comments” or ”% Comments”
And second, when i create a post, i would like to delete the icon heart, it´s appears on the left
How can i change this things?
Hey nikomaster!
1. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.nectar-love-wrap, .meta-author, .meta-category, .meta-comment-count, .n-shortcode {
display: none!important;
}
article.post .post-meta .date {
margin-bottom: 0!important;
}
2. To translate the read more button use the included .po file http://themenectar.ticksy.com/faq/2242
Cheers
I’ve removed the search and menu bar until scroll but now the logo and menu don’t line up. I can’t seem to get them aligned. Link: http://designvalet.com/?page_id=11#
Hey,
It seems you have custom css entered that’s causing this:
body #header-outer .row .col.span_3 {
top: 11px !important;
}
Hi there again!,
I’m trying to use the markers on the contact us page but they are not working, I have tried multiple things. and I checked if the locations are not too far from each other also. please have a look http://www.mefahelsinki.com/?page_id=26Thank you
Hey mefafestival, you just need to update to 4.5.21 to get the fix for that
Hi again , I updated but now the whole map does not appear anymore.
Hey – checking out your URL I actually can see the map with markers appearing. What browser are you experiencing this on?
Hi, I’d like to know whether I can make the logo image centered on my header and the menu will be located under the logo or not. And also, I would like to know the min and max size for the logo-image itself. Thanks!
Hey Vaniilim!
1. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
header#top nav {
text-align: center!important;
}
header#top nav > ul {
float: none!important;
display: inline-block!important;
}
body #header-outer .span_9, body #header-outer .span_3 {
display: block!important;
float: none!important;
margin: 0!Important;
width: 100%!important;
}
header#top #logo img {
margin: 0 auto 20px auto!important;
}
2. There’s no min/max logo size, you’re free to define the height whatever you need it to be in header options tab
it’s still not working tho’. And the main navi also still in the same spot (want it to move under the logo-img). Thanks!
Can you share your URL so I can take a look?
.is it possible to have the menu transparent with the image showing back? Sort of like this https://teamtreehouse.com/ and have the menu static as well
2. also is there a way to change the down arrow on the nectar slider to an icon of my own?
3. can i add a button to the header menu?
Hey Juniormc,
1. You can already have a transparent header by activating the transparent header option in your header options tab http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/ – However to make the menu static and remain transparent would require modding the init.js file.
2. You’d need to mod that in the functions.php – search for “slider-down-arrow” to end up at the right spot
3. Please see this in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/78972/search/
Cheers
Okay thanks a lot, I have no idea how to modd the init.js any idea where to begin?
I will check out the link to add the button on the header
header-outer { position: absolute!important; } i used this code to turn off the sticky menu, probably saying static was wrong
Hey again – search for and delete this line in the file:
$('#header-outer').removeClass('transparent');
Hi all! Great theme!!!
I’m having troubles to make my slider similar to that of http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/home-portfolio-eye-candy/
I don’t know how to include the menu in the slider.
I have found a comment three months ago about this topic from robinmannering and you answered him:
“Thanks robinmannering!
The option for fullscreen is selected when placing a Nectar Slider on a page (through the visual composer element or shortcode), it doesn’t matter what type of slides you have in it (image of video)
Cheers”
I am using fullscreen option in the slider and still my menu is outside of the slider.
Could you pleas help me?
Thanks!
Hey rafantastico,
You just need to activate the transparent header option in your Salient options panel > header tab
Cheers
How do you make the second navigation bar in the header larger (height) and the text larger. I would like the text to be the same size or larger as my main navigation bar. Thanks
http://www.pfcfinance.com/Hey phewett,
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
body #header-secondary-outer nav > ul > li > a {
font-size: 15px !important;
line-height: 13px !important;
}
Cheers
Hello,
I installed a version of this theme in April, and I do not have any options for the visual composer. Should I re-install the theme and see if that makes the option appear? I’ve read through the comments to see if anyone else has had this problem and it has been resolved by going to ‘settings > visual composer’ but I do not have this option…
Thank you very much! Love your theme!
nevermind.. I did exactly that and had success
Hey jimbot! Glad to hear you got it
Cheers
Hello!
In the spirit of trying to satisfy someone using a 2560×1440 resolution, I’m hoping to get rid of the spaces between the ‘recent shows’ carousel: www.murrayweinstein.com
(Viewed in aforemention resolution)
http://www.infobyip.com/testwebsiteresolution.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.murrayweinstein.com%2F&width=2560&height=1440&in_browser=trueWould some CSS take care of it? Or widening the pictures? Just don’t want to put too much time into resizing photos that would look bad in more common resolutions. Thanks as always!
Hey artblend!
Add this into the custom css box in the salient options panel:
body .portfolio-items .col img {
width: 100%!important;
max-width: none!important;
}
Cheers
Thanks!
You’re welcome
