br,

newbie2004

You’re welcome!

Could you please share your URL so I can assist with that?

here it is: http://bit.ly/1up7cV5 i still send it to you via your potfolio contact form here.

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

header#top #toggle-nav {
    top: 18px!important;
}

Hello, I’ve recently uploaded an icon in the google maps shortcut and it’s not showing up. I’ve tried uploading a 60px and 20px image, neither worked. Can you help?

I’m currently seeing the map marker in Europe, if you zoom out far enough you’ll see it – are you sure the center point lat/lng match up with your marker lat/lng?

Thanks, I fixed that issue and it’s working fine!

Great to hear :)

Cheers

Hey,

I would love to have a colour overlay option for images as well like the videos. Is that possible?

Secondly, I wish if there was an option in nectar slider which allowed opacity control or say, focus and out of focus option for images, so that my text looks perfect. Would be an amazing addition if coded.

Hey gokulmantri! Unfortunately these items would require some custom development as of now but I’ve marked the ideas down for the wishlist :)

Hi
I want to have comments on pages and I followed the instructions that I found here but it does not work;
I have added the following code on page.php (edited in the editor in the admin section) <div class="comments-section"> <?php comments_template(); ?> </div>
under:
<?php the_content(); ?>

Actually, whatever change I make on page.php it isn’t reflected on the page.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hey fredrics1! Please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look :)

OK, will do that.
Played around and found out that it works if you use the standard template but not for a template with the sidebar.

Weird, I’ll take a further look at your setup through the ticket :)

Cheers

Why is the Nectar Slider so slow? Is there a way to speed it up? I only have a few slides on my homepage and they load painfully slow. No one has the patience to wait for photos to load. I changed the slider height to the default to 750, or 900 and it’s slow no matter what. Do you have any tips to help with this? Scanning the comments and I’ve seen its a common theme but I haven’t found a solution.

Hey palsy1149,

the Nectar Slider loads in only after the first slide image or video has loaded (it doesn’t wait for all the slides). The height won’t effect it, but an image or video which isn’t compressed for the web can make a huge difference. If you can share your URL I’d be glad to take a look :)

HOLY $ALIENT!! just saw you have a new demo ‘Ascend’, curious if there is a link to check it out? #ThemeNectar ROCKS!!

Hey sterlingwilliam! Here’s the link :) http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/

Cheers!

AWESOME!$

Am glad you dig it! :)

Can’t find V.4.5.22. :( On the theme page downloads V.4.5.21

Hey mik_tretyakov, it was made available to download shortly after this comment was left :)

Hi, before purchasing, would like to know if this is possible to get a sub header with a téléphon number, mail and socials links if need ? In fact, is it possible to personalize the sub header ? Manu thanx

Hey Amogiz,

you can have a secondary header as shown on this page: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/headers/ – as of now it can hold a menu and social links :)

Cheers

thanx but is it possible to put html or anything ? in that case a phone and a mail ?

You could make a phone number/email address through custom menu links – but if you need more robust html you’d need to add it into the header.php file :)

Just wanted to say thanks. For a great, intuitive and versatile theme, and for the amazing support received to date. I can’t believe that such a reasonably price product comes with such dedicated and helpful support. Many thanks.

Hey thomasheiser77, I’m very glad to hear you’ve been digging the experience :)

Cheers!

Hi there,

Would it be possible to add a Tumblr button to the enable social sharing buttons on blog posts?

Hey poundcake23,

As of now that would require some custom development – but i’ve noted the idea for the wishlist :)

Cheers

Thanks!

You’re welcome :)

Hi there! I really love the theme, and with barely any knowledge of coding, I managed to somehow put a portfolio together.

For the most part, I was able to find solutions to all my problems in this comments section, but there’s one issue that I can’t resolve.

When I tested the layout, I had no problems with the Masonry portfolio option, and it was resizing just fine: http://www.martadymek.com/test/still/

However, once I’ve imported the theme into my actual website, the images aren’t resizing anymore in the masonry option and they don’t fit snugly.

http://www.martadymek.com/still/

I’ve made sure that my images are at least 500px wide/long and tried everything that you suggested to others in the comments.

Is there a way around this?

Thank you!

Hey raininashoe!

Try regenerating your thumbnails by using this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

Cheers

That did it! Thanks so much :)))

You’re welcome! :)

Hey bud could salient be used to re-create this style at all do you think?

http://marquee-demo.squarespace.com/#our-team

Cheers Rich

Hey Rich! Yes – except for the right hand side single page navigation dots :)

And perhaps more to the point this:? http://www.flklrsurf.com/ any small chance you could pop me up a demo page to show me how please? (re the arrows on the right hand side can I request this as an extra feature please).

Cheers Rich

That page could be done by simply using visual composer full width background rows and having every alternate one set to parallax the BG – for all the heights just use the top/bottom padding fields with a % value to keep it responsive :)

Thanks for the support with google maps!

No worries! :)

Cheers

Hey Guys!

Salient v4.5.22 is here!
The update is currently in the review queue and will be available to download shortly. This is a minor bugfix release that sorts out a few issues most notably being the Google map markers not displaying – Unfortunately the hotfix of the last update (4.5.21) didn’t permanently address the issue, so for any who are still experiencing the icon acting up please update or simply replace the js/map.js file with the new source :) For a list of the other fixes please check out the changelog

Cheers!

Hey! I have a question: is it possible to have a contentbox 100%. Everything is inside the 1100px contentbox, but is it possible to have something full 100% width.

Cheers.

Also, the “visual composer” button doesn’t work. I only deactivate the “clasic editor” but the visual editor doesn’t activate.

I solved that also, but my final question is, is there any way to insert shortcode somewhere?

Hey again! Yes, you can still use shortcodes inside of the Visual Composer rows in the text block element :)

hi,

you have cerated a stunning theme. i have one quesition before buying … in the demo the slider is cropping the width of the images. can you change it or can you replace it with another slider plugin?

br, newbie2004

Hey newbie2004!

You can indeed set the option to constrain the proportions perfectly when scaling by setting the option for “flexible height” in the slider element :)

Cheers

Hi, I’ve managed to add a custom menu to my pages using a short-code: [menu name=”Account menu”] and adding this function to my functions.php

function print_menu_shortcode($atts, $content = null) { extract(shortcode_atts(array( 'name' => null, ), $atts)); return wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu' => $name, 'echo' => false ) ); } add_shortcode('menu', 'print_menu_shortcode');

but I’m a bit stuck with css styling so my new menu looks like your sidebar menu with border-bottom: 1px solid #e6e6e6; display: block; padding: 8px 0;

I’m not sure how to style it.

Thanks for your help in advance.

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

.page-id-1203 .menu {
  margin: 0!important;
}
.page-id-1203 .menu .menu-item {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #e6e6e6 !important;
    list-style: none outside none !important;
    padding: 8px;
}

Thanks a lot!

You’re welcome :)

Heads up >>> must be another change – Map Icons have gone again :)

Hey SamAsh! Please see my announcement comment on this page in regards :)

thanks :)

You’re welcome :)

Hi!

I have PS question:

Could I have four independent portfolio pages in the menu? Each page for one grade ( I must set up a portfolio for students from different locations and that belong to different grades). So different portfolio pages for each location and portfolio categories for the grades…

Not required: Is there another kind of filters (styling only) different from those that are in the videos?

Does this theme do the “job”?

Many thanks for replying me?

Hi again:

Is there any problem with the loading page speed? I test the demo on pingdom at takes more than 60 sec to load…. It is not possible….

Keep waiting your answers.

Regards

Hey nunomiguelm!

1. You can indeed have as many separate portfolios as you need – but the arrows for next/prev on the single portfolio page will still cycle through all items

2. That test is simply waiting for all the video files to fully load which is completely unrepresentative as to how fast the page it self loads and is usable (the videos buffer while they play)

Hi

Why can’t we update this through the WordPress admin ? It’s annoying to have to update through login to themeforest, download, the upload !!!

Please consider including an automated update feature….. surely can’t be that hard?

Hey claptrappdd, you can use the Envato toolkit plugin if you want to update from the dashboard :) http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-update-themeforest-themes-with-the-envato-wordpress-toolkit/

Wow – didn’t even know this existing! Will give it try. Thanks.

You’re welcome :)
