Hello!

I want my header logo to be centered (but only logo, text should remain on the right side): I found a code that helped me do that:

”@media only screen and (min-width: 1300px) { #header-outer #logo .starting-logo { position: absolute!important; left: 478px!important; } } @media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) and (max-width: 1300px) { #header-outer #logo .starting-logo { position: absolute!important; left: 368px!important; } }” but my logo is centered only when header is transparent, when I scroll down and header is changing to solid, the logo return to left position. I would greatly appreciate your help..

my page is www.tbadwokat.pl

Thank You!

Hey!

Add this in as well:

header#top #logo img {
    left: 0;
    position: absolute;
}
header#top .span_9 {
    float: right!important;
}

I have recently updated to the last edition of the salient. I created a new page, added some elements and rows using visual composer and now I getting:

Your page layout was either created with a previous Visual Composer version or you have elements/text located outside of VC rows (which could have occured if you switched into the classic editor view to make changes). Visual Composer requires all content be contained within rows to render correctly – before converting your layout to the new version, make sure to read this page.

Thanks in advance

Hey manosmores,

please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s causing that :) themenectar.ticksy.com

Hi~ I have some question before purchase this. If I purchase this theme, can I download demo file? Where can I download demo file? Or Does it include in purchased file?

I want to adopt…

http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/home-portfolio-eye-candy/ this style to my website.

How can I do this?

Would you please answer to my question? I want to purchase and adopt this theme as soon as possible.

Hey caramelhip,

The dummy data sets are included with the ThemeForest download :) Here’s a tutorial on importing them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wKJFYCZN1U&index=1&list=PLL7Ay33CTsIAVMPtw3KPsAwDzr_XoVLeq

Hello!

1. Are there any known issues with “Pages to Exclude the Call to Action Section”? I can select whatever page i want, the call to action apears on every page.

2. I build a childtheme having only the css-file. Problem is I’m getting a 404 for /css/responsive.css because it want’s to be loaded from my childtheme-directory instead of the parent. Fix: functions.php:196 replace get_stylesheet_directory_uri() with get_template_directory_uri().

Correct – if you want to remove the CTA on project pages, add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel :)

.single-portfolio #call-to-action {
 display: none!important;
}

Perfect, thanks.

You’re welcome :)

Hi there, Pre sales questions here:

- Can I have a logo centered in the header options? - Does it work with Revolution slider? - Are there shop shortcodes / page builder components like product sliders etc ? (All I could see was the standard Woocommerce shop page)

Thanks

Hey anton123!

1. Yes, but with css for now that I can provide.

2. Yes it does.

3. There is no additional WooCommerce functionality above what’s seen in demo at the moment.

Cheers

Thanks, just revisiting this. I saw from a more recent comment on whether Revolution Slider can be used, and you replied “Yes but if you need use the slide in a full width layout, you’d need to call it through a template file for it to work correctly” – Question is: so it doesn’t work out the box and I have to add some code to the functions.php? Please advise. Also – does your shortcode buttons work with Rev slider? (the buttons used in your own slider). Thanks

The function to call it is: (replace slider1 with your sliders name)

<?php putRevSlider(“slider1”) ?>

Also you should be able to use nectar buttons if slider rev can parse shortcodes you place in the content area

Hi!

I just bought your theme and I loved it!! The only thing I can’t figure out so far is how to increase the font size on the accordion. Can you help me with that?

Thanks! Ben

Hey Ben!

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

body .toggle h3 a {
  font-size: 26px!important;
}

Cheers

Worked perfect! Thanks!!

You’re welcome :)

Great theme!

Q : In your Nectar slider I wish to play a full screen Vimeo hosted video in the BG behind the ‘heading’ content. I don’t see an option for this however. It seems like the only way to do full width is by uploading files.

Hey hussain_subzwari!

That’s correct for now – self hosted was the preferred method for video BG’s due to the superior control compared to iframe embeds.

Cheers

hi, i have the same questions of Hanschristian, if i installed W3C the theme is far but when i click on internal link don’t work. i must to press F5 for refresh page. If i don’t load W3C the link work but the theme is very slow. Can you help me please Thanks

yes http://www.alessandrobarbato.it/rendering-fotorealistico/ if i open the web site with iphone 5s o Ipad 2 when i click a link or portfolio i must refresh ever for see

And sorry i have another question, is possible to change the speed of translation in the slide gallery? for example i inser a slide gallery in portfolio theme. Thanks

Hey again,

1. So the issue doesn’t seem to be caused by js/css minification since there’s no console errors and it appears you’re using bwp for that, so it’s probably other settings you have on within W3. I would try to remove active settings until you find the one causing the problem

2. For the flexslider style you’ll need to open the init.js file located in the js folder add this

slideshowSpeed: 7000, 
into this
 
$that.flexslider({
    animation: 'fade',
    smoothHeight: false, 
    animationSpeed: 500,
    useCSS: false, 
    touch: true
});

Hi – I’m wanting to use a lazy load plugin (only loads images above screen fold to speed up load time) for my portfolio page that has 90+ items on it.

Here is the plugin I’m using: https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-lazy-load/

The issue is that it looks like it clashes with jquery used in the portfolio. The first couple rows work fine, but then everything gets all smushed together.

See here: http://www.mutual125.com/vote/

I’ve tried multiple similar lazy load plugins and the outcome is the same. Any thoughts as to how to address this conflict?

Thanks.

Hey again Tony!

That’s because the isotope plugin which powers the portfolio requires that the images be loaded prior to calculating their positions – have you considered using the ajax loading option for the portfolio? It would essentially do the same thing except it’s been developed to work correctly

Cheers

OK that makes sense. I am using theme version 4.1. Is the AJAX option available somewhere I’m not seeing it or do I need to upgrade themes first?

4.1 was actually the version it was added in – you just need to choose “Infinite scroll” for the pagination type :)

Hey, I want to setup my ‘shop’ to be three columns with the product image left aligned and the product description right aligned. What I have been playing around with so far is making my shop categories custom pages, using your shortcode and woocommerce product shortcode, I am however running into problems getting the text to sit on the right instead of underneath.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Try adding:

.woocommerce ul.products li.product h3 {
    float: left;
}
.woocommerce ul.products li.product .price, .woocommerce-page ul.products li.product .price {
  display: block!important;
}
.woocommerce .products .price .amount {
    display: block!important;
    float: left!important;
}

Sorry I was unclear, when I say ‘amount’ I don’t mean price, I mean number of that product currently in the shopping cart.

Ah gotcha – that would indeed require some custom development as you’d be altering the data that needs to display

Hi – on my portfolio pages on mobile devices, tapping on the image does not bring up the “view larger” or “learn more” buttons. Instead it goes straight into the full page portfolio.

Is there any way I can make the settings so that on mobile, touching the featured image for the portfolio brings up these same buttons as hovering would over a traditional desktop/laptop? Thanks!

Hey tonypantello!

That would actually require some js development to make it work perfectly – but if you want to remove the css removing the button delete this from the responsive.css file located in the css folder:

.portfolio-items .col .work-item .work-info a {
    display: block;
    height: 100%;
    left: 0;
    margin: 0;
    opacity: 0 !important;
    position: absolute;
    text-indent: -9999px;
    top: 0;
    width: 100%;
}

Cheers

Found the answer right after I posted

Good to hear JenM120 :)

Cheers

Hey ThemeNectar,

For the Shortcode “Text with Icon” how can I make the icon bigger?

Thanks!

Hey Creativo_MX!

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

.iwt-icon .icon-default-style[class^="icon-"] {
    font-size: 57px !important;
}
.iwithtext .iwt-text {
    padding-left: 76px!important;
}

Cheers :)

Hello Nectar!

I have three things that I am trying to figure out but I’m not sure what code I need to delete to do these things.

I want to…

1. Delete the search function from the menu bar. 2. Delete mobile site. 3. Add a divider in the menu (exactly like the one thats normally between menu elements and the search feature).

Thanks.

Hey PointPerGame!

1. There’s a theme option coming for this in the next update, but for now: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/52594/search/

2. You can turn off the responsive design in the theme options panel general settings tab

3. This would need to be done through custom css

Cheers

Hello Nectar,

I have a widget that loads when I use the direct link to my page: http://operationescape.ca/booking/

However, on my home page (operationescape.ca) when I click on my nectar slider button it redirects me to the booking page and the widget doesn’t load.

Is there any solution for this problem?

Here is the html code for the widget: <script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://bookeo.com/widget.js?a=3153HJRP7N1481E2566CE”></script>

When I click on the menu link at the top of my home page the widget doesn’t load. I still have to figure this one out.

okay I got it, there is a menu option for a custom url.

Hey szetor! Glad you got it :)

Cheers

Hi Nectar. Have a similar question as Hanschristian. I can’t seem to get a decent score from page speed or yslow. For example, I get really low scores regarding Specify image dimensions and Serve scaled images when using the blog recent post shortcode. I also get low scores on Defer parsing of JavaScript. It would be great if there was some guides for using W3 or some other plugin that can be used with this theme. Thanks and keep up the great work.

Hey joe88!

1. If you’re on a relatively new release of Salient the recent posts shortcode will serve images at 600px x 400px.

2. Please see my response to Hanschristian in regards :)

Cheers

Oh and while I’m thinking about. When waiting for the Nectar Slider to load on the home page there’s a grey box with grey diagonal lines as the place holder I’m guessing while waiting

It’s only a style thing but is there a way to replace this image?

Many thanks again. Awesome Awesome work!!!!!!

Hey again!

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

.nectar-slider-loading {
  background-image: url('your-img.jpg')!important;
}

Cheers

Hi Guys, I know your super busy but I have been looking around like mad and I can’t work it out.

With Woocommerce your single page setup is that the product description is set to the right of the images.

Is there a way to have this below and span the full width of the page?

Many thanks

Marty

Hi Mate, thanks for speedy response! Awesome worked a treat but also moved other info with it. All I want to do is keep the Image on the left, title, price etc as are to the right of the image and the product description below as our descriptions are pretty long and in one column it looks wrong if you see what I mean.

Many thanks again…

Actually, sorry have worked it out…

Glad to hear! :)

Cheers

Hi,

I noticed that you’re providing the W3 Total Cache solution to the people is asking about the load time using Salient.

The fact is: the theme is using 10 CSS files and 29 JS files, loading every time. And I ask: it is really necessary? Could you reduce the JS files at minimum possible?

I’m not a JS expert and I’m getting some issues by using the JS files compression by using W3 Total Cache. I don’t have to use this plugin if the developer makes the code with better practices. It is very easy to let the customer the problem of the load time. But this is a real BIG problem that is only related to the theme developer.

While you find a way to use less JS files, please could you tell us which is the best configuration of the W3 Total Cache plugin? Because the tutorials I read on the net doesn’t work fine for me.

Thanks.

Hey Hanschristian,

The theme actually has a maximum of 14 JS files that it can load at a time assuming all applicable options are turned on i.e. Ajax Loading, infinite scrolling, smooth scrolling etc. Are you sure you’re not counting scripts loaded from plugins and WP itself? Every feature based update receives some sort of performance enhancement, so the one coming out in 1-2 weeks will as well.

The autominify & combine option in W3 is not recommend unless you can keep the script loading order the same as it is by default or else things can break – unfortunately that’s the nature of minifcation and most guides will explain it takes finesse. However I recommend W3 to users for all of its other features such as caching (which is also a key part of increasing performance). If you want to try and combine the scripts from a plugin your best bet would be: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bwp-minify/ since it seems to keep the order correct most of the time thus not breaking the scripts. :)

Cheers

will you have images with hotspot soon? like this: http://www.kriesi.at/themes/enfold/shortcodes/images-with-hotspots/

Hey suzanka, that feature was not on the wishlist yet – but i’ve noted it now :)

Cheers
