Is the current version 100% compatible with Wordpress 4.0 or do you recommend waiting for the new version before upgrading to Wordpress 4.0?
Hey aydinyunusoglu,
From my testing I have found no issues 
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar,
I hope you’re doing good!
I have one question to see if I’m doing something wrong or if there’s a bug. I have a blog on my website and if I try to add the “recent posts” element on any of the posts, the blog becomes completely blank. The whole website works as it should but only the whole blog page loads forever and gives a timeout in the end. Strangely this doesn’t happen if I add the element on a portfolio item or a regular page for example.
Is this supposed to be this way?
Thanks you a lot in advance for the help.
Ps: I tried to deactivate some plugins to see if it’s causing the problem with the same results 
Hey TheChuckOne! That’ll be solved in the upcoming release – for now please just fill out the excerpt field on the post using that element to clear the issue
Hey Phil!
Thanks a lot again! It worked perfectly (as usual)
I would’ve never guessed it that it would be something with excerpts!
Thanks again
You’re very welcome
Hi there, I can’t seem to get rid of this black space that shows up between the home slider and the gray section:
http://companies.oneoc.org/Can you help? I’m not sure how this happened..it was working fine before and the black space came up out of no where.
Thank you!
Update: Okay, I used a image for the logo instead of jsut text, and it worked! Hmm..
Hey cvuong!
If you want to switch back to a text logo at any point please just let me know when to take a look
Feature Request: In a single post, I’ve <body class=”single single-post post-id…” etc. but not category-#, which would be nice for some category-based CSS.
Could this be something for a later release, or is it to specific and I’d have to do for myself this with a child-theme? adding this to body_class() via functions.php would be the right way, or not?
Thanks Karsten
I added this to functions.php and it works fine (for me):
function category_id_class( $classes ) {
global $post;
foreach ( get_the_category( $post->ID ) as $category ) {
$classes[] = $category->taxonomy.'-'.$category->term_id;
}
return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'post_class', 'category_id_class' );
add_filter( 'body_class', 'category_id_class' );
Hey Karsten!
Thanks for the request and for posting your code for others
Hi There,
First off we want to congratulate you on the success of this awesome wordpress theme. Really great work!
We’ve just released an Add-on Plugin for Visual Composer and a customer of ours has informed us that it is not working within the modified version of Visual Composer that comes packaged with Salient.
Our plugin is built to all Visual Composer’s coding standards and works beautifully on all default versions of Visual Composer.
Can you kindly provide a bit of details about what might need to be changed within our plugin to allow it to play nicely with your modifications to Visual Composer?
Please feel free to email us at info [at] truethemes.net
Thank you very much for your time.
Hey TrueThemes! I’ll shoot you an email now
Cheers
What is the most appropriate size for the slider?
Hey dyo87, the slider can be any size you need it – if you’re trying to keep your images init without clipping with the responsive views make sure to check the box for “flexible height” If you need further help, please share your URL so I can check out the images you’re using.
Cheers
Is there any way to reference the accent-color in elements that do not have it as an option? For example the background color of a column or row requires you to select a color from a color picker. It would be better if we can just add the class to the element so that if the accent color changes we don’t have to hunt through hundreds of elements where we have hard coded the accent color.
By the way I currently handle this by adding these classes to my global styles:
.bg_accent{background-color: #000} .bg_extra1{background-color: #000} .bg_extra2{background-color: #000} .bg_extra3{background-color: #000}
I use the above classes in the extra classes field of most elements instead of using the background color. If I change the accent colors I have to update the styles.
Hey stueynet,
currently there are no classes like that by default – but I’ve noted to add them for this purpose
Some quick question, is there a way we can make tables for something in this?
https://www.web-hosting.net.my/domain-name-registration.htmlHey largeserver! That looks closer to a raw html table element you could use in your editor – the main difference would be the lack of the hover effect
How easy or difficult would it be to add text to the homepage slider that is see through to the background, like this: http://hixsnedeker.com/ ?
Rich
Hey Rich,
If it was to be overlaid onto of the content below the slider, there would need to be a fair deal of development
Cheers
Overlay on the slider I thought would be amazing, any tips to at least try this on the nectar slider, obviously I can use the css from the demo link I sent you.
Hi ThemeNectar,
I think that with new update is some problem with masonry dimensions in portfolio. For example, if I upload image to „Custom thumbnail image“ which is 1600px wide and 800px tall and in „Masonry Item Sizing“ set up „Wide“ — image is stretched to square… And if I upload image with 800×1600 and set up for this image „Tall“ — wide of image stay 400px (on my display) but high is tretched to 1600 px… And „Tall & Wide“ option makes from image which is 1600×1600px image 800×1600 px (on my display)...So it is a stretched rectangle also. Do you know where is the problem? Or can you explain me please how to properly set up images for masonry style portfolio?
Thank you very much, Petr
Here is an example: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54924896/Fotky/Home-Imreczeova.jpg
Hey Petr!
You just need to use the featured image instead of the custom thumbnail option to get accurate sizing/auto cropping
Cheers
OK, thanks for your fast reply! I tried your advice, but no succes. Maybe I’am missing something!?
Here are my screen captures:
Option 1: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54924896/Fotky/Wide%26Tall-Option-Capture-01.JPG Option 2: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54924896/Fotky/Wide-Option-Capture-02.JPG Result: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54924896/Fotky/Homescreen-Capture.JPG I would like to do this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54924896/Fotky/Salient-masonry-example.JPGIf I set up option ’’Regular’’ (with for example 1600×1600 px image) then it is just smaller square which has aproximattely 330×330 px dimensions (on my screen).
Thanky you, Petr
Hey again! Could you kindly share your actual page URL so I can see what’s going on in the code?
Hi, thank you for your reply. It is strange behaviour…It looks like featured images are dependet on each other. For example, if I set up for first image which is completely left ’’Wide & Tall’’ and other images, which are right next to first image, have seted up ’’Regular’’ — All is OK. But if I set up (for example) for second image from left side of portfolio ’’Tall’’, first images start to stretch his high (maybe on double size)...
Thanks a lot, Petr
Here is url: http://imreczeova.com/wpnew/
Hey again!
Can you please go through the projects that are still using the custom thumbnail e.g. http://imreczeova.com/wpnew/wp-content/uploads/masonary-800x1600-01.jpg http://imreczeova.com/wpnew/wp-content/uploads/masonary-400x400-02.jpg etc and use the featured image instead? If you need assistance switching them all over or if there’s still an issue after doing that please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on themenectar.ticksy.com/
Yea,
thanks a lot! Problem solved…My mistake and good advice from you. All stretches of imges was thanks to custom thumbnail and than thanks to mixture of custom thumbnail a featured image.
Have a nice weekend.
Petr
Good to hear Petr!
Cheers
In responsive mode the first nectar image needs to go full height as it’s not currently doing so
Sorry for all the messages Rich
Hey – can you try updating the theme and then letting me check on this again?
All updated to the latest version now – all working
Good to hear
Rich
It looks like you’re on an older release of Salient which has this conflict with recent WP versions. Just update the theme to get the fix
All updated to the latest version now – all working
Good to hear
I would like to have multiple carousels on one page but when I attempt to do this the responsive styling gets messed up.
Right now I have two carousels on the page, when reducing the size of the page the CSS works on the second one but not on the first. If I reduce the browser size then refresh the page the styling comes up correct. I believe its an issue with the carousel not correctly adjusting its width to the actual browser size.
My website isn’t online yet so I can’t show you what I’m talking about but any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hey tylermac!
Are you using either of the carousels in full width content rows or regular in container? I’m trying to replicate on my end
Cheers
Thanks for the reply. They are single full width carousels.
I took two screenshots of the page to make it easier on you. The first is the carousels when I first load the page with the CSS looking correct: http://www.evo-lite.com/misc/carousel-issue-1.jpg.
The second is when I reduce the width of the browser, you can see the carousel content not shifting with the page on the top: http://www.evo-lite.com/misc/carousel-issue-2.jpg.
Hey! Have you modded the column numbers for them as well? It appears there’s only one item showing at a time where as the default is limited to three
I did modify the code to show 1 item. I used another comment here as reference. Here is my init.js file with the modifications.
http://www.evo-lite.com/misc/init.jsGot it – from my further testing I’ve realized this is indeed a bug. I will take care of it for the upcoming release
Do you know when the next release will be available?
A few days
Great theme guys and girls. Just a quick question: i can’t seem to adjust the text when I hover over my portfolio. it still says “watch video” and “more details”. I already adjusted this in template-portfolio.php but doesn’t seem to work. Now i’m stuck. Anyone?
Hey preshot!
If you’re using the Visual Composer or Shortcode to place your portfolio you’ll need to edit nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php instead
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar, still a graet theme but adjusting as you said isn’t an option for me. I keep getting an internal server error when i edit nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php . Since my site is in Dutch, I would really like to adjust this. Any other options? Thanks
You probably made an accidental syntax error in your editing – can you paste in here just the lines you modded?
And lastly for today in the section under my header I want to create a mini layout eg like this: http://marquee-demo.squarespace.com/#about (scroll down past header to see it)
The images need to pop open in a lightbox overlay when clicked is that easily possible?
Cheers Rich
Hey again!
Are you referring to the column layout with the header “A Destination”?
Sure am bud
I have put in a grid using the visual composer (see later post) I am having issues though with sizing the images and text so everything fits and lines up perfectly, see ‘A Destination’ section on: http://richpearson.co.uk/
Gotcha, I’ll answer on that comment in regards
I would also like to remove the line below the transparent menu what css do I need for that please
That option is coming in the upcoming update but for now:
html body #header-outer.transparent[data-transparent-header="true"] {
border: none!important;
}
Brilliant thanks bud
You’re welcome
Hey,
I have my header set to full width and transparent, I would like to bring the logo in to the right by 100px and likewise the menu on the right needs to be moved in to the left by 100px as well – what css do I need please to achieve this?
Cheers Rich
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
body #header-outer[data-full-width="true"] header > .container, body #header-secondary-outer[data-full-width="true"] > .container {
padding: 0 128px !important;
}
Perfect thank you
This is going to seem like a really simple question, but I cannot figure it out for the life of me. How can I get the menu font from Ascend to be my menu font? I uploaded the demo data and chose Ascend as the theme in settings, but can’t figure it out. It’s making me feel like a complete idiot right now.
http://jahenry.wpengine.com/Hey jah713!
You can set that menu font in your typography options tab in the Salient options panel – choose “Lovelo” for the navigation
Cheers
Hi Salient-team,
can you give me ur private e-mail? I have a suggestion SO GOOD that I know it will be implemented in your next update. And it is SO good, that I dont want other developers to know about it. Also, I think you earn this idea, because your service and support is the best I have ever experienced!
you didnt like my idea?
Hey Peter – Life’s been hectic recently – my apologies
Hi, my favourite webdev!
Question: I dont like top-categories to be clickable/ have their own site. I just wanted the category top-menus to be “empty containers” with dropdown choices.
What I did try was creating one with no URL. However, then the cursor goes like a marker, ready to select text, which is not what I wanted.
+ it should also work in mobile-menu.
Any suggestions?
Hey!
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
header#top nav ul li a[href=""] {
cursor: default !important;
}
