In all the old portfolio items, you could tick a box, whether you wanted to have the gallery slider activated or not. This is used for galleries in all our old portfolio items. Suddenly the gallery slider box is not visible anymore, when we make new portfolio items. This means that the galleries are broken in all our new portfolio items.
Any idea how to solve this?
Hey,
That option was removed since it is now obsolete – the image gallery element in the page builder offers the same display as that plus a ton of other options and th flexibility to move it where you need in the page rather than being forced to keep it at the top.
Cheers
Hiya,
On my homepage: http://demo.cornwallitservices.nhs.uk/photo/ please scroll to the section ‘Latest Adventures’ near the bottom, a couple of questions please.
1) Can this section (portfolio vc) be 4 square images rather than 16:9 as they are now?
2) In responsive mode can the 4 images become a grid of 4 instead of listing them down the page at 100% (so which class do I target to change the width to: 50%)
3) Can the rollover be changed anywhere so I can display a logo (no words etc)
Cheers Rich
Hey,
1. You’d need to modify this in the functions.php add_image_size( ‘portfolio-thumb’, 600, 403, true ); and regenerate your thumbnails
2.
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
.portfolio-items .elastic-portfolio-item {
width: 49.9% !important;
}
}
3. If it’s the same logo for all then it could be handled with css but different for each would need development
Cheers
can that function be pulled out and added into the child-theme functions.php please? If so would you be able to pastebin me the function please?
Also the css for the image rollover would be great and yes it would be the same image for every one 
1. Yes, just add this and modify it in the child theme
function nectar_add_image_sizes(){
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
add_image_size( 'blog-widget', 50, 50, true );
add_image_size( 'portfolio-thumb', 600, 403, true );
add_image_size( 'portfolio-widget', 100, 100, true );
add_image_size( 'wide', 1000, 500, true );
add_image_size( 'regular', 500, 500, true );
add_image_size( 'tall', 500, 1000, true );
add_image_size( 'wide_tall', 1000, 1000, true );
}
2.
.portfolio-items .col h3 {
background-image: url("http://demo.cornwallitservices.nhs.uk/photo/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/RPWhiteLogo.png");
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 100px;
text-indent: -9999px;
width: 100%!important;
}
Brilliant thanks, can I remove the + symbol with css? and also how do I change the transparency of those blocks please?
1.
body .carousel-wrap[data-full-width="true"] .portfolio-items .col .work-item.style-2 i, .portfolio-items .col .work-item.style-2 i {
display: none!important;
}
2. In the init.js file check out this line:
$(this).find('.work-info-bg').stop().animate({
'opacity' : 0.85
},250,'easeOutCubic');
Hey jocker017,
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
#post-area.full-width-content .masonry-blog-item, .full-width-content #post-area .masonry-blog-item {
margin-bottom: 0.8%!important;
width: 19.3%!important;
}
Cheers
Great! thank you!
You’re welcome
On this page: http://demo.cornwallitservices.nhs.uk/photo/journal/
I have been editing the entry.php code and wanted to move the excerpt so it appears under the featured image.
Here is the entry.php code: http://pastebin.com/d7X5rmYP
I did achieve this by moving the code lines 42 to 65 down to line 114 however it has a knock-on effect to the inner page and causes repeating if moved down.
Where should I move lines 42-65 please to make this work?
Cheers Rich
Make sure you still wrap it with
<?php if( !is_single() ) { ?>
<?php } ?>
Hiya,
I added this to my child functions.php file http://pastebin.com/kyLC1Wqi
// Override a javascript script in the main theme with the one in my child theme
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'javascript_init_script_fix', 20 );
function javascript_init_script_fix() {
wp_dequeue_script( 'nectarFrontend' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'salient-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/init.js', array( 'jquery' ) );
}
But it breaks the nectar slider: http://demo.cornwallitservices.nhs.uk/photo/
I have added the /js/init.js file to the child theme function as well
Any ideas what I am doing wrong please?
Update it also wont let me load the wp-admin either, but strangely the init.js changes work ???
Rich
I’m not seeing anything jump out with nectar slider – what is the issue you’re experiencing it? – also I’m just seeing your /wp-admin go to a 404 as if that’s not the correct location. If you remove that section your child theme does it allow you to access the page?
Have another look now, I just disabled the functions.php in child and then missed your response :( it’s now broken for you to see, please could you look now urgently :)
Hello, i want to create a portfolio in my homepage without margins on the images. Like the Demo. How can i do that?
Hey kaftakis, you just need to select the full width portfolio display option within your portfolio element in combination with any of the projects styles besides the default
Hi, for the child theme, will you be replacing the @import with wp_enqueue? I read on codex that is what should be used but I don’t know how to implement it?
Also, has mobile function changed because on the mobile part of google page speed, it says something about sizing tap targets and size viewport. It didn’t say this stuff about a month or two ago I think
Hey 1456932587,
1. wp_enqueue is used for all the stylesheets/scripts in the theme – you can see them in the functions.php file near the top
2. Nothing has changed like that – they might have added new tips. what is your URL so I can check it out?
Cheers
Hi Nectar again.
I have bought this fantastic plug-in: MelonHTML5 – Timeline
As I wanted to display posts etc. in a timeline manner.
Would you have any idea on how to add the Port Folio-items like the blog-post?
Cheers
Peter
Hey Peter,
I’m unfamiliar with that plugin but the portfolio items can only be displayed in the projects styles available – the blog layouts are a separate entity
Cheers
Hello, I am having problems figuring out how to get rid of the music that came with the theme that is looping and playing on my site. I couldn’t find the solution in the manual for some reason :/ Is there any way that you could help or point me to a forum that has the problem listed? Thanks!!
Hey alexandrabarlow, there’s no music that should be loaded with the theme – could you please share your URL so I can see what you mean?
Hey! Our link is www.primedesignfilms.com That is SO strange. I hope you can help me remove it because I have never herd this song before. Thank you
Hey! The sound is built into your video file added in the nectar slider: http://primedesignfilms.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/tianew.mp4
Thank you Theme Nectar!! That is so strange, getting rid of it now. Thank you for your help! Also, was wondering if you knew how I could make it load faster? It seems to be lagging a lot on everyones computer. Really appreciate your help!
You’re welcome – it seems you’re loading a .mov file, instead of that try and use the needed webm and mp4 formats
Hello!
Is it possible to add the author column to the Portfolio table in the admin? Right now it’s only Title and date.. Thank you!
Hey airviper,
It would require modding the nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php file in regards
Cheers
Im not sure if you fully understood what I was after, but i found the answer:
Add ‘author’ to the ‘supports’ row 3849 in salient/functions.php
and it will add the Author column in the Portfolio section in the admin
Sorry for any confusion – glad you found the applicable section
Hi! Is there a way to have 6 or 7 columns for the pricing table and have the columns smaller in size? right now there’s only 5 max I can add
Hey huyyy,
You’d need to use css to make that possible – also if you switch out of the visual composer tab you can modify the shortcode to include a couple more columns in the markup to get started
Still odd issues with iPhone 5s and Salient. Something with their iOS is creating a broken site. Apple had me reset my iPhone 5s and everything was fine with Salient sites, but today that changed. The iPad version works fine. Have you guys heard of any issues in regards to this? I checked a Salient site on 2 other people’s iPhones (iPhone 5s and iPhone 6) and the site worked fine.
Hey – I still haven’t gotten reports of the issues were you experiencing, but have been actively testing and listening to the feedback from users to see if there are issues
Thank you
You’re welcome
Thank you. Salient is a great theme!
Cheers
Is there a way to add a centered .png medium size image in a Nectar Slider, perhaps in the caption area? If so, what is the image size so that it will look well also on mobile devices where the medium size image will layer on top of the Preview Image. Thank you
Hey – Just use a .png that is still around 1200px wide with just some empty space on the left/right sides. This will allow it to still fill the container in the slider but give you control over the actual image size
What is the best image dimension for the slider as far as width and height?
Where would that go in the Nectar Slider section in each slider? This is something I would like to have as a logo/image to be viewable on both the front of the video slider as it’s moving, aside from the mobile version with just the image.
It would be placed in the caption field of the slider like:
<img src="your-source.png" />
Here’s an example page where I’m doing that on the demo: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/portfolio/geowolf-social/
What is the ideal size for a slider image / video slider image? Trying to keep the download speed small with the Home page. Will try this code out. Thank you
I created a png as you mentioned but with the height, it pushed down the buttons on the slider. I will try to create an image version that isn’t so large in height. Knowing the ideal image size for this and for sliders in general would be helpful indeed.
The issue I am having with the image is that on the iPhone, the button doesn’t show up below the logo image. I posted about this specific site I am working on in a ticket. If you can look at it, I would appreciate it as I can’t post the private client link here.
I’ll check the link out from your ticket in regards
Is there an easy way to remove the padding on either side of the site in mobile view? I can’t seem to find it anywhere in the CSS :-/
Hey SeanAUS120,
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
body .container, body div.slider-nav {
max-width: 100% !important;
}
}
Cheers
Last but not least… I promise! Is it possible to set the height for all page headers at the same time? For example, I want to have them at 250 px. Thanks!
Hey! Open your functions.php file and search for ”# Custom page header” to end up at the right place and change this:
$height = get_post_meta($postid, '_nectar_header_bg_height', true);to
$height = 250;
I’m sorry if I ask too much… But can you add an option to enable or disable the parallax effect for every page at one time in your next release? Thanks!
Hey – thanks for the request
Hey man! The ‘Inherit Row Color’ gave me an interesting idea, is it possible to change the color of the main header at every page? For example, we have too branches we’re working with: marketing and webdesign. For marketing we use common green colours, while we use blue colours for our webdesign branche.
I assume this feature would be possible with some .css styling. Do you the source? I assume it’s starting with: ’’html body #header-outer’’. Correct me if I’m wrong!
Thanks!
Hey!
You could accomplish that by using css in the css box within visual composer which would live on those specific pages
html body #header-outer {
background-color: #000!important;
}
I really miss a Scribd link for headers and footers.
Hey – it could be added manually now via the header/footer files but i’ve noted it for the wishlist
Very nice, thank you very much for your consideration.
Other thing also valid is to consider the inclusion of more networks icons as fonts usable as icon element.
Thanks for the additional request
I discharge my aks regarding Scribd, but I add my petition for a Reddit/StumbleUpon default share options inside posts, portfolios and products.
Hello—is it possible to align these backgrounds based on where I would like the emphasis to be?
For example:
http://www.artblend.com/mj/projects/Some logos are getting cut off, so I’m hoping to be able to either align center, right or left, depending on where the logo would be.
Thank you!
Hey!
You could give the column a class such as “left-aligned” and then add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.wpb_column.left-aligned {
background-position: left center!important;
}
Thanks!
You’re welcome
Is there a way to have the social media links on the top left to be moved to the top right? Also is there a way to make the social network links on the bottom to be centered and then below that to have the copyright info text centered as well? Urgent request. Thank you
Is there also a way to center the top social network icons above the logo and also have the social network on the bottom and then the copyright info below it centered as well.
Hey, add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
#header-secondary-outer ul {
float: left!important;
}
#header-secondary-outer #social {
float: right!important;
}
#copyright .col {
text-align: center !important;
width: 100% !important;
}
#footer-outer #copyright .col ul {
float: none!important;
width:100%!important;
}
#footer-outer #copyright li {
display: inline-block;
float: none!important;
margin-top: 20px;
}
Is there a way to add the copyright info below the social network buttons on the bottom of the site. Is there also a way to make the social network buttons on the top to be white instead of gray. I can’t seem to find a setting for this. Thank you for the CSS code!
I figured out the 2nd header color font. If you can help me with switching the copyright info on the bottom of the site where the social networks would be above the copyright info, that would be great! Thanks!
The code for the social networks on top end up having the social networks cover up the logo when the browser is shorter in width. Perhaps this also happens on the iPhone. Can you please send me the modified code to fix this? I wish this was a feature in Salient where we wouldn’t need code. Thanks
Hey – Could you share your URL so I can see the code in effect with your content?
I’ll open up a ticket and send you a private link
Sounds good
Thank you. Your help is appreciated. Keep me posted
Will do
I posted a ticket a few days. Hope to see from you soon as it’s rather urgent. Thank you
I just saw you responded. Thank you!
You’re welcome
