Hi,

Is there a way to add ‘likes’ to portfolio items like there is with blog posts?

Thanks,

Ben

Thanks – i’ll be with as soon as I can in regards :)

Thanks – I look forward to hearing from you!

You’re welcome and sorry for the delay!

Hiya ThemeNectar! I’m working on this theme for a client (www.sansicarus.com) so apologies I don’t have the Purchased banner! I have a few things I’m trying to manage that I’d really appreciate help with.

1) We’d really like the Portfolio to appear in Masonry style, however I can only see an option to set the Blog to Masonry. We want the Blog to stay standard. Help?

2) We’d like the social icons to the right of the copyright footer section to also be available in the blog sidebar. I’ve just copied the html and added it as a text widget but the list refuses to work horizontally and for some reason the icons all change colour on mouseover.

3) Is there an easy way to adjust the font weight and subtitle highlight colour on the front page?

Thanks so much for your help.

Ally

Hey Ally,

1. Are you sure you’re on the latest release? If so, make sure you’re using visual composer to set the layout option instead of the theme options panel

2. could you share the URL to the page in question so I could take a look?

3. The weight can be adjusted through the typography options tab in the Salient options panel but the color would require some css

Cheers

Thanks for your reply! 1 – Well, looks like he’s on version 2.1.5. That might explain some things!

2 – the site is www.sansicarus.com

3 – I think this is another thing that might need the update?

I’ve asked my client’s host to try and get the theme updated. Let’s see how it goes!

Sounds good!

2. Currently I’m seeing some other social icons in the sidebar – could you kindly put the footer ones back in so I can assist?

OK, I’m stuck….

I have a problem that is being replicated on both my phone, mac and different browsers.

I’ve cleared the cache on the machine and on cloudflare but each time I load the page the full screen Nectar Slider move down and a white gap appears at the top although the menu still reacts like the image is still under it? Please take a look at www.mrmarty.co.uk and tell me it’s just me? if not what could be causing it as I’ve gone through each and every menu option and even started a fresh page but still happens.

Marty

Hey,

Make sure you have nothing set for the page header bg on that page – clear all of the fields set such as the height and colors :)

Cheers

sorted….. stupid of me

No worries

Hi ThemeNectar,

Thank you always for your excellent support and wonderful updates!

I have one question:

I set up the call to action button from the Theme Options section so that three buttons will be shown: one “Email” button that jumps to our Contact Form page when clicked, and two phone number buttons by writing “Email TEL: 123456789 Mobile: 123456789” into the Call to Action Button Text part.

The function works fine but only the “Email” button color can be adjusted by changing the “Call to Action Button Color” option; how do I adjust the color of the two other buttons with the phone numbers and the text color of these buttons as they appear in a different color? i.e., I changed “Email” button” to purple but the other two buttons are light blue for some reason; I want to change them to purple too just like the “Email” button”!

For your reference, please check here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/86001863/URL.txt and my current custom CSS: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/86001863/customCSS.txt

I assume it’s just a simple custom CSS problem, please help!

Thank you kindly in advance.

Great to hear!

Unfortunately that dropdox txt file is now going to a 404 so I can’t get the URL at the moment

Hi, The problem turned out to be a bad install of the updated theme file, I uninstalled and reinstalled and everything is okay now :-)

Glad you sorted it! :)

Hi

apologies for re posting this but not sure if you will see my replies on later posts.

I am trying to setup a multi language site (just Italian and English for now) and received this link in order to achieve this http://themenectar.ticksy.com/faq/2242 however it doesnt explain how i go about setting up a drop down menu plugin (recommended for salient) with the flags etc as well as implement the multi language system. This is something new to me so a good video or explaining it in detail will be a gr8 help.

Thanks guys

Hey!

That is offered as an option in the WPML plugin :)

Cheers

Thanks, through a bit of research i have figured it out….appreciate the feedback.

You’re welcome :)

Hey Guys,

Congratulations for the lovely theme, it seems you have covered everything.

A few questions before purchasing it:

1. Does it support ‘multi language’?

2. Does it have restricted area option or is it compatible with any plugin which offers restricted area?

3. Can I change the style of mobile menu?

4. Can I add a fullwidth slide with the option to play video from youtube or vimeo? (it could be even a lightbox)

5. Is it possible to change the ‘portfolio’ name for another word from on the URLs?

Thank you :)

Hey davidpachecoo!

1. Yes, through WPML

2. No custom theme specific options for pw restriction are available other than the default WordPress one

3. That would require some custom development

4. You can have a button link from your Nectar Slider to pop open a video embed in a lightbox

5. Yes, that option exists in the theme options panel

Cheers

Is there anyway to make a regular Image Gallery in Nectar Slider Style not “rewind” and instead just loop back to the first slide, or also fade instead of sliding?

Hey bryvntxiii,

The option for a fade transition was added a few updates ago – make sure you’re on the current release of the theme to get that feature. Also you can toggle the loop feature on the slider, but the slider will always continuously rotate if you have the autorotate set (it will be cleared when the user interacts with the slider)

Cheers

Hey! I LOVE your theme but am having a tout time on something. For some reason (and I’m not exactly sure when this happened – may have been at the new wordpress update) but I don’t have access to the Salient dashboard in my wordpress backend. I updated the theme but am still having a problem. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Thanks jessicabauer!

Have you tried to check with your hosting provider as to if there’s any fatal errors being recorded in the error log?

Cheers

Hi there: #7777

I have troubles whit the “simple carrusel for any content” here http://pisoquintopost.tv/ 1. I put a link in the images but they dont work, what can I do? (clik in “LA TRUCA” LOGO) 2. How can I put columns like the “clientes display”?, I use this couse I need the grayscale rollover…

Tnx fot help

Hey – I currently don’t see a clients slider on that URL could you verify it’s still on that page?

its at the bottom of the page, in the middle column

Ah, that’s technically a recent projects slider so I was looking for the actual clients element – change your snippet to:

 .portfolio-items img {
 -webkit-filter: grayscale(100%);
 -moz-filter: grayscale(100%); 
-ms-filter: grayscale(100%); 
-o-filter: grayscale(100%); 
filter: grayscale(100%); 
filter: url(grayscale.svg); /* Firefox 4+ */ 
} .portfolio-items .col:hover img { 
-webkit-filter: grayscale(0%); 
-moz-filter: grayscale(0%); 
-ms-filter: grayscale(0%); 
-o-filter: grayscale(0%); 
filter: grayscale(0%); 
filter: url(grayscale.svg); /* Firefox 4+ */ 
} . 

Hi, this is such a great theme. Would it be possible to set the slider to stop on the last slide?

Hey,

open the nectar-slider.js file located in the js folder and delete this segment:

else {
            $nectarSliders[sliderNum].swipeTo(0,800);
        }

Cheers

Hey

absolutely fantastic theme – thank you!

But I have an issue with the headline on the home slider. The caption runs over two lines. And the background of the caption overlaps with eachother. I guess the line-height should be increased. I tried it with the following custom css code:

body #featured article .post-title h2 span { font-size: 40px!important; line-height: 65px !important; }

On the home slider it works, but if I minimize the browser window or switch to the mobile version, the headline is not responsive anymore! The button disappears and the second line gets cut. I would also decrease the height of the background if possible. Either way would be fine for me.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Add this into the custom css box:

@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
body #featured article .post-title h2 span, .swiper-slide .content p, #portfolio-filters-inline #current-category, body .vc_text_separator div {
    line-height: 81px !important;
}
}

thx!

You’re welcome :)

Hi Nectar. Is there a way to use the Ascend theme with the original ajax search that appears in the header instead of the full page version? Also, any updates on the new demo pages? Thanks!

Hey!

1. Right now that would require some modding to the header.php file and the init.js file located in the js folder to get rid of the conditionals which check for the ascend skin

2. It’s out now :)

Hey, :)

I’m making preliminary plans for a political candidate’s campaign site that would feature e.g. an event calendar, a facebook feed and a twitter feed. We’d use Salient ofcourse. :) I though – could you recommend a calendar plugin (that would show the candidate’s important campaign dates)?

Cheers, Teemu

Hey Teemu,

I don’t have an official one to recommend but if you encounter any issue with some just let me know

Hey,

okay. Thank you.

You’re welcome :)

Hey ThemeNectar,

1) A minor issue: I just noticed that the line-height of Page Headline in the mobile size is too small (i.e. the lines overlap). Pls, check for example http://teemuluoma.fi/portfolio/finnair-peace-of-mind/ in the smallest mobile screen size. I’m using the newest version of IE. Could I control this line height?

2) How could I control the normal body text line height?

Thank you, and wishing you a pleasant day, Teemu

Hey,

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

@media only screen and (max-width: 1300px) and (min-width: 1000px) {
body #page-header-bg .span_6 h1, html body .row .col.section-title h1, h1 {
    font-size: 44px !important;
    line-height: 57px !important;
}
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
.single-portfolio #full_width_portfolio .row .col.section-title h1, .single-portfolio .row .col.section-title h1 {
    font-size: 40px!important;
}
}

Hey, :)

that works great! Thank you. I just replaced the min-width 1000 px with 691 px so that the 691 – 1300 px range is being covered.

Cheers

Good to hear! :)

hello! excuse me i just bought salient! it is awesome! i love it! i wanted to know if i could move the search icon to the secondary menunavigation??? thankyou! :)

Hey gurudeviaje,

This would require modding the header.php file in regards

Cheers

Hello,

I was wondering if I can apply that prettyphoto video popup throughout the site and not only limit it to a button URL on the nectar slider..?

For example, I would like to add an image of a play button and when clicked on it the video will popup the same way it does on the nectar sliders.

I tried downloading a few lightbox plugins that do this but they don’t look as crisp. Hope this is an easy solution. Hope to hear from you soon thanks.

Hey icebox10,

use this in the text tab on your editor:

<a data-hover-text-color-override="#fff" class="pp" data-hover-color-override="false" data-color-override="#20CFEF" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yarB1NCyqfs" target="_blank"><span>Facebook</span> </a><

Cheers

I posted a ticket 3 days ago. Ends with 73 in the ticket. Can you please look into this. Thank you.

Thank you for responding. It would be greatly appreciated if you can check into that ticket. Much appreciated.

Of course, cheers :)

Keep me posted

Hey, hopefully this’ll be the last one for a little while!

But I have a few requests if you could assist!

I have disabled the navigation of the header in the portfolio pages which is great. But we would also like the following things -

A close button in the top right corner that takes you back to the portfolio page. So it sits pretty much where the search button is (which i’ve disabled).

The name of the project to sit in the center of the navigation bar, if this is at all possible? So in the top you’d have ‘logo’ – ‘project title’ – ‘close button’.

And I’ve used the shortcodes to make some buttons but I’d like them to go to the next project but I’m not sure what to link them to in order to get this to work?

Your help would be amazing!

Thanks!

Joe

Hey Joe,

Unfortunately that would take some custom development a but beyond what I can assist with – but the modding would need to take place in the single-portfolio.php file :)

Cheers

I see, thanks. The main thing I need assistance with is the button to go to next project. Is there any way at all to get a shortcode button to do the same as your built in next/prev project arrow buttons?

The other things are not necessary but would be nice :)

Cheers!

Not without some PHP unfortunately as a WordPress function would need to be called to replicate that
