Hello,

I have a question about the portfolio.

I was wondering whether it is possible to remove the multiple links on hover with this setting: Meta below thumb w/ links on hover

I’d like the thumbnail to be a simple link, without the more details/ see larger options.

I’ve tried out the other project styles that offer something similar to this. However I quite like having the project excerpt separate from the thumbnail, and when I select the option to have the meta on hover and the entire thumbnail a link it doesn’t quite work out. On mouseover the project title is excluded or is half on and half out of sight.

As there’s not an option for this, would it be a case of putting some custom code in somewhere? If so, could you (somehow) direct me to the relevant part?

I was also hoping that you could tell me something about the compatibility of salient’s portfolio with taxonomy filter plugins.

Thanks very much!

Jasmine

Hey Jasmine,

Use the portfolio element within visual composer (if you are not already) instead of the portfolio page template. When configuring the options for it in there check the box for lightbox only :)

Cheers

Hey thanks very much for replying. I was hoping that the thumbnail image would be rendered as a link taking me to the project page. Instead this seems to just have removed the ‘more details’ bit, which makes sense considering the option “This will remove the single project page from being accessible thus rendering your portfolio into only a gallery.”

Just to reiterate, I’d like the entire thumbnail image to be a link to the project page, rather than having the fade out to grey and the two smaller button options. Lightbox only just means that I have the opportunity to view the image larger only.

Thanks

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

body .portfolio-items .col .work-item:not(.style-2):not(.style-3):not(.style-4) .work-info .vert-center a:first-child {
  display: none!important;
}
body .portfolio-items .col .work-item:not(.style-2):not(.style-3):not(.style-4) .work-info .vert-center {
  transform: none!important;
  -webkit-transform: none!important;
  top: 0!important;
  height: 100%;
}
body .portfolio-items .col .work-item .work-info a {
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0px;
  left: 0px;
  margin: 0px;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  opacity: 0!important;
  background-color: transparent!important;
  text-indent: -9999px;
}

Cheers

What code do I need to make the text on the sidebar larger? Also how can I remove the lines between the sidebar menu items?

Thanks for the great support and quick responses. Love the theme!

Hey!

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

div#sidebar {
  font-size: 20px;
}

Also if you change to the ascend skin in your general settings tab of the Salient options panel the lines will go away :)

Cheers

Will switching to the ascend skin change anything else on the site? What’s the difference between the two?

They have various different styles for elements – ascend is more minimalistic

I want to create a page with a sidebar that when links are clicked it opens a jot form on the same page. Is that possible? Trying to recreate this page using the theme. After looking at the page each one is a separate page. Is there any way in Salient to do that without having to make a ton of pages?

Here’s the page I’m trying to reproduce. http://shorefellowship.net/internal_forms

I figured it out. Realized I need to just make each form a new page with the same sidebar.

Hey – I’m glad you sorted it :)

Pre-sales question: Do blog category/tag archives have to use the masonry layout? Is it possible to give any archive template the same look as http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/blog/ ?

Hey!

You can set that in the Salient options panel :)

Hi is there a way of opening the side widget area with a simple text link in the secondary navigation??

Ok great, ive done this great. Also…

1. How do I add a simple shortcode button link in a page to open the side widget area?

2. Id like to change the 3 lines icon to a different icon in the navigation. If possible a flag or a golf cart?

Many thanks,

Josh

One more thing id like to add a simple text widget in the sidebar, but where the date would update automatically to each day – something like this…

Saturday 14th March 2015 Golf Course – OPEN

How could I do this?

Hey,

you’d need to mod the init.js file located in the js folder to allow this. Open that up and change this line:

$('body').on('click','.slide-out-widget-area-toggle a.closed:not(.animating)',function(){
to this:
$('body').on('click','.slide-out-widget-area-toggle a.closed:not(.animating), .custom-slide-out-link',function(){
then you’d simply need to add the class “custom-slideoutlink” to any anchor you desire :)

2. You’d need to modify the header.php file in regards

3. This would require the use of a plugin or some custom development

Cheers

Hey Nectar,

I’m having a few issues with the portfolio. My current version is 5.5.3 I created a Page and selected Portfolio from the VC. The Page Template is set to Default.

I selected “Single Project Nav Arrows Limited To Same Category” under the Salient settings but it doesn’t work. I can only go through the All the projects. I also created a page and added no shortcode and selected the portfolio template and the result was the same.

Also, The “Display Filters Horizontally?” option also doesn’t work with a Page using the Portfolio Template. It works fine using the shortcode on a default template, though like I mentioned, I still can’t the “Single Project Nav Arrows Limited To Same Category” to work.

1. Is there a fix for the “Single Project Nav Arrows Limited To Same Category?”

2. If there is, will it work using the Portfolio shortcode in the VC?

I believe this was all working fine prior to my update to 5.5.3

Here is my url: http://rollingspoke.com/gallery/

Hey poundcake23,

The current release (5.5.4) sorted the Single Project Nav Arrows Limited To Same Category option :)

Cheers

Sweet! I just updated to 5.5.4 and the Single Project Nav Arrows Limited To Same Category option works correctly. Thanks!

Good to hear :)

Hey,

Hello! Is it possible to hide featured images on blog page (not single post page, but at general blog page)? Actually I want to use them, but want them to be visible only in recent posts widget, search results and in blog/recent posts shortcodes. Thank you!

Hey – add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:

.posts-container .post-featured-img {
 display: none!important;
}

Cheers

Can you have a contact form in the slider to capture leads?

Thanks

Hey,

You could place a contact form in a slide by simply using the code/shortcode in the caption field :)

Cheers

Is there a way to break out rows in a portfolio without making the portfolio full width? Doesn’t seem to work for some reason.

Also, portfolios can’t be shown in a menu which is a bit of a bummer.

If you made the portfolio full width you could then use a column layout to simulate a sidebar if desired – but other than that there’s no easy way

No worries. Only issue with that is it looks a bit funny. Would be good if this was an option in the future.

I appreciate the feedback/request :)

Cheers

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 62390272) (tried to allocate 7680 bytes) in /home/--/public_html/wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/meta/page-meta.php(142) : runtime-created function on line 1

Hey,

It seems to be barley running out – if you contacted your host and asked them to increase your max php memory a little it should stop showing up :)

Hey ThemeNectar-Team,

very nice Theme. Two questions/problems:

1. I would like to translate the blog-page (http://www.mandel-entfernung.de/?p=93) but i don’t know how to do that. There is already a german .po and .mo-file included in the wp-content->languages folder and some strings are already translated …

: wp-includes/theme-compat/comments.php:91

msgid “Submit Comment” msgstr “Kommentar absenden”

Why isn’t it shown in the frontend? Where/how can i translate phrases like “Results For …”? How can i use the default-files of your theme?

2. I am using Chrome Version 41.0.2272.89 (64-bit) on OSX 10.10.1 When i seach for “ratschlag” in the headerbar, i got two results. After a click on one of the results, i see the spin but no page follows … It’s a problem with Chrome, in my firefox it works great. The “Standard-Animation” works in Chrome …

Thank you very much – also for that great theme …

Hey!

1. you need to do the translations in the theme lang folder and also set your WP lang in to match the needed language code in the wp-config.php file

define ('WPLANG', de_DE');

2. Try changing the transition method to the standard option in your page transitions tab within the Salient options panel :)

Cheers

Hey,

I saw you have added a new larger button’s sizes in sliders, which is great, but can you please also add and smaller (than “regular”) sizes? Thanks!

Hey – thanks for the request :)

Cheers

can we put main nav menu below or under slider?

Hey woodmarcom, not without custom development as of now unfortunately

Is there any way to remove the space between large icon and H1…

I need to have the large icon and H1 in the same line.

Thank

Hey Visad,

Have you tried putting the icon shortcode within the h1 tag?

Cheers

Hi there,

Contact form 7 Datepicker on iPad and iPhone displays additional ‘plus’ and ‘minus’ icons when using the time slider on these devices in order to make it easier to select the right time.

Salient displays the – and + signs, but also code of “ui-icon-min” and “ui-icon-plus” in the background. I found a Google post of someone else that this happened to and it appears that somewhere in their theme’s css was a “content” rule there for “[data-icon]:before” set to “attr(data-icon)”. Removing this fixed the problem for this person. Is it possible that a similar css rule is affecting this in Salient?

Thanks, Wizard247

http://sydneyicecream.com.au/enquire/ (not yet live)

Hey – you can remove that from the style.css file (just search for “content: attr(data-icon);”) – I’ve noted to look further into that as well

Excellent. Thank you. :)

You’re welcome :)

Hi,

How to remove nector love from the blog thumbnails?

Thanks!

Hey! Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.nectar-love-wrap {
  display: none!important;
}

Awesome, thanks a lot. Just wondering, is there a way that you can customize your social icons for header and footer?

Thanks!

Hey – if you needed to add custom icons you’d have to do so in the header.php or footer.php files :)

Cheers

How do I allow comments for “pages” (not posts)

Thanks

Hey – you’d need to add this into the page.php file:

 <div class="comments-section">
     <?php comments_template(); ?>
 </div>   

Cheers

Hello,

Thanks for all the help your team has given! I’ve got a small issue with getting my Title text in the Nectar Slider to look correctly on Mobile.

When viewed on desktop, the Title is 30px, and on Mobile it looks rather small, however the subtitle text looks fine. Is there a way to make is to on mobile the title is larger?

Thanks!

Hey! Could you kindly share your URL so I can check the settings you’re using?

www.haydendawkins.com, you’ll see the first title is ‘hayden dawkins’ and on mobile this gets rather small.

Hey – add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
body .nectar-slider-wrap[data-full-width="true"] .swiper-slide .content h2, body .nectar-slider-wrap[data-full-width="boxed-full-width"] .swiper-slide .content h2, body .full-width-content .vc_span12 .swiper-slide .content h2 {
  font-size: 34px!important;
  line-height: 22.5px!important;
}
}
