i love this theme!
just one question: how can i manipulate the breaking point font size? For me the font size (within the big full screen sliders) turns out too small after the first breaking point. how can i change that?
Thank you very much!
Hey white29!
It would take some css – if you could share your URL in regards I’d be glad to assist 
Cheers
how do I get my blog to look exactly like the demo?
Hey – the dummy data sets are called “modern creative” and “creative blog” – once you import either of them make sure to also import the theme options text file included the dummy data folder (that goes into the theme options panel > import tab)
Hi I just realized that my portfolio page is pulling from my HOME page instead of the actual PORTFOLIO page.
I tried it with portfolio2 and that works too. Just NOT the actual portfolio. What is going on?
my site is iwork3.us
Thanks!
nvm. it’s working again. by any chance, would you know where it would do that?
why. not where.
Hey meic01,
It’s hard to say without having seen the page at the time that the issue was present – if it ever occurs again please let me know so I can take a look
Cheers
i will! thanks again for taking the time. it really was an oddity. and i was looking at everything – n they all looked in place. which is why it was really weird that it was even happening.
thank you!
You’re welcome
Please could you minify all of the bundled JavaScript files and optimise all images in the Salient theme. It would make the theme load a lot, lot faster leading to happier customers.
At the moment Salient is too slow to load – and it’s easy to make it faster.
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fthemenectar.com%2Fdemo%2Fsalient-frostwave%2F&tab=mobileAt the moment, I need to manually minify the CSS and JS and Images every time there is an update.
Hey coliff, it’s more appropriate to use a plugin such as bwp minify for this then to ship the theme in a state where it would be very hard to edit
Cheers
I’m trying to change the size and font style for standard H1 tags but each time I do I seem to change the settings for page heading at the same time. The same happens in reverse.
How I can set them both independently of eachother as I’d like to keep the page heading the same size and only increase and modify the style for the h1. Thanks in advance.
Nevermind I think i was confused :-s. Ignore this for now.
Hey – glad you sorted it
Hi there, is there a way to disable the price and frequency text in the pricing table??? I just want to add the details of the package and a button for more information. Thanks in advance
Hey – add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.pricing-column h4, .pricing-column .interval {
display: none!important;
}
i cant find visual composer when i edit pages and post. anything suggestion to fix it?
Hey EchoingCo, have you installed it via the plugins section of your admin panel?
Hi TN,
Just wondering what the best way to set up this kind of ‘call to action’ VC block.
Need an image background – approx 150px high – that goes full width, that keeps the supplied image as is (the image has a border that i want to keep in play no matter what the screen width). Then have live ‘call to action text’ on top.
Tried a few things but always lose the left and right sides of of the background image.
Here’s a VERY rough mockup. http://i.imgur.com/0oGUuBW.pngthanks in advance! s.
Hey!
The easiest way to be to use a full width content row with a 1/6 + 2/3 + 1/6 setup. You could then set the background image on the two 1/6’s and place your text in the 2/3. It would take css to get the BG’s to align right/left on the columns though
Hi!
Is it possible to sort portfolio items with multiple filters? Perhaps an advanced search for just portfolio items?
Cheers!
Hey – as of now that would require some custom development but it’s an item on the wishlist
Hi there,
I just upgraded to your latest theme and now my content doesn’t display on the live site but I still see all of my modules within the Visual Composer.
Any ideas? Help! weareoutfit.com is my site
Hey
Salient v5.5 separated Visual Composer into a plugin and it is no longer automatically built in – this means when you activate the theme you’ll have to still install the Visual Composer plugin via the admin panel. It is included still with the theme and no purchase is necessary, just head to the plugins section of your admin panel to install & activate. Cheers!
hey there, How do i make the image gallery widget display just 2 columns, or even just one? right now the lowest number is 3, but I’d like 2 in some cases… and even just one.
basically, i like the rollover meta action on the gallery widget, is there a way to get this to happen on individual images?
thanks!
Hey sank!
Unfortunately you can’t add that overlay on a single image as of now – could you kindly share your URL in regards to the gallery page so I can assist?
sure – i’ll send you the links via private message here…
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
body .portfolio-items .col.span_4 {
width: 47.5%!important;
}
}
yup that fixed the footer thing, any word on the gallery grid?
Hey – the snippet provided was intended to change the width of the gallery items into a 2 column, checking your URL i’m seeing that it’s working on my end
AHAAAA!
is there css code for making the a single image in the grid gallery do this as well? centered?
wait – this code actually messes up the 3 columns, they display 2 wide then another underneath. the 4 columns displays as it should…
obviously i need all columns to display as intended, with a 2-column option…
Hey – instead of adding that into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel try entering it simply on the page desired via the css box inside of VC (it’s on the top right hand side) this way it won’t be a global change
YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD.
I have some images and text in my portfolio items and I want them to be centered. For some reason portrait photos will not center. The link is below and the sample portrait is the sixth image:
http://poipumakai.net/?portfolio=kayaking-the-na-pali-coastI also notice that with a wide browser view the text is shifted slightly to the left as compared to the landscape photos. They are close but there is a small offset.
Thank you!
Hey med123x,
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
#portfolio-extra img {
margin: 0 auto!important;
}
Cheers
Hey there,
I seem to be getting cast_sender.js errors when enabling the “Salient Visual Composer” plugin. This is giving me 56 errors or so.
Any work arounds?
Cheers!
Hey! Are they appearing for you in every page?
Hi It looks great! Just purchased it. I wander if I rename theme folder into something else will I have a problem updating?
Thanks
Hey! You can rename it – just make sure you rename it to that again whenever updating
Okay thanks. I have another problem now with woocommerce. I run woocommerce on product page and when I add to cart the cart does not update (the page has to be refreshed in order to product apear in the cart). I have noticed that if I disable VC the cart updates but it breaks the page. Now I contacted Visual Composer and since I got VC with the theme they directed me for support to theme author. Could you please advise me how can I fix this? Thanks
Hey! Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
Hi ThemeNectar
Sorry another question for you. How would I go about creating archives for custom post types (that I’m creating) with this theme? In the past I’d modify a relevant archive.php file…but there isn’t one for salient.
Thanks
Hey – you could indeed create an archive.php file and simply paste the contents of the index.php file in as a starting point which you could then customize
Cheers
Hi!
great theme! we have a question about the carousel nectar element. Our nectar carousel consists of a total of 21 images (no more than 150×150px each) and for some reason it takes up a huge amount of space on the page (sometimes only while the carousel is loading sometimes it sticks around after loading), what would be a solution to that?
here is the link to our page witht he problem http://www.fortis-solutions.com/apie-mus
Hey hexsis,
could you kindly try updating to the current release? Keep in mind that Salient v5.5 separated Visual Composer into a plugin and it is no longer automatically built in – this means when you activate the theme you’ll have to still install the Visual Composer plugin via the admin panel. It is included still with the theme and no purchase is necessary, just head to the plugins section of your admin panel to install & activate. Cheers!

Hi ThemeNectar! Have to say, that I bought your theme last year, and was irritated with how foreign things were for me (I come from a LAMP Webdev background,) but have recently seen how awesome this theme can be and was converted.
My question is this: I’m working on implementing this layout in Salient, and I’d like to do a few things with the header that I’m unsure Salient supports.
1. Currently, I have a full width row containing an image for the top most “Galacide” logo. I would like to use the orange space image as the Page Header Background, and put the top most “Galacide” logo on top of that. I would like to use the Page Header instead of a full-width row, because I really like the parallax scrolling fade-out effect that the header does, if you are to put an tag in the “Page Header Title”. Is there a way I can achieve the cool scrolling fade-out effect for the content of a full-width header? Putting an tag in the Page Header Title seems a little hacky.
2. Additionally, I want those black silhouettes below the logo to be a layer over the top header. They’re actually two different images, a left and right, that I’m attempting to get a vertical parallax effect working with but each side having a different strength. Is there a way to do this, that you know of?
Okay, so tags dont work. Here’s the proposed layout: http://www.fortis-solutions.com/apie-mus
Hey urinal-cake!
1. Use single quotes in your img tag when entering it in the header title input field i.e.
<img src="src.png" />
2. This would take some custom development as of now unfortunately – but multi layer scrolling parallaxes is an item on the wishlist
Cheers
So, we ended up using the mouse-based parallax instead, and we’ve found something that is a better alternative. I sort of figured that multi-layer was outside of the scope of what the theme can offer rightnow.
That being said, we still want the nifty fade effect that happens on text/images in the Page Header Title to occur on an image. Is there a way to do that?
Hey again,
Unfortunately that also would take some custom development at this time
Cheers
Okay, thank you.
You’re welcome
Hey ThemeNectar
Thanks for your answer to my questions yesterday. I’m afraid I have another. Portfolio doesn’t seem to support revisions – any idea why? I’ve seen the line in functions.php when portfolio is registered as a CPT -
‘supports’ => array(‘title’, ‘editor’, ‘thumbnail’, ‘comments’, ‘revisions’)
...but I get no revisions option when editing a portfolio item?
Hey stuwo,
Unfortunately because the extra content editor is custom metabox it is excluded from revisions in portfolio items – the main editor which populates the sidebar should indeed be able to use revisions though
Cheers
Hi there,
In the page builder, I’m trying to make a full width content section with a parallax background image. With a full width h1 and then underneath 3 columns of text. When I have the 3 rows (1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3) they all format properly. However when add the full width title in (1/1 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3) the 3rd column gets knocked out of line. I’m I using the correct row layout?
Ive also tried changing the settings to a full width background as well but this doesn’t help.
Any help would be great
Hey kieranlink!
If you can’t use nested rows in your setup such as this: http://i.imgur.com/XRp2BJ5.jpg you’d need to use two separate rows for that
Cheers
Hi, Great theme, congrats!
I’m considering buying this theme, but I want to know if polish fonts will be working fine?
cheers Aga
Thanks Aga!
The theme offers the use of all Google fonts with all available subsets offered http://www.google.com/fonts
Cheers
