Hi, I’m using the Yoast SEO plugin, and I tried assigning specific images for when portfolio items are shared to Facebook and Twitter (using the Social tab in the Yoast SEO section for portfolio items).
Unfortunately, when I click the Facebook or Twitter share link that your theme has built in, it doesn’t seem to pull those custom images…it just pulls the one from the post.
Am I doing something wrong, or is there a way to get the social sharing with your theme to pull those images from the Yoast SEO social settings?
Hey,
Could you share your URL so I can see what OG tags are being set?
Cheers
It wasn’t working on the dev site, but as soon as I moved it over to a live installation it worked fine. So everything is good! Thanks though! Awesome work on an awesome theme!
Glad to hear 
Is it possible to change the opacity of the transparent nav bar, I don’t want it fully transparent, just about 50%
Hey,
If you could share your URL i’d be glad to assist with the css needed
Cheers

Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1001px) {
body #header-outer[data-transparent-header="true"], html body #header-outer[data-transparent-header="true"].transparent {
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.7)!important;
}
}
The new particle header is SO cool! I’m blown away!
One thing though… on your demo, you have a cool ‘down arrow’ with a circle around it. How do I add that?
Thanks! Nick
Oops, I figured it out You have a feature in the Salient options section that says “make all buttons circle”, which then makes the down arrow with a circle around it. Cool! Thank you!
Hey,
Glad you found it!

I loaded a symbol stylesheet and now the buttons on my menu and the nectar slider are different and look weird. How do I return the symbols to the old ones?
http://www.benrothman.org/Hey, how did you load your stylesheet for this – did you use a plugin?
i used wp_enqueue_stylesheet in my functions.php . I do not think the problem is from this as I have successfully used similar functions on other websites.
And have you since removed it? It simply appears that the old you’re loading is overwriting the theme defined ones
How come I can not update the theme, I have a single license, but after downloading again from my profile and installing, nothing happens ?
Please, how do we update the Salient theme to 6.0 ???? I have a purchase code etc and I can’t update it by downloading a new version on this site, still the previous version !!
The current version is indeed available for download on here – if you’ve already downloaded and installed it you’re saying you don’t see a new theme version listed in your Salient options panel > theme information tab?
That is correct the current version I have on Themeforest and the one I have downloaded again, since I thought it was the new version is still 5.44 I bought Salient regular license over a year ago …. The options for updating you have written in above question, I have tried and didn’t work
And the only thing I have ever had in the theme informations tab, is a pdf
Above the pdf it states the version:
e.g.Theme URL: http://www.themenectar.com Author: ThemeNectar Version: 6.1
Kindly open a ticket in regards https://themenectar.ticksy.com
How do i update to v6? i cant find a way to update. is there any intructions on your website? thanks
Hey, you can update by either downloading the theme again from themeforest and then uploading it via FTP or through your admin section > appearance > themes or you could just use the envato toolkit plugin http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-update-themeforest-themes-with-the-envato-wordpress-toolkit/?utm_expid=3606929-52.ZpfeUjXqSWOCaoohIqoFQQ.0&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F
OK thanks
Cheers
i am a newbie where i can find the icon classes available with the theme.
Hey, all of the icons are available through the nectar icon shortcode which can be found in the shortcode generator
Cheers
Hi,
I s there any way to set different 404 pages for different languages? 10x
Hey – have you reached out to your multilingual plugin developer in regards? Unfortunately nothing directly in Salient would be able to sort this
Hi – this has probably been asked before, but is there a ‘simple’ way to set up a two-column Contact Form 7?
Hey,
Add this into the form creation box within CF7:
<div class="col span_6">
<p>Your Name <span>*</span><br />
[text* your-name] </p>
</div>
<div class="col span_6 col_last">
<p>Your Email <span>*</span><br />
[email* your-email] </p>
</div>
<p>Your Message<br />
[textarea your-message] </p>
<p>[submit "Send"]</p>
Cheers
Hello,
First of all, I LOVE YOUR THEME. I’ve been having so much fun with it. 
Now I’m not really a coder I don’t think it’s hard but I can’t seem to fix it.
The “icon-salient-back-to-all”? (the 4 cubes that brings you back to your portfolio grid) button on a portfolio page works perfect. It redirects me to the page url I gave it under the global options.
But my website uses 2 different portfolio pages, one for my professional works and one to showcase my practice works. So whenever I open a portfolio item filed under my practice page the button will redirect to my homepage. The practice items I want to redirect to my practice page so: http://www.robbertjanvanommeren.com/sketches-practice/?
All items on that page I would love it if the 4 cubes when you open an item redirect to that url.
Now my question is how would I go about setting this up? Is there custom css I should add to every portfolio item I want to redirect to http://www.robbertjanvanommeren.com/sketches-practice/? instead of http://www.robbertjanvanommeren.com/ ? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Robbert-Jan van Ommeren
Hey,
There’s an option for “Parent Portfolio Override” in every project edit screen – this would be the easiest way to sort the issue
Cheers
Awesome thanks!
Another question: is it possible to exclude my other portfolio items in the previous & next buttons assigned to my 2nd portfolio page
Hey – have you tried the option “Single Project Nav Arrows Limited To Same Category” in your portfolio tab within the salient options panel?
In using the ‘Width & Responsiveness’ aspect of editing a column, it seems that in order to create versions for desktop, tablet and mobile it seems when choosing to hide a row on a specific device, the content is hidden yet the space the content would occupy is still attributed to it. For instance, on this page ( https://mauiplastics.com/3d-printing-2/ ) the printing process header is pushed down on tablet and mobile. How can I fix this?
Hey,
I’m seeing that the padding you have set on the row still showing – if you added a class to the row it could be targeted to hide on mobile.
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.mobile-hidden {
display: none!important;
}
}
Cheers
Sorry, not a web dev at all so not sure how to add this? CSS on top of page? Do I have to define the class on the row? What is the class name?
1. You can add that snippet into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel
2. The class name to add onto the row based on that example is mobile-hidden
Cheers
Can I ask if you have intentions to add Slider Revolution 5 to Salient? Its a great complement for this theme. Nectar Slider is fine but is not the same. For me is the only negative point I can give to Salient.
Hey,
There may be a point where it’s included with it but right now my attention is ironing out 6.0 and finishing up the requested features (non plugin related)
Cheers
I found 2 errors in code style.css Salient 6.0.4 version when “Off Canvas Menu” is ON.
style.cssslide-out-widget-area-bg {
-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden; background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.8); position: fixed; height: 1px; width: 1px; opacity: 0; left: 0; top: 0; z-index: 9996; (fix to 9999) } Line: 11214 style.css
Other error on the left side:
slide-out-widget-area.slide-out-from-right {
position: fixed; transform: translate(301px, 0px); -webkit-transform: translate(301px, 0px); -o-transform: translate(301px, 0px); -ms-transform: translate(301px, 0px); top: 0; right: 0; width: 300px; height: 100%; z-index: 1000000; background-color: #27cfc3; padding: 33px; overflow: hidden; margin-top:20px; }
fix just adding in style.css line 11045, margin-top:20px;
Hope this come fixed in next release. ThanksHey – thanks for noting
Why this is not fixed yet? If is thanks for nothing why my client need to ask me again and pay me again to fix his website from the same problem!
This is a problem because my client say everytime he update Salient, files are changed and I need to back and fix it again. Please tell me if you are not thinking in fix this little problem, z-index: 9996; (fix to 9999). This is really annoying. I am not logged with one of my clients id because I am not the final client of you theme. I am just the webmaster working for a company. If you need I open a ticket with one of our clients id´s please tell me, but I have 2 clients using Salient that need this problem fixed. Thanks for nothing, (yet).
Hey again – I said thanks for “noting” not “nothing”, meaning I marked down to look into it.
1. The z-index being set to 9996 is not a bug, it’s done intentionally to leave the header above the overlay as shown on the demo http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/ however if you’re experiencing a different issue with it please share your URL so I can look.
2. The second issue you pointed out is only present when logged in because of the admin bar – this will be fixed in the minor update coming out soon.
In both of these cases you could’ve added your css mods into the custom css box in the Salient options panel or through a child theme since editing the theme files directly is not the correct way to go about it because it won’t persist through updates
On this page here (http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/) what is used to make the 3rd row, which is the icons and description underneath.
Hey, It’s a visual composer row with three columns and a text block inside. The icon is an icon shortcode with the new icon family “Linea”. Once you choose that family animation options will appear
Cheers
For some reason when I add the icon it doesn’t show up
Seems like Linea doesn’t show up, Linecons work but not Linea icons, when I try it just shows a blank spot
And using this as an example again (http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/), how is the text + icon both have the fade in effect
UPDATE: I was able to get the icons to work, although still not sure how to make the text “fade in”
The text and icon are in separate rows inside of a column so that they could be animated separately – you could also import the agency dummy data which uses the same setup to learn/copy from
Hi!
Would you please tell me if it’s possible to build different “master” single project pages, using the visual editor on the simple page tab? And to link the portfolio thumbnails to these pages, with different formats?
Thanx!
Hey,
Currently that wouldn’t be possible without some custom development unfortunately
Cheers
Ok, thanx! But i could do it manually, right? I mean, i could create each single page, and then link their URL to the thumbnails in the portfolio?
Hey,
Yes that would indeed be possible it would just take a lot of effort
Cheers
Yes, i guess it would… Well, as an alternative: can i remove the header from portfolio’s single pages?… the bar with the grid, title and arrows?
Thanx again!
Hello, I got a problem with my theme. Whenever using a video link on the full width layout and I put a div beneath it content beneath the video is always 1 pixel off on larger resolutions, I made the page with page builder. I’ve tried a lot of things but can’t figure it out, can any1 help me? This is my page: http://www.robbertjanvanommeren.com/portfolio/oorbuisjes/ and this is a screenshot of how I made this page https://gyazo.com/fd00d546a7fc33ca7ffb3549a4481520
Hello,
First of all I wanted to say this is by far the best theme I’ve ever purchased!
http://www.robbertjanvanommeren.com/portfolio/oorbuisjes/I got a small problem though whenever you load my page on a screen with a resolution higher than 19 inches a snap problem ocurs with the images I have below my video, in the 1st millisecond the page is loaded they appear correct but then for some reason they snap 1 pixel to the left. In this screenshot you can see how I made the page: https://gyazo.com/de019e2203c1aba044cac2938df8aba3
I hope anyone has a solution for this annoying problem.
Sincerely,
RJ
UPDATE:
I’ve found the root of the problem, the image uses an animation (fade in). I’ve tried all other animations, but after using the animation grow in it doesn’t do the 1 pixel snap. This kind of sucks because I don’t like that animation. :/
I also found that the fade from bottom works, but I don’t like this animation aswell. All the others either have the pixel bug or major graphical artifacts (the fade in to right completely messes the image up)
The top 2 pictures under the video are with the fade effect I want, I changed the animation effects on all other pictures for demonstration, so you can see what I mean the fade to right effect is the worst.
I fixed it by applying double background colors (to both the row and the div) very weird, but I’m happy it works! The slide to right and left are still broken though but idc because I don’t use them.
Hey!
If you still would like me to take a look kindly open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can https://themenectar.ticksy.com

If I bought a previous version of Salient, is there an upgrade option? Or do I have to purchase the full v6 theme again? When I go to “You have bought this item. You can download it here” it downloads v5.5 – thanks great theme
Hey,
The current version is indeed available for download on ThemeForest – when you download it how are you going about updating?
Cheers
I cannot figure out why the background color on a portfolio does not fill the whole screen. See the image.
Is there a switch or something that I am missing?
UPDATE – Found this answer too! You go to the PAGE again and here you edit the CONTAINER that holds the portfolio. Give that a background color (or image) and set it to full-width.
Hey – glad to hear!
UPDATE I answered my own question. Simple enough…in the portfolio PAGE itself (not the portfolio), I clicked the portfolio settings (green hover box link) and there I found the option to select which portfolios are shown IN THAT portfolio. Perfect.
A little hard to figure out if you gloss over it. But in the end it is a simple control+click to select multiples from the list.
Hi.
I am test driving the Salient theme right now and hope to pick it up over the weekend IF it can do what I need it to. I am already having some troubles though.
On the page at http://www.kennlucas.com/kl-vehicles-gallery/? I want ONLY vehicles category photos. I would like the “show portfolio” links to be some of the vehicles categories, like 2014 GG Bash on the example page.
BUT I do not want all of my OTHER images, such as the Nature category ones that are appearing here.
Is there a setting someplace that can correct that? Thanks! Looking forward to this theme a lot.
Hey, glad you found the answer
Cheers
I can’t add items to cart in your demo, why?
Which demo URL are you using? so far I can’t seem to replicate
Cheers
