Is it possible to control what elements appear on different screen sizes? Seems I am able to do this in the regular VC plugin and other themes that use VC, but I can’t seem to locate these options in my Salient version of VC. I want to have some different elements show only on mobile and also the opposite where an element will only show on say desktop view… any insight? maybe i am just missing something. thanks.
Hey, there’s a responsive option tab in the current version of Salient VC – make sure you’re on a relatively updated version of the theme/Salient composer
Is it possible to add a contact form into the box roll header? I tried to add the short code but it just appears as a short code. Please help. Thank you!
Hey, as of now this wouldn’t be possible unfortunately without some file moding
Can you please help me with the file moding in order to do this? I am fairly familiar coding and development in order to make this possible. Thank you
Hey, you’ll need to go to the nectar_page_header section of your functions.php file and change all instances of
<?php echo $title; ?>to be
<?php echo do_shortcode($title); ?>
Is it possible to place code within the title/subtitle area? I have done it and it takes initially however if I continue to update the page the code disappears. Please let me know 
Thank you!
Hey – yes, but make sure any code you place uses single quotes for attributes i.e.
<a href=""></a>instead of
<a href=""></a>
both these sets of code are the same? Can I still assign a class to them?
Sorry, TF is converting my single quotes into double 
– yes you can, he’s what it would look like: http://pastebin.com/TK9fH0j3
Hi, I have a pre-purchase question, does your theme support RTL?
thanks
Hey, yes it does
Cheers
that’s awesome! and it’s compatible with WPML as well right?
Many people use it, but the theme isn’t on their list of 100% compatible themes yet (in the process of getting that to happen)
Hi, I’m have issues with custom id links … I have a multiple page site. When I use only #idname in the menu custom links, it works fine on the home page. But if I’m on another page and I click on the menu link then all it does is take me bake to the home page… not the section? I tried to use the full url/#idname/ but then when you click on it it takes you to an empty white page ???
I wish I could have links that points to the good section on the home page when on the home page and to the good section of the home page when you clic from other page on the site… is it possible???
Thanks
Hey,
Please use the second method with the full URL and turn on the checkbox “Disable Fade Out On Click” in your page transitions tab in the Salient options panel
Cheers
Did it! Thanks 
You’re welcome
Hi Themenectar. We just purchased salient and are very happy with the theme. However we seem to have some trouble with getting the header right.
If I don’t put a custom height to it, it will show very small on our website. If I assign a height to it (140 px looks best), then it will look okay on my desktop (firefox). But if I check my ipad it is still showing small again. Nothing I try seems to have any effect. http://www.superkawaii.nlI am not sure what I am doing wrong. I made a header of 1200 px wide.
One more other question. I tried using some custom css, and was hoping that the navigation below the header would reposition a little bit. I would like less padding between the header and the navigation. And less padding between the navigation and content. Due to my changes I also had to add a bit of custom css for the submenu because it appeared very low under the navigation menu.
I wonder if I used the right CSS for the problem.
header#top nav > ul > li > a { padding-bottom: 2px!important; } body .home-wrap, body .container-wrap, body .page-header-no-bg, .project-title { background-color: #FFFFFF !important; } body.single-portfolio #post-area .wp-post-image { display: none!important; }
.sf-menu ul { margin-top: -60px; }
Can you help me into the right direction? I wonder why the header is giving trouble. Not sure what I did wrong here. Thanks very much in advance,
M
Hey, add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
header#top nav > ul > li > a {
padding-top: 2px!important;
}
.sf-menu ul {
margin-top: -50px!important;
}
Hi ThemeNectar,
Thanks so much, this fix worked well
One more question regarding the header though. If I view it on my ipad and my laptop (which has a smaller screen), the header will show up too wide.
It will go over the outer edge of the web content. I am not sure how to fix that.
Or should I upload a smaller header instead? I thought that the theme would adjust the header size to the width of the site, despite it’s been viewed on a smaller or wider screen. I am using a fixed width for the website though
Thanks so much in advance!!
Hey, add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
header#top #logo img {
max-width: 100%!important;
}
Hi ThemeNectar. Again, thanks SO much for helping me fine tune this header.
The code helped, but the header logo is now a little bit out of proportion. (Showing a bit too high, but the width is 100%)
I wondered if this wrong scaling is caused by the custom 140 px width that I filled in in the ‘logo height’ box in the salient admin. But if I remove this custom info, the logo will show very tiny on both the bigger and the smaller screens. Can I bug you one more time for this? How can I show the logo without showing out of proportion? I know I am repeating it, but Thanks so much for your support.
Hi, in Nectar Slider, I would like to put a caption, but that it appears a the end of video. is it posible?
Hey, please see my response to your first comment in regards
Cheers
So I will need to replace it with Slider Revolution. Is it posible to have the same effect with it ( Video above main menu)
Hey, you can force a transparent header on any page. There’s a checkbox for it in your page header settings box at the bottom of every edit page screen
Hi, in Nectar Slider, I would like to put a caption, but that it appears a the end of video. is it posible?
Hey, are you referring to it only showing after the video ended? If so this would require custom development unfortunately
Hello,
How can I change the appearance of the menu at the top? (I have done the demo import but it still doesnt look like the demo. The font size/style are different.)
Demo: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/
How it looks like on my site: imeg.com.au
Thanks
Hey, you can find the theme options text file to import in the same folder you found the dummy data xml file. You can import it into the inport/export tab of the salient options panel
Hi,
Hope that you’re keeping weel. 
Huge thanks for the awesome new releases!
I’m wondering is it possible (perhaps somehow relatively easily) to change the page background color of a portfolio item? That is, could the portfolio items have their own page background colors?
I already found out that:body.single-portfolio .container-wrap {
background-color: #eee!important;
}
changes the background color of all portfolio items. Yet, I would like to try to change their background colors separately.

Hey, if you used the full width project display you could handle this all in visual composer – if not it would require a good deal of custom css on a per project basis
Thank you. I’m using the full width, so this is convenient.
Good to hear
Hi,
When I want to login seeing this error:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/p3pnexwpnas07_data01/96/2863896/html/wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/love/nectar-love.php:223) in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas07_data01/96/2863896/html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1207
and entire homepage does not appear properly specially slides and portfolio:
can you check please: www.brandclinic.co
Thanks.

Hey, have you verifies that no plugins are causing this behavior for you?
Hello, i have an issue with a lightbox vimeo video, it seems to play in hd only on safari browser and i cant seem to figure out why. Are there any settings for the embed created by the theme i could tweak ?
Thanks in advance!
Hey, please share your url in regards so I can take a look
Where do I find the area to put content, logo, or a video ‘above’ the menu on the off canvas menu option? I only see the widget area that places content below the menu. if there isn’t an option, can you please add this as an option? would be nice to put an image or a video above the menu on the ‘off canvas’ option. Or is there a way to do this that I just don’t see?
Hey, if you don’t use the theme menu location to assign a menu and instead opt to place your menu items with a widget you can control the area it ends up at
Tried this but don’t seem to have the same control over the menu font options like font size etc when using the widget menu… any insight?
The menu location does add additional functionality but this method I described would be the only way to move items before it without custom development
Perhaps you might be able to add it to the wish list for the future, it would be nice to have a ‘widget’ area above the menu so we can add an image, logo or video ‘above’ the menu just like you can add it below… Love all the upgrade that you continue to come out with.
Hey – will do!
Is it possible to input my own loading graphic? If so do you have a resource I could use to learn the process?
Thanks
-Very satisfied buyer
Hey! You can do so in your salient options panel in the page transitions tab.
Hi, facing the same problem as Etemmu (last year). The Nectar Slider works great on 1600px resolution monitor but on 1920px monitor it creates a hollow space on the right side.
How can i repair this?
Hey, please share your url so I can take a look
Hi. I sent you by PM. Thanks!
Hi, any help?
Hey – you’ll need to check the option to “constrain max columns to 4” in your portfolio item with the setup you have
Cheers
Thanks. It worked!!
You’re welcome
I have downloaded a video that I would like to embed on the home page. However, even though the file is under 8 mb, it is unable to be embedded. The dimensions of the video is 1600×474 px. Any help would be appreciated! And I need this done for a client by Sunday.
Hey,
Please let me know how you’re trying to embed it (i.e. home slider, nectar slider, video bg etc,) and let me know the url so I can take a look
Cheers
Hi! I’m trying to embed the following url : http://videohive.net/item/data-technology-network/6408214 to the home page of my site. http://finav.azurewebsites.net
I’ve downloaded the video and converted it. I just need a step by step process, since I am not proficient in coding. Do I put it in the media library? Or just copy the url? I’ve tried both, and failed. Thanks for the help!
Hey – when you try to add it into your media library are you getting an error of the file being too large?
It doesn’t say error, but it won’t allow me to view the file. So maybe it is too large. However, one of them is 7 mb the other one is 2.3 mb. Shouldn’t it be working?
Hey – have you tried to upload a file in a web optimized size? Even for a large image around 2000px you shouldn’t be going over around 800kb
My portfolio loads very weird in some instances (see link) https://www.dropbox.com/s/z4b86zrp942hztf/Screenshot%202015-10-02%2012.45.19.png?dl=0
Hey – please share your actual URL so I can take a look
Cheers
Thanks again for a great theme. I’m not sure if this is a Salient question or a Woocommerce question. Lets say I have a one page site where I want my products, cart, checkout all to exist on one page. I know this is possible. But the issue is the buttons for things like “View Cart” and “Checkout” still want to link to an entirely separate page. Is there a way I can change this? Thanks!
Actually I do see that in the Woocommerce settings you can assign the “Home” page as being the default location for everything, but what I really want is for each div (for cart, checkout, etc.) to have it’s own anchor point so that way it scrolls to that point. But Woocommerce doesn’t let you assign links, it only lets you assign pages. Still searching for a solution…
Hey,
This isn’t necessarily a Salient issue, you’d need some custom development to achieve this
Cheers
Hey thanks for the response. I was able to install the Woocommerce One Page Checkout plugin which allows me to do what I need. However, the issue I’m seeing now is when I access the Full Screen Cover Off Canvas Menu everything is blurred out (including the text in the menu). And when you click on a menu item everything goes white and doesn’t take you anywhere. Obviously there’s something weird going on between that plugin and the theme. Any ideas? My guess is the plugin is trying to be on top somehow (z-index or something?) and instead it should be the Salient menu that’s on top.
Simply put. Any time I apply the Woocommerce One Page Checkout to a page, it breaks the menu as well as any button links to any anchor points (it doesn’t load). I understand this is the third party plugin, but if you’re willing it would be great if you could look into it: http://binghamtonisovercast.com Thanks!
Hey,
1. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
body .blurred-wrap.blurred {
-webkit-filter: blur(0px);
-moz-filter: blur(0px);
-ms-filter: blur(0px);
filter: blur(0px);
}
2. Go to your Salient options panel and use the option for “Disable Fade Out On Click” in your page transitions tab
Wow! Thank you so much! works perfectly. I’m very pleased with this theme and the customer support.
Great to hear!
Cheers
Hello,
I opened the ticket #543217 but the help is some kind slow, and I think it is because of the high volume of questions. I need help because my Single Product Page doesn’t look like your theme. Size and Size field are too big, ADD TO CART and ADD TO WISHLIST are one below the other and they should be beside the other.
I also see the share buttons are besides the title and it should be under Category breadcrumb as your demo, and this is driving me crazy. What should I do???
Thank you in advance.
Hey – i’ll check your ticket as soon as I can

Hi. I’ve installed the dummy data for Agency version but the font settings are not available. Could you give me the font info please? Thanks.
Hey, you also need to import the theme options settings in the salient options panel ..the file to import is located in the same folder as the dummy data where you found the dummy data xml file
