Hey!
I’m using a lightbox linked to the porfolio items. Is it possible to add a small descritption to the photo? At the bottom or, even better, like Facebook does when you open a photo, like this: https://www.jerwinpastoral.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/facebook-new-photo-viewer.jpg
Another question regarding the lightbox, is it possible lock it while on fullscreen? Like Google Plus does when you open a photo. I want to disable the scroll while the lightbox is on. Is that possible?
Thanks in advance.
Hey, the description field on your images (which you can edit in the media gallery) will display when opening the image in a lightbox – also unfortunately modding it to be fullscreen would take a fair amount of development as of now
Cheers
Thanks…
I’ll try to see if that works like we want. Another question, how do I do a custom row layout like 2/5 + 1/5 + 2/5?
I want it divided in 3 columns with diferent widths. I’m trying to place an image in the middle and two text columns (one in the left, one in the right), but I want the text columns to be slightly larger than the image. Is that possible?
Thanks in advance. PS: Since I’m making a lot of questions here on the comments, I just want to let you know that I’ve purchased the theme with the company’s account but I’m posting my doubts and questions with my personal account.
1/5 columns are not supported by default in VC, you could do it with 1/6, but make sure to simply the fractions as much as possible. i.e. 2/6 would be 1/3
im experiencing some problems with my home slider. when the image slides to the left, the next one is black in the beginnig or partially visible/partially black (for very short time but noticeable). Something’s wrong. Its working perfect in Chrome and Explorer, and it worked perfectly in Firefox before the last update.
undress.ro if anyone wants to take a look
thanks in advance, and btw, this is by far the best and most reliable theme ive ever used, great job guys xoxox
Hey!
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.nectar-slider-wrap:not([data-transition="fade"]) .swiper-wrapper {
will-change: auto !important;
}
(it will also be included in the next update)
Cheers
it worked! its not perfectly smooth but is much, much better than before. i hope the next update solve this problem completely. thanks again. cheers
i was wrong, it works perfectly. no problems at all, thanks 
Hey – glad to hear
Hi there!
Question re: changing logo colour in header. On the homepage, I have a background image that is light and the logo is red (#ed1c24) — looks great. However…on the services/portfolio/blog pages, I have a background image that is red, and therefore the logo doesn’t show (transparent header). I want to use the transparent header, but would like to change the logo colour on a few of the pages. Is there a way to do this? I’ve looked at all the Salient options — am I missing something?
Thanks!
Hey – as of now the transparent starting state will show the same on all pages, except the nectar slider allows for a dark option – you may want to use that instead of the regular page header to get more control
Hi again!
Thanks for your response. I’m scratching my head a little, trying to figure this out. All of the page headers are nectar sliders. The colour of the slide heading and nav menu on the nectar slider are ok, it’s just the colour of the logo that I’m having issues with. I’m not sure how I would address changing the logo colour on the affected pages, using the nectar slider?
Cheers!
Could you kindly share the page URL so I can take a peek for you?
Cheers
What is the css or code for the pointing down arrow on the Nectar Slider? I would like to add it to another image in the site and not need to use the slider.
Hey – it won’t function outside of the slider without some modding
Hey there, is it possible to show all the “recent projects” (Number of Projects To Show=4) without using the carousel effect? I mean that hiding the carousel controls, the recent projects in my column are just 2 and there’s no way to show the other 2. It could be good for me if they go down in a new line. Any idea?
In addition I need to call the nectar_excerpt somewhere in the page can you provide the snippet?
Hey,
1. Is there any reason you’re avoiding using the actual portfolio element? You can set it to display 4 items if desired and hide the project filters for essentially the same outcome
2.
$project_excerpt = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_nectar_project_excerpt', true);
if you know the project post ID you can pass it directly without having to get in the loop for it
You’r right bro I solved using the actual portfolio. Thanks a lot! For question 2 unfortunately the snippet doesn’t seem to work. I post a picture to show you what’s happened.

Sorry if I keep bother you I almost finish my website! Thanks in advance
Hey,
You’d need to echo that as well
global $post; $project_excerpt = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_nectar_project_excerpt', true); echo $project_excerpt;
Hi Nectar, first of all; great theme!
Question; Is it possible to set the starting color font in the transparent menu to transparent?
I’ve used this snippet, but it gets overruled:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
#header-outer.transparent header#top nav > ul > li > a {
color: rgba(255,255,255,0)!important;
}
}
Thanks! Marc
Thanks!
That snippet should be valid – could you kindly share your URL so I can take a look?
Cheers
Yes, it’s http://jackandtheweatherman2.dubbl.nl
Try using this:
#header-outer.transparent {
display: none!important;
}
Thanks! Yes, this is a workaround, but now you loose the smooth effect when you scroll down or up. Is there another way?
Hey – try this instead
#header-outer.transparent {
opacity: 0!important;
}
Yes, thanks & closed!
Cheers
is there a way to stop the compression of the slider as you scroll down so it doesnt squeeze it as your scroll down. i want the slider to remain as it is when you first get on the homepage and then when you scroll it doesnt squeeze the image. the effect im trying to do doesnt work when it squeezes
Hey,
Yes, there’s an option in the Nectar Slider element to disable the parallax effect – if you’re using the Home Slider, i’d recommend switching to have control over this
Cheers
Hi I opened a ticket but thought I might comment in case anyone else can help!
I just had a developer put some payment icons in one of the rows on my homepage for me. Now I cannot see one of the other columns in that row when I’m in edit mode (in page builder) – he says this is a bug in the page builder that he cannot fix!
I now can’t finish editing that column or change it, because I can’t see it! I need to be able to edit my homepage! And I can’t use classic mode because I don’t know how to code 
Hey – please share your ticket ID so I can take a look
Cheers
Thanks so much – #568924 I have set up a new password for access to my website on the ticket
Thanks – you’re using an old version of VC that had issues with the raw html block. You need to download the current version of the theme and install the up to date visual composer
I updated to the new salient from 4.5.22 about an hour or so ago, now only my header and footer will load. What do I need to do to fix this?
Hey – please share your URL so I can take a look at what’s going on
Hi,
I love your theme! On my checkout page ( https://www.playgoodr.com/checkout/ ) the “Ship to a different address?” check box started being checked by default all of a sudden.
How do make it UN-checked by default?
Thanks,
SDL
Hey, please see this in regards https://support.woothemes.com/hc/en-us/articles/203927693-Uncheck-by-default-Ship-to-a-Different-Address-
OMG…thank you!
You’re welcome
Hi! How can I decrease the width of my main mega menu drop down here? Thanks so much! http://covalime2.com/friendsoffosterchildren.net/
Hey – I’m currently not seeing a mega menu on that URL, have you removed it?
Hi there,
I put a question out there 3 days ago and I think it got lost.
I’d like images in the featured blog posts (the homepage) to have an automatic height of 500px.
There is not a div tag for me to use the overflow CSS. How can I make sure the featured images are all the same height?
Hey – I responded on your previous comment in regards
Hi, I use this theme for another wordpress site and now I may purchase it for my company’s site as well. Is it possible for me to use a different slider for the home page ( specifically the accordion slider ) ? Just want to make sure it is possible before I purchase. thanks!
Hey,
Are you referring to a plugin such as this? https://wordpress.org/plugins/accordion-slider-lite/ if so, there shouldn’t be an issue – but you won’t have the parallax effect available or any Salient slider specific features
Cheers
how to change the number of thumbnails in a portfolio of 4 to larger 3 in a row in the code?
Hey,
It would require css as well as js mods in the init.js but more column options are coming in the next update
Cheers
I just updated to the latest version of Salient as well as the VC plugin contained within the update and now the front page is not displaying correctly. I can see the content within the page source but it’s not being rendered.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
Unfortunately had to go back to the previous version. The new version doesn’t seem to work with VC objects created in the legacy version.
Hey – that shouldn’t be the case, if you could kindly share the code you have on your page i’d gladly test with it though
Hey guys. Is there a public list or something where we can see what´s planned for the next versions? Best
Hey – you can make requests here or on the forum but in general I don’t post public lists to ensure others don’t “borrow” ideas
I would like to change the spacing on top of and below the navigation. My site is: http://greencube.thedesignlab.co.za/
I used: #top nav > ul > li > a {padding-bottom: 15px!important; padding-top: 10px!important;} but this breaks the drop down navigation when you scroll down and then up. Could you please advise how to deal with this correctly without breaking the drop-down nav.
thanks
Hey,
Add this:
#header-outer[data-format="centered-menu-under-logo"] header#top nav > ul.sf-menu > li ul {
top: 45px!important;
}
Cheers
Dear ThemeNectar,
Can I change the font for an entire website? I changed the font for the ‘body’ and left the rest at ‘Font Family’. But this only changes the copyright at the bottom of the page.
Cheers! Nick
Hey,
Is there any reason you didn’t want to see other elements in the typography options panel? By default that selection should also effect all standard text and paragraphs on the site – could you share your URL in regards?
Cheers
Hey ThemeNectar,
I’m not sure what you mean… I want ALL my text on the site to be the same font. Should that be possible with only changing the ‘Body’ in the Typography panel.
Thanks! Nick
body, body p {
font-family: 'test';
}
There are other font weights and styles set by default to make the theme look okay if you don’t set your own..If you want to override everything without actually setting it, use this:
body, body * {
font-family: 'your-family'!important;
}
Hey there. How do I remove the hamburger (three horizontal lines) navigation button from mobile and tablet views? I’ve created a single scrolling page so, therefore, that button is not necessary. Thanks!
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
header#top #toggle-nav, header#top #mobile-cart-link, header#top .span_9 > .slide-out-widget-area-toggle {
display: none!important;
}
}
Cheers
Hi there,
In mobile, my header is transparent in the homepage, but the logo shoes up twice when i scroll down the page.
http://bit.ly/1RdiKVLDo you know why that happens on the phone but not in the browser?
Thanks!
OK I had to do extensive CSS to get it to line up properly.
The issue now is the logo is full color (in the beginning) in the mobile version but should look as it does in the desktop version.
I have the logos uploaded correctly so that the starting logo should be all white, and then switch to color as you scroll.
Thanks for your help!
http://bit.ly/1RdiKVLHey,
I’m currently seeing it start as white and switch to color on both desktop and mobile, have you already sorted this?
Cheers
I have changed the retina version of the logo to white in order for that to show properly. In all the sites I have built in the past this has never happened though.
If you check a blog post (click any post in the homepage) you will see the logo stays to the white version.
How can I get that to show the color version? Is there a way to force transparency for blog posts maybe?
Hey – you’d need to set a post header BG color or BG Image in order to have this work
