Hello! I have successfully created a child theme, but it seems to have certain nuances different than how my parent theme looks. For example, the font is different, the arrows in the buttons are now just little boxes, and one of my links in the second header is gone. Would really appreciate some advice with how I can fix it. Thanks!
Hey,
could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
Cheers
Hello, I have Salient v5.5.52 can I somehow activate OFF CANVAS MENU??? Should I upgrade to the newest version (if yes, how much would it cost?) or maybe there are other possibilities? TIA 
Hey,
the off canvas menu used to be called the slide out out widget area in that version – if you want the fullscreen one as shown in the agency demo you would indeed need to upgrade though
Cheers
Hi, I would to have a static page as my homepage so that I can create an html intro with the visual composer. I would then like to have all the latest blog posts follow on. If this is not possible would i be able to have My latest posts as my home page but somehow add static html to the top section. Could you please tell me if this is possible and if so how.
thank you.
Hey – you can change your front page to a custom one in Settings > Reading and in this custom page you could use an HTML element at the top followed by a blog or recent posts. Does this sound like the setup you’re looking for?
Not quite – that shows a summary of the posts. I want it to show the normal style of blog posts. with the side bar and all the functionality that comes from choosing “your latest posts” under settings/reading/front page displays. Except I want some intro html on this page.
is there a way to do this?
thanks again
Hey, the blog element available in the page builder is capable of showing the blog with the sidebar which you can select in the layout dropdown when adding the element. If you’re having trouble with that please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can assist https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Sorry – I didn’t realise the full extent of its capability. That’s perfect. Thanks again for an amazing theme! Love it!
You’re welcome
Hey, nice theme and I’m just starting to to adapt it to my Needs. So it’s still huge work in Progress, but I already face a Problem, that I can’t solve:
The page is in German, and we use some special letters like: Ü Ä Ö and ß. In the theme they appear fat and smaller than the rest of the text around it.
I already tried using different Fonts, but the problem keeps showing.
It shows directly on the front page: http://glorytomorrow.com/. Best seen in the text above the portfolio grid.
Keep in mind, that the page is just a mock up yet, so don’t wonder about the design.
Cheers from Germany,
Sebastian
I forgot the question 
... How can I solve it?
Hey – have you tried to enable the option for ext latin characters in the default font in your Salient options panel – typography tab?
A small step for me, a big step for the user. Thanks. Made the trick. I just didn’t see that function. Cheers for fast reply, have a nice Christmas or whatever your celebrating personally.
Thanks so much, you too!
My client is complaining about how the page header image loads (fades in and pushes the rest of the content down). Is there a way to disable this so that the image just loads regularly with the rest of the page? Some CSS I could apply to page-header-bg?
Hey,
More options for controlling this are on the way and will be out with the next update
Cheers
I would like to purchase Salient. I am more keen on the Salient Agency theme. Does that come along with the bundle if i purchase it under a regular licence?
Hey – yes, you have the option to import any demo of your choosing
Cheers
Hi. Love the theme.
I just need to know how to change the color of the toggle panel. I only get the option to change it after I collapse the toggle. But I want to change the color before even collapsing. How can I do that?
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
body .toggle h3 a {
background-color: #000;
}
Cheers
Thanks for your reply. This did not work however. The color did not change. Also, I’m looking to make this according collapsed by default. When I choose this option, the first one is always open. How can i make them all collapsed by default when the page opens?
Hey,
1. Please share your URL so I can take a look why it’s not working for you
2. In your init.js file in the js folder you’d need to delete this section:
$('.accordion').each(function(){
$(this).find('> .toggle').first().addClass('open').find('> div').show();
$(this).find('> .toggle').first().find('a i').attr('class','icon-minus-sign');
});
Hello,
I’ve been playing around with your theme and I can’t figure this problem out. Whenever I go directly to the page url it works fine http://www.robbertjanvanommeren.com/portfolio/oorbuisjes/
But whenever I go to that same page through my homepage, by clicking on the “Oorbuisjes” portfolio item it shows the page completely different.
Anyone knows why? I’ve deleted my own cache multiple times and friends of mine are having the same problem when accessing my site.
This is how it should display, and it displays it like that with a direct url:
https://gyazo.com/c31a67bfe7978588654ec1060dcbb50bAnd this is how it displays when going to Oorbuisjes page through my home page:
https://gyazo.com/7de64c6a29ac1fb679151037825747acRelated URL: http://www.robbertjanvanommeren.com/portfolio/oorbuisjes/
I fixed it by setting the Animated Transition Method to standard under my settings!
Hey, glad to hear you sorted it
Hey! Still loving your amazing theme!
I noticed that all my widgetized sidebars tightened to about 120px wide instead of what it’s usually at around 300px. I haven’t made any changes to the code and randomly saw that this was happening.
Any help is MUCH appreciated.
Thank you!
Hey,
If you could share your URL in regards I’d be glad to see why that’s occurring
Cheers
Thanks! I will go ahead and submit a ticket on this one.
Thanks!
Hi there! I have two questions for you, I will be grateful for your help.
1. How to make 2 columns in mobile view? 2. When I’m using flexible slider height on nectar slider (ex. 500 px), caption text is still veeeeery small and it’s impossible to read it. Is there any possible to make it larger on mobile view without making extra changes in css?
Hey,
1. Change the Width to be 1/2 in the responsive options when editing your column for the mobile viewport
2. Please share your URL that contains the slider so I can assist
Cheers
How do I make the background image of a row responsive? Currently, the background image of a row displays correctly on a monitor; however, when accessing the website on a mobile device, the background image is cut off and I can’t read the text that is overlaying the background image. Click here for website
Hey – are you referring to the one at the bottom of your page in the parallax section?
Yes….it has a yellow background.
Hey – It seems you’re uploading it at 800px tall but even on desktop the section is much taller than that, when the columns all change to one on mobile it becomes significantly taller thus stretching the image out further. For desktop if you turned off the parallax effect or changed the speed to “fast” it would zoom out on the image a bit
Sorry about the delay just seeing this..unfortunately, I turned off the parallax effect and it’s still not working.
Hey again,
If you add this into the custom css box the sizing will stop all together, but you’ll then see more of what I meant by your image is very far off from being tall enough for the height of the row you have with all that content
body .wpb_row .row-bg, body .full-width-section .row-bg {
background-size: contain;
-webkit-background-size: contain;
}
Hi ThemeNecter,
I was wondering if you had a toggle shortcode for the blog section?
Hey,
Are you simply trying to place a blog element with a few posts inside of a toggle?
Cheers
Yes that is correct
Hey – you should simply be able to use a recent posts shortcode in there, are you having issues with it displaying?
I bought salient using the account brothman01 but I cannot login.
I have a nectar slider on my page that fills in with white on hover. That part is correct, but the text is white and so when the background is filled in it becomes unreadable. How do I change the text color (to black) on hover?
The Site: new.BenRothman.org
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.swiper-slide .button.transparent_2 a:hover {
color: #000!important;
}
Cheers
Instead of the menu, the hamburger on mobile shows the sidebar widget. How can I make it show the menu? I think switching this to default ( and making it hard to find ) is a mistake.

Hey – do you have the option for “Off Canvas Menu Mobile Nav Menu items” checked?
Hey,
Just FYI, a minor thing: For some reason the Two columns that I have on this Clients Display (on the bottom of the page) http://web120.webhotelli.fi/~denco250/portfolio/pekoni/ (the URL is temporary) pile up on top of each other vertically – at least on my desktop screen. I’m using the newest version of Chrome. The Clients Display is In Container, although I tried also Full-width background and Full-width content with the same result.
This is just for your information.
Hey,
Thanks for noting!
Cheers
Hi
More and more people joining this conversation, I would love to hear some thoughts or the opinion of someone from the development team about this specific topic/request:
https://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/189313It’s been almost a year since someone of the developers jumped into this conversation
Thank you!
Hey – will take another look into it shortly
Cheers
Thanks
You’re welcome
Any news ?
Hi again
As my topic is almost half a year old and the user community with the same portfolio issue is growing (see forum thread) I just wanted to kindly ask again about any process on this issue?
Thank you very much!
Appreciate all you efforts you put into this amazing theme!
Hey, is it possible to make the navigation menu always visible in the same size, without bigger on the top of page? When I scroll down, it’s smaller and looks very nice, but when the page is opening and when we’re at the top, this navigation menu has different height :(( Is it possible to make it small the same all the time?
Hey – yes, you can turn off the header resize effect in your theme options panel > header tab and also control the padding
Awesome! Is it possible to disable the navigation menu after scrolling down? I mean that the menu would be only on the top, so we don’t see it after scrolling down?
Hey – this option is coming in the next update due out in a couple weeks

Just installed the Theme for the first time after having bought it months ago. Am I missing something here regarding the variety Visual composer elements? I don’t see basic things like buttons or titles available? Is this a mistake on my end or does the template just have a VERY limited version of visual composer? I see buttons and titles on your demos.
Hey, buttons exist as shortcodes inside of the nectar shortcode generator available in every edit text block
Cheers
Hi,
2 questions:
- I use Revolution Slider, but the burger color is stuck in black color. What should I do to change that ?
- How can I force the burger color to white ?
Thanks !
Could you kindly share your URL in regards?
It goes black each time there is a revolution slider, even if I set the Header Starting Text Color in red !
I set the header in transparency.
I just found that it is just something with the opacity and the background-color for each line.
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
body #header-outer.transparent .midnightHeader.dark header#top nav ul .slide-out-widget-area-toggle a i.lines, body #header-outer.transparent .midnightHeader.dark header#top nav ul .slide-out-widget-area-toggle a i.lines, body #header-outer.transparent .midnightHeader.dark header#top nav ul .slide-out-widget-area-toggle a i.lines:before, body #header-outer.transparent .midnightHeader.dark header#top nav ul .slide-out-widget-area-toggle a i.lines:after {
background-color: #777!important;
}
Cheers
