Does anyone know how to install custom fonts into Salient theme?
Hey – it would require custom css or a plugin. If you go the pure CSS route see this in regards https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/using-font-face/
On the link above you’ll see it is a password protected page. I was curious if you could point me in the direction of how to change the text that currently is “This content is password protected. To View it please enter your password below:” Also if you could assist with some css to give the password form area some breathing room. You’ll see that the text and submit button are almost flush right up against the bounding area. I would like to add some padding to the top and bottom of this area.
Thanks!
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
form.post-password-form {
padding: 150px;
}
Also see this in regards

My header is glitching up on mobile (http://bit.ly/1O4ugzt). Any idea why this happening? Thanks! // URL: http://wemaff.com/
Hey! Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
#header-outer[data-transparent-header="true"].transparent #logo img, #header-outer[data-transparent-header="true"] #logo .starting-logo, #header-outer[data-transparent-header="true"].light-text #logo img {
display: none;
}
}
That made both logos disappear, and now the admin bar collapses for no reason mobile. http://bit.ly/1OwVqzr & http://bit.ly/1Nqv9Fh
Sorry!
Use this instead
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px)
#header-outer[data-transparent-header="true"].transparent #logo img.dark-version, #header-outer[data-transparent-header="true"] #logo .starting-logo, #header-outer[data-transparent-header="true"].light-text #logo img {
display: none;
}
I’m having a few more problems and am in need of some help.
1. The nectar slider images appear to be cropped. On mobile they look OK, but only on some of the images. How would I fix this? The same goes if I adjust my browser for a smaller window. The smaller I go, the more the picture is actually displayed.
2. In the portfolio, the thumbnails for each album is varying in height. Some are perfect, while others are long. How can I make them all the same size?
3. Again in the portfolio, on mobile, some of the images are rotated and displayed sideways instead of the way it was uploaded. How can I prevent this from occurring?
4. On mobile, in my menu section, I have a service page. However, if I click service, it does not go to that page but instead only pulls up the sub-menu page. How can I make it to where if Service is clicked, it goes to that specific page and not just the sub-menu list?
I believe that is everything, I am coming close to actually finishing my website, and just trying to fix all the little things now. If you would like the actually URL I can give it to you, but as of now my website is set to a “coming soon” page. I appreciate your help.
PS. I love this theme. I just hope I’m doing it justice and using it to its full potential.
Hey,
1. You need to use the flexible slider height option – please share your URL in regards so I can take a look though
2. If you’ve uploaded all image at the minimum dimensions as specified in the user guide try running this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/ also make sure you’re using the featured image upload rather than the custom thumbnail
3. Please share the URL in regards
4. You’d need to turn off the mobile sticky navigation option to get the alternative mobile menu that allows this

1. I have tried the flexible slider height option, but still does not work. At first I had uploaded a few images set at 1800 width but that still made no difference so I began uploading pictures and figured I would correct it later. Of course, I realized then I would have to go back and re-upload them again if I had to, so I stopped uploading until we can figure this out. The home page does not have the flexible slider option on, but the about page does just to show you.
2. I must have missed the featured image upload rather than the custom thumbnail. I’ll look and see if I can find it, I’m sure I overlooked it.
3. I’m not sure what changed, but they are not appearing sideways anymore, but a number of these photos are cropped as well using the image gallery.
4. sorted out and is working now.
I do have another question as well, but would like to take care of these issues first. Thank you for all the help.
I found the featured image upload and have sorted the image variations out. So now I am just trying to keep the images from cropping in the nectar sliders on the home and about page, as well as in the portfolio feature images and gallery images.
also, another issue I am having is adjusting the portfolio order to random. I have gone into the nectar/tinymce and downloaded the shortcode php file. I located
$portfolio_arr = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => $posts_per_page, ‘post_type’ => ‘portfolio’, ‘project-type’=> $category, ‘paged’=> $paged );
and added ‘orderby’=>’rand’ after ‘paged’=>$paged but when i upload the new php file consisting of the new order command I am just given an error so I know I am missing something.
Hey,
1. Your about page images used in the slider are very tall – if you have the flexible height option on you’d need to set the slider height to 2400 to ensure no clipping
2. What’s the error you’re getting?
Cheers
1. I can re-size all my images. would 1800 width be good enough? I tried resizing some of the photos like the 2nd one on the home page, but it still did the same thing so i didn’t worry about resizing any others.
2. I actually fixed the randomize portfolio option. i placed the orderby just after the $category, and it works fine. I guess I was just misplacing the command.
looks like I just need to fix my image sizing on my sliders and gallery now. so what would the recommended width and height be for the nectar sliders, feature images in the portfolio, and the image gallery?
3. only other question I have was, is it I possible to place the header options in the footer as well? logo and menu?
I appreciate all your help. hopefully this will be the last time and I can sort everything out.
Hey again,
1. It’s more about the height than the width – unless you were okay with having super tall sliders, for a full width slider display there’s no need to have the height of the image over 700px – 800px
3. You can use the page menu widget for this but adding the logo would need to be done in a text widget using an html img tag
Cheers
I seem to have sorted out all my image problems I think. I am still working on the cropped images in the portfolio, but perhaps re-sizing those as well. What size do you recommend the images be for the feature image in the portfolio, and in the gallery?
Is it possible to move the widgets around? I added my main menu in the first widget, but it is displayed only in the first widget column. So I went into the footer.php file and added
- <?php wp_nav_menu( array(‘theme_location’ => ‘top_nav’, ‘container’ => ’’, ‘items_wrap’ => ‘%3$s’ ) ); ?>
Again, I appreciate all your help.
Hey,
1. The minimum size for the portfolio you’re using is 600px by 400px – everything you upload will get cropped to that so keep that in mind. Also VC Gallery allows you to define any dimensions you want
2. It would require css
#footer-widgets .row > .col:nth-child(2) { width: 70%!important; }
#footer-widgets .row > col:nth-child(3), #footer-widgets .row > .col:nth-child(4) { display: none!important; }
Cheers
1. Thank you!
2. That helped, along with Tahir’s help as well, but it is all bunched up and not spaced like it should be. Everything was entered in a text box though using tags.
Hey, the snippet I provided was based on the site you shared with only two footer columns – if you are still going after that you’ll have to hide the last column currently there:
#footer-widgets .col_last {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
The CSS does not enable me to have any information below my menu. If i have a text box with my menu in widget two, the entire column goes blank. I do not mind using all four widgets, but the information is overlapping and laying on-top of each other.
Hey – Could you kindly add a text widget in under your menu so I can the column going blank?
I have my logo in widget 1, menu in widget 2, and a text box in widget 3. the text box has three separate columns, i was able to get the text separated, now I am working on trying to get it spaced evenly under the menu, but still struggling with it. I am not using widget 4, but if I need to i can simply remove one of the columns in 3.
i’m not sure why, but my logo in the heading disappeared as well. I uploaded the logo in the header again, but now it is small. I tried increasing the height in the header option, but then it leaves to much white space.
Just checked mobile as well, the logo is now extremely small on mobile to where it is barely visible. I’m not sure what went wrong. I logged in and it just vanished. It is appearing now at least. How do i resize the logo without adding increasing the header white space? I had it adjusted with a height of 120px (which it is still set at, but the size is completely different now.
Hey,
1. Add this in as well
#footer-widgets .row > .col:nth-child(3) {
width: 70%;
}
2. Sizing for the mobile logo is coming in the next update – however for now you can use this css
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 1px) {
body header#top #logo img, #header-outer[data-permanent-transparent="false"] #logo .dark-version {
height: 70px!important;
}
header#top, #header-outer:not([data-permanent-transparent="1"]) {
height: 100px!important;
}
header#top #toggle-nav {
top: 25px!important;
}
}
Both worked well! thank you! is there a way to remove the horizontal lines being displayed between the content?
Also, the logo in the header (in desktop mode) is smaller than i would like. I have added to the height, but it increased the white space (padding) below as well. How can I enlarge my log but keep the header space the exact same as it is now?
Sorted the footer complete, just need assistance with the desktop header logo
Hey – i’m still seeing the desktop logo as a 120px tall, do you have it set to something else?
Yes I still have the logo height at 120px, but the issue is before I had to re-upload the image, the logo was larger inside the same white header space. However, now if I try to enlarge the image the actual header spacing enlarges as well. Is there a way to increase my logo image without increasing the header?
You’d have to set the header padding to a smaller number – have you tried to enter a low value for that input?
Yes I have, but for some reason it did not work. I believe the original header padding is 28. I tried adjusting that but nothing happened. I have set the logo height to 180, if you visit the page you should be able to see how the entire header section enlarges, which is what I am trying to avoid.
Hey,
It seems http://i.imgur.com/TX0T1R9.jpg your logo itself has a lot of extra space on the top / bottom in the img. If you removed that the illusion of the header being larger than everything else will go away
Cheers
Sorted! I uploaded the un-cropped image! Thanks for all the help!
You’re welcome 
How can I create a 2 column portfolio with either rectangular or square images, as there is only an option for 3 or 4 column or full width. I’ve seen a website utilizing Salient that was linked to in the comments section and the person had a 2 column rectangular portfolio option. Thank you. -Aviad
Hey – if you used the constrain max columns to 4 and chose the masonry layout if all projects were set to “wide & tall” It would create a 2 column layout since that style takes up 2 regular spaces
Cheers
I tried the settings you mentioned and it just shows 4 across. All the settings are specific to what you mentioned, yet still not working.
Please share the URL so I can take a look
Cheers
I opened a Private Ticket with the link and additional info: Private Ticket #613948 Please review and thank you.
sticky sidebar jumps from the right side to the left upon scrolling
Hey, please share your URL in regards
Cheers
Could you kindly open a private ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a closer look? https://themenectar.ticksy.com
I opened a private ticket 612677
How does the sticky sidebar work in the demo, but will not work on my site? Is there a setting that I have configured incorrectly to cause the sidebar to jump from the right side to the left?
Hey – I responded on the ticket, could you please add your admin credentials on there?
Hi again!
Two questions,
-would be possible to implement an slider like this, where you can see the previous and next image? http://www.the-boundary.com/mryuhxrh8itry8gqq9diw1v78oodig
-If light box activated in the portfolio, is there a way to access to a single project page with more images? I think this option is more than necesary.
Many Thanks!
This is another example of the gallery http://www.officinemimesi.com/work
Hey,
1. It will be in the next update
2. If you use the default style there’s a link for both: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/portfolio-fullwidth-default/
Cheers
Great to know that will be in the next update. any idea of the date? Great theme already, but that will be a great addition : )
Regarding my second question, . Could I have it with this configuartion. http://avixual.com/architectural-visualisation/I would love not having the “more optons details” gust still be able to get into the project if there is more than one image on that project, and get lightbox when there is only an image on the feature image.
Hey,
1. Later this month, no date set in stone
2. As of now this would take some file modding to the shortcode-processing.php in regards since the single project link is not output for that project style when using lightbox only
Cheers
Thanks,
1. Great to know the next update is coming soon then.
2. Something it could do someone with a decent knowledge of coding? If not please consider the modification for future development. I think it will be another great addition.
Cheers
Hi again!. I can see Salient 7 is already here.Playing with it I see the slider I was asking for, similar to this http://www.the-boundary.com/i21tl5bviryqtos9zgrcartpntp777 is the image gallery touch enable & spaced?
A few things:
-how could I get rid of the mini bars below to and move in a smilar way to the example?
-Any css modification for the space in between photographs to make it smaller?
-Could be a way to adjust all photographs to their height so images with portrait format could be rescaled and seen completely?
Many Thanks!

I would like to second what acafella11 said… i preferred the old version, and the new version does not inherit the colours… its basically stuck at white, which in my case makes it illegible.
referring to the social/comments etc at the top of posts
Hey,
Please see my response to his comment for more information on the subject – also if you would like to alter the colors please share a post URL so I can see the issue
Cheers
Okay thanks – when can we expect these options that are on the way?
Here’s 2 links where colours control would help greatly http://www.llirik.com/2015/12/captain-detective-trailer/ http://scope.me/projects/captain-detective/Hey – thanks for sharing, i’ve noted to sort this issue out with the update which will be out before the end of the month
Cheers
Hi pals, I had a meeting today, with a client, and when I showed my site : www.growingcreatives.com , I found some Nectar problem, Apparently, all my slides “become” one
the other days works correctly, so i dont undestand
nothing touch nothing. thanks a lot!
Hey,
You need to update to the current release of the theme if you’re using WP 4.4 in order to get compatibility
Cheers
HI, thanks for your answer! I have de WP 4.4 and the Salient 6.0 , that’s ok?
Salient 6.1.72 is the version which is compatible with WP 4.4
Cheers
Hey, I’d like the page heading and subtitle + portfolio page heading to be bigger when viewing in mobile size. Could I achieve that with some custom CSS code?
Hey – add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
html body #page-header-bg .span_6 h1 {
font-size: 34px!important;
line-height: 40px!important;
}
}
Hey, My portfolio items open in alphabetical order (when I click the next/previous arrows). I’d like the order to be by date. What should I change?
Hey – have you verified no plugins you have active are causing this?
I’ve installed the theme and the shortcode generator icon is not appearing within the Pages tab. I also don’t have the option to toggle between text and visual editor mode. Please advise.
Hey,
please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on

Hi there,
Is it possible to apply the same semi transparent background that you can in the nectar slider caption to the heading as well?
Many thanks, Jim
Hey – as of now this would require some custom css:
.swiper-slide .content h2 {
padding: 4px 0px;
display: inline;
position: relative;
left: 10px;
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
line-height: 45px;
}
Cheers
Great thanks!
Is there a way to add some padding at the bottom to stop the caption or button from sitting directly below the transparent heading background?
http://cornishfencingcompany.co.uk/Many thanks
Hey,
Add this as well:
body .swiper-slide .content p {
margin-top: 20px;
}
Cheers
Hi,
At this point it seems like that it is only possible to add main categories to the portfolio section “Portfolio Categories”. Is that right or can I also show subcategories in the pagination?
My client, for example, has a main category named Products with subcategories. However, right now, we can only choose the main products category in the portfolio section ( shortcode ).
Sincerely, Mika
Hey – if you wanted sub categories to show you’d need to not use the inline filter option as the dropdown will indeed displayed them 
Cheers
Hey
Thanks for your reply.
Actually it is already doing that as you can see here: http://allergycertified.com/ny/products/
We have chosen the parent category as you can see here: http://allergycertified.com/ny/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Screen-Shot-2015-12-16-at-8.28.53-AM.png . However, the child-categories are still not showing.
Sincerely, Mika
Hey again, add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.portfolio-filters li {
display: block!important;
}
Amazing, thanks!
By the way, can you tell me why I see all the categories and not the product category alone? http://allergycertified.com/ny/products/
Hey,
Could you kindly explain what you mean a little more on your last comment?
Cheers
Hi
Yes, if you hover over the filter, you will see all the products and with all the subcategories. However, I only desire to see the product category with its subcategories.
Sincerely, Mika
Hey,
Unfortunately this would take some custom development at the time being however the next update will help
Cheers
Amazing. When can I expect the next update? 
Before the end of the month 
Hey
Amazing, thanks!
Is there really no way to upload images that are smaller than the minimum width, and then allow the system to crop it to fix even though?
Sincerely, Mika
Hey – unfortunately that’s not how WP image sizes work natively
Full width section background parallax isn’t working on FireFox. Do you know if this is something that can be fixed?
Hey, please ensure you don’t have the styled scrollbar option on – if that’s not the case please share your URL in regards 
styled scollbar option was off, but turning it on actually fixed this issue. thanks
Interesting, if you want to turn it off and share your URL i’d be glad to take a look
Cheers
Hey Salient,
I was wondering how I would go about making my portfolio filter look & work like this? I’ve been scouring the comments but I couldn’t find anything.
Link: http://www.adamt4050.uk/portfolio-design-example/
- Adam 
Hey,
It would be a good start to use the inline filter option. after you turn that on for your portfolio please share your URL and i’ll assist you in centering aligning it
Cheers
Hey,
Here is the URL: http://www.adamt4050.uk/ Couldn’t find an “inline” option so I assumed you meant the horizontal filters?
Cheers
Hey, add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.portfolio-filters-inline #current-category {
display: none!important;
}
body .portfolio-filters-inline .container > ul {
max-width: 100%;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
Hi, can you tell me how to remove a black border/bar that is appearing below the centered header? It will temporarily disappear once you start scrolling and you will only see the header, but it returns when you scroll back to the very top of the page. Have been trying several methods to remove and none work.
Also, I’ve embedded a full content-width vimeo to appear right below header, but what’s happening is when you fist come to the site, the video displays for a few seconds as a small size then it opens into the full content width size. Do you know I can get it to only display at the full content width size?
Thanks!
Hey!
Could you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look at the setup to assist?
Cheers
Nectar Slider Problem:
Greetings, I have 3 Nectar Slider Locations and they are all showing up on the same slideshow! Previously was working ok. The website is here http://act3international.com.sg/
Never mind. I updated the theme and all is fine again.
Hey, glad to hear 
Hi! Can you tell me the media query break points for typography? I have some custom CSS on my site and I’m noticing that it’s not resizing like the non-customized copy. Thank you!
Hey,
Could you kindly let me know which elements you’re specifically trying to target – if you could possibly share the URL it would also help 
Cheers
Hey! http://cwassociates.wpengine.com/ is the page.
Looks like h2 resizes pretty small and h1, p.homeQuote and buttons stay large. Go ahead and make the screen narrow – you’ll see how it starts to look peculiar.
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
body .col h2 {
font-size: 16px!important;
line-height: 24px!important;
}
}
Thanks. Can you tell me where all the break points hit? I actually want to customize all of the typography. Thank you!
Hey,
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 690px) {
}
Cheers
Is there a way to do a light box with multiple elements? For example: a title, video, and some text.
Hey, more lightbox options are coming in the next update however for now you can add a description by filing out the relevant input box in the media library section of your admin panel for your media
