Hello Salient Team! I’m having issues with the Milestone Symbols in 7.0.8 and I cannot get anything to appear outside the numbers and Milestone Subject. Is there a bug? It worked fine in 7.0.7 and it’s a great feature.
Hey, there’s no current known issue like this. Could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on

?Hi there, We got some problems ’’adding’’ the megamenu to our website. In your guides(.pdf and video on Youtube) there seems to be a css form in the menu tabs on the menu page. On our website the css form doesn’t show up. How can we add a megamenu to our website? Thanks in advance!
Hey,
You need to enable the css classes field by checking the box in your screen options tab which is located on the top right of your screen when editing your menu in appearance > menus

Hello, my WP updated to 4.5.2 – the Visual Composer now says version 4.11.2 is the minimum version required, so nothing is working with 4.9.2. Will the VC be updated soon?
Thanks!
Hey,
Salient VC 4.11.2 is included with the latest Salient (7.0.8) any version prior to that won’t have the update available
Cheers
Yes, I doubled checked on all of that before I updated, I even re-downloaded Salient today to be sure i had 7.0.8. I’m definitely running 7.0.8, but when I go to the plugins to update VC, it tells me VC is 4.9.2 and that “To receive automatic updates license activation is required. Please visit Settings to activate your Visual Composer.”
I’m confused 
I also removed 3rd party plugins to see if that helped and it didn’t.
If you’re upgrading from Salient VC 4.9.2, you’ll need to delete the plugin from your plugins section in the WordPress admin panel before installing the current version (4.11.2) in Appearance > Install Plugins – This is necessary due to a bug in the Salient VC 4.9.2 which prevents regular updating.
Cheers
Ah, yes! That worked, thanks so much!
You’re welcome
how can i hide them menu on a specific page, but keep the header and logo so they can click back to the homepage?
I ask because I have a 1 page scroll site (http://compasshosting7.com/) and a blog (http://compasshosting7.com/industry-news/) that is not part of the 1 page nav. So, when someone navs to the blog, they lose the ability to nav through the site because of the 1 page feature.
Would the best solution be to hide the menu on the blog page only or do you suggest something else? If it’s the latter, can you provide instructions of the custom css to do that?
As always, thanks in advance
Hey,
This could be sorted by using the full URL in your anchor links e.g.http://compasshosting7.com/#whoinstead of ”#who”
Cheers
I tried to use the full URL in the ‘Custom link’ in the menu and it just loaded a blank page. What am I doing wrong…where should I add this full URL to?
Hey,
Make sure you also have the option checked for “Disable Fade Out On Click” for your page transitions in the Salient options panel
Cheers
There we go, thanks!

Since updating wordpress and salient 7.0.8 my visual composer doesn’t work anymore. I can’t edit anything anymore. What is the problem?
already fixed it
Hey, glad to hear
Hi, Could you explain how – which files i need to edit – so i can hide the “no comments” and “love this” buttons please?
Hey,
Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can see your blog settings?
Cheers
Hey, add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.meta-comment-count, .nectar-love-wrap {
display: none!important;
}
Thank you! That has got rid of the heart button and the no comments from the posts overview, and the no comments button from the single post. but the heart button still exists on single post.
nevermind, added .nectar-love to the above as well to fix it cheers guys!
Hey, glad to hear you sorted it
Hi, I love Salient. But I need to add an extra row above the main menu and put the logo, search and cart on that row instead. a bit like the header at this website: http://www.backcountry.com/
Is this possible or is their some custom hack that can be done? Please advise as I really don’t want to switch to another theme.
Many thanks
Hey – as of now this would indeed require some custom development unfortunately. The closest thing Salient offers is the centered alt header layout, but it’s not quite like that
I want to show gif animations in the blog feed. How do I fix it? www.crafty.se
Hey, WordPress converts animated gifs into static gifs when cropping them – the masonry blog uses image sizes to create the grid layout so in that style it wouldn’t be possible without some custom development or possibly the use of a plugin
Does your theme allow for the use of a transparent header with a Revolution Slider? I’ve read somewhere that this theme only supports transparent headers with the Nectar Slider. Just wanted to clarify that I could indeed use Rev Slider and have a transparent header, then the static one with a background color after the visitor starts scrolling
Hey – it is indeed possible now, you’ll need to use the force transparent header checkbox in your page header settings metabox when editing the page that’s using revslider
Hi. When I select the ‘Dark’ theme for top menu style, the menu items appear as I’d like, with grey font and no visible border, then on hover there is a border added the same color as font accent color. This is the look that I want to achieve, but I need the header to be a different color, so I have switched to the ‘Custom’ color theme. Now I am able to change the header color as desired but now there is a grey border around my menu items which appears to match the font color. Is there a way to set it so the border only shows on hover? Or even a way to set the border color separately so I can make it the same color as the header and therefore make it invisible? Thanks
Also, I’m having an issue with a button. It looks fine on my 23inch monitor but on my 15inch laptop it is creating a white background which distorts surrounding elements and I’m not sure why, it doesn’t appear to be caused by padding. Perhaps you could take a look? It’s the red ‘contact us today’ button at the bottom of the page here: http://tinyurl.com/zz2n9ch
Sorry for asking so many questions, I have one more if that is okay. Is there a way of getting more controls for videos within the Nectar Slider? For example, if I wanted to define my own loop points in the video, instead of it looping the whole thing. That way I could have an intro with lots of movement that only plays once, and then it loops the end part with less movement, so as not to distract from other parts of the site.
Hey,
1. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
body header#top nav > ul > li.button_bordered > a:before {
background-color: transparent;
}
2. If you’re referring to the white spaces near your blue columns, that’s caused by the varying length of text in each – some screen screens where the line breaks earlier will cause this. Css would be needed to force a minimum height
3. Unfortunately as of now this would require custom development – using a third party slider like revolution slider may offer this control by default though
Cheers
Thanks for the reply, that’s really helpful. One more follow-up question:
2. Yes I am referring to the white spaces by the blue columns. Another way to fix this would be if I could create another row within that row and make it’s border blue. But it is not allowing me to create more rows inside rows. I find this to be very restrictive and that feature is quite important to me. Is there a way to enable more rows within rows, is it achievable with css, or can you recommend an alternate visual composer that might offer this functionality?
1. Just tried your css code but nothing changes…
Hey,
1. WordPress doesn’t allow nested shortcodes which is why Visual Composer doesn’t allow more than two levels of nested rows (they’re actually different shortcodes.. [vc_row] nad [vc_row_inner]
2. Have you removed the css as i’m not currently seeing it applied to the front end of the site
I am using your recommended comments regarding hiding rows on mobile/desktop: see below.
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.mobile-hidden {
display: none!important;
}
}
@media only screen and (min-width:1000px) {
.desktop-hidden {
display: none!important;
}
}
However, there is a thick white bar appearing below my navigation on mobile. Please see at www.virtruve.com. I’ve tried “inspecting” it with Chrome – but cannot figure out what is causing that. Can you help?
Hey, add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width:1000px) {
body.home .container-wrap {
padding-top: 55px!important;
}
}
There is an issue/bug with the header in the boxed layout. At certain widths, the header will longer than the rest of the boxed layout.
Hey,
Could you kindly share you URL so I can see the settings you’re using to replicate?
Cheers
Your setup appears to be missing the browser reset included at the top of the style.css by default

vertical-align: baseline;
font-family: inherit;
font-weight: inherit;
font-style: inherit;
font-size: 100%;
outline: 0;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
border: 0;
}
have you removed this?
Hey Guys,
It’s me again, for some reason the portfolio sidebar is not resizing correctly in screens 10”, 12” and 13” .
Can you point me out the correct way to solve this? thanks.
Sebastian
Also for Meta below w/ links on hover on 10”, 12” and 13” screens project excerpt gets aligned to the left and not on center.
Hey, could you please share your URL in regards so I can have a look why those issues are occurring for you?
Cheers
Hey, add these into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1300px) and (min-width: 1000px) {
html body .default-style .portfolio-items.constrain-max-cols:not([data-ps="6"]) .col.elastic-portfolio-item .work-meta {
width: 100%!important;
padding: 5%;
}
}
body.single-portfolio #sidebar #sidebar {
width: 100%!important;
}
I love you guys! Great support as always!
Cheers
I have a client that would like the woocommerce cart always enabled (not just when there is an item in the cart). Is this possible?
Hey,
Yes – change your theme skin to “ascend” in the general settings tab of the Salient options panel
Cheers
Hello guys,
Quick question, is it possible to add a centered small nectar button below the project excerpt in the portfolio page? I’m using Meta below w/ links on hover. This button will link to the post itself, like a “more details button”. Please let me know.

Hey,
Unfortunately as of now this would require modding of the shortcode-processing.php file located in the nectar/tinymce directory as there’s no way css alone could handle this
Cheers
Thank you!
You’re welcome
HI, sent you privet message 2 days ago and was wondering when you will get back with me with the answers of the questions I asked. I am kinda in rush because I need to make decision which theme to buy please let me know i am waiting for your email. Thanks
Hey, just took a look and responded
Hi guys!
Are you planning to release a new demo? if yes, when? Loved the new features included in the last one (corporate) and can’t wait to see more.
This is the best theme ever made. My congratulations to all the ThemeNectar Team! <3
Hey, new demos are indeed on the way! There’s no ETA as of now for when they’ll land though
Cheers
Can you advise what the requirements are for the full functioning of the theme? In particular, what version of PHP is required? Thanks!
Hey,
Salient itself doesn’t have any special requirements – and the Salient Visual Composer requires same server standards as WordPress: https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/ please check them and compare to your hosting option.
Cheers
On the Nectar Slider there’s an option to add a little animated down arrow. How do I move the arrow down a bit?
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel
.swiper-wrapper .slider-down-arrow {
bottom: 0!important;
}
Cheers
Hey! Super quick Question- the contact form on your corporate demo… is that available through the theme? If not is it a plugin you used? If so, what is the plugin?
Disregard! Figured it out.
Hey, glad to hear!
