Hi there! Log time buyer here… just wondering if you are planning to add Visual Composer post grids in future updates?
(Btw…Salient still one of best themes in my opinion)
Cheers!
Hey! It’s been an item on the wishlist but as of now there’s no ETA

I want to translate the Spanish theme, how do I do?
Hey, you can use the .po file in regards. There are tools that exist that allow you to translate easily – please see this for a resource: https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/tools/poedit/
How can I change my link colors? Can’t find it ANYWHERE and adding style rules does nothing.
Hey, the accent color you set in the option panel is used for link colors – if you want one separate than that add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
html body a {
color: #000;
}
I need to change the color of the social icons in my off canvas menu to #bc2b3c.
Is there a way to do this?
Hey, add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
#slide-out-widget-area .off-canvas-social-links li i {
color: #bc2b3c!important;
}
I am attempting to remove the column padding between visual composer items to no avail. www.lilasrq.com/test – I am trying to get the two slider images to merge together without the white space.
Hey, give the row a class name so you can target it without affecting everything. e.g. “no-spacing” and then add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.wpb_column {
margin-left: 0!important;
}
Excellent. Thank you so much. One quick question. When using a class name such as “no-spacing” how would I include that in the custom.css box to only target that class? Your input is much appreciated.
The snippet would be
.no-spacing .wpb_column {
margin-left: 0!important;
}
I am having a problem with a client’s site. They were still on version 4.5.22 so I updated them to the current version and also updated wp. Everything is fine with VC but I am having a few issues elsewhere.
One issue is the menu not sticking to the top. It works just fine on my test site but when I brought everything over to their site the menu won’t stick and disappears as you scroll. Once you get to the bottom of the site the menu slides back down and will stay stuck at the top when you scroll back up but if you start scrolling back down it disappears again. I can’t figure out how I got it to stick on my test site. I’m sure I’m missing a setting somewhere.
The closing “X” icons on the off screen menu and video pop up are missing on desktop but not mobile, there is a square and text letting you know something is missing and it will close when pressed. And again they look fine on my test site.
Last issue is the footer text not taking up the full area on the bottom. It looks like it’s placed in a 1/3 widget area but I disabled those and simply used the Footer Copyright Section Text.
Sites for reference: Live site – http://cryon7.com/ Test Site – http://cryon7.adamwermuth.com/
Hey,
1. You have the options set differently – all you need to do on the live site is turn off the “hide header until needed” effect in the header navigation tab
2. Have you tried clearing your cache? Currently I am able to see the x icon when viewing on an iPhone.
3. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
div#footer-outer .span_5 {
width: 100%;
}
Cheers
Hey there! I’m trying to get a widget of mine to center. At best, I can only get the text “follow us now:” to center – not the icons. Any way to center the entire widget with your CSS magic? Bridgeconsultingpractice.com, the social media icons in the footer.
Thanks so much for your time! Graham
Hey!
It appears you’re currently using two widgets – are you trying to center them in the middle stacked on top of each other?
Cheers
How can I change the line height of the pie chart titles?
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
body .vc_pie_chart .wpb_pie_chart_heading {
line-height: 40px!important;
}
Awesome thank you! One last question, it’s something I’m most likely overlooking, but how can I get the portfolio items to open within in the same window. They are currently opening in a new tab.
Awesome thank you! One last question, it’s something I’m most likely overlooking, but how can I get the portfolio items to open within in the same window. They are currently opening in a new tab.
No problem 
Could you kindly share your URL so I can see why that would be occurring?
Do you have an “External Project URL” set in the project configuration metabox of your projects?
No, they are empty.
Any other thoughts as to what it could be?
For some reason your WP setup is setting the links with your domain name in capital letters e.g. “http://IMPACT-online.net/16083/directory/?portfolio=jane-doe-2” This is triggering the portfolio external function in the init.js file located in the js folder. If you’re unaware of why your setup is echoing the domain name in caps and want to remove the function instead – delete this segment from the init.js file
//portfolio external links
$(".portfolio-items a[href*='http://']:not([href*='"+window.location.hostname+"']), .recent_projects_widget a[href*='http://']:not([href*='"+window.location.hostname+"'])").attr("target","_blank");
Is there an option somewhere to turn the slider down arrow on/off? I don’t seem to have it on my new install.
Found it! It is actually an option on each particular slide, rather than a global option.
Hey, glad to hear you sorted it
I have 2 questions 1) can you have more than one call to action per page on different things and if so how.
E.g. 3 call to actions. Product 1 : Learn more Product 2: Learn more product 3: Learn more
Question 2) I’d like to Expand upon this comment.
ThemeNectar ThemeNectar AUTHOR about 3 years ago Flag Hey phwac!
The call to action section can be edited right from the general settings tab in your theme options panel. If you want to place extra things in there like a form sign up, you would need to edit the call to action section in footer.php file.
I would like to know how to add a form sign up with aweber to my call to action. I don’t know how to edit the footer.php file and what code to use.
Hey,
1. You’d have to make the call to action using Visual Composer – it would be a fairly simple setup. Use a row that’s set to full width background, choose your desired BG color and then in the column where you’d write your text/have your button tick the box for centered content alignment and give the column some padding.
2. What are you using for your form signup? Is it a plugin, do you have a shortcode to enter?
Cheers
Hi,
On the page http://ewburman.com/17/new/ can you help me remove the gray space between the bottom of the nectar slider and the top of the footer?
Thanks
Hey, could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on themenectar.ticksy.com/
Also kindly let me know the ticket ID here
Hi,

Thanks

Hi Theme Nectar.
Is it possible to create a “Recent Projects” element on the frontpage that shows 6 items horizontally and 3 vertically. the Recent Projects does only show 4 projects maximum?
Hey there
Making multiple rows of projects to rotate in a carousel would indeed require some custom modding to the init.js file as of now. For that setup it would easier to just use a portfolio element and limit the number of projects. It’s also easier to adjust the column number with css on the actual portfolio element
Visual Composer, I have updated the site to the latest wordpress but now the visual composer won’t work, any suggestions as to what to do?
Hey,
The only version of Salient that is compatible with the latest WP is Salient 7.0.8, and the only version of Salient Visual Composer that is compatible with WP 4.5 is 4.11.2. If you’re using older versions of these and have updated to WP 4.5, your visual composer will not work.
Once you’ve updated Salient, head to the plugins section of your admin panel to update Visual Composer. If you’re having issues after using both the current versions, check for third party plugin issues – WP 4.5 added a new version of jQuery and a lot of plugins broke because of it.
thank for the reply the trouble is we have made sooo many changes to the theme 
is there no other solution?
Hey, you’d need to either revert to 4.4 or manually change the parts of the init.js and Salient VC which are broken with 4.5 – are your mods not in a child theme?
Is there away to add additional lightbox options from third parties to the “Theme Lightbox” dropdown in General Settings > Functionality ? We had tried to add DFactories Photo Swipe Lightbox: https://www.dfactory.eu/products/photoswipe-lightbox/ plugin and it doesn’t work.
Hey, the bugfix update that’s coming out soon (and available as beta through the support forum) will add an option to disable the theme lightbox all together – thus allowing third party lightbox scripts to work normally
Is there a way to get the houzz icon to show in the footer via the salient footer options? Substituted the Behance logo for now. http://692.cdc.mwp.accessdomain.com/projects/
Hey, as of now this would require adding it in within the footer.php file itself. I’ve noted your +1 for the idea though
ok great thanks.
Cheers
Is there a reason why your theme uses px for font sizing, rather than em/rem?
Hey, there’s pros and cons with both – px was my preference. There is also responsive logic for the px values. Please let me know what you’re having issues with so I can assist
Hi, no issues, just curious at your choice of px for a responsive framework. As a developer myself, I’ve been using em (and more recently rem) for the last 5/6 years and was just wondering the main reason you chose px above those
Sure, I think this article sums it up nicely https://benfrain.com/just-use-pixels/ tldr; personally I just feel it’s easier and the benefits I’d get with Salient from switching it from px to em at this point don’t seem worth the transition
How come some features do not resize with mobile? Sometimes the nectar pictures sliders will resize and sometimes they will not. As well as the “submit comment” button at the bottom of my posts. They are way too large.
Hey, please share a URL where you’re having issues with the resizing of the Nectar Slider so I can take a look at your settings to assist
Cheers
Hey, make sure you have the flexible height turned on for those sliders as that’s what allows for a resize like you’d expect
Flexible height is turned on… thats why I am wondering why it is not working
//escape if not placed in a flexible ready position
if($(this).parents('.wpb_row.full-width-content').length == 0 && $(this).attr('data-full-width') == 'false') { $(this).attr('data-flexible-height','false'); return false; }
out of the nectar-slider.js file located in the js folder
Cheers
On my about page I use full width content… so i want that to still be an option. But i don’t want my pictures that i post in a blog post to be full width. What will happen if i delete this section?
The flexible height works on the first picture gallery or two but then doesn’t work for the rest. it is weird.
How do i get rid of the buttons on the top of my header? I’m not sure what I clicked on to make them show up? http://brookescheurn.com/2016/05/29/a-day-in-milano/
Hey, add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
#page-header-bg[data-post-hs="default_minimal"] .inner-wrap > a {
border: none!important;
}
I see how you made the border of the buttons disappear but can is there an option to take them off completely? i like having the categories but I don’t really want them to be shown up at the top of my header.
Sure, just change the snippet to this instead
#page-header-bg[data-post-hs="default_minimal"] .inner-wrap > a {
display: none!important;
}
How come my fullwidth masonry blog is showing my full post (http://brookescheurn.com/travel/italy/) and not just an image with the title like it does in the demo here http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266? what do i need to select?
Never mind i figured this out.
Hey, glad to hear
Heya! Any estimation on when the theme will be updated to support the latest version of font-awesome? Love the theme so far!
Hey! It’ll be in the next feature based release – no eta as of now but there will be a bugfix release out shortly
