Hi!
Is there anyway I can use use shortcodes to get my search box like this: http://puu.sh/pwa0q/3b6483badd.jpg?
Thanks!
Hey!
Unfortunately there’s no shortcodes built into Salient that will allow that, you’d need a plugin in regards
Cheers
Thank you, ‘Author’! I hadn’t thought of that!
This information already helped a lot 
Best,

How do I create a boxed layout for my blog articles (I dont want the featured image to be full width of the page). I also dont want to show, author, share options, comments, next article, featured article, category or any of that, Just the article text with a featured image as a block layout.
Hey,
Are you referring to the single post page or the main blog layout which shows all the posts? – On the single post page as long as you don’t set a post header image there will be no full width header banner. In your Salient options panel > blog tab you’ll need to turn off the next post link and make sure you don’t have the fullscreen header type selected. Css would still then be needed to remove some of the post meta
Cheers
Hi there, Can anyone tell me where i can find dummy-data.xml file in the main zip ? Thank u
Hey, The dummy data can be imported via the demo importer tab in the Salient options panel. In regards to the actual dummy data xml locations the dummy data.txt file in the Salient download states – The dummy data files are now able to be imported from the theme options panel! If you would still like to know their whereabouts, you can find them in salient/nectar/redux-framework/extensions/wbc_importer – Cheers!
Hi there,
I need to extend the shadow to fit my extended dropdown menu.
http://prntscr.com/binasoThis is the code I added: .sf-menu ul li a { padding: 20px!important; width: 280px!important; }
Hey,
Could you please share your URL in regards?
Cheers
Also include this:
This is the code I added: .sf-menu ul { width: 280px!important; }
Hi ThemeNectar,
I am using the masonry fullwidth style for my blog with a featured image for each blog post. Can you please let me know how to increase the default size of the featured image in the masonry layout?
Hey,
Could you please share your URL so I can see your current theme settings?
Cheers
It appears your images in the masonry grid are occupying the full width available in the column as they should – could you be more specific as to what you’re trying to accomplish? Perhaps provide a rough mockup screenshot showing the desired goal
Cheers
Hi,
Thanks for taking a look. As you have said the images in the masonry grid are occupying full width, so is there any way to increase the column width further? sorry I do not have any mockups.
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
body #boxed, body #boxed #header-outer, body #boxed #header-secondary-outer, body #boxed #slide-out-widget-area-bg.fullscreen, body #boxed #page-header-bg[data-parallax="1"], #boxed #featured, body[data-footer-reveal="1"] #boxed #footer-outer, #boxed .orbit > div, #boxed #featured article, .ascend #boxed #search-outer {
max-width: 1700px!important;
}
}
Hi,
Sorry for the late reply, i tried this but there is no change.
I think I will stick to the current layout. Thanks for your help
If you still have the css in i’d be glad to take a look to see why it didn’t apply for you
Hi,
I have added the CSS. Please take a look and let me know
I’m currently seeing that it allowed your boxed layout to expand larger on larger monitors – Are you just trying to eliminate the space between the blog columns all together?
Cheers
Hi,
No, i want the space between the columns to stay as it is. The featured images are of the size : 800px x 800px , in the masonry layout the image is getting resized to around 320px x 320px. So i was wondering if there is any to increase the resized image size to around 400px x 400px.
Thanks
Looks like your Cart Page is broken in demo.
No matter how many products I add to cart! it doesn’t show them inside cart page . Thus I cannot view the checkout page too
Hey,
thanks for mentioning – i’ll take care of that later today

Hi Nectar,
I’ve been waiting for an answer of my last thread … There is a wrong behavior of image galleries placed in a tab (and an adittionel slider gallery on top of the page)
1.) Just figuered out another problem: I have placed on a single portfolio page a silder at the top and a gallery (salient gallery item; 3 columns, image grid style, meta on hover + entire thumb) inside a tab . After the update the opacity overlay of my accent color (like you can see similar in my justified image gallery created one of my example above) disappeared. No overlay color anymore (only meta). I’ve tested to place any new gallery on another site (NOT inside a tab!) and it works fine. So maybe the slider above or that it ist placed into a tab could be the issue.
The URL is http://www.bls-bayern.de/immobilien/eigentumswohnungen-in-muenchen-solln/. You have to navigate to the tab section “Umgebung”(directly below the slider on top of the page). The image gallery is placed here. Does not depend on any browser. Also the slider animation (fade) on top of the page does not work with Internet Explorer 10 + 11!
2.) Have you changed the behavior/optic of the progress bar item? It looks different now – you can take a look on the same page example above http://www.bls-bayern.de/immobilien/eigentumswohnungen-in-muenchen-solln/. It’s placed by shortcode in the portfolio widget area next to the top slider
3.) And last not but least: I’ve decided to buy another license of your lovely theme, because I want to rebuild my own site with WordPress and what else should I choose instead of salient?? 
$(window).load(function(){
$(window).trigger('resize');
});
CHeers – Markus
Hey again!
1. Add this into the custom css box:
.portfolio-items .work-info-bg {
position: absolute!important;
}
2. The style changed slightly in v 7.0 and also got smoother animation performance
3. Glad to hear!
Cheers
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
So last but not least: It would be great if you give us the option of a masonry gallery style like you do so with portfolio items. It looks great and the mix of landscape and tall pics would be the burner – which is BTW not possible with Justified Image Grid (you solved my problem to fit the screen in the former thread).
So PLEAAAAAAASE do it! 
And as always. Best support in town …
Cheers Markus
Hey – i’ve noted your +1 for the idea
Cheers
Adding custom post types seems to be quite the challenge with this theme. Nectar element “blog” or “recent posts” don’t support custom post types. Any idea on a workaround?
@ThemeNectar It seems within nectar-addons.php starting on line 2260 the logic could include custom post types.
Hey, the only way to allow cpts to show in the blog element would be custom modding as of now unfortunately
Hi, I can’t update Visual Composer to the latest version and now I can’t edit my current page. Please help !
Here is my screenshot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhNf9RFp8vc&hd=1
Thank you :))
Hey,
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!
Hey there! theme looks awesome! Just have a concern, is there a way to add custom html to the header nav bar. I haven’t seen any header social icons in any of your theme demos and I will need header social icons for a new project I am about to work on. Would love to use your theme.
Hey, thanks a lot!
this would require using a child theme as of now – however the next feature based update will allow the option for social icons in the main header
Cheers
Thanks for responding. Will this be difficult to implement with a child theme? does the theme come with a child theme out of the box. How difficult will this be to implement. One last question, does the theme come with a maintenance mode? Can I use it with a custom page design? Cheers
Hey,
1. It would require custom menu items to be added into the menu with the font awesome icons inside – if you know basic html it wouldn’t be too hard
2. You would need a plugin for a maintenance mode – there’s a lot available for this
Cheers
Hello. Quick question…. on desktop, with the Meta + 3D Parallax on hover, when i hover over the item, that is when the meta appears.
On mobile, the meta is always visible. Both these solutions are good.
But on iPad, the meta does not appear at all. Is it possible to make the meta on the iPad always be displayed like on iPhone?
Hey,
Are you using the current version of the theme (7.0.9)? This was changed to also show the meta on tablets in that release
Cheers
Great theme! Quick question – how does one disable the header from re-appearing when the user scrolls up?
Hey, thanks!
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
body[data-hhun="1"] #header-outer.detached {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
Perfect, thank you
I’m having a new issue now—when I enable my footer (including a google maps iframe of our location), my header has a strange gray area… See goo.gl/xMwjOm
Hey,
Have you tried to turn the footer reveal effect off to see if it helps?
Cheers
Hi, I’m not sure if this is something you can solve here without looking at the code but maybe you’re aware of the issue and can help out. I currently using the Touch Enabled & Spaced Image Gallery with 4 images in the gallery. I want each image to link to a separate custom link. I added each link in the box and hit Enter between each one (as indicated in the page builder). The weird thing is when I go to preview it instead of it linking to the pages the href=”” code is wrong. It’s actually taking the first letter of whatever is in the box and creating a link. So for example the first link starts with http…. So when I go to preview the code, the first image link is: href=”h” , the second image link is href=”t” , the third is href=”t”, and the fourth image link is href=”p” . Very weird. So it thinks the link is something like “www.mydomain.com/h”. Any ideas? Thanks
Hey,
Are you using the current version of the theme (7.0.9)? This issue should be fixed in that
Cheers
Is there a way to add Salient’s headers to Sensei pages?
Hey,
That would require some custom development as of now but i’ve noted the idea
Cheers
Hello, I think (pretty sure) your Salient theme hava a problem with WooCommerce layout….
Hey,
There’s no current known issues with Salient 7.0.9 and WooCommerce, previous ones do – could you please let me know specifically what you’re referring to and share your URL?
Cheers
Ok, I just update to 7.0.9 and look better. (On v2.0.8 the problem was on the Shop default page Woo, the row not show 100% width (only 50%)... ). Please let me comeback to you if i see other. Thanks a lot for great support!
Hi TN,
Is there a way to get the oval-round shaped buttons that are in the Agency demo? I’m using the Ascend demo, which have rectangle shaped buttons. Is there any custom CSS I can add to overwrite this or is there another way to solve this?
Thanks
Hey! There’s an option in the Salient options panel > general settings tab for the button styling
Cheers
Sent you an email, would you please check? thanks
Hey, will do
Cheers
anxiously hoping for a suggestion on why visual composer doesn’t work with latest versions… just upgraded the theme and zero action with pagebuilder view.
Hey,
The only version of Salient that is compatible with the latest WP is Salient 7.0.9, 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.
If you’re still experiencing issues with the page builder please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a further look https://themenectar.ticksy.com
so i have 7.0.9 but it keeps telling me that the VC version is 4.7.4 – even tho if i open the VC zip file in the salient 7.0.9 folder and check the changes.txt it SAYS its 4.11.2 – i have uploaded that zip directly to the server into the theme/plugins folder, and still in the “install required plugins” it says 4.7.4… after installing it, it still maintains it is v 4.7.4… so .. how do i get 4.11.2?
Please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can help out further as there’s no known issue like this https://themenectar.ticksy.com also kindly let me know the ticket ID here once you’ve done so
Hello there! Just a question about the header: is it possible to use revolution slider on transparent header background? Thanks in advance.
Hey,
Yes – after adding it you’ll need to use the “Force Transparency On Navigation” option available in the bottom of page header meta box
Cheers
I set up a site for a client.. For some reason the Nectar Slider is not responding correctly. I’ve loaded all the images and set several different locations.. when I embed the slider into a page, ALL of the images scroll through on all the locations.
Also, visual composer isn’t working correctly with the new update??
Hey,
The current version of Salient does not have a known issue like that – could you please share your URL in regards? Also are you using Salient VC 4.11.2? That’s the only version compatible with WP 4.5+
Cheers
The URL in question is http://mwkingcreative.com/portfolio/nike/. You’ll notice the slider has 16 slides.. it should have 3. If you check out other portfolio items you’ll see the same issue. In every case, it should obviously just be the images for that specific project.
As far as the version, I upgraded both WP and the theme thinking that was the cause of the issue and, unfortunately, it didn’t fix it. When I look at the plugins page, VC appears to be 4.6.2 but there are no updates available. WP is version 4.5.2.
Thanks for your help!
Has there been any progress in figuring out the issue with this?
Hey, Salient version 6.1.71 fixed this issue and the current version of the theme is 7.0.9 now – are you on Salient 6.1.71+? You can see your theme version number in the Salient options panel – from looking at your site it appears you may not be on a current release of the theme http://mwkingcreative.com/wp-content/themes/salient/style.css
