If I use this Salient theme with W3 Total Cache the home page doesn’t appear properly, the slider doesn’t appear properly, the page is long and spread out, but if I disable W3 Total Cache it appears fine. This just affects the home page, other pages are fine. Any ideas?
Hey,
Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look at the issue further 
Cheers
You also have the minification option on within the plugin – if you turn that off and use a different plugin for minification such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/bwp-minify/ it should work normaly
Thank you very much for your help.
Cheers
My client purchased a lincence 10 minutes ago, we can not find where to activate the licence so we can update the theme??
I did not ASK where to find the licence code I know that – But where to activate the LICENCE in your THEME, I simply cant see anything about activating licence??
Salient doesn’t require you at activate a license inside of WP..If you’re using the Envato toolkit plugin to update you will need to enter it in there though http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/toolbox-of-the-smart-wordpress-developer-the-envato-wordpress-toolkit--cms-23883
Ooh my, what a detour
Hey My page http://cargo-group.pl/ is not loading before and after update of VC and whole theme. My admin said about a problem with js_composer_salient plugin and indeed – when I disable it, page works, but without visual effects.
Can you please help?
Theme 7.0.9 VC 4.11.2
Hey, please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at the page setup https://themenectar.ticksy.com and let me know the ticket ID here once you’ve done so

Hey there, I am liking the look of the theme, but I have one question before I buy, with regards to the icon elements, can I click them and have them link to pages ???
Hey,
You can link them using standard HTML anchor tags if desired
Cheers
Hello – How can I remove the filter for the portfolio so it wont show on the website? We only have apps to show, so filters are not necessary.
Hey,
If you’re using the portfolio visual composer element there’s an option when editing it to enable or disable sortable

Hi,
We’re having a problem with the carousel on Mobile. We created a carousel with images links. On desktop all works fine and the image link to the corresponding pages, however on iPad the image links are not working (and thus the pages can not be reached).
To see for yourself please check http://sanmarcobv.com/producten/
Is there any way to fix this? Looking forward to your reply!
Thanks
Hey!
Could you please let me know which iPad you’re using and also if you can replicate on this page: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce/shop/shop-carousel-example/
Cheers
I’m using an iPad Air 2. The functionality does work on the shop-carousel-example. We’re not using an ecommerce functionality, so we’re using the “normal” carousel (a simple carousel for any content). Any clues why it doesn’t work in our case?
Thanks!
This appears to be an issue with the standard carousel – Try adding this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.caroufredsel_wrapper img {
pointer-events: none;
}
Remember to clear your cache on your phone after adding that to check
Cheers
Well- I haven’t renewed support because my issue hasn’t been resolved for months. I hope you can help:
My website: homeschoolglobal-me.com/ryan
I’ve been wrestling with the nectar slider, type looks good on desktop, looks like shit on mobile phones.
I’ve been asking for a fix for I don’t know how long now. This site goes on 5 countries using 5 of your templates. If this still does not work I may have to ask for a refund and delete the templates.
Hey,
Please be more specific with how it’s looking bad to you – checking it out a mobile phone it appears the paragraph text is hidden providing a good amount of room for the heading http://i.imgur.com/TWVSVtA.png

Is it possible to remove TITLE and Portfolio DATA from Page with Masonry Portfolio?
This is the HTML code generated… How can I remove line with TAG H3 and P…?
<div class="col elastic-portfolio-item regular element beverage " data-project-cat="beverage " data-default-color="true" data-title-color="" data-subtitle-color="">
<div class="inner-wrap animated" data-animation="none">
<div class="work-item style-3-alt" data-custom-content="off" data-text-align="middle">
<img width="300" height="297" src="...." />
<div class="work-info-bg" />
<div class="work-info">
<a href="..............."></a>
<div class="vert-center">
<h3>Giovanni </h3>
<p>22 giugno 2016</p>
</div><!--/vert-center-->
</div>
</div><!--work-item-->
</div><!--/inner-wrap-->
</div><!--/col-->
Sorry for my english… I would like to remove “TITLE and Portfolio DATE” from NON custom content portfolio. I have tried to set class ”.vert-center” with “style display:none;” but in this case all BOX containing PORTFOLIO item appear without text over the background image…
Sorry but I can’t find correct PHP file to modify…
Thank You!
.vert-center > h3 {
display: none !important;
}
.vert-center > p {
display: none !important;
}
There is a better way?
Hey,
That css is fine – there is an option to disable the portfolio date in the Salient options panel but there’s no option to disable the title, therefore css would indeed be needed
Cheers
Hi there,
Nectar Slider is not appearing correctly for me at this time. I’m running 5.5.3 with version 4.5.3 of Wordpress. Are there compatibility issues with these two versions and do you have any suggestions?
http://www.thunderridgesd.com/Thanks, Alex
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.
Cheers
Hi,
I have 2 questions regarding the button options in the menu;
1: How can I make it the same style as the buttons on the rest of my page: http://www.51waysdemos.co.uk/petcheckers/
2: How can I make it say ‘Contact Us’ on the mobile menu instead of the call to action I’ve used?
Many thanks
Ben
Hey,
1. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
box-shadow: 0 -3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) inset;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 -3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) inset;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 -3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) inset;
2. This wouldn’t be possible without custom development as of now
Cheers
This doesn’t work?
Hey, sorry – it appears half of my snippet was cut off. Use this:
header#top nav > ul > li.button_solid_color > a:before, body #header-outer.transparent header#top nav > ul > li.button_solid_color > a:before {
border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
box-shadow: 0 -3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) inset;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 -3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) inset;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 -3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) inset;
}
Hi there,
Newbie question: how do I change the basic width of textboxes without making them look horrible on mobile?
So far, I’ve been going to Edit Text Box > Design Options > Margin L & R: 20%. This has given me the look I want on desktop, but on mobile it’s too narrow, now. On mobile, I want to the text box to be full-width, more or less!
Many thanks!
Hey!
Textboxes respond to the column width they’re in – one basic way to allow a smaller area on smaller and full width on mobile would be to use a setup like 1/4 + 1/2 + 1/4 for the columns where the text bock sites in the 1/2 and the 1/4s just remain empty
Cheers
Hello Again,
We are trying to make a custom category (archive) template which displays all the header images of the child categories. We are able to echo the titles, descriptions etc etc of the child categories in a loop but fall short on displaying the header images. Could you give us a direction to look at?
Hey, the function used to call the header images is nectar_page_header located in the functions.php – you can analyze that to see how the image gets called depending on the post type
A followup from ticket #803849
A previous employee made some modifications to the 3.1 version of the Salient theme but has since left the company and left no information on exactly what was changed. Now that we have the latest version, we’d like to make those same modifications on the new one…but first need to be able to compare the unmodified version of the 3.1 revision.
Is there any way to get the unmodified version of 3.1? Or can you recommend another way to examine the modified version of 3.1 we have and determine what was changed?
Hey! I can provide a copy of that version, i’ll respond on your ticket in regards
Excellent! Where can I locate that?
Hi ThemeNectar,
How could I go about changing the Text Color of the Call to Action Button. At the moment it is set to the Overall Font Color.
Hey, could you kindly share your url in regards so I can take a further look at the setup to assist?
Yep. Here it is http://dev.eudc.ro/despre-noi/
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
#call-to-action .container a, #call-to-action .container a:hover {
color: #000!important;
}
Does anyone else have this problem ? Visual composer just wouldn’t load ? I havn’t touch layout design for very long and just notice this problem. see this picture: http://prntscr.com/bjftap
It will show as loading but it will never be loaded
Even if you click add elements, and click on any elements, it will just stops there

Hi, I have a of question regarding the one page demo
In mobile view: is it possible to replace the “contact info / menu” with actual mobile navigation?
Hey,
Yes – you can choose to have a mobile nav if desired
Quick question RE the salient Visual composer. I prefer it over the stock visual composer, and had a question. Out of curiosity only, would the salient VC work on other websites that support VC?
Hey – it’s only meant for Salient, the actual display templates for the Salient specific elements reside in the theme itself. Therefore without Salient active the custom elements wouldn’t work properly
Cheers
I cannot for the life of me figure out why the width and primarily the header navigation area looks great width wise in all browsers except Safari. Using latest for windows, but mac users w latest finding same issue.
http://brightleafweb.com/tirpok/Notice when you go to other pages in the site, the overall width of everything seems to be way shorter. I can’t seem to get it to all be the same width in safari as it is in all other browsers.
I have taken out all css in general settings and per page. Changing it to a full width navigation does the nav trick for safari, but that in term makes it full width for chrome etc. Switching to boxed layout seems to widen things but I do not want a boxed layout Thanks!
looks like the body elements being restricted width wise was due to rows being set to Full Width as opposed to In Container. Still can’t figure out the header situation though
Hey,
Could you please share a screenshot showing the issue you’re talking about so I can verify i’m understanding correctly?
Cheers
Hi Nectar, have searched but not found an answer sorry. What is the best way to link each portfolio items title text (Visible upon rollover) to open a URL in a new window? Currently clicking anywhere opens the feature image of the portfolio item in a light box and I can not see any other options.
The second issue is I have my home page portfolio widget set to display 8 items though it will only display a max of 4.
Thank you very much!
Hey,
1. When editing your projects there’s a field for “External Project URL” in the project configuration metabox
2. Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look
Cheers
E-mail sent to you.
Edit The external project URL fields are filled though this does not change each item as they still just open a lightbox.
Have you had a chance to follow this up?
Hi, Have you any idea why my items aren’t linking to their URLs?
Hey – sorry for the delay,
When using the “lightbox only” option all items will load the lightbox image, you’d need to turn that off in order to have it work as expected for you. I’ve noted to change this though
Hi, you previously answered this query though I can’t find it.
Our Nectar slider has this option enabled “Add texture overlay to background If you would like a slight texture overlay on your background, activate this option.”
It is not visible on mobile. Where would I find the snippet of CSS you provided to fix this issue?
Refrence to comment by gehrkensit You answered & said to add: body .video-texture { display: block!important; }
This is done yet it still doesn’t display the texture on multiple mobile browsers
Could you kindly share the URL where you have the Nectar Slider so I can see why that wouldn’t be working for you?
Sure. Where is the best place to send it or can you delete these comments afterwards?
Hey, I could delete the comment afterwards or you could open a ticket in regards https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Ok thanks! [removed]
Hey, change the snippet to this
body .video-texture {
z-index: 11!important;
display: block !important;
}
Issue tested on mobile devices & resolved!! Thank you
Cheers:)
Hi there. We’re currently using the awesome Salient theme for a client’s website and stumbled across a small issue with another plugin: for downloads we’re using the WPDM plugin to enable email/mailchimp locks for the downloadable content. However, if we try to use their shortcodes with our blog, the WPDM popover is appearing below the other elements. The WPDM support said that this might be an issue with the theme in general (perhaps the visual composer?). Do you have an idea what could cause this problem and how we could fix it?
Please have a look at this screenshot for a better understanding: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hjzl1audmjig32x/blog_download_screenshot.png?dl=0
We can also grant you WP admin access if necessary.
Thank you very much in advance for your time and effort!
Cheers, Jan
Hey,
Please share the URL in regards – it appears to be a simple css issue
Cheers
Hey,
1) This would be the URL of the Blog page: http://picavi-wp.aix-cloud.de/blog/ The Download post is on the top left.
2) What is even more important to us: If we use the WPDM plugin on a single page (what we would like to use for downloads) there seems to be a conflict with the theme as well.
Have a look at this page: http://picavi-wp.aix-cloud.de/downloads/
Please have a look at the footer there. You are unable to add any new content – neither in the classical mode nor with the help of the salient visual composer – without having the footer cut off.
Currently I have used a “ ” to simulate a 3 column table in the first row, but only because there was a general conflict with the WPDM shortcodes and the visual composer (see the second row below). Maybe there is a fix so that we could include the shortcodes in the visual composer elements without interfering with the other page elements.
We would also be happy to grant you WP admin access if needed. Just drop us an email in case: jan@sparksupply.de
Thank you very much in advance! We are looking forward to your solution
Cheers, Jan
Oh, and sorry that is becomes a little bit messy now, but I just stumbled across a really minor 3.) issue on the website. If you go on the Blog page for example (see top comment) and look at the footer, the text in the “Kontakt” button should change to white on hover and not blue like the other footer elements. I tried to style it in the custom CSS section but it appears that the footer elements already have an !important hover effect so I’m not sure how to do it.
Again, thank you very much in advance! We are looking forward to your answers to our 3 issues
Cheers, Jan
Hey!
1. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.masonry-blog-item:hover {
z-index: 10000!important;
}
2. Currently on that url i’m only seeing the same z-index issue with the download box – could you provide a screenshot of what you’re referring to? Also as for the z-index issue add this into the custom css box as well
.wpb_row > .span_12, .col {
z-index: auto!important;
}
3.
#footer-outer a.smallButton:hover {
color: #FFF!important;
}
Cheers
Thank you very much for your answers! It helped us a lot.
Only one small issue remaining: Do you know why the screen scrolls up when you click on “Download” on one of the boxes? Would be great if we could disable the scrolling. Have a look here: http://picavi-wp.aix-cloud.de/download-example/
Cheers!
Hey,
try turning off the options for “One Page Scroll Support (Animated Anchor Links)” in the salient options panel > general settings > functionality tab
Cheers
Hi,
unfortunately we’re using the animated anchor links so just disabling it doesn’t work for us. Do you any other suggestions?
Thank you.
Hey again – If you’re needing to keep the animated anchors script on, fixing this would require some modding to the animated anchors function to exclude that selector as an exception in the init.js file
Okay, so could you give us some advice what exactly to do where? That would be awesome! Thank you.
Hey,
there’s a large selector in the init.js file that has all the excludes, http://pastebin.com/Ps5meLHB you’d need to add a new one in there that includes a selected targeted at your plugin link
Cheers
