Hi guys,
Quick question.
Is it possible to have the social media icons in the main navigation (I think I saw someone else ask this, for you to say that it would be coming in the next update, i cannot see this yet though)
Thanks
Hey,
It still is coming in the next feature based update (which will be out very soon) – the updates that have come out since I initially made that response have been bugfix only 
Cheers
Is there a temporary fix for this until the feature is live? http://www.joshuasimons.co.uk
Hey, unfortunately not without modding the header.php file
Hi,
I’ve just installed the latest version, but Salient panel is not showing anything. I have to click the Classic version to see the content of the page. Normally, when I updated the Salient Visual Composer, the problem would be solved, but this time, it was no good. Do you have any idea how to fix this?
Best, Furkan
Hey Furkan,
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,
You were right. However, I had to uninstall the previous version before installing the new one. Clicking update from Themes > Install Plugins doesn’t work.
Best, Furkan
Glad you got it sorted
Logo inside the top navigation menu?
Hi guys,
Is this possible? I like to use it on a website for a client and I was wondering if we can make this?
Thank you!
Ivan
Hey Ivan
Are you referring to adding it into a regular submenu or the off canvas navigation menu?
Cheers
Something like this for example :

An other example :

That option is coming in the next update – it will be out in a few days
Cheers
You are the best! Theme Nectar and Salient Rocks the world!

Last question: I don’t want a top level navigation. So, when the site if viewed on desktop/laptop, the logo is centered. But, on a smartphone, the empty hamper appears. How do I maintain the centered logo without the hamburger on mobile? www.joshua-butler.com Thanks!
hamper means hamburger
Hey joshuabbutler!
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 1px) {
body header#top #toggle-nav {
display: none!important;
}
header#top #logo img {
display: inline-block;
}
body header#top .col.span_3 {
width: 100%!important;
}
}
Cheers
Cool really appreciate it. Doesn’t seem to work though. Just really not sure if I want the top nav. I like the logo centered.
Hey, have you removed the css? Currently i’m not seeing it applied to your site
It should be there. I re-added it, but the hamburger icon remains and the logo isn’t centered.
Hey, you need to remove the pre tags that got pasted into your css box when you added the snippet
hmmm… still doesn’t seem to work. Maybe I should just have top nav. was going to use the slide up nav instead. But, the reason I didn’t want the top right nav was because I could get even spacing to the left, top and bottom of the logo. I’ll have to think on it. Thanks!
Interesting – well let me know if you still want to proceed and I can take a further look
I think I would like to give a shot to having no hamburger icon on smartphone. If that is possible. I basically want a one pager site where I can use the slide up subnav for anchor points. Thanks, let me know.
Hey,
Could you please open a ticket in regards so I can take a further look why the snippet I provided didn’t take effect https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Does salient support wordpress 4.5.3 ? Because I experience error while installing.
Hey wlan888, yes 4.5.3 is indeed compatible. What is the error you’re receiving?
Cheers
Hi Great theme!
Can you tell me if the PSD files are available to purchase as well?
Hey LionDevelopment,
Unfortunately there’s no PSD’s included because there’s no images used in the design elements. If you needed a PSD for mocking up, a screenshot would be almost as useful.
Hi I am trying to remove the Left Padding on the Portfolio Item Name: http://chrisgrenier.com/portfolio/5163-vatican-ave-orlando-fl-32810-2/?preview_id=15091&preview_nonce=8e8ba0d240&preview=true
Here is the CSS I am currently using but does not seem to work 
.single-portfolio .row .col.section-title h1 { text-align: left; padding-left: 0; } .single-portfolio .row .col.section-title { padding-left: 0; .single .row .section-title { padding-left: 0!important; }
Hey svtmuscle,
Add this into the custom css box:
body .project-title .section-title {
padding: 0px!important;
}
Cheers
Didn’t work
Hey, i’m currently not seeing the css applied on your site – if you’d like me to assist further could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials? https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Hello, I noticed that the Visual Composer looks a little different than it does on their website. I’m guessing it’s because it’s bundled and designed specifically for the theme. I’m wondering if buying Visual Composer add-ons such as the following would be compatible with the theme and work within Visual Composer.
Thanks!
Hey jframstad1!
Addons will still work – however depending on the addon it’s possible theme styling could conflict. Just let me know if you run into any issues
Cheers
Any update on when we can expect vimeo/youtube hosted background videos? Only having a self hosted option is seriously affecting site load time. Getting a lot of complaints and will probably have to stop using the video… which was part of the reason we wanted to use Salient!
Hey, unfortunately there’s no ETA for this currently – how large is the video BG file size you’re using? If you could share your URL i’d be glad to take a look
Cheers
Hi
Is there any way to remove the dark overlay from the portfolio blocks on this page. I want the image to remain bright and then zoom when hovered over, or better still go slightly darker on hover and zoom

How to export and import portfolio items to new site, wp xml export not working with this, is it possible?
Hey kylo1989,
exporting the xml should allow the items to come through, are none getting imported into your new site or is the media just missing from the projects?
Cheers
hi,
I would like to have a theme this http://bwfbadminton.org/default.aspx http://bwfworldsuperseries.com/ You have the template ? I can customize or nearby?Thank you.
Hey keng007,
It would require custom development to achieve that layout
Cheers
Hi, my posts wont open when I click read more (or if I click the thumbnail) Thoughts? seaproductsdevelopment.com/news
Hey tbdsgn,

Cheers
Yes
Haven’t used other theme

Thank you for this amazing theme. I have a question regarding the Tabs section. Is it possible to open a specific tab via a link e.g. #section3 through linking to this section?
i.e. I have a section where I showcase 3 product types through tabs. I would like to be able to link to each of them via #. I hope that makes it clear.
Thank you

Hey borlinio!
You can do so by adding ?tab=your-tab-name onto the URL. Here’s an example http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate/?tab=imagine
Cheers
Hey!
That works great, thank you Is this also possible without reloading the page? I.e. when a user clicks on this link that the page keeps the scrolling effect of anchor point (#section1) but also opens the right tab in this section (I figure something like this: #section1?tab=tabsection1)?
Thank you in advance!
Hey, unfortunately this isn’t possible as of now without some custom development but i’ve noted the idea
I can’t find where to change the hover color of the recent post feed. I have a recent post feed for my blog showing the latest three posts and the hover color is white. I would like to change that hover color to something else as the recent posts sit on a white background so on the hover you lose the name. Is there a place to change that in the theme or some simple CSS I can add? Thanks.
Hey freshlyroastedweb,
Could you let me know which recent post style you’re using?
Cheers
Is there a way to change the color of the footer and header of the theme? In the header and footer section of the admin panel there’s no option to adjust colors in those sections.
Hey JayCarver,
Salient offers color pickers for both of those areas
In the Salient options panel > Header Navigation tab choose “custom” for your “Header color scheme” option.
In the Salient options panel > footer tab choose “on” for the “Custom color scheme”
Cheers
Hey,
So on my Nav Menu I have a “Shop” section, and under this section I have a sub category. In this sub category I have a 13 products, but only 12 products are displayed when you click on this sub category. There are not buttons at the bottom that allow you to goto no the next page to view more products.
How can I change how many items are viewed on a sub category.
Thanks
