Hey thanks for a great theme!
I have a pair of questions:
1. How can I add a menu to the sticky sidebar of the project view? I have tried with the text editor through shortcodes, but I dont see that option
2. How can I put a color overlay in Page/Project header to make the title more legible?
Im guessing both things can be done with CSS, but I havent had lick with other posts in the comments. I appreciate the help!
Hey rsmsantiago!
1. What kind of menu are you referring to? You can have standard html anchor links in there if you desire
2. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.single-portfolio .page-header-bg-image:after {
display: block;
position: absolute;
content: ' ';
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
Cheers
Thanks for the help.
1. I was thinking of a menu that you can edit visually under Menu (like a widget), but if that’s not possible, anchor links will do it. Just a question, how can I remove the white space taken up by the Heart liking system that i removed in the sidebar here (and in any portfolio single page)? http://aboutdanapoint.com/portfolio/business-stories/ . Also, could you please help me put a full width box with a title within that sidebar at the top so that it looks like the one here? http://danapointtest.businesscatalyst.com/business-stories.html
2. This works perfectly for the portfolio pages! What would be the target to do the same thing in the regular Pages?
Once again, thanks for the help!
Hey again!
1. Add this into the css box:
#project-meta .project-sharing {
display: none!important;
}
2. You could change the snippet to:
.page-header-bg-image:after {
display: block;
position: absolute;
content: ' ';
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
Cheers
Please see here: http://www.stonemasons.co.za/shop/ – we have a shopping cart but when you go to checkout it does not remeber when you are logged in so it does not show the shipping method unless you type in the address, which you have to do everytime you add a new product? Any advice?
Hey gustav939,
Is this only happening when Salient is your active theme? If so please open a ticket in regards https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Hi,
Love the theme! I’m trying to edit the size of the author/vocation on the testimonials slider without much luck – any help?
Hey tahtikorpela, glad to hear 
I could assist with the css – could you share your URL so I can see your current settings?
Cheers
Sure thing, thank you! It’s stylesavvy.ie
I’m looking to make the font underneath the quote in the testimonial larger (name/job) – also, is there a way to create a border on the tabbed content shortcode? (stylesavvy.ie/stylesavvy-for-business)
Hey! Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
body .testimonial_slider[data-style="multiple_visible"] blockquote span.title {
font-size: 18px!important;
}
body .wpb_wrapper.tabbed {
border: 2px solid #000;
padding: 22px;
}
Cheers
Awesome!! Thankyou so much. I hope you don’t mind another question: when I open the site on mobile, it just comes up as code.. is there something really obvious I’m missing?!
Hey! Have you verified that no plugins you’re using is causing that? If you have something adding a mobile theme, thus disabling Salient, this would indeed occur
Cheers
Hi, great theme and features. Is it possible to add the slide caption to under the slide image using the nectar slider? I don’t want the caption text to overlay the image but just go underneath.
Thanks
Hey jsgilly20! There’s a “bottom” vertical positioning available in the slider – if you need it to go further down please share your URL so I can take a look and assist
Hi, I selected bottom and all it does is seem to slightly offset it down a little bit – but not to the bottom. Url I’m working on is http://new.tedtodd.co.uk – here is a picture of what I am trying to achieve – http://imgur.com/a/3ZpnE
Thanks!
Hey, add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
body .swiper-slide .content {
top: auto!important;
bottom: 10%!important;
}
.swiper-slide .container {
position: static!important;
}

Hi, since the last update of Woocommerce and Salient, I dont have any Proceed to checkout button anymore ! Any idea ? (I don’t use page transitions)
Hey Mat_,
Are you using Salient 7.0.9? That’s the only version that is compatible with the latest WooCommerce
Cheers
Hello. I am having trouble getting Visual Composer to work. I have the latest version of WP and Salient and have all of my Plugins deactivated.
Hey CJBergmen,
Is your Salient VC v4.11.2? If so please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Cheers
It says I have Salient 5.0. Not sure where to check to see specifically on the visual composer version
Hey again, the current Salient (v7.0.9) is the only version that includes the current VC which is compatible with WP 4.5+
Cheers
Hi!
Fantastic theme! Is it possible to get a new font awesome 4.6 version? its current ver 4.2. I need new icon set.
Thank u very much in advance!
Hey ahmetbintas!
It’s coming in the next release
Cheers
Hi, i’m downloading next release but not inculude new font awesome when u inculude new icon set from theme.
Thank u very much in advance!
Hey, sorry about that – it’ll definitely be in the upcoming release (about 2 weeks away)
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 :
http://cdn.elegantthemes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/navigation-inline-logo.jpgCheers
An other example :
http://www.pootlepress.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/011-e1397142920281.jpgHey,
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!
Cheers,
Ivan
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
Cheers
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

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
