What is the best way to set up the Social Buttons (which look like icons) like this on the example page!? It appears to to be a 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/2 Row? http://chrisgrenier.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/social-salient.png
Hey svtmuscle, the row holding those columns is set to full width content – you’ve guessed the column setup correctly. The social buttons VC element inside of the 1/2 column has the option turned on for “full width”. That’s what will give the spacing/size you’re looking for.
Is it possible to either move the existing CTA or place my own CTA (just a simple full page width bar I can do myself with VC) right below the main top image on the portfolio page?
https://suburbantours.com/portfolio/trip-to-new-orleans-tour/My client is asking to have a CTA here and I know this page is “pre-coded” but wondering if it’s possible. They want this done on 25 portfolio pages and rather than recreate the pages as non-portfolio pages so I can do whatever I want with them in VC, I was hoping I could just pop a CTA into the existing portfolio template. Thx!
Hey co50,
Unfortunately this would need to be added into the single-portfolio.php file – in that file, right before this:
<div class="container-wrap" data-nav-pos="<?php echo $single_nav_pos; ?>"> you'd have to place your markup Cheers</div>
hi there, im trying to add the facebook social plugins, i have tried the javascript in the head and also the iframe method and im struggling to get this to work, i have tried using “text” element and “raw html” elements and none of the facebook share will appear on the the site.
Hey CorvinusUK,
Please share a URL where you have the code entered and it’s not working so I can take a look.
Cheers
Under: Share our website and facebook page with your kiting buddies.
i have tried both iframe and HTML using raw html and text and neither is displaying
Thanks for sharing that, I’m seeing some partial code in the source – could you kindly paste the full snippet you’ve entered in there so I can take a look? Use this site so the comment area doesn’t break the formatting pastebin.com
I have tried both the iframe and the javascript SDK version in the RAW code and also text input fields, cant get it to load whatever i do.
Hello, Do you have a custom JS area just like the custom CSS in theme options ? I always work with it on other themes and it’s very useful but I can’t find it on SALIENT.
Thanks for your great theme and the work you put on it 
Hey Arkanite!
You can use the “Google Analytics” textarea for this – just remember to include script tags around your js code.
Cheers
Hi Guys,
Just wondering where I could find the options to change the font colour for sale ‘Now’ pricing? Or if there isn’t an option for this what the code would be?
Thanks
Hey 2squared,
add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
html .woocommerce span.onsale, .woocommerce-page span.onsale {
background-color: #000!important;
color: red!important;
}
Cheers
I wanted to use the sub-menu feature, but I can’t seem to find anywhere in VC the “Row ID” option so I can use anchor tags like in the Salient Corporate template. Can you steer me in the right direction?
I realize you’re super busy, any thoughts on this?
Hey andrewbrockenbush,
The option exists at the bottom of the VC edit modal when editing a VC row – http://imgur.com/a/pL480 if you’re not seeing that please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a further look https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Cheers
Is there a way I can set a maximum size to fonts on mobile? On desktop my fonts are ok, but on mobile they are too big to fit the screen.
Hey paolapasolini, could you please share your URL in regards? I’d be glad to assist
Cheers
Hi how would I go about installing a custom font (@font-face) to use on the front end? (Love the theme by the way!)
Hey!
have you looked into using a plugin such as this instead of manually doing it? https://wordpress.org/plugins/use-any-font/
The css for the font face could live in the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel though.
Cheers
Thanks for the reply – I’ve managed to work h1, h2.. and p, can you point me towards the css tags I should be looking for to change navigation and page header fonts?
Hey again, use these:
body header#top nav > ul > li > a
html body #page-header-bg h1, html body .row .col.section-title h1, .nectar-box-roll .overlaid-content h1
Hello I like this (Salient) theme; and am thinking of purchasing it. But I want to first confirm the following: 1) Can I create square thumbnails.. like here http://www.lionelsmit.co.za/catalogues/ .. and how did this person achieve this? As in, what feature did they use, ie. grid? Gallery ? 2) Also, on that homepage (http://www.lionelsmit.co.za/), is there a way to make it such that the white bar (with the logo and links at the top) is always visible.. ie not just after you scroll down as it is there..? That is NOT my site BTW.. just one that I like. Thanks
Hey theexpert1,
1. They’re using the image with animation shortcode in columns – however the image gallery could handle this as well
2. Yes, you can have the header navigation always visible if desired
Cheers
Very cool! Thanks!
You’re welcome
Hi ThemeNectar, your Theme is REALLY BEAUTIFUL and very elegant and cool! Really LOVING it! But pretty please.. I need some help – and hope I’m not asking too much! here goes:
1 I would like the layout of my single portfolio page to be more like this one: http://www.lionelsmit.co.za/portfolio/obscura-study-5-size-56-x-76-5cm-image-size-46-x-64/
NOTE how the share icons (on hover they show the actual social colours of those; and not just one uniform accent colour. They are also all immediately visible (ie not first hidden, then revealed from under the general share icon). I REALLY would prefer that.. ie – they way they are all immediately visible, please. How can these be done?
Also, importantly, the elements (ie the title, text and those share icons are on the right of the image, not on the top. I think that really works for me in that it leaving a nice clean, smaller gap at the top above the image – I guess the arrows and icon are fine where they are. At the moment this is what mine looks like http://www.orimoloye.com/portfolio/bosham-harbour/ (user name: themenectar PWD: salient 
just want to restrict access while I work on the site).
2. It seems like you can only add one portfolio image at a time? I have LOADS to do.. and was just wondering if there can be a faster way – but keeping the format as it is (not using gallery).
3. I would like the word “Portfolio” displayed on the portfolio index page(s) to read as “Gallery” – how/where do I edit this please?
Once again, please bear with me on this! This is a VERY cool theme indeed .. and I hope you can help me sort these few items out. Thank you VERY much and hope to hear from you real soon
thought I should post an illustration, so that you can really see what I am trying to describe – in point 1 above. See http://www.orimoloye.com/illustrate.jpg – the parts I really would like! 1) Title is not there – so the space up there is clean and smaller – it just works better for me
2) The title and details are moved here – I prefer this
3) Note the social share buttons are exposed – not hidden by default. I prefer this very much.
Hope I have not asked too much !
Hey,
1. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
#sidebar #project-meta ul li.meta-share-count .nectar-social a, .single [data-tab-pos="fullwidth"] #single-meta ul li.meta-share-count .nectar-social a {
left: 0!important;
opacity: 1!important;
}
#project-meta ul li.meta-share-count .nectar-social {
display: block!important;
opacity: 1!important;
left: 0!important;
}
#project-meta ul li > a {
display: none!important;
}
#sidebar div ul li:last-child {
display: none!important;
}
Moving the title wouldn’t be possible with css, you’d need to mod the single-portfolio.php file in regards.
2. If you want to use the masonry portfolio layout, each project needs to be created separately – if you just need a gallery you can use the image gallery element with the portfolio styling
3. You can change this from the Salient options panel > portfolio tab
Cheers
Thank you VERY much ThemeNectar
Please I need help on the following
1) "Meta below thumb w/ links on hover" - I want to remove title, date and love icon (ie the entire row) from below the thumbnail. Also, the links; 'View Larger' and 'More Details', how can I change their bg colour?
2) "Meta on hover + entire thumb link" - I want to be able to hide the Title and/or date that shows on hover.
3) "Meta from bottom on hover + entire thumb link" - I want to be able to hide the Title and/or date that shows on hover.One last question, How can I change the bg colour of the light box?
I am using Salient with the Ascend skin.Thank you so much in advance for your precious response!Hi, thanks for all your recent responses. I’ve been able to write some custom CSS to hide the meta underneath the thumbnails (when using “Meta below thumb w/ links on hover”). But the problem now as you can see from my link here(http://www.orimoloye.com/temp1/), there is now a space underneath – which I don’t really want. I want the interface to look more like this http://www.orimoloye.com/archive-90s/, which of course is done by selecting “Meta on hover + entire thumb link”. Note that the spacing is exactly the same on the sides and on the bottom. Please let me know what I can do to get rid of that space under the first one – so that the spacing can bee even all round. I will really appreciate this. Another thing I was wondering is, is it possible to change the colour of the navigation/info on the ‘div.pp_overlay’ the light box? I ask because I am considering making the div.pp_overlay a very light colour – so that the navigation/info on it can be clearly visible (against a light background), if that make’s sense.
Please, I also still need help on the following: 1) “Meta on hover + entire thumb link” – I want to be able to hide the Title and/or date that shows on hover. 2) “Meta from bottom on hover + entire thumb link” – I want to be able to hide the Title and/or date that shows on hover.
Thank you VERY much
Hey again
1. add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.portfolio-items .col .work-item {
margin-bottom: 0!important;
}
2.
.portfolio-items .col .work-item h3 {
display: none!important;
}
The date can be turned off in the Salient options panel > portfolio tab
Cheers
THANK YOU!
You’re welcome
Dear Themenectar Please have a look at this: This is One Category http://www.orimoloye.com/england-impressions-in-oil/ Note the order of the images. I have noticed that if you click “View Larger” and then use the previous and next links (i.e. in the light box overlay that opens), the order of the images is fine. But when using Previous and Next on the Single Portfolio Page (http://www.orimoloye.com/portfolio/clare-college-bridge-cambridge-2/), also open by clicking on “More Details” on each thumbnail, the order of the images is completely haphazard and something is clearly wrong. Please kindly help; how do I correct this? I have “Single Project Nav Arrows Limited To Same Category” checked in options already.
A second thing I had been curious about is the grid shortcut (i.e the four little boxes in the top left corner above the image) - the top two boxes are clean and crisp. But the lower two are slightly blurred. How can I correct this.. or where is this graphic stored? Thanks in advanceHey,
1. Are you using any plugins to handle the ordering of your items?
2. It’s not an image but rather a font icon added via font face – if you play with the font size you may be able to change the quality. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
body #portfolio-nav #all-items a i {
font-size: 314px!important;
}
Cheers
Hey, thanks a lot for your reply; I’m not using any plugins to order my items at all
Please open a ticket with your admin credentials and let me know the ticket ID here once you’ve done so so I can take a look https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Hi and Thanks! I have done so (Private Ticket #854743)
Hi,
I am using agency theme, I have a question about video visibility on mobile which is not showing when i see on my android and iphone both
here is one of the example: http://impfm.com/portfolio/dogs-out-of-this-world-tv-series/
if you will see this on desktop , you will observe a video of dog working fine but when i open it on my mobile, this is not showing
can you please suggest me a solution to this
Hey IMPFM,
Video backgrounds are disabled on mobile by default because autoplaying is not possible. The “Video Preview Image” will be shown instead so make sure you have one set
Cheers
Having issues with Google Maps saying that something went wrong and to look at my Javascript source… But I followed these troubleshooting steps from the author:
Hey,
The issue only applies to new domains where the maps script hasn’t been prior to June 22 of this year. This article explains it: https://www.latecnosfera.com/2016/06/google-maps-api-error-missing-keymap-error-solved.html If you’re on a current version of Salient you can add the key into the map.js file in the js folder. The line to mod should be near line 589 of the file -
$.getScript(‘https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&callback=mapAPI_Loaded');
will become
$.getScript(‘https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&key=APIKEYHERE&callback=mapAPI_Loaded');
The next update will add an input for users to add the key in the admin panel
Cheers
Hey iamjeffsmith, could you please share your URL in regards so I can see why adding that key didn’t work for you?
Cheers
I am adding team members to a page, and using two columns. Two members are displayed side by side. One member’s bio is longer than the other, so visually I would like to create spacing on the person with shorter bio so that the line at the end of the bio aligns with the line of the member with long bio. (I am using meta below style)
I have checked equal column heights box, also tried adding
tags for shorter bio, didn’t work. any other suggestions?
Hey geekdot,
Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can assist?
Cheers
Hi, i am looking to purchase this theme again for another site. I have one small questions.
Do you have a single page that outlines ALL of the panels / components available… so that you can view all options on one loooong page?
Hey oo7ml,
Unfortunately there is no such demo page – If you have a license for the theme already you should be able to download the current version to view the admin panel if you’re curious about anything specific
Cheers
Ok, i think a components page could sell this theme even further
Similar to bootstrap – http://getbootstrap.com/components/
I’ve noted it for the wishlist
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
Cheers
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+
