Hello,
I’ve purchase this theme, and have a quick question.
Is there a way to create a static navigation menu (in other words, prevent the navigation menu from floating when the page is scrolled)?
Best,
Hey marlongichie,
You can use the “hide header until needed” effect for something similar. The option is available in the Salient options panel > header nav > animation effects tab
Cheers
Is there a way to make the padding consistent on the nectar buttons? I would like the all the buttons on the below page to be the same size square with the text centered in the box. Is this possible?
http://brian.aclz.org/livestream/Hey freshlyroastedweb, use this css 
body.page-id-6872 .col.dark .nectar-button.see-through, body.page-id-6872 .col.dark .nectar-button.see-through-2 {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
Cheers
not sure where the feedburner icon is for the top of the menu. i have it selected to show at the header and footer. it shows in the footer but not the header? https://www.theshatteredworld.com
Hey burmuss,
Could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at your settings? https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Cheers
my support has run out so i am unable to submit a ticket. i was hoping that this was an easy fix or something i may have been overlooking
Issue:
I upload an Archive Header Background Image but when i go to the archive url to check it. The changes do not take effect. I am not able to see the uploaded image.
I upload the image in the Salient settings Blog > Styling then click Save Changes. Nothing happens. Tried cleaning my browsers catch and cooking but still no luck!
I would also like to be able to put a custom background color in the back of the image.
Hey seseskiz,
Please open a ticket in regards so I can log in and take a further look for you https://themenectar.ticksy.com

I have flushed the catch and deactivated the plugins and reactivated and it worked. However, I still want to k now how do I add a custom background color to the Archive Headers?
Hey, add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.nectar-recent-post-slide .nectar-recent-post-bg:after, .single [data-post-hs="default_minimal"] .page-header-bg-image:after, .archive .page-header-bg-image:after {
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.3)!important;
}
Cheers
Did not work… This targets the recent posts as i can see from the codes first line.
I want to target the the category page.
Here is an example. http://preview.themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266?_ga=1.192304878.517049237.1473600069
In this category page I want to make the background under the image black, before the image loads it should show a black background and white text.
In my set-up if the image loads slow, it shows a white text on white background which is hard to read.
In the demo here there is a gray background which works fine. I want this same effect only the bg color black please.
http://imgur.com/a/bpcb0Hey, the snippet I provided was to change the overlay color which appears on both the page header for blog archives and the recent posts slider – which is what’s creating the grey on the demo. If you just want to set the BG color, use this:
#page-header-bg .page-header-bg-image {
background-color: #000!important;
}
I am sorry but this code did not work either.
Here is the heading… I still have white background and white text. http://imgur.com/a/qtdMNThis is the categories page. http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate/category/fashion/
Hey,
The snippet provided is correct if you’re supplying a BG image, if it’s not working for you I would need to see your URL to access why
Ok i see how I got confused. So you have to put the background image in order to activate the black bg color. When you take the image out it does not show the black bg. Thank you.
You’re welcome
I have two very small questions / issues.
1. I’m using a single page scroll. When I scroll down to the different sections (rows), the top navigation shows a line under the “home” button as well as the section I scroll down to.
2. I’m also using “toggle panels”. When I come to the page, the first one is open by default. AND, I’m unable to close all of them. One closes when the other opens, but I can’t close the one that’s open (without opening another panel).
2b. Is there a way to increaser the font size within the “panel” titles?
http://cafesan.cpdev.sudjam.com/#menuThanks!
Hey atplay2,
1. Try changing the URL you’ve entered from “http://cafesan.cpdev.sudjam.com/#home” to ”#home”
2a. Make sure you uncheck the box for allow collapsible all in the toggle settings http://imgur.com/a/fL8JO
2b. Change the style from “default” to “minimal”
Cheers
Everything works now. I still wonder if you can make the font size larger for the toggle menus while still using the “default” style. I like the boxed accordion look.
Otherwise, all is well.
Thank you!
Hey, you could – it would just require css
body .toggle h3 a {
font-size: 18px!important;
line-height: 18px!important;
}
Cheers
Is there a way to not show any dates at all on the blog posts?
Hey,
It would be possible via custom css – could you kindly share your URL so I can take a look at your current settings to assist?
Cheers
Thanks!
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
article.post .post-meta .date, .meta-date {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
It didn’t have any effect. I inserted it in the CSS options panel within the Salient section and it looks the same?
Hey, have you verified that you didn’t accidentally paste in the pre tags with the snippet?
Here’s a screenshot of what I copy and pasted and where https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B28MGk7zktXESTBMaWRTWk00MTg/view?usp=sharing
Hey, you need to remove lines 1 and 5 from that screenshot, the pre tags are not meant to be included
Ah I see ok cool thanks that worked!
Cheers
Hello,
I am very interested in purchasing your theme and I have a pre-sale question.
With Salient, is it possible to create a website that is similar to this example? http://us.battle.net/wow/en/legion/
The Legion page appears very similar to Salient’s new “Page Full Screen Rows” feature, but there are some differences:
1) Is it possible to enable the vertical Dot Navigation on the side of the page without enabling full-screen rows?
2) Is it possible to have the Dot Navigation be on the left side of the site?
3) Is it possible to add extra menu items to the Dot Navigation (social media links, game logo…etc)?
4) Is it possible to add custom icons/images for each Dot Navigation item?
5) Can a video/.gif be added to the background of a row (and autoplay on page load)? And is it possible to add text, images or other elements overlaid on top of the video?
If some of the features above are not available by default, can you tell me if they are just basic custom CSS changes, or would they require heavy modifications to core files and scripts?
Thanks!
Hey KyleGL!
1. The dot navigation require the use of fullscreen rows
2. Yes, via custom css
3/4. This would require custom modding as of now
5. Yes, video BGs are supported natively for row BGs
Again, incredible theme. Every update is better and better. Thanks.
Thanks so much for your kind words Rofe, really glad to hear you’re enjoying the theme
Cheers!
Hi there,
I’ve been trying to update Wordpress and my Salient theme and I’m having issues
When I update Salient it seems to be okay… however when I update Wordpress I seem to lose all of my styles, colours, fonts etc…. Is there a better way to do it, I’m not currently using a child theme but can I turn my theme into a child theme that im already using? Could you let me know how I can update and avoid these issues?
Hey ryanorlowski,
Updating WordPress should not cause any such issues, if there anyway you could share the URL where this is occurring or open a ticket in regards? https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Cheers
hi.. how are you? first let me say that this is a great theme..
can i change the slider to full screen just on mobile?
thanks.
Thanks innovuela!
As of now this would require either using two separate sliders (with css to hide the one not needed on desktop/mobile) or a general css override to remove the fullscreen height from taking effect on desktop
Cheers
Great themes. Any plans for a front page visual builder? Thanks
Thanks watsontan! It is indeed an item on the wishlist
plz help. Thanks!
Hey careyw, could you kindly try sharing the image URL again? I can’t seem to view that one
Cheers

border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
border-right: 1px solid #ddd;
}

width: 25%;
}
Hi!
Thanks… but the code is not working, see here http://newsite.coteriemedia.com/who-we-work-with/I need exact same look as http://beckmedia.com/clients ... i think we need to discard the gaps between the rows and columns also..there is gaps between the client boxes..and extra white area at right. I need 4 logos in a row with borders around them just like the example link.
Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks again!
Hi! Themenecter,
Plz let me know how to add the borders to clients logos just like this http://beckmedia.com/clients... asap..thanks!!
Hey, change the above snippet to be:
.clients.fade-in-animation > div {
border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
border-right: 1px solid #ddd;
}
body .clients.four-cols.no-carousel > div {
width: 25%;
margin: 0!important;
}
Hi! Themenecter,
Thanks so much! that worked nicely .. But….
1. the 4th box should not have the border at its right..how to hide the 4th box’s right border? see here http://newsite.coteriemedia.com/who-we-work-with/
2. can I use animated Gifs in the front/home page..do the sliders support this? I would like to have something similar to the following. http://coteriemedia.com/ http://tympanus.net/Development/AnimatedResponsiveImageGrid/index2.html
How can I do this with this theme? Any help will be appreciated!! Thanks in advance!
regards
Hey again!
1. Add this as well into the custom css box:
html body .clients.four-cols.no-carousel > div:nth-child(4n+4) {
border-right: 0!important;
}
2. Yes you can upload animated gifs to the Nectar Slider
Hi. I’m having trouble figuring out how to use “Image with hotspots”. It says “Choose your image that will show the hotspots. You can then click on the image in the preview area to add your hotspots in the desired locations.” But I can’t find the “preview area” where I add the actual hotspots to the image.
Is there a video tutorial?
Hey atplay2,
Are you using the latest Salient Visual Composer (4.12)? Older versions of VC won’t be able to show that element correctly
Cheers
Thanks! That was the issue. I had an old version of VC. It works well now.
This theme is amazing!
Cheers
I’ve been looking everywhere and tried to search through this support forum, but am unsure how to phrase my search. How does the menu text change color when the slider image changes on http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog/?
Nevermind, I figured it out
Hey httdev, glad to hear you’ve sorted it
Responsive menu issue
did not show my menu in mobile view in the latest version (4 August 16).
Hey nectarestudio,
please share your URL in regards so I can take a look
Cheers
Sorry, finaly, I can resolve the issue. Thanks
Hey, glad to hear you’ve sorted it
Hi, I am very upset at the quality of this theme. I imported the demo content and set it as my homepage but the margins/columns are all weird and the html text is showing you can see it here: http://zebo.io/ and an example here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ntc092i3g0ah2mk/tags%20acting%20funny%20everwhere.pptx?dl=0Doesn’t look anything like your demo!!!!
Please issue me a refund. Thanks
Hey nkhanani,
From the looks of your screenshot you just needed to install the Salient Visual Composer. Without installing the page builder, the shortcodes that are specific to it would not be able to parse. It looks like you’ve taken care of that now though so if you have any further questions kindly let me know
Cheers
Hi, I’m not sure if that was the issue. I just deleted and reinstalled the theme and it looked fine then. I am still a little stuck though. I’ve used another theme with a visual composer before and it would let me change font colors and styles. Here I can’t seem to change fonts or colors of text . For example I want to change the font style of the entire block of text and the color of the subheadings “effortless growth” and “Effortless ordering” but there is no font button or color picker in the visual editor. So I tried using tags but that doesn’t seem to be working either. font color= #27CCC0 which is the default accent font. see this link:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/516w78sc0vc6lfg/how%20to%20change%20color%20of%20font.pptx?dl=0also what are my font option and how do I vary font’s for different bodys of text?
Thanks
Hey,
The typography options are located in the Salient options panel > typography tab. For changing colors/heading in the text block please verify that you have the kitchen sink enabled, as that shows the color options and heading selects http://imgur.com/a/ITbaO
Hello, is there a way to remove the black semi transparent idle color from fancy box? Appreciate your support. Thanks
Hey
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.nectar-fancy-box .box-bg:after { display: none!important; }
Cheers
Thanks !
You’re welcome
Hello, is there a way to possibly align the navigation menu to the left after the logo, instead of the default right? Appreciate your suggestions.
Hey jeklit,
This option is coming in the next update
Cheers
Sure, any firm dates to the next update?
Nothing concrete, probably in about 1-2weeks
Hey,
Im having problems with the my sites “jetpack”. Its says the following :
“Your theme (Salient) contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files. These files may need updating to ensure they are compatible with the current version of WooCommerce. You can see which files are affected from the system status page. If in doubt, check with the author of the theme”
My website is not displaying properly because of it, and the jetpack does not work. How do I fix this problem.
Thanks
Edit : The the products on the right side of my website do not display. It is just a blank white screen. I don’t know if this is related to the jetpack not working. Please help me these issues.
Hey sandman101,
Are you using the current version of Salient (7.5.02)? If so, please share your URL in regards so I can take a further look
Cheers
Hey,
I just updated salient to 7.5.02, and the problem seems to be solved but now the social media icons are messed up. They are displaying vertically over the whole site. Cant seem to figure out how to get rid of them.

Hey, i’m currently not seeing that occur, have you tried to clear your cache since the update?
Is there a way to manipulate the portfolio hover options? If you look at the page here, http://brian.aclz.org/messages/ , you will see one portfolio option. Instead of the links showing when hovering, I would like to have a play button, something like fa-play-circle-o, to show on the hover. When clicked that link should take the user to the portfolio item. Is this possible? I would want this functionality for all my portfolio items. Thanks.
also, where do I change the of the portfolio pagination? I would like previous project and next project to say “Previous Message” and “Next Message”
Also, is there a way to link to a filtered portfolio? If you look at the page here, http://brian.aclz.org/messages/ , you will see three portfolio items. Two are under the category Parables. Is there a way to link directly to only the Parables items from an outside page? Essentially, is there a way to have http://brian.aclz.org/messages/#parables work?
Finally, is there a way to change the color of the dropdown filters on the page http://brian.aclz.org/messages/ ? I tried changing it in the portfolio option and it wasn’t working. Thanks!
Hey freshlyroastedweb,
1. This would require modding to the shortcode-processing.php file located in the nectar/tinymce directory as of now
2. This text is located in the functions.php in the project_single_controls function, however it could also be translated via the .po file without touching the code
3. You can link to single categories only through their archive pages as of now – you can access this via /project-type/project-cat on your URL e.g. http://brian.aclz.org/project-type/parables/
4. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel
body .portfolio-filters a, body .portfolio-filters #sort-portfolio {
background-color: #000!important;
}
Cheers
Awesome, thank you! I located the tnymce file and the shortcode but am unsure what to change to. Is this something you can share or is it too custom? If it is too custom, is there a way to remove “View Larger” option on the hover and change the text from “More Details” to Watch Message”? Thanks!
I was able to hide the “View Large”, now I just need to change the text of “More Details” to “Watch Message”
Hey, that line should be located in the same function echo ‘’.__(“More Details”, NECTAR_THEME_NAME).’’;
