Very nice theme, however I found a bug in this demo http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog/. When I view the demo on high resolution screen, the logo on menu is gone. It shows up on low resolution screen.
Also, if I toggle the right offscreen bar, close it, then click search button, it shows horizontal menu instead.
Hey dhnguyenit,
1. What is the resolution that you’re getting to occur? I haven’t been able to see the same on retina/regular desktop monitors
2. That bug has been fixed and will be included in the next release 
Cheers
this is happening over and over.. I put a layer or filer or overlap or whatever you call it for the background i update and its working.. It keeps going on and off as it pleases… can anyone explain this!! and how to solve it?? Simply when I open the editing page and I do preview and update then everything works fine.. I leave it for some days and I check again, then the filter is gone… What type of magic is that huh !!
Hey Andrew, I would need you to open a ticket in regards and list an exact section where this issue can be seen so I can try to replicate it https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Hi guys, Can you help me with some css to hide auhor, dates, category and comments on the homepage and top of the blog page BUT keep the share, category and comments section in the footer. As explained here: https://cl.ly/290A2J471x0Q.
I’ve looked through and have been able to hide most of it but in doing so lose the blog footer.
Thank you in advance!
Hey Leedr,
Add this into the custom css box:
.meta-category, .meta-author, .meta-comment-count, .avatar-post-info {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
Thank you, although that has also removed the category and comments from the base of the page. How can I get those back but hide the rest as you have already done? Image here: https://cl.ly/1q1F141Y2I06
Hi guys,
How do I increase the padding between the blog posts image and its title? I’m using Recent Posts, Style: Default blog on my homepage. Image here: https://cl.ly/2a1o3p2P2g1u
Thank you in advance
Hey,
change my above snippet to:
.blog-recent .meta-category, .blog-recent .meta-author, .blog-recent .meta-comment-count, #page-header-wrap .avatar-post-info { display: none!important; }
.blog-recent img { margin-bottom: 30px!important; }
Thank you for the blog page fix. However, the code: .blog-recent img { margin-bottom: 30px!important; } didn’t work.
How would I go about getting this padding to work and also being able to set the H size for the titles on the home page?
Please share your actual home page URL so I can see why that didn’t work for you
The website is currently has a password on it as its still being worked on. Do you have a private way of me telling you? An email address perhaps?

Hi there, Please can you update the new instagram icon, Please, also change the fontawesome2 system! Thanks!!!! Great Theme!!!!
Hey, it is indeed coming in the next release
Cheers
thanks!!!
You’re welcome
Hi, I am still working on with your theme and trying to understand its functions more.
I’m not sure if it’s firefox’s own error, but when I use gradient-text, it’s not shown due to the ‘-webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;’. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw44sI6vxNi0YVBOQVlPX043bXM/view?usp=sharing Is there anything I can deal with this problem? Thanks.Hey jinbonet,
This issue just appeared with a newer version of FF – i’ll be including the fix in the next release but could provide it early if you open a ticket in regards https://themenectar.ticksy.com – if you do please just let me know the ticket ID here once you’ve opened it
Cheers
Just FYI I found this bug on firefox! When you have slid out menu, and it slides back in, the menu is misaligned!
http://www.theline.agency/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/imageissue-1.jpgHey ladydekade!
Are you seeing this on the demo as well? Currently I don’t see a menu on your site to test
Cheers
Hi, i can’t find the way to override some responsive css which get printed directly in the html of the salient theme page. I need to change size of the nectar slider caption text but even if i write theme in the custom css code area they are overrid by some other css. Thanks.
Hey AZERO99,
The Nectar Slider has a tab for mobile text sizing which could handle this http://imgur.com/a/rFJWF
Cheers
Is it possible to change the full screen search that is brought up from the search icon in the header to a smaller search box?
Hey,
You could easily change the size of the search text with css, but changing the fullscreen into a regular search bar would require changing the theme skin from ascend to the original one in the Salient options panel
Cheers
No response on the Logo Not changing issue? There is something wrong with the theme. I did a clean install, and imported the agency demo. That was able to fix the logo not changing issue, until I had to re-import the demo, and the issue came back. Now I can’t update the logo graphic, to change it to anything other than the default Salient logo. Any help?
Hey artcny, please see my response to your previous comment in regards
Cheers
Nectar,
Is there are way to get add more hotspots per image than 4?
Thanks, Bobby
Hey Bobby, there’s no limit to how many you can add – if you’re having issues adding more than four please open a ticket in regards so I can take a look https://themenectar.ticksy.com
I’d like to make it so the logo/nav only appears at the top of the page and does not ever appear on when scroll. Currently, it keeps appearing on scroll and overlapping content. Checking “hide unless needed” makes it appear below the fold when I scroll slightly up, not what I want. Can you suggest a solution?
Hey JanetteA,
Enable the hide header until needed and then add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
body[data-hhun=”1”] #header-outer.detached { display: none!important; }
Cheers
Hey burmuss,
Have you also activated the transparent header option in the Salient options panel?
Cheers
I tried but it makes the header completely transparent. when i tried to control the opacity of the header it doesn’t work
i just tried this ode.
@media only screen and (min-width: 1001px) { html body #header-outer[data-transparent-header=”true”].transparent { background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5)!important; } }
so far it works
Glad to hear you found a workaround – let me know if you’d like me to take another look
Hello, i imported demo content of “App”. The problem is when i try to change the logo in settings but always appear the “salient” logo… What can i do? Thank You.
Hey eduolmeda,
if you’re using the transparent header option you need to change the ones uploaded in the transparency tab: http://imgur.com/a/dncRY

Hey! I just checked out the three new demos you have after the 7.5 release. They are completely amazing! You have raised the already high bar even higher!
I want to use some of the new features it looks like you have on an existing site I built earlier this year using your theme. I’m curious to know what the feature is called that inserts the “more info” tags over an image like you have used in the demo here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-product/#features
Also, please share any resource you know of explaining how to import a demo site into wordpress (that’s really the best way for me to learn how it works and I’m a bit rusty with that process). Can I import a demo site onto the existing site that I have (and just not link to any of the pages – only so I can see the new features on the back-end) or does it need to be a totally new site?
Looking forward to enhancing my site with that feature!
Thanks, Luke
Thanks Luke!
1. That feature is called the hotspot element and it’s available in visual composer – just make sure you’re using a current version of the Salient VC (4.12)
2. Salient 7.0+ has a demo importer tab in the Salient options panel However it will overwrite your theme options, therefore before doing it at least make to back up your current settings. Alternatively if you’re trying to import pages on a setup and don’t want to import the options settings as well, you could just import the xml file which are located in salient/nectar/redux-framework/extensions/wbc_importer
Cheers
1 follow up: How do I update the Salient Visual Composer? Unfortunately when I look at all my plugins I see some others that have an “update” link, but I see Salient VC is on V4.7 and the “update now” link at the bottom of the row is missing (see screenshot).
2A follow up: How do I back up the current theme settings? I want to be able to update my salient theme to the newest available, but I’m afraid about losing all the pages/styling I have already built on my site.
2B follow up: Could you please tell me where to locate the link you passed along (salient/nectar/redux-framework/extensions/wbc_importer)? I’m trying to import via xml file just a few pages because I want to see the behind the scenes on the demo so I can make similar designs, but I’m afraid of losing all the work/existing pages I’ve already created.
Thank you so much!!! Your theme is excellent and your support is even better.
Hey,
1. Have you tried to uninstall/delete your current version of the Salient Visual Composer plugin and then reinstall from the appearance > install plugins tab of your admin panel?
2. Click “Copy data” in the import/export tab of your Salient options panel http://imgur.com/a/cZH7y and save that in a text file somewhere you desire
3.The path listed in there is still accurate – the beginning of it, i.e. “salient/”, is the root of the theme
Cheers
I’m trying to update the theme now using the Envato Wordpress Toolkit, but when I’m about to confirm the update it’s telling me that I’ll lose any customizations I’ve made (see image: http://imgur.com/a/CptBf) – what customizations is it talking about? Obviously I want to make sure I don’t lose all my work to date!!! Thanks so much for the help.
Hey!
It’s referring to if you’ve edited the theme files directly – as long as you haven’t then nothing will be lost All theme options/site content will persist
Cheers
Hi,
Another issue:
When adding a nectar button inside a modal window, and the modal is activated – the button briefly appears on the page before opening the modal and displaying the modal content and button.
(Services page > Addons block > Self-Hosted Analytics)
It’s in exactly the same place on screen as it is in the modal, but displays by itself before opening the modal.
Also, mousing over the button causes the modal text to blur slightly.
Hey dessibob,
Please share the URL to the page so I can see what you’re referring to
Cheers
Love the theme, but my header isn’t designed to work in a responsive layout. How do I make mobile display a different header image?
Glad to hear kcochran111! As of now you can’t do this without some custom development to the header.php unfortunately
Okay, I’ll have a developer take a look. Another bug I’m having is a padding issue on some buttons. In Firefox, the padding isn’t recognized, so the boxes are only as high as my text. In Chrome & Safari, they look great.
Hey, could you kindly share a URL that shows this issue so I can take a look?
Cheers
Also, is there a way to add schema markup so that an image shows up when you post a link to Facebook? Noticed that isn’t working for my site.
Hey,
1. I currently can’t access your URL, can you verify it’s correct?
2. Yoast SEO offers open graph functionality https://yoast.com/social-media-optimization-with-wordpress-seo-by-yoast/
Cheers
Ah, Yoast, of course! Duh, thank you. Also, my developer was able to fix the Firefox padding issue. Apparently it didn’t like “5%” so we got rid of the percentage sign and changed it to pixels. Worked like a charm.
Hey, glad to hear you’ve sorted it – i’ve noted to look into this further
Hi,
Since the theme doesn’t support any animation on single page websites can you assist with having a static fixed background and a transparent transition to other pages and I’ll create all seperate physical pages. This would achieve a close-enough effect.
So the background is always visible and the new pages content only comes into view, with no abrupt colour as the change. Not sure if this is clear?
Hey dessibob,
The theme does support animations on single pages, fullscreen pages and regular pages as the demos show – please share a URL where the animated elements you have active are not animating when scrolled into view so I can take a look
www.customweb.co.za
Please disable your maintenance mode so I can see

All of your columns which have animations set are showing once scrolled to on that page – the one that won’t work with the full page row setup is the “animation block” element, this is not a Salient Visual Composer element and therefore can not react to the Salient specific feature full screen rows. Just set the animation on a Salient VC item (i.e. a column) http://imgur.com/a/2clDw and it will work
Hello TN,
I believe you were planning on releasing the a new version level a couple weeks ago – do you have an idea of when this update will come about?
Thanks!
Hey CrossLeaf!
Unfortunately, it got delayed – I decided to add more features 
It’ll probably be another 1-2 weeks
Cheers
Hello. Thanks for your response to my previous comment about the Nectar slider images blurring. I increased px of the image to 1400 and it looks great!! Still struggling to get just a few more things right though
My website is http://zebo.io
1. I’ve set minimum slider height to be 600 but it still shows very small on mobiles. In fact no matter what minimum height I do it stays the same, small height on mobiles.How do I get the height to actually increase?
Viewed on an iphone 6: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2xe748txu31ns1c/File%20Sep%2027%2C%201%2005%2045%20AM.png?dl=0
2. the main menu looks quite scary on mobile https://www.dropbox.com/s/pf61zcqnfkc0yze/File%20Sep%2027%2C%201%2006%2010%20AM.png?dl=02a. How do I change the background color from red? 2b, And why is the text so big? 2c. There should be some way to know when one menu items begins and the next ends e.g. its hard to tell How it works is 1single menu item and Get Zebo foryour business is another because it looks all clumped together in a paragraph
3. Finally, as you will in this picture the fonts of icon text suddenly change https://www.dropbox.com/s/pbu7zidqk4hm5te/fonts%20differ.PNG?dl=0 Targeted marketing, fraud check and simple pricing and are in a different font from the rest!!!! HELP!I am also going to submit this as a ticket incase you need my login details but would really appreciate a quick response time
Thanks
Hey nkhanani,
1. Please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on themenectar.ticksy.com/
2. The colors can be set in the Salient options panel > header navigation > general tab by selecting “Custom” for the “Header Color Scheme”. The size can be set in the Typography options tab with the “Off Canvas Navigation” field
3. From looking at the code on your page it appears you’ve wrapped them in “strong” tags instead of an “h4” like your others. When editing your element, switch into the text tab on the editor to change them back to h4s
Cheers
