Hi. I’m working on a site for a friend who is using the Salient theme. I’m basically building in placeholder content so they can do make their changes etc. So far the theme has been the best one I’ve worked with.
One issue I’m having: The logo in the nav doesn’t align when it changes from light to dark and is cutting off the bottom of the light logo — this only happens when the browser is small enough for Salient to load the small version of the logo.
I uploaded a place holder logo that’s in a rectangle and the bottom of the rectangle is being cropped when it switches from dark to light. Any ideas?
Hey A_K!
Could you please share your URL so I can take a quick look?
Cheers
It also seems like on Mobile the headings aren’t scaling down. Is there a setting that’s being missed on my end somewhere?
Hey,
1. Could you have your friend update to the current version of the theme?
2. Try adding this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel if you’d like to alter the h3 on mobile:
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
body h3, .row .col h3, .toggle h3 a, .ascend #respond h3, .ascend h3#comments, .woocommerce ul.products li.product.text_on_hover h3, .masonry.classic_enhanced .masonry-blog-item h3.title {
font-size: 20px;
line-height: 24px;
}
}
Cheers
Logo fixed after the update! Thanks! I put in the CSS and nothing changes. I’m getting a ! icon on line 2 though… Is something missing? Thank you so much.
Hey, could you let me bypass the maintenance page you have on currently so I can take a look?
Sorry! It’s now deactivated. The off canvas menu font is good — just getting the headings to scale responsively doesn’t seem to be working. Thanks again!
Maintenance page should be removed now — any idea on the heading scaling responsively?
Also, using a portfolio template, the page header image disappears on mobile — is there a way to have the header visible through all devices?
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
body h3, .row .col h3 {
font-size: 18px!important;
line-height: 22px!important;
}
}
Cheers
Thank you!
You;’re welcome 
I have added your theme to our website and it has greatly improved the appearance. I love this theme, but I am having one (small?) problem with my logo.
My son and I were able to read through the comments here and find out how to make the logo absolute positioned to extend below the menu bar on the desktop version of the site, since someone asked that question previously, but that does not happen on mobile. Instead, the entire logo is within the menu bar on mobile, making most of the page not visible.
Would you mind looking at my site to see what you can recommend for getting the logo to extend below the header for absolute position on mobile like it does on desktop?

Hey carolbwa,
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 1px) {
header#top, body #header-outer:not([data-permanent-transparent="1"]) {
height: 60px!important;
}
header#top .span_9>.slide-out-widget-area-toggle {
margin-top: -32px!important;
}
}
Cheers
Hey, i bouth your theme but don’t support other languages. How can i change language? For example: “not comment” > “yorum yok” OR “start typing…” > “ara”
And other one problem; Your theme css crush with together Formcraft3 plugin. Icons background crush. Try please, for example “email area text input” > icon background is very bad and don’t control.
Hey, i find new problem : Yottie youtube plugins lightbox system dont work good on your theme. Why?
Inline video is crush. Open same video two times. Lightbox and inline together play, very Bad it.
Try and fix please.
Hey sinayes,
Have you translated with the .po file and set your language accordingly in WordPress?
Please share the URL where you’re having the Yottie youtube plugins issue and the form issue so I can take a look

I am trying to edit my site, and I have the newest theme files and wordpress (not the new beta, the newest stable version 4.6.1) and for some reason the visual composer isn’t loading correctly, it looks like this screenshot: https://postimg.org/image/tcn0y7dhb/ and I can’t do any editing or move anything around or add anything new as it is messed up. The bottom section is showing a cut off text saying “Elements within this list are deprecated and are no longer supported in newer versions of Visual Composer.” as you can see here: https://postimg.org/image/55xrq1gxp/.
Any ideas what is going on? It has always worked fine until just yesterday.
Disregard this question, I think there was something wrong with the installation, I re-installed wordpress entirely and the theme and everything seems to be working now, I think visual composer didn’t install correctly the first time.
Hey Rkeefoverm,
Glad to hear you’ve sorted it – please let me know if anything else pops up
Cheers
Can thumbnails of the projects be displayed smaller? By factor 50% or 30% of the original size.
Hey vik_, could you share your portfolio URL so I can take a look at your current settings?
Cheers
When I create a new slider and publish it, and then go to the visual composer and add a nectar slider, only the demo slider shows the new slider does not show on the drop down list. any advice?
Hey Andrew,
I would need to log in to your set up to see as there’s no known issue like that in the theme. Please let me know your ticket ID https://themenectar.ticksy.com
PUBLIC TICKET #939277
me and my client was seeking header box layout for website for new themes, I make a concept for you to see, as I surfing the demo seem kind of difficult to get what we want, here take a look
https://i.imgur.com/0xnExj0.jpg
we are looking a themes that have this layout and sticky too, tq
Hey diden,
Unfortunately the boxed layout in Salient doesn’t offer a header style like that, it would require custom modding
Cheers
Hi I’m Henry, I have a question, this template -> http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/ They are offered when I buy regular license? I hope your answer, thank you.
Hey Henry
You get all the demos shown when you buy a regular license – just note that the demo pictures are replaced with placeholders when importing on your side
Cheers
Pre-sales question… Is the modern creative demo the best for showing tons of embedded video clips? thx in advance
Hey aterna13,
You can use video backgrounds on any demo you import, some of the demos offered in Salient just showcase more than others but there’s no restrictions on where you can use them
Cheers
Hi,
pre-purchase question: I’m looking to re-create something I’ve seen in particular. Is this theme able to have fade text animation on home page, and a fullscreen transparent vertical menu, something like this?: http://demo.massivedynamic.co/architecture/?demo=architectureHey huatah,
There’s no transparent sidebar menu, but there is a regular left menu option. There’s also many options to fade in text/columns within Salient
Cheers
Hi Guys,
With the full page rows section, is there are option to remove the contents dots and have the regular scroll bar instead?
Thanks
Hey 0754ben84,
There’s no option for that as the scrolling is hijacked with the current full page feature, however i’ve noted this idea
Cheers
I just noticed in the bottom right of the grid on your landing page there’s a ‘coming soon’ item listed for demos; is this something as part of an upcoming release?
Exciting – hope so
Hey ND81, the new release is in the review queue now – there’s two new demos
That item isn’t referring to an actual “coming soon” splash page feature though, if you were asking about that specifically. It’s stating that new demos will be coming soon
Cheers
Awesome look forward to seeing them! Thanks as always
It’s out now
This is looking fantastic! Love the left side menu layout
Cheers!
I am using the toggle panels and they look great. However, because there is quite a lot of text in each panel, when you click on the ”+” to move to the next one, the page goes to the bottom of the panel and you need to scroll back up to the top. This is not a major problem on a computer but is confusing on the smaller screen of a mobile device. Is there anything I can change that would force the panel to be at the top of the box when you open it? Thanks!
Hey macnikki,
Unfortunately this wouldn’t be possible without some custom modding at this time – the content withinthe toggle could be made smaller for mobile devices easily with css though if that would help
Cheers
I’m interested more in the topic, but the mobile does not work so fluid, especially in the iphone 5 It is expected to improve? thank you.
Hey ofmarconi,
Can you list specific issues you’re encountering and which demo you’re seeing them on?
Cheers
Yes, as you can see in print APP demo, the browser is superimposed on the text and bothers me that white bar, it would be possible to change it?
https://s18.postimg.org/8vwcne09l/Capture.jpgI would like to stay on the desktop without white bar and without overlapping the browser (perhaps turning it on menu … I do not know)
Hey, when you use the “Tooltip alt” style for the dot navigation it will be hidden on mobile by default http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-service/ – if you wanted it to be placed in the top menu instead you’d need to have that there on desktop as well as the navigation and turn off the dot navigation all together
Ok tks
I purchased theme, I will give an exploited the possibilities, thanks!
Cheers
Hi I’d like to use a combination of a couple of the themes in my site I have added the ‘App’ theme but it is not showing any of the dummy data… can you explain how I can get that dummy data to show?
Thanks
Hey PJSGroup,
The dummy data for the App should still be imported regardless of what you had previously imported, when in the pages section have you tried to do a search for “App Demo”?
Cheers
I am using the video Lightbox to show a vimeo promo video on a client’s site. The site is secured with https and when the user goes to play the video, it does not play.
The console is showing
“Mixed Content: The page at ‘https://projectsmilefc.org/?preview_id=2&preview_nonce=d4e18ff334&_thumbnail_id=-1&preview=true' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure resource ‘http://player.vimeo.com/video/170174023?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&autoplay=1;'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.”
My link video link is https but I am thinking the video Lightbox is stripping the https… Any thoughts?
NM… changed the theme lightbox and is working now… Cheers!
Hey BradyHawk! Glad to hear you’ve sorted it
Cheers
Hi guys, I am doing a site where I have content from certain pages loaded dynamically, and as a result my nectar slider is not starting. I would like to hear if you could help me with the way to re-initiate the slider with javascript?
What I mean is…the content of a page is loaded dynamically into another page on the same Wordpress page. When I do this with a nectar slider on the page, the nectar slider isn’t working. Could you help me identify, which JS needs to be re-init´ed or we need a way to re-initiate the slider with javascript?
Hey SeanAUS120,
You’d need to call the nectarSliderMainInit inside of the nectar-slider.js file
Cheers
Hi!
I have to build a site with two languages, the theme is compatible with WPML?
Hey AlessandraVanetti!
Many users do use the plugin, but we’re not on their list of compatible plugins yet
Cheers
Hello, I recently bought Salient and i’m verry happy with it, except with mobile and tablet. It’s very slow. It’s possible to have some custom code for the responsive. My site : freedomfilms-lesite.net.
thanks
Hey freedomfilms1,
You need to install a caching plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/ and a minfiication plugin such as bwo minify – this will reduce the load and increase performance
Also if you haven’t ran you images through an image optimizer, this one should work good for you https://wordpress.org/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/
Cheers
Thanks alot for your quick answer
You’re welcome
Hi, I want to have full screen team member page with a head on top. I have 6 people but unfortunately a lot of times it ends up having second row of team members cut in half. Is there a fix for that?
Hey RatioCreative,
Could you please share the URL in regards where I can see this issue?
Cheers
