Hi I have read some comments and see that the theme doesn’t work well with earlier versions of IE – which I am not surprised about, but is it possible to create a version that is compatible with IE9, IE8, IE7, IE6 (maybe one of the themes works better with these? Unfortunately a lot of our customers in Asia prefer the older versions of IE for some reason) and when someone visits on one of these browsers I will redirect them to the compatible version?
Thanks,
Colum
Hey Colum, allowing Salient to work in IE8/7/6 would require custom development at this time
Thanks for the reply.
I have another question, is there a way to change the content width across the whole side not page by page?
Thanks
Hey, please share your current URL so I can see your settings to assist
Hi you can see the site here: dev.stratus.com
Its under development still: $tratus1
Hey – add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
.container, body[data-header-format="left-header"] .container, .woocommerce-tabs .full-width-content .tab-container, .nectar-recent-posts-slider .flickity-page-dots, #post-area.standard-minimal.full-width-content article.post .inner-wrap {
max-width: 1625px!important;
}
}
Hi when I add this it makes the content wider on a laptop and monitor but not on a phone, I have tried adding this:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) { body .container, body div.slider-nav { max-width: 90% !important; } }
This works on a phone but it makes the home page on a phone render incorrectly.
Can you please help?
Thanks
Hey,
If you set a px value for the max width it should work as expected
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
body .container.main-content {
max-width: 400px!important;
}
}
Cheers
Hi, is there a way to have nectar slider background video play only once?
Hey Meediamaailm,
As of now this would require some file modding – but i’ve noted your +1 for the idea 
Cheers
Hi, thanks again for this great theme ! How can I change the color of a text when hovering the icon on top of it ? The icon (size=large) already has an effect but I’d like to make changes on the text below it when hovering the block or the icon. Thanks !
Hey guissem,
As of now this wouldn’t be possible without adding a class to the column holding the icon to target it specifically.If you can add that class and then share your page URL I could provide the example css
Cheers
Hi,
Thanks for your answer. It works well even though I would have prefered to make the font bold only when the icon is hovered… Thanks anyway !
You’re welcome
Hi there, how can I put an image in the title of a tab ? I’ve tried to include a tag in the classic mode of Page Builder but it didn’t work. Here’s the page I should be able to do so : http://www.davincihealth.be/index.php/exercise-medicine/#row_exercise_medicine Thanks in advance !
Hey guissem,
this would need to be done with css – setting BG imgs on the items would be one way to accomplish it
.tabbed[data-style="minimal"] > ul li:nth-child(2) > a {
background-image: url('img.jpg');
background-position: left center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-left: 50px!important;
}
Cheers
Thanks, it works great ! But it’s not really dynamic and user friendly if my client wants to add tabs by himself… Anyway, it will do the job until a further update ! Thanks !
Hey, glad to hear it will work for you for now
Hey, awesome theme!
I have a question about the blog feature in the theme. As you can see in my link, I set up my blog for “masonry blog” however, would really like to have a small gap between the various blog posts so not so close together.
Url: http://cecilia.primesystems.dk/wp/
example of how i want it to look: http://preview.themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266
(I know it’s made with the portefolio function, but is it possible to the same thing with masonry blog?
Thank you
Hey CeciliaDemant,
You could use the following css in the Salient options panel however there’s no way to get the actual portfolio style for blog items or vice versa without custom development :
body .masonry.meta_overlaid .masonry-blog-item {
padding: 10px!important;
}
Cheers
Today I created an adsense banner link and included it on a widget to put in my website footer. However, the place is blank and not showing up. What am I doing wrong? The adsense banner is a small horizontal short banner
Hey epdallas,
Could you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look at the issue to assist?
Cheers
Hi. I have a problem with portfolio images – the center of image is sliding to the left side. Here you can see how it looks https://s30.postimg.org/qve7rc341/featured.png Those cups should be in the middle of an image, how do I do that? Also, how do I zoom out the images so the whole thing is seen in thumbnail? (Turn off cropping them)
Hey!
Could you please share your actual portfolio URL in regards so I can take a look at your current settings?
Hi. The URL is http://welt2.notre.lv/vifon/
Hello guys,
Is possible set a specific height for Nectar Slider on mobiles? Dou you have some CSS trick?
best regards
Hey mundocaco!
Could you share the URL where you’re using the Nectar Slider so I can take a look at the current settings?
Cheers
As a long time supporter and multi-purchase member I have always loved Salient above all other themes. But Google insights has become quite an obstacle (even using minify plugins and optimizers).
Google Insights has hit the theme pretty hard with it’s last (unannounced revisions for mobile) rule set, esp. with above the fold items. I was hitting 85+ on desktop and 75+ on mobile- these scores have dropped by 10+ pts >.<. Any plans to have the theme code revised/refined in the next version for better scores to appease the Google deities?
Update: I turned off non-essential plugins and ran the “Critcal CSS” to be minified, which improved the insight score, but that broke the site in the process.So I removed the Inline and Defer feature from Autoptimize.
I have ran the site through other speed tests(gtmetrix, pingdom,seocentro) and it is scoring pretty high, so it just makes scratch my head more. I know Wp is inherently heavier than a “hard-coded” site, especially with VC, but these insight scores can be a mystery more often than not. I find it so odd that Google gives all these font options, yet will penalize sites for using them. Their “logic” is mind numbing at most times.
Any help or future developments is greatly appreciated. (the guinea pig site in question is http://econolift.wpengine.com/)
Thanks in advance and, as always, looking forward to the next update!
Hey clixgroup!
Thanks for letting me know and the update on the situation – the next update will indeed be increasing the performance which will positively affect page speed scores – if you’d like access to the beta (which will be available soon) please open a ticket in regards and let me know the ticket ID here themenectar.ticksy.com/
Cheers
That’s awesome! #1004546 is the ticket number

Hey saudident, the next update will include it (which will be out in the near future)
Hello, I’m checking out your Portfolio with Sticky Sidebar here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio/blackbox/ but for some reason it’s not sticky for me. I checked with both latest versions of Google Chrome and Firefox.
Hey wonderjellybean,
Thanks for letting me know – the option most likely just got turned off during some of my updating/tweaking. I’ll change that back soon
Cheers
Hi Nectar – just wondering if Salient is affected by the PHPmail vulnerability everyone is talking about. Planning to update WP core as soon as it’s out. Thanks!
Hey hingedigital! Salient doesn’t include any mail functions in the core theme, it only supports and provides styling for form plugins
Hello, I have an old installation of Salient version 4.8.1 and I have 2 questions:
1) can I upgrade to a newer version without losing customizations? 2) currently in woocomerce category view the prices aren’t displayed on products. Is there a way to show them?
thanx in advace, George
Hey George,
1. As long as you have not modified the core files, you won’t lose anything when updating
2. That shouldn’t be the case http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/product-category/clothing/hoodies/ – perhaps this is being caused by using the outdated version with an updated WooCommerce
Cheers
How do I match the button sizes? (not all but some) More text makes wilder buttons obviously, but I’d like to make them with the same widths. thx
Hey Onemester,
This would require css – if you could share the URL where you’re trying to accomplish this I could provide an example snippet
Cheers
Hey! Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.nectar-button.large {
min-width: 220px;
}
Hi – I’m a newby in developing. Can anybody check if my css are correct? My site is pretty slow and godaddy support said that I might need to check that. Thank you before hand! : Here it is:

Hey Onemester, that amount of custom css wouldn’t effect your site speed – could you share your URL so I can take a look at the actual setup?
Cheers
All of the links in my off canvas navigation show duplicate links after I hover them. For example, FAQ goes to FAQFAQ after I hover it.
Also, it looks like this is happening only on Chrome. Edge appears to be fine.
Hey csandstedt, could you please share the URL in regards so I can take a look?
Cetainly. The URL is http://www.skewtlogpro.com/
Hey ThemeNectar, I love your work and your updates! I also really love the new Team Member Style via modal. It has one problem though – there is no way to close it on mobile devices. Hope there will be a fix any time soon Keep up the good work!
Hey raketenwerk! That is a confirmed issue that is going to be fixed in the upcoming update – it only effects iOS devices, android should still allow closing normally
Cheers

Hey BrightBoxBridie, did you have a specific question about the menu?
Cheers
Hi guys. is there a CSS snippet to hide the UI navigation arrows of the basic slider? And how do you control the speed from one slide to the next? Thanks!
Hey mikedubs!
1. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.flex-direction-nav a {
display: none!important;
}
2. To modify the actual speed you’d need to modify the init.js file in the js folder in regards
Cheers
THANK YOU!!!
You’re welcome
Hi, I have a feature request, please let me know how much you will charge for it. I am using video on the desktop and on mobile video is replaced by a single image. I want to have a slider on mobile instead of the video, is it possible. Please let me know the cost to implement it.
My website link is – spiegelsdecorativefinishes.com
Hey espiegels,
I’ve noted the idea for the wishlist but unfortunately I don’t personally offer paid customizations – for this you’d need to check Envato studio https://studio.envato.com/explore/wordpress-customization
Cheers
