Hi! How can I get the version 8? I can see the last update was on April 15 2017 but the woocommerce 3.0.3 just went out very recently. I want to buy the latest salient version buy I’m not sure if I’m getting it here.
Hey jfbrou,
Version 8.0.15 is current version of Salient available for download if you have a license of the theme
Cheers
Great theme! I’m trying to support a friend with his fiddleheadnursery.ca website.
On fiddleheadnursery.ca/plants, it shows all portfolio projects.
But the filters narrow down a bit more than i expect them too. For example, if i filter by Trees, i expect 11 results, but i only see 6.
Any help would be appreciated!
Hey fiddleheadnursery, the filters sort only the projects which are already loaded on the page – if you have more projects which are not loaded on the page, you’ll need to increase the projects per page option on your portfolio instance
Cheers
hi ThemeNectar, checkout the URL, fiddleheadnursery.ca/plants … you’ll see Pear is listed on the page. Then, we i filter down to “Trees” (of which Pear is one), it is missing.
From the Portfolio > Project Categories admin page i see there are 11 projects tagged with “Trees”, all of which appear on /plants. But when i filter down to “Trees”, i only see six results.
Hey, in your item “Mitsuba, Purple (Cryptotaenia japonica atropurpurea: 1′ high x 1′ wide / full sun to half shade / zone 4)” it appears that you have an unclosed italic tag
<i />this is causing the sorting issue
Wow, thanks so much for finding that. I’ve passed it on to my friend and he’s super pleased.
Glad I could help 
My shop is only displaying products in 2 columns. Can’t seem to find a way to fix this…
Hey RMWorks, could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look why that might be?
Cheers
Sure! Here’s my main shop page… https://www.threadnauts.com/shop-2/
Thanks! Could you kindly temporarily disable your css minification?
Done!
Thanks
Unfortunately that didn’t quite shed all the light that would be needed, could you reach out with your admin credentials via the contact form on my author page so I can check out the backend settings a bit? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks – have you modified the Salient functions.php file?
I’m seeing this in there:
function nectar_shop_loop_columns() {
return 4; // 3 products per row
}
when it should be
I’m seeing this in there:
function nectar_shop_loop_columns() {
return 3; // 3 products per row
}
Ahh, yes. Was trying to get 4 columns in the shop.
You fixed it! Thanks man!
You’re welcome
Best support ever. If you’re on the fence about buying this theme… BUY IT!
Thanks a lot for your kind words RMWorks!
Use of undefined constant NECTAR_THEMEN_NAME in functions.php on line 3307 & 3308. I assume it should be NECTAR_THEME_NAME
Hey In_balance, thanks for letting me know – it’ll be sorted in the next update
Cheers
No sweat. Thx for the great theme!

Hello, I’m editing the theme to add my custom functionalities and i found some minor issues with the theme:
I’m using the child theme functions to expand on your current ajax search without replacing most of the assets. Specifically, i’m using a custom wp-search-suggest.php file. Since the file is included in the parent theme functions.php using require_once, I had to modify line 1440 of the file:
if($ajax_search == 'yes' && $headerSearch != 'false' && !function_exists( 'myprefix_autocomplete_init' )){
require_once('nectar/assets/functions/ajax-search/wp-search-suggest.php');
}
to include the function_exists check. Do you think it’s possible to include this in the original functions.php file?
Another issue i found with the theme is that while the search window overlay is open, scrolling is not inhibited on the underlying page, resulting in issues with the header resizing or disappearing.
Hey,
1. I’ve noted to make that function child theme compatible in the next update
2. Thanks for noting – this should only be the case with the hide header until needed option, I’ve noted to sort this as well
Cheers
Hello,
How do I put a sidebar in the search page layout?
Hey, that layout will pull from the regular page widget area assigned from the Appearance > widgets section of the admin panel
Cheers
hello, I am deciding if to buy your theme. I read you have a lot of section templates already available within the page builder. Do you have them listed somewhere where I can see them in action? thank you
Hi
Is it possible to change the burger menu to say MENU instead?
Thanks
Hey Mikeoc, as of now this would require some custom modding but I’ve noted your +1 for the idea
Cheers
Hi TN. Very pleased with recent purchase of Salient! I am having a little trouble with Autoptimise with this theme though. My pages seem to load, but after about 70 seconds or so. This plugin seems to have an adverse affect on the time to first byte/connection to the server. I have tried using other themes like 2017 with this plugin and there is no issue. Do you have any config recomendations/idea of why this may be? Thanks
Hey Rory181!
Have you tried to use bwp minify instead? I had a guide for performance optimization here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/performance-optimization-guide/ though I can also say I’ve tested with autooptimize and have not seen that issue occur
Cheers
Yes, I have tried BWP minify with your specs. It seems to work with my staging site, but the live site breaks when the same setting are applied. My host is WP Engine, not sure if any gzip or cache is crossing over here.
Hey. could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on themenectar.ticksy.com/
Hello, how to use megamenu without column titles?
Hey, please see the documentation in regards http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/mega-menu/

Love the theme. I am trying to add the Facebook Page Feed Plugin to the widget area using a Text widget. Facebook says to add a code snippet to the header.php right after the tag. I did this and added the second code snippet to the widget. Is modifying the header.php code permitted with this theme and it’s okay if I add this after the < body> tag? Because I tried and nothing happened.
Hey hiveminddesign!
You can indeed modify the header.php, but you should do so in a child theme – there’s nothing that would prevent new scripts from showing after added. Could you share your URL so I can take a look?
Cheers
Pre-purchase question. I would like to use some Japanese fonts. Is there any way to install/use them through the theme? Thanks.
Hey kentaro414, Salient offers you full access to the Google font library – you can search their database here for any fonts that would suit your needs https://fonts.google.com/
Cheers
Thanks for your reply. But in the link you sent, I didn’t see Japanese language. Is there any other way I can use Japanese font through the theme?
Let’s say for example, I would like to use Japanese Google fonts, which was released recently. https://www.google.com/get/noto/help/cjk/ Can you include those newly released Google Noto fonts? https://www.google.com/get/noto/#sans-jpan or can you tell me how to apply the specific font in the Child theme or so? Thanks.
Hello! i need google analytics to track my tabs as pages.. so for that i need to show the #ID in the address bar. But when i click on a tab, the url doesn change.. and another thing, is it possible to insert the ID of the tab instead of randomly generate an ID? Thanks
Hey paulinavargasin!
Adding the tab id into the URL on click, the underlying javascript for it would need to be altered in the init.js file
Also, as of now it’s not possible to set the ID of the tab without a mod to visual composer
Cheers
Hi
How do i change the social media share button colours and social media icons background colours that open out on hover on the bottom right? The seem to only change to selected theme colours. Can i do colour change independently?
Also, will this be effected if i do theme updates?
thanks
Hey Mikeoc,
It could be accomplished in css alone that would persist through updates – kindly share your URL so I can provide an example for you
Cheers
Hey, add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
body .nectar-social-sharing-fixed .nectar-social a.facebook-share {
background-color: #000!important;
}
body .nectar-social-sharing-fixed .nectar-social a.google-plus-share {
background-color: #444!important;
}
body .nectar-social-sharing-fixed .nectar-social a.linkedin-share {
background-color: #888!important;
}
etc.
The colors would need to be changed to suit the ones you’d like to display
On the portfolio, is it possible to have the rollover show the title as well as click for lightbox and more details, all at the same time?
Hey RocketshipCreative,
This would require some modding as of now
Cheers
When using the Tabbed content with the Blog widget, only the first tab displays it properly and the other tabs just stack the blog posts one by one. Whats the fix for this?
Thanks.

Hey Millionsknives,
For a tabbed display like that you would need to use the recent posts element instead of an actual masonry blog
Cheers
Hello,
I love your theme, thank you!! Unfortunately I deleted the demo version and can not find now how to do this kind of photos of categories like on your home page http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce/
Anybody knows how to copy this kind of presentation – “menswear”, “casualwear”, which features should I use?
Regards,
Svetlana
Hey Svetlana, glad to hear you’re enjoying it

Hi,
We use this theme for a client of ours, but when we install a plugin like layered pop-op or ninja-popups the page builder wouldn’t load anymore… How can this be fixed?

Hi Salient,
The lightboxes on our portfolio appear to be in incorrect size, as there is a white space under each video. You can check it here:

Hey okstudios,
Try switching your theme lightbox from prettyPhoto to magnific in the Salient options panel > general settings > functionality tab
Cheers
Hi,
I am getting a serious lag/freeze issue with your version of VC. Whenever I edit ANY element or add something, it completely locks up and stalls. I am using the latest version of the theme and WordPress.I am also using the latest stable release of Chrome on a Windows 7 system. Any ideas? It is driving me insane now.
