Hey this is very awesome designed theme. Congratulations 
Thanks a lot Potenzaglobalsolutions!
Cheers 
Hello I thought this theme was responsive but please see what my blog and a single blog post look like on a mobile. Http://Zebo.io/blog
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/j5yglik20pi2jqe/AAAEhr7w7oBSQ3gLknAxxlD-a?dl=0Pictures of the horrendous nonresponsive-ness of the theme in the Dropbox folder
I’ve filed a ticket as well but response times are very slow on your tickets so hoping someone here can help me fix this!!!!
Here’s a list of issues
1. Menus are showing bottom and top and twice at the bottom and formatted weird with lots of highlighting, different colour backgrounds etc
2. Blog posts are listed against a black background and you can read anything
3. Single blog post background is a sick yellow
4. Single blog post formatig is terrible even though looks great on computer
5. Pic not loading
6. Lots of empty yellow space
Hey nkhanani,
From the looks of your screenshots the theme stylesheet is not loading on your device, which is causing all those issues. Could you please let me know your ticket ID here so I can check out the actual URL to see what’s going on further?

Hey Theme Nectar,
Is it possible to update salient via the envato market plugin or the Easy Theme Upgrades Plugin when the theme folder has been renamed? Or will it only work manually via FTP?
Cheers
Sam
Hey Sam,
I haven’t personally tested this scenario with the market plugin as of now, if you’ve renamed the Theme Name inside of the style.css file as well as the directory I suspect it would prevent auto updates with that method – the folder only potentially could still work
Cheers
Hi,
I have done many web searches and surprisingly found very little on this.
Love Salient and am wanting to make it my theme of choice for building websites, but the only concern I have is that you cant use Visual Composter Front End.
I came across one post that mentioned you can remove a line of code to allow the front end, but it did not mention what the negative of doing that would be. Will this break any of the code/layouts? Are there known bugs with doing this?
Also, if I purchase the Visual Composer Ultimate addon, is this fully compatible with Salient?
Being that Salients version of Visual Composer is highly customised, in the event that I wanted to activate another theme that is compatible with visual composer, would this work or is the container code different in some way?
Thanks and regards,
Hey rmgibbons01,
1. The front end editor is not available at this time, if you did enable it – not all of the Salient specific elements would work currently.
2. Ultimate Addons should work with the Salient VC as long as you’re on the current version
3. The only things that wouldn’t hold over in the event of changing themes with a different VC are the custom Salient specific elements
Cheers
Do you guys know when the next release is coming?
Hey ace2296, this week 
Cheers
You guys have a great theme here! I love it! Quick question: I am using woocommerce and woocommerce bookings. The bookings plugin adds a calendar and some stuff to the right-hand column that makes it a little long from your original design. I can use actions and filters to move the product short description to the left hand column after the thumbnails, but once I add an image, the description gets overrun by the image. Any hints you can help me out with? Possibly your customizations are re-writing that section or something? Thanks! URL: https://pachelitours.com/shop/molokai-and-west-maui-waterfalls/
Thanks natevolk!
A quick fix to balance it out would be to set the column widths equally like so:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
.woocommerce.single-product .span_5 { width: 49.5%!important; }
.woocommerce .single-product-summary { width: 48.5%!important; }
}
Cheers
Thank you so much, that is much better! I’d still like to move the short description at some point. Thank you for going above and beyond in your help! Every project I make in the future will be purchasing again and again!
Hi,
So this code https://imgur.com/a/cq49M does not work when your external URL has https, it only works when the url is http.
Here I have installed the demo on a temporary domain to show you. http://bd8.eba.myftpupload.com/portfolio-3-columns/ If you click on the Spacebound, the vimeo link is not opening a new window.
I am not new to php and I dont want to touch the code and mess it up. How do I add support to https?
Can you please provide an early fix? and will it be fixed in the upcoming update?
Thanks
Hey toolbox, this fix will be in the next update – if you’d like the beta please email me in regards via the contact form on my author page
Cheers
when I use the Nector Slider at full width the logo goes back to the default Salient logo. Why is this and how do i fix this?
Hey Damien_Enticott, that’s because you’ve created a setup that’s applicable for the transparent header to show, which uses a different set of light/dark logos. You may have imported a demo and missed the areas to swap those sample logos for your own. Please see the Salient options panel > header navigation > transparency tab in regards
Cheers
This question was asked a few years ago, but trying to slow down the animation in the Nectar slider fade option. I went to the JS file and changed it from 900 to 200 and 200 to 2000 and nothing seems to change it. Any other suggestions for this to work? Thanks!
Hey newgenesisweb,
The segment to change:
speed: 900,
Is the correct place to effect this – have you tried to clear your cache once altering?
Cheers
Just cleared my browser cache for the past week (the website was created yesterday) and still showing immediate transition when doing the fade option after setting it from 900 to 200. I went to Inspect this Element in Chrome and here’s what it shows for the transition time:background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); width: 1348px; height: 702px; top: -1px; transition-duration: 0ms;. If you would like to see the website I am working on, please let me know and I will be more than happy to share it with you.
Hey, I would indeed need to see the URL at this point to assist further
Cheers 
Hey, in order for the change to show you’d need to change the “Overall Style” to “Classic” from the currently selected “Directional Based Movement”
Cheers
If I change it to that it makes it a slide and does not offer an option for Fade which is what my client wants. Is it possible to have it operate as a fading slider instead of a slide based slider?
Btw, was just told by the client to push the website live, so the new URL is: http://susanmcpherson.com
When using classic there’s an option below towards the bottom for “Slider Transition” which offers the ability to fade, if that’s not working for you please let me know
Cheers
I originally had it set to Classic and then Fade and that’s when the slider was switching immediately and had a 0.0ms transition time between the slides. I have set the slider back to Classic and Fade so you can see what it does here: http://susanmcpherson.com. Also, the speed is set to 200: if($(this).attr(‘data-transition’) == ‘fade’ && $(this).attr(‘data-overall_style’) != ‘directional’ && $(this).attr(‘data-button-styling’) != ‘btn_with_preview’){
var progressVar = true;
var touchRatio = 1.3;
$sliderOptions = {
loop: $useLoop,
grabCursor: $grab,
touchRatio: touchRatio,
speed: 200,
pagination : $bullets,
simulateTouch: $desktopSwipe,
onSlideChangeEnd: captionTransition,
onTouchEnd: captionTransition,
onSlideChangeStart: onChangeStart,
onTouchMove: clearAutoplay,
onFirstInit: nectarInit,
progress: progressVar,
onProgressChange: function(swiper){
if($(swiper.container).parents('.nectar-slider-wrap').hasClass('loaded')) {
for (var i = 0; i < swiper.slides.length; i++){
var slide = swiper.slides[i];
var progress = slide.progress;
var translate = progress*swiper.width;
var opacity = 1 - Math.min(Math.abs(progress),1);
slide.style.opacity = opacity;
swiper.setTransform(slide,'translate3d('translate'px,0,0)');
}
}
},
Hello
I have been reading this article – http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/mega-menu/
Currently, I have megamenu columns-6, this works grand. What would I I like to know is if its possible to have another row below for another 6 columns?
Thanks!
Hey Gareth!
The closest you could get to this would be to place another header + set of items in each column using the Multiple Column Headers technique described in the same doc URL you pasted above. It’s the method the Salient promo demo uses for it’s multi row mega menu
Cheers
Hello, i have wpml installed to translate the pages, i have every addon installed that was required on the wpml support page but still it doesn´t recognize any of the strings on your custom version of visual composer. How can i translate the pages using wpml? Thank you
Hey mixlife,
What version of the theme are you using? There’s no such known issue currently. Have you already opened a ticket in regards with your URL/Admin credentials so we can take a further look?
Cheers
Hello,
Is it possible to use a transparent header with something other than a Page Header or a Nectar slider?
For example, use the top row of our page (visual composer row) and have the header overlaid on it?
Thank you
Hey ravenswoodmedia, yes – you can force transparency on any page with the option labeled “Force Transparency On Navigation” available in every edit page screen at the bottom.
Cheers
Hi Guys. Thank you, of course, I’d forgotten this. It throws up a new question though – setting background image of this row. In regular Visual Composer, a top level Row has the tab “Design Options”. In here, you would normally set the background image but also importantly the behaviour (Cover/Contain/Repeat). With Salient’s version of VC, this tab doesn’t exist (replaced by the Color Overlay tab). And the only image control option given in “General” row settings is Position and Repeat. So how do we control this behaviour from within Salient’s version of VC? Thank you.
Hi Guys, would really appreciate some help with this question, it’s holding us up. Thanks very much.
Hey, this is because Salient had it’s own way of setting background properties before VC was integrated, while it’s true that it’s still missing some of the options the raw VC does, as of now it would require custom css. However I’ve noted the +1 for this on the wishlist. If you need help setting any rows to contain let me know
Hello, yes, please we definitely do!
Just share the URL where you’re trying to achieve this 
Hello. I’m trying to edit the CSS for the List Items in the footer. I want to override the various border CSS things you’ve input. I’ve managed to remove a chunk of the !important tags in the style.css. However, you’ve put some inline styling, specifically:
footer-outer #footer-widgets .col ul li {border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1) !important}.
Where is this (the inline stylesheet) generated from? How can I access it/remove that line of code? Thanks.
Hey yuongmic,
That internal css is dynamically generated in the colors.php file located in the css directory
Cheers
Hello Team ThemeNactor…!!
Awesome work guys ..Fantastic Stuff…..!!...
I am working on a Site.. .and I feel Sailent theme matches all criteria.. I have a query thought..
Sailent demo ;- http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-product/#intro
I want to add a Animation Background on the landing page…. which is on JS..
Opensource Animation BG :- https://tympanus.net/Development/AnimatedHeaderBackgrounds/index3.html
Can it be done simply by including JS path in code base..
Thanks in Advance
MT
Thanks MT!
There’s custom css that would need to be added in as well – unfortunately I wouldn’t be able to assist in implementing this for you since it’s unrelated to Salient itself
Cheers
Hey J0ERI,
Kindly share your actual URL where this occurs so I can take a look at your setup as this is not a current know bug
Cheers
I changed it now. Thanks for the help though.
Hey, you’re welcome 
Hello,
Are you planning to bring Salient modals? 8 versions and any news about using built in modals. For example for Size Guiding, Easy contact info and other thousand different uses. Thanks.
Hey estudisimple, it’s still an item on the wishlist that will eventually make its way into the core
Cheers
I am dealing with a problem while inserting custom excerpts on gallery format posts with an image gallery set.
Whether I set a single featured image or not, it does not show as you can see here; instead, I wanted to achieve a result similar to the one the masonry fullwidth blog on the original demo showcases, what is possible if I do not write an excerpt, but this installation is completely dependent on that.
Also, I tested on another installation and it seems to confirm what I am saying (you can see it working fine without a custom excerpt while it simply did not display any image when the excerpt was written).
I am not sure if this an unknown problem that you will be working on future updates or if it is a common issue we are supposed to deal with, but I guess maybe some work on entry-gallery.php might work well (I just have not tried yet).
Hey JorgeAmVF,
I actually can’t replicate this issue on my end – can you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take closer look into the setup?
Cheers
Hello!
Unfortunately I am not supported anymore and I do not even know how to open a ticket nowadays nor if I am still able to do it while not being supported; I was kind of just reporting it as a bug because I had never noticed by never having used the gallery format till yesterday; anyway, if you still use your default Gmail address, I can send it by mail.
Otherwise, in this page you can see two approaches on gallery format displayed in a category page: the first one is set with written excerpt and the second one is without excerpt; both have featured images added, basic slider, full; the inside pages work perfectly unlike outside pages where, when there is an excerpt written, not even the featured image is displayed while without excerpt we also do not have the featured image, but we can get the image gallery being displayed; both work fine inside the pages they are in, the issue is visible in previous pages where they are delivered in a mansonry fullwidth style, for instance; I tested the other site I have access, and it sort of confirmed this pattern and this one does not have edited post formats like the other one.
Sorry whether my message was not clear enough and I hope it is easier to understand now; yesterday, I spent many hours trying to figured it out and I guess I may get it now: if I am not wrong, it seems the image gallery is not as easy to call elsewhere as a featured image and it looks like the entry-gallery.php uses custom functions and functions that fabricate it with the logic of inside a page, so, when they appear outside is because the page is being replicated, not specifically called, and, when an excerpt is written, there is no hook for to get the gallery precisely while autogenerated excerpts with a certain limitation might be the best configuration to use it without stumble across these problems.
My alternative here, without much knowledge about it, would be to try to bring the featured image with the excerpt at least and I will be working on that later today.
At the moment, with a simple: <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail();?> above the line 320 of entry-gallery.php is working fine.
If there was a simple way to override the featured image by the image gallery itself, maybe, it could be easy to solve it; wp_get_attachment_image is somehow harder to configurate and I still have not figured out how to bring it in the place of the featured image by now.
Hello
I have 1 small issue and its regards to the menu on my ipad. I have a menu item in a button format, and a few other stuff enabled such as a off canvas, search, woocommerce etc. but my menu item is overlapping on my ipad in landscape over the search icon. Is there a way this could be fixed? it’s only on tablet in landscape form
thanks!

Hey!
Yes – in the Salient options panel > Header navigation tab you can use the “Mobile Breakpoint” field to customize when your mobile nav will kick in
Cheers
Hi, i have something weard. a phonenumber on the page wont show up on mobile. what to do about it? See this link : http://de4dimensies.nl/#contact I already renew the line and use some text instead of the numbers and that works. But try the numbers again and they dont show (only on mobile) It will be great if you can help me. Thanks!
Dorothea
Hey Dorothea! This is occurring because on mobile devices phone numbers automatically get wrapped in links and the link color (inherits from accent color) on your setup is set to the same color as the background on that page. To fix it, add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.page-id-551 .nectar-fancy-ul a { color: #fff!important; }
Cheers
THank u ! i tried but it won’t work.
i have the same problem with my own new site. but i guess that the page-id would be different then? see: www.webdesignstaaijstudio.nl/#contact
