Hi ThemeNectar!
Many thanks for another awesome update 
Great work!
One thing I ran into is in the Recent Posts element, when using Multiple Large Featured on a mobile device, the dark overlay seems to have a wrong z-index. Only the navigation-dots are working, and I can’t press the Read Article button.
Is this a known issue?
Thanks in advance!
Hey 0L4F, glad you’re enjoying it!
Could you kindly let me know what device you’re seeing this occur on? So far I haven’t be able to replicate it on an iPhone 6s / GS8
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar!
The overlay seems to be above the title and the ‘Read Article’ button.
I’m seeing this happen on a Sony Z3 in Chrome, on a GS7 in both Chrome and Samsung Internet, and in the Chrome inspector in device mode on my desktop. Look:

Hey, thanks for the further info – could you let me know if adding this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel fixes it for you?
.nectar-recent-posts-single_featured.multiple_featured .nectar-recent-post-slide .row-bg { z-index: 1; }
Hey ThemeNectar,
z-index: 1;
makes both the title and the ‘Read Article’ button disappear, but
z-index: 0;
fixes it for me on all the above devices. Yay! You rock!
Glad to hear!
Congrats on the update! Quick question which I hope can be answered here (My themenectar support license is finished.) When using Fullscreen Rows I always have problems with the google maps not being full screen. Here is a test example with a fresh new template from the update:
This page from the update: https://goo.gl/GvdA1Y
looks like this when using full screen rows: https://goo.gl/kN74KN
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks and again, great work on the update.
PS: Maybe you guys should make a “New” tab in the Salient Studios Templates so you can quickly see which new templates have been added to Salient Studios.
Short extra question. Is the “Hide On Device” setting broken in the “Responsive Options”?
As you can see here (https://goo.gl/NLG2i6) my first row/page should be hidden from desktop to only show on mobile but it still shows a blank page. Shouldn’t the entire page be gone from desktop?
Hey J0ERI
1. The full screen rows don’t stretch the content inside of the rows to be fullscreen automatically – by default they get centered vertically, but you can select to align the inner content to the top or bottom as well. Having a map element display as fullscreen itself would require custom development at this time
2. That option works by hiding the row with css, the fullscreen rows will still end up creating a section for it though since that’s done with JS, but i’ve noted to fix this shortly
Thanks for the quick reply!
1: All right, so map elements are not gonna work with full screen rows anytime soon? Or does it work when aligning the inner content to the top or bottom?
2: Does that mean you can hide entire rows on mobile or desktop in the next update? If not, is there another way to show mobile devices a specific mobile page only? Is there an easy way to do that?
Hi! Today I did a new clean install with the new version of your theme. But, I noticed I had some problem with plugins install:

Hey uDieeGO,
This is a known issue with WP 4.8+ and the TGM plugin activation script when installing more than 2 plugins at a time – until they release the next version which will sort this, you should be able to install them one at a time.
Cheers
I had a question regarding support of link scrolling from off canvas navigation. I have one pager website and all of my menu items are links and I also have the off canvas navigation. When I try to access any of the page section from my off canvas menu, nothing happens. The menu doesn’t close and it doesn’t take you to the right section. Wondering if it’s a feature that isn’t supported. Great theme! Loving every bit of it!
Hey gandiv,
Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look at your setup?
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar!
I am wondering if you can help me. Is there anyway to change the layout of the Bio Shows Fullscreen Modal pop-up. Presently the image takes up half the screen and the Biography itself takes up the other half. Is there any way to make the image less prominent, say a third of the full screen width and the biography to take up two thirds?
Thanks so much for any help!
Hey! Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel
body .nectar_team_member_overlay .team_member_details {
width: 66%;
}
body .nectar_team_member_overlay .team_member_picture {
width: 33%;
}
Cheers
Hi, when using Salient as an eCommerce platform, is it possible to ‘fill’ the stars on the product thumbnails on the shop page? In your demo the stars only have an outline relative to the average rating, but I’d like them to be filled — when they’re just outlined it looks like they have a 0 average rating. Is there a simple CSS way to do this? If not, where would I need to edit the font awesome icon being used (assuming that you are using the empty star font awesome icon) Thanks!
Hey happylinencompany!
Add this into the custom css box:
body .text_on_hover.product .star-rating span:before {
content: '\53\53\53\53\53'!important;
}
Cheers
Hi guys,
On the ‘Page Full Screen Rows’ setup, is it possible to change one of the background images of a row for mobile?
On a normal row, I can give the row an ID and then just specify a different background-image: in CSS just for mobile.. but in the Page Full Screen Rows I can’t work out the right DIV to override the CSS – any suggestions… thank you!
Hey,
It still can be achieved with custom id though the css is slightly different – instead of #your-id, it would start with div[data-fullscreen-anchor-id=”your-id”]
Cheers
OK, I’m still having trouble overriding it. I can see my changed background color briefly for a second, then the old background image appears over the top. My CSS is:
#nectar_fullscreen_rows[data-fullscreen-anchor-id="boards"] { background:#000!important; }
or I tried
div[data-fullscreen-anchor-id=”boards”] { background:#000!important; }
The ID of the row is ‘Boards’.
Hey Sean, could you please share your URL so I can see what’s going on better?
Cheers
Here is the page – http://bit.ly/2yKkxCV.
I’m wanting to change the second row which is #boards to another background image just for mobile <690px screens.
Hey, this should work for you
div[data-fullscreen-anchor-id="boards"] .row-bg {
background: #000!important;
}
ok that’s working now – thank you!
You’re welcome
Hey there,
Just something I wanted to make sure you’re aware of. When scrolling on the new ‘Blog Ultimate’ demo on iPad, it seems to do a lazy loading type of thing(?) where you see this big blue background before the page and the content loads in. Same thing when scrolling from the bottom to the top.
I’ll try and link to a screenshot here:
I first noticed this on my own site using the Material Masonry layout. Maybe this is intentional for performance reasons? But it seems like such a UX glitch that I have to assume it’s not.
Anyway, great theme, beautiful designs! I’m sure this will get patched out (if it is an actual issue and not the intended experience).
Sam
Hey Sam,
1. What version of iPad are you seeing this occur on? The first thing meant to be seen when loading a page should be the page transition screen (on that demo I’m referring to the white BG with loading spinner)
2. The off canvas menu background color should show above the header navigation and below the footer when “over scrolling” on apple mobile devices. By default those devices show the html color which is normally white, but when using the material theme skin style and the default off canvas nav, that nav is actually sitting behind the page content
Love the new demos! how do I copy some of the features to my existing site? such as the image with the wavey edge at the top here http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate-creative/ and the we blog too/contact us boxes here http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-business-2/
I don’t want to do a fresh import because it will mess up my existing site. any ways to import these demos to my wordpress backend without it affecting my site ?
Hey, that’s awesome to hear!
All the new demos are made up of sections available in the Salient Studio to add to any point in any page http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar,
My client purchased your theme and I’ve been hired for configuring the website. We’ve two questions-
1. How to add target=”_blank” in Necter slider button. The client wants that when we’ll click on the slider button, it’ll open in a new tab.
2. How integrate new font in the site, when we’re using the Salient theme?
Waiting for your answer…
Cheers, Mofizul
Hey Mofizul,
1. You can use the classes “external-button-1” and “external-button-2” in the extra class name for each slide
2. https://themenectar.ticksy.com/article/9773/

Hi. I’ve been using Salient on my site for quite a while, and I noticed a couple of weeks ago that scrolling suddenly stopped working on Chrome (I hadn’t changed the site in any way.) You can see this on https://www.respirando.net/music/. I’m using Chrome Version 61.0.3163.100 on a Mac. Thanks for your insight…
Hey bwoolley,
If you’ve verified that a third party plugin is not causing it, could you please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page with your admin credentials so I can see your setup closer? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Cheers
Hi – it was, in fact, a problem with Ultimate Addons, and they’re getting a patch ready. Meanwhile, I’ve disabled their smooth scroll, and all is well.
Hey, glad you found the culprit!

Hey zielakxar, glad you found what you were looking for

Hello,
First of all, I like the theme design vice a lot. However, there are somethings that need to be addressed in the upcoming updates.
1. I choose Header With Secondary Navigation. I create a menu for this Top Bar. I place the phone number and e-mail. With the help of support, I float those to the left. If I add other menu items like Home, Contact, Blog to this area, they float to left too. This does not look so great.
2. I choose Header With Secondary Navigation. I create a menu for this Top Bar. I place the phone number and e-mail. With the help of support, I float those to the left. If I enable the Social Icons in Header Navigation Panel, those icons are placed on the secondary navigation aka Top Bar. Why?
I hope there will be more improvement and new features related to the header.
Thanks again for your hard work.
Hey hatupen,
Thanks for the feature requests – can you share you URL in regards so I can see the current secondary header you have to assist?
Cheers
Hello,
Thanks for the response. Currently, I use the Top Navigation Menu Pull Right so I can have a button aligned to Right. With this setup, when I turn on Header With Secondary Navigation, social icons are placed on the left by default. So, I had to delete the css to float the phone and e-mail. So, now it looks neater. Though, now the shopping cart icon is placed on far right. It does not look so good on desktop. Ideally, I would like it to be next to the button on desktop.
Also, how can I show Woocommerce links to only logged in users? Do I need to use a plugin for this?
Thanks!
How can I set up a sticky sidebar on all pages?
Hey
This can’t be done automatically, but you could use the widgetized sidebar element in VC on any page to get that functionality
Cheers
Hi, Video settings on post does not work after the last update !
Hey Pixsite, are you referring to the single post video embed at the top under the post title?
Cheers
Hi, yes that’s it, it does not work for me anymore with the last verion (8.5) !
Hey, thanks for confirming – 8.5.1 will be fixing this tomorrow
Great,thank you
You’re welcome
Hi ThemeNectar, I still have the same problem on the single post video after the update (8.5.1)!
Hey Pixsite, can you verify that the option for “Hide Featured Image on Single Post” is off in your Salient options panel > blog tab
Hi ThemeNectar, That’s right, thank you very much
You’re welcome
Hi,
I am wondering if any of you could recommend a calendar plugin with using Salient that works best with the theme technically and aesthetically. The site is in development for an art gallery. I have seen EventOn and Calendarize it. I see that Calendarize it is compatible with wpbakery site builder but have you tested it?
Thanks in advance
Hey ikantia,
Unfortunately I don’t personally have a specific one to recommend, but if you’re encountering any styling issues with one, just let me know so I can take a look
Cheers
Hi! Love the theme. Question though:
My developers have the theme customized and looking great. However, I am trying to add a product page identical to the one in your demo: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce/product/mens-button-down/
How can I add a page like this? All of the products are currently deleted (during the setup/customization/stripping down). The site uses the child/parent theme if it helps.
Hey raijmanj,
That product demo uses the options ” Gallery slider with zoom on Hover” for the “Single Product Gallery Type” in the Salient options panel > woocommerce tab, and ” Fullwidth Under Images” for the “Product tab position”. The stuff below in the description tab was added using the page builder. You can use templates from the Salient studio to get something like it http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/
Cheers
The menu navigation is not responsive on a horizontal view on an ipad or tablet. It doesn’t switch to the hamburger menu, and the navigation just runs off screen. I have my responsiveness settings all turned on to allow Salient to calculate the typography sizes. What should I do?
Hey mcintalmcmaster,
you can easily sort this by choosing a greater value for your Header navigation > logo & general settings > Mobile Breakpoint option
Hey! Loving the new update. How do I create the slide out widget like on http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate-2/ ? I can’t find it in the settings.
Thx!
Glad to hear markbvv!
You must use the ”material” skin in the general settings tab of the Salient options panel and your off canvas navigation style must be on the default “slide out from right”. Note that the material skin was just added in 8.5.0Cheers
