Have been looking for a solution to this, but so far no success. I’m using a portfolio element and would like to have some of the items open in lightbox instead of going to the single project page. The effect would be a portfolio/gallery kind of mix.
Any chance of a quick solution to achieve this? Thanks!
Hey matsdev!
As of now the two couldn’t be mixed, unless you were using the default project style (meta below thumb with links on hover)
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar,
I’m really happy have purchased this great theme. Good job guys. I have a question. I’m not sure about this; I didn’t see different between “Centered Menu” & “Menu Left Aligned” in header layout. The main menu goes left align in both setting. I thought the main menu will be in the center of logo & right menu in “Centered Menu” setting.
Regards, Ody
Hey Ody!
Can you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look at why that would be the case for you?
Cheers
My website is still offline. But I created an illustration here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z0idmgyq8d2kgxm/Salient%20menu%20position.jpg?dl=0
Thanks so much, Ody

Hey canaplex!
It looks like the second X is coming from your third party plugin “divi builder” – if you deactivate that, it should go away 
Cheers
Oh thank you, it ’s so strange because i use only for one page my contact page .. Thank you
You’re welcome 
Hi. When using the “Basic Slider Style” gallery in a column and then setting the column to “Centered Content Alignment”, the next and previous image arrow buttons move to the right of the gallery. Looks like a bug. If I set Text alignment to “Centre” at row level it works fine without the arrow buttons moving. I’ve done what I need to but thought I’d mention the bug.
Hey wints77,
Thanks for letting me know 
Cheers
Since upgrading from a much older version, the lightbox no longer autoplays Vimeo videos. Also, after sorting by filter, clicking on a portfolio video now just directly links to the page instead of opening a lightbox. I’ve tried both the standard none script and the Magnific script. Any thoughts?—www.matt-macdonald.com
Hey,
1. Try to change this line in your salient/js/magnific.js file from:
//player.vimeo.com/video/%id%?autoplay=1
to this:
//player.vimeo.com/video/%id%&autoplay=1
2. This is a known issue with that specific project style + the lightbox only setting – if you switch to any other style it should work for the time being. However the fix will be included in the next release, but if you’d like it early just shoot me an email in regards
Cheers
Thank you! Exactly the right fix.
Glad to hear!
Hello! Finally I updated my blot into the Material skin. So far it looks nice, but I have a couple issues.
In the frontpage, the masonry elements showing the blog posts has a dark background, meanwhile the actual blog posts have a gap with no background. I cannot find the CSS element to remove the black border or background. Could you share the class to modify this? 
my site anizeen.com
Also, on the page settings, I setup a header background similar in height and width to the posts. In the post, the header image is resized and looks bigger. But in the page, the header is not resized, and the fonts’ style does not look similar. Hope this can be fixed in a future update.
Thanks!
Oh… now I found the Off Canvas links do not work properly, I have a tag cloud there and it only selects the last link, you cannot select any other link.
Hey myuption,
1. it seems that the dark BG on your home page is coming directly from the background color set on your row containing the blog element. If you’re not seeing that color set, please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look
2. Add this into the custom css box to fix the tags widget issue in your OCM
#slide-out-widget-area .tagcloud a:before { display: none!important; }
Amazing! Both solutions worked, thank you!
Only left thing is the header size and text in static pages to match the blog, Hope this can be done in the future.
Glad to hear 
Heya! Since the update, there is a bug where whenever you are editing anything on a page, it will automatically pull you down to the bottom of the screen when you do any action: delete an element, edit a text box/row/whatever. This is super annoying – any chance this will be fixed asap?
Hey,
This is a known issue with the old version of Visual Composer and WP 4.9 – WPBakery released a fix which Salient integrated a couple days ago. To get it, just update your version of Salient to the current release (8.5.3) and then update your Salient VC from the plugins section in your admin panel
Cheers
Hello! Salient is a godsend, and these discussions are so helpful. One thing I can’t quite figure out. I put recent blog posts into a carousel, and am trying to remove the preview text. I put this into the custom CSS:
.blog-recent.columns-1 p, .blog-recent .meta-author .post-meta{ display: none; }
And it successfully removed the preview text for half of the posts, but not the others. I can’t figure out why, or if there’s a better way to structure the layout. Thanks! See the page here:
http://www.affiliatedmonitors.com/Hey affiliatedmonitors!
If you upgrade your version of Salient to the current you’ll be able to target that selection of the recents posts for proper removal via a div
Cheers
Fantastic! Just successfully upgraded, but I’m not seeing the setting/div that targets the excerpt text in the recent posts. Sorry to be a pain!
The new css snippet to use is:
.blog-recent .excerpt { display: none; }
Cheers
Hey,
So Im having an issue with my eccommerce website. Im hosted my bluehost, and I had purchased an SSL certificate from them, and they notified me that it can not be fully activated because there is an insecure URL somewhere. They informed me that I should speak with the developer. I tried to locate and remove the URL myself with no success
The insecure URL is : http://www.varanno.com/speed/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/dummy.jpg
My website : varanno.com
I am hoping you guys can help me resolve this issue.
Thank you
Hey, can you verify that you don’t have that set in the Salient options panel > page transitions tab in the “Custom Loading Image” field?
Cheers
Hey,
just checked, and there is no image present in the “custom loading image” field so it must be somewhere else
Also, my website is very buggy right now, and is not displaying properly. My host has insured me that it is not an issue on their end. Can you please have a look and see what the issue is.
1. Please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page with your admin credentials so I can take a look at your settings to see where the image has been uploaded from https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
2. None of your site assets (css/js) are loading because all are showing as Failed to load resource: net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE – you can see this in your browser console
okay, i have sent you my login credentials, please have a look.
Thank you
Hey, I havent heard from you guys yet, are you guys working to resolve the issue. I see that my website is still having issues.
Hey sandman101, I responded earlier today in regards
Hey, Thank you for your help
It is very much appreciated
Cheers !
You’re welcome 
HI,
I dont know if this is a bug or not but the Yelp Icon does not show inside the side menu, it only shows in the footer.
Hey, thanks for letting me know – it’ll be sorted in the next release 
Cheers
I’ve updated to 8.5.2 & VC 5.2.3 – same problem as ECDJ (line breaks gone everytime I save a page).
I’ve purged my cache a few times to make sure thats not the problem.
Hey chrisglubish,
The current version of the Salient VC (5.2.4) sorts this. You’ll have access to the update once you update Salient to 8.5.3
Cheers
Thx, that did the trick.
Glad to hear!
Since I installed WordPress 4.9 I have a problem with line breaks, it seems the Visual Composer totally ignores them. Everytime I add them to a text module, or a text module in a Carrousel, they dissapear after saving the page?
I’m on Visual Composer 5.2.3.
Hey ecdj,
The current version of the Salient VC (5.2.4) sorts this. You’ll have access to the update once you update Salient to 8.5.3
Cheers
Hi i have a problem
i have wp version 4.9 installed and Salient 8.5.2
in the admin the Saleint panel is empty i cant klick anything
Greetings J
Hey J, if you’ve verified that this isn’t being caused by a third party plugin conflict, please reach out in regards with your admin credentials via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Hi Guys! Is there a CSS snippet to change the fancy box text link from uppercase to lowercase? Thanks!
Hey mikedubs, could you kindly share your URL so I can see your fancy box settings to assist?
Cheers!
of course! studiokhroma.com
Use this 
body .nectar-fancy-box .link-text {
text-transform: inherit;
}
perfect! thank you so much! which H level is the link text pulling from? Is that H5? Curious so I can adjust the letter spacing and font weight.
That specific text in that style of the fancy box isn’t using an H tag, there isn’t direct control available over it other than the body text typography option at this time
Cheers 
Understood. Much Thanks Again!
You’re welcome 
I just installed your new update and it has completely ruined my website styling
Full width content doesn’t seem to work any more. And typography styles don’t seem to work anymore. Please help as my clients not happy and I need to resolve this ASAP. It’s certainly a bit disappointing 
Hey prabhangshu,
Since there’s no known issue like that, have you verified the problem isn’t being caused by something as simple as needed to regenerate your options stylesheet? http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/#troubleshooting
If that’s not the case please share your URL
Cheers
Hi Mate, This is a real issue. The update has nearly wrecked my fully functional site. Fonts changed, Colours changed, Full width content breaking with a white gap on the right. Lucky I had a back up and as I had to move to an old version which was working perfectly.
Hey, as I mentioned since this isn’t a known issue that I can replicate on my end I would need to see the site to examine what’s going on – could you provide a staging URL if you’ve already removed the current release from your site?
Cheers
Actually, Just checked out the style sheet option and by un checking it the site works fine. However the moment I check it the website breaks. Not sure why this is happening as in the older versions it worked fine.
Also enable parallax BG does not working on Firefox anymore.
1. Have you ensured that the file permissions to write on dynamic-combined.css are adequate?
2. This also isn’t a known issue – are you seeing the parallax not work on the demos as well? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog-magazine/
also, is there any specific reason that you can’t share your URL? Without being able to see your site, it’s hard to assist when the issues can’t be replicated on my end
Hi ThemeNectar,
I installed WordPress to use on my local drive using MAMP for Mac, however after running the install of WordPress twice and installing all of the components for Salient there is a conflict.
Whenever I am trying to add a new component onto a page it doesn’t allow me to alter or change the component in anyway. I can close the popup window but no changes take affect.
Even when I close the popup window and see Salient components added (i.e. Nectar Slider) when I click on update or publish all changes and added components disappear.
I need help!!!! Please help!!!!
Cheers, Alan
Please watch the video at the link to help explain the situation and problem I have run into with MAMP and Salient:
View video here: https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZpJ907ZR5Kv6MicmOzorIGbxVrQem8iI0Q7
PLEASE HELP!!!
Cheers, Alan
Hey Alan, this was a known issue with the latest Firefox and the old visual composer – Salient released an update to fix this as it became available from WPbakery – please update your version of Salient to the current release (8.5.3) and then update your Salient VC in the plugins section to get the fix
Cheers
Hi, since the update to WP 4.9 and Salient 8.5, after editing or previewing a page using visual composer, the scroll bar moves to the bottom of the page. do you know about this? very inconvenient
turns out I installed the 8.5.2 theme but needed to re-install Visual Composer plugin to 5.2.3. All good now
Hey Account76,
glad that sorted it for you 
Cheers
Hi. How can I round the corners of a column as you have done in the “Info/Contact Box Overlapping Map” template. Thanks.
Hey wints77,
As of Salient 8.5 there’s an option within the column settings for “Border Radius”
Cheers
Great option. Thanks.
You’re welcome 
I am trying to have the titles under portfolio items be centered. I’ve seen a bunch of different css tips here but they all seem different than each other. I used one and it came close to centering, but not completely. The last letter is right under the center of the image. Do you have css that’s updated to work with latest versions of theme that centers the titles? Seeing as there’s pages of comments over the years asking how to center the titles, may want to make that an option along with the other options, like removing the dates.
Never mind, I used this CSS I found in the comments here and it fixed my issue.
body .portfolio-items .work-meta { text-align: center; width: 100%; }
Hey mikelaha, glad to hear you’ve sorted it 
Hey FeriaPixel, I can’t currently access that URL – can you verify it’s correct?
Cheers
Hey, use this in the custom css box:
.nectar_video_lightbox.play_button_with_text span.play {
transform: scale(0.5);
margin-right: -10px;
}
It appears you’ve adjusted the margin right value of the supplied snippet to be -100px, change it to 10px instead
