Now that we’re all using Magnific for Lightbox duties, is there an ‘Inline Content’ class we can add to a button? I’ve been waiting for this feature to be within Salient for ages.
Hey kford, Magnific has been available for a while in Salient – it’s only possible at this time to add a custom class to nectar buttons to trigger a video or image
Cheers
Hi,
First of all congratulations, Salient is for sure one of the best theme and support I’ve already experienced.
I am in this moment working in a new site and I have a problem with background header video on edge browser.
I already update for the latest version of the theme (8.5.3) but the issue continue: http://umsoprodealegria.ibername.com/~demos/stephan.com.pt/charpente-metallique
What could be causing this problem?
Thanks.
Thanks a lot jdgranja!
I’m seeing that you only have one file type for the video background and it’s a .mov – you need to supply both an .mp4 and .webm when using a self hosted video BG for cross browser compatitiblity
Cheers
Can you please delete my ticksy-account? It’s not working with a new license an my actual email address, which is currently linked to an expired license. Thank you!
Hey, I just took care of that for you 
Thanks!
You’re welcome
Hi there For my off canvas navigation (menu+dropdown): I would like the same styles as your demos (see screenshot). I am not able to find the settings.

Rgds Marco
Hey Marco,
In the Salient options paenel > header navigation > off canvas navigation tab, select “Slide out from right hover triggered” for the menu style
Cheers
Thanks for you reply!
In your demo, hamburger icon is taller (see screenshot), can I change that?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5mjcwe4p48ha8pv/hamburger.png?dl=0Rgds Marco
Hey, the larger off canvas menu icon gets called when there is no menu assigned to the top nav i.e. when the OCM is the only form of navigation. If that’s the case on your setup, could you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
Hi there, i removed the header search, now it’s working thx!
Hey, glad to hear
Is it me or is the video post type for material missing the actual video. Is there a way to add the video back in?
Example: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog-ultimate/waking-up-at-early-today/
versus when the video actually showed up in the post: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/auctor-consectetur-ligula/
Hey bradleyscott,
there’s an option in the Salient options panel > blog tab for “Hide Featured Image on Single Post” which also applies to the featured video. That option can be disabled or the video can be added into the actual post content to appear on the single page
Cheers
Individual portfolio page width set to fullwidth but would like it about 90%... on this website here is one of the portfolio pages: http://staging.stochasticlabs.org/portfolio/filmmaking-robots/
I want the page to show at almost full-width, about 90%. How can I achieve this on all portfolio pages? Thanks!
Hey,
it looks like you’ve already made this mod with the following CSS:
div#portfolio-extra {
padding-left: 2.5%;
padding-right: 2.5%;
}
Hi, If I activate Salient Visual Composer, my page stop shoing content, be it i ported demo or barebones wordpress install. Any tip, please? Thank you.
Hey dummy123,
are you referring to the front end or the backend? Could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials in regards? https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Hey, I’m seeing an issue where the audio player breaks when the window size get’s smaller than 1000px. The widths of all the player elements (play button, time-rail, current time indicator…) drop down to 32px and they stack on the left side of the player. I wasn’t able to find any examples of the audio player on the demo sites, but It’s happening on a vanilla installation of the theme. Is this a known issue? Thanks, - Reggie
Hey Reggie,
Try adding this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
body .mejs-controls {
display: -webkit-flex!important;
display: flex!important;
}
}
Cheers
Yes! This solved it! So blown away by your faithfulness to support this theme! It means a lot!
You’re very welcome!
Hello, thanks for all of the support!
Is there any way to make the header nav mobile breakpoint smaller than 1000px?
Thanks!
Hey TheRooster, I’m afraid not as of now without modifying the css and js however i’ve noted the idea for the wishlist
Cheers
Hello,
Noticed recently that the full screen videos (Nectar Video) has suddenly stopped displaying in Safari. I’ve seen this issue before and looked at the support ticket for the fix, which basically pointed to an upcoming theme update. In any case, I checked an older site that hasn’t been updated in a year (I have a bunch of Salient licenses and use them for all sites I work on) and its no longer playing there either, which leads me to believe its a Safari update that broke it.
In any case, I have the jpg static image, webm, mp4 and ogv versions (converted at https://www.online-convert.com) for the video and its still not displaying in Safari. It’s showing fine in Chrome and Firefox.
Any suggestions or updates?
Thank you.
Hey misteraven,
Could you please share the URL where you’re facing this issue so I can take a look?
Cheers
Here you go… https://12oz-redev-3.mystagingwebsite.com
Thanks!
Here’s another suffering the same issue… http://mckeeusa-clone.mystagingwebsite.com/
Hey misteraven,
It looks like it may be related to the audio in the video – the recent Safari update apparently blocks any autoplaying video with sound: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46444058/vimeo-video-autoplay-not-working-in-safari-11
Checking the browser console on Safari when checking your site, I’m see this regarding the play function on the video element which seems to be in line with that:
NotAllowedError (DOM Exception 35): The request is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission.
Cheers
Thanks for the info. How do I go about stripping out the audio so it’ll play?
Hey, the online converter you listed above has an option to “Disable audio track”
As a result of this i’m seeing the same 80 pixel added/generated to the bottom of the page (before the footer section) giving me an odd white space as if by using translate Y there is a compromise in a way that whatever value i’m using the same value will be added to the bottom of the page. It happens everywhere.
Can this be eliminated somehow so the white space disappears and the orange call-to-action section at the bottom is butted up to the footer when scrolled to the bottom?? The white space is very compromising to my design. thanks.
Hey Incorporate_Design,
You’d need to give the row an extra class name and then target that with css like so:
.vc_row.remove-bottom-margin {
margin-bottom: -80px!important;
}
Cheers
It has not really worked. It only got rid of the margins at the bottom of certain rows. However, as a result of translateY (negative value), it pushes up the entire page and leaves extra white space at the bottom of each page that cannot be filled… see this page for example…. http://incorporatedesign.co.uk.gridhosted.co.uk/why-us/ massive white space at the bottom…. why?
Hey Incorporate_Design,
doing a quick test on that page by adding a negative margin of the same value as you’ve set for the translate solves the issue ( i.e. margin-bottom: -270px !important). If you’d like me to add it in for you, could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials? https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Cheers
Hi. Thanks for your quick reply. I have opened a ticket with my credentials. the ticket is called ‘z index/translateY creating extra space at bottom of page’. If you could demonstrate how to solve this on the page http://incorporatedesign.co.uk.gridhosted.co.uk/why-us/ I would be eternally grateful. many thanks
Hey! I’ve been setting up WPML recently at my website, most parts I have been able to figure out but there are 2 things that I’ve been struggling with.
1. Translating the call to action. I’ve searched for many different terms in the String Translation but there appears so many info that it becomes unclear what to do. Could you help with that?
2. On the portfolio page I link back to a custom page where an overview of my projects appear, right now I’ve put a link there in the Salient theme options but I’d like to make use of multiple links so that for both languages their own link is displayed.
I’d really appreciate if you could help me out on this one and I’d like to say thanks for the theme update a few months back with the new styles added! Really ‘adds’ something to the website
Hey joerigosens!
Have you reached out to WPML in regards for assistance yet? I’ve been in recent dialogue with them and will pass this on for official clarifcation
Cheers
Hi, got an issue where the quantity +- is displaying oddly –
Hey joshfiddy,
If you’re on the current version of Salient, could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look what’s going on?
Thanks
Hey joshfiddy,
It looks like you’re on an outdated version of Salient – when WooCommerce update their plugin a few months ago, Salient also needed to update to accomodate changing styles Cheers
is anyone having buggy issues using the page builder in Firefox? When I add elements from the page builder, the window does not close, nor does it close or save changes when I click on save changes after editing an element… Thx!
Hey anagcan,
this was fixed shortly after the release of WP 4.9 – please see the changelog in regards http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html
You need to be using the current version of the theme (8.5.3) and the Salient VC (5.2.4) in order to ensure WP 4.9 compatibility
Cheers
Hello, nice theme! I would like to know if i can show categories instead of projects at your demo “Project slider” -> http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-slider-portfolio/
Thanks
Thanks vickyb,
That would require some custom development as of now, though you could create portfolio items with custom links to your categories. There’s no no option to automatically builder the slider with a category query, it would be a manual process.
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar,
I have a problem with a break on Internet Explorer 11 – The nav menu overlaps the logo – I think it is a problem with the span the logo is in not recognising the width:auto property in Internet Explorer.
Site here: http://bit.ly/2FhLCgl
Tried on a few machines and a few versions of IE and the break is consistent.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Hey radisafi,
Could you do a quick test to see if swicthing to the Material skin option in the Salient options panel > general settings tab fixes this problem for you?
Cheers
Hey – I tried this but it doesn’t work unfortunately (It just makes the login icon drop out of position).
Any other suggestions?
^ Regarding the above we only have minimum custom css applied to any of the header items – and I removed it all and still no effect on the break – cheers
Hi ThemeNectar – Just checking if you have had a chance to look at the bug described above? – we still have no solution – Cheers!
For reference – think we may have solved the issue – we were using .svg logos – switched to .pngs and it appears to be working now
Hey, sorry for the late response – I did some testing today and actually found that to be the case as well!
How do I set up a slider as on page http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/ in the “Easy & Robust Blogging” block? I did not find it in templates or anywhere else.
Hey damann,
it’s a carousel element set to the “Flickity” script and the “Fixed Text Content Fullwidth” style. In each of the carousel columns, a single image element was used.
Cheers
Thanks! Now how do I get the image to be full sized?
Could I just get the demo data for that page? Or the code?
Hey, here’s the section code: https://pastebin.com/L2xkibJi
Cheers
Awesome!
You’re welcome
Hello .. Good evening.
I’m using the theme on a customer’s website. And the same customer will add the items in the portfolio.
I would like to know if there is any possibility of me automating some settings for each new item portfolio that it creates as in:
project configuration:
1.let enable the option – full width portfolio item layout. 2. leave selected item – hide feature image / video on single project page.
Because the client will upload many images (about 200 images) as gallery. then this items wanted to be automatic get already selected or configured.
Hey gennialedesign,
as of now this would require a change to the single-portfolio.php file at the $full_width_portfolio and $hidden_featured_media variables
Cheers
ok.
I found this varables in the single-portfolio.php. But, Where and How can i Changed This Set?
Hey gennialedesign,
this line:$fwp = 'enabled';becomes:
$fwp = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_nectar_portfolio_item_layout', true);and
$hidden_featured_media = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_nectar_hide_featured', true);
would be:
$hidden_featured_media = 'on';
thanks!!!
You’re welcome
I dont find this codes.
Hey atlantchiropractic, the left content area in that example is using the page builder, but the only element really used in that besides a text block is one for the blockquote. If you have posts built to work in the WP editor, it shouldn’t be an issue to display correctly in Salient.
Hi there. Can I ask why the portfolio header title text has changed from pixels to viewport sizing. I had custom css to change the headers which are now being ignored.
Thanks, Matt
Hey kitkana84,
Are you using the fullscreen project header option? If so, you can remove this functionality by switching to the material skin in the Salient options panel > general settings tab
Cheers
