Hi Nectar.
I’ve been using Saliant for a few years now and still love it. So thank you very much!
Recently I’ve started a video blog and would like to have the title and a little text BEFORE the video to introduce it, as well as after the video as a short summary. However, if I create a post in video format, the text and title always comes AFTER the video.
To get around this I tried creating a post in standard format, and inserting the text first, then the video, then the summary text. On the single post page, this looks exactly as I want it. :) However then, when I look at the posts list, only the text appears and not the video. :(
In short: is there a way to have a the title and a short amount of text BEFORE a video post (and after!), and for the text and video to ALL show up in the posts list?
Many thanks Nectar
James
Hey James,
In the Salient options panel > blog tab check the option for “Hide Featured Image on Single Post” – this will also apply for the featured video. So you could then keep the post in the “video” format to get it to display in the post archives but create your custom formatting in the editor with the video between paragraphs for the single post layout 
Cheers
Hey Nectar
Yes that works… kind of! That introduces the new problem that now ALL my blog posts, including regular articles, lose the featured image! (It would be great to offer that feature per post, wink wink, nudge nudge. 
Also the video is still appears at the top in the blog archive. Can you think of any way of being able to display a video between paragraphs on the blog archive too??? I think this is really important as many people are now doing video blogs, which require a short text intro to give context, and maybe a short paragraph afterwards with the big takeaways from the video.
Thanks for your quick responses
Hey jameat, to go the alternative method of only hiding the featured video on select posts instead of turning on that theme option I mentioned, you could use this snippet in the custom css box in the page builder (top right gear icon) on any posts that you need to:
article.post .content-inner > .video { display: none; }
Thanks Nectar. That solves the first part of my query beautifully.
However I still have the question:
Is there a way to display a video between paragraphs on the blog archive?
Many thanks
You’re welcome
As of now, that would indeed require modding the includes/post-templates/entry-video.php
Cheers
Ok. Thanks Nectar.
You’re welcome
Hello
I really need your help regarding one problem. I have set up a video header background on the website but it is not appearing correctly on mobile devices. The video is not showing on mobile devices. Is there any way I may hide the video header background on all mobile devices? Please guide. Thank you so much.
Hello. Could you please respond back to this. Its a live website and I really need to make these changes on an urgent basis. Thankyou.
Hey Xclamator,
The page header section set to “Video background”, there’s a field titled “Preview Image” that will be the image that is shown to users when viewed on mobile devices
Cheers
Hello. No I want to completely remove the video header from mobile. I already know of preview feature. I don’t want that. I want to remove the video header completely from mobile view. Please please please guide. It’s a live website and I need to hide it. Thanks
Hey Xclamatory, please share the URL so I can provide the needed snippet
Cheers
Is there a way to remove the numbers from the slider arrows?
Hey cjcombs,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.swiper-container .slide-count {
display: none!important;
}
.swiper-container .slider-next,
.swiper-container .slider-prev {
width: 50px!important;
}
Cheers
Thank you!
You’re welcome
Do you know how to get the MetaBox plugin working? I am trying to get the Yoast plugin working on the Portfolio pages. https://wordpress.org/plugins/meta-box-yoast-seo/
Hey eideindustries,
I haven’t personally used that addon for Yoast, but from their usage docs https://github.com/wpmetabox/mb-yoast-seo#usage you need to add a new config option to the field. So this would need to be added into the nectar/meta/portfolio-meta.php file at the extra content $meta_box as a config arg Cheers
Thank you for your prompt reply! I located the extra content $meta_box section but am not sure where it should be placed. I tried placing it under the ‘fields’ => array( at the very bottom but got a white screen afterwards.
Hey eideindustries,
I would try checking with the plugin author for further clarification on implementation. I’ve also noted to try and add a workaround directly into the theme for a future update to avoid having to use a plugin
Cheers
That would be awesome. Thanks for your help.
You’re welcome
Is there a reason why when I select to show the bullet navigation on the Nectar Slider they won’t show? In addition, I am noticing the scrolling icon getting cutoff from the bottom of the slider. https://eleviamedia.com/images/scrollingimagecutoff.png
Hey cjcombs,
Please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so we can inspect your setup to assist https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Hi. How do we increase font size and ensure buttons size appropriately for mobile version? We notice the fonts are very small and some of the sliders are getting cut off. Is there a standard image size we need to be using or some setting that we can’t find?

Hi Guys,
How do I separate my text paragraphs when using the icon list?
It won’t won’t work, even if I use the separator short code.
Can you help?
Hey 0754ben84,
simply adding line break spaces with “enter/return” keys within the editor should work for the front end. If they’re not showing for you could you please open a ticket in regards?
Cheers
Hi,
Do you have an exactly like this one, especially the header layout using your theme?
https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/local/boston
Hey jedlarosa, there’s no header layout offered that is exactly like that one. It would require some custom modding at this time
two question: is it possible to have random video background in homepage? Salient is compatible with the plugin Super Bundle for WPBakery Page Builder (formerly Visual Composer) [ https://codecanyon.net/item/super-bundle-for-visual-composer/20374176] ?
Hey ilcanedipavlov,
1. Salient supports video backgrounds, but not random ones. You need to specificy which video source you intend on using 2. I haven’t personally tested with that addon but can’t see why it wouldn’t work
Cheers
quick question – client says hamburger menu (desktop) is too fat, trying to find the css that controls the hamburger menu, could you help pointing me in the right direction.
Hey MatthewMurdoch,
Please share your URL in regards so I can see your current settings so I can assist
Cheers

Hey MatthewMurdoch, add this into the custom css box:
body[data-header-search="false"]:not(.mobile) #header-outer[data-has-menu="false"][data-cart="false"] .slide-out-widget-area-toggle[data-icon-animation="simple-transform"] .lines,
body[data-header-search="false"]:not(.mobile) #header-outer[data-has-menu="false"][data-cart="false"] .slide-out-widget-area-toggle[data-icon-animation="simple-transform"] .lines:before,
body[data-header-search="false"]:not(.mobile) #header-outer[data-has-menu="false"][data-cart="false"] .slide-out-widget-area-toggle[data-icon-animation="simple-transform"] .lines:after,
body[data-header-search="false"] #header-outer[data-has-menu="false"][data-cart="false"] .slide-out-widget-area-toggle[data-icon-animation="simple-transform"] .lines-button:after {
height: 2px!important;
}
In the ‘Row layout’ it’s possible to enter custom layouts.
However I was wondering why custom layouts like
1/10 + 8/10 + 1/10 1/7 + 5/7 + 1/7 1/8 + 7/8
result in the error: ‘Wrong row layout format!’
What’s wrong with these layouts?
Regards,
Jochem
sorry, that should have been:
..custom layouts like
1/10 + 8/10 + 1/10
1/7 + 5/7 + 1/7
1/8 + 7/8
Hey Jochem, VC is built on a 12 column grid system and only accepts fractions that fit into that system.
ah.. ok, thanks for the info
No problem jochemvanderheide
BUG: sticky header is on one page site (with “Activate Fullscreen Rows” active) even if “Disable Sticky Header on Mobile” is active. I see a LOT of comments/questions/Problems regarding this here, but you always refer them to disable that checkbox. but it doesn’t work if it’s a one page site with the “Activate Fullscreen Rows” turned on.
Hey guy23,
It would work if you enabled the option to disable the page fullscreen rows on mobile – the reason is “appears” not to when the effect is left on is because you’re actually never scrolling down the page. The page full screen rows essentially turn your rows into a vertical slider – you stay in the same position in the document and navigate through the slides that are your rows.
Cheers
I was wondering if you have an option to make the social media icons have a circular border?
Hey pennylanemin, are you referring to social media icons in the header navigation area? If so, it would require some custom css at this time
Cheers
dear salient developers, did you make any recent changes that broke the styles on safari? my site was working ok across all browsers, and now i suddenly i have problems across multiple pages on safari. specifically, the problems are:
1) all pages, when loaded, scroll right to the bottom – https://www.hyperoffice.com/hyperoffice-solutions/ 2) center aligned divs are now left shifted – https://www.hyperoffice.com/hyperoffice-products/ 3) pages with images coming out of the side now have a side scroll (seems like the overflow:hidden css attributes are broken) – https://www.hyperoffice.com/online-collaboration-solution/
we get a lot of traffic from safari. can you please look into it?
Hey anuragitanejo,
Nothing has been changed that would cause Safari specific issue like you’ve mentioned – have you verified that no third party plugins you may have active could be causing this?
Cheers
i haven’t installed a new plugin in recent weeks. could you please diagnose the problem at the css level so that i could fix it? it certainly seems CSS related.
is it possible to use custom shape divider?
Hey berkeleyassociates,
As of now this would require modding to the nectar/nectar-vc-addons/vc_templates/vc_row.php file
Cheers
I got it but where you created these shapes so i can create my own and add it in php file?
They’re SVG shapes, so you could use a program like illustrator to create your own
Hi, everything is done right but after adding SVG to vc_row.php still its not showing inside row settings > shape divider … what can be the reason?
Hey berkeleyassociates, that section of the row file is only how you could force a new shape to display on the front. To also get it to become a new option in the backend would require further custom development in the nectar/nectar-vc-addons/nectar-addons.php
Hi, ok i got it working thanks .. but when i output svg from illustrator its very different then yours, which program you use to export or create svg also when exporting what color, size of svg should set?
This is beyond the scope of support I can give, but I used this site to convert the illustrator svg shapes into single paths
Alright .. thanks for all your help and support
You’re welcome
Hi, installed the theme, imported the Ultimate Blog Landing demo content, I have set up the landing page as the home page and set up my logo through the Salient theme options.
The issue that I face is that the theme uses a dark version of the logo which is a salient logo but I have no option to upload a dark version of the logo so I am stuck with the Salient logo.
Hey melbo,
You need to also set your logos in the Salient options panel > header navigation > transparency tab when using the transparent header
Cheers
Hello ThemeNectar,
I have a quick question: How can I force a single portfolio site to pull the dark version of my logo instead of the bright one? I have a site with a white header background image where the default white logo gets pulled making it invisible.
Thank you very much!
Mike
Hey Mike,
This option has been added into the beta, if you’d like a copy before the release please email me in regards
Cheers
Hey Themenectar, thank you very much for the offer, I’d like to try it out. What is your email address? And is there an ETA for the next stable release? thanks!
Hey mcmisha, the next release will likely be tomorrow and
you can use the contact form on my author page: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks! I have waited for the release version and updated today. The update worked flawlessly but the option to pull the light or dark version of the logo does not seem to work. No matter if I select light or dark it always shows the light version. Or am I missing something? Here is a link to the site in question: http://newer.mikekren.at/portfolio/easyname/ I’d like to have the ‘logo’ (the back button) in the upper left corner to be dark, not bright. I have uploaded a dark version of the logo in the transparency settings.
Thanks!!
Hey! Could you try disabling the option “Header Permanent Transparent” in the Salient options panel > header navigation > transparency to see if it fixes it for you?
Cheers
Hey ThemeNectar, thanks for your reply! I tried it out and it works indeed. But is there any chance to have it work with a transparent header as well?
Also, I have written a private ticket with the number 1470519 last week, would be great if you could take a look at that as well.
Thanks as always for the great support!
Cheers, Mike
Hey Mike, it should work with the regular transparent header (where it’s only transparent at the top before scrolling) however i’ve noted to also provide compatibility with the permanent transparent option
Is it possible to hide the facebook link on the mobile menu. I still need it to work in the footer so is there some css to just not display the facebook icon and link in the mobile menu. thank you
Hey MarcGarner,
add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
.off-canvas-social-links { display: none; }
Cheers
Hi, thanks but this removes all the social media links. I only want to remove the facebook link
Hey, you could change the snippet to be this instead:
.off-canvas-social-links .fa-facebook {
display: none;
}
Hey there,
