Hi there, On this page I’ve a section with two columns of icons and text. After shrinking to less than 1000px width it’s shown as one column. On mobile this is really nice, but on Ipad (landscape or smaller screens compared to laptop/desktop) the layout isn’t that nice. (see this url on smaller width: https://esb.kleidi.nl/) Is there a way to solve this f.e. to get also two columns between bigger as iphone width but smaller as 1000px?
Hey Abbenhues, you can use the “Tablet column width inherits from” option for your column when editing the column responsive options https://ibb.co/kOYFW9
Great guys, thanks! Love the theme!
You’re very welcome Abbenhues 
hi guys,
i am having an issue on mobile devices with the background video. Half the screen shows a video but half the screen is the cover image. any idea why this is happening? looks fine on a desktop view.
Hey bachuramadhikari,
Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look
Thanks in advance
That is the link, Look at the header in a phone
Hey bachuramadhikari,
That was fixed in the 9.0.1 release

Hi, how can I change single post to full-width? Blog Type is set on “Masonry Blog Fullwidth”, but single post is in container.
Thanks
Hey stefanomaxis,
Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
html body[data-ext-responsive="true"].single-post .container-wrap.no-sidebar .post-area,
body.single-post .container {
max-width: none;
}
Cheers
.body.single-post .container breaks blog_next_prev_buttons block.
I’ve added also: .post-area .content-inner { padding: 0!important; } .blog_next_prev_buttons { margin-top: 0!important }
to make it more similar to page
Hello, I have an Animate CC animation on my homepage but it not seems to be responsive on mobile devices. How can I accomplish that?
Hey Sieber-nl,
Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look
Thanks in advance
Thanks! This is the url: https://tjhydraulics.com/
Hey Sieber-nl,
I don’t see anything in Salient overriding the dimensions – can you verify you’ve saved it to be responsive? https://theblog.adobe.com/creating-html5-ads-with-animate-cc-responsive-canvas-scaling/
Cheers
No I did not change anything. It does scale fine on a desktop computer the problems seem to occur when viewing it in landscape on an iPad. I did set ‘Make responsive – Both’ but did not set ‘Scale to visible area – Fit in view’. Would that be the problem?
Hey Sieber-nl, could you try setting the option to “Scale to visible area” and see if that sorts the issue?
Still no luck. The image is still overlapping the second column.
Hi!
I was trying to rename Portfolio and Projects text around website and was able to change it as you suggested in other comments. But only one place still remain with original Projects title: it’s a navigation links Next Project and Previous Projects.
Pls could you give me quick tip how to change that particular text location.
Thanks a lot!
More about Portfolio: Could you advice pls if there is any chance to use Blog layout and Blog’s sidebar widget layout to show Portfolio items? Can I copy css or template or similar?
My portfolio items have video and text and audio so I need different showcase layout then just image grid.
I am using portfolio item for private members-only Lessons and nned to show many lessons in compact way in sidebar on the page or main page with all lessons similar to blog post-type – I really like all variation of blog post swocase.
I cannot use blog for lessons because then it will mix up with public post and will have a lot of troubles.
Thanks!
Also, I like to ask if I can activate to display protfolio pages under typical blog structure:
/custom-portfolio-slug/category-name/single-portfolio-name
Maine idea is to use proper structure to show url for single page. For ex. I have
“Programs / Category / Single Lesson” – that would be general idea.
Now I can see only ”/ Programs / Single Lesson” which is not the best because different lessons created under different programs and different categories.
thanks a lot!
Hey SiamNinja,
1. You can alter that text via a .po file, the strings “Next Project” and “Previous Project” are available for translation
2. Unfortunately the styles are separated completely, it would take a fair deal of rewriting to make them available for both at this time
3. WordPress does not include the taxonomy in custom post type permalinks by default, however there’s ways around that via custom filters or by using a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-permastructure/
Cheers
Ok, thanks!
I got Loco Translate plugin – which file should I translate? thanks
I was trying to follow your instruction by adding new Eng language file BUT I could not find Next or Previous Project string. It’s just not coming in search box.
Screenshot: https://paste.pics/3VXWV1. Translation: solved.
3. Portfolio url – problem. I tried to use plugin to change custom link slug but it brakes WooCommerce shop page links and when I tried to add /category/ to portfolio url – it’s adding Blog archive link into url.
So I cannot get Portfolio’s category name into url and shop’s products don’t work anymore :((
I think many people have this problem with portfolio.
Thanks a lot.
I tried many option but I don’t see what exactly should I add to custom url slug? Is there any special taxonomy slug to get project-category displayed?
After using custom post permalink plugin – I was able to SEE only full url with category incl BUT all portfolio items are empty and I get 404 error. Even if url visible /custom slug / category / post name but actual project page always empty.
After plugin deactivated – all looks good again but not category slug in url.
Thanks!
Hey SiamNinja,
Sorry about that – I didn’t realize that plugin had not been updated in a few years, here’s another one which is current 
Cheers
I’m using Trellis (https://roots.io/trellis/) stack on a multisite.
Starting with Salient 9+ I’m having issues with some of the assets being loaded for the theme options. The particular issue is that the absolute path is being added to the URLs erroneously.
For the demo importer images this has always been an issue, but that was easily ignored (even an issue on non-multisite Trellis install). But now I’ve figured that the same issue with the absolute paths is what was breaking the demo importer.
I’ve narrowed the issue down to how the URLs are generated in the two files here in this directory: /salient/nectar/redux-framework/extensions/vendor_support
I tried to fix it myself, but it would require overwriting core theme files.
The fix is something like this: extension_vendor_support.com around line 53 and field_wbc_importer.php around line 49
if (is_admin()) { $this->extension_url = str_replace('web/','',str_replace(str_replace('/web/wp/','', get_home_path()),'',site_url( str_replace( trailingslashit( str_replace( '\\', '/', ABSPATH ) ), '', $this->extension_dir ) )));
} else { $this->extension_url = site_url( str_replace( trailingslashit( str_replace( '\\', '/', ABSPATH ) ), '', $this->extension_dir ) );
}
And replace field_wbc_importer.php line 43 with:
$this->demo_data_url = str_replace('web/','',str_replace(str_replace('/web/wp/','', get_home_path()),'',site_url( str_replace( trailingslashit( str_replace( '\\', '/', ABSPATH ) ), '', $this->demo_data_dir ) )));
Please see if you can make another release that addresses this issue. I’m sure many people use Salient on the Trellis stack.
Hey allurewebsolutions, we are aware of this issue and will be sorting it in the next release – also, if you’d like a copy of the beta prior to v9.0.2 kindly reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page
Cheers
The changelog to v9.0.2 doesn’t mention anything in regards to this. Please advise.
Hey allurewebsolutions, Yes, sorry for the confusion – the version numbers got switched up because we were forced to release an earlier update specifically for WooCommerce. The next release is the one containing the bulk bugfixes/new features. The release is slated for less than a week now, but we can still get you the beta ASAP if you would like it.
Yes, please send it to me. I wrote you guys from the author page about it 1 month ago, but didn’t get a response. I just wrote again.
Hey allurewebsolutions, sorry about missing your original email – just sent a copy your way.
Cheers
In the Team Member widget (Style: Bio Shown Fullscreen Modal),
Is it possible to have a button that opens the modal? I’d like to have a button directing the user as well as having the profile photo open the modal.
Is this possible and if so what URL/class do I use in the button VC element?
Thanks
Hey jadecreative,
Unfortunately the only way to trigger it without custom JS development would be through the regular image link for the element. I’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist though
Cheers
Hi, Does this theme support Paralax AND side dot navigation at the same time like it is in this theme link https://demos.pixelgrade.com/rosa/
Hey tzvimoshe,
When using the dot navigation in Salient, each section will be scrolled to in a different manner http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-product/

Hi there, I’ve got a compatibility/bug report: the main podcast page seems to break when using the Seriously Simple Podcast plugin, setting it to show podcasts in the blog feed, and using a masonry layout. It gives the error:
Uncaught TypeError: $blog_containers[i].isotope is not a function at o.<anonymous> (init.js:15081) at o.t.emitEvent (imagesLoaded.min.js:7) at o.complete (imagesLoaded.min.js:7) at o.progress (imagesLoaded.min.js:7) at imagesLoaded.min.js:7
Not sure if this is better reported to you or the SSP team (or the WP Bakery one?). Feel free to let me know if you want.
NOTE: This sort of page /had/ been working. I only just noticed it had stopped working after some recent update.
Hey scallemang, 9.0 added further checks to ensure scripts don’t get loaded when they’re not needed – when the plugin you’re using is set to display on the blog archive, it must be altering the WP post type for the blog page as well. To fix this issue now, you’d need to remove the check in the functions.php file to verify that script is only loaded on the blog archive. Change this:
$nectar_on_blog_archive_check = ( is_archive() || is_author() || is_category() || is_home() || is_tag() ) && ( 'post' == $posttype && !is_singular() );to this:
$nectar_on_blog_archive_check = ( is_archive() || is_author() || is_category() || is_home() || is_tag() );
Fantastic, thank you for your help. Hmm… I guess it sounds like such a specific conflict that there’s nothing to be done. Unless somewhere down the line Salient wants a theme option to unlock blog-like functionality to other post types?
FWIW, here’s what they’re doing with the ‘podcast’ post type per their docs:
“This setting may behave differently in each theme, so test it carefully after activation – it will add the ‘podcast’ post type to your site’s main query so that your podcast episodes appear on your home page along with your blog posts.”
You’re welcome scallemang 
I’ve noted to look into an easier workaround.
Cheers
Hello, looking through all the nectar shortcode icons but cant find the icon package [icon color=”Accent-Color” size=”regular” image=”icon-mobile-phone”]. Do you know which icon package this is?
Hey ponchovogel,
That’s located in the font awesome library
Cheers
Hello! Maybe you could give me quick tips.
How I can make my checkout page in one column? I am selling digital products and need quick short form only.
Thanks a lot!
Hey SiamNinja, Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
.woocommerce .col2-set .col-1, .woocommerce-page .col2-set .col-1 {
width: 100%!important;
}
Cheers
Thanks, but unfortunately only Billing info become one column but Order details and payment option stayed in 2 column layout and now appear on right side of screen and left half is empty.
Would be great to make one column layout for Billing Info and then below full wide Your Order info and payment button.
I want to add side bar on payment page so I want to see checkout layout in one column on the left and custom content sidebar on the right.
thanks
Hey SiamNinja,
Change the initial snippet I provided you to be this instead:
.woocommerce .col2-set .col-1, .woocommerce-page .col2-set .col-1, .checkout .col2-set .col-2 {
width: 100%!important;
}
Cheers
hi, after update theme and salient visual composer plugin, option to color overlay background image don’t works, can help us? thanks
Hey CAPBCN, if you’ve already cleared your browser cache after updating, kindly share the URL so I can see what’s going on
Thanks in advance
Hello Team,
I have updated Salient theme for one of my client and after the update it breaks their home page, As on the home page they’re using Parallax Background.
It’s zooming in a background image instead of showing the original size as before.
I think it’s because of transform: translate3d effect, it’s done like that, Can you please let me know how to make minimal changes to the current theme or function file to get back to normal? As image is large when someone scroll down it give feeling like background image is jumping little bit.
Any input or suggestion would be more helpful.
Thanks for the awesome theme.
Hey princebhalani143,
Could you kindly share the URL in question so I can take a look?
Thanks in advance
Before Update: https://bit.ly/2zZfT32
After Update: https://bit.ly/2QDvRoL
I think that issue is related to translate class in new updated theme i.e.class=”row-bg using-image translate”
Thanks princebhalani143, you can get more of the BG image to show by changing the row BG parallax speed from “slow” to “fast”
Thanks for your reply
It’s showing image more, but still that image jumping issue is not resolved, I think it’s because of image height even in fast it’s not showing image like before.
Check the second section where the girl is with the hat but it’s not showing complete image and when scrolling, it’s a jumpy little bit I think it’s because of image height.
If you see before update link there is a smooth parallax scroll while in the after changes from “slow” to “fast” it’s also staying the same no smooth parallax scroll like before.
Hey princebhalani143, the option for the custom scrollbar was removed since it was a long deprecated option that caused a huge performance hit. What browser/browser version are you currently using? All modern browsers should support smooth scrolling by default
Thanks for your reply, I am talking about smooth parallax scroll as of now parallax image is jumping little bit when we’re scrolling as I have tested in Mozilla, Chrome, Sarafi, IE, Edge all are updated with latest version. Can you please have a look as I am looking for same result as before so both Parallax images come same as before as of now image is coming as little bit zoom.
Hello Team,
Still waiting for some solution from your end 
Hi! Is it possible to center my footer content on mobile? Thanks! f.e.: https://esb.kleidi.nl/
Hey Abbenhues,
Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 1px) {
#footer-widgets .container .col {
text-align: center;
}
.ginput_container.ginput_container_email, #footer-outer #footer-widgets .col input[type="submit"] {
width: 100%!important;
}
}
Cheers
Perfect!
Cheers Abbenhues 
Hi, when you add this type header? We need this like add one please. Please add this option for header.
Hey sinayes,
Thanks for the request, i’ve noted it on the wishlist 
With the latest version of Salient there seems to be a bug with the Search Products widget – http://prntscr.com/l3dsui
I’m assuming the button is supposed to be inside the “Search product…” box.
Hey peterstavrou,
Can you kindly share your URL so I can take a look at your theme settings in order to replicate that?
Thanks in advance
It happens when using the eCommerce Ultimate template
Thank you peterstavrou, I can now see that it’s isolated to the product search widget when supplying a widget title – this will be fixed in the next release. To sort it for now, Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
div.widget.woocommerce.widget_product_search form { position: relative; }
Cheers
Hi is it possible to have extended responsive design on specific pages. I would like to have one page (contact ) wider compared to my other pages. Thanks!
Hey Abbenhues, there’s no option to enable that only for specific pages, however you could modify the container width on individual pages with custom css. If you can share your URL i’d be glad to provide
an example 
Thanks! That would be awesome. It’s about this page: https://esb.kleidi.nl/contact/
Hey Abbenhues,
Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
@media only screen and (min-width: 1500px) {
.page-id-26 .container {
max-width: 1400px;
}
}
Cheers
Thanks awesome!
Perfect! Only my footer is really wide as well now. Is it possible to exclude this section?
Hey Abbenhues,
Change the snippet to the following 
@media only screen and (min-width: 1500px) {
.page-id-26 .container.main-content {
max-width: 1400px;
}
}
Hello!
In recent Visual Composer update there is option to make any raw Sticky. How I can do it?
I want to make raw with button sticky to bottom on selected pages.
Thanks a lot!
Hey SiamNinja,
I believe you’re referring to a feature they added into the standalone product not available on Envato (Visual Composer) – the WPBakery page builder, which Salient uses does not currently offer that: https://ibb.co/h4hm19Cheers
Hi! Thanks for reply, I was referring to this page: https://visualcomposer.io/help/content-elements-structure/sticky-row-option/
But it’s not a problem, Salient is great anyway. I will appreciate if you could give me idea how to make raw with a button stick to the bottom of the page to make it easy to see and bold.Is it smth I can do with Salient’s functionality of need extra plugin?
Thanks!
Hey SiamNinja,
Yeah, that’s not the page builder Salient uses – WPBakery split their page builder into 2 separate products, one that’s used on Envato (and included in Salient) and another standalone version that they’re calling “Visual Composer” – they have two separate feature sets: https://visualcomposer.io/help/faq/visual-composer-website-builder-vs-wpbakery-page-builder/ – unfortunately there’s no built in way in Salient to accomplish a sticky bottom row, however you could find a plugin to add that
Cheers
Thanks
Last question: I was able to fix it with CSS but cannot get row float on top of footer even with maximum z-index 1000 for my div and raw.
I found solution, so all good. thanks
Glad to hear SiamNinja 
Hello @themenectar! All of the sudden, my video is not displaying video via desktop. On a chrome browser, it shows a static image of the video. On Safari browser, my video header doesn’t display a video. It’s an empty grey space. Please advise.
Hey creationstudios, could you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
Thanks in advance
mostlysunny.co
thank you my url is mostlysunny,co
Hey creationstudios, Make sure you’re using a version above 8.5 – recently browsers changed autoplay policies and we had to release an update to fix that: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes
Cheers
is this the same with safari?
I understand the update with Chrome, but not clear if Safari has similar updates.
how about these browsers: Browsers: IE10, IE11, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome, Edge
Hey creationstudios,
Firefox & IE did not change their policy, but Safari did along with Chrome: https://bitmovin.com/play-not-play-new-autoplay-policies-safari-11-chrome-64/

Hi Team Theme Nectar,
The video for www.mostlysunny.co is not showing in Safari. I updated my website to Salient theme 9.1 (most current theme) and currently using both webm and mp4. Please let me know how this issue with the Safari browser not displaying the open header video but an unwanted empty space can be finally resolved.
Thank you,
Creation Studios
Hey creationstudios,
When accessing your mp4 directly in Safari i’m not able to play it: https://www.mostlysunny.co/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Los-Angeles-Influencer-Marketing-Agency.mp4 – can you try running it through a mp4 encoder to verify the encoding is not the issue https://video.online-convert.com/convert-to-mp4
Cheers
We verify the encoding prior to messaging you. Unfortunately, it is not playing on safari browser.
Hey creationstudios, because the video is not playing when accessed directly on the server (outside Salient) in Safari, I would suspect that your server is not setting a mime type for mp4. Check out this resource for adding them.
Hi Team,
I am bumping my head against the wall. Salient is not playing in safari for me. I tried mime, updating theme, adding code in htaccess- nothing is work. Please advise. 
Hey creationstudios, I’m still unable to load the direct video stored on your server in Safari. i.e. pasting this into the URL bar: https://www.mostlysunny.co/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Los-Angeles-Influencer-Marketing-Agency.mp4 that will be the case whether or not Salient is the active theme. When accessing a mp4 directly in the URL bar, it should be able to play: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate-2/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/615170811.mp4 I you add that source into your page for a test mp4, it will also play in Safari when used as a video BG
Hello, loving the new Salient 9! We just recently updated to this version, however quick question. There was a function that you previously suggested a while back where we could place…
//Remove added theme selections
function add_salient_studio_to_vc() {
return false;
}
into the functions.php file. We need to hide the Salient themes for users as we have created our own page templates for each page. This code does still disable the theme templates, however it no longer hides the “Salient Templates” button in the editor. Is there something new we need to do for that so the button no longer shows, and it only shows the “My Templates” button instead?
Thank you kindly.
Hey lookwhoo, to remove the new studio template button you can add this into the child theme functions.php as well 
function nectar_generate_salient_studio_button() {
return false; }
Cheers
Great, that fixed it. Thank you!
Glad I could help lookwhoo
