Please i need to viewt a description menu items in the main menu and mega menu. Is it possibile? thank you
Hey nio975, as of now now menu descriptions are only called when using the off canvas navigation as shown in the Agency demo
hi, how can I show the menu descriptions? is it possibile in salient?
Hey mauriziolarocca, as of now now menu descriptions are only called when using the off canvas navigation as shown in the Agency demo
Hi Nectar, This is a follow up to your reply to LisaCicala earlier today. Sorry for the confusion.
1. Here’s the portfolio: https://hellohinge.com/work/ and the gallery in the portfolio project page: https://hellohinge.com/projects/palo-alto-networks/ 1a. One the Portfolio grid, is there a way to add the client logo as part of the title overlay, like this? https://roundhouseagency.com/work
2. The video Lightbox with the play button we’d like to change is also on that same project page. Ideally I’d like to do something similar to this, with brand, title and play button grouped together: http://www.psyop.com/project/supercell-brawl-stars-no-time-to-explain3. Is there an easy way to hide an individual project’s header? Or globally for all projects? The only way to get close was to assign a background color or image and give it a 1px height. That’s not ideal. https://hellohinge.com/projects/palo-alto-networks/
4. Is there a way to have the site menu items collapsed into the hamburger by default on the desktop (to look like the mobile view)? https://hellohinge.com/ Ideally I would like them to expand to the full menu when you click the hamburger and collapse back – like the behavior of the search. This would be more ideal than the mega menu behavior.5. Nectar slider: The full slide link has stopped working on our slides, not sure why. We had to resort to using button links instead, which is not great. I have turned full slide link back on on the first slide (Jamba Juice) here to show you what’s happening: https://hellohinge.com/ Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks for your help! Roland
Hey Roland,
1. Not without custom modding at this point, however i’ve noted the idea on the wishlist
2. You would need to alter the layout to be a full width section row with the BG image acting as the preview image (you could use top/bottom row padding such as 20% to create the needed space), and then change the video lightbox “Link Style” to be “Play button with text”
3. add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body.single-portfolio #page-header-wrap { display: none; }
4. In the Salient options panel > header navigation > off canvas navigation tab you can enable the off canvas menu to be used on desktop. Then simply assign you menu to it in Appearnece > menus > manage locations
5. This will be sorted in the next release, for now you can add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.entire-slide-link { top: 0; }
Cheers 
Thanks, Nectar.
1. Great! Would love that.
2. Ok. Will try that. How can I change the shape of the play button to a square or rectangle instead of a circle, and change its color? Is this SVG code?
3. This didn’t see to work. When I added that code in the CSS script panel, it flagged a warning saying “Element body.single-portfolio is overqualified, and just use .single-portfolio without element name.” I with and with “body” variations, and even with “none!important”, but neither got rid of the header. See example using your provided CSS: https://hellohinge.com/projects/cox-communications-soccer-nicknames/ What was the expected result? Will the entire header be hidden as if I had a size of 0px – for desktop and mobile?4. Will try that. Ideally I don’t want it to be an off canvas menu, but more of a menu that expands to the left the of hamburger when it is clicked, a bit like the search function.
5. That seemed to work. Glad to hear it will be fixed.
6.a. Portfolio “Project Item Spacing”: we want to change to full width content with no spacing and want to have 0px of “Project Item Spacing” between our portfolio project images. https://hellohinge.com/work/ 6b. We also want to do the same thing (0px) for gallery image “item spacing”. 1px is the smallest value and 0px is not an option from the pulldown menu. Default doesn’t seem to be customizable. Can we add 0px to the list or make the default 0px? https://hellohinge.com/projects/palo-alto-networks/
Thanks! Roland
Hey Roland,
2. add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body .nectar_video_lightbox.play_button:before {
border-radius: 0;
border: 6px solid #f00;
}
.nectar_video_lightbox path, .span_12.dark .nectar_video_lightbox.play_button_with_text path {
fill: #f00;
}
3. The snippet provided was only for projects that are using a project header with a background image/color supplied, on projects that do not have any added you’ll need this as well:
body[data-header-resize="0"] .project-title { display: none; }
6. Have you tried to change the item spacing to “default”? For that style, it should be 0 if you have the fullwidth layout selected
Thanks, Nectar.
2. I added this into our CSS panel and I don’t see any changes. It also throws a warning in the CSS editor: “unknown property ‘fill’” See here: https://hellohinge.com/projects/palo-alto-networks/
3. This works – we have to make the transition to the non title style before implementing. Thanks!
6a. The “default” seems to give this result. FYI – most of our project thumbnails are currently 384×216, so maybe that has something to do with it? Also, are there other settings to change either within the portfolio widget or the individual projects that would impact this look? “Masonry Style” or “Bypass Image Cropping”?
6b. Same problem with the gallery image spacing, even with large 1280×720 images. “Default” creates BIG gaps between images. https://hellohinge.com/projects/palo-alto-networks/ 7. How can I adjust the alpha hover color and text color over the portfolio images? The hover color is too dark, the text is not contrasty enough. https://hellohinge.com/work/Thanks! Roland
8. Portfolio and Gallery – 1 column layout. How can we make this happen to look like this: http://www.psyop.com/work
Would it be possible to create a similar hover effect that initially loads a still then plays an animated gif on hover?
6.a. How can I force the data-gutter=”0px”?
Hey hingedigital,
2. The CSS provided was for the other lightbox style, to alter the one you’re currently using you would need this instead:
html body #ajax-content-wrap .nectar-video-box[data-hover="zoom_button"] a.nectar_video_lightbox:after {
border-radius: 0;
background-color: #f00!important;
}
body .nectar-video-box a.nectar_video_lightbox path {
fill: #000!important;
}
6. Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body .portfolio-items[data-gutter="default"]:not([data-col-num="elastic"]) .col {
padding: 0!important;
}
8. Unfortunately that would require custom modding as of now. The only one column layout Salient offers for projects is within the “recent projects” element and it’s called the “Fullscreen zoom slider”. An example can be seen here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-slider-portfolio
Thanks, Nectar!
2. What is the code variant for the Video Lightbox with “Zoom BG image” option turned on? Thanks!
6a. This works great on the portfolio, thanks! 6b. Could you provide the code to do the same thing on a 2-col Image Gallery grid? The code you provided previously works on 3col, but not 2. Thanks!
Would you consider including an explicit “0px” item spacing option for both the portfolio and gallery widgets in a future release? This would take the guess work out of what “default” does/means.
7. How can I adjust the alpha hover color and text color over the portfolio images? The hover color is too dark, the text is not contrasty enough. https://hellohinge.com/work/
8. Ok. Be great to have this option in Portfolio in the future. Or be able to adjust the number of rows in the fullwidth option – from 5 (default) to 4-1.
9. In the CSS/script panel, is there a way to include a comment line so we can label what the script fragments do? It’s getting a bit messy.
10. Is Salient compatible with WP 5.1?
Hey there. Can you please tell me if this is possible as I’m not sure. I am attempting to set up the following scenario:
I need Full Width Background layout that shows, on desktop, space on both sides (similar to a boxed layout). I do not want it to span 100% of the screen.
On mobile (iPad), I want the same Full Width design to span 100% of the width so there is no space on either side. It covers the entire screen from left to right (not height, width only).
Is this possible? I am able to accomplish this with another template but I really have my heart set on using Salient. Thank you in advance.
Hey arteest,
Unfortunately that would require some custom modding as of now. Have you considered using a full width content row with spacer columns on the right/left with the main BG set on the middle column? Those spacer columns could then be hidden on whatever devices desired via the responsive column options
Cheers
hi guys
the alternating split section salient template is very cool except on mobile it would be better if the images appeared above the text ..
to explain on desktop has text is on left..image on right, then below .. its image on left and text on right
on mboile this appears a
text image Image text
would be better image text image text
any ideas how to fix so appears as above on mobiie only?
as other themes i have used in the past were able to do this
thanks!
Hey flashbits,
The WPBakery page builder doesn’t offer to alter the alignment of columns on mobile, however you can create a duplicate version of the columns in the reverse order and then use the “responsive options” tab when editing each column to have only the desktop/mobile versions show when needed
Cheers
thanks yep realize that but looking to do pages with quite a few of them .. so will be a lot of extra work and make pages more complex so was hoping could get a true responsive solution 
any plans to make it that way in future ? would be good.. as i said other themes manage to do it?
Hey flashbits,
I’ve noted that idea on the wishlist for the next release
Cheers
thanks!
had another question
to do with hiding rows on mobile
using the instructions here
https://themenectar.ticksy.com/article/9164/have 2 rows one has
vc_hidden-xs
the other has
vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm
issue is on mobile landscape and ipad portrait even its showing both rows?
eg
how can i make it so it shows correct ONE row on landscape mobile and ipad portrait ?
thanks!
Hey flashbits,
Could you share the URL where that’s occurring so I can take a look why?
Cheers
Wow, I’m kicked out of the support forum because my 6 month support has expired. That was a blow!
Well then, one last question. How do you freaking resize category grid element to your liking? Not have it resized according to screen sizes.
Hey imoshi,
The category grid element lets you choose the column number, which will determine the width. If you’re referring to the height of each item, add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.nectar-category-grid[data-columns] .nectar-category-grid-item {
padding-bottom: 30%!important;
}
Hi ThemeNectar,
I was wondering if it’s possible to use the Nectar Slider to make a similar layout as seen in the attached image via the link below.
https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZpuPl7ZmqD8T65eFfVV5nEwnFgjlFbRDmikThoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Best, Alan
Hey Alan,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.swiper-slide .content {
padding: 50px;
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
display: inline-block;
width: auto;
}
Cheers
Thank you for the reply.
How do I make the opacity box touch the left edge of the image/website?
I don’t want there to be any space between the side of the image/website and the opacity box. Please help.
Many thanks.
Best, Alan
Hey Alan,
Could you share the page URL so I can take a look at your settings to assist?
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar,
Thank you for taking the time to look into this for me, your help is really appreciated.
Here’s the url: https://evermaven.com/ever/
As you can see, I have the opacity box working but just not sure how to align it to the far left without adjusting the “LEFT” to -200px but that doesn’t lock the opacity box to the left if you resize the browser window. Thoughts?
Best, Alan
Hey Alan,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body .container .swiper-slide .container { position: static; }
Ahh cannot wait anymore for the Artstation icon – Font Awesome support! Release the plague already! We the Engineers need that version so we can keep terraforming our Alien planet.
Hey moth3r, the next update is still targeted for later this month

Hi there!
I need two important things:
1.- How can I make the button in the menu bigger?
2.- How can I change the slide-out of the menu mobile to be on the LEFT SIDE?
Really appreciate it your help
I leave you my URL http://buque.nathalygallego.com/
greetings
Hey WinkyTheme,
1. Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
header#top nav > ul > li[class*="button_solid_color"] > a:before,
#header-outer.transparent header#top nav > ul > li[class*="button_solid_color"] > a:before {
height: 38px;
top: -6px;
}
2. Unfortunately that would not be possible without some custom development as of now
Hi there,
ohhh number 2 it was very important to do it.
and for number 1, doesn’t work. I want to make the button bigger, from all sides
check it plz.
Hey WinkyTheme, I don’t see the CSS snippet that I provided active on your site – have you already removed it?
Hi! yes, I removed it, because it doesn’t work, so that’s why I did that. Can you check another solution plz.
Hey WinkyTheme,
The snippet provided would make the button larger from the top/bottom, if you add that along with this the size will increase from all sides. If you’re not seeing it work, please open a ticket on our support forum in regards with temporary admin credentials so we can take a closer look into this: https://themenectar.ticksy.com
header#top nav >ul >li[class*="button_solid_color"] >a {
padding-left: 25px;
padding-right: 25px;
}
header#top nav > ul > li[class*="button_solid_color"] > a:before,
#header-outer.transparent header#top nav > ul > li[class*="button_solid_color"] > a:before {
height: 38px;
top: -6px;
}
I decided to move into WP 5, I read the changelog and followed the instructions,
First, I updated and then proceed to disabled the new editor within WPbakery. Then I created a new post and edited another one, inside everything looks normal, including that annoying bug from WPbakery still forces paragraph and br tags into my text.
However, now I realize my text posts are not working properly, everything is a complete text line. No jump between paragraphs.
I thought I might need to add the classic editor, I installed it, activated it, and give it a try once again. The result was exactly the same.
Now, within my posts using WPbakery, it is strange to see some text blocks work properly and some as described. Text in fullwidth with bg color are supposed to have paragraphs, and they are gone. The main text seems to work.
Examples:
Simple text with custom sidebar on top anizeen.com/6209/demons-lords-and-city-hunters/ WPBakery columns: anizeen.com/6929/doukyonin-wa-hiza-tokidoki-atama-no-ue-2019/
Would you mind giving me a hint on what is the issue? I used the whole day with a fresh WP installation, trying to figure out what is the issue, and everything was the same.
Thanks!
Hey myuption, since we haven’t seen any other instances of paragraphs being stripped, I would need to take a closer look at the backend of the posts in question – Could you kindly reach out via the contact form on my author page? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Cheers
I sent you a message about this, I was curious if it was related to the child theme, I also updated the child theme with a fresh version and if I select the full version of the theme, the site works properly.
Maybe something is missing or not loading properly?
Thanks
Thanks myuption
Hi Nectar!
We are updating our site look and have a few questions to make this happen.
1. Portfolio “Project Item Spacing”: we want to change to full width content with no spacing and want to have 0px of “Project Item Spacing” between our portfolio project images. We also want to do the same thing (0px) for gallery image “item spacing”. 1px is the smallest value and 0px is not an option from the pulldown menu. Default doesn’t seem to be customizable. Can we add 0px to the list or make the default 0px?
2. We want to change the look of the Video Lightbox “Play button with preview image” setting. We would like to change the look of the play button (from circle to square), and add project title and client next to it. WE also want to change the button location to left section of the preview image, instead of center. How could we do this?
Thanks! Roland
Hey Roland,
1. Could you please share the actual page URL where your portfolio can be seen so I can take a look at your full settings to provide an example snippet?
2. This would partially require custom CSS for the style changes and file modding to nectar/nectar-vc-addons/vc_templates/nectar_video_lightbox.php for the custom content
Thanks in advance
how to import content,post and images from leadpages theme to frostwave theme.
Hey lokesh_nag, what demo are you trying to import specifically? When importing any of the Salient demos you can opt to only install the content and skip the theme options settings https://ibb.co/rwBrgf4
I mean to say i want to add new salient theme (Frostwave multi -layer ). Can i import all the contents, images and post present in my current theme to Salient new theme. If yes could u please provide its demo as don’t want to get stuck in future
so your theme does not support content and post of previous themes. Thanx as i would have been in trouble if i would have bought this theme
Hello, is there a way to turn on the top header menu shadow in it’s default position? It starts after the user scrolls down. Thanks
Hey BandaSonora, if you change to either the “Ascend” or “Original” theme skins in the Salient options panel > general settings tab, this will occur without the needed for additional CSS
Cheers
Hello
I Want to Show Portfolio Categories. I am using “Category Gird” But Post Type is not showing “Portfolio” under Drop Down
Sccrenshot : http://prntscr.com/mkokqv
Hey edwardkent, the category grid only supports the blog/product (woocommerce) post types as of now, in the next portfolio focused release it will likely receive the option for that post type as well.
Thanks For Reply I have one more question How to add “Global Templates” Eg: I am using “Testimonial Slider” on every page. I want to change some text On One Slide. So Now I need to change on all pages. I want to use Visual Composer Global Template So i can edit to one template it will change to All Pages
Hey edwardkent, that would be possible by using the WPBakery addon Templatera: https://codecanyon.net/item/templatera-template-manager-for-visual-composer/5195991
Thanks for updating i am using same plugin but now css is not working for some section i think css or js allow only if element in page if those element in templatera then is not working
how i can allow element css for templatera elementHey edwardkent,
Can you let me know what CSS you’re using and also share the page URL where it’s not taking effect so I can assist?
Hey ThemeNectar! Quick question, when I’m on mobile, my off canvas menu inherits the top menu items.
In my settings, I have turned off “Off Canvas Menu Mobile Nav Menu items.” And I’ve also checked my widgets to make sure nothing is active in the off canvas menu.
I’m not quite sure what I’m doing wrong.
Would love your assistance. Thanks!
Website: https://bradstraarup.com
Hey bradstraarup!
That’s the default behavior specifically for the material theme skin. To remove the menu items from showing in your mobile off canvas nav, add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body #slide-out-widget-area .mobile-only { display: none!important; }
Cheers
POSSIBLE BUG:
Owl carousel loops with autoplay, but the dots don’t loop, they stay on the last dot.
Actually, what is happening is when on loop and autorotate, the dots (on loop), ignore the 1st slide, then work for the rest.
Example, so if 3 slides in carousel:
Should be: dot 1, dot 2, dot 3, dot 1, dot 2, dot 3… etc
but what it does is: dot 1, dot 2, dot 3, dot 3, dot 2, dot 3, dot 3, dot 2, dot 3… etc
Hey OwenDevelopment, are you using the latest version of the theme (10.0.1)?
Thanks in advance
Yup, I updated to the latest version and it fixed the issue.
Glad to hear OwenDevelopment
When creating a masonry layout for the portfolio (some images wide, some tall) the same effect carries over to mobile and it looks a little inconsistent on the iPhone. Is it possible to leave the portfolio gallery as a masonry layout on the computer with variable sized but make all portfolio items the same size on mobile (preferably square). Thank you.
Hey AkeatsKes,
With the portfolio as of now that’s now possible to handle with CSS alone since the images are not set as backgrounds but rather hard cut, so the aspect ratio must stay the same. However, we’ve noted your +1 for this idea on the wishlist
Cheers
I see. Any other work around would be helpful when you guys get around to it. Thanks!
You’re welcome AkeatsKes
Hi, the “WooCommerce Products” netctar plugin (nectar_woo_products) does not seem to work. Please see https://inthesameboat.org/testing/ – it only produces the rotating little circle. I downloaded and updated to latest Salient theme version, but that does not seem to make a difference. Thanks for helping.
Hey marcfest, could you kindly try disabling the “WooCommerce Blocks” plugin which adds WooCommerce blocks for the Gutenberg editor? There’s currently a known conflict with that plugin
That fixed it beautifully. Thanks as always for your help and quick response.
Glad I could help marcfest
Is it possible to have the word login next to the account icon in the header menu. Or to have it as a button with both text and the icon.
Thanks
Hey MarcGarner,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
ul li#nectar-user-account a { width: 125px!important; }
ul li#nectar-user-account a:after {
content: 'Account';
}
Thanks that seems to do the trick, is there a way to have the text display the same colour as the rest of the header, dependent on the page using a dark or light header. For example when scrolling on the home page – http://217.199.187.195/systemsense.co.uk/ when it changes to the sticky header the “Login” text cannot be seen as it is still white.
How I have edited the css you provided:
“ul li#nectar-user-account a:after { content: ‘Login’; color: #ffffff; opacity: .6; padding-left:5px !important; font-family: ‘nunito’; }”
Hey MarcGarner, That would require css like so:
#header-outer:not(.transparent) ul li#nectar-user-account a:after { color: #000; }
#header-outer:not(.transparent) ul li#nectar-user-account a:hover:after { color: #9d24e3!important; }
Hi, there seems to be a bug in the latest version. When using the portfolio with constraint full-width + Meta overlaid-left aligned+ 10px items spacing + Masonry+ Lightbox only + Enable Sortable + Horizontal Filters. I’ve the ‘Magnific’ option selected under theme light box. The video window gets all messed up ( please note the portfolio has self hosted Video under the video settings) and also it throws an error ‘the image couldn’t be loaded’. It only happens when we click the filters but doesn’t happen otherwise. Also to add Max Website Container Width is set at 2000px & Extended Responsive Design is selected. I really need this working for a project so really appreciate some sort of fix or guidance. Thank you. Here’s a screenshot https://imgur.com/kbTynXY
Hey justconcepts, do you also experience the same issue when switching the lightbox option to the more recent script, “fancyBox3” in the Salient options > general settings > functionality tab? If so, is there anyway you could also share a test URL so I can take a closer look?
Thanks in advance
Hi, thank you for getting back. Yes, I had tried that option already and it works but without the issue but I don’t like the way the video window works whilst on “fancyBpx3” as it has an “iframe” with scrollbar. See here https://imgur.com/a/IGXfb5r . Let me know if you still require a test url with my original issue described above.
Here’s a link just in case, with the original issue as per my first comment, i.e. in ” “magnific” option. https://bit.ly/2ScVQnq
Hey justconcepts, thanks for the clarification. add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.mfp-wrap .mfp-container .mfp-iframe-scaler .wp-video-shortcode video {
width: 100%!important;
}
Hi, thank you. I’ve added this under the custom css but still shows ‘The image couldn’t be loaded’ under ‘magnific option’. I’ve also tried switching to ‘Fancybox’ option but the ‘iframe’ issue is still there too. You can check the test link. Appreciate your help!
Hey justconcepts, that issue will require a JS modification to the init.js file – it’ll be added to the next release. If you want to switch to the fancyBox3 script, I’d be glad to take a look at the iframe scrollbar issue to assist
Hi, thank you. Appreciate the response. Could you please take a look at the link again, I’ve now switched to the fancyBox3 and also applied the css as advised. Still the same iframe scrollbar issue exists. Here’s the link again, https://bit.ly/2ScVQnq
Hey justconcepts,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body .fancybox-slide > .mfp-iframe-scaler {
padding-top: 45%;
}
Hi, thanks, tried, no luck
Hey justconcepts, I’m not seeing the scrollbar appear anymore on my end – if you’re still seeing it after clearing your cache, could you try adjusting the value in the above snippet to be even lower, such as 40%
Thanks in advance
Thanks, 40% did the trick, just curious though, when you plan to update the fix on the ‘magnific’ option. Cheers!
Hey justconcepts, I’m glad to hear that. It will be resolved in the next update
