Is there a way to scale video in Nectar Slider on mobile?
My slide has using MP4, WebM and OGV on our slider and testing out in iOS Safari & Chrome. The video is cropping large areas at the moment.
https://picturesmith.tvHey Picturesmith,
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: 690px) {
.parallax_slider_outer .swiper-slide .video-wrap video {
height: 400px!important;
}
}
Cheers
Thanks for sending this over.
I’ve added this to the bottom of the Custom CSS but it hasn’t made any difference. Does it matter where in the CSS it sits?
Hey Picturesmith, it looks like some “pre” tags accidentally got pasted in with the snippet in your custom CSS box. Please remove those so that the CSS can take effect.
this is making my OCD go crazy haha. why is this line and stars not lined up? https://imgur.com/egnPF1H thanks again https://skipthebus.com/day/
Hey brianfreeman,
The fix for that will be included in the next featured based update – add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body[data-col-gap="40px"] .vc_row-fluid .span_12.testimonial_slider {
margin: 0;
}
Cheers
[Suggestion]
https://i.imgur.com/xOCFc7E.pngEverywhere you can load default theme icons, you have the option of customizable PNG icons.
That is, with this option I can use my custom icons.
Having two fields: Field for Light Version and another field for Dark Version.
Hey ofmarconi, thanks a lot for the request! 
Just correcting … It wouldn’t be Dark Version, but:
Normal Version and Hover Version.
Did you understand 
Hey ofmarconi, THanks for clarifying
How do you get new these fancy boxes? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ggb4dOrjgcF_OT1ACuyyK_5e9F7cLv5t/view
Hey siahjr, The fancy box style is called “Description on hover” and was added in v11 of Salient. If you’re on that version, you’ll also be able to find example fancy box setups using that style in the Salient studio under the “new” category.
Cheers
Good day- My visual Composer boxes are blank.. I have updated to the latest theme and plugin versions, I have checked for conflicting plugins, I cannot find anything that is causing a conflict. I’m hoping you can help me out and shed a little insight on what may be going on! Thanks a million! I LOVE this theme and the work you guys do- but need the VC to work : )
Hey stewartrleigh, kindly reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page so I can take a look at the setup https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks
Hey there- actually I updated to 5.3 wordpress and the problem no longer exists : ) Thank you for your speedy reply!!!
Glad to hear stewartrleigh

Hi my issue is with the 3 flipboxes that have all different heights, even if i have ticked the box “Equal height”. My website is : www.thetruexperts.com . thanks for your help
Hey massimopavone,
The ”Equal height” column option only applies to the actual column itself – not child elements. In order to have your flip boxes all remain the same height, you would need to set the “min height” option on all four of them to be taller
thanks . Do you have an option to set a max height? otherwise they look to big. Furthermore, is not normal to have a big difference if i compare the preview function vs the live site? In the preview the flip boards looks the same while in the live site they are different . thanks in advance
sorry just correcting some typos: thanks . Is available an option to set a max height? Too avoid to have too big flip boxes. Furthermore, is it normal to see a big difference in the visualization of the page between the preview function vs the live site? For instance in the preview the flip boards look all the same size while in the live site they are all different . thanks in advance
Hey massimopavone,
1. Max height would need to be set via CSS – can you share the page URL so I can take a look at the boxes you have?
2. There should not be a big difference, there’s a small amount of padding added for the element/row controls on the front-end editor though. 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
Thanks in advance
Thanks I have find out what is causing the difference in in height of the flip boxes. Now they look all the same.
Glad to hear massimopavone
Can I use the same licence for localhost install and after that on live migrated website
Hey elvtdigital, yes – you just need a separate license for every live instance on a domain.

Password page can not be changed and translation does not show in Salient. Plugins for editing the password page also don’t work. Everything okay if we change the theme to “Storefront”, so narrowed it down to a bug in Salient. Anyone have a solution? We desperately need a fix.
After 2 days at this I can see that salient is overiding the function with nectar_custom_password_form. How annoying that it is overiding a core function with another function that is the same. And as it doesn’t have a POT file it breaks the translation too…
Hey rednosemonkey, When adding a filter on the ‘the_password_form’, you need to specify a priority higher than the default (such as 100 as I provided in my last example) to ensure it runs after the current theme filter. The text string for the password field is contained in the salient/lang/nectar_salient_strings.pot file
Thank you. Where is the po/mo files for this POT?
You can generate a .po/.mo from the pot using your desired plugin of choice such as loco translate/wpml/poedit etc.
Thank you!
You’re welcome rednosemonkey
Hey Nectar! Quick question. Where is your favorite place to grab stock video? In some of the demos you have the coolest liquid ink backdrops, where do you find that?
Also do you know where I could find something like this? In the background?
Hey lnbbroductions! I used pond5 for the ink stock video on the frostwave demo However, recnetly I’ve been using sites like mazwai.

When using lazy loading on images almost every time Google page speed gives warning. Avoid an excessive DOM size.
And example of code it shows is this: class=”size-full wp-image-11337 alignleft lazyload”
Also, can you please add alt and title tags to the gravatar images used on the comments? All the SEO tools flag these too.
Thanks
Hey toolbox101,
1. Can you share your page in regards?
2. Gravatars are handled through WP, Salient doesn’t alter the output – there is not title/alt output by default: https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Gravatars
If you scan the new demos, (have not test the old demos yet) on Google page speed tool you will see the DOM error.
I think this DOM warning on Google Page Speed has to do with the quality of the code.
It would be great if you could cut down the HTML code the theme writes, but then again this could be visual composer issue too.
Hey toolbox101, it has to do with the amount of elements, and type of elements used on a page – as per the pagespeed guidelines:
1. Has less than 1500 nodes total
2. Has a maximum depth of 32 nodes
3. Has no parent node with more than 60 child nodes.
Nothing in Salient would create a scenario for 2 or 3, but if many elements are used you could eventually reach over 1000k nodes.
I think it is the page builder because it puts everyone inside a tag.
Do you have plans of using Elementor instead of Visual Bakery?
Hey toolbox101, It’s a possibility in the future, but there are no concrete plans to switch to Elementor
Is it possible to align the product prices in catalog mode ? I have prices lower than others since the titles are longer they push down making the prices not aligned.
Hey kebecweb, can you please share your URL in regards so I can see your setup?
Thanks in advance
Right now the home page below the top panel is setup like a checkerboard – four rows setup with two columns each.
Writing (1) – Image (2)
Image (3) – Writing (4)
Writing (5) – Image (6)
Image (7) – Writing (
On my phone, it straightens the rectangles out to Writing 1 Image 2 Image 3 Writing 4 Writing 5 Image 6 Image 7 Writing 8
I want the rectangles to go: Writing Image Writing Image Writing Image Writing Image
Each row has a custom CSS class of class= services I’ve given each column it’s own class. The writing ones are class= home-main. The image ones are class= home-secondary. The CSS
So the CSS for screens up to 800px…
.services {
display: flex;
flex-flow: row;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}.home-main {
order: 1;
}.home-secondary {
order: 2;
}Should this work with your theme?
Hey Jwrbloom,
Give each of the rows that need to reverse a class such as “mobile-reverse” and then add this into the custom CSS box,
@media only screen and (max-width: 800px) {
.row-reverse > .span_12 {
display: flex;
flex-flow: row;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
}
I appreciate the reply, but that didn’t change anything.
Hey Jwrbloom, I can see the snippet appearing in your page markup, but it appears there is some extra HTML entities that got pasted in with it that are stopping it from taking effect. Could you please open a ticket on our support forum in regards with temporary admin credentials so we can take a closer look?: https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Thanks in advance
i have this theme since a couple of years already, but now i try to use contact forms and i encounter that the label section dosnt show up at all, have to switch to other theme to get it to work but not a single contact form plugin works now
Hey eddpfn, Are you using a recent release of Salient (v10.5+)? Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look at the setup to help.
Thanks in advance
Hi Im having problems with the size of the text on the project title. When you look on a mobile the text is to large and overlaps. Here is the link to one of my portfolio items: http://www.brownz-creative.com/portfolio/alm-magazine When you look at it on a phone the ALM and Magazine text is large and overlaps. Could you advise why? Cant find where to make this text smaller. Thanks Alex
Hey Alex, in the Salient options panel > Typography > navigation & page header tab, do you have a font size specified for the “Page Heading Font”? After you have a value set, you can use the Typography > Responsive settings tab to control how much your headings shrink on mobile. The heading tag used for the portfolio title is an h1
Hiya, I updated the website to the newest version, however any pages where I utilised shape dividers as headers now have a margin above them. This happens in different browsers and logged out of WordPress too. However it doesn’t occur on my staging site which also has the same version. Any ideas?
Hey rsuproniuk, Thanks for sharing your URL. I would need to inspect the setup closer without the css minification active. You can fix it for now by adding this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body:not(.nectar-no-flex-height) .container-wrap {
padding-top: 0;
}
Great, that worked Thanks a lot
You’re welcome rsuproniuk

Thank you! Can you please help: at screen resolution from 1390 to 1155 and from 1000 to 690 instead of two columns one is shown on portfolio layout, and the second item is transferred. on this page: https://beta.mserge.com/works/

Hello when you plan to release update for yout theme to cover the woocommerce template core files when out of date. I have update the wordpress in 5.3 and woocommerce is 3.8.1 i have 2 files for woocommerce template outdated, now and before updating. With kind regards
Hey giovannigr,
There will be an update soon, we’re just waiting on WPBakery to release their minor release to bundle that in as well.
There is no conflict from the two WooCommerce files which are now out of date, the changes that they received are very minor and will not affect your store.
Cheers
Hi, where can i find the “View Project” Link from Fullscreen recent project slider in the Salient Files. I want to remove the “View Project” Link and but it on to “Project-Info” Text shown for each portfolio item. Is this possible? Thank you for your answer!
What i mean is, i want to add the “View Project” Link to the “Project-Info” as well.
Hey senor_sonar,
The template file for that is located in wp-content/plugins/salient-portfolio/includes/frontend/shortcode – once inside, search for the string ”//fullscreen” to end up at the correct location.
Cheers
Thank you! That was damn easy now! Great work, great theme, great team!
Glad I could help senor_sonar

Hey A_K, If you enable the option “Disable Fade Out On Click” in the Salient options panel > page transitions tab, it should correct that
Thanks! Unfortunately that didn’t seem to fix anything. They’re still essentially dead links on desktop.
Hey A_K, I’m able to see the email client popup display on my end when clicking them. So far I’ve checked Chrome/Firefox on Windows/Mac – can you let me know the browser and OS you’re using?
Cheers
Weird! Well that’s good. On mobile all the links are working for me, but not on any of the browsers you’ve mentioned. I’m on mac OS 10.15.1. Must be a different issue for me. On chrome when I click I see in the bottom left of the browser the proper link appears, it just doesn’t take me anywhere. Perhaps it’s an isolated issue…
Fantastic Theme Thanks Guys!
I’m having issues displaying more than 40 images in the gallery here’s the url – hope you can help
Many thanks, Andy
Thanks Andy
Are you unable to add the images to the gallery element itself or are you only not seeing them display on the frontend?
Cheers
