Where would I add a css background to the footer background? I can’t figure out exactly where that is located.
I want to add something like this: http://lea.verou.me/css3patterns/#
Instead of a solid color.
Hey superluxefibers! You can target the footer and add a bg image with this snippet:
#footer-outer {
background-image: url("http://subtlepatterns.com/patterns/triangular.png")!important;
}
I want to buy it, but first lets talk about what i need 1- a login page 2- a sign up page or login from Menu (Ajax). i need this for my users
3- it should work with wpml 4- support related post under the authers description
so do you think its a good theme for me?
Hey a1367h, you need a plugin for the ajax login/sign up from the main menu & for the related authors posts. WPML is generally supported out of the box though

Hello,
I would like to add milestones that go across the page (just as you have done in your demo), however they will only add to my pages vertically (one below the other). Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you!
Hey curiouschels, you need to add them inside of column shortcodes like this:
[one_fourth][milestone number="65" subject="Awards Won"][/one_fourth] [one_fourth][milestone number="268" subject="Completed Designs"] [/one_fourth] [one_fourth] [milestone number="37" subject="GitHub Repo's"] [/one_fourth] [one_fourth_last] [milestone number="439" subject="Cups of Coffee"][/one_fourth_last]
Cheers!
Hello Nectar!
When i Use Nectar Shortcodes – in Portfolio Page All Shortcodes Show Behind the Stuff

Hey prashant179, I’ll need a URL for this – can you open a ticket regarding if you haven’t already?
Thanks!

Hello ThemeNectar,
How can I enable parallax effect on Nectar slider when boxed layout is ON ?
The shortcode parameter parallax=”true” don’t work.
Thank.
Rico
Forget it ! I see the reason why its doesn’t work on the forum. Have a nice weekend.
Rico
Just for info the Nectar slider’s parallax effect don’t work on Safari 6.0.5 (Webkit/Mac). The slider is fixed but no parallax scrolling effect. Its work properly on Chrome (Webkit/Mac).
Hey Rico1 – the parallax effect being fixed but not animating was done on purpose (you can see the conditionals in the slider script) to help with performance issues – Safari is not as capable as the other browsers so leaving that on caused problems.
Cheers!
If i wanted to experiment with revolution slider (i like to have more text and images flying around, grabs attention) what would i delete from one of your pages, maybe the home – recent work page? Thanks (i would use nectar slide but you have no option to add my iframe code for my google virtual tours, street view !!)
Hey webworld360! You can actually insert an iframe code into the caption field as a work around – it should display on the front
Also, if you want to use Rev slider just paste the function for it in the home template and delete the entire featured div that’s currently there.
Cheers!
Hey – great changelog (posted on item details page) – really easy to naivigate, wish more themes followed your example! Also, great to be able to see documentation. I see since version 1.1 you guys have added a child theme section to the user guide – however couldn’t find in the documentation link pdf…? Cheers.
Also, related question, meant to ask – does theme come with basic child theme starter files included? Thanks
Hey hstorey!
In earlier versions extra steps were required to make a child theme work but Salient has since changed to follow standard procedures for setting up a child theme so that section was removed. There’s no included child theme setup, but getting started is super simple and I can assist you if you need help Just open a support ticket and I’ll be with you asap!
Cheers
Okay great, thanks again for clear and speedy reply. Cheers!
You’re very welcome!
Hey guys! May I ask where you got that blue video from the “about us” page on the demo? :)Thanks!
Hey Gallardooo! The source for that is noted inside of the user guide in the “Dummy Data” section
Cheers
Is there any way to download the video? (the one is about us-extended)I wasn’t able to find a link or something to it on the dummy data. Thank you very much for your time
Gallardooo,
The link isn’t in the dummy-data file, the link for it is located inside of the user guide, which is included with your download, in the dummy data section in there.
Cheers
Hi there.
When I upload an image to use as the background of a full section it blows it up and is pixelated. In most cases, I don’t mind, but is there a trick to use the image at the size you acutally created it? Thanks in advance.
Hey 6thirtythree,
the fullwidth section simply takes your image and sets it as the background for the div with the css property “cover”. To learn more about that property check out this article: http://www.onextrapixel.com/2012/03/02/using-css-background-size-responsively/ skip to the section “Background-size 101”.
If you want your backgrounds to not scale, you’ll just have to remove that property with a snippet like this:
.full-width-section {
background-size: auto!important;
-webkit-background-size: auto!important;
}
Cheers
ok..ill check it out! thanks much!
You’re welcome!
Oh I hope you don’t mind me asking you one more question. Some of the images in the background of full width sections flicker on and off on certain browsers. Have you experienced this and if so, is there a fix? Thanks again for all of your help!
...as you scroll they flicker i mean
You’re welcome!
In regards to your query – I’m not sure I have. Can you share your URL so I can check?
Cheers
Sorry if this has been addressed, but without being able to search comments, 123 pages of questions is tough to wade through.
I have the Responsive setting On, but I’m not getting anything to be responsive when I view it in my iPad or iPhone. At least it’s not very good viewed in those devices. I otherwise love the theme.
Hey Jwrbloom,
please share your URL so I can see what’s wrong for your setup – there should be no problem with the theme displaying responsively, so I assume something else is at play.
Cheers
Thanks for the reply.
No worries!
Fullwidth sections were actually given enhanced responsiveness in 2.1.5 when used just to show image backgrounds as you’re doing. Update and you should see a big difference for those
As for the page header, that’s meant to have text as well so if you’re only going to provide an image, I would suggest just using the fullwidth section as that will yield the best responsive functionality (post 2.1.5 of course)
Chers
Edit: Let me play around before I report back.
My second image (Under Armour Association) isn’t fully responsive.
Please open a private ticket in regards to this with your log in info so I can check your setup
Cheers
I’m trying to build a modular/one page site (with the “page scroll to id” plugin suggested earlier). I’m having trouble embedding the properties or function of the contact page into one of the home templates (I’d like to have the full width map, and contact details at the bottom).
What is the best way to accomplish this?
Thanks
ironmec, you would have to change the conditional in the functions.php file to load the google map library on other pages than just the contact page. If you’d rather use a plugin so you don’t have to modify the files at all that would probably be easier.
Cheers
Hi! I tested my website with google page speed, and I get this:
“Your page requires additional network round trips to render the above-the-fold content. For best performance, reduce the amount of HTML needed to render above-the-fold content.
The entire HTML response was not sufficient to render the above-the-fold content. This usually indicates that additional resources, loaded after HTML parsing, were required to render above-the-fold content. Prioritize visible content that is needed for rendering above-the-fold by including it directly in the HTML response.”
Can you please tell me how to do this?
Thank you in advance!
Hey tihmowthy, this would require a bit of finesse – have you checked out this article? https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/PrioritizeVisibleContent#structure
That pagespeed suggestion is essentially saying you should organize the requests on your server so that the visible content html, css and assets are sent first. I would check out tutorials on using W3 total cache for its various useful abilities such as minification as well. Should help with the pagespeed
Cheers
Thank you for the prompt reply.
I installed w3 total cache plugin, but it’s not much… I check your the salient demo website and your site is working fine! Can you please tell me how you resolved prioritize visble content in demo salient website?
You need to configure the W3 plugin a bit, just installing it won’t do anything. Have you looked up tutorials for it?
Cheers
Hi Theme Nectar, I am having a problem with the carousel. all the page scrolls a little when we arrive to the end of the carousel images… Do you know how can I fix it? Thanks
Hey rousalia, what carousel are you referring to? Can you please share your URL and let me know where it appears in the page so I can see what you mean?
Cheers

Hey mahiette, you can accomplish that with this snippet: (enter it your custom css box)
#boxed {
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.5)!important;
}
body .container-wrap, body .project-title, body .home-wrap {
background-color: transparent!important;
}

}

Hi ThemeNectar,
How do I embed a iframe video on top of the slide of full width nectar slider instead of a second image over the slide ?
Thanks.
Hey deepakkumarv, if you want to use an embed in the nectar slider, just paste the iframe embed code into the caption field in your slide.
Cheers
Hi and thanks for a good theme.. Is there a simple way to add all the images in a project (portfolio) to a slide.. (use the left and tight key to change pic within project)
www.danielvilhelmsson.se
Hey Newlin,
you can either use the nectar slider or the standard gallery slider like this post shows: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/dining/porttitor-porttitor-mollis-vitae-placerat/
There’s no keyboard controls for them though, that would require additional javascript development.
Cheers
About the custom CSS box. I have seen in other themes this box larger, and when you add some custom code here instead of showing this in the page HTML inline is in a custom.css or custom-css.php file, maybe you should consider this. Is far easier to use a child theme when you have many lines of custom code. The child theme didn’t work for us, will take us a lot of time to fix and debug the code, why is not working, etc.
I used to enqueue the custom css into a separate file but the process of doing that would cause server errors for around 5% of buyers since some servers will protect against allowing PHP to open and write to a file for security reasons. If having the custom css in the head bothers you, I would suggest you just create your own stylehseet it and enqueue it yourself so you can keep it external and also not use a child theme
Hi, it’s a very nice theme!
I have on problem / question. In my portfolio I want to have a Full Width Portfolio Layout. When I choose this, the auto populated project attributes will not show. There’s also no shortcode. Is there a way, that I can have full width slideshow and below a text and on the right hand the project attributes?
Thanks benzrecordings!
You can just create a normal bullet point list of items in your editor and then switch to the text tab and add the class “project-attrs” and “checks” to it like this:<ul class="project-attrs checks"> </ul>then just add this to your custom css box and you’ll have the same look
.project-attrs li {
border-bottom: 1px solid #E6E6E6;
list-style: none outside none;
padding: 8px 0;
}
Cheers
thanks! It would be nice if it will be possible in future to have this via shortcode and you don’t have to do it by hand, cause I really like, that it automatically grabs the attributes the user has checked….
Noted
Cheers
