Hi Theme Nectar,
Thanks for the great template, I really enjoy it! Can you pls tell me how I can add an opt-in form, using MailChimp as a horizontal bar, on the home page, just under the home slider? Thank you so much. I appreciate your help. Kelanne
Hey Kelanne!
You can use the full width section shortcode in the top of your editor on your home page and just place your MailChimp shortcode in there (assuming you’re using a plugin for it)
Cheers 
Thank you!! Will check that out tmr Keep well
You’re very welcome and you too!
Hi ! I hope you are well, it seems that I also have that problem when people share my vlog on FB, the logo appears instead of an image, what can I do? Thank you soooo much for your time and reply, I really appreciate it! xx
Hey Kelanne! Do you have Yoast installed? The plugin gives you the option to define a custom image for every page that Facebook will see
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar! Tks! Do you mean the SEO by Yoast plugin? My page, when shared, shows that the “page is not found” but when I click on the link it does open to my blog. Since I installed the latest version of WP, I now have two logos instead of one, it duplicated when I scroll down any page of the site. Do you think I have all these problems because I updated WP? thank you so much for ur reply and your time, I really appreciate it.
The double logo issue was a bug caused by WP 3.9 but was resolved in Salient 4.0.3 – please update Salient to get the fix
As far as the page is not found error – I would need to check out the URL to see what’s causing it
Cheers
tks!!!! here is the URL : http://claireyoh.com/ton-pourquoi/ xx
Thanks!
When I click the Facebook sharing button or paste the url of that page directly into Facebook i’m seeing the actual page display properly with the image/description – how are getting the “page is not found” error to display?
oh wow! weird. that is the only vlog people did not share because they all saw the “page not found” with my logo instead of the photo and the blog text. Well, thanks so much for trying and for your answer, if the same thing happens today, I will let you know. By the way, I went back to the old version of salient as all my banners, photos, slides were all out of size etc with the new version. I still have the double logo problem though. Cheers!
If you’re back on the old version – add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel to sort it
header#top #logo #retina-logo {
display: none!important;
}
@media only screen and (-moz-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5),
only screen and (-o-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3/2),
only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5),
only screen and (min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5),
only screen and (min-resolution: 144dpi) {
header#top #logo #retina-logo { display: block!important; }
header#top #logo #default-logo { display: none!important; }
}
@media only screen and (min-device-width : 320px) and (max-device-width : 1024px) {
header#top #logo #retina-logo { display: block!important; }
header#top #logo #default-logo { display: none!important; }
}
Hi,
Just want to say that i love all the work you are doing for this theme and the afford it all takes.
I came across this website witch is selling you theme: http://themepure.com/salient/
i don’t think that’s right well?
Greetings, Arjan
Thanks Arjan! Yeah, that site and a couple others are illegally selling a bunch of themes on ThemeForest – Envato is aware of it but taking them down has proven to be fairly hard.
Thanks for taking to the time to mention it to me though, those guys indeed do suck!
Cheers
I really like your work! Before buying it I would like to know if there’s the possibility to change the colors of the site. Thank you!
Hey naryalin! Yes, you have a lot of control over the colors seen in the theme
Cheers!
Hi! Loving this theme. Any plans to add twitter feed? Thanks
Hey paulrigby! I’ll note it for the wishlist
Hi, first great theme. I’ve an issue on IE 8, theme is compatible with this browser?
Thanks!
Thanks drnoizer! Yes, there’s just one javascript line that got added in 2.1.5 that caused errors in IE8 – if you want the fix before the next release just open a ticket on the support forum
Cheers
Hi once again,
Can you tell me is there any solution how I can change font-weight for each Heading (H1, H2 etc….)? Just like you did in your demo (I guess).
Thanks, Milan
Hey again Milan,
For any headers that you see in a lighter weight – I just added the class “light” onto the headings in the text tab on the editor. This and other css classes worth knowing are documented in the user guide towards the bottom
Cheers
Great theme. One hitch, any chance you will be planning an update solving inline styles? I can’t help but notice the amount of inline styling throughout my pages which I know will not help with SEO.
Thanks nclinedigital – are you referring to the internal styles at the top of your pages? There’s a difference between “inline” & internal styles and the theme does not set inline styles except for in a few necessary places (not including the styles jQuery adds to elements after the DOM has initialized which do not count).
Using inline styles is indeed not optimal, but writing valid css internally used in a
<style>tag has no negative effect on SEO. The internal styles are used only for the dynamic styles in the theme i.e. the ones that have their values generated through PHP based on what you set in the options panel and can not reside in a static stylesheet. Robots that crawl your site will simply see it as css the same way they would if you had an external link in its place.
Cheers
<div id="fws_526dd2a182281" class="full-width-section parallax_section first-section" style="background-image: url(http://localhost:8538/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/lpbg.jpg); padding: 120px 250px 100px; margin-top: -70px; margin-left: -250px; visibility: visible; background-position: 50% 13px; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat;" />I appreciate the theme as well as the support.
I’m glad I could be of help
- in regards to your line, yes, most of that css is added from jQuery. It won’t even be visible to the robots as they don’t run javascript. If you check the raw markup in the php file for that (shortcode-processing.php) You’ll see there’s no inline styles at the time of rendering before javascript has its way with the div.
Cheers mate
Excellent. Thanks.
You’re welcome!
Hello T.N.
Great work! You’ve absolutely reinspired me to code a beter web page.
I especially like the simple format of the testimonials slider…is there a way to use this function without the quotation marks?
Maybe there’s a simpler CSS path as opposed to editing the PHP? e.g. such as making the quote marks transparent?
Thanks!
Thanks a lot TasGeo!
Unfortunately there’s no good way to remove those quotation marks with css – they would have to be deleted in the php, but it’s really a simple mod so have no fear! Open up the shortcode-processing.php file located in the nectar/tinymce directory and run a search for “function nectar_testimonial($atts, $content = null) { ” to end up at the right place. Once there, find this line:
return '<blockquote><p>"'.$quote.'"</p>'. '<span>? '.$name.'</span></blockquote>'; }and change it to this:
return '<blockquote><p>'.$quote.'</p>'. '<span>? '.$name.'</span></blockquote>'; }
Cheers!
You’re a star!
Aw, shucks! 
Hello, and thanks for a great theme!
But is it possible to add a contact section??
I want to have a full width contact section on the bottom on my front page. Is that possible?
Hey OnlineThemes!
You can indeed insert a contact form anywhere you want using the Contact Form 7 plugin or your other favorite contact plugin. I simply show it on the contact page as an example, but you’re free to place it where ever you want as contact form 7 offers a shortcode usable in any page
Cheers
Thanks for providing us with the BEST THEME we’ve ever used! Your consistent updates and excellent support are truly commendable. We get nothing but compliments on our site
You guys rock!
You’re very welcome TwoSolid, thanks for taking the time to write this!
Cheers
I would like the videos to play on ipad and iphones the same way as on-line, automatic and smooth. I do not want a youtube our vimeo link. Is there any any way of doing this??? When I purchased this template i thought it would look the same on my ipad 
Hey adfierce, it’s impossible to have autoplaying videos on devices because all mobile devices prevent that so that users don’t accidentally run up their data usage. I explain this in detail in the video tutorial for the slider. If you checked the demo on your iPad you would have also seen the video get swapped for an image too.
Cheers
Wow! Amazing theme. I have a few pre sale questions. I intend to use Salient as a wide theme…
1. Do you plan on adding ajax transitions between pages? I think I found this in an earlier comment but wanted to know if it’s a serious consideration or planned in a future update.
2. Any way to have “related blog posts” thumbnails at the bottom of a post? Example from my website: http://naomivandoren.com/stars-in-the-night-sky/
3. Can the “About ThemeNectar” be turned off at the bottom of a blog post?
4. In the masonry blog view each post is on white, can the blog posts once opened also be on white too? Alternatively the background could be changed to white for this page only…? Example: http://themes.laborator.co/zinc/post-formats/
5. This is my current website I’m looking to move over. Thinking it will be a lot of work… Any easy way to see how much? :/ http://naomivandoren.com/Thanks and a virtual hug for your help and time!
Thanks naomivandoren!
1. It’s on the wishlist but there’s no date planned for it yet.
2. That would require a plugin at this point.
3. Yes, there’s an option for that to disable it with one click.
4. That would require a little custom css.
5. Your blog posts should transfer over fine, but you’ll need to re enter your portfolio items as different theme’s tend to have slightly different inputs for that post type and things generally don’t line up automatically.
Cheers
Ah so helpful and quick! Just bought it and testing it out on a subdomain first.
4. What’s the custom css I should add to change the background for these then?
That’s great!
Enter this into your custom css box and let me know if that’s what you were looking for:
.single article.post .post-content {
background-color: #fff!important;
padding: 20px!important;
}
Oh thanks! Yes, that’s what I was thinking. Didn’t realize I would want it in other places now seeing it active on my site so I’ve just gone in made the ”.container-wrap, .post-title” white instead.
Thanks for your help! I’ll post again in a new comment with my finished website results as I know people (me) like seeing the theme being used.
Great to hear naomivandoren! I look forward to seeing your finished product!
Cheers
Hello Theme Nectar, Thanks for the fantastic theme, really easy to use and customize. But i have one problem. I like to add custom content to my footer, and even change the amount of colums inside of it. How can i do this, without changing the code footer.php? Or is this the only way to go? On the widget area all widget related to the footer are non-editable.
Hey Gridical,
as of 2.1.5 you actually have the ability to define how many columns display in your footer through the footer options tab in your theme options panel. I’m a little confused as to what you mean when you say the widget areas for the footer are non editable – they’re just standard widget areas you can drop in any widget you like into in the Appearance > Widgets tab in your admin panel.
Maybe I’m not quite getting what you’re trying to do?
Cheers!
Hello Theme Nectar, Thanks for your reply. What i ment was that there are 4 footer widget areas at the bottom of each page. I see them on the Appearance > Widgets tab but can’t do anything with them. How do i replace the “lorem ipsum” with my own content?
I am using the Salient theme, version 2.05 (recently installed). Cheers, Gridical
The lorem ipsum text only displays before you add widgets into the areas – just start dropping widgets in there and it will go away
Also, that lorem ipsum text was replaced with a simple message to add widgets in 2.1.5 to avoid confusion.
Cheers!
Hello Theme Nectar, Thanks, it’s clear as simple now . I missed the concept for that point. Cheers!
Gridical
You’re welcome!
Cheers
Hi Theme Nectar,
Comments from users are not working. I write and click on Submit Comment, but it does not appear.
I’ve also set up Wordpress to anyone can comment, without some admin approve…
Hey luckskywalker, sounds like something with your setup – There’s no known issues with using comments in Salient as that’s a basic native WordPress feature. If you want to open a ticket in regards with your site info i’d be happy to check it out for you though!
Cheers
Ok, where can I open a ticket? haha
Done.
I need to leave now… Btw, Do you sleep? 
Thanks!
- and a lot less than I would like to!
Hey Sam! Yes, because of your title mod there’s now a gap left in its place. Use this in your custom css box to correct it:
body.single-portfolio #full_width_portfolio .container-wrap {
padding-top: 0px!important;
}
.project-title {
padding-top: 4em!important;
}
Cheers!
How can I customize the link color in copyright area? Need to customize both link and hover colors… thanks!!
Hey James! Use this:
#footer-outer #copyright li a {
color: #888!important;
}
#footer-outer #copyright li a:hover {
color: #ccc!important;
}
Thanks for quick reply—however this CSS does not do the trick… please check support I’ve sent you the URL
Ticket #113930—please advise. Thanks for a great theme & great support!
Will do
Cheers
Received your solution—Thanks for the great support!!
You’re very welcome!
Hi Theme Nectar,
Fantastic design and amazing features, congratulations for giving us the opportunity of purchase and enjoy this WP theme.
I would like to ask you, if possible, if there’s any way to keep the footer (both widget area + copyright and social) fixed and sticky, always visible, not disappearing when you resize the browser window.
Thanks a lot in advance! jose.
Thanks a lot Jose!
You can add this into your custom css box to accomplish that effect:
#footer-outer {
width: 100%!important;
position: fixed!important;
bottom: 0px!important;
}
Hello Theme Nectar
I’m about to purchase your theme and wanted to know if you provide images for the Nectar Slider. I know the vikings video and the images on template are not included but do you have other images that i can use as substitute? OR should i be looking at videohive.net for videos and images after i buy the template.
Hey dhruvtech,
I include the coding video background & a few images I made, but I also list the sources for other videos used that are available to purchase in the theme user guide. The theme’s dummy data content will substitute any images I am not allowed to include with placeholders and you can easily swap your own in their places.
Cheers!
I was talking with my team about this amazing theme and we think should be a great feature to add:
1- A filter blog option like a portfolio
2- Be able to change the filtrable menu in portfolio or blog for an horizontal (traditional) menu for filter categories.
Thanks for the suggestions mzuker!
Cheers
Hi there, sorry to bother you again I’m just having a slight issue, nothing major, I have a video slide in place just like your demo, but when i visit SALIENT/HOME OPTIONS/AUTOPLAY SLIDER and deactivate it, the slider still rotates? which I can’t figure out why? also on your demo homepage slider you have little selector dots as well as arrows to move slides but I can’t figure how to get he dots to appear on mine too?
Thank you!
Hey expressivemedia!
The slider used on the current landing page demo is the Nectar Slider, no the home slider. This was added in 2.0 and a tutorial for it is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLU9Pxo_RD8
Let me know if that clears up both of your questions
