Hi, the link in the upper left corner of my portfolio pages is connecting to the wrong url, but I don’t know where in the admin panel I can change it. Can you please advise? Thanks!
Hey jluszcz! A new option was added in regards to this in the latest release. The update is pending with TF and should be available to download shortly!
Cheers
Great theme! However I have noticed that I do not have a short code generator button in my ‘page’ editor. Any help appreciated.
Thanks TravisLaidlaw! The shortcode button moved on top of the editor next to the add media button and is now a blue button that says “Nectar Shortcodes”. If you don’t see that please open a support ticket in regards so I can check your setup for you 
Cheers!
Hi,
May I ask, what is the logo font?
Thanks!
Hey ThematiCSS! It’s brandon-grotesque
Cheers
Keep trying to install the theme, getting this error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare be_get_previous_post() ....../wp-content/plugins/previous-and-next-post-in-same-taxonomy/previous-and-next-post-in-same-taxonomy.php:22) in /home/.....s.php on line 1826
Thoughts?
Update: Had to just reset my wordpress database and lose all my work, but at least it works now. Sorry!
Sorry to hear that pixelb, but I’m glad you sorted it!

Hi There,
Thanks for this theme, it is truly the most comprehensive theme I have ever come across.
Quick question – the about page has a nectar slider running a video of the city with a blue layer on top. Is this opacity layer built in to the video or have you somehow layered short codes?
Thanks
Thanks a lot daisy24! The blue color was added during the actual video editing – there’s no inbuilt options to do that in the theme.
Cheers
Hi I wish to add a font to be used through out the whole theme. If I go into salient and select typeograhpy options and use custom the font I want is not in your drop down. So I went to gernal settings and added custom css:
font-family: “Lucida Grande”, “Lucida Sans Unicode”, “Lucida Sans”, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
This does not work either.
What is going to be the best way for me to use the Lucida Grande font in the whole theme? Thanks people!
Hey mike-y, you can accomplish it through the custom css box, you just need to make your rule specific enough to override the theme rules. Try something like this:
body, body p {
font-family: “Lucida Grande”, “Lucida Sans Unicode”, “Lucida Sans”, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif!important;
}
That should take care of all the main text, but for specific ares like headers, nav, captions etc you’ll need to add to that selector to target your desired elements.
Cheers
Hi, I purchased your theme and love it!! I got one question: How do I change the Text in the boxes when you hover your portfolio item?
here’s a screenshot:

Hey Paul! To alter that text you need to open the page-portfolio.php file located in the root of your theme folder and do a find & replace for those words.
Cheers
Hahaha, so don’t know if anybody else has tried this, but you can totally upload GIFs as the preview image as a “fallback” for mobile browsers to “fake” video. Awesome. ThemeNectar, you should put that in the info so people know!
Hah! That’s one way to get around the barrier – nifty idea djoliverm! Thanks for sharing
Cheers
Hi, I’m trying to make the hoover on the tabbed section a bit darker and tried to find the right code but when I copy this into the custom css it doesn’t work
.tabbed > ul li a:hover { background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08); }
Thanks for your help!
.tabbed ul li a:hover {
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08)!important;
}
Cheers!
Thank you!
You’re very welcome!
On portfolio pages, black bars are showing up at the top and bottom of my Vimeo hosted videos which are 1280×720. I’ve made the iFrame 615×346, and it crops it right for a split second, then adds the black bars. I need them to be perfect. Please help thanks.
Here is an example page http://auragraphic.com/portfolio/wsj-citibank-ar-ad/
Hey Joel,
you can’t set a pixel size for your videos because they must change sizes to fit all the various screen sizes in a responsive manner. If you want to alter the proportions – add this into your custom css box in the theme options panel and adjust until it’s perfect:
body .iframe-embed {
padding-bottom: 52.2%!important;
}
Cheers
Hi,
On creatieveweg.nl the slider-images on the main-page, especially the second one, is not proportioned correctly. Can you help me or tell me what’s wrong?
Kind regards!
Hey Buerra!
You’ve uploaded images with varying height & proportions – if you want to get them all exact, use the Nectar Slider instead (it’s more accurate in regards to scaling and proportions throughout all viewports) and upload all your images at the same height you set the slider
Cheers
That is because the Nectar Slider is only available on one page and can’t be used on multiple pages with different images in the sliders. The Nectar Slider was copied customary by one of the programmers I was referred to by you, but he doesn’t seem to reply to my messages anymore. Is there a way to fix this in a different matter?
You’re referring to the Home Slider, not the Nectar Slider. The Nectar Slider was added in v2.0 and can be deployed an unlimited number of times showing unique sets of slides on each instance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLU9Pxo_RD8
Cheers
Ah, that’s my bad bro. I’ll install 2.0 then .
No worries at all
Cheers!
Hello!
I am thinking of buying this theme. I have one question. What would be optimal way of adding a events calender? Do you happen to know any plugin that is supported already? It’s quite hard to pay first 55 dollars and then guess if any plugin works, so sorry for this random question. And thank you for the answer already!
Hey mrusila, there’s not an official recommended events calendar for Salient, but if you have one in mind you want me to quickly test for you just say the name and I’ll try to get to it tomorrow
Cheers
I would like to use this: http://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/
Most likely I would just setup a page with it from the navigation bar. But if you can test the widgets that would be great too.
Thank you for your help!
ps. I mean the free version, not the pro
This bug is back, maybe you can fix this one again?
estebanjuela PURCHASED 7 months ago Hi, i have a problem with child theme, style.css not overriding parent. The content of style.css in child theme is: /* Theme Name: Salient Child Description: Child theme for Salient Author: Name Template: salient */
@import url(”../salient/style.css”);
blockquote { font-size: 16px; }
Please help me, I dont’t know what is wrong

estebanjuela, thanks for buying the theme! I really appreciate it
There was a bug found yesterday that causes the child themes stylesheet to not override the parent correctly. The fix for it is going to be included in the next release. For now, to fix it on your end, open up functions.php. On line 103 change the segment:
get_template_directory_uri() to
get_stylesheet_directory_uri()
Hey Eksit69, the theme still uses get_stylesheet_directory_uri for the main stylesheet – just check in your functions.php
wp_register_style("main-styles", get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . "/style.css");
If you’re having issues with your child theme please open a ticket with more information regarding the matter
Thanks
Only when I change the code on line 6 of funtcions.php I can get my childtheme working. By the way I do use version 2.1. But I am fine now
The line in question for the main stylesheet I linked above is on line 116, line 6 is just the nectar framework constant declaration. It’s very weird changing that fixed your issue – but i’m glad you sorted it.
Cheers
Can I set the video background slider to full page but have the menu visible? Can I set that slider to full page at all??? I can not find anything about it, sorry.
Also, “Fully Customizable” sounds great but how, is there anything like a page builder or similar to this? For example: Could I create different blog pages, each of them addressed to a certain category?
Thanks for any info on that.
Mark
Hey Mark,
1. There’s a fullscreen option coming in the next update for the Nectar Slider to allow it to always occupy 100% of the users window.
2. There’s a shortcode generator – basically all the layouts you see are built from the theme’s shortcodes and you can easily create your own layouts or just modify the existing prebuilt ones if you like
Cheers
Okay, sounds great but did not answer my question. Can I create different blog pages where each blog page is addressed to a certain category?
Also, if you plan on doing a full page slider option, you may think about an option to reduce, for example the #header container, from it. Most user wants to keep their header section but then want the slider fill the remaining space of the window. You know what I mean?
Is there an estimated date for the update because I have to decide now which theme I use for my next client.
Thanks
Mark
Hey again Mark – sorry for the delay,
1. Yes you can
2. The release it now out – check the live demo!
Cheers
what version number is the newest release? TF is showing 2.1
Please check my comment made 18 minutes ago on here in regards
Hi, this may be a very daft question, but how do I install a new version of the theme?
Hey mfrej, you just need to download the theme again from ThemeForest, delete your old copy and upload the theme. All of your site’s content and theme settings will persist through so don’t worry about that
Cheers
Hi,just want to know will you think about to add a related project area in the Portfolio? I do want it… I try to by another theme…however they are not as nice as your one > <
Hey toiji! Yes, it’s still on the to-do list
Cheers!
That’s cool! I will stick in your theme~~ your are the best
Thanks & that’s good to hear!
Cheers
Hey @ThemeNectar, how can I remove the Search Option from the Header, I disabled it in the settings and also tried remove it from the header.php but it still shows?
Hey Blackfusio, the option in the admin panel is actually only to remove the AJAX functionality from the search – not remove it all together. For that, see this in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/52594/search/
Cheers!
thanks
You’re welcome!
Are there theme options to make text smaller across the board? I’d like to make it bigger in both the top nav menu and in body text, footer, etc.
(If it’s a question of simple CSS changes that’s ok, but can you outline what the scope/complexity of that would be?)
Hey AMcDermott!
Yes there are options for this – you have complete control over the typography settings for all areas of the theme through a user interface.
Cheers!
I was thinking of buying this, but one thing is stopping me. I would like to have 2 portfolio sections on my home page with filters. One for my personal work and the other for my students. My current theme doesn’t support that. Does Salient support this? Check out my site to see what I mean. http://keoheng.com/
Hey hanger102, this will be possible in the next release coming soon!
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar!
Is there a way to make large icon static (without hover) when they are called throught column like this example:
[one_fourth centered_text=”true”]
icon size=”large” image=”icon-desktop” color=”Extra-Color-1”
Some user get confused when they hover the icon because they thought that there is a link on they icon…
Also, would it be possible to load a tooltip on hover like this theme does for the services section from homepage: http://themeforest.net/item/visia-one-page-portfolio-joomla-template/full_screen_preview/5908689Would it also be possible to add a button on nectar slider that load the same smooth page down like the “Learn more” button of this theme on home page slider: http://themeforest.net/item/visia-one-page-portfolio-joomla-template/full_screen_preview/5908689
Thanks in advance!
JP
Hey JP,
1. You could either delete the css rules in place that create that effect or you could simply upload an image instead of using the icon shortcode.
2. This would require a plugin of some sort as no tooltip is currently built-in.
3. This would also require a plugin for animated scrolling links. Here’s a solid one: http://wordpress.org/plugins/page-scroll-to-id/
Cheers!
Hey ThemeNectar!
Thanks for your reply… as always… you give answers that go beyond our expectations!
What an incredible support!
Thanks again for your suggestions.
Cheers!
JP
You’re very welcome JP!
