Hi,
Great work wit the theme. Here’s a first of probably many more questions to come
Is there a way to stop a video looping within the home slider?
The idea was to get the video to load upon visiting the home page and then having it stop rather than loop infinitely.
Cheers.
Hey funkysmurf,
this would take some custom development actually since there’s a few things in place within the slider script to assist in the infinite loop. The video backgrounds were designed to just be a design element rather than house an informational video but there’s video lightboxing capabilities also built in if you want to link it from a button in the slider.
Cheers
it’s seem I cannot activate the comment box on my website since I have change my theme for salient.. Is it possible to use Disqus Comment System? Thank you for your help.
Hey Marc,
yes you can use Disqus but the social network commenting inside of jetpack works better out of the box – if you need further help with it please open a ticket on the support forum 
Cheers!
I ! Very verry good theme, the best I ever download with Theme Forest, thanks !
I Can’t download my F4V. Wordpress give me the error message : Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.
Have you the solution ?
Hey andreeanne, thanks a lot!
I don’t think that filetype is supported in WordPress: http://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/

Hi, folks!
Is there any way to remove the RSS icon from the widget in the footer? (See here: http://wp.auburn.edu/ufwh2/)
It’s throwing off the alignment of the footer section and I’d love to be able to remove it or adjust the alignment somehow.
Thanks!
Hey blairalyse!
Add this to your custom css box in your theme options panel:
.rsswidget img {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers 
Font awesome conflict
For the backend in wordpress I have purchased the plugin “Modern Admin” (Wordpress Admin Theme) which includes icons from Font Awesome. It seems that in some way Salient gets affected by this when the plugin is activated.
The conflict results in corrupted icon for search, nectar slider navigation amongst others.
Is it possible to avoid having Salient get conflicted by a plugin that works in the backend?
Plugin link: http://codecanyon.net/item/modern-admin-flat-wordpress-admin-theme/5006437
Thank you in advance for any help
noticed now that the conflict only shows for users that are logged in, any suggestions?
Hey Chechin, your plugin is overriding the theme’s font awesome which contains the salient specific icons as well – I’ll move these outside of the awesome stylehseet to avoid conflicts like that going forward 
Cheers
Thank you for your reply, but how do you mean? Fix for next update? Cheers!
I mean I will take care of this for the next release – so the next update you download for Salient will fix the issue for you 
Great, thank you in advance!
You’re welcome 
Hi, On demo site You have mega menu with bold site name, for example: features->ELEMENTS or ROBUST POWER. How can I do that?
Hey maserwilu, there’s a tutorial for the mega menu here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZPPUTbvTKQ
Cheers
Ok I watched it, but how to make site name bold as i saw in the video?
The parent pages in the megamenu will always be bold by default – can I please have your link to see yours?
Cheers
You changed the font for that in your typography panel so now to overwrite that group selection, you will have to add this into your stylesheet:
body header#top nav > ul > li.megamenu > ul > li > a {
font-family: 'OpenSansbold'!important;
font-size: 12px!important;
letter-spacing: 2px!important;
margin-bottom: 5px!important;
text-transform: uppercase!important;
}
Cheers
It works!! Thanks 
You’re welcome!
Hi, is there a pure HTML version of the theme? Not for wordpress?
Hey tukulka, not yet unfortunately – sorry!
Is that in program? Anytime soon? 
There are no plans for it yet because of the large queue of items that still have priority for my development time.
Cheers 
Can I buy the wordpress theme and use only the part i need as a hand crafted html template?
Yes, of course 
Slider not loading on certain browsers… any help? Just get a black area where the sliders should be..
Hello multicade, I’ll need a URL in order to help you 
Thanks
there IT guy is claiming its because of these two errors:
Can you tell me what these errors are referring to? Can you fix these “Identifier” errors?
Message: Expected identifier, string or number Line: 529 Char: 6 Code: 0 URI: http://universityplazawaterfronthotel.com/wp-content/themes/university-plaza/js/prettyPhoto.js?ver=3.1.5
Message: Expected identifier, string or number Line: 1476 Char: 3 Code: 0 URI: http://universityplazawaterfronthotel.com/wp-content/themes/university-plaza/js/init.js?ver=1.0
I just did a quick sweep in Firefox, Chrome, Safari and IE and was successfully able to load the slider and also didn’t see any errors in the console. (You can see all script errors by simply opening your browser’s inspector and switching to the console tab). You’re on a very old version of the theme and just recently there was a cleanup of IE8 in 2.5 so maybe he was checking on that browser/version? Please get the exact browser & versions the IT guy claims the slider won’t load on so I can investigate further for you. It would also be worth checking the demo to see if you can replicate the behavior you’re speaking of to see if it’s an isolated occurrence within your own setup.
Cheers
Your correct its IE8… I just download the new version of the theme. Can I upload it somehow where I don’t lose my current settings? I don’t want the site to mess up when updating to the latest?
Thanks so much for your quick responses
Hey again, before you update you should make sure that the latest version has fixed your problem by checking the live demo in IE8. The latest version cleaned up a lot of little display bugs n the old IE, but the home slider not displaying was never an issue. You must also be aware of some of the design changes brought in 2.0 – surf through the live demo and notice some changes to the portfolio section and some icons used throughout.
As far as content goes – all of your sites information and theme settings will persist through so you don’t have to worry about that. Just delete your old copy and upload the new when you’re ready 
(no hard in making a backup of the old though in your case)
Cheers!
Was able to mirror my site again except for one area
footer-outer #footer-widgets .col ul li {
border-bottom-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.102) !important; border-bottom-style: solid !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; }
This controls the footers widget. I want this to be in white, i was able to modify it on the last version with just changing values in the style.css
For some reason the new version does not show this in the styles.css but rather saying this under firebug:
universityplazawaterfronthotel.com/:157
Can’t figure out how to make the bottom lines in latest posts in the footer to be white and match footer quick links..
again universityplazawaterfronthotel.com
much appreciated
Hey again!
Use this in your custom css box:
body #footer-outer .widget.widget_categories li a, body #footer-outer .widget.widget_pages li a, body #footer-outer .widget.widget_nav_menu li a {
border-bottom-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.102) !important;
border-bottom-style: solid !important;
border-bottom-width: 1px !important;
}
Hi Nectar,
Is it possible to add a subscribe button/field through the newsletter plugin in the call to action section?
Hey TravisLaidlaw!
You’d have to use the full width section and do it that way – the only draw back if you wouldn’t have it automatically appear on every page. However if you’re comfortable coding a little you could integrate your subscribe button to the footer.php file where the main CTA section gets created as well 
Cheers
Hey man! I’m having trouble trying to add another parallax nectar slider within the body of my pages. I’m trying to mimic something like this: http://www.google.com/nexus/5/
Problem is, the nectar slider attaches to the top of the page. What should I do in order to correct this?? Thanks a bunch.
Hey ninbin!
It only attaches to the top of the page if you have parallax set to true – just set it to false and you can use it anywhere like I am on the demo on various pages 
Cheers
Awesome. But what if I want it to parallax?
The parallax effect on the slider will only work at the top of the page since it’s more complicated than most and the calculations rely on that position. Other elements like the full width section can parallax anywhere.
Cheers
It seems like if I add a static image on the boxed homepage and ensure that it set to full size – there is something in the theme resizing it / shrinking it so it down not fit the right dimensions.
Here is a sample URL screenshot of what I am seeing of an image that should be full width of the container (1200×125) and is set to that width in the code – but obviously not displaying that way.
Screenshot: http://d.pr/i/mbUU
Any thoughts on what is causing this?
Hey bobklingler,
if you need your image to expand the full width of the boxed container you will need to use a full width section shortcode as the boxed layout still have padding on the left and right for content in the editor. When you create your full width section, just set the padding top or bottom equal to the height of your image i.e. 125 and it should work 
Cheers
It is still shrinking the image when I do that. Also – any image I place into the boxed layout shrinks from full size. Is there something I am doing that is causing this? I simply want to place an image on the homepage (it’s the company’s tagline) and let it just be an image. But when I do – the theme is shrinking it from its full size.
Screenshot: http://d.pr/i/JkR3
Without seeing a URL it’s impossible for me to know its full size, but as I said in my previous comment – there’s padding on the right and left of the sites content in boxed mode. The padding is illustrated by the red in this image: http://i.imgur.com/6yVOJ9h.jpg
So you’re image can not expand past that by default and will be resized down to be contained within. If you want it to stretch to the edge of your boxed layout, use a full width section shortcode and upload your banner as the background image. Since there will be no content in the section other than your image, set the padding of that section equal to your desired image height.
Cheers
Hi, Just wondering if when clicking on a portfolio item it is possible to have a gallery instead of 1 image? Thanks!
Hey LouisLeedham! There is a gallery slider option available to you here’s a video that goes over the process of adding a gallery, just in case you need a reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ql7B-mjDBI Skip to 2:45.
You also can place a Nectar Slider where ever you want as well 
Cheers
Is it possible to use the Nectar Slider (with the parallax sliding effect) on normal web sites? i.e. not a Wordpress site. Thanks! Excellent WP theme by the way 
...by parallax sliding effect I mean, as the user scrolls the video/image scrolls slightly as well
Hey scottwhittaker!
You’d have to take all the slider code and separate it from the theme to create a stand alone instance which would take a fair amount of work and would prove to be pretty difficult unless you were comfortable coding.
Cheers
I’m having a strange problem in the portfolio area. Gives me error on the second page of the portfolio. Am I doing something wrong? Link: http://www.groovetv.pt/fotos-videos/
Hey djminimi! Enter in a slug in your portfolio options tab of anything other than “portfolio” such as “work” or “projects” and then resave your permalinks in Settings > Permalinks 
Problem solved! thanks! 5* support!
Great to hear 
Hey,
Is there a way to edit the comments? Like on a post?
I’m using Magic Members plugin. The tags [private] turns my post just for membership. Can I put this tags on comments? Btw, I have different membership level, so I need to put this tag on specific posts.
Hey luckskywalker,
Have you asked the plugin developer about this? Salient uses the default WP way of handling/displaying comments, so I don’t thinks there’s anything specific you’d need to do in Salient that wouldn’t apply for most other themes as well.
Cheers
Ah, I’ll ask for them.
Thanks
You’re welcome! 
Hello ThemeNectar,
me again…
I just noticed a couple of things on the retina mbp that don’t work as nice as the rest…
The loading gif and the texts in the Nectar Slider under Safari (this one works actually fine on Firefox or Chrome)
It would be rad if you could find a way to change that in the future versions 
Hey again Lymf!
Thanks for mentioning – i’ll note to test for those two things 
Cheers
Hello,
Is there any chance to surf on portfolio items by click next image when open in “view larger”. I mean that can we change portfolios like galleries ?
Hey mavreyas, not yet but that’s a planned feature of upcoming releases 
Cheers
Thanks. One criticism for the theme. All pages are great except contact page. Need to be more fancy like http://www.nesrullahcakiral.com.tr/iletisim/ 
Thanks for the suggestion mavreyas 
Thanks wineservices!
Add this to your custom css box in your theme options panel:
.portfolio-items .col img {
margin: 0 auto!important;
}
Cheers!
Any chance any updates will come with a drag and drop page builder – its hard work using shortcodes when you hand it over to a client.
Hey kinkypixel,
it’s possible but not in the immediate future.
Cheers
Is there any chance to see gallery sample page at work?
I need multiple gallery pages on my site, where I can upload only images without text. With multiple uploads. Probably standard WP gallery. Is there such option? (images open in lightbox)
Thanks for reply
Hey cunfek,
adding the lightbox to the default gallery would require a javascript mod – but I intend on allowing an option for this by default soon. Also, there’s no section on the demo I can link you to which shows the default WP gallery unfortunately.
Cheers
