Hello Mr. Necter LOL,
I see that you are swamped with comments and questions, that’s probably not what you expected when you signed up as a author.
Fact is your work is extraordinary, and that’s why people are so passionate about working with this theme.
I’ve asked you a couple questions already and I also have a ticket in the queue. I’m close to finished with my project, but I hope you will indulge me a bit longer and help me with another issue I can’t figure out.
If you look at the site, under the slider I have placed an orange dividing line. I used the same code as the “split-color.jpg” line, only I created my own jpg and path. I placed the code at the very top of the editable area, just under the slider.
The line does not run along the top border of the section, there is about a 10 px white space above it. I tried adjusting the top and bottom padding but this only changed the width of the line.
How can I move that line up so its flush with the bottom of the slider?
The link is here: http://www.stoneworksla.com/wp-test/
I sent you the login creds with my ticket submission but I can re-send to you if you need them.
Note: page is not finished! 
Thanks so much – DAVID
Hey David, thanks so much for your kind words!
.home-wrap .row .full-width-section.first-section {
margin-top: -42px!important;
}
Cheers!
It worked immediately and perfectly. What the hell kind of magician are you?
Glad I could help! I guess hanging around David Blaine for all those years paid off ;D
Hello.
I have question about gallery: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/gallery-only-example/How are images added to this? And how you define in which category each image goes?
Is it possible to upload multiple images at once in one page with this gallery style?
I need 3-4 pages with such gallery style on my site, and each page would be different category (wedding, nature, etc ). No text. Is that possible?
Is there option “Load more…” at the bottom, if there is more images than in your demo site?
Thank you for your reply.
Hey cunfek!
1. They are added through a portfolio post type and you can select the category for each project like you would for a blog post.
2. I’m not sure I know exactly what you mean, are you talking about having a gallery lightbox within each image or just simply uploading multiple images to the server at once to save time?
3. Yes, you can have an unlimited number of different instances of these
4. No load more yet – still in the wishlist for future development though.
Cheers!
Hey,
Ok, I’m totally confused, I have the theme and after looking at the DEMO there’s a link in the Portfolio to Gallery Only Example but I can’t find any documentation or reference as to how to do this? All the links I’m finding are either broken or talk about gallery options within the portfolio pages? How do I do this?
Cheers
Hey martyfin,
All you need to do is check the option for “Lightbox only” when generating your portfolio shortcode. If you have the latest dummy data included with v2.6.5 than a sample page for this will be included
Cheers
Dude, I’m, feeling so dumb I am simply not seeing Lightbox only in any of the menus, be it Short code generator for Portfolio, the templates or the Salient menu options? Do I have a menu setting turned off by mistake maybe?
Hey man,
It just appears you’re not on the latest release, you must be on 2.6+ to have access to that feature. Here’s where the option will be: http://i.imgur.com/TJRfkPW.jpg
Great theme, just unwrapping everything it can do, and with each new feature I discover I am increasingly impressed.
Two small things I’d love to see in the portfolio:
1. The ability to set the “lightbox only” flag on a per portfolio item basis. (rather than the current portfolio “page” basis.
So each portfolio entry would have only 1 CTA, and whether that pops the item in a lightbox, or links to the detail page would be based on the true/false of a check-box flagged on the add new portfolio item meta page.
2. I’d love for the portfolio category filters to put “child” categories in a drop down/sub-menu list from the parent. So categories could display as:
Parent 1 - Child 1 of Parent 1 - Child 2 of Parent 1 - Child 3 of Parent 1
Parent 2 - Child 1 of Parent 2 ...etc
Is this complicated to implement? – would love your help on implementing either of these.
Hey gadgetcondo!
1. This would require a fair deal of custom development as you would need to create a new option on each portfolio item to select for this and then alter the portfolio template files to respect that with new logic.
2. This is on the wishlist already and I’m gonna try and work it into a future release
If you are looking to have either of these done quickly I would suggest you consider heading to microlancer to contract a dev for a few hours to wrap this up
Cheers!
since the latest update I lost all my portfolio items and map page, but I realised this was fixed by changing page templates, but also another issue is all my footer social icons are not not aligned correctly, some are now higher than others! 
Everything was perfect in the last update but this latest one I’m not so sure I should have updated! Can you suggest a fix?
Kind regards
http://expressivemedia.co.ukHey expressivemedia,
1. Sorry for the scare, but as you know the content was not lost – the page layout just got unassigned. I mentioned on my update post there was no way around this unfortunately:
“One note for upgrading users – Please make sure the portfolio/contact templates are assigned in your “Page Attributes” box when editing the pages if you notice they are blank. Those two template files had to be renamed for the update and WordPress automatically reverts to the default one when that changes.”
2. Here’s the fix for your Vimeo and Behance icon alignment. Enter it into your custom css box:
#footer-outer .icon-be, #footer-outer .icon-vimeo {
line-height: 32px!important;
}
Cheers
Hi, quick question about Nectar Slider Size(s) I use the Nectar on top of my Home Page and it works perfect! Now, if i try to insert other Nectar Sliders as Teasers in 3 1/3 Columns below, the first one will have the same size as the Top Slider, the others not.
Any Help?
Thanks a lot!
Hey meranomaia!
Yes, this appears to be a bug that I will need to check into. Thanks for raising it
Cheers
Ok cool, so i`ll wait for the Bugfix with my Teaser-Strategy
Sounds good
Hi!
I was wondering how I can change the cart icon in the header navigation.
Thank You!
Hi “I am trying to configure the ‘nectar slider’ to have icons in place of the standard circular bullet navigation. Have mostly played around with the .css file; for example: editing the background element of class ‘slider-pagination’. Do you know a way of doing this?” That is I want to put specific icons in place of the circular bullets (ie, the round bullets with show the number of slider pagers you have). I would like to know how these icons can be shown in salient. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Great website.
Hey Vladione!
search for the rule ”.slider-pagination .swiper-pagination-switch” in your style.css
Cheers!
Hi there,
I recently purchased the salient theme with the beautifull Nectar slider. After a while I got the WebM and MP4 header installed. However, in firefox it wont play the Mp4 video in the header unless I delete the WebM file. Any suggestions on how to solve this?
Thanks, kind regards,
Bo
Hey Bo!
Without a URL I can only give you my best guess: Some servers require you to add the media types supported in the .htaccess file in order for them to parse the files. Open up your .htaccess file located in the root of your WordPress install and add this:
AddType video/mp4 mp4 AddType video/mp4 m4v AddType video/ogg ogv AddType video/webm webm AddType video/webm webmv
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar,
Thanks so much for the answer. It cleared the problem and works with both browsers.
(You might want to delete this part) I converted my video with the freemake video converter to the WebM format. Good & free program, just a suggestion
Great to hear bow777 and thanks for the info to help others
Cheers
With the last update, I’ve lost my portfolio items on the portfolio page. And also the map on the contact page. How can I fix this?
Found the solution, after the update the pages were reset back to “default template” settings.
Hey ecdj!
Sorry for that, unfortunately the templates had to be renamed and WordPress automatically reverts to the default one when that changes.
Cheers
Hey, can I use your native font with Latin Characteres?
Yes you can, just enable the option for “Load Ext. Characters in Default Font” in your typography options tab
Hi there, I followed your instructions & currently switched to using the Nectar Slider on the Homepage, however, when I updated the page all the slides do is load and none of the images are showing. Is there any way you can help me?! I appreciate any thing you can do. Thanks!!!
Hey jeremydarko!
Of course i’ll help – I will just need a URL to be able to diagnose your issue
Cheers
Hi, ThemeNectar thanks for your swift reply. I followed your instructions clearly in segueing from the Home Slider to the Nectar Slider. alas it did not work. All of the images are still on the server, but when I saved the Slider it only loads as completely black & it also created another section after the Slider with blank space. Here is the URL: http://www.notbythehour.net/ – I appreciate anything you can do. Cheers!!
Hey Jeremy!
You just need to unassign the home template from your page attributes box on the home page. Change it to default
Cheers!
Ok. Thanks so much. Is there a way I can still assign the recent posts & or portfolio pieces to the home page if I remove the attributes?
Yes, there are now shortcodes for those items
Cheers!
Thanks for all your support. I have highly recommended you as one of the top Elite Authors on ThemeForest and I have shared your theme various times to my network. Cheers!!!
Thanks so much Jeremy, that means a lot!
Hello, I just want to say that the last upgrade with the fullscreen masonry blog is exactly what I was looking for ! Best regards, Erik Echo
Hey Erik! Really glad you dig it
Cheers
Hello Theme Nectar! wonderful theme indeed!
But I just have a pre-purchase question.
Can I add icons into Carousel?
I want to put our team member’s mobile numbers and e-mail addresses into carousel items. (maybe I could use ‘mailto’ html too.) but all I can see is just plain texts and social links on the demo…
is it works well? :3
Hey stumpynami! Unfortunately icons can’t be used in that shortcode but if you just don’t use the team member shortcode and create your own structure in a column shortcode, you can do whatever you want. It actually wouldn’t be too hard to just put an image in a column shortcode and use divder shortcodes to replicate the look of the team member one.
Cheers
Ow Thanks
You’re welcome
Two quick questions
1) Can’t get the buttons to center when I go to Add button shortcode, it is always on the left
2) Did try it 4 times with clean install still can;t get all the pages imported from your xml file, only 10 of them come in. Could you please share the code for all of your demo somewhere else so we can use it?
3)Trying to find the video you have of the city fly through. Did you buy it at VideoHivve ? Thanks so much in advance ! Your work is truly amazing, inspiring and exciting to become a part of Thanks for the hard work to build this ! Please make it easy for some of us to have a Visual Composer in the next update
Hey alp,
1. Check the option for centered text in your column shortcode.
2. You should have 20+ pages, i’ve never heard of an instance only 10 going in. I would suggest you open a ticket in the forum so I can go in there and try and import it for you.
3. The source for that is listed in the dummy data section of the user guide
Cheers
Hello ThemeNectar, i have a few question about portfolio page: 1) Can i use masonry style in a single-portfolio page? (for gallery) 2) How to make a portfolio page like a Gallery-Only Example in salient demo? can i use multiple image in one portfolio?
Thank you guys, i really love your theme !
Hey minyakbumi!
1. Technically you could, you’d just have to create a category which you would only display in your project page.
2. You can use that by checking the option for lightbox only when generating your portfolio shortcode – and unfortunately there’s no way to make each project have its own gallery lightbox on the main project page.
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar, do you know if there is any translation of .po/.mo files to portuguese?
Hey kostaev, unfortunately I don’t have that to give but if you want to start a thread on the support forum someone else may
Cheers
I just upgraded to the newest salient theme from the older one and now all of the custom featured thumbnails for each of my projects aren’t showing up on the portfolio page ?? They are showing as blank.. See here: // http://jlabaw.com/portfolio-page/
Help?! Thanks!
Looks like I fixed that issue.. only thing not right as of now is the “category filter” not showing up above the work and below the nav in that horizontal column there in dark grey…
Hey jlabaw8216, have you checked the box to enable sortable in your project configuration box? That box is located on the right hand side of your portfolio edit page screen.
Cheers
Aha, that worked. Thanks!
You’re welcome!
I love your Salient theme but have a couple questions regarding our website now that I have it uploaded and configured (http://www.newhorizonsacademy.org/): 1. Can I not create unique sidebars for different pages? All I find that I can do is to have a unique side bar for the blog posts and another for standard pages (and I can move them back and forth from left to right. However, I do not see where I can create a unique sidebar for different pages. 2. Why does the lightbox functionality not work on the photo galleries? I don’t see anything in the documentation on how to get that function to work.
Hey Mrychener,
1. To show unique widgets on various pages you can use a plugin like this.
2. The lightbox is not hooked up to the default WordPress gallery by default – this is a feature that will be coming in the next release most likely.
Cheers

Hey soprint,

Thanks
