It’s working great! Though is there a way to set the default category for a portfolio page to something else than “All”? I want the user to be able to allow sortable, but initialize the page to “Featured”. 
Hey BigRoyNL! Yes, as of 2.6.5 you can indeed set your own starting category when using the portfolio shortcode – you’ll see a dropdown for it
Cheers!
How can i add “Out Of Stock” badge or “Sold Out” badge on product thumbnail like “Sale!” badge?
Hey anto99,
the default WooCoomerce functionality for out of stock items is just to display the “Out of Stock” notice on the single product page and replace the add to cart button with a read more button on the product listing page. To get a badge for out of sock items you’d need to do a little custom modding.

Hello,
Does this theme support the UberMenu plugin? If it does, you have a new customer 
With kind regards, Jay
Hey Jay! UberMenu actually provides an integration guide/child theme for this http://sevenspark.com/docs/ubermenu-salient
Cheers!
Hi ThemeNectar,
I currently have Salient installed v1.6 and absolutely love it. My website developer sent me version 2.6.5 to update to, but once loaded the theme seems to have lost its responsive abilities.
Fortunately I’ve only loaded it on my test site, as I’m too frightened to load it onto my live site. Any assistance you can offer to this tech-challenged fool would be most appreciated. Here’s the URL for my test site: http://www.online.dymondinstitute.qld.edu.au
Thanking you 
Hey RysarGroup!
Since you’re making a huge jump in versions, please ensure that you:
- Have the responsive design option enabled in your Salient options panel.
- Have cleared your cache.
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar – thank you so much for your prompt advice! It was entirely my fault, as I hadn’t enabled the responsive option!
Version 2.6.5 is amazing – I love its functionality
Sorry to have pestered you. Thanks again. Cheers, Russell
No worries at all!
Cheers
Can the top menu be made sticky on mobile device? I just tried your demo on my iPhone and it scrolls.
I was about to purchase your theme until I tried it with Safari. It worked great in FireFox but it brought my Safari to a slow crawl. My client is using all Macs with Safari, so it’s a bit of a problem.
Do you have a solution to this problem?
Is there an online demo of the backend?
Hey nopez4you,
1. Yes with css but it’s not recommended since a fair deal of mobile devices still glitch when using the css property of fixed.
2. You can disable the smooth scrolling/style scrollbar to increase performance in less powerful browsers/setups.
3. There is not, but there is a video tutorial series that should give you a good idea of how everything works http://www.youtube.com/user/ThemeNectar/videos
Cheers!
Hi, i’m not sure if this is 3.8 related but i have notice that I can’t add any more menu items to the mega menu. When I add a new page link, it un-checks the checkbox at the bottom for the nav menu location and can no longer add menu item under mega menu column. hope my explanation make sense…
Hey kaifanun!
I’m not sure I know what you mean exactly – testing on my end I can still add/edit items within the mega menu as normal and no reports stating otherwise have come through. Would you be willing to open a private ticket http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ so I can take a look at your setup to see what you mean?
Cheers!
no its not 3.8 related. I was able to duplicate the same issue on previous versions. It appears there is a limit on menu items.
Interesting, i’ll take a look into that – how many do you have?
Cheers
Hi, I don’t know if someone else have complained about it, but I have an issue with Adsense. Long time ago, ThemeNectar was loading twice adsense. I don’t know what you did, but you fixed it in Salient 2.1, but just in the web version.
When I go into my web in my smartphone or tablet (both android), it still happens: adsense keeps loading twice.
If you need it, I can send you my web through e-mail.
Hey 01010111!
I haven’t heard reports of that no, but shoot me the URL and i’ll take a look – I assume you’re on the latest release, correct?
Cheers
Hi Nectar !
how to adjust the opacity of the color on the hover effect on the thumbnails in the portfolio page. I would like to have more transparency. thanks !
Hey youyou78!
Open up the init.js file located in the js folder and search for ”//portfolio item hover effect” to end up at the right place. Down from there you’ll see this:
$(this).find('.work-info-bg').stop().animate({
'opacity' : 0.88
},250,'easeOutCubic');
simply modify the 0.88 to whatever number you want the opacity to be
Cheers
Thank You
You’re welcome
Hey virplay, there’s no styling for that yet but there is basic integration with buddypress
Cheers
So can I instal and use bbpress?
You can, but you’d need to create styling for it to look nice
You mean some CSS retouch? I have some CSS knowledge, or I need a hig level CSS? thx
I haven’t tested with it so it would be hard to say – no harm in activating it to see though
Hello,

Can you help me out?
Thanks a bunge
Hey FKKR,
enter this into the text tab on your editor:[one_third animation="Fade In" delay="0"] [one_sixth] [icon color="Accent-Color" size="regular" image="steadysets-icon-atom"] [/one_sixth] [five_sixths_last] <h3>Web Development</h3> Phasellus enim libero, blandit vel sapien vitae, condimentum ultricies magna et.

I am seeing several major differences when viewing my site in Safari. One of which (even happens in the Beyonce link referenced above) is that the search glass wraps to its own line.
URL: http://www.annaleegordon.com/h20/
Also – the main images are cutting off in a weird way as opposed to in Firefox or Chrome. It’s moving the image up and adding black under the images. Again – this is not happening in FF or Chrome.
Is there a way to fix this – or take the search out completely?
Hello bobklingler!
Your navigation is actually out of room on the small desktop view (safari apparently is calculating the column width by a few pixels different so it breaks into two rows only on that browser). Also, if you load the window with a split navigation like that the Home Slider will calculate off as well – if you loaded the site in Safari on a larger window you would see it behave normally.
To solve this without removing the search, add this into your custom css box:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1300px) {
body header#top nav ul li a {
padding-left: 7px!important;
padding-right: 7px!important;
}
}
Cheers
This is great – but the search icon is still wrapping. I am looking on both my Macbook and my Thunderbolt Monitor (large). Is there a code that can just cloak the search field all together?
Yes, of course
Here’s the ticket that explains how to: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/52594/search/
Cheers!
Hey, This theme looks amazing and great features! Just a question, I would love to have sticky navigation in this theme – would that be possible?
Thanks!
Hey wieke!
Are you talking about a sticky navigation aside from the main header navigation which is already fixed at the top? Please elaborate a little more on your wants so I can clarify
Cheers
I have two questions:
1. Is this template ready for 3.8? 2. Where can i see user projects with your template?
Hey gOlLiTo,
1. Yes it is
2. I don’t have an archive of user examples but people post their URL’s in here all the time for questions so you should be able to find a bunch of use cases.
Cheers!
Hi,
does SALIENT support/styles:
- modals, tooltips and popovers (bootstrap3 inspired)?
Thanks!
Hey gehrkensit,
There’s a lightbox built in that has the same style to what you see in portfolio when clicking the view larger button. However, there’s no built in tooltips as of now so that would require a plugin.
Cheers
Hey Phil!
I just have a quick question regarding the sharing feature. Particularly Twitter. Is there a way to add a bit of text to the end of the tweet when I click on the Twitter Sharing button? I want it to say “via @GarethBolton” at the end of the tweet if it’s possible.
Thanks!
Hey Gareth!
Yes, it’s possible but you’ll need to mod the JS a little. Just open up the init.js file and locate this line:
window.open( 'http://twitter.com/intent/tweet text='+$(".section-title h1").text() +' '+window.location, "twitterWindow", "height=380,width=660,resizable=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,location=0,scrollbars=0" )
now simply change it to this:
window.open( 'http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text='+$(".section-title h1").text() +' '+window.location+' via @GarethBolton', "twitterWindow", "height=380,width=660,resizable=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,location=0,scrollbars=0" )
Cheers
Hey Phil!
Thanks for that! I did it and unfortunately, It didn’t seem to work 
. If you can check my site – http://garethbolton.com/blog and click any post and click the tweet button and see if it works for you. You should see via @GarethBolton at the end of the tweet but I can’t see it. I’ve cleared my cache and cookies on my browser and I don’t see why it didn’t work.
Cheers
Hey again Gareth!
Checking out your live init.js file, I still see the original line in place without the mod – can you ensure you’ve edited the init.js file in the js folder and overwritten your old copy on the server with the modded one?
Cheers!
Hey again Phil!
I’ve indeed did this. Like you asked!
Cheers!
So if you have the modded file on the server, do you have any idea why it’s not reflecting in the live file? Do you have a caching plugin/service to clear?
Cheers
Hey there, still loving the theme (excellent work)!!
Had a thought and wondered if this could be implemented or setup (somehow?)
I want to see how I can edit (either css??) so the original navigation on the home page is either invisible or at the bottom, until you scroll down below the home slider and then it sticks to the top of the screen?
Wondering if this is possible or if there are any tricks to making it work easily?
Hey danwin7,
You can remove the header with custom css but to have it appear on a scroll event would require custom development. It’s beyond css once you start getting into scroll events like that and would require javascript development.
Cheers
hello my friend i really like this theme , it’s so beautiful. but there is a problem , i want use theme in Right to left mode because my language is Persian “fa_IR”.
’ for example Sahifa theme : “http://themeforest.net/item/sahifa-responsive-wordpress-newsmagazineblog/full_screen_preview/2819356” have Right to left mode and so many user use in Iran , like this site : “http://blog.lexyco.net” use sahifa.’
So, can you make for your beautiful Theme ’ Right to left ’ mode and fix my problem ?
Hey hadikmaeri!
Unfortunately there’s no RTL support at this time so that would require a custom mods to the theme.
I am experiencing a slight annoyance with the nectar slider during full screen mode as it goes fully to the edge on the left but one pixel off from full bleed on the right in the smallest iPhone res of the responsive design. Possible for me to fix this with CSS? (OR maybe consider this a fix I am pointing out for a future update…?)
Help would be appreciated!
Hey FromInfinity! Anyway you could allow me to see your URL so I could check on this for you?
Cheers
Sure, I set up a page with the nectar slider in it—> http://iamjagold.com/blank/
Another thing I would like to edit/remove is that there is 5px of buffer at the very top, a white strip that lies between the top black nav and anything I try to put below it. I want the nav to be totally flush with the graphic. I assume these are 2 different CSS edits…?
Your assistance would be very much appreciated! JA
Hey!
Use this to clear the 1px line on mobile:
@media only screen and (max-width : 690px) {
body .nectar-slider-wrap {
margin-left: 0px!important;
}
}
The heading space bug was resolved in the latest release but if you’re not updating yet, use this to fix it:
body .container-wrap, body .project-title {
padding-top: 92px;
}
Cheers!
Yes, thanks! Perfect, works great
You’re very welcome!
Happy holidays
My site is: nicholasfearn.co.uk
1) Why can’t I have comments on pages?
2) Where are my page titles gone?
3) Can I disable featured images?
Hey gadgetxpert,
it appears you’re currently not using Salient – if you switch back let me know to check again and I’ll provide more insight on your questions
Cheers
To anyone considering purchasing this theme….
First of all, take some time and really go through this theme and look at the incredible amount of features, pages and functionality this theme offers. Second I invite you to scan through the insane amount of comments and tech support this author has given. I’ve asked him three or four questions, he’s always happy to help and his replies handle my problem totally and immediately.
I’ve bought a lot of themes and templates on Envato and I’ve had varying degrees of success especially when it comes to help from the author or creator. Flash stuff, HTML stuff and now Wordpress stuff. Theme Nectar, as he is called, is hands down the best. Buy his stuff. When encountering a problem, search the comments before asking – give the guy a break – but if you need to, ask and ye shall receive lol. It doesn’t get any better than this!
I know others agree with me – Theme Nectar is THE BEST!
Thanks so much David! I’m delighted that you’ve enjoyed your experience so much and took the time to write this
Your rock!
