Hi, I want to purchase this theme, but I’m finding it difficult to scroll down on my Samsung S3 phone.
Hey easycoolguy2006, make sure you’re viewing the demo directly and are not in the ThemeForest iframe: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/
Cheers 
Hi,
Great theme guys – keep up the good work!!!
I have a quick question involving WooCommerce. When my user adds a product to the cart – can I have them also re-directed to another page on my site (which is not the checkout or cart page BTW)?
FYI – For my shopping page, I am not using the default WooCommerce shopping page or calling the Add to Cart button via shortcode. I have a unique page with some digital products for sale. My version of the add-to-cart button code looks like this:
[button size=”medium” url=”http://www.mysite.com/shop/?add-to-cart=1413” text=”Select Package” color=”extra-color-1”]
When the user clicks this button, it successfully adds the product to cart, but I’d like to have them immediately jump to another page as well.
thanks for your help! regards, P
Hey P!
This might be more appropriate to pose on the WooCommerce forums since the redirect will still need to take place within one of their files and not Salient directly.
Cheers
Custom Fonts
I’ve just checked out the post: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/51185/search/ Site is blocked in work :/ When adding @fontface and css, are they both to be added in the custom css box? Then target (ie slider header) with something like: I’ve been trying but not succeeding.
@font-face {
url('css/helveticaneue-lightext-webfont.svg#HelveticaNeue43LightExtended') format('svg');
}
.swiper-slide .content h2 {
font-family: ‘'HelveticaNeue43LightExtended'’!important;
}
Thanks a million.
Hey!
You’re css for selecting the slide h2 is correct but you font-face declaration is incomplete:
You need to define the font-family name and also supply more than just the svg to ensure cross browser compatibility. Make sure you’re urls are also correct – if you plan on using relative links like css/font-family.svg you’ll need to enter the rules in the style.css instead of the custom css box.
Here’s an example of a complete font face declaration:
@font-face {
font-family: 'OpenSansRegular';
src: url('css/fonts/OpenSans-Regular-webfont.eot');
src: url('css/fonts/OpenSans-Regular-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('css/fonts/OpenSans-Regular-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('css/fonts/OpenSans-Regular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('css/fonts/OpenSans-Regular-webfont.svg#OpenSansRegular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
My Nectar Videos are not playing in FireFox and Explorer. They do work in Chrome. I have both WebM and mp4 Videos loaded in the slider.
In Explorer the videos have a play menu bar at the bottom of the what is supposed to be the video slide and in FireFox, just a black screen. I added this to the access document in the wordpress intall but no luck.
AddType video/mp4 mp4 AddType video/mp4 m4v AddType video/ogg ogv AddType video/webm webm AddType video/webm webmv
Any further advice?
AddType video/mp4 mp4 AddType video/mp4 m4v AddType video/ogg ogv AddType video/webm webm AddType video/webm webmv
to the wrong htaccess file – are you sure it was the htaccess in the root of your WP install and not in one of the folders?
Cheers
That could actually be the case. how can I verify the true root directory? Thank you very much.
Hey again!
The root directory is on the same level as the wp-content and wp-admin folders – not inside of either.
How can I display an excerpt on the blog page instead of the full content?
Hey Joel!
You can use the more tag or you can enable the auto excerpt option in the blog options tab of your theme options panel
Cheers
Hello
Product Search Drop Down is not working on my Site
Hey Shenjai,
are you talking about the search on the front or admin panel? Can you open a ticket on http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ with more information so I can check it out for you?
Cheers
I am having an issue with the header on my forum http://www.topdank.com/forum/ Is there a way to minimize the header on just this page so you can see the top of the forum page or do you have another recommendation. Thanks in advance you are the absolute best and this is an awesome powerful theme!
Hey Justin! Add this into your custom css box in the theme options panel:
#spMainContainer {
margin-top: 80px!Important;
}
Cheers
It is doing it on chrome and firefox. It seems to work fine in Safari though. I also noticed the header is a lot taller. It seems to be putting the logo on the top left and the menu on the bottom right, where they used to be side by side.
sorry replied to the wrong post
No worries
BUG:
Nectar Slider > Parallax scrolling = true > The header and subheader will appear about 20px higher than center. When I begin scrolling, they will jump to center where they should have been to begin with, and scroll as expected.
This happens sporadically, about 50% of the time when I just keep refreshing the page.
Hopefully this makes sense. Latest Chrome.
Hey again matijaerceg,
What OS are you on? I can’t seem to replicate this on the latest chrome on Windows 7. I assume you can also see this on the live demo in addition to your own site correct?
Cheers
Latest chrome, Win7
The reason I can’t replicate this on your site exactly is that you do not have a Nectar slider with only 1 slide, that has a parallax image background.
I can reliably replicate the behavior here: http://adriaconsulting.ca/
I have been able to replicate but only about 10% of the time – I will note to look into this to see if I can find the issue
Cheers!
Any updates on this? I would be more than happy to help you troubleshoot.
I still need more time to do testing, but really am hoping to include the fix for the upcoming release due out soon!
I’m not sure how you could help unless you’re digging into the script yourself, but I wouldn’t worry about helping old nectar out 
Cheers!
Hi ThemeNectar,
Thank you always for your excellent support and wonderful updates!
I have two questions:
(1) I am using home slider (I need to use home slider instead of nectar slider on some pages because I want fade-in transitions) and would like increase the “length” of the caption before they line-break. In other words, I want to fit more words in each line before they are forced into the next line.
Can you please tell me what custom CSS to apply?
(2) I use secondary navigation for my website to put phone number on it; for some reason, I have a strange thin gap that appears relative to the main navigation.
Please refer to this as reference: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/86001863/secondary%20menu%20line.jpgThis appears on all pages throughout the website. On pages using nectar slider as header, through that gap, I can somewhat see the slide of the nectar slider with paralax effect when I scroll down the screen.
Can you please tell me what custom CSS to use to close this gap?
Thank you very much in advance
Sorry forgot to add question:
(3) For some reason, the home slider does not work at all and none of Nectar Slider’s heading, caption or button text (in other words none of the text) are displayed on Internet Explorer 11, even though they are functioning properly on chrome, opera and safari!
I am at a complete loss, please help 
(please check website as shown in link above)
Hey tomsato!
1. Add this:
#featured article .post-title h2 {
max-width: 800px!important;
}
2. If you can supply me a URL I will be able to give you the css required to close it
3. That’s weird – the demo still functions normally on IE11 with the Home Slider http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/home/home-basic/ do you see it not working there?
Cheers!
1. Thank you, worked perfectly
2. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/86001863/Gap%20and%20URL%20info.jpg
3. Sorry about this, it turned out to be a glitch on my PC: the problem did not occur on any of my other computers with Internet Explorer 11 so I presume there is something wrong with IE installed on my PC!
Oops sorry another question:
4. In the main menu, drop-down menu items seem to be too “short” horizontally in that I can’t fit more than a few words before it forces a line-break…
I would like to increase the “length” of the drop-down menu before line-break. Can you please advise custom CSS for this?
Thank you soooooooooooo much in advance!!!
Hey again!
Try adding this in your custom css box for #2:
#header-secondary-outer {
padding-bottom: 2px!important;
}
In regards to your additional question –
.sf-menu ul {
width: 21em!important;
}
Cheers!
2. Applying this CSS does does not seem to make that “hairline gap” disappear, it is still there… can you provide another other solution please?
4. Dropdown menu looks great now, this worked like magic! Thank you very much
You’re welcome – Is there anyway you could provide me with a URL so I can see what’s happening in the code?
Hi themenectar,
please refer to https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/86001863/URL%20link.jpg
Thank you once again for helping me out, you have been truly helpful and I really appreciate it:-)
Hey again!
Add this into your custom css box:
body #header-secondary-outer {
border-bottom: 0px!important;
}
Cheers
Worked brilliantly! Thank you very much! You are an absolute star!!
You’re very welcome
Any idea why when using w3 total cache if I checkmark minify half of the front page shows up blank? How can I fix this? Would you mind sharing the W3 Cache settings you use? Also curious if you use any plugins,that you might recommend.
www.topdank.com
Hey Justin, because minfication requires finesse and auto combining all the scripts will make them go out of order thus breaking the functionality. I do use W3, but don’t have that option on and since there’s a lot of settings in the plugin it would be hard to share them all but I can say that I have a fairly conservative & basic setup.
Hi themenectar!
In my website below, there’s a section called ‘recent sermons / refresh’ which is by default called ‘recent posts / view all’. I have it called ‘refresh’ instead of ‘view all’ for now as a sneaky way of covering up the bug with the website. Normally when you click ‘refresh’ it should go to page with all the posts, but since I don’t have a page with all the blog posts, it just refreshes the home page. Is there a way to get ‘refresh’ or ‘view all’ to go to a page that has all the posts in a certain category? (in this case, I would like the link to go to ‘Sermons’ in the main menu)
http://www.covlifecities.com/website/Hey charleswu7!
Just disable the title labels by setting the attribute title_labels on the shortcode to false. You can then just make your own text above the recent posts that links to where you want – enter this into the text tab on your editor above the recent posts shortcode:
<h3 class="uppercase">recent sermons <a href="http://your-link-here.com">/ view all</a></h3>
Awesome, of course! That works great, thank you. By the way, is there a way to display the date of the post with the ‘recent posts’ shortcode?
You’re welcome
Adding the date in would require file modifications to the shortcode-processing.php located in the nectar/tinymce directory. It might not be worth it since it will get overwritten in future updates of the theme.
Cheers!
Hi ThemeNectar,
First off, I love you guys!!!
Secondly, I’m not sure if anyone else a conflict with the Social Network Icons in the footer… All of them are fine, except the Vimeo icon, which appears is shifted upwards making it not aligned with the rest of the icons. Vimeo is important to me. Could you give me some help on how to go about fixing this?
If you’d like to take a look, here’s a link to my site: http://www.50thousand.com/Hey Skybox7!
Indeed this is a small bug – Here’s the fix for it to hold you over till the next release. Enter it into your custom css box in the theme options panel:
#footer-outer .icon-be, #footer-outer .icon-vimeo {
line-height: 32px!important;
}
Cheers!
Thank you so much! And for the fast response!
You’re very welcome!
Hey there,
What would you recommend doing in order for the navigation to change to other menu items when I go to a certain page. I know it’s out of your range of support but perhaps you can guide me in the best direction for modifying header.php
Thanks
Hey mkurk,
The process would be to register a new menu location in the functions.php, add items to it and then create conditional logic to display that menu instead of the normal one in the header.php file only on your given page.
Here’s an example of a conditional:
<?php
if(is_page( 'Contact' )) {
wp_nav_menu( array('walker' => new Nectar_Arrow_Walker_Nav_Menu, 'theme_location' => 'contact_top_nav', 'container' => '', 'items_wrap' => '%3$s' ) );
} else {
wp_nav_menu( array('walker' => new Nectar_Arrow_Walker_Nav_Menu, 'theme_location' => 'top_nav', 'container' => '', 'items_wrap' => '%3$s' ) );
} ?>
Cheers
Hi – installed the theme on a test server and we dont have the icon buttons in the visual header. This is a single wordpress install and 3.7.1 and has no plug ins installed.
Hey zenweb,
I’m not sure what you mean by “visual header” but if you can share with me a URL and explain the problem a little more i’d be glad to help
If it’s an admin problem feel free to open a private support ticket here with your credentials: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/

The client will need vimeo or youtube functionality on the home slider. I understand the slider can play video clips in background but I was wondering if i”m able to embed videos from youtube or vimeo onto the slider. For example if he wanted to show a dance reel on that very slider.
Hey hitentertainment,
you can embed an external video into the sliders, but not as the background – it will be in a standard embed player in the content area.
Cheers
thank you so much.
You’re welcome!
I have been having huge issues with the Nectar shortcodes. When I am in the editor and click on the icon on the tool bar for the short codes, the pop up box shows but then is completely unresponsive. If I select anything, it won’t let me insert it.
Hello strategic_media,
sounds like there’s some sort of script conflict in your setup (possibly with a plugin) If you would like me to check on it for you please open a private ticket on the support forum with your credentials: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Thanks!
This is so good theme. Everything works perfectly and very simple to setup.
Only problem that I face is with contact map. Is there shortcode or some way to make it somewhere else than the bottom of page? I think it’s good to get same shortcode way to this.
Hey Kuningasidea!
By default it should display at the top of the page – there will be increased flexibility with this in the next release though
Cheers!
Ok, I’ll wait that. I just want to drop it to custom position. Maybe center, maybe bottom, maybe top
Thanks for the fast reply!
You’re welcome
Hi, how to enable breadcrumbs in salient pages?
Hey mzuker – check this out in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/73962/search/

Would you be able to guide me on custom styling (colours) the headings of the team members? Tried putting html tags around the ‘name’ element but no joy. Thanks.
Hey mediumjack!
Enter this into your custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.team-member h3 {
color: #ff0000!important;
}
Cheers
Gentleman
Just one more thing (Columbo) Trying to target each one after that using nth-of-type but no good? Thanks.
Are you using the team members in a carousel? If so use this:
carousel li:nth-child(2) .team-member h3 {
color: #ff0000!important;
}
Cheers
Thanks for the help on the other questions, I’ll check them out tonight.
I have another question – on this site www.saveawarrior.org (not a Salient theme), they have an image in the banner that seemingly hangs below the header area – is it possible to do that in Salient. I’m revamping this site, and the non profit’s founder really likes this element of the header. (the test site I’m working on is www.fyourstroller.com
Thanks!
Melissa
Hey Melissa,
this would only be possible with a good deal of custom styling – there’s a lot of things place that would prevent that (mostly with the header resize effect). If you are looking to get that effect done quickly you should check out microlancer
Cheers!
Thanks for the quick response! I’ll check it out, since it sounds like it’s beyond my skillz
You’re very welcome
Cheers!
