Salient v3.0 is here!
This is probably the largest functionality update I’ve released so far and I think all the changes will be very welcomed 
The main focus of the new version is the Nectar Page Builder. Feel free to check out this page to get a feel for it: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/features/page-builder/ Also, I’ve already created two new video tutorials covering this so have no fear updating!
http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html
Thanks for patience while I finished this guys, I’ll be back on here soon to catch up with your questions & to post links to the video tutorials when they’re processed!
Cheers!
Hi,
Very nice job on the theme. Would it be possible for you to let me know how I can add some padding in between my thumbnails on this page: I would like to have equal space in between each image from top to bottom and from left to right.
http://garydid.com/Thank you so much in advance.
Hey herardo!
Enter this into your custom css box in the Salient options panel:
body .portfolio-items .col {
padding: 10px!important;
}
.portfolio-wrap {
padding-left: 10px;
}
That should get you pretty close!
Hello,
Thank you for your help. But it’s not putting the even number of 10 pixels padding on the right side? I tried different combinations and its not working. If you go to the provided link you can see that the images are touching the edge of the browser.(the images on the right side)
body .portfolio-items .col { padding: 10px!important; }
.portfolio-wrap { padding-left: 10px; padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-right: 10px; }
I tried a couple of these but it didn’t work on the right side images?
Thank you in advance
Yes, to finish the effect you would need to adjust the width values a little like this:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1600px) {
html body .portfolio-items .col.elastic-portfolio-item {
width: 19.73%!important;
}
}
@media only screen and (min-width: 1300px) and (max-width: 1600px) {
body .portfolio-items .elastic-portfolio-item {
width: 24.54%!important;
}
}
@media only screen and (min-width: 990px) and (max-width: 1300px) {
body .portfolio-items .elastic-portfolio-item {
width: 32.65% !important;
}
}
@media only screen and (min-width: 470px) and (max-width: 990px) {
body .portfolio-items .elastic-portfolio-item {
width: 48.2% !important;
}
}
Cheers!
What percentages do I use if I want to make the padding 20px instead of 10px?
example:
body .portfolio-items .col { padding: 20px!important; }
.portfolio-wrap { padding: 20px; }
Also it looks like its not adding the padding at the bottom near the footer?
The padding isn’t working correctly on mobile? Images are all bleeding to the right side.
Hey again,
Here’s the query for mobile devices I forgot:
@media only screen and (max-width: 470px) {
body .portfolio-items .elastic-portfolio-item {
width: 99.4% !important;
}
}
There’s no easier way than to just start reducing them slightly to make it match your newly desired 20px padding – take each down slowly in increments of around 0.20 until it’s correct.
and here’s the css to correct the bottom padding near the footer:
body #portfolio {
margin-bottom: 0 !important;
}
Cheers!
Got it, thank you.
You’re welcome
I have some new problems?
I’ve upgraded to your new version today. Now the main logo both on the tablet and on the mobile device goes off the white nav bar? Also on the mobile device when I’m scrolling now it tense to stop randomly?
Thank you in advance.
Hey again!
1. You have custom css setting your logo height bigger on mobile, but don’t have anything to set the header div taller. Please enter this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (min-width : 1px) and (max-width : 1000px) {
body #header-outer {
height: 86px !important;
}
}
2. Nothing was changed in regards to the scrolling in v3.0 & I can’t seem to replicate this checking on my GS4 – what browser/device are you using and can you replicate the same behavior here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient
Cheers
Thank you, the height: 86px !important; seemed to work for the logo. But on tablets or mobile devices when scrolling from the top it seems to scroll really strange or freeze? Please go to the sit GaryDid.com from an iphone or tablet so you can see what I mean. I’m not sure why this started happening?
Thank you in advance.
I’m not sure if it’s something in the padding or something else but when I’m scrolling with my finger for example on the first image bellow the hero image that first image moves with my finder. I tested this on multiple devices?
This is the custom css code I have in there right now:
@media only screen and (min-width : 1px) and (max-width : 1000px) { body header#top #logo img { height: 54px!important; }
}
.meta-comment-count { display:none; }
.single-below-header { display:none; }
body .portfolio-items .col { padding: 20px!important; }
.portfolio-wrap { padding: 20px; }
@media only screen and (min-width: 1600px) { html body .portfolio-items .col.elastic-portfolio-item { width: 19.46%!important; } } @media only screen and (min-width: 1300px) and (max-width: 1600px) { body .portfolio-items .elastic-portfolio-item { width: 24.24%!important; } } @media only screen and (min-width: 990px) and (max-width: 1300px) { body .portfolio-items .elastic-portfolio-item { width: 31.9% !important; } }
@media only screen and (min-width: 470px) and (max-width: 990px) { body .portfolio-items .elastic-portfolio-item { width: 46.8% !important; } }
@media only screen and (max-width: 470px) { body .portfolio-items .elastic-portfolio-item { width: 92% !important; }
.portfolio-wrap { padding: 10px; }
body .portfolio-items .col { padding: 10px !important; }
body #portfolio { margin-bottom: 0px !important;
}
}
body #portfolio { margin-bottom: 0px !important; }
@media only screen and (min-width : 1px) and (max-width : 1000px) { body #header-outer { height: 86px !important; } }
Thank you in advance
And this is what I have on the home page:
[nectar_slider full_width=”true” arrow_navigation=”false” bullet_navigation=”true” desktop_swipe=”true” parallax=”true” loop=”true” fullscreen=”true” location=”home_slider” ]
[nectar_portfolio masonry_style=”false” horizontal_filters=”true” enable_pagination=”true” project_style=”2” category=”all” layout=”fullwidth” projects_per_page=”“]
Hey again – I have now checked your URL on an iPhone5 as well as my GS4 and can’t replicate the scrolling issue you’re referring to. What mobile browser are you checking on? Also, can you see if turning the smooth scrolling option off in your options panel makes it go away?
Cheers
I was able to figure it out, not sure why it worked. Thanks for all your help though!
This is what fixed it:
[vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"] [nectar_slider full_width="true" arrow_navigation="false" bullet_navigation="true" desktop_swipe="true" parallax="true" loop="true" fullscreen="true" location="home_slider" ] [/vc_column][/vc_row] [vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"] [nectar_portfolio masonry_style="false" horizontal_filters="true" enable_pagination="true" project_style="2" category="all" layout="fullwidth" projects_per_page=""] [/vc_column][/vc_row]
I notice on the iPad resolution the text in the hero shot has a 46 pixel line height for some reason? How do I change that to 24 pixel line height?
This is what I’ve tried:
body .vc_text_separator div {
font-size: 36px;
line-height: 4px!important;
}
Hey! Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (min-width : 690px) and (max-width : 1000px) {
html body .swiper-slide .content p {
line-height: 23px !important;
}
}
Hi,
With the woocommerce I am trying to get an logout option in the menu. I already did some research and you need to check “Append a logout link to menus containing My Account” in Settings -> Pages. But it isnt there… 
Hey GodsHiron!
Are you saying that the option isn’t there or that the option is there and the link isn’t appearing in the menu? I currently don’t see that option in my Settings > Pages either so that information could potentially be outdated?
Cheers
Has anyone wrapped WishList Member (membership site solution compatible with WordPress) around Salient theme?
Supposedly WishList Member can turn any WordPress theme blog into a full blown membership site.
I want to make sure there is also no conflict with AJAX shopping cart, since it promotes ClickBank but declares it is compatible with others.
Any input is greatly appreciated!
Hey MiaGal,
Unfortunately I myself have not tested with that myself, but I would suspect there would need to be css integration to make it look perfect. If you end up going with Salient and notice any further conflicts just let me know and I’ll try and help out
Cheers!
Thanks for the quick response! I just purchased Salient and I’m very excited about it! I’ll hollar if I run into issues. Thanks.
Sounds good and welcome aboard!
Hello,
I have been trying to change the aqua color (default) in the theme to my desired one and have changed the colors everywhere but I am not able to over ride aqua color? Could you please help me.
Thank you, Waqas
Hey Waqas!
Have you changed the accent color in your accent color options tab? Also, what version of the theme are you using?
Please post a URL if you can so I can check on this for you
Cheers!
To those of you searching for answers as to how to customize the Theme and have figured out your solution please post it in your inquiry.
Some people are looking for the same solution that you solved and posting “I figured it out thanks” doesn’t help this discussion and puts more support on Mr. Nectar.
The questions are already backed up here and I’m sure that doing this would help this community of theme users.
Just my 5 cents.
-C.S.
Hey! Thanks for posting this – you’re right, it would be beneficial for everyone
Cheers!
Thank you for making such a great theme. I’m currently editing the theme. I want to change the permalink for the portfolio from “www.xxx.com/portfolio/xxx” to “www.xxx.com/exhibition/xxx” how can i do that? thank you.
Hey mistahhmc!
You can alter that in the portfolio options tab in your Salient options panel. Just enter a slug in the applicable option field and then refresh your permalink structure by going to Settings > Permalinks and clicking “save changes”.
Cheers
Hi,
Could you recommend the best way to include an email newsletter sign up on the site? KR Henry.
Hey Henry!
You could grab a plugin like this: http://wordpress.org/plugins/newsletter/ and simply place the widget in one of your widget areas
Cheers!
hi, i’ve purchased the theme and is awesome but i was thinking if i can center the logo in the header. Thanks
Hey albeandreetto,
Unfortunately there’s no option for that yet, but I’ll note this for the wishlist
Cheers!
Dear ThemeNectar,
I have been customizing the theme this whole month. Let say for example, now I have 50+ custom css code snippet in the Salient “custom css box”.
For some reason today, when I add a new code snippet and hit SAVE CHANGES, it seems I can’t make all those 50+ codes working altogether. For example, code snippet number 1-25 are working, but the rest are not. There is nothing wrong with the rest of codes, because I have confirmed this by only using the code snippet number 25-50 instead and they are working just fine.
So, the problem is that I can’t use all those codes altogether at the same time. For further clarify, let say I have 48 codes working…added 2 new codes..then this problem comes in. (those 2 new codes are fine, since it is working when I tried to use code snippet number 25-50).
What do you think about this? Any suggestion?
p.s. 50 codes are just an example amount. There are many custom css codes in my custom css box, but I believe it is not that much.
Thank you so much in advance
Cheers!
Hey Fayth!
Anything put into the custom css box is simply going to get wrapped in a <style> tag and inserted at the top of your pages, there’s nothing that could logically make sense to stop some styles from not working except for css errors and there’s no limit to how much you put in there either – is there anyway you could allow me to see all the css and your pages where some of the rules are not applying? Can you just perhaps point out a URL where a specific rule isn’t working and let me know the rule?
Cheers!
Hello! I have a couple of question for the theme: 1. How can I change the social button icons?
2. How can I change the position of the social buttons from the bottom to the header?
thanks a lot for your attention, Fabio
Hey Fabio!
1. If you open the footer.php file (and header.php file if you plan on using them in there too). You’ll find an unordered list with the id of “social”. You can simply delete the existing icons in each relevant item and add your own image/icon.
2. There’s already an option to activate them in the secondary header as shown here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/headers/
Cheers!
Thanks for the fast reply! For the first question, for example I would like to change the twitter icon, the code I saw is this
<?php if(!empty($options[‘use-twitter-icon’]) && $options[‘use-twitter-icon’] == 1) { ?>
Do I have to insert the url inside of it? and if so where?
(sorry for the noob question, I’m not a web developer )
best
Hey again!
You could change this part:
<i class="icon-twitter" />
into this:
<img src="https://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/new_twitter_icon/128/bird_twitter_new_single.png" />
Cheers
Thanks a lot for the fast reply again
now it works! I would like to show you the website if you have any advice on how to improve it
best, Fabio
You’re welcome!
I’m noticing a double scrollbar on your setup now in Firefox – try adding this in the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel to clear it:
#social img {
margin-bottom: 0px!important;
}
Thanks! you’re right I didn’t notice it, I just used the code and now it’s not showing the double scrollbar but oddly the smooth scrolling is now not enabed on the Home page in Chrome and Firefox (while on Opera it works perfectly)
I actually didn’t see smooth scrolling on your URL when I checked last time either – I assumed you turned it off. I see that the issue is the page is calculating the height before your header slides down and is seeing that there’s no need for a scroll bar, but the height changes after that. If you load the site on a smaller screen (just resizie your Firefox window to be shorter) you’ll see it work on page load.
I’ll note to sort this minor bug
Cheers
Oh I see, thank you a ton again for the support (best support I had so far!). The scroll bar now it doesn’t have that problem, I suppose you’ve already fixed the bug 
I’m still working on the website, maybe I’ll show you again in the next months when it’s finished!
best, Fabio
Sounds good Fabio
Cheers!
I like this theme, just one question: I can’t figure out how to hide the search icon at the top right of the page header. Any one can suggest a solution?
Ok. I found it. Thanks.
Hey mtontini! I’m glad to hear you found the answer
Cheers!
Hey guys!
Just wanted to say that I appreciated your patience on here & the forum while I have been wrapping up the new release
With any luck Salient v3.0 will be submitted within 24-48 hours!
Hey, Hope all is well! Thanks for the Amazing theme that you’ve provided. It’s made a HUGE impact for me online. I was wondering if you could please help me with a conundrum that I am experiencing. I can’t seem to get the tweet function to work properly on posts. Is there any way you could help me? Cheers!
Hey jeremydarko!
I’d be glad to help you Please just provide me to a URL where I can see the problem occurring.
Cheers!
Thanks for your swift reply! Here is the most recent post I have | http://www.notbythehour.net/accomplish-dreams/
Hey again!
I believe it’s failing due to the trademark symbol you’re adding into your titles – try removing that or replacing it with the HTML entity version which can be found here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_symbols.asp
Thanks so much! I’ll do just that
I deleted the Trademark from the title but it’s still not working properly. Any suggestions? http://www.notbythehour.net/4-types-content-site-needs/
I now have tracked it down to the | in the title – weirdly enough that’s making it a bad request as far as twitter is concerned.
Alright. Thanks for your assistance. I will delete everything and do my best to find out what headline will work with no conflicts. I’ve been recommending your theme to everyone. I only wish I could implement video to make it more amazing.
You’re very welcome & I really appreciate that!
-
I wasn’t aware you were having any issues with videos though – do you need my help with something?
Cheers!
Salient theme There WPML support multiple languages???
Hey woocommerce!
WPML isn’t officially supported yet, but I’ve heard from users it works near perfectly
hi, like the theme a lot!
Can I make the whole portfolio, including filters (or even a bunch of related items) appear underneath the portfolio item page, so you can browse on immediately without having to go back to the main portfolio page?
OR can the item open above the portfolio?
thanks! Marije
Hey Marije!
You could place a portfolio inside of the portfolio single pages wherever you want, but you wouldn’t be able to use pagination at that point so it would only realistically be a good option if you have few items. As for opening the project above in the main portfolio page, that would require a fair deal of custom development.
Cheers
Hello,
I like the theme, obviously great, just few questions:
1) Can I make the width 1263px (full width, stretched) instead of the current wide option you have without affecting the theme appearance on the other devices i.e: ipad, iphone etc…?
2) Add to cart Ajax?
3) Is it compatible with easy digital downloads?
Thanks
Hey WP3!
1. Yes, you can adjust the container for each viewport separately with custom css.
2. There already is an AJAX cart option visible on the demo, you just need to have at least one product in your cart for it to display.
3. I haven’t tested with that plugin, but if you go with Salient and encounter any issues just let me know
Cheers!
Is there comming soon an update to the theme?
v3.0 was just released last night
Hi, I am looking for a nice theme and I admit that this is really nice, but I see that there is a problem with the demo displayed with google chrome or safari shows all the icons of social networks, but if I see your demo with firefox, I do not see the icons for facebook and many more. I always check before making a purchase. I have verified that the problem exists with other sites using the theme. Do you have any response? thanks
Hey Chukyarlaa,
this is not a known issue and there are no reports of suck. I also primarily developed the theme in Firefox so I know how it performs in that browser the best.
Can you verify this on a second computer?
Cheers
The Template is great, but i have one strange porblem. Scroller “ascrail2000” doesn’t appear on one of the subpages. I have about 15 subpages, and the probleam appears only on one of them :/
Hey slowix!
That’s pretty odd, could I get a URL showing this problem so I can check on it for you?
Cheers
Fixed but i have a problem with video, i’ve uploaded alle 3 formats webm mp4 and ogv, and i can’t see the movie on ff and ie, on chrome everything is fine. URL http://propozycje.owocni.pl/Stolter/
That’s good to hear!
In regards to your video issue – 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!
Thank you veru much!!! You made my day 
You’re very welcome!
Cheers
Wrote it too fast, still same problem on ie :/
unfortunately still the same problem with ie :/
Hey again! It just appears you’ve supplied an improperly encoded mp4, which is the format IE uses. You can test this by trying to open the video file directly in the browser:
http://propozycje.owocni.pl/Stolter/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Modena_-_materia_reklamowy.mp4As you can see that won’t play where as this will:
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/one_more_new_1.mp4Just run your video through an encoder like this: http://video.online-convert.com/convert-to-mp4 and that should clear it up
Cheers
