You really have outdone yourself again Mr. Nectar
After working with 3.0 for a few days, I can honestly say that it’s been mind blowing!! You truly have made the complete package sir 
Thanks a lot TwoSolid!
Really glad you’re digging it 
Hi there,
I am having a problem with the nectar slider being responsive (see screenshot below). Basically, once it gets past the 1300px media query, the slider and the text stop scaling. However, when I reload a page with a smaller browser size, everything loads fine, but it won’t scale up when I scale my browser. Any suggestions as to why this is happening?

Thanks, Yulia.
Hey Yulia!
Could I grab a URL so I can check out the behavior myself really quick?
Cheers
How can you get the latest posts shortcode to show all posts instead of last 4??
[recent_posts category=”all”]
Hey poz94, you should use the actual blog shortcode/element if you want to define the number of posts (the recent posts shortcode will always show 4)
Cheers!
Worked great – thanks
You’re welcome
I really would like my photos to auto-re-size to fit in the nectar slider… I want to be able to see the whole image without having to scroll down for each of the photos… can’t re-size photos because they lose clarity. Any suggestions?
Hey beachhippie,
if you’re images are taller than the screen height, have you considered not full the full width option? Any chance I can see your URL so I can see how tall your images/slider are set to?
Cheers!
Just a very quick question, what is the recommended size for Home Nectar Slider for the home page of www.serverhostingexpert.com ?
As when you maximized the webpage, the picture will show bigger too so I need to make sure the image is matching with the quality.
Hey largeserver!
If you’re setting the slider to display full width then make sure you’re images are at least 1800px wide
Hey Nectar,
I was wondering if there is a way to do this: I do not like how the responsive design works for my site when on a computer so I disabled responsive design in the general settings. However, doing that makes the site look bad on a mobile device. Is there a way to make the mobile version active on a mobile device and keep the responsive functions turned off when used on a computer?
Thanks!
I think this would be a really good option to add in general settings for the next update – because it pretty much forces you to have responsive design enabled if you want the site to be functional on a mobile device.
But don’t get me wrong, I think the theme is awesome, just a suggestion. And I also really appreciate your quick/active customer support – It makes sense that you’re a top seller, and you deserve it.
Hey althaua!
This would require leaving the responsive option on but modding the repsonsive.css file a good deal. All of the mobile media queries such as:
@media only screen and (min-width : 690px) and (max-width : 1000px) {
would need to be changed to only target phones.
@media only screen and (min-device-width : 690px) and (max-device-width : 1000px) {
The mobile queries start on line 431 assuming you’re on 3.0.5
Cheers!
Hey Nectar,
I’m realizing that each time I update the theme I have to redo this entire process. Is there any way that I can set it up to not have to redo this work every time I update the theme?
Thanks!
Hey! I’ve noted to make the responsive.css stylesheet child theme ready so you’ll be able to overwrite it without touching the parent theme after the next release
Hey ThemeNectar! I just updated to 5.0, can you explain this to me – how to update my responsive.css with the child/parent theme? Thanks!
Hey! Add this into the child theme functions.php file:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'style_overrides', 20 );
function style_overrides() {
wp_dequeue_script( 'responsive' );
wp_register_style("responsive", get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . "/css/responsive.css", '', '4.8.1');
}
Hi!
Excelent theme, i love it… Is it possible to mute all backgroundvideo’s in the nectar slider with a button?
Hey markhandels! This would take a good deal of custom development, but it’s something I’ll note for the wishlist
Hi!
How Can I update the theme?
Is there any place where I can download the last build?
Thank you!
Hey lluisdomingo!
You can update by downloading a fresh copy from ThemeForest, deleting the current version you have on your server and uploading the new. I recommend using FTP, but you can use the WP dashboard if you prefer. You won’t lose any of your content or theme settings so don’t worry about that if you were
Yeah! Thanks for your reply! But the problem is that this theme doesn’t show up in my Downloads folder, here in ThemeForest. Like if I never bought it. And I did! I have my Item Purchase Code to prove it.
What can I do? Thank you!
I can also see that you don’t have the purchased tag – perhaps you bought it on a different account? If not, unfortunately I personally don’t have the power to add it back into your downloads, it must be a bug on ThemeForest. Just open a support ticket with them here http://support.envato.com/index.php?/Tickets/Submit and show them your purchase code so they can reinstate it for you
Cheers
Hello, I have a problem when installing the theme in WP : Fatal error: Call to a member function init() on a non-object in /wp-content/themes/salient/functions.php on line 316
What should I do? thank you
Amélie
problem solved !!! I was in php 5.2, I had to pass with 5.4. htaccess !
Hey Amélie!
Thanks for letting me know about the solution
Cheers!
Hey Phectar,
So I was brave enough to dive in the editor and tweak the style.css file while experimenting with firebug and it seems that about a half dozen color adjustments were lost in the latest update.
Is it safe to assume that in the future all I have to do is make a copy of the style sheet, update salient then reimport the altered style.css?
Thanks in advance
-CS
-Just a quick follow up about the 4 squares. When I entered the code in the arrows also disappeared making the user have to click the portfolio button again. How do I get the arrows back?
Hey again!
1. You should keep your styling mods in a child theme style.css so they won’t overwrite the parent styleshee but instead add to it OR use the custom css box in the general settings tab of the Salient options panel.
2. Change the snippet to this instead of the last one I supplied for you:
#portfolio-nav #all-items {
display: none !important;
}
Cheers!
Awesome thank you.
So if I create a child theme I won’t have to worry because the updates just effect the main theme and not the child style.css I alter?
Correct
Rad!
Cheers!
- call to action block in page builder
- possibility to set icon size (like the nectar shortcode) and position (top, left, right, bottom) in the icon with title block in page builder
- possibility to change the recent posts block layout (ex. masonry row)
Keep up the good work…thank you!!
Hey paletta!
Thanks for the suggestions
Cheers!
Hi,
Fantastic theme. I have some prepurchase questions.
1. Is it possible to have multiple portfolios? If that’s possible, can each portfolio have it’s own filtrable categories?
2. Is it posible to have woocommerce as a catalogue? Is it easy to disable prices, shop cart, etc… and only have the pictures and descriptions? (Some themes have this options)
Thanks in advance and hope to receive news from you soon. Have a nice day!
Gerard.
Hey Gerard!
1. Yes you can have multiple portfolios are with their own filterable categories – however, on the single project pages the next/prev arrows will still lead you into projects from other categories so if you don’t want that you’d have to hide them. (just a line of css).
2. I know WooCommerce has a premium plugin for turning off the shopping cart and everything, but I’d be willing to supply some css take remove that aspect of it for you for free.
Cheers
Hi!
Thanks for the reply. You have sold another copy of this fantastic theme. It will be fantastic to have both css. Thanks again!
That’s great to hear Gerard – welcome aboard
Here’s the css you can enter into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel: :
1.
#portfolio-nav ul.controls {
display: none!important;
}
2.
html .woocommerce .container-wrap .product-wrap .add_to_cart_button {
bottom: -1000px!important;
}
html .woocommerce div.product form.cart {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers!
Buenos días: Veo que tiene una actualización al tema. Disculpe mi ignorancia, es la primera vez que tengo que actualizar y no se los pasos a seguir. He intentado instalarlo con el otro activado y me da un fallo. ¿Tengo que desinstalar antes la versión anterior? En ese caso se pierde lo que yo había personalizado? Si puede indicar los pasos se lo agradecería mucho. Gracias.
Good morning: I see you have an update to the topic. Excuse my ignorance, is the first time I have to update it and not the steps. I tried to install it with the other on and gives me an error. Do I have to uninstall the previous version? In that case you lose what I had designed? If you can outline the steps I would appreciate it very much. Thank you.
Creo que ya lo he resuelto. Gracias

Dear Nectar
I have a question regarding the borders of the little thumbs showing in the footer of my website. In the footer I am using the ‘last projects’ widget, but the border lines are quite thick. I would like to change both colour and size. But I can’t find the right custom css for it. Would you have any idea?
Thanks in advance!
Hey irrimiri!
Use this:
#footer-outer .recent_projects_widget img {
background-color: 000!important;
padding: 2px!important;
}
Cheers
Thanks so much! That worked.
It still does show a little black line around the thumbnails. I was originally planning on making the lines invisible. But at least the thick border is gone now. 
If you wish to remove that completely just change it to:
#footer-outer .recent_projects_widget img {
background-color: 000!important;
padding: 0px!important;
}
Cheers
thanks so much again!! you’re the best ^^
You’re very welcome!
Hi,
Not sure why but my portfolio page was working fine but now is completely distorted.
https://annagainey.ca/platform123456/Any help would be appreciated. Page is Password protected. PW is Pancakes!
Hey ZombieBatman,
The only issue I can see occurring is the double Nectar Slider on top. Can you describe a little more or possibly provide a screenshot showing what you’re referring to by “completely distorted” so I can help better?
Cheers
Thanks for the reply, forgot to mention that this was taking care of. It was a CSS issue. But I posted something about the double slider a few posts below and opened a support ticket as well.
Thanks so much!!!
You’re welcome! Glad you sorted it
Please see my response to your other comment in regards.
Cheers!
Hello!
I see on your demo that there is an animated clip on the slider.
My questions are: 1) Are you able to embed full video links (ie. Youtube, Vimeo, etc…) into the slider? Meaning the video fills up the entire screen of the slider (where the cartoon viking clip is). 2) If yes to the above, does the slider have full video player functionality? if it does, what functionality does it come with? (ie. play, pause, volume control, progress bar, etc..)
Thanks!
For the above #2, I wanted to clarify that the question was about a full functioning video player with sound.
Hey morningowl,
You can only use self hosted video clips for the video background feature unfortunately external embeds can only be used via lightbox off a sliders button or embedded into the content area of the slider (not full width)
Cheers
Had a question I hope you can help me with?
I’ve seen some other ‘shop’ type themes that offer left-hand navigation on their shop pages and the ability to filter results using Woocommerce layered nav etc.
I wondered whether this is possible in Salient? Only suggesting this because if this is, it would make this theme ultra flexible and negate the need to go searching for other shop type themes!
Look forward to your response
Cheers Dan
For some reason also – you may be able to help… New install of the latest WP and multisite and I can’t for the life of me work out why when I try to activate Salient, it takes me to a blank page and nothing else…??? 
Now I seem to get blank pages regardless of what I do with this site??
Hey Dan!
1. There’s an option to enable the right sidebar area on shop pages with can contain any WooCommerce widgets – but unfortunately there’s no option for a left sidebar yet.
2. Blank white screens usually point to your setup running out of memory. Try increasing the memory limit by adding this line to your wp-config.php file (which is located at the root of your WordPress install):
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');
Thanks for the reply. I’ve tried to up the memory in the wp-config file but still – white screen after network enabling Salient and then activating it in a new site!
What to do next – I haven’t really had this problem with a fresh install before!
Fresh install of Salient and uploading via FTP, then not network enabling but instead enabling for the individual site seems to have done the trick!!
Is it possible to network activate the theme?
Hey again Dan!
I’m glad you found a workaround – however I’ll need to run my own test locally with network enabling to see if there is indeed some issue or it’s just a matter of your server resources not being enough to handle activating it throughout multiple instances.
Cheers
Hello!
I asked you yestrday if Salient is compatible with WPML. You told me that by the moment it is not 100% compatible. Are you planning to do the theme compatible with WPML?
Thank you!
Hey javierojuel! Yes, eventually – Hopefully within the next couple feature releases it will become official
Cheers
Great! I have just bought the theme! If you continue tu improve it step by step, it will sell very very well for a long long time! Work well done!
Thanks a lot javierojuel! Really glad to hear you’re liking it so far
Cheers!
hey, I have one question. I am using “justfied image grid” with this theme and want to use the pretty photo lightbox. Unfortunately the theme breaks the look of this lightbox. in justified image grid you can set special selctors or rel tags… can you help me with this?
Hey benzrecordings!
You could either erase the Salient prettyphoto css located in the style.css file or erase the prettyphoto css included with your plugin – they’re most likely just conflicting. If you want to erase Salient’s just open that file and search for* Prettyphoto *
to end up at the right place
Cheers
I submitted a private ticket on the support forum 5 days ago – #152105. Can you take a look? I still have the same issues.
My quick question here is: Where can I change a category page from the_excerpt to the_content? I saw in another post you said the index page handles categories, but I don’t see it.
Also, is there a way to prevent the logo from resizing so small on phone size screens?
Thanks.
OK, found a previous post re mobile logo size with your answer.
Hey trcim! Very sorry about that wait – I must have overlooked the ticket. Just responded
