Hi, I wonder seriously about buying this theme, but I have one very important question: Are the fonts that support this theme, have Polish characters (letters)?
I’ll be grateful for the information! through greetings
Hey Alexanderer!
Yes – there’s an option to enable those characters in the default fonts in the typography options panel and each Google font has the option to choose a language subset (so all fonts that support extended latin characters are usable in Salient).
Cheers 
hello!
i was wondering if there was a way to do a full-width section and have the content inside (not just the background image) span the whole width as well?
Let me know if you need an example
Thanks
Hey Joel!
Yes – please see this tutorial for a demonstration in creating a full width content row
Cheers!
Hi, this post is kind of related to the one underneath this one: I’d like to add a secondary menu but I can’t quite figure out how to do just that. I’ve selected the option to show both the secondary navigationbar and the social icons in it but is just shows an empty bar above the main navigation bar. How should I set it up so that is does show the actual bar?
Second question, on this page http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/headers/, I see an option to select a language or country. I’d like to add that to my website, any advice on that?
Hey vonDeyck!
1. Once you’ve activated the secondary nav, you have to add menu items into that location in the Appearance > Menus section of your admin panel and add social icons to it via the Header options tab of your Theme Options panel.
2. That is an option in the plugin WPML – in its settings you can choose to add the language dropdown in either of the two menu locations available in Salientr
Cheers
Hi! Thanks for the answer but probably, I’m still being stupid or do something wrong 
I’ve activated the secondary menu in the ThemeNectar Options panel, selected the social icons I want to add, went to the Appearance – Menus secton and added the menu-items I want to use but still it won’t show anything.
The Menus section tells me that “Secondary menu will only display if applicable header layout is selected here.”, I’ve checked wether or not the option for both headers is selected and it is. Somehow I’m still unable to get it shown. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks in advance, Erik
Hi! I just found out the secondary bar ís visible on my phone but it won’t show in neither Safari nor Firefox on my Macbook… Might that help in any way?
Hey again!
Is there anyway you could supply me with your URL so I can check on this for you?
Cheers
Thanks again for your quick response, much appreciated! My URL is www.vondeyck.nl, if you need any further information, please let me know.
Hey!
It seems it’s just getting covered up by that top callout from your plugin – add this into your custom css box in the theme options panel to correct it:
body #header-secondary-outer {
top: 35px!important;
}
Cheers!
That does the trick! Thanks a million!
You’re welcome
I think I found out what the problem was. When you set up a site-wide store notice in WooCommerce, it places it right above the secondary menu bar. Adding the custom CSS fixed the problem but since WP is installed at wp.vondeyck.nl and shown at the site root vondeyck.nl, it isn’t shown anymore when you click any link. I’ve disabled the store notice and now it’s working just fine.
I think I’ll try installing all WP files in the root folder on my new server and hope I’ll be able to show both the store notice and the secondary menu bar.
Thanks again, I really appreciate your quick responses!
Sounds good – and you’re very welcome
Cheers!
Is there anyway in the Necter shortcode to make a tab unclickable? I am only using one tab so I don’t want people to think it’s a button. Or anyway to achieve the same look of color box behind a text item?
Also, is it possible to have the sidebar with the checkmarks appear below a full screen video? On the right side, just as it is?
Thanks!
Hey Amy!
1. Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.tabbed ul li a.active-tab {
cursor: default !important;
}
2. You can just create a normal bullet point list of items in your editor and then switch to the text tab and add the class ”project-attrs” and “checks” to it like this:
<ul class="project-attrs checks"> </ul> then just add this to your custom css box and you’ll have the same look
Amazing. Thank you! And there would be no way to show the sidebar to the right? I want to have a text description under my full screen video with a column on the right side with the check marks.
I’m seeing a line beneath the tab button. Anyway to remove this? Thank you!
You’re welcome!
1. You’d have to choose the full width option for your project to allow that video to be full width on top. Below that you can create a column layout using the column shortcodes or page builder and in the right hand column, use a text block with the method I described above
2. Can I see your URL again that shows this border so I can help remove it?
Cheers!
I’ve posted it to the support forum! Thank you!
It is Ticket #158618. Thanks

I’m getting this error on back end when it was installed and activated:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_theme() in /home/park/public_html/wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/options/options-init.php on line 2309
Host Gator is saying it’s an issue with the template. I’m running WP 3.8
Can you please help? Thanks!
Never mind, I got it taken care of, but thank you very much and have a wonderful day!!
Hey dweisenburg!
Glad you got it sorted
For others to might have this issue – it sounds like you were using an outdated install of WordPress (Salient requires WordPress 3.5+)
Cheers!
Hey, a quick prepurchase question.
Is it possible to add icons/buttons myself, change colours of premade elements, without knowing how to code? And does the theme come with a stylesheet?
Hey Lulu!
Yes, the theme is highly customizable without knowing how to code. Please check out my youtube tutorials for more insight on what it’s like to build with Salient. Here’s one on using the page builder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4mt0lOJ888
Cheers
Hello again. I watched the youtube video on using the Page Builder – really a great tool. However, from what I could see using the pagebuilder, the colour options were limited to preset colours? (Blue, orange and cyan.) I really want to give the website me very own unique color schemes. I am a graphical designer and want to give it credibility and represent my own work/design abit more I also made vector icons I’d like to use instead of the premade ones, but I have ideas how to add those by just using columns and content.
Hey again!
1. You define the colors which make up that list – the Blue, orange and cyan were just the ones I chose.
2. You can also use your own icons, but they can’t be integrated into the icon shortcode itself without custom development.
Cheers
Thanks alot for the those answers I bought the theme!
That’s awesome to hear!
Welcome aboard
Wonderful theme guys, thank a lot!
A very stupid question though..
After I installed the theme, I have only an empty Sample page appearing in the list of pages. How do I make template pages (Home-Basic, Home-Landing Page etc.) appear there as well?
I just launched my website so I don’t have content on it.
I will really appreciate your help!
Hey sesboard!
Please check out this video for a tutorial on importing the dummy data file: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wKJFYCZN1U

Hi, which is the best ‘deals’ plugin to use with the Salient theme? Tried using the WP Deals plugin but the look of it doesn’t compliment the rest of the site? Is there any others or anyway i can change the design of it?
Hey Josh,
Unfortunately I don’t have a specific one to recommend in this category. However, adding styles to the one you’re using can easily be done through the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel or by including styles in a child theme you create.
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar. I’m am having an issue displaying the correct svg size for three separate images with the same dimensions. I’m working locally, so I can’t link the site, but thought you might have an idea as to how to imbed the svg to specific dimensions in my case 90px Height. .
I used a simple fix. I embedded the svg in an iframe and constrained the dimensions to what I needed.
<iframe width=”100%” height=”90” style=”padding:15px;” src=”/wp-content/uploads/svgcode.html”></iframe>
Hey freshlesh3!
You could also do something like this:<img src="icon.svg" class="my-icon" />
and then in the custom css box:
.my-icon {
height: 90px;
}
Cheers
Hello ThemeNectar,
I know you are busy but if you have a time to reply to ticket #156603 I’ll be more than happy. Keep doing this great work (theme & support)
Rico
Hey Rico – I’ll be with you soon
This is one of the best themes i have ever used. BUT.. . .i can’t get the nectar slider to work on the home page. It works on other pages, but not the home page. Very strange. See: www.campdovid.com/newsite/ and see it working on http://campdovid.com/newsite/application-forms/ Any ideas why it isn’t working on the home page?
Thanks superjew11
You’re not using the Nectar Slider on your home page – there’s a Home Slider though. You can remove that by unnaisgning the home template from the “Page Attributes” box and then insert a Nectar Slider through the shortcode or page builder.
Cheers!
Hello, thanks for the help…I solved the problem. I have another question, I have a motion graphic video to put in the home page slider, something like you did for the demo template, what resolution and format and size did you use for your video? Thank you
You’re welcome – the video backgrounds are all used in the Nectar Slider, the Home Slider is actually a different slider all together.
For my Video BGs I used a 16:9 aspect ratio full HD size. You have to include WebM & MP4 file types and the encoded sizes were between 20-30mb
Cheers
Video in nectar slider?
Hello, I watched the tutorials to include a video in a slider (not as a background) but I do not have the “Slide Video Settings” section on my slide setup page as seen in your tutorial. I’ve tried disabling all my plugins one by one and nothing helped.
Is there something I am missing?
Thanks for your help, Crystal
Hey Crystal,
you’re referring to the Home Slider, which is difference than the Nectar Slider. If you want to include a video in your Nectar Slider, just paste the iframe embed code into the caption field – there might need to be some css to format the rest of the caption though.
Cheers
Hi, something odd happened. I just updated to the latest version and now I’ve lost the map on contact page and all content portfolio page. I can access portfolio items through recent work shortcode from Home page and then click through all the items but when I return to main portfolio page no items are showing – just the header text…
Hey b1b,
Sorry for the scare – the template names for the portfolio and contact just needed to be changed for 2.6.5 and there unfortunately was no way around having them unassign when doing that. I apologize you didn’t see the message I posted on here in regards:
“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.”
Cheers!
ok, it is getting late here in London and I was not paying attention! It’s just everything always works sooooo great I got a bit lazy.
Still absolutely best template ever!
Take care
No worries!
Cheers
Submitted a ticket but I thought I would try here as well. Just trying to set up the Nectar Slider and running into some issues regarding the video responsiveness (very slow) and browser compatibility. I’ve spent countless hours reading discussions and theme guides, followed all available advise and possible fixes but getting nowhere.
I’ve uploaded the proper formatted videos, added the “AddType” to .htaccess (I think I did properly?), and not sure what’s wrong or where to go from here.
I’ve also read somewhere in the discussions that this doesn’t work in Safari (?) which is quite upsetting finding this out after the fact.
If the theme isn’t compatible in all browser’s than why am I wasting my time and money? I like the theme, want to use it, but only if it’s going to work!
P.S. Not too familiar with wp yet. We’re trying to switch our site from html to this and kind of in a learning curve here. So I was wondering…if I can’t do this, do you guy’s offer services for set-up?
Thanks in advance for any support on this.
Cheers Joe
Hey Joe,
I don’t know where you read the theme or video aspect isn’t compatible with Safari, but that’s completely incorrect. The only thing Safari does differently is not use the parallax effect in the Nectar Slider since it’s too demanding for it.
If you can provide your ticket number I’ll make sure I get to it tonight
Also in regards to setting the theme up, I can offer assistance and support for free, but if you need someone to completely build the site I would check out microlancer.
Cheers!
Hi
Ticket #157836 Thanks very much, appreciate any support you can provide for sure. I can’t remember where I saw that discussion…just going on what I read. Glad to here it’s not the case though. I’m trying different things to get it to work but still NO luck. The main issue is the video (in IE) is just sooo sluggish, doesn’t load right away (delay), stops and starts etc. In Firefox, not so bad. In Safari…not at all.
I’m out of ideas. I really hope its something simple.
Thanks again!!
Just tried Home/Basic and Alternative with Youtube iframe and same thing…doesn’t load, stops, sluggish etc. VERY frustrating…..
Hey again – I replied to you last night, I assume you’ve already seen/replied back so I’ll be back with you in the forum today
Well after encoding for a fifth time and (get this) changing a capitalized letter on the video file…all back to normal!
Thanks for help. Much appreciated.
Glad to hear
Cheers!
Hi,
Great theme. I have one prepurchase question:
Is it possible to add a contact number and email address in the secondary navigation bar or somehow above the primary navigation bar? For example like this: http://themeforest.net/item/avian-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/5852639?ref=khoiruddin
Thanks in advance!
Hey luisvzz! Yes, that’s possible and you can see an example of the secondary navigation bar here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/headers/

Hi there,
Is it possible to add a standard header image to blogposts? My client really like the header I’ve added to their pages, so they also want it on their blogposts. Is it possible by a simple .php trick?
Cheers!
Hey John2332,
are you talking about adding a unique full width header for different blog posts or one that would be above them all? A unique one would require custom development, but a static one could be implemented in the single.php file
Hey,
Sorry for my late reply!
Yes indeed, I mean a unique full width header for each blogposts that generate automatically (like how it’s been done in the pages section).
Can you please give me an example for implanting this feature into the blogposts header? Since this feature has been created for pages, it couldn’t be thát difficult to develop it for blog posts too, right? 
Anyway, thank you very much for your help, v3.0 seems to run fantastic on my client’s server. They are very happy about their website! Big thumbs up! (Y)
Enjoy your weekend, cheers! John
Hey again!
Unfortunately it would indeed require a decent amount of development since you would need to add all those meta boxes into the “post” post type and then query for the header through the single.php as done in the page.php.
If your client needs this, I know someone at microlancer could wrap it up for you in a hour or so
Cheers
Hello. Is there somebody on the support? It’s been a while since I opened a ticket there. Thank you! Anyway. Kool Theme.
Best, Peter
Hey Peter, the average response time on the support forum is 24 – 48 hours and currently I don’t see any tickets open with a time longer than that. If that’s not the case for you, please supply me with your ticket number and I’ll look into it

Hey there,
thank you for your swift reply. And yes. I got a response in the meanwhile. Yes sometimes it’s like that. Thank you. No hard feelings!
Best, Peter
You’re welcome

Hi Nectar,
I have a question regarding the nectar slider and the home slider. I made an image (1200×450px) that was exact the width of the page. And when using the nectar slider I also set the height to 450. But on the home page (www.miriambos.com), it’s not showing that exactly height (420px instead of 450px), AND the image is a bit too big, so the edges are not showing. I tried some settings and different heights in the nectar slider code, but nothing works. How can I show the images in my slider without them resizing and showing accurately? I really don’t see how I can fix this. Thanks so much in advance.
Hey irrimiri,
if you’re just using the slider to show a single image like that, you’d be much better off dropping the slider and just using a full width content row which will hold a single image. This way the image will always show perfectly in every window size.
The page builder & full width content row type were both added in v3.0 so if you haven’t updated yet – it might be a good time to
Cheers!
Thanks so much for the reply. Great tip, but the plan is to make more slides. But I didn’t get to it yet
But I think I missed the update. Will have a look at that, thanks again!
Hi again, I have updated it and the slider looks great now!! Thanks! One thing though. It doesn’t touch the menu bar any more. There is a bit of white space/padding? between the menu and the slider. Was that intended? Or should it touch the menu? I thought it would. (miriambos.com homepage).
Also, I tried to use the full width image, but it’s not showing. And part of the text is missing too. Like it’s placed too high on the page and behind the menu. Here is a test page: http://miriambos.com/test-1/Thanks so much for your time again. x !
Hey!
1. Make sure you convert your home page to use the page builder and have the slider in a row set to full width background.
2. It appears the row with that image has no padding set and since there’s no content in the row it has 0 height. You would need to set a large amount of top/bottom padding to give the row height. However, I was referring to using a full width content row which is available in the page builder and then placing an image element inside of it – not using a background on the row itself
Cheers
1) Do you mean the page attributes? But I liked to use the nectar slider instead of the home slider for the homepage. It’s set to full width but still showing white space ‘above’ the slider (not on the sides in case you misunderstood) _ Do I need to add custom css to remove that padding or white space between the menu and the slider?
2) I need to have another look first to understand what you mean exactly. My apologies if I misunderstood earlier.
Thnx
Hey again!
1. No, you can keep the Nectar Slider just switch into the page builder view and make sure it’s inside of a row which has its type set to full width background or full width content. You can see what I mean in this tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4mt0lOJ888
2. No worries, also if you want me to set up an example for you i’d be glad to if you can supply me a login
Cheers
