Thanks for the suggestion Jussimir 
Hi. This theme fulfilled all of my expectations, and I love it!. The thing is that in my homepage, I have a Nectar Slider with an mp4 file. It runs perfectly on Safari and Chrome, but never loads on Firefox, I’ve tried it on 5 different computers and it never works with Firefox. What can I do about this? in our google analytics, it shows that 40% of the users visit our web page through Firefox, thanks in advance.

Hey nekofilms!
Make sure you’re also supplying a webm file for firefox – I can see it’s working now on my end, did you already sort this?
Cheers
I would like to link to a google map and use the popup feature normally used for images and video. How should I tackle this?
Hey CLRD,
switch into the text tab on your editor and add this:<a href="http://www.google.com?iframe=true&width=900&height=500" class="pp"> A Google Map! </a>essentially you’re just going to add your URL into the href and then make sure
iframe=true&width=900&height=500
is on the end – but I’m not if you’re allow to do this with a google map. They might block such requests.
Cheers
hmm, doesn’t load up the map unfortunately, just a blank popup. Is there a way to just make a page or html piece popup?
It appears google blocks that kind of usage from all areas of their site (I was mistaken when I thought it was just their maps). If you replace that url with another like this it should work though:
<a href="http://themeforest.net?iframe=true&width=900&height=500" class="pp"> A lightbox URL! </a>
Great! One more question, how do i use this with the client short code?
You can’t easily add custom html into that element (without custom development) but if you used a standard carousel instead you could
Hi. I posted in theh support forum as well, but I am having an issue getting base64 embedded images to stick. It shows up once and then on reload the code just disappears.
Hey freshlesh3,
That’s odd – have you narrowed it down to only disappearing in Salient?
Cheers
On my local build it only disappears if i edit the module in question on the live site it seems any edits on a page reset any base64 code.
I’ve tried it on several other themes now and it works on them and does not disappear on those site.
I see, but if you switch themes for a minute for testing – does this behavior correct itself? I’m just trying to figure out if it’s something related to your actual setup or the theme itself.
Cheers
I switched to the default theme and the base64 seems to reset as well. Is it a security issue to embed base64 on a wordpress site?
Yes, that’s what it sounds like – since base64 is used in a lot of the time with malicious intent your server/WordPress could be stripping it
Pre-sale q:
Hello, Will this theme work with WooCommerce 2.1? Please let me know if you converted all WC templates to the 2.1, and if you use all new functions there. Thank you!Hey tivnet!
The demo is indeed using WooCommerce 2.1 and the Salient 3.1 release fixed all known bugs with it
Hi ThemeNectar,
1. Can you please provide “sticky sidebar” option with blog posts, in next version? I really want this feature
2. also, can you please provide post filter options on masonry style blog pages, like this page: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio-4-columns/ ? I really want this feature too
I really appriciate your great work, This is the best theme among all themes available on Themeforest!
Thanks, Oscodo
Thanks Oscodo!
I’ll note these suggestions for the wishlist
I’m sure this was brought up before. I wanted to keep my permalinks neat so I changed them to display the Post Name. After doing so, the pagination on my portfolio does not work anymore. I’ve read in some comments here that it will work again when I assign a custom slug. So I changed “portfolio” to “works” just to try it out, and it works. But I really want to keep the slug as “portfolio” so it will be the same as the link name on the header. It’s also for easy reference when I share the link it will be mydomain.com/portfolio. Is there any way to make this work? Like manually edit a file or an entry in the DB?
Hey sugaroverkill
surprisingly enough, you’re the first to ask about it. Unfortunately I don’t know of any other way around. Since your-url/portfolio/ is the post type it makes sense that your-url/portfolio/page/ would be telling it to look for the project “page” which doesn’t exist and thus the 404. Something must be changed whether it’s the portfolio page slug, the single post type slug or the permalink structure.
Thanks for your reply. I just sticked to changing the slug.
I have migrated my site from local to live by following exactly these steps: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-move-wordpress-from-local-server-to-live-site
My issue now is that some images don’t display such as the logo on the header, some thumbnails of my portfolio, slideshow, and the background. This is my site: www.sugaroverkill.com I noticed that only the custom thumbnails don’t show up. I tried manually removing and uploading the thumbnail of the 1st portfolio entry and it now displays it. Same with the nectar slider, I manually removed and added the image background of the 1st slide and now it displays it.
Is there anything else I can do so the images will be displayed?
It would be great if I didn’t have to manually reupload everything again.
Hey!
Yes, all of the images are still saying http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/ you need to run a SQL script in your database to do a mass find and replace to your actual domain now (common procedure when moving WordPress sites) – here’s a resource for the query to run: http://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/updating-wordpress-mysql-database-after-moving-to-a-new-url/
thanks that worked. great support as usual! keep it up.
You’re welcome
I just tried installing the latest theme version and I got this error,
“Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed.”
Hey mchichi! Please see this article: http://support.envato.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/269/0/my-wordpress-theme-isnt-working-what-should-i-do

How can I move the call to action section in between the footer and the footer bottom bar?
Hey allengragg!
You’d have to open the footer.php file and move the entire CTA section:
<div id="call-to-action">
<div class="container">
<div class="triangle" />
<span> <?php echo $options['cta-text']; ?> </span>
<a class="nectar-button <?php echo $cta_btn_color;?>" href="<?php echo $cta_link ?>"><?php if(!empty($options['cta-btn'])) echo $options['cta-btn']; ?> </a>
</div>
</div>
above the copyright div
Hello, I have a problem, when I add variations to products in WooCommerce the add to cart button does not appear, please help: C

Hey,
your server is blocking one of the WooCommerce scripts from loading:
"NetworkError: 406 Not Acceptable - http://modasoyfeliz.com/home/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/assets/js/jquery-cookie/jquery.cookie.min.js?ver=1.3.1"Here’s the guide on how to fix it from WooThemes themselves

You’re welcome
Hi I posted a ticket on your support but cant seem to get an an answer. ticket no is 159673
Hey 6600feet, I apologize for the delay – I don’t always get to work the forums during the weekends when in times of increased development like last weekend. It’s also worth noting that every time you post a new comment before I respond your tickets gets unintentionally bumped to the bottom of my queue since on my end tickets are sorted from oldest to newest in terms of last comment posted. (You reset your position 3 times)
I’ll be with you soon
Hi there,
I love the theme and the update! Its working great. Unfortunately, I’m having trouble using the pagination within the main portfolio page, which results in a 404.
You may view the page which i’ve set as my main portfolio here: http://www.vertcydev1.com/greatchefs/chefs-and-recipes/
Please let me know if i can provide further details. Thanks for the help.
Hey kevhortz!
Have you also entered a slug in your portfolio options tab? It must be anything other than “portfolio” such as “projects” or “work”. Once you’ve done that, head to Settings > Permalinks and click “Save changes”
Cheers
Hi, how to disable the mobile version?
thanks!
Hey andujar06, There’s an option to disable the responsive design in your theme options panel
Ok, i turn off the responsive design in the options panel but when i open the page from a mobile the address still switch to mobile.javierandujar.com :-/
Hey again – That’s actually not a feature of Salient – it’s something either your hosting company is automatically adding or a plugin you have in Wordpress.
Thanks!
You’re welcome
Hey O
Just installed the plugin for reordering portfolio items but I seem to be getting navigation problems when I scroll back or forward using the prev/next arrows that appear when viewing a portfolio item. I would like the right arrow to take me to the next item in the portfolio and left to the previous. Currently these arrows work in reverse. I’ve changed published to see if that helped but no good. Any suggestions on what to tweak?
Thanks a million G
Hey!
That’s strange – but if they are indeed reversed a quickfix would be to open the single-portfolio.php and change this:
<li id="prev-link"><?php be_next_post_link('%link','<i class="icon-salient-left-arrow-thin" />',TRUE, null,'project-type'); ?> </li>
<li id="next-link"><?php be_previous_post_link('%link','<i class="icon-salient-right-arrow-thin" />',TRUE, null, 'project-type'); ?> </li>
to this:
<li id="prev-link"><?php be_previous_post_link('%link','<i class="icon-salient-left-arrow-thin" />',TRUE, null,'project-type'); ?> </li>
<li id="next-link"><?php be_next_post_link('%link','<i class="icon-salient-right-arrow-thin" />',TRUE, null, 'project-type'); ?> </li>
Cheers
Thanks a million. Worked perfect.
Great to hear
Just two very simple pre-sales questions… it’s possible to add ALWAYS a sidebar to any kind of page? i.e. this one: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/about/about-us-extended/
The other one is… it’s possible to add a gallery to a portfolio item? i.e. here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio/merchant/
Thanks!
Hey schwaller!
1. This is currently only an option in the portfolio.
2. Yes, there’s a gallery element in the page builder which can be used anywhere
Cheers
Ups… so… there isn’t any page template with sidebar? Neither a ‘sidebar’ element in the page builder?
Sorry, I read that question too fast – I assumed you were referring to a sticky sidebar.
Yes there’s a page template for a normal left/right sidebar which can be used on any page
Hey Nectar, just bought the theme and I think I’ve found a bug:
1.if you have a row in which you have a second row (example a row with four columns) the class name you assign to the second row doesn’t seam to work.
The class name appears when i switch from visual composer to clasic editor. But it doesn’t show up in the live preview version, tried using firebug to look for the class name but no luck.As you can understand this basically makes it extremely hard to create some layouts.
Thanks!
Hey a-max!
Thanks for pointing this out – if you can open a ticket in regards here: and then paste your ticket number here http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ ill post the solution for you any anyone else who encounters this before the next release
Cheers
Hey, just posted the ticket on that website. It’s Ticket #161775 hopefully you can sort it out soon since I’m planning a website launch next week.
I’ve already sorted it (it’s a small fix) – will be with you on there soon
Cheers
Thank you for the fast reply, can you resend/attach the file again since the zip file you sent me is empty. Thanks!
Hey a-max, sorry about that – please try downloading it again
Hi there,
on IE11, nectar slide isnt loading. Is there something i can do other than adding media on htaccess? it works on everything else, but IE11
Thanks
The issue only occurs on nectar slider with videos.
Hey joesquare, please supply me a URL where it’s failing to work for you so I can check it out. Also please let me know your Salient version number
Cheers
There was a known issue with IE11 and versions before 2.6.5 – one way you might be able to sort it is by turning off the loop parameter on the slider.
I have a question regarding the layout of the Masonry Blog. I’m using this on my home page to display the three most recent posts (but I’m not using the masonry blog anywhere else—on my blog page I have a standard blog with sidebar). What I’d like to do with the masonry layout on the home page is hide the ‘meta-author’ and ‘meta-category info that currently displays below the post title. I played around with “entry.php” and “shortcode-processing.php”, but when I make changes there, it erases this meta info from my blog page as well. I’d like to keep the author and category info on the blog page, but hide it on the home page. Is it possible to do this? Can you point me in the direction of where the code exists for the layout of the masonry blog?
Thanks very much.
Hey robsockett!
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.masonry .meta-author, .masonry .meta-category {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
Thanks! I’m using a child theme, so added it to style.css and it worked like a charm.
One more question: At the bottom of the masonry box (below the 1px horizontal line) I now have just the date. How would I add the category after the date (so it would look something like:
October 19, 2013 | Book Review
I can’t for the life of me find the file where the masonry box is coded.
Hey again!
You’d need to modify the files inside of includes/post-templates. Once inside, this is the section which controls the masonry only date where you could add more stuff next to:
echo the_time('F d, Y');
Thanks —I got it working!
You’re welcome
Hey again,
When using Meta on hover + entire thumb link for my portfolio option, is there a way to have this work like both a gallery and full page option? For instance, I’d like to have the user click the thumb to bring up the video/image large in the gallery, but when they click the lower left + icon it goes to the project page.
I know the view larger and more details option works this way, but I’d like to use the graphical interface of the + version and also keep thumbnails full in masonry.
I hope that makes sense.
Hey Joe,
unfortunately this would require custom development to the shortcode-processing.php file located in the nectar/tinymce directory. If you’re not comfortable modding php files, you could always go to microlancer to have a developer wrap it up fro you
First of all, congratulations for this theme, it looks amazing!
I have some pre purchase questions (sorry if them are already posted, but I can’t find any of them!):
- Is it possible to realize an home page with only the full width slider?
I guess yes, but I would like to hear it from you
- Is it possible to add a youtube or vimeo video in the full width slider?
- I can see there are two options to view portfolio items, can I remove just the details view and leave only the popup view?
Thank you for your collaboration and keep developing great themes
Andrea M.
Hey Andrea!
1. Yes
2. You can paste the embed code for it inside of the slider caption field, but it will display on top of the Slider background and won’t be full width itself without custom modding.
3. Yes, there’s an option for Gallery Only which will remove the more details button.
Cheers!
Hi There!
Thanks indeed for your quick reply!
Another stupid question:
Is there on this theme a one page option?
Thank you again!
Andrea
p.s.: the full width masonry portfolio, can it be boxed too? Or is it available just in full-width? Thanks!!!
You’re welcome
1. You would need to use this to assist with the animated scrolling: http://wordpress.org/plugins/page-scroll-to-id/
2. It will work in the boxed layout – if you check out http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio-fullwidth-masonry/ and use the style selector on the right hand side to switch to boxed, you’ll be able to see it live
Cheers!
Ok, that’s great!
I’ll buy the theme asap
Thanks again!
You’re welcome
Cheers!
Sorry, is there a way to show the featured image’s caption in the lightbox pop up view? It would be really useful!
thx!
Hey again!
Unfortunately this would require custom development, but if you need this functionality I’m sure someone on microlancer would be happy to help
Cheers!
