Hi There, ok woocommerce lightbox is broken in your theme. On all other themes i have tested and the stadard 2014 theme it works just fine on simgle product page. But it is not working now. I watched all your tutorials and tried changing the uploaded image to open with lightbox and just by default and still no luck. Please advise… thanks!
sorry, the update fixed this issue, thanks….
nope, broken again…
So it only seems to load if there are images in the “product gallery section.” If there arent any images there, it will not load the lightbox….
sorry for the multiple comments
Hey Nojule, there’s no known issue with the WooCommerce lightbox even if there’s no gallery images added such as: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/product/flying-ninja/
Can you supply me a URL to a page where it’s not working for you so I can check on things for you?
Cheers!
Hey Nectar,
Got a couple of little issues my man;
1. Creating the pricing table under the new page builder doesn’t seem to be behaving. It doesn’t correct for blank cells (shortens 1st and 2nd column to match cells ie doesn’t square off the bottom of the table as it should.) I’ve tried using both the shortcode generator and using the new fancy builder… driving me a little batty. 
2. Setting up a project gallery won’t allow Vimeo embeds to work (in “meta on hover + entire thumb link ” mode – works fine in the other mode… So I know the links are all good… (also – while on that – what the max Video Embed size – I tried 900 but its cropping my right hand side.
3. Request: LinkedIn share icon on posts would be awesome (great for business clients) not sure if there;s a way to manually add it in?
Awesome. Thanks Nectar 
Hey again radiantfilms!
1. Can you share a URL to the page where it’s behaving like this so I can see what’s up?
2. What version are you on? That project style should allow videos to show – check the sticky sidebar project here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/gallery-only-example/
3. Working on adding additional sharing options already 
Cheers!
The site is currently offline for DEV. But I can send you login deets if you have time to look into it. I’m using the very latest version and WP 3.8.1 – so there shouldn’t be a version issue. That demo gallery is exactly what I’m doing, except, without full width… Let me know how I can PM you details. Thanks Nectar 
Ok – I’ve set up instances of both issues on pages on my site – definite issue with the project gallery lightboxing to vimeo… must have a setting wrong?? Just let me know where I can sent login credentials… thanks man – cheers
You’re the man. Awesome.
Thanks a lot! 
Hi, I am working on the the designing process and trying to create a row look like one of your feature work, the Mobile Weather App. (the row with this picture below)
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/weather-app1.pngI noticed that this picture on the row is right-aligned, but even though I use the exact same picture I can’t get the same result. There’s always a space between. http://ppt.cc/esva
How can I change the position?
Thank you so much for replying.
and I can’t make the left column either….. which element should I choose?
Hey saggimo!
The structure is a row with the background image set as the image you linked and then 2 columns inside, the left one holds the text and the right one remains empty. If you want the shortcode setup to paste into your editor I can supply that too 
Hi, thanks for the instruction, but I’ve met another problem, as the snap picture of the page (using the same picture from your demo for practicing),http://ppt.cc/-m1c
the ipad on the right still have a gap between the scroll (which didn’t exict in your demo page) http://ppt.cc/nEJTcan you teach me how to slightly move the position of the picture to the right?
Hey again – you just need to either add more content into the rows like I have (the more content the bigger the image will become) or add some more row padding on the top/bottom 
Cheers
Hi Nectar,
How can I change the text for the menu under Dashboard? I want to change the words “Nectar Slider” and “Salient” to something else.
Thanks Jag
Hey Jag!
In your functions.php file search for this line to alter:'menu_name' => __( 'Nectar Slider', NECTAR_THEME_NAME)
Cheers 
Hi,
Thanks, Managed to change Nectar Slider. But no luck with “Salient” Please help
Hey again – you can locate that in the options-init.php file inside of the nectar/options directory.
$args['menu_title'] = __('Salient', NECTAR_THEME_NAME);
Cheers!
I am trying to put some javascript inside nectar slider, it seems to work, but then I can’t edit it, and also have a few problems. Any solution or suggest for this. Where should I load my javascript, because I am sure right now is not secure loading the scripts from inside the caption field, but I couldn’t get it to work otherwise… current example is here http://protactapp.com
Hey ematzner!
Yeah, it’s definitely not ideal to write javascript in the caption field – I would add any custom scripting directly inside of the nectar-slider.js file in the js folder if you only need it to apply when using a slider or in the init.js file if you need it to apply on all pages 
Cheers
Hi how do you adjust the font size of the Caption on the Home Sliders? Where can I access the code for this?
Hey TORO 
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
body #featured article .post-title h2 span {
font-size: 40px!important;
line-height: 65px !important;
}
Need to be optimization present in updates
1- if we don’t use some element (js,CSS) in a page, then don’t call it on every page.
2- reduce number of requests to server/MySQL
3- make things load faster
Hey mzuker,
1. A lot of the items already load conditionally only if used on the current page – WooCommerce styling, Nectar Slider styling/scripts, Home Slider styling/scripts, Visual Composer assets etc.
2/3. Both of these fall under minification & combining css/js which only requires that you keep the assets in the same order that they normally are loaded in. Still investigating any ways to make that easier for someone who doesn’t have as much experience with such things 
Cheers
everyone want a fast website, please make a fix.
Combining scripts has always required finesse, most guides will tell you take it one script a time during the process for this reason. It’s not something that’s broken in the theme, just a natural by-product of using multiple js files. Allowing minfication as an option in the theme will pose a lot of new problems so I’m strafing away from that and will probably just make a guide on combining the scripts with W3.
Also, your screenshot is clearly waiting for all of the video backgrounds to finish loading completely which is the the majority of the page size. The actual time in which the page finishes loading assets and is 100% viewable (with videos loading as they begin playing) is only around 3 seconds – to get a better idea how fast a site will load rely on Google PageSpeed 
I use google speed test also, but it’s not showing how many secs take to load a page, only the score and things to fix.
Instead a manual, you should do a 1 click solution from admin, just for people who cares about optimization, speed and less than 30 requests if possible instead of 100+ requests.
Also I use wp super cache, it’s better than w3 total cache
This might be a silly question but hopefully you can help me out.
Regarding the themes layout, when adding columns can they stretch to the full width. for instance I would like 2/3 and 1/3 that extend to the full size of the browser. In case you are unsure of what I mean please visit http://lifeandthyme.com/ and if scroll down you can see an example of this. Is this something that can be down by adding the columns to a full width section?
Regards Allan
Hey Allan!
There is the option for making the row extend the full width like that, but the columns would need some additional css to give them the correct padding when using text like in some of the columns in your example.
Cheers 
Is there a way of disabling the search box in the header?
And another question – Why is the nectar slider not responsive? My home slider is, but the nectar slider inside my portfolios, isn’t,
Thanks
Hey Yaki!
1. Here’s the ticket that explains how to: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/52594/search/
2. I would need to see your URL showing this so I can see what’s going on.
Cheers 
Thank you for your reply. this is the link:
http://yakipasandi.com/I also have another problem now – the site works perfect on Chrome and Safari, but on Explorer (11) and Firefox it’s all massed up. Can you help me figure what the problem is?
Here is a screenshot of explorer on the left and Chrome on the right:
Thank you very much.
Hey – have you made any mods to the main stylesheet? I am currently seeing it show up as empty in Firefox – if you have syntax errors it could possibly break it.
Yes, I tried a new webfont I baught, and imported its CSS file at the beginning of the stylesheet file, with its @fontface commands and it massed it up.
Is there anyway you could allow me to log in so I can verify the code is correct?
Cheers 
Where can I send you the details?
Open a private ticket at http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ and let me know your ticket number here 
I decided to go with another font in the end, one from google fonts, so it worked out.
Glad you sorted it 
Cheers
I want my portfolio to act as my home page. When I type in my address www.rad-sd.com it brings up a blog post section. I want my portfolio to pop up instead. Any tips? Thanks guys!
Hey radsd!
You can configure your front page in Settings > Reading 
Hi 
Thank you so much for your responses to my previous questions.
I have another one: the size of the photo that appears on slider, full screen. We prepared an image 2000×1333 px for the full page slider, for the home page, but the image appears trimmed.
What is the real size of the image? or does it work like this: we add a big image for example 2000×1333 px, and then the program trimms it, so that in the computer screen we see a cut from the original image?
here is the website address www.mmevelo.com
Thank you!
My friend, what is the best size for the images for the full page slider?
Hey New_Castle 
The images in the Nectar Slider make use of the css property “cover” for the background size. Here’s the description for that “Scale the background image to be as large as possible so that the background area is completely covered by the background image. Some parts of the background image may not be in view within the background positioning area”.
The best dimensions i’d say for a fullscreen slider would be 2000×800 – this will yield the best results are far as clipping goes 
Cheers
Hi Theme Nectar
Thank you for your help. However, how to find out the size of the image for the home slider, so that all slider is shown, not a cropped version? that is responsive as well?
You suggested that the best size would be 2000×800, does it mean that there will be no clipping?
The theme is amazing, we just need to understand how to make it look beautiful Thank you ciao
Hey again!
There will be little clipping since that size will be optimal for most desktop displays.There’s no way to ensure 0 clipping at every screen size unless you’re adjusting the height of the slider constantly to accommodate the current screen width perfectly (which would require not using the full screen option and some custom development).
Thank you
you are simply the best
Cheers!
You’re welcome! 
Is there a way to set my portfolio as the home page, so when someone types in my url they go straight to my portfolio instead of a “blog page”?
Hey radsd!
You can configure your front page in Settings > Reading 
Would be possible add Ajax portfolio ?
However amazing theme
Hey kaz2057, unfortunately there’s no option for this yet so it would take custom development.
Cheers!
First of all – THANK YOU!!!! truely an amazing theme. Is there a RTL support (backend) planned in the near future? PLEASE!!
Thanks again for doing an amazing job.
Hey YakiPasandi, currently it’s on the wishlist – but there’s no ETA at this time.
Cheers 
Hi,
We have a portfolio page (http://www.erinfitzpatrickdesign.com/conventures/portfolio/ ) where we want to showcase our recent events. We also have various Services pages (http://www.erinfitzpatrickdesign.com/conventures/services/maritime-events/ ) where we’d like to have a carousel of images at the top of the page that can be clicked on and enlarged (but with no “More Details” page available).
I assigned each service its own category (“Silo Corporate” for the Corporate Events page, etc.) and used a Recent Projects element to just show that category on the page. I was able to choose which categories I wanted displayed on the main Portfolio page and everything was kept separate. However, I just noticed that if I visit a “More Details” page for an event and use the arrow navigation, I am able to get to view the “Silo” pages which we want to be hidden (visit http://www.erinfitzpatrickdesign.com/conventures/event-portfolio/mmrf-race-for-research-series/ and click the right arrow and it will take you to one of the “Silo” image pages: “Corporate Perkins”).
Is there any way to hide certain portfolio categories from being visible when using the arrow navigation? Or is there a better way of showing the images on the individual services pages? I just couldn’t find another way of showing a carousel of images with a lightbox of the full image when clicked.
Let me know if you need more info, I know it’s kind of confusing…
Thank you!
Hey efitzpatrick!
Unfortunately the single project page arrows are always going to cycle through the available projects so using the hidden category method to populate the recent projects is probably not your best best. There is actually a gallery element available in v3.0 that allows you to create a gallery that can have each image link to a lightbox – I’d recommend using that 
Cheers
I was originally planning to use the gallery (as it would have been easier than making a bunch of individual portfolio items), but it just wasn’t quite the style we were going for (multiple thumbnails in a full-page carousel, like the recent projects). What I ended up doing was changing the date of the hidden category entries to be earlier than the visible portfolio ones—then I just used CSS to hide the “Next” arrow on the final visible portfolio item. Not the best, but it works.
Thanks for the quick support and beautiful theme. 
On another unrelated note, on the mobile menu, the search area says “Search..” with only two periods instead of a full ellipsis. Just FYI.
Hey again!
Glad to hear you sorted the first issue 
As for the mobile search – if you want to add in another period open up the header.php file, search for this line:
<input type="text" name="s" value="" placeholder="'.__('Search..', NECTAR_THEME_NAME) .'" />
and change the value to whatever you desire 
Cheers!
Solved..
Cheers

I’ve updated to the feb 11 update, removed all files and uploaded a new (it’s on localhost btw) but somehow my “Header Padding” option is not being saved. Is this a bug or do I have to break open the source
(which is no problem btw)
Hey RedactiePartners!
No, there’s no known issue with the header padding option – is there anyway you could allow me to log in and check on everything for you?
Cheers 
Ah no as I said it’s on localhost but thanks for the offer.
I actually solved it this morning, I tried the same files in a new install and then it worked so after inspecting my localhost folders in MAMP after I solved some permission everything was working again. So my bad! Great theme though!
Glad to hear you sorted it 
Cheers!
Ok, I’m at my wits end and need either a fresh pair of eyes or a kick in the face. Here is the jist:
- I have a child theme for all my Salient customizations - one of these customizations if Facebook Comments, exclusively (no Jetpack) - the elements seem to be there (cursor changes on hover), but they don’t appear
Make sense? Yeah, I didn’t think so either. I have trolled through the console, CSS, everything… I got nothing.
Here is an example page: http://taketheleap.ca/2013/12/hannah-kusch/Halp?
Well, THAT was a fun witch-hunt.
Seems the issue is this, for anyone who comes across the same problem I just did: in the default styles.css:2943, there is this: .main-content iframe[src] { opacity: 0; }
Because Facebook Comments uses an iframe the opacity is ZERO. So, to fix, I threw this into my child theme’s styles.css: .main-content .comments-section iframe[src] { opacity: 1.0; }
Bam, problem solved.
Oh, and also, this theme kicks ass. As a fellow web developer who was tired of designing his own site, I gotta say: I am over the moon with how this theme is designed, coded and easily customizable. I’d buy this six times over if I had to. Well friggin’ done to your entire design and dev team.
Thanks for much taketheleap, that means a lot!
Also, thanks for letting me know about this conflict! Will note to sort it 
Cheers!
Hi,
Our company’s website is up and running fantastically, thank you. Small request – could I get the original CTA php somehow? I screwed it up beyond repair attempting some customization.
Thanks! Great template!
Hey!
Paste this in your footer.php above the footer-outer div:
<?php
$options = get_option('salient');
global $post;
$cta_link = ( !empty($options['cta-btn-link']) ) ? $options['cta-btn-link'] : '#';
$exclude_pages = (!empty($options['exclude_cta_pages'])) ? $options['exclude_cta_pages'] : array();
if(!empty($options['cta-text']) && current_page_url() != $cta_link && !in_array($post->ID, $exclude_pages)) {
$cta_btn_color = (!empty($options['cta-btn-color'])) ? $options['cta-btn-color'] : 'accent-color'; ?>
<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>
<?php } ?>
Hi Nectar,
A Child Theme question if you don’t mind. I have tried to go through the comments here and in the support area but I am getting a little bit stuck. I have made a child theme following the instructions: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes and http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/133585/ however when I activate it I am missing my menu items and some fonts. I haven’t made a child theme before so I am very happy that I got as far as I have. However could you assist me to get those last things working please? I have a ticket open in the support area should you need to see any back end information: Ticket #160785 Thanks in advance.
Hey 312Media!
I’ll be with you on your ticket soon 
Cheers!
Thanks for solving the fix I needed for Skype. I’m sorry to say that I may have confused you, when I mentioned my ticket number on this thread. That’s my fault and I apologies. As this query was actually about a child theme. Can you help me solve getting the child theme to work please as I am missing the menu items and some of the css when I activate it. You can use the same log in details as you did for the Skype ticket, if you need to see anything in the back end. Thanks again. You guys are the best support ever! Honestly!
Hey again – my apologies for missing your other query! I’ve logged back in and confirmed your child theme was created incorrectly – another user ironically did the same thing a few weeks ago so please refer to the conversation between me and csmurphy viewable here for all the answers 
Thanks for the reply, that link doesn’t work for me I searched the users name but didn’t find any thread on a child theme, would you mind sending it again please?
I think I found the thread you were pointing me too, I have amended the style.css file, but still don’t see my menu, I can add the menu again, but if it is supposed to be there then I must have missed something else, I look forward to your repy. Thanks
Hey again!
I’ve logged back in and assigned the menu to your main nav with your child theme active – the structure still existed, apparently just needed to be assigned
