Hi, I have problem with uploading files in Salient settings/options, for example favicon, logo, marker icon upload doesn’t work – after click on button nothing happens. The same problem is with upload slide image. Media library work normally. Problem exists on Firefox, Chrome and IE. Could you help me? Thanks.
Hey bymouse, it sounds like you have a plugin conflict – have you tried deactivating them to see if that’s the case?
If that’s not it, then also ensure you’re on WordPress 3.5+ (that’s the minimum required version).
Cheers!
Thank you for fast reply. After deactivating plugins nothing happens… I have 3.8.1–pl_PL.
Can you let me log in to further investigate? If so please send your credentials to themenectar@gmail.com 
Thanks!
Thanks so much!
You’re welcome 
Hi there,
Another question: I noticed with WooCommerce activated, the shopping cart icon disappears on the top nav between 1080px and 1000px width for the browser.
Is there any way to make it so the cart is visible at all widths including this range?
Thanks and I look forward to your reply.
Excellent theme btw!
Best, Larry
Hey Larry!
Add this into your Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) and (max-width: 1080px) {
.cart-outer { display: block!important; }
}
Cheers 
Thank you! However, is there a way so that it doesn’t overlap with the Search icon? Like is there a way the whole menu could move to the left as the browser shrunk down its width? Thank you so much for your help!
Hey again!
Add this as well:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) and (max-width: 1080px) {
.container {
max-width: 790px!important;
}
}
Cheers 
That worked – Thank you so much!
You’re very welcome!
So the only way to get a really nice photo gallery (grid of photos, not a slider with photos) is to add a portfolio project for EACH image, then use the portfolio option in VC and apply the prettyPhoto/lighbox only option. Right? That’s a lot of work.
The “Image Gallery” choice in Visual Composer doesn’t seem to make a gallery of images, only a slider of the images. It would be really nice if the “Image Gallery” was more like the portfolio option with the lightbox only option and actually gave you a gallery…
Please let me know if I’m doing something wrong or if I’m accurate!
The wordpress gallery doesn’t offer left and right arrows when done through the VC btw. I have to use classic editor and then add the regular wordpress gallery to the bare page, then I lose the ability to set a background on my VC Row. Lightbox on a regular wordpress gallery does not work unless it’s trhough the VC. I have a plugin that will take care of it, but my first request would be the best solution and match the theme better…
Hey OcalaWebsiteDesigns
1. That’s correct – the gallery element in the page builder was just added with the last major release, but additional styles are planned for it (including a portfolio grid look).
2. That’s weird, I’ll look into what’s causing the discrepancy 
Cheers
Hi, I am very interested in purchasing the theme, I have one question before buying, the only way you can scroll the website is by using the nav bar on the right, is the theme not set or can it be set to scroll without having to use this nav bar?
From a user point of view on a tablet and phone it’s would be good to be able to scroll the site directly opposed to having to use the right scroll bar. I hope you can help answer this.
Thanks,
G7UY
For android the above comment applies to has no scrollbar on ipad iphone etc
Hey G7UY,
You just need to view the theme directly here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/ and not the ThemeForest iframe – that can mess up scrolling on some devices 
Hi there, I still believe this theme is totally awesome!
1) What is the exact size of the slider background? and the image of the half tablet? on this page please http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266
Thank you kindly V
Hey V!
1. The images used in that slider are 2000×700 and the sliders height is set to 650.
2. Here’s the Half tablet image: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/weather-app1.png it’s 1920×845
Cheers 
Awesome thanks!
You’re welcome 
How is the blue transparency achieved in the demo slider on the about page. It looks like its coming from the nectar slider but can’t seem to find out where the transparency effect is coming from??
I want to achieve the same thing but ???
Thanks
Hey Joe!
The Nectar Slider only has the option to overlay a pattern texture – however rows inside the page builder can have color overlays on video backgrounds 
I demonstrate that here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4mt0lOJ888
Cheers, thanks…I saw in another post this isn’t achievable in the theme. You did this in Adobe I think…I have all CS6 Master collection so I guess I’ll have to Google it to find out how its done. This could be useful for sure.
Thanks again
Yes, it used to not be an option but I added it in as one (for rows only not the slider) in 3.0
So if you need it in the slider you could achieve it in Premiere or After Effects since you have the master collection 
Cheers!
Hi,
Is it possible to just update the slider ? (I don’t make a child theme)
Many thanks Regards
Hey da1234,
what version are you currently on?
Hey
Version 2.1.5
Thanks
Hey again!
You would have to replace the nectar-slider.js script in the js folder, and the nectar slider sections of the shortcode-processing.php file / functions.php file
Many thanks, but what about the “home slider” ? Thanks boss
You’re welcome 
The Home Slider hasn’t received any new features since before 2.0 (nectar slider took precedence)
hello admin i had problem salient theme it doesnt display slider well in ipad view using safari browser how can i fix this issue?
here’s the screenshot https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/v/t34/1613794_10200651049357966_273287835_n.jpg?oh=250d3e1917b249a988f0b68f52c94f9e&oe=52F6311E&__gda__=1391898468_2cae5af71d3fefc9376b2fb67ea844eflooking forward God bless
Hey saadiallan,
could I get a URL so I can see this behavior myself? I can’t seem to replicate that in mobile safari here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/home/home-basic/
Cheers 
Where do I send email if we want to hire you for a few custom made changes? Changes are something you’ve said earlier “can be made with few hours coding”.
Accept the challenge?
Hey MalmMedia!
Unfortunately I am totally swamped with work to the point where I can’t accept any freelance gigs – but if you need modifications done you could head on over to microlancer which is a service from Envato that offers paid WordPress customizations. I’m sure a developer on there would be able to wrap this up for you 
One update request.
1. Ability to center menu
Hey stevef22!
Additional header styles are on the wishlist already 
Cheers
#portfolio-nav {
display: none!important;
}
and
.section-title {
display: none!important;
}
But there is a space between the main menu and the “custom banner”.
Thank you very much!
Hey Rofe!
Could you show me a your URL to a portfolio page?
The snippet:
#portfolio-nav {
display: none!important;
}
is correct, but you might need additional css that I can provide as well 
Cheers
Hi. Here is an exsample: http://bit.ly/1cbVQsg There is a big space at the top of the slider.
And 2. I made a gallery but the arrow at the bottom is hidden by images. How can I fix that? Link: http://bit.ly/1fFy6iK
Thanks!!!!
Hey!
1. Use this snippet:
#portfolio-nav {
display: none!important;
}
Currently it looks like you’re using the other one to just hide the section title. After that, set the top padding on your row holding the slider to 0.
2. Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
#pagination.fw-pagination {
margin-top: 50px!important;
}
Cheers 
Hi!
The 2. solution works great! Thanks.
But the first problem is not solved
I put the 2 snippet at the “custom CSS” section into the particular portfolio page, the “Top Padding: 0” and I insert a new row (also padding 0) with a random background just for testing… now there is a white space and also a black space between the main menu and the image background.
Link: http://bit.ly/1cbVQsg
I´m doing something wrong?
Thank you for the quick reply!!
I forgot to mention if you’re going to use a parallax slider – it is also going to have the calculations to accommodate the header that would normally be there.
Add this as well into your Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
body.single-portfolio .parallax_slider_outer.first-section {
margin-top: -30px!important;
}
.project-title.parallax-effect {
display: none!important;
}
in my font page, the the portfolio, I went to typography section to change my font to make it bigger , but it dont let me chance any bigger…
www.longtran.co
Hey longzone,
what text were you trying to change specifically in the portfolio? The entire page text, the single project title, the thumbnail hover text etc..
in the typography option, it is Standard Header. I used Codystar font, but i dont let me make it any bigger
The heading for some elements are constrained to sizes to ensure they always fit in the given space. If you’re talking about the thumbnail heading enter this into your Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.portfolio-items .col h3 {
font-size: 20px!important;
}
Hi there,
In Safari Mobile size, whenever I load my portfolio individual details page, the text from the bottom (or in Desktop it would be the sidebar) overlays on top of the image above it (the page is http://publicmarking.com/?portfolio=pre-volume-2-lookbook) – how can I fix this?
Thank you for your help and I look forward to your reply.
Best, Larry
FYI this doesn’t happen in Chrome or Firefox though. Incredible theme by the way!
Sorry a better example is: http://publicmarking.com/?portfolio=pre-volume-2-lookbook
Hey Larry!
Try and open the init.js file located in the js folder, find this section:
$(window).load(function(){
piVertCenter();
});
and change it to this:
$(window).load(function(){
piVertCenter();
portfolioCommentOrder();
});
That did it! Thank you for your help!
Great to hear 
Cheers!
I am trying to make a one page website. When creating a menu, can I make it scroll once you click on it? For example I have a menu with ‘contact’ and then once I click on it my website scrolls to the bottom where my contact form is?
Hey PixelConcepts!
Yes, you can use this plugin to give you that scroll animation: http://wordpress.org/plugins/page-scroll-to-id/
Cheers 
Yes I just found that plugin. Do you mind explaining how it works? How i can integrate it? I tried looking for solution but nothing helped me.
Sure, once you’ve activated it you can literally drag and drop your portfolio items in the order you want them to be in 
What do you mean drag and drop? I done my one page design now I just have to link all the sections with the menu and the plugin. I can’t figure it out :/
My apologies, I got your last question confused with another who was asking about this plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/ – ignore my last response.
To use the scroll to plugin you just need to add anchor links from your menu items. So for example, ”#about” could be entered into a link: http://i.imgur.com/XUvsNXj.png and then it would correlate with the section on your page where you have:
<div id="about"> </div>
(which gets added through the text tab of course).
Finally, in the plugin settings there’s an input that says “selectors”. Add this inside of it:
a[href*='#']
Cheers!
How do I sort the portfolio so that way certain things show first? I want to show some of my portfolio items before other ones, is there also a way I can do it by category as well? For instance in category A this item is first, in category B this item is first. I just need a way of ordering them, thanks.
Hey Brashell61,
the easiest and most robust way to sort your items will be through this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/
Cheers 
Hello, first I want to congratulate you on this topic. I bought recently. I have a question. Is there any way to add other social networks like Flickr and 500px?
Thank you.
Hey zonacincofoto!
You could add in your own icons in the header/footer by opening those files (header.php & footer.php) and adding your own list item into the
<ul id="social">
The list item would look like this:
<li><img src="your-img-src.jpg" />
Thank You
You’re welcome 
Hi, I like this theme and am thinking to buy it for my video site.
If I use this theme I mainly will use this page as my homepage to show my portfolio videos: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio-4-columns/Some questions of it:
1.) Can the theme disable to show the top bar of ” Our Portfolio Crafted with love & care”? So it will show all portfolio items directly without rolling down.
2.) While the mouse move over the item (for example a video item), now it shows “Watch Video” and “More Details”, can the theme just displays “Watch Video” and let user play the video directly? For me I do not need the “More Details”
3.) The color bg of the button now is light green, I believe it can be changed, and the opacity can be lower too, right?
Thank you very much!
Hey hoyinli!
1. Yes, that’s an option page header.
2. Yes, this you could activate the gallery only option within the portfolio to get rid of the more details page.
3. Yes, with custom css provided by me 
Cheers!
Thank you for your quick reply. Happy to know all the answers are Yes.
I have two more questions (please bear with me
)
1.) In your demo, it supports Vimeo, I guess it also support Youtube, right? Just want to make sure.
2.) In the demo, when clicking on the video item, “Watch Video” now, it will pop up the video only. If I want to have a short message and a button beside the video, like this screenshot from other site:
http://themeoflove.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/pop_up_02.jpgdo I have to modify the code?
Thank you very much!!
You’re welcome!
1. Yes, Youtube is supported too 
2. You would indeed have to modify the file which is responsible for showing the video. It would take a bit of tinkering, but it’s possible as long as you’re comfortable with html/css.
Cheers!
salient template remove header
curious is there a good way to remove the nav header entirely? when using the full screen slider it is hard to get a full bleed. i have messed with the css some and it looks like something is overriding the header even if the below is set to 0.
header-space {
height: 0px; }
maybe there is a better way to hide or remove the top header? basically i want a full bleed slider on my index page.
suggestions? theme has worked out great by the way and im always surprised with the new additions. thanks!
also would be nice to know how to hide the mobile menu. thanks
Hey ozoneinteractive,
1. Add this to your Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
#header-outer, #header-space {
display: none!important;
}
2. Add this in as well:
body header#top #toggle-nav {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers!
like a boss! thanks for coming through. 1. worked perfect – i get no menu assigned on 2. tho – if a blank menu is assigned i get the search bar. so i guess i need to hide that as well?
You’re welcome!
2. If you’re using the css snippet I provided, the button to open the mobile menu in the first place should be removed so the user shouldn’t even be able to reach it in the first place. For whatever reason if that’s no the case on your setup – use this to hide the mobile search:
#mobile-menu #mobile-search {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers!
yeah not sure why the search bar shows up when the menu is hid. either way hiding it works so once again thank you kindly. huge help
You’re welcome! 
could a custom class=”” and or rel= ”” be added to the slider so that when a full size slide is clicked it knows to pop up a specific light box instead of loading a page? ideally i would add the following class to the full slide link to pop up the light box i am using.
class=”lbp_secondary cboxElement” rel=”lightbox[secondary-demo]”
Hey again!
It would have to be done in the functions.php file – open that up, search for this line:
$slider .= '<a href="'. $full_slide_link.'" class="entire-slide-link"></a>';and change it to:
$slider .= '<a class="lbp_secondary cboxElement" rel="lightbox[secondary-demo]" href="'. $full_slide_link.'"></a>';
thanks man – so i tried it out and its not working. probably because the php file doesn’t know what css file to find the class in? if a link with the same class and rel is added to any page body the lightbox is called and functions properly. here is the link that I would add to any page to call the light box.
<a href="" class="lbp_secondary cboxElement" rel="lightbox[secondary-demo]" title="">Text</a>
i realize this is a little out of the scope of support but thought i would ask since you have been so helpful in the past and its super close to working 
You’re welcome!
Anyway I could get a URL so I can see this failing to work?
Cheers
for sure – just dont go making fun of my ghetto hacks openly 
url> http://www.ozoneinteractive.com/wp/
currently the first slide in the slide show has a full slide link button and here is the code that i added based on your comment.
if($link_type == 'full_slide_link' && !empty($full_slide_link)) {
$slider .= '<a href="'. $full_slide_link.'" class="lbp_secondary cboxElement" rel="lightbox[secondary-demo]"></a>';
}
Whoops! Change that line to this:
if($link_type == 'full_slide_link' && !empty($full_slide_link)) {
$slider .= '<a href="'. $full_slide_link.'" class="entire-slide-link lbp_secondary cboxElement" rel="lightbox[secondary-demo]"></a>';
}
and done – cant thank you enough – best support ever! much appreciated
would be cool if you could use the swipe feature and the full slide link – some kind of mouse click drag detection. but that’s just me being picky. 
have a good weekend
Thanks for the suggestion & have a good weekend too 
back again – is there a good way to remove the header and footer from say just a template page, not globally? for instance lets say i duplicate a home page template. in that template can i hide the header and footer? much appreciated 
Hey again!
yes, you could add this on the css box located in the visual composer view on your desired pages – it will only get applied on the pages it’s entered on instead of globally 
#header-outer, #header-space, #footer-outer {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers 
thanks for the reply – much appreciated – so what if I’m on an old version of the theme which doesn’t have the visual composer?
no biggie – i was able to instal a custom css plugin that works on a per page basis – if you have another way tho I’m all for hearing about it
never hurts to know more about stuff – all the best
That’s probably just as easy – the only other way would require targeting pages specificaly through ID’s in the custom css box in the Salient options panel, which would be more work for the same result.
Cheers 
Can I use sticky sidebar in any page?
Hey oscarnava1984,
the sticky sidebar is currently only usable in portfolio items.
Cheers 
Hey Themenectar,
Any chances that we might see some other font icons included such as Icomoon?
Thanks!
Hey Syrehn!
Perhaps down the road I will add more
