I have an odd padding on my Logo, and Portfolio. Above the logo and above/below portfolio that I can’t pinpoint. Its the gallery-only portfolio here: http://brokenfiredesigns.com. I have deactivated all plugins and removed most of the custom css.
You skipped me!!! There is spacing on my menu and on the gallery-only portfolio on my home page that shouldn’t be there. I can’t find what is causing it can I get a little help? The site link is above.
Hey freshlesh3, sorry about that 
1. The menu relies on having at least one nav item to calculate the bottom padding – if you’re not using any items just add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
#header-outer {
padding-bottom: 18px !important;
padding-top: 18px !important;
}
2. I can’t see a hap above the portfolio, can you perhaps provide a screenshot showing what you mean?
Cheers!
The portfolio had a padding issue as well. I created a temp site with Salient installed and the visual composer options on that site were dramatically different that on the live site. The live site only shows about 7 options.
I would need to log in to that setup so I could investigate why a lot of the options were missing since that’s not a known issue. Can you please open a ticket here: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ in regards?
Cheers
Hello Nectar, Trying to improve the Main Menu speed. I like the menu to show without fade in or fadeout. Can I ajust this in the js? What file can I start with?
Hey again royaltask!
Open your init.js file located in the js folder and modify this:
$(".sf-menu").superfish({
delay: 900,
speed: 'fast',
speedOut: 'fast',
animation: {opacity:'show'}
});
to this:
$(".sf-menu").superfish({
delay: 0,
speed: 0,
speedOut: 0,
animation: {opacity:'show'}
});
Cheers
This is what I was looking for, I have a fast menu now. Thanks!
You’re very welcome
Hi there, I purchased your theme and I think this is the best theme I’ve ever seen. Very accurate programming and beautiful design. I just have one question and I really hope you can help me: I’m trying to get rid of the call to action button on the portfolio page, since it has to appear anywhere else but not on that page. Even if I select that page in the settings for the button not appear there, the button still appears. I have treid to update permalinks and every imaginable stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Hey artedesigner, thanks a lot!
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.single-portfolio #call-to-action, .page-template-template-portfolio-php #call-to-action {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers

Weird Latency to Nectar Slider/Header Images Load
Yo!
There is a very strange latency to the Nectar Slider and header images loading on our homepage; it gets worse from IE to Firefox to Chrome (i.e. almost non-existent in later(est) versions of IE, to being noticeable/mildly annoying in Firefox, to REALLY bad – “bad” as in f*&k-this-website-I’m-leaving bad in Chrome).
See Here for Nectar Slider: http://WebsiteTrafficWarehouse.net Here for Header Image: http://websitetrafficwarehouse.net/buy-website-traffic-instatraffic-system/
I have spoken with both my CDNs (CloudFlare and MaxCDN), and they haven’t got a clue why it would be doing this and asked that I defer to the developer of the theme.
Any ideas?
Thanks as always, A.
Hey A!
Weirdly enough both pages are loading completely normally for me on Chrome on PC – with no cache the header/slider appeared in about 2-3 seconds. What version of Chrome / OS are you seeing this issue on? Have you been able to replicate this on another computer as well?
Cheers
Latest version of Chrome; XP, 7, Vista. Same thing across-the-board. My wife’s office is on a different network, however, and she describes the load time in Chrome as “faster than a fly on crack” but I’m not sure she understands what I want her to look for.
Literally, though: the slider will pop-in and act like it’s loading (grey screen, diagonal lines, load bar) then disappears to a white screen for 5 – 7 seconds, then reappears and does its thing. So maybe it’s an issue with my office network (?). I’ll have some other people check it out today from various locations.
A.
Oh, and is there a way to not display the number of shares next to the social share icons? All those zeros look awful on a new site, so I’d like to turn the numbers off for now. (the numbers only display on certain pages, by the way. The social icons on the homepage, as one example, are not showing the number of shares, just the icons themselves. Why is that?).
A.
Hey again,
1. That is very strange – let me know the new developments after testing in a different location
.single-portfolio .facebook-share span, .single-portfolio .twitter-share span, .single-portfolio .pinterest-share span, .single-post .col.section-title .facebook-share span, .single-post .col.section-title .twitter-share span, .single-post .col.section-title .pinterest-share span, .pinterest-share span, .facebook-share span, .twitter-share span {
display: none!important;
}
I think the social shares not fading in on the home page might have something to do with the fact you placed them in a column with a fade in animation – can you try removing that?
Re: Chrome Issue
Yeah, other people are seeing it too. I was (sort of) able to capture what it’s doing with WebPageTest.org. At the 5.3 second marker, the video stops but you can see the screen white out at that point, which is where the slider is latent for about another 5 seconds before appearing: http://www.webpagetest.org/video/view.php?id=140226_G5_HWD.1.0 Running the same test specs with the only change being the browser switched to Firefox renders the slider (albeit at a later time marker that coincides very roughly with when Chrome fully renders the slider in real-world tests): http://www.webpagetest.org/video/view.php?id=140226_6E_J51.1.0Oh, and the code worked great. No more big ugly zeros.
A.
Hey again – that’s way different than what I’m able to see on my end. In the worst case scenario using Chrome with no cache I see a 5 second load (which at that point the entire page is completely done). Have you tried to reach out to your actual hosting company as the problem must be there and not your CDN.
after last update of salient (3.1) and last update of google chrome (33.0.1750.117)
We have this problems:
1- when we look for something in the search form, dont see any result in the search result page. The page is blank.
2- our video in the home, using nectar slider, each time it loops have a jumping effect, its like leaving the place and then coming back for start playing again from the beginning.
Hey mzuker, I can’t seem to able to replicate either of those issues in the latest Chrome, can you also see this on the live demo? If not, please share your URL so I can take a look
buda mail dot com
Hey again,
I’m seeing a javascript error on the search results page – one that does normally exist in 3.1, do you have any mods or possibly plugin conflicts? I’ve also tested with the same parallax slider on my local Salient 3.1 on Chrome using your video files and can’t get that to happen. Are you sure you have done a clean update where the entire theme was delete before uploading the latest copy?
Cheers
I want my website to have a home page that resembles the Home (portfolio Eye candy)
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/home-portfolio-eye-candy/I can’t seem to figure out or understand the first step in order to get this accomplished – PLEASE help. Thank you.
I just want people to land on my page and to be able to view my portfolio of items right away.
Best, Alex
By the way – I’ve actually purchased 2 copies, one for me and a client ! I love this theme and want to know how to do more with it
Hey dogumdesign!
You can always import the included dummy data file to get that setup and others to use/learn from. You just need to create a page to house the layout and insert a nectar slider on top and portfolio set to full width masonry with the “Meta on hover + entire thumb link” option. That’s the structure of the page – as for setting the portfolio items up correctly for a masonry view, please see the “Masonry Sizing” section of the user guide
Cheers
Thanks 
– Much appreciated
You’re welcome!
Hi. I just download the last update file (3.1). The last time I update the theme I spend a lot of time changing some options again. There is any easy way to update the theme? Thank you!!!
Hey Rofe, when updating correctly there should be no discrepancy in the theme options before/after. All you need to do is activate another theme, delete the current version of Salient and upload the new. This is all done in the Appearance > Themes tab of your admin panel
It works!!!! Thank you very much!
You’re welcome
Hey, great theme!
Is it possible to center the logo?
Hey sq1983!
It would take some custom css – I intend on adding additional header options going forward though
Cheers!
Thanks! But… could you help me with the custom css?
header#top nav {
text-align: center!important;
}
header#top nav > ul {
float: none!important;
display: inline-block!important;
}
body #header-outer .span_9, body #header-outer .span_3 {
display: block!important;
float: none!important;
margin: 0!Important;
width: 100%!important;
}
header#top #logo img {
margin: 0 auto 20px auto!important;
}
Great, thank you!!
You’re welcome!
Hello again my friend, hope you are well.
I have read through some past comments and integrated the custom skype code you gave me, and have used it in my footer, it looks good however I need to reduce the bottom of the box, what can I add to the following code, or remove to get it to fit above the footer copyright please? (i added the margin-bottom part, but it made no difference, it did however add another skype button on my contact page which isnt obviously needed?)
footer-widgets .col.span_6.col_last {
.skype-btn { margin-top: -35px; }
.skype-btn { margin-bottom: -35px;
} .skype-btn img { margin-left: -0!important; }
Thanks in advance
Hey 312!
Can you share the URL so I can check it out in order to give the right css?
Cheers
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Same login details as used on Ticket #160785, please do let me know if you need anything else from me.
Hey again! So I’m on your site right now but can’t see any skype button added to the footer – do you still have it there?
Sorry, that was a school boy error by me, as I took it off whilst trying to make it work, and forgot to put it back on. I have added it the code again.
Also FYI it does not fit on the mobile screen at present, so if you wouldn’t mind taking that in to consideration then I would be very grateful. Thanks again.
Hey
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
#footer-outer #dropdown_SkypeButton_Call_three12group_1 li {
padding: 0!important;
line-height: 26px!important;
border: none!important;
}
Awesome, going to give it a try right away. Thanks.
Thanks again, gave it a go and it works perfectly
Great to hear!
Cheers
Sorry Nectar, but the code might need a small adjustment as it worked on the contact page footer, but it doesn’t show on any of the other page footers. Any help is highly appreciated.
Try this
#footer-outer ul[id^=dropdown_SkypeButton] li {
padding: 0!important;
line-height: 26px!important;
border: none!important;
}
Sorry, that didn’t add the button to the other pages footers
The script must not be loading when adding it to the footer and only works because the script is loading for the contact page. I’ll log in and take a look for you if you want – please just post another comment on that ticket you already have open in regards to get back ion the queue (if you haven’t already).
Cheers
Thanks again, I have Ticket: #169918 pending so have updated the notes on that one, instead of opening another ticket.
Thanks – I’ll be with you as soon as I can
Hi,
Sorry I wrote the last questions with my former Themeforest account (“zaepffel”) but I actually purchased your theme.
Thanks again
No problem!
Hi,
Thank you very much for the theme which is very powerful.
As I am discovering the theme, I have three questions: 1/ I don’t exactly understand how the extra css classes work. For example, in a page I have added this CSS code to change the background color of the boxed columns: .wpb_column.boxed {
background-color: #b7b7b7;}
But I have two columns and I would like to apply different background colors to each of them. Is it possible to add an extra class for one column and create a reference in the custom CSS?
2/ I am using internal URL links on one page with a div tag in a text block for example. But when I try to use this tag in a link, it seems to go a bit randomly around this text block. I observed different landing locations depending on the web browser or the device I am using. Is there a way to set a strict landing element for such an internal link? I would like to go exactly at the top of a text block…
2/ bis. In addition, I would like to add a smooth scroll to this internal link, is it possible with this theme or do I have to add custom javascript code?
3/ I have a last question concerning the slider locations. I would like to have two different slider locations with exactly the same slides in it but a different slide ordering. I tried to create those two slider locations but when I change the slide ordering of one of the slider location it automatically changes the ordering of the other as if they were linked. Do you know how I could create such slider locations?
Many thanks for your time,
Hey zaepffel!
1. You can actually add a custom class on each column and then use that in your rules to handle this. However, there’s a minor issue with column class names that’s going to be resolved in the upcoming release – please see this in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/163952/search/
2a. You’re probably experiencing this because of the fixed header which is covering the top of the anchor – there’s a lot of workarounds out there for this issue such as: http://www.pixelflips.com/blog/anchor-links-with-a-fixed-header/
2b. http://wordpress.org/plugins/page-scroll-to-id/
3. A quick workaround would be to simply create two sets of the same slides which you could then order differently since they will have unique ID’s
Cheers
Hi, im trying to use (http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/home-blog/) as a single static page with some content.
How can i get the pages without any Wordpress at all?? As i dont need all wordpress thing to have this simple home.
Cheers!!!!!
Hey gsmonica! Are you trying to get the Nectar Slider and Masonry Blog layouts completely separated from WordPress? If so, please open a ticket at http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ for some advice
Thanks!
Hi,
Is it possible to have one image for a portfolio item, and then use another one when hovering over the post/clicking on the item to view the full post?
best,
Hey again!
It would custom development for the hover swap, but it’s possible to change the image on the main project page easily. Just set your featured image as usual for the main project page and then select the option to “Hide Featured Image/Video on Single Project Page?” which cause it to be removed on the single page and allow you to place whatever you like in the extra content editor to display first
Cheers
Thank you very much for this! Ill try it out! In terms of custom development on this theme, do you offer services in this on this theme for h/r?
You’re welcome!
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 most things up for you
Marker Contact Map is not showing up. I even tried custom marker. I am using FF 27.0.1
Hey royaltask, there’s no known issues with contact map markers – are you sure you have location #1 turned on with a lat/lng added? Just adding a center point lat/lng won’t add a marker. If you do indeed have coordinates entered with a location please open a ticket on http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ so I can take a look
This worked. I forgot to set a marker correct. Thanks!
You’re welcome
Hi,
I have purchased the theme while it was still fresh, superb functions and great pace of updates and fixes!
I have a small problem now with the masonry style portfolio on Chrome, the wide thumbnails appear a few pixels wider and push other thumbnails away resulting in gaps. It is fine on Firefox though (and I remember it was OK a few days before on Chrome as well).
Also for some visitors there are certain Nectar image slider backgrounds that appear black. They are the same file type, compression, etc, no real difference in size, so I guess randomly. Is it a server issue maybe?
Thanks for the reply in advance.
Hey zhuravno!
1. Please see this in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/168309/
2. Can you supply me a URL to the slider in question so I can see if there’s an discrepancies on my end?
Cheers!
Hi! Thanks for the reply! Regarding 2., well, several, random slides generally do not load, can not say which, just a black screen, but on the second or third visit they load finally. I am using Nectar sliders for almost every project (http://brickvisual.com/projects/ ), the slides are less then 1 MB. Thanks for the help!
You’re welcome!
I checked on Firefox/Chrome/Latest IE and couldn’t get this behavior to occur – do you have any idea what browser they were using and have you been able to replicate this yourself yet?
(Great work by the way)
Cheers
woocommerce – same issue as sanjsahota1983.
Instead of a lightbox the image opens up on a new page. This happens to single images, if I add more than one image it opens the ligtbox.
Hey royaltask – please check out this in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/165675/search/

Hi,
Really nice theme but I just have a couple of issues that my client would like me to address.
I have implemented the nectar slider on my pages here: http://www.motivproductions.co.uk/services/
There is a white border at the bottom of the slider which I want to remove but I can’t seem to find the code for it anywhere.
Please advise me how to remove it.
Also the responsiveness of the slider seems to work a lot better on the homepage video http://www.motivproductions.co.uk/ than it does on the image sliders on the other pages eg http://www.motivproductions.co.uk/services/
On smaller screens the height of the image is retained and takes up too much of the screen. Is there anyway of editing the settings to change this?
Many Thanks
Rory
Hey Rory!
1. Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.nectar-slider-wrap.first-section {
background-color: #98D037!important;
}
2. Can you ensure that you’ve entered a height for the height parameter on the slider such as “600”?
Cheers
Thanks for that, all fixed now
I just have two more queries if you don’t mind? I’ve taken over the development from somebody else who has developed a child theme. Unfortunately this has caused a few issues with the edits
On the portfolio page: http://www.motivproductions.co.uk/projects/
1. the green overlay and links are not displaying on the portfolio tabs on rollover, I can tell the buttons are there as the mouse scrolls over them but they are not visible. Any ideas on how to display them again?
2. For some reason the nectar slider on this portfolio page is not displaying properly on firefox or safari but ok on chrome. It is positioned halfway across the page but I am using the same shortcode that displays fine on the other pages.
Thanks for your help
Rory
actually I’ve fixed the second issue. Still struggling with point 1 though if you have any ideas?
thanks,
Rory
Hey again Rory!
Have you modified the init.js at all? The markup on the page still looks correct, but the actual hover event seems disconnected. If you haven’t modified the script it could also be plugin related – If you can supply me admin credentials I’ll gladly help investigate
Cheers
Hi,
I have raised a ticket with the admin credentials. I tried uploading the original init.js but there was no change.
Thanks,
Rory
Thanks – I’ll be with you as soon as I can
Hey Phectar,
Just curious if this was a possibility…..
I have an instagram that I post my art to and was wondering if it was possible to have the portfolio section display the art pics of my choosing? say 12 of my favorite pieces to be inserted into the gallery with a sort portfolio tab that says instagram so it can be filtered?
If this isn’t possible perhaps a future update then?
Also speaking of the Sort Portfolio section, the hover color is super dark. Anyway you could hook me up with a code snippet to brighten that color up some?
I really appreciate your time sir!
-CS
Hey CS!
1. If you’re talking about pulling the photo’s directly form instagram and into the portfolio without creating items in the admin panel – this would indeed require custom development (a good deal of it too). I can note this for the wishlist, but if you need this you could always check out Microlancer and have a dev wrap it up for you relatively quick
body #portfolio-filters-inline.non-fw ul li a:hover {
color: #F48A00!important;
}
Cheers!
Hi! Is there a way to add html5 animations made with Hype2? I see the image but no animations. Can there be a conflict? Great theme by the way!
Thanks kpott!
If you can show me the page where it’s failing i’d be glad to take a peek for you
Cheers
