Hi there, fantastic template first of all! I have a question before I buy your theme: - Is it possible to turn this theme into a one-page scrolling site? - I would also like to add a page where the user could pay a bill with their visa/master etc card. In your template you have included a “shop” option. I however, don’t want to include anything for the user to purchase – I would just like to give the user the option to pay a bill.
Thank you in advance and keep up the great work!
Hey irom!
1. Yes, this would be possible by using this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/page-scroll-to-id/
2. This would require a plugin since there’s nothing built in to assist with a task like this.

Hi ThemeNectar. Thank you so much for your fast reply and your help. I will go ahead and purchase now.
You’re very welcome irom
I like the overlay design that you have on the home-eye candy page that says “THIS IS SALIENT”. it looks like it’s a png file. If I wanted to design my own, what are the specs that you are using for this png?
Hey LiskaD!
You can place any image you want into the caption field, just make sure the width matches the content area of the desktop view (1100px) as this will ensure proper scaling on mobile devices
Cheers
What about if I wanted to design my own text to be at the bottom left. See attachment here… http://i.imgur.com/UAkoPu2.jpg
body .swiper-slide .content {
bottom: 37px!important;
left: 37px!important;
top: auto !important;
}
.swiper-slide .container {
position: static!important;
}
Cheers
Thank you!!!
You’re welcome
I see lots of questions here and support for the URL/Link button option in the Home Slider. I understand how to change the color of the box outline and the text. But can I make the box a solid color rather than transparent? I see that you can do that with the Nectar Slider, but I’ve already created my page with the Home Slider.
Never mind. Found it. #featured article .post-title a { background-color: #f64141!important; border: 0px!important; }
Hey kayeveazey,
thanks for posting the snippet
Video background is working well. Is it possible the change the color overlay to 15 % alpha? Using a gif pattern layover would be an elegant solution. Can I add this via CSS?
Hey royaltask!
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.video-color-overlay {
opacity: 0.15!important;
}
If you wanted to add a texture to it you could also simply set a background on that too.
Cheers
This works! Thank you very much. The overlay texture is showing up but disapears after the video starts playing.
That’s weird – is there anyway you can provide a URL so I can see why it may be fading?
Cheers
Hello,
I’ve used this theme before and it’s exquisite, but I’m looking at implementing it on a site that publishes a large quantity of posts in different categories on a daily basis and I’m trying to come up with a way to structure a homepage that can work at displaying posts from different categories.
How customizable is the shortcode for displaying recent posts or are there other ways of achieving a magazine-like homepage?
Hey HBCompass!
The recent posts element will allow you to define your desired category to pull from, but it will always show 4 posts – changing this would require modding the shortcode-processing.php file located in the nectar/tinymce directory.
The only other option is the blog element but that wouldn’t be appropriate since it sounds like you want multiple of these on the page.
Cheers
Hi,
How do I make all the Featured images used in the blog when added to recent posts on the Home page be consistent in width and height so they are all the same size like your theme?
Thank you.
Hey Slyguy, the live demo doesn’t demonstrate the recent posts element anywhere but if you wanted to do this it would require defining a new image size and adding it to the shortcode in shortcode-processing.php located in the nectar/tinymce directory.
Cheers
How can I make a parent page in the Mega Menu not link to any page? Your Live Demo has linked Parent pages at the top of columns in the Mega Menu but the Parent Pages in the Features Meag Menu do not link. That’s what I want.
Hey PyramidWeb!
Just enter in ”#” for the link URL on any items you wish to lead nowhere.
Cheers
Do you mean changing it on the Edit Page Permalink? It won’t accept a ”#” when I try. It reverts to its’ original link. I can’t see anywhere else to change the URL link. Thanks
I meant in the actual section to add a link in the Appearance > Menus tab of your admin panel http://i.imgur.com/adhB22K.png
Got it! Makes perfect sense now. Thanks again for the quick reply.
No problem!
Cheers
nice theme
Thanks a lot elbisnero!
Hello,
How would I add the following to Youtube
&showinfo=0to your Video Player component of Visual composer?
Also how can I target Specific Rows (in Visual Composer) Margins in CSS?
Thanks
Hey Slyguy,
1. You can actually just paste the youtube iframe code into the text tab on a text page builder element or in the text tab on your class editor and bypass the page builder video element. It will still work the same and you’ll be able to add the parameters you need on the iframe src
2. See if this answers your question: http://youtu.be/N4mt0lOJ888?t=3m25s

Hi!
Can’t get the gallery to appear in the blog section, just like yours (TV one). Created a Gallery type post, added images and set the size..the gallery works..but if you go to the Blog section it does not show up just like yours does.
I think the size thingy..is not working either…if you set it to medium,large, etc..it does not work. And the default ‘thumbnail’ size makes the image so big. I am missing something?
This is my CSS snippet just in case it causes any conflict:
.single .post-featured-img { display: none!important; } .single .post-featured-img img { width: auto!important; max-width: 100%!important; } .comment-list li.comment img.avatar { width: 60px!important; height: 60px!important; } .container-wrap { padding-bottom: 0!important; } @media only screen and (max-width : 690px) { body .nectar-slider-wrap { margin-left: 0px!important; } }
Do you have a Paypal account? We had been asking so many questions and we would like to make a small donation.
Thanks a bunch.

Hey multicorechina!
If you want it to appear on the main blog page above the title as the demo you need to use the raw WordPress gallery (which you can insert by clicking the add media button on your editor) and then just make sure you have the option checked for gallery slider under the editor. The page builder gallery won’t work quite the way you need it for this case. Also In regards to the page builder image size – that option will dictate the size at which the image is served but the images will still stretch to fit the content area they’re in which might have through you off.
Cheers
Hi,
Which kind of gallery shall I use?
Tiled mosaic? Slideshow? Circle? Square Tiles?
Followed your video but I’m on WP 3.8..and I don’t get the option I see in the video which is ‘3 columns’.
Sorry for bothering you.
Woooohooo!! Got it to work finally.
For those on WP 3.8.1..if you want to get the gallery working properly on your Blog..you need to choose ‘Thumbnail Grid’ option. Then ‘Gallery’ on format and remember to tick ‘Gallery slider’ underneath your post editing area.
You rock man.
Thank you.
Glad you sorted it!
Cheers!
Is there a way to use the button shortcode on the sidebar? It’s not displaying it when I use a text widget.
Hey ctingom,
add this into the functions.php
//allow shortcodes in text widget
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
Cheers
Awesome, thanks! That worked.
You’re welcome
Hey there,
Love the theme. First off, I noticed a lot of people asking about custom icons in the bottom footer. Just wanted to point out that it was quite easy to chance the actual icon in the php file. I didn’t even bother changing the rest of it, I just changed the icon itself. My “Pinterest” icon is a phone. Very simple, and I’m a beginner.
I also have two questions-
1. I really like the 3 boxes in full width look that you can do through the recent work shortcode option, as it appears on your demo. I was wondering if you could help me get that exact look with just normal links rather than portfolio items?
2. I want a floating header on the front page only. Advice on that?
Hey jthorngate,
Thanks for mentioning that
1. Unfortunately there’s no way to do this without using the recent projects element – However, since you can choose specific categories to display with it, you can make a category that will only be shown in that one instance on your home page and excluded in the main portfolio. You can then set an external link on each of the projects in the project configuration box
body:not(.home) #header-outer {
position: absolute!important;
}
Cheers
Hi,
Few pre-buy questions:
1 – Is there a “twitter feed” feature in your theme? 2 – Is the theme multi-pages? 3 – Can I use the video background and the sliders (parallax/full width) beyond the homepage? Basically, in addition to the homepage, I want to create three sections including sliders and parallax for each. 4 – Is the theme translation ready?
Thank you,
Seb
Thank you in advance,
Seb
Hey Seb,
1. This would require the use of one of the many twitter feed plugins available.
2. If you’re asking if you can have multiple pages – yes, there’s no limit.
3. Yes of course, the Nectar Slider can be used on any page.
4. Yes it is
Cheers!
Thanks for the reply! One more question. Is there a possibility to have the hamburger navigation concept on mobile be visible at all time. Right now, it disappears as soon as I scroll down. To change section, I then need to scroll all the way up to see this menu again. Thank you.
Hey again!
You can easily make the mobile menu fixed at the top with css, but making it slide from the side would require a fair deal of work.
Cheers
Hi!
I have to work on website of a new client, it’s a Wordpress 2.7.1 with an old Salient Template v. 1.3.
The client can’t find the old http://themenectar.com account. Is there a way to re-download the updated template from themeforest?
Thanks
Hey trexya!
If you don’t have access to the account the theme was purchased on, you’ll have to get in touch with envato so they can reinstate your license and give access to the download again
Hi there!
First: Thanks for this outstanding template. To be able to have access to this is a gift!!!!
Second: since I am a novice at this…would I be able to erase de arrows that shows next to each menu name and to make bigger the menu font?
Really appreciate your time!!! :))
Found here in the forum about the bigger font ?
Would I be able to erase *the arrows that shows next to each menu name?
Hey diazangela!
You can remove them this css snippet (paste it into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel)
body .sf-sub-indicator {
display: none!important;
}
body .sf-menu .sf-with-ul a {
padding-right: 10px!Important;
}
Cheers!
Thank you so much…I am in love with this template!
You’re very welcome!
Hi,
Please, I need to have a list of clients (and other “sections”) below the sortable thumbnails in a portfolio page. Some months ago, you have kindly sente me a version of page-portfolio that achived that, but the now in 3.1 the template is called template-portifolio and substituting or renamed does not work. Wpuls you please help me with that? I would like to launch the sitr using the latest theme and wp version. Thanks a lot.
Hey,
this is now possible without modding as the portfolio became an element usable in the page builder/shortcode generator. Therefore you don’t have to use the portfolio page layout and can easily just arrange it to display where you need it in the page.
Cheers
Argh, it’s me again! Banging my head to the wall about this today..
I’ve modified aside.php, entry.php and single.php but still (even after deleting cookies and stuff) I can’t modify text beneath post title. It’s working on front page and blog pages but not in actual post.
Running out of ideas what file to modify, help!
Hey MalmMedia,
The single post layout uses single.php in the root of the theme folder – you’ll find all that in there
Yeah /themes/salient/single.php ?
That’s the file I’ve been editing and it has no sign about comments or categories. Still it displays them on posts 
EDIT: Works on test site but not in actual site, even after clearing cache. I might be able to solve this on my own tomorrow after ten cups of coffee – i’ll be back!
Please share your URL so I can see what version of the theme you’re on
3.0.5 on test site, 3.1 on actual site.
There should be no difference in the file regarding those two versions but if you can’t figure it out i’d be glad to log in and do it for you
Also make sure the problem isn’t a caching plugin you might have installed.
Cheers!
Hi there Looks like an awesome theme, checked it out on a friends account. I do have a question, though: Can I combine various pages to become one single-page website, where clicking on a menu button will just “jump down” the the corresponding page without opening a new page?
If that’s possible, it’s a go!
Cheers, RizzzO1
Hey RizzzO1!
yes, that’s possible you would just need to use this plugin for the animated scrolling: http://wordpress.org/plugins/page-scroll-to-id/
Cheers
Hey guys,
After seeing this website, I’m going to purchase salient, mind glowingly awesome http://thelifecycle.roblutter.com/creations/
Some ideas or requests to consider if you will please,
1) Can you add a drop down arrow to cover images, for instance on this page http://thelifecycle.roblutter.com/creations/ a small centred drop down arrow on click would move you down the page beautifully to the next content, see this example for it actually working…https://jasonevans.exposure.so/fishermen
2) Can the parallax effect allow for text fading? 3) Can the avatar of the person be added to cover images perhaps 4) Could read time be added to blog entries? 5) Could back end filters be added for photo colour manipulation 6) Can homepage cover banners be dynamic e.g. pull out from blog or portfolio entries? 7) Could you add a off canvas left or right side menu, e.g. like medium.com?
Think that’s it for now
Cheers
Rich
PS What’s the paint roller font Rob is using on his banners – any ideas?
Hey Rich!
1. While they’re no built in option to enable this, it’s still possible by adding an icon/image of a down arrow into the caption field of the slider. You could then wrap it in a link that leads to a # below the slider and get it to smooth scroll with http://wordpress.org/plugins/page-scroll-to-id/
2. The Nectar Slider/Page Header both have text fading with their parallax effect.
3. I’m not sure what you mean on this one, could you elaborate a little more?
4-7 These would indeed require custom development/modding
8. I’m not sure as it’s directly incorporated into the background image and not a font chosen in the theme itself.
Cheers
Thanks for the answers :) re number 3 look at exposure.so basically on the covers for articles I would like to see avatars, an article maybe written by someone else associated with the website be nice to use that persons avatar etc, re 4 to 7 would you consider adding them and indeed the down arrow as extra features to the next version ?? :)
You’re welcome
Did you mean to cross out all of your follow up questions or would you still like me to answer them as well?
Cheers!
Lol sorry dunno how that happened yes please if you could answer them as well. ta
Haha, no worries!
3. Thanks for clarifying this – it would also require custom development.
The next feature based updated is already mapped – but I will these items to the wishlist and if enough traction is gained they will see their way into a release
(The updates I forge are based highly on popular demand)
Cheers!
cool, can you tell me whats planned yet? If nothing else would you please consider adding the bottom arrow on cover images, for mobile and desktop reasons it makes so much sense when you have a big image displayed
I can’t say what’s planned yet because I am still early enough into it where I want to keep it a secret
I will consider that & your other items though!
Cheers
ok that’s cool thanks bud, roughly when is the update out?
A week or so
Is it possible to use the font awesome icons in menu / megamenu?
Hey dojjjjan,
this would take some custom development at the current time, but it’s already on the wishlist
...and the wishlist is very long? 
Decently long, but features are added based on popularity
