Hey Bud, forgot to ask you, any chance you could potentially pull dribble, instagram, 500px feeds etc into slideshows or masonry grids on the theme? this would would an awesome feature 
Keeps it dynamic and fresh and so many people use these services as well as twitter and Facebook these days, for designers dribble feed, for photographers, 500px & instagram (VSCO Cam is getting popular as well).
Rich
Hey Rich, thanks for the suggestion!
Cheers
Welcome what are the chances?
I’ve noted it – the chances would be based on popular demand
Hey ThemeNectar,
I like how you handle most featured images in the masonry blog view (thumbnail, top of post). However, I’d like to have these images smaller and floating left on the actual post. The full width image takes up too much screen real estate. Is there any Custom CSS I can add to adjust the image size and position?
Thanks
Hey Meynstey!
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
.single .wp-post-image {
float: left !important;
margin-right: 25px;
width: 60%!important;
}
}
Cheers
Hey Nectar,
I just want to say a massive thank you to you for your help in getting our new site launched. We’ve had a great response, and it’ll be a fantastic extension of our brand online for some time to come I’m sure.
I have a couple of quick post-launch issues that I’d love your thoughts on:
1. The video performance of the Nectar slider under Safari is pretty horrible (even with highly compressed video – under 10mb) Is there a way to browser detect and perhaps default to the BG image? – It kinda ruins a great impression when the video freezes 2 or 3 seconds in (even on fast connections)
2. I’ve got Yoast running as per the Theme suggestions, but we’ve got some weird snippet info running out to Google… // 00:00. Initializing… stage: 320×240 file: http://luxhd.tv/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/LUXHD_GALLERY.mp4.mp4 autoplay: false preload: none isvideo: true … // Do you know what might be causing this?
3. I noticed there’s an update available. I’ve coded everything into the custom CSS box – so I assume that’ll be safe if I upload the new files via FTP / or update via WP dash?
Thanks again my man – fantastic support. Love your thoughts on the new site at http://luxhd.tv
Thanks bud.
Hey again radiantfilms!
1. I’m also seeing a 2 second load time for Safari, but I don’t know if I could consider that to be horrible 
– If you wanted to deactivate the video for Safari only it would require some custom javascript development. Which might be more trouble than it’s worth.
2. How long ago did you setup Yoast and did you enter the meta information for your landing page? The Google description can take a few days to update once adding the correct tags.
3. Yes, you’re safe to update
Cheers as always!
Hey man – thanks for the response.
1. Was that on our site? – I can live with 2 seconds… The testing we’ve done has been a lot longer (more about stalling video than overall performance) – I’ll keep an eye on it.
2. More than a week ago – All meta entered… Have you seen that before? – Just concerned it won’t ‘right’ itself
3. Will update! Cheers! C.
1. Yes, and that was Safari on Windows 7 PC.
2. Do you have a Webmaster Tools account? If not, set one up to adjust the crawl rate for your site.
3. Cheers
Hey Nectar, Could you clarify that Webmaster Tools suggestion for me please? Is that within Google Analytics? I’ve waited a few days and the strange Nectar slider code is still appearing in my search results snippet – obviously there’s a little gremlin somewhere in my site. Thanks mate. C.
Hey again!
Since I mentioned this to you I’ve actually done more research on the subject and found out what’s really going on. Please see this conversation between me and mzuker in regards.
Hi Nectar – thanks for the update. Unfortunately, as I read it, there’s no current solution? It’s a pretty major issue, as the video/slider seems to be throwing off the latest way Google is indexing sites. (Which I agree sicks a bit) I’ve reset Yoast, and removed hidden header info, and thought I’d wait and see what Google finds… but it doesn’t sound like its going to help very much. Would really appreciate your help in looking into this further mate – its a bit beyond my skillset to try to fix the issue.
It seems Google has changed the meta description to be dynamic meaning it will change based on what you search along with your domain. Also if you search that:
00:00. Initializing… stage
into Google alone you’ll see almost a million results come up. The meta description is still set correctly on these sites, but Google is favoring pulling the page content instead. Any site that uses a video at the top of their page will be effected – regardless of the theme their using or the way they have their site set up it seems.
Ok – understood. So, at the moment you aren’t able to suggest a work around? – Would there be anyway of inserting hidden code prior to the video / slider so we could trick it into working? Thanks again man – appreciate your time and effort as always
Unfortunately I don’t have official workarounds yet since this is a relatively new occurrence – you could try your idea, perhaps a simple paragraph set to height: 0 and position: absolute placed in the header.php at the bottom would do the trick
Het Nectar – I tried that and created some header.php kaos! Any chance you could flick me through the actual code (minus my para obviously) so I can insert it? My google results have now dropped off sub pages (usually the company site is listed – then popular sub pages underneath) Any idea why that might be?
Hey again!
1. Sure, at the bottom of the header.php file add this:
<p class="invisible">test text test text</p>
and then in the custom css box add
.invisible { position: absolute; height: 0px; }
2. I’m not sure about why they would have dropped honestly if they were already there, but here’s an article on getting them back https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/47334?hl=en
By the way since Google has opted for this new dynamic description based on search terms – in real world scenario where terms are search rather than a direct URL such as “lux hd the creative team”. The description comes in nicely
Cheers
Hey TN, Mate – unfortunately this header fix didn’t work. There were some nasty X next to the code in the CSS box, but I figured that would be ok. Basically… I didn’t hide itself… Just a line of site description code at the base of the header… Any clues? Love to get this sorted. Thanks man. C.
Scratch that… my mistake in the code. We’ll wait and see if Google picks up the new hidden description…. I’ll let you know if the fix works.
No worries & sounds good
Hey Nectar… Looks like you’re keeping busy my man!
Just wanted to update you on our little experiment with the insertion of that hidden description in the header… Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to have worked… Google is still grabbing the video code as above, which is a major bummer.
The only thing I can think is to remove the video altogether, which for us, is a major downer, as we chose Salient almost soley for its Video slider option goodness. Not being able to list properly on Google as a result is really hurting us.
If you could keep your thinking cap on in regards to this, I’d really appreciate it… Thanks Nectar.
Thanks for the update! Actually in 4.0 I removed the video plugin that WordPress uses for video playblack (mediaElement) in favor of a raw HTML5 video. I noticed in the millions of results that turn of for ” // 00:00. Initializing… stage: 320×240” a trend of the use of MediaElement w/ WordPress.
Update to the latest version, submit your URL to get reindexed and let me know
Cheers
Awesome – thanks man – I’ll do that now.
Sounds good
How can i go about making the full width portfolio 3 columns instead of 4? so the size of each project spans 4 columns instead of 3?
appreciate the help thank you
Hey swizenfeld!
The full width portfolio actually has dynamic columns – meaning that the larger the screen viewed on, the more columns the layout will use with a maximum of 5. If you wanted to change this to always remain four on desktop view, it would require some css / js edits.
Cheers
How do you change the color of a boxed column for only one specific page. Not globally.
Hey rswayenvato,
you can give the column a css class and then target it that way – just make sure you’re on the latest release of Salient as there was a bug where custom classes weren’t getting applied to columns prior.
Cheers
Theme nectar,
Thanks for the reply. However, I’m really new to this. Can you give me an example of how to create this class and how do I call it.
I’ve made a picture showing all the steps: http://i.imgur.com/JdJXh6X.png
Cheers
You guys are the best! Last question. Can this be done without the visual editor? Like with the text editor? Just curious.
Thanks rswayenvato!
The columns only have a class field inside of the page builder, so doing it in the regular editor would simply require going into the text tab and wrapping the group of columns in a div with the class to target them with.
Cheers
Okay I tried with the visual editor. I tried it exactly like what you wrote out. It still didn’t work. I updated to the most recent build also. 3. 1.5. My first screen, where you, give the column a css class looks different from the one you uploaded. Finally, I just wanted to make sure that it’s the box color that I want to change not the color of the entire column
Hey again – would you kindly open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can set up one of these for an example?

Hey micoolcho!
Did you rename the parent folder to something weird other than Salient by chance? If not, please allow me to log in so I can see what’s going on
Cheers!
quick question about Google Analytics. do i need to activate it is woo commerce and the theme or can I just use one or the other?
thanks
Hey krazy4sales!
You only need to enter it in the theme options panel – it’s going to get added onto all pages from that
Cheers
I can’t for the life of me figure this out. I have a page that I am creating with visual editor and the top has a Nectar Slider component. It’s not set to full-page or anything like that but it overlays every other element on my page. In other words, everything else is hidden behind the nectar slider no matter what I try to do with margins, size, etc.
I know my way around Salient fairly well. This is the first time running into this and I even have this same page setup on other pages on my site without this issue.
Tried different browsers and still same thing!
Hey ehong33234! Sorry weird must be at play – can you please open a private ticket here http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ in regards with your admin credentials so I can see what’s going on?
Cheers
Hello,
Is there a way to turn off comments on portfolio pages, globally not just on each individual portfolio? I’m getting killed with spam, even with captcha installed.
Hey cophoto!
Open the single-portfolio.php file and delete this section:
<div class="comments-section">
<?php comments_template(); ?>
</div>
Cheers
Hi there ThemeNectar!
Theme is almost 100% setup! I am pretty happy. However, I can’t get my portfolio to work… Images are not loading and horizontal filter doesn’t show up. Could you help me with that?
http://www.limaonagua.com.br/galeria/Regards
Hi there. I managed to get images to load, but still having issues with horizontal filter.
Hey brenolara! If you already have the horizontal filters option checked in the Salient options panel & have it set to display on the portfolio edit page: http://i.imgur.com/6u9hTQC.png
Please open a ticket in regards http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
I have just opened the ticket.
Thanks – what’s the ticket #?
I have two tickets opened: 172083 and 172795
Just oversaw both of them
Cheers
Hi, How would I get the product category pages to display products by newest first as the default?
Hey trocity – I believe this would require modifying the WooCommerce native query for categories which could be done in the functions.php file of the theme. As for the code you’d need – you should check on the WooCommerce forums since others have probably wondered this too
Also, I view the source and it doesn’t look like the ‘a href=’ for the image is being created
Hey kylesalonga,
please make sure you’re on the latest release of the theme as this was a known bug back a couple releases ago
Cheers
Pasting this Cord and setting Popular Images helped maintain the original size of the pictures. But I’d like to move the pictures that are fixed to the left to be fixed into the center. And I ‘d like you to show me where I can get those Background Images at Live Preview!
article.post img { max-width: 100%!important; width: auto!important; }
Hey backin79 ,
1.Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
article.post img {
margin: 0 auto!important;
}
2. All of the images used in the demo have their sources listed at the bottom of the main theme description page in the Credits section
Latest Salient version 3.1.5 says you added feature to allow shortcodes in Text Widget by default but when I click on the Nectar Shortcode button, choose my item (i.e. Icon) and click “add shortcode” nothing happens. The field is blank. I’m using it on CHROME.
Thanks.
Hey ehong33234,
The necessary code was simply added to allow parsing of shortcodes inside of a text widget. I’m confused by what you mean when you say nothing happens after clicking “add shortcode” as there’s no Nectar Shortcodes button on a text widget in WordPress – the only place the shortcode generator button exists is on editors in posts/pages.
Cheers
I would like to make each slider on my home page clickable, not just a button. I’ve looked for this setting and can’t find it anywhere. How do I make the entire slider image on the home page clickable?
Hey scottt79,
please use the Nectar Slider instead of the Home Slider as there’s an option to make the entire slide a link instead of using button(s). Here’s the tutorial on it in case you have not seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLU9Pxo_RD8
Cheers
Thanks, I figured that’s what I might have to do but didn’t want to if I didn’t have to. I like the slider arrow buttons being on the side of the page and being able to have them have the same highlight color as the rest of the website but if I have to use Nectar I will. Thanks so much!
You’re very welcome Scott
Cheers
Hi, i try to paste this embed code from video to slider and dont work. I paste in Embedded Code area.
<iframe src=”//player.vimeo.com/video/61780707” width=”500” height=”281” frameborder=”0” webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>
Hey zabalacomve, can I please see your URL showing this problem? There’s no known issue with embeds not showing in either of the two sliders.
Cheers
Hello and thank you for a great theme.
I have a page where I dont want the padding below the 3 portfolio images: http://burne.no/?page_id=10Thanks for any help
Richard
Hey Richard!
Just set the row to full width background or full width content and the padding will go away.
Cheers
Some Europeen countries don’t allow to place a product directly to the cart without showing the details first. For this some of us have to get rid of the add-to-cart showing up with mouse over on product overview. Can I ajust this in the options. Changes to the css (hide div .add_to_cart_button) would work, too.
Hey royaltask!
Removing this would indeed require css – add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.post-type-archive-product .add_to_cart_button {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
Nectar your Support is excellent! Your Theme rocks!
Thanks a lot royaltask! Glad I could help
This works: .woocommerce .product-wrap .add_to_cart_button, .woocommerce .product-wrap .product_type_variable, .woocommerce .product-wrap .product_type_grouped, .woocommerce .product-wrap a.button { display: none!important; }
Got it, this works better with less code: .woocommerce .product-wrap .add_to_cart_button {
display: none!important;
}
Thanks for posting the snippet
Cheers!
Hi there ThemeNectar! Great theme!
Is there a way to increase sidebar width to 300px? I wouldn’t mind if that comes at the expense of the main container width.
Regards
Hi there. I managed to get the desired result with:
.span_9 { width: 70.7273%; }
.span_3 { width: 27.2727%; }
Can that break the theme on smaller screens than desktops?
Regards
In fact, mobile screens break when using this code… Can you help me with that?
Hey brenolara! yes, just change the snippet to this:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
.span_9 { width: 70.7273%; }
.span_3 { width: 27.2727%; }
}
Cheers
Hi,Great Theme However in the demo, l misinterpreted the Gallery Only in the portfolio section and thought I could have gallery (grid/masonry) apart from or inside portfolio. Is it possible with this theme to have a gallery inside a portfolio? instead of just stacked pictures with sidebar?
Hey 52med, the gallery element in the page builder is going to get a new style that will look similar to this which will be usable in the portfolio single page. This is a feature that will be added in the next feature based release in a few weeks.
Cheers
