Hi,
I’m using default style for my portfolio page. Watch Larger button works with photos but Watch Video button doesn’t – the screen is blank and it doesn’t link to the selected vimeo clip. It used to work fine before the last update (I’m on version 3.1)
Cheers
Hey b1b, the latest version is 3.1.5 and that actually fixed a bug with lightbox video popup that existed in 3.1 
Hi there ThemeNectar,
My search does not work sometimes and for some random words… When I run a search, either trough the header or sidebar widget, it crashes for terms like “decoracao” or “decoração” and other ones…
Could you help me with that?
Hey brenolara,
can I get your URL to check this out?
Cheers 
Hey again!
Have you also tried to deactivate Salient to see if this is a theme specific problem? It seems that it’s only getting caught up on that term meaning something in the results page is causing the server hang.
Hi there – a few pre sales questions:
Header layout: I need one with the main logo on the left, a top bar with social icons and secondary menu (above the logo) – the main menu in a bar below the main logo an another graphic roughly the same size as the logo – but on the far right side. So main logo on the left side and second logo on the right (secondary navigation and social icons on top and main navigation below the Logos)
Is this possible? – plus how will this work with responsive views? will the second logo be shown below the main one?
Also do you have the options of adding higher resolution logos for retina devices etc?
Lastly, your boxed version: can it be widened? and how does this affect responsiveness?
Thanks very much
Hey anton123,
1/2. This would require some custom development as you only have the option you have by default in the secondary nav (which can contain social icons/ links) but the other items you’re looking for would need modding/css.
3. Yes, this is an option by default 
4. It can with some minor css I could provide and the responsive view will work fine.
Cheers!
hi.. Any other ways to make an image be shown on the main page of my Weblog,not using Popular Images? Please show me ,if any,all the ways that I can run it!
http://bibblogging.com/?p=163Hey backin79,
1. If you’re using the auto excerpt option there’s no other way – but if you disable that you can simply place images into the editor and they will appear and you can then use the more tag to place a read more button after.
2. If you need an ad in the header you’ll have to add it into the header.php file 
Cheers
My friend
I hope you are well. Thank you for your supprt and professionalism.
We like the theme very much, and have a few minor questions.
Right now are are working on adding the newsletter form to the footer, and I have noticed that the “contact page” in polish has been changed. It showes up with problems.
Can you help me bring it back to normality? when I look at it from the dasboard, all the text and forms are there, they are just displayed incorrectly. http://www.mmevelo.com/kontaktthe english version shows up correctly
Thank you M.
thank you M.
Hey New_Castle,
1. Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
p {
line-height: 24px!important;
}
2. I actually am unable to see the extra space – what browser are you checking on?
Cheers 
Hey 
2.I have installed a complete backup and brought the site back to normality. because the update changed the language switcher we have built for the upper nav bar.
I will remember about the information about a child theme you gave me and talk to a person who wrote the code for the language switcher to follow your advice.
Thanks a lot M.
You’re welcome!
1. Change that to:
p, body {
line-height: 24px!important;
}
2. Sounds good 
Cheers!
My friend
The problem with the fonts on the contact page still remains, I changed the code, but one of the columns is still problematic have a look:
http://www.mmevelo.com/kontakt this is how it should look like: (this is an english version of this page, that was saved before the problem arrived) http://www.mmevelo.com/en/contact/btw. would you know how to create black and white map instead of in colour? I found several google maps, in colors, but adding them to a site is a big trouble. Are you aware of a tutorial that teaches how to add such custom google map in grey colours?
Thank you for your help
Best wishes
M.
1. Okay this one should do it! 
p, body, .col {
line-height: 24px!important;
}
2. Here’s the documentation on it https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/styling you would have to implement that into the map.js file inside of the js folder. 
Cheers!
Hey Friend
1. yey, it works 
2. will try it. will do my best to make it work.
Thanks, best wishes! M.
You’re welcome! 
Hello Nectar,
I would like to add a tab at top of my page that will jump down to the “landscape maintenance packages”, how do I go about this? I saw in a previous post of yours, you recommended a plug in. That plug in doesn’t work anymore… Could you help me?
THanks!!

Hey l3en007,
there’s no known issues with the recommended plugin – if you can open a private ticket in the forums with your credentials I’ll gladly look into it for you

Dear Author and other users,
We’re trying to Activate your theme, but we get error like this:
Fatal error: Call to a member function init() on a non-object in /wp-content/themes/salient/functions.php on line 328
.
Please help.
Best regards, Bartosz & Michal
We have server running on PHP Version 5.2.17.
Hey bentorex!
try opening your js_composer.php file located in wpbakery / js_composer and changing this line:
if (!defined('VC_THEME_DIR')) define('VC_THEME_DIR', get_theme_root());
to this:
if (!defined('VC_THEME_DIR')) define('VC_THEME_DIR', mb_strcut(get_theme_root(), 1));

The best way to target a specific menu list item is to go in the wordpress admin.
browse to “Appearance” and from there go to “Menu’s”
At the top of the page you can open of a drop down menu with extra options for menu items.
In this section check the checkbox for “CSS Classes”
This allows you to give a extra custom class to a specific menu list item.
From there use CSS to target that class and style as you want it
Thanks for much for helping out Elektra_bs, RedactiePartners 
No problem! Some questions are solved by using general wordpress tools! Your support is awesome either way!
You deserve a cookie 
Hello,
I want to change the color of one of my menu item but I can’t get the code to work
Menu-item-368. Can you give me the code?
Hey Elektra_bs! Please see RedactiePartners response to you as it’s completely accurate 
Cheers 
Thanks for the answer but that doesn’t solve my problem. Because the creator of salient has the custom fonts color with !important; so when I try to find in which line and css file is, it’s just says that the line is inside index which makes no sense, The site is http://astrium[.]gr if anyone can give an advice as to how can I find the class.
Again thanks for the time
Hey again – I am the creator of Salient
and you can still use !important to override the rule you need to. Checking your URL, it doesn’t appear you’ve added a class to any of your menu items yet but here’s a snippet that will target one item by the ID.
Enter this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
header#top nav ul li#menu-item-368 a {
color: #FFFFFF !important;
}
Cheers 
Thanks a lot! You are awesome!
You’re very welcome! 
Hi Nectar,
I had to change from using the portfolio template for my main portfolio page to using the short code so I could define a starting category other than “All”. This is not an option in the portfolio template (currently).
Our portfolio page: http://hingedigital.com/work1. Is it possible to set the starting category on the portfolio template like you can in the shortcode or VC? Could you post the code required to make that change to the portfolio template? My goal is to start by showing a subset of the whole portfolio as the first thing the viewer sees.
2. I noticed after switching from using the portfolio page template to using a short code or VC (even on the same page) that the single portfolio pages no longer associate my portfolio page as it’s default. This worked previously when using the portfolio template. In order to fix this, I would have to go through all 95+ portfolio items to change the “Parent Portfolio Override” to point to the portfolio page. Any way to keep my main portfolio page considered the default, even if it isn’t using the portfolio template?
3. How can we reorder the project categories to put the one you want the viewer to use the most at the top of the sorting menu, instead of alphabetically, as is the default behavior? I’d love to use the “Intuitive Custom Post Order” plugin to reorder the categories in the Project categories menu.
4. Is there a way to delay loading the portfolio images not currently shown? I have over 95 portfolio items in “All” so it makes for a slow initial load of the page. I’d like to show a sub-category (Featured) on initial load and then let the user choose if they want to load another category. This is a BIG issue for usability on the site.
Love Salient. Thanks!
Hey!
1. This isn’t possible, but i’m wondering why you’d want to use the layout over the element as it offers less features.
2. Just add your portfolio page URL into the relevant options in the Salient Options Panel > Portfolio Options tab. 
3. To change that open up your functions.php file and locate the “nectar_page_header” function. Just run a search for it and you’ll find it
inside that section locate the call to the list categories function:
<?php wp_list_categories(array('title_li' => '', 'taxonomy' => 'project-type', 'show_option_none' => '', 'walker' => new Walker_Portfolio_Filter())); ?>
Change that to this:
<?php wp_list_categories(array('orderby' => 'ID', 'title_li' => '', 'taxonomy' => 'project-type', 'show_option_none' => '', 'walker' => new Walker_Portfolio_Filter())); ?>
I’ve added in that array an option for “orderby” and set it to ID. WordPress has the following options it will accept for that so feel free to play around with them:
- ID
- name
- slug
- count
- term_group
4. This would require custom development actually – have you considered using pagination?
Cheers 
Hi Nectar,
1. Ok. That’s fine thanks to your answer for #2. I appreciate the added functionality and flexibility of the element over the template.
2. Thanks. Sorry I missed that. Works great!
3. Sweet. I will give that a try. If I use a reorder plugin, is ID the right setting?
4. I would love to use pagination, but since portfolio sorting currently only operates based on what is on each “page”, it renders the sorting functionality pretty much useless, in my opinion. If the sorting operated on all pages dynamically, then pagination would be an option. Current implementation make the viewer think there are far fewer items of a certain type than there are actually (from 95+ items, you are only seeing those from a certain page, arbitrarily separated by # items per page).
To speed up initial load of the portfolio (95+ items), would using progressive JPGs help? Is there any way to lazy load the portfolio as the user scrolls down the page (I have used BJ Lazy Load before, but it seems to break the Salient portfolio)?
NEW questions:
5. How can I make the portfolio sorting button narrower? It’s quite wide. I tried this, but it also affected the position of the navigation in the portfolio-single.php
portfolio-filters #sort-portfolio {
min-width:130px!important; padding-right:20px!important; } #portfolio-filters, #portfolio-nav { width:150px!important; }
See here: http://hingedigital.com/work/ and http://hingedigital.com/projects/adidas-all-star-weekend/6. Deselecting “All” from the portfolio element inclusion list doesn’t seem to get rid of “All” from the portfolio sorting menu.
Thanks!
One more thing – for the code change to “nectar_page_header” function, can I put the entire changed function in my child theme to override the one in the salient parent theme? Trying to make upgrades as easy as possible. Thanks!
3 Yes that would be the right way to go 
4. LazyLoad would indeed require some integration but I think you’re best best would simply be to remove the logic that stops images from showing until done loading all on the page so you could have them just load in and have the user see it.
5. Try this:
#portfolio-filters {
width: 130px !important;
}
6. Yes, this option is always in there – to remove it just use
#portfolio-filters > ul > li:first-child {
display: none!important;
}
7. Unfortunately not, you’d need to remove the function from the parent theme in order to have it overwrite.
Hi Nectar,
4a. Pagination has a strange behavior. I have a category called “Featured” including 30 of my 95 items. When I turn on pagination to 30 items, and make the default category “Featured”, the items are separated into 3 pages. Page 1 has 17 items. Page 2 has 6 items. Page 3 has 7 items. Very odd and seemingly arbitrary. Is this due to the reorder plugin?
The behavior I expected was 1 page with 30 items for “Featured”. If the user switches to “All” I would expect 4 pages – the first 3 with 30 items, the last one with 5. What am I missing?
4b. How would you specifically remove the logic that stops images from loading until done loading all on the page? Can you point me to that code?
5. This code makes the menu smaller, but has an unfortunate side effect — the menu now is no longer right aligned to the portfolio grid. The down arrow section hangs over the edge. Any other suggestions?
6. This just hides the “All” item, correct? “All” the items would still be loaded into the page anyways, yes?
7. Here’s another way to do it to work with child theme functionality, but it still means wrapping your original functions in an if statement, from: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
if ( ! function_exists( 'theme_special_nav' ) ) {
function theme_special_nav() {
// Do something.
}
}
Thanks!
Update:
5. Here’s the code that worked to make is smaller without affecting the alignment:
#portfolio-filters {
width: 160px !important;
}
Hey again,
4a. This is because the filtering actually works differently than you might expect. If you for example choose 15 items to display per page, the first 15 will all be loaded and the filters will simply allow you to sort between those items. No additional items from other pages can be grabbed. Therefore the filters available will be different on your pages depending on what’s available to sort in each set of 15 items.
4b. This inside of the init.js file
//// start up isotope with default settings
$portfolio_container.imagesLoaded(function(){
and below you’ll have to remove the closing part to that function as well:
});
5. Glad you sorted this 
6. Yes, that’s correct – the only way to remove it from loading would be to edit the file that creates the markup.
7. Yes, thanks for reference 
Cheers
Hi Nectar,
Back to number 5 (the portfolio menu). I noticed that when our portfolio page loads on the iPad (using mobile safari), with the “Featured” menu item as the starting category, the menu is already in it’s dropped down state. If I change the menu option back to “Default” it loads in not dropped down.
Is there a way to fix this bug?
Thanks! Roland
4b. I tried commenting that code out of the init.js file.
The result was not good at all. 
While the page did load quickly, many of the images (towards the bottom of the page) were stacked on top of each other and only showed small horizontal slivers of the whole image.
Could you add functionality to load a small 1 px placeholder scaled to the correct size that loads quickly and swap it for the real image once loaded — aka Lazy Load?
Thanks, Roland
Hey Roland,
1. I’ve been able to replicate this on my phone as well and have noted to fix it for the upcoming release
A quick option that would resolve this would be using the horizontal filter display as opposed to the dropdown.
2. Yes, I realize now that it would indeed break the isotope calculations since some columns would be calculated with 0 height. Your solution of the place holder image would work but development would be needed – I’ll add this on the wishlist.
Cheers 
The best support ever, is this just one man?
Just a quick one, is there anyway that the Slider header text can have a background or is it just on the buttons?
Also, as a development feature for future release it would be awesome if when bringing up the colour box within the different short code options that the accent colours you define in the Salient settings were the default options. I know it’s a small thing but just makes it a bit easier
Thanks again
Thanks martyfin!
1. There’s two people working the forum at the moment 
.swiper-slide .content h2 {
padding: 4px 0px;
display: inline;
position: relative;
left: 10px;
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
-moz-box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
-webkit-box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
-o-box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
line-height: 45px;
}
3. Thanks for the suggestion!
Cheers 
Awesome, worked a treat,
I was going to say it’s too many just for one person, but good on both of you.
Question that has come about after this, I have set the header background to the same colour a full width box below the header but there seems to be a very thin line just below the menu all the way across, can I remove this in any way
And, sorry to be a pain, is there anyway of defining a set width for the header?
Cheers and thanks a million
Hey again!
Can you share your URL so I can see this to help sort it? Also, I was actually the only person working support for the entire life of the theme until last week too 
Cheers
How many questions did you answer? 2000 +?
1. Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
#header-outer {
box-shadow: none!important;
-webkit-box-shadow: none!important;
}
2. 6000+ 
Hi again, thanks for the snippet, saved some space! But still I would like to reduce the space between the Title in widgets and the actual content content, and also the space between the categories names.
Thanks for such quick support 
Also! Can I have a snippet to set all pages in the site to White Backgrounf? without to place it on the css custom box on each page? Thanks!
Hey again!
1. Can you please share your URL again for this one 
2. Paste this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
body, body .container-wrap, body .home-wrap, body #page-header-wrap {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
Hi imagebuddies.com it is
thanks for the help
Hey! Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
#sidebar h4 {
margin-bottom: 0px!important;
}
#sidebar .widget.widget_categories li a, #sidebar .widget.widget_pages li a, #sidebar .widget.widget_nav_menu li a {
padding: 3px 0!important;
}
Cheers 
Great thanks!
You’re welcome 
Hello. Is there a way to retain the smooth scroll feature, but disable the scroll bar styling? Also, is the next update any closer to release or are we still a ways out? Thanks again.
Hey joe88,
this wouldn’t be possible without custom development currently.
As for the next update – it gets closer everyday since a day hasn’t passed where I haven’t worked on it 
Cheers
Hi, it looks like a bunch of my images are huge files that are slowing down my site. What is a good pixel width size that I should save my images at so that the website runs a lot faster? Thank you!
It depends on where you’re using the images – images that will be constrained within the main content area don’t need to be over 1100px in width and full width images in sliders and full width bg sections should be around 1900px for the width 
Perfect, thank you!
You’re very welcome 
Hi Theme Nectar
I see that I need to update the skin the way you told me to, to remove the previous file from the server and upload the new version.
We have changed some files, like removed some portions of code and added another, related to the “About” page, and some more, will the removing the files from the server affect the changes or not at all?
Thank you
M.
Hey New_Castle!
If you’ve modified the core files directly than updating would require you to make those same mods to the new files – going forward you should always keep your edits in a child theme to avoid this 
Cheers
Is there any easy way to align a button shortcode to the right side of a page? I’d like to allow content to wrap around it.
Hey ctingom! You should be able to simply highlight the button shortcode and use the editor text align right option to move it over. http://en.support.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/rightalign2.png?w=688&h=368
When I do that, it aligns the entire paragraph to the right as well. And I haven’t been able to figure out a way to align it right without also adjusting the content alignment.
Switch into the text tab on your editor and do this:
<span style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;">[button color="Accent-Color" size="small" url="" text="Test Button"]</span> Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text Test text

Hi, is it possible to make these changes shown here… http://i.imgur.com/fq41B2f.jpg
Site is live here… http://harshacognitive.com/urbanworks/?page_id=731
Hey,
1. You can disable the filter bar by disabling the option for enable sortable in the portfolio element.
2. You can remove the arrows this css snippet (paste it into your custom css box)
body .sf-sub-indicator {
display: none!important;
}
body .sf-menu .sf-with-ul a {
padding-right: 10px!Important;
}
Cheers
1. I’m not sure if I’m seeing the “enable sortable” in the portfolio element. Under the Salient tabe, should I be looking at the “Portfolio Option” tab and where it says “Display Filters Horizontally?” If so, I’ve got this switched off and the horizontal category filter bar is still showing.
2. Thank you! This code worked.
Here’s the enable sortable option as seen in the element
