Hi, for having a video full eye-candy page, is it possible for the video to work on iphones or androids? Thank you.
Thanks for the link!
You’re welcome 
Is there an easy way to achieve a down arrow on a cover image/nectar slider element, eg like: https://sandrotto.exposure.so/swiss-alps I want to make my cover image on the iphone span the height of the screen then the user clicks on the arrow which then goes scrolls down the page to the next content area ?? Happy to edit code
Hey Rich,
You can actually get away with just adding an image directly into the caption field and then just wrapping that in an anchor to lead below your content like:
<a href="#below-content"> <img src="your-image.png" /></a>
Cheers
ok, so I need to position this at the bottom of the page as well please? also doesn’t seem to do anything on click, assume I need to make an anchor somewhere on the set ion below to achieve this? how and where do I add that please
Yes, the anchor would need to be placed under the slider – just switch into the text tab on your editor and insert this under it:
<div id="below-content" />
As for positioning the arrow image, it would just be a matter of giving it a class and using css to move it.
Have a look at: http://richpearson.co.uk/photos/ I have added the anchor all works fine, but I also want to do the following, a smith scroll down to the next section, and make the down arrow out of css, I have added the css to custom and inserted the line into the slider caption but it’s not working – any ideas please?
<span class="story-cover-arrow" />
And the css is:
.story-cover-arrow{
content:'';
display:block;
width:16px;
height:16px;
position:absolute;
bottom:-100px;
left:50%;
margin-left:-8px;
border:2px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.35);
background:rgba(0,0,0,0);
border-left:0;
border-top:0;
outline:0;
-webkit-transform:rotate(45deg);
-moz-transform:rotate(45deg);
-ms-transform:rotate(45deg);
-o-transform:rotate(45deg);
transform:rotate(45deg);
cursor:pointer;
z-index: 999;
}
.story-cover-arrow:hover{
border-color:rgba(255,255,255,0.65)
}
Hey,
1. You can use this plugin to get the animated scrolling effect: http://wordpress.org/plugins/page-scroll-to-id/
2. The first issue I see is that your structure looks like this:
<span class="story-cover-arrow" /> <a href="#below-content"> <img src="your-image.png" /></a>
When it should be:
<a href="#below-content"> <span class="story-cover-arrow" /> </a>
secondly, I can’t see your class getting applied – are you sure it’s entered in correctly in the css box?
Ok got it working by moving the css up the custom box slightly, worries me slightly that there is a conflict in the css if this happens?
You might of just had the rule in a media query or something, but if you wanna note this in your ticket i’ll log back in and ensure there’s no css errors
Hello,
Please help me, it seems like parallex is bugged somehow:
http://magusdesign.dk/As you can see when you scroll the page slowly, initially the parallex sections (apart from the first nectar slider) doesn’t work properly.
It shows a solid green background on the first one (untill scrolling a long way down onto the section) and a solid white for the 2nd parallex section. What’s causing this?
May I just add that when I switch from “Default template” to “Home – Slider only” template I have no issue with the parallax effect, but on the other hand I can’t get a nectar slider on the page. Very frustrating. Will do anything to get some help!
Regards
Hey Zumzar,
I appreciate you rewriting your question without the f-bombs
The Nectar Slider uses a different technique for accomplishing the parallax effect (css3 transforms) than others. This technique was opted for because of the increased strain of parallaxing video BG’s like the Nectar Slider offers – while this yields much better performance in all browsers (since it’s hardware accelerated), the only limitation is that you can’t place it directly next to other parallax sections. Chrome has a browser level bug with this that causes what you’ve described. (This won’t occur in Firefox/IE though). Because of this, please keep distance between your parallax Nectar Slider and other parallax sections. You can have as many standard parallax sections as you need per page (all touching too) but not near a parallaxed Nectar Slider. If you are okay with the older parallax technique for a slider which will yield lower performance, you can use the Home Slider instead of the Nectar Slider as well.
Also you mentioned in your other comment that you can’t have two parallaxed Nectar Sliders in a row – this is correct. There’s never been the option to place more than one per page and as noted in the description for the Parallax option checkbox it states that the slider must be the top level element on the page for this effect.
Cheers
Hello,
I did a layout with VC, full width content and 2 columns. I have an image on the left and text on the right. How would one lock the image so that it stays fixed, but the right side scrolls. I tried positioning tags, but had no luck. Similar to this: http://blog.squarespace.com/
Hey joeltgraves,
You would have to set the left div to use:
position: fixed;
You can set a class on that column only to call the rule in so it will only effect the divs you add the rule to
.fixxy {
position: fixed;
width: 50%;
}
[vc_column width="1/2"]
<div class="fixxy">[image]</div>
[/vc_column]
This was inside a full-width content column. It works a little. When resizing the window to a smaller width, the image gets very small while the right column stays quite larger while the column width shrinking. Also, this doesn’t work for mobile.
That’s the basic principle of effect, but of course it would require more css to get it to work in all viewports. If you want to share your URL I can continue to point you in the right direction, but unfortunately I can’t code the entire thing.
Cheers
Hi I’m looking to translate and format this theme for my development purposes to an RTL layout. I’m interested to know if it is required to format the JS files as well as the template files, css styling files, string translate.
Regards Yaki
Hey Yaki,
As far as I’m aware the only thing you need to do to successfully implement RTL is overwrite the necessary css rules to align to the right – no js or template files need to altered. Here’s a good resource on doing the mod: https://codex.wordpress.org/Right-to-Left_Language_Support
Cheers
@Zumzar No F… words here please we are adults! Nector is offering excellent Support, your words are way far from being kind or thankful. Have a stop here.
Thanks for the support royaltask, I really appreciate it
Where can I edit or translate the text displayed on the sale badge within Woocommerce? Could not find the file.
Hey again!
That wording should be in their .po file which you could use a plugin like http://wordpress.org/plugins/codestyling-localization/ to translate without touching the plugin files directly.
Cheers
Thanks, it is not included in the .po file. I even searched the string in the whole structure. Is it part of the mysql database?
This thread will most likely be of use to you (a person asking the same question) http://wpml.org/forums/topic/importing-string-translation-is-not-working/
Hello Nectar, I would like to have the small slider arrows shown in the mobile version of the home slider. Where can I start? div.slider-nav on init.js ?
Hey royaltask!
Are you’re trying to add those buttons into the Nectar Slider on mobile? If so I’ll supply some css to get you on the way to that look
I want to use them in the home slider. the big ones one left and right are too big for my site. The mobile version of home slider shows neat small ones. I would like to have them on big screens as well.
Hey again,
This would take a fair deal of css modding an some js modding – if you can open a private ticket in regards with your admin credentials I’ll assist as much as I can http://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Hi,
When I use the full width nectar slider on a portfolio item, it is shifted upwards, over the title and the arrow buttons. How to solve that?
Hey jelmer85,
I would need to see a URL where this occurs to assist with this since that’s not a known bug.
Cheers
Perhaps I used the wrong approach to achieve a full-width image effect? I also never found a way to make it do the ‘parallax’..
No you went about it right, except this is actually just a gallery element set to the Nectar Slider style instead of an actual Nectar Slider instance (which is why I was a little confused before). The bug you’re seeing was fixed in v3.1.5 – please download the latest version and you should see this resolved
I have just spent 3+ hours testing this, and I seem to have found a VERY annoying bug. When I add a Nectar Slider on the same page as a parallex image section, the parallex section is bugged as fuck. When I remove the nectar slider, it works perfectly and/or when I remove the parallex effect from the image, it then works again.
Any fix on this? When I scroll past the image with parallex added, it randomy removed the image and shows a white background.
Ps. I am using Chrome.
Ok, another issue:
Tried to add TWO nectar slides with parallex to the same page = buggy as fuck.
Removed parallex from the 2nd slider = no issue.
There seems to be a lot of issues with parallex. 
Hey Zumzar, I’ve answered your other comment regarding this
Hi themenectar, please look at the site….
http://jonathansymmonds.com/I remember you mentioning that the script loads after the page loads that is why the main video doesn’t sit properly in the header for the nectar slider. You mentioned you would try to resolve this issue, is there anything i can do to try fix this while i wait? Seeing as it is the most important part of my site you can understand the frustration and determination to get it fixed soon. Also when i scroll down the page and then scroll up the video dissapears completely.
Thanks
Hey Nojule,
1. You can try adding something like this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1300px) {
.swiper-slide iframe {
min-height: 600px!important;
}
}
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) and (max-width: 1300px) {
.swiper-slide iframe {
min-height: 500px!important;
}
}
2. Are you sure you’re not resizing your browser window when the video is out of sight? That’s the only way I can replicate this behavior and if that’s the case – please open a ticket on the forum in regards with your admin credentials so I can apply the quick fix so you don’t have to wait until the next release
Cheers
Hi Themenectar,
fantastic Template, everything works fine, but there is a little question about the Nectarslider. I have more slides and want to change the duration of just one special slide. For example: in my second slide i embed an video and the slide here is definitely to short. How can i change this, individualy for each slide? Thanx for help!
Hey yasamiro
Unfortunately there’s no way to set the rotation timing specific to certain slides yet – it’s either an autorotate for all at the same speed or no autorotate. I’ll note this item for the wishlist though
Cheers
How would I go about changing the 404 page, I want to remove the header/footer and just have a custom background image (responsive cover) with a message box in the middle e.g. just like this: https://vsco.co/404
Hey richpearsonwd,
the 404 template is located in the root of the theme folder called 404.php – you’re to edit it as much as you need
If I want to move my website to better faster hosting, when I export either the XML or SQL and then re-import it will it remember all my VC elements and settings?
Rich
Hey richpearsonwd, if you want to bring everything over including the theme option settings just go with the SQL export. The XML will give you all of the content (including all pages built with VC) but it lacks theme options.
Cheers
Hi Theme Nectar,
Hope you are well. Just a quick query, I put my Google+ authorship code into my header.php child theme, but when I check it on a mobile device it seems to be visible just above the header image or video header. Can you help please? You may find details for my site on my last closed ticket: #173455
Thank you kindly
Hey 312Media!
I’ve just logged back in and added the necessary css to fix that for you
Cheers
You are the Best thank you
You’re very welcome!
Hello I forgot my WP login info and when I click on LOST PASSWORD it goes to a 404 page? am I missing a PHP file somewhere?
Hey Milo!
It shouldn’t 404 be default: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/my-account/lost-password/
However, it’s possible if you already have a page occupying the my account slug that a conflict could be caused. Is that the case on your setup?
Cheers
How do I find this out? All I did was delete pages that I was not using… is there a way to add or import this page?
Hey again,
It’s not an actual page like you’re thinking – it’s a native page built into the WordPress core which you can’t delete. Can you please disable Salient for a second to make sure the problem only occurs when using the theme and not others? If it occurs in others as well, the issue is being caused either by a plugin or WP misconfiguration
Are you sure it’s not a page that I need? Because the issue is WooCommerce plugin… in the Accounts Tab, first drop down there is for you to choose a reference page for WooCommerce… but as I mentioned right now I am using the theme as a One Page so all I have is a Home Page set up… should I just add the Shop page back? or deactivate the WooCommerce plugin (but will this change how it looks or operates like in your theme?)
I imported the dummy data again… but I’m missing the SHOP pages??
Hey again Milo, the dummy data for the shop is actually contained within the WooCommerce plugin itself http://docs.woothemes.com/document/importing-woocommerce-dummy-data/ check that out in regards to importing all the WooCommerce pages you need.
Also I believe the key here is just to make sure your my account page is set to a page called something other than “My account” such as “Account” so that the page slugs don’t interfere.
Dear friend, excuse me if I repeat a question. I can not activate the Lightbox to woocommerce. I’ve tried everything, and does not work … what can it be? where I fail? Please help me, it stresses kkk. My site: http://elessartoy.com.br/
My WP 3.8.1, Woo 2.1.5
I updated the theme and is perfect. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hey Rvdricvs!
Glad to hear you’ve sorted it by updating This was indeed a known compatibility issue with WooCommerce 2.1+ and Salient prior to the latest release.
Cheers
Just bought the theme – LOVE it.
Quick question – is it possible to adjust the colors on the “Quote” style posts in the blog? It defaults to the blue/teal, and black on hover.
Thanks!
That’s awesome to hear jaj123175!
You can alter the default color with your accent color options in the Salient options panel – but if you need to change the two states to something different, add this into the custom css box in your Salient Options Panel:
body article.post.quote .post-content .quote-inner {
background-color: #000!important;
}
body article.post.quote .post-content .quote-inner:hover {
background-color: #444!important;
}
Cheers
Hi there, I’m using your great theme a couple of months now. The installation and configuration of the Theme itself took place using Firefox. Now that the site is alomst ready to show off I did some tests using different browsers. I noticed that your theme has a few problems with displaying the portfolio items correctly when using IE10!! I mean this is a major bug, because the images disappear randomly or the don’t get loaded properly. I tested this on 3 different machines using window 8 and 7. On Safari and Firefox I couldn’t reproduce this error. Since IE10 is used by a lot of people I think fixing this error is a must, otherwise I see really a problem using this theme further because you never know if the user gets to see what he is supposed to see or just blank images placeholders. I have attached a few screenshots so you can see what I mean. I could reproduce this error on your online DEMO site as well. I first tought it was my installation but it isn’t! See attached screenshots. I think this problem came with version 3.0 but I’m not sure because as said I was using Firefox to setup and configure the site so I really got to notice it only recently.
Another problem that comes with IE10 as well is that when changing from one page to another for one or two seconds the font type gets changed. This is not a big problem but still disturbing for the user I think.
A quick reply would be greatly appreciated! Other than that, keep up the excellent work, great theme!!See screenshots (PDF): http://tinyurl.com/mnfgvnq
Hey artdesigner!
I am unable to reproduce this on any IE version 8-11 on my windows 7 and also have been unsuccessful in replicating via browserstack on windows 7 & 8 using IE10. Since there’s been no other reports of this either, I would suggest you first check out these articles for some steps to try and clear it on your end
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar, thanks for your reply. I’m not quite sure if you’re saying that basically because I’m the only (or the first one) reporting this error, the problem does not exist with your theme? I tested this from 3 different computers with and w/o antiviruses installed (web addons enabled and disabled) and from different places (different internet connections). I really don’t know what is the cause. I frist tought it could be my hosting provider. But since it’s happening also on your DEMO Site, well it’s isn’t my provider either. The first link you posted does not give really a solution. (I already did clean the browser history, temp files etc. using tools like ccleaner). Your second link is referring to images with CMYK profile instead of RGB ones and this is not my case.
Well, I guess I will have to fix this myself? Thanks anyway!
Hey again!
I was not insinuating that you’re not experiencing a valid issue, it’s just hard for me to pinpoint the cause since I can’t replicate it over here on any of the setups I’ve tried & the lack of other users seeing it as well only makes things harder. I still would love to get to the bottom of this – can you try clearing your cache once more and checking out the live demo again? I’ve made a minor change in the order scripts are loaded and want to know if that effected what you’re seeing
Cheers
Hello,
I bought your theme last week. It’s great!
Is there an email I can you reach on for a bit of support please? It may take you 10 or so minutes to answer? I’ll attach a couple of screenshots?
It is to do with background colors. There are a couple of places where mine have messed up. Tried to research the problem a bit but still having trouble.
Thanks Mat!
