Hey, great updates, impressive design!!!
I wondered if it might be possible to integrate the option to use one of those nice transparent “Play” Buttons for videos in the Nectar Slider so the video would just start to play after the user hits this button and not instantly after th page is loaded… might be a great solution for the use of videos with sound and especially if users a visiting a second time and are not willing to watch the video again every time?
Please let me know, I would highly appreciate to make use of this ;)))
Best regards, Nadia
Thanks Nadia!
The video background option was designed to be used as a design element so the videos used are expected to be fairly subtle and mute. However, if you were to use an informational video you have the option to add the link (youtube or vimeo) into the slider button and that will cause a lightbox to popup with the video that contains full controls. Perhaps for the time being you could play with the idea of having a button like that to trigger the actual video and keep a mute video background or even an image background on the slide.

Hello ThemeNectar,
1. how can I add little space (5px) between two thumbnails in the portfolio view full width masonry? http://madebymaud.com/portfolio-fullwidth-masonry/ 2. Is it possible to reduce the size of all thumbnails in the portfolio view? 70% for example? 3. How can I remove project name, like it was done here: http://richpearson.co.uk/portfolio/europe/ My site is http://madebymaud.com/
Thank you very much in advance!
Hey madebymaud!
1. The only way to do this without a good deal of css modding would be to set padding on the items like:
body .portfolio-items .col.elastic-portfolio-item {
padding: 5px 5px 0px 0px!important;
}
2. This would take modding the widths throughout the style.css and responsive.css stylesheets. Unfortunately this is just as involved as the alternative to the mod above.
3. It seems you’ve already hidden the name on the single project page – are you looking to also hide it on the masonry view? If so I’ll supply the css
Cheers!
Also…
We’ve just imported the blog content with no issue apart from that they are all showing as full posts rather than summaries.
I know about adding the ‘read more’ sections but is there any way of adding this as a default option so it takes action on all previous posts? The client has a lot of previous content and adding ‘read more’ sections to all of these will be time consuming!
Thanks!
Hey MidasCreative_,
Yes – there’s an option for auto exerpt in the Blog Options tab of the Salient Options panel you can enable and configure your desired length to show
Cheers!
Ah ok, I can’t find that. Is it because of our version? We’re operating 2.1.5.
Thanks!
Yes, this was added in after that (The current version is 3.1.5) You can download that version in your ThemeForest downloads tab
Hi Guys,
Thanks in advance for your quick reply – I know how good you can be from past experience so may as well say it now!
A couple of things I’m needing help with today re http://giggle.hdtesting.co.uk/:
1. I would like to add a toggle box that shows different content below the ‘service’ boxes when each one is clicked. For example, when clicking ‘Digital’ a toggle opens up below that then shows content regarding Digital, and so on. I presume this will take custom Javascript coding (which I am not clued up with) so wonder if you can guide me?
2. If I want to transfer blog posts from a clients old website to this new one, do I just get them to download their content as an XML file and upload to this one? It won’t overwrite anything?
3. Same question as above but with portfolio posts? I presume that this will take a little more rejigging as different themes organised portfolios different way.
Thanks again guys!!!
Ash
Hey Ash!
1. So you want to be able to click each orange box and have that trigger a toggle below the box? Or will the toggle open inside of the orange box still? Being honest, this is a bit outside the scope of regular support since it’s custom JavaScript development, but i’ll do my best to assist!
2/3. Yes, exporting and importing the .xml is all you need to do. However as you already know, the portfolio items might not line up nicely depending on how your previous theme structured the portfolio post type.
Cheers
Hallo Themenectar,
i think found a little bug. I use for the mobiles the “no responsive” setting. On my page im using the “recent projects” in full width with “meta on hover+entire thumb link”. On my mac everything is fine, but on the mobiles you se just 50% vertical cutted view of the “recent projects”. How can i solve this. Is it possible to use a code in “Extra Class Name”-section like a fix hight?
Cheers!!!
Hey yasamiro!
If you can supply me a URL to the page in question I will assist with the css
Cheers!
Hi, my testpage on http://www.test.3dhandwerk.de , thanx
Hey again!
Just open the non-responsive.css stylesheet located in the css folder and remove this rule:
.carousel-wrap.recent-work-carousel {
height: 252px !important;
}
Cheers
thanks a lot !!!????
You’re welcome!
I notice that all my custom css is taking quite a bit of space up in the code, prob adding unnecessary loading time as well, can it all be put in a stylesheet and referenced? when I have done this before it didn’t seem to work as I know posting it to the page means inline gets read before stylesheets?
Hey Rich,
You could create a child theme: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes and keep all of your custom css in the child theme style.css instead
Already done that it’s just that I assumed that the custom css would not behave correctly as it’s being written to a style sheet in the code and not to the page, I know that css written into code takes priority over stylesheets – if you see what I mean, i’ll try it and see how I get on.
Plus you already have a lot of css written to the source code that isn’t mine, can you tell me why this is please and why this isn’t in it’s own stylesheet?
1. As long as you’re keeping the rules more specific or using !important when necessary you’ll be fine
2. The internal styles are used only for the dynamic styles in the theme i.e. the ones that have their values generated through PHP based on what you set in the options panel and can not reside in a static stylesheet.
on: http://richpearson.co.uk/photos/ how do I fill the rogue square spaces in the masonry layout? I would like the grid to be solid images please
Hey again, first make sure all of your images meet the minimum requirements for the chosen size. It looks like two of your projects (52. Kahraman & 53 The Black Coast) have a custom thumbnail defined instead of a featured image, Since there’s no cropping in that option, you would have to upload them at 500×500 to ensure correct fitting. Besides from that use this plugin to reorder your items http://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/ to ensure enough smaller items exist in areas in open spaces.
Cheers
After searching, couldn’t find the solution. So here it goes ->
1. I removed “love” after post excerpt when using Masonry Blog. It’s gone but the space where the heart was before is still there. How do I remove that line and empty space?
2. How do I remove post excerpts and post info only on Recent Posts? Masonry style is cool with excerpts, Recent Posts not so cool on our site. I’d like to have only picture and title when using Recent Posts shortcode.
3. Is there a way to show more than four posts when using Recent Posts shortcode?
Cheeeerz.
Hey MalmMedia!
1/2. If you can provide me the URL to the blog/recent post pages, I’ll gladly provide the css you need
3. This would require editing the shortcode-processing.php file located in the nectar/tinymce directory. You can search for “recent posts” to end up at the right section
Cheers
Do I need to enable Recent Posts so you can do your magic?
Hey again! Here’s the two snippets for your custom css box:
#search-results .result, .masonry-blog-item, .masonry-blog-item .content-inner {
padding-bottom: 0!important;
}
#search-results .result span.bottom-line, .masonry-blog-item span.bottom-line, article.post .post-meta {
display: none!important;
}
.blog-recent p {
display: none!important;
}
Hello!
Empty space and line after excerpt is still there and pic shows what happened to Recent Posts.
http://oi58.tinypic.com/35nbhpf.jpgHey again!
1. Whoops forgot a line:
article.post .content-inner {
border: none!important;
}
2. Since you’ve modified the code to show more than 4 recent posts – can you supply me the URL to the page so I can create the additional css needed to fix that?
Cheers
Line disappeared, awesome!
I modified only it to show 8 posts and it’ll be used on front page when it works.
Add this in as well
.blog-recent > div:nth-child(4n+1) {
clear: both!important;
}
It’s still a mess. First row shows 3 posts, second row 1 post and third row 4 posts.
I try to find some other way to fit my posts there, thanks for helping tho!
That’s weird because the code should work. I’m still totally willing to assist more so don’t feel like you’re pestering me

Hello
I want to use Contact Form 7 Date picker plugging to set up appointments however it is not working with Salient theme. It works great with twenty fourteen theme. I think it is using jQuery UI’s date picker so it maybe the source of the problem. Is there are quick fix of this problem?
Thank you
https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-datepicker/Hey ekapkin!
I’ve just tested with this plugin locally and could not see any behavior bugs both in the admin panel & on the front-end where a date picker was placed in a form. Can you please open a ticket with the URL to the page giving you issues in regards so I can see what’s going on?
Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar,
How do I create additional sidebars for use with widgets?
Hey kylesalonga,
You can’t define new actual sidebar areas yet, but by using a plugin like this: http://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/ you can easily control what widgets will display on specific pages
Hi Theme Nectar
I hope you are doing great.
I have a question related to a specific way a FAQ page can be displayed.
Would you know how to do it?
(the content of the page, the links that are the questions, a person clicks on a link and a list of links open, and when the person clicks on any of them, a block of information opens, all within the same page)
here is an example:
https://www.sklep.wittchen.com/contact.html#faq
Many thanks! Cheers Martyna
Hey Martyna, I hope you’re doing great too!
It’s basically a nested accordion but unfortunately WordPress doesn’t allow the same shortcode to be nested within itself. You’d need to use the raw HTML for the accordion in order to place an instance inside of itself, but depending on how many FAQ’s you have this could get time consuming (working all in html instead of the page builder/shortcodes)
Morning
Considering placing a zoom image plugin or something into my Woocommerce shop on the Salient theme. Which do you suggest would be best implemented?
I’ve tried the YITH one but have limited success (even with your added code in the functions) so I’m wondering if there is an alternative or perhaps something is being built into the next update so we don’t need another plugin??
Many thanks Dan
Hey Dan!
The functions.php fix for YITH should sort out the column issues and I can provide css to make the thumbnails sized correctly. This plugin is still the only one I have tested with so I’m inclined to recommend you to stick with it
Hello. Regarding the boxed layout, is there a way to prevent the boxed layout when reducing the width? The theme seems like it tries to keep the boxed layout on smaller widths and it looks really strange. I tried to implement a 1300px boxed layout, but when I go smaller, I would expect the page to look like a wide view, not maintain the boxed view, which again, looks odd. Thanks!
Hey joe88,
This would take a good deal of css to override the boxed widths and specific widths set to various elements in every viewport smaller than you’re chosen minimum width. If you want to mess with it, just check out all the rules pertaining to “boxed” in the responsive.css stylesheet.
Cheers
Hi, I added custom css to remove “No comments” and “Posted by” but I can’t remove it from “row blog-recent”. I checked everywhere with no luck. Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated
Hey fabv! As long as you’re on a recent release of Salient the recent posts element should also respect the css that removes these items from the main blog page. If you are indeed up to date and still are having this issue, please just supply me a URL to the page that’s having this issue so I can check
Cheers
Hello,
I am not sure if this is due to Salient but I cannot find the answer anywhere.. I am having the exact same issue as this post: https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/issues/4702But for me clearing the cache or using a different browser does not solve anything. The ‘selection bar’ in related products is very narrow and does now allow me to select something. It seems active but it is to small to function.
Any help on this would be much appreciated:)
OK so going into your support section lead me to the answer. apparantly this is a bug..
http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/168096/search/Hey dzineee, that was indeed a bug when using WooCommerce 2.1+ and older Salients – however, this was fixed in v3.1.5 of Salient and it now works as expected with WooCommerce 2.1+ so please just make sure both the theme and plugin are up to date on your end
ah your right. How should I perform update on salient? Just download .zip file and overwrite? No updates within WP?
Hey again – yes, just download the theme again from ThemeForest, delete your current version and upload the new
Hey ThemeNectar,
Another quick question. Is there a way to add some padding to the top of the home slider? I’d just like some space between the video and text and the top of the slider. Thanks!
http://www.morningowl.co/Thanks!
Hey morningowl!
I’m already see about 70px of space between the top of the slider and the content – are you saying they’re touching on your end? If so please let me know what browser you’re seeing this on
Cheers
Oh yes, I’d like to add more padding so it’s 100px total. There’s currently only 70 like you said.
Got it!
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
#body featured .orbit-slide article .container {
margin-top: 30px!important;
}
}
Sorry ThemeNectar, it didn’t work =( http://www.morningowl.co/
Basically, I just want to center the content vertically on the home slider
Hey again morningowl! I actually don’t see the css code getting applied on your setup. Is there anyway you can open a private ticket in regards so I can see what’s going on?
http://themenectar.ticksy.com/Cheers
And 1 last question for the day – sorry,
I’m developing a page that has a full screen nectar slider at the top and masonry layout underneath, is there any way the top header menu can be made transparent so the cover image pokes through, I don’t want this to be global though just on this page ??
Rich
Hey Rich,
If you can provide a URL to the page you want this mod on I’ll assist with the css
Brill thanks yep it’s http://richpearson.co.uk/photos/
Enter this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
.page-id-1271 #header-space {
display: none!important;
}
.page-id-1271 #header-outer {
background-color: transparent!important;
}
brill thanks works perfectly, is it possible to make the header not follow you down this particular page?
.page-id-1271 #header-outer {
position: absolute!important;
}
In responsive mode the headline gets pushed down the page, the button and caption disappear, do I need some styles for that page id to fix this please?
Sorry last one on this subject, when clicking the search it produces the blue background, I red this to be transparent as well
Hey,
1. Please place all the rule I gave you in this session into a media query that will only target desktop view:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
}
2.
body #search-outer {
background-color: #f53325!important;
}
Cheers
Done that thanks, works fine in ipad mode, just in mobile (iphone) view it now shows none of the text…
Add this in as well
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
.page-id-1271 .parallax_slider_outer.first-section .swiper-slide .content {
top: 129px !important;
}
}
Cheers
Hi !
I have an issue using qtranslate and the visual composer.
I first built the whole website in one language, then install qtranslate and use the language panel to translate into the other language but it broke my page as you can see it here (it duplicates the content).
http://corsa.daily-soul.com/tarifs/
The only solution that i found was to modify the code in the text area.
But then everytime that i use the visual composer it brakes the design again.
Any suggestion of what to do ?
(you can change the language in the footer)
Thanks
Ronan
Hey Ronan, have you considered looking into WPML? That plugin has been tested a lot more with Salient and you shouldn’t have any issues with duplicate content
yes but WPML is not a free ressource…
I will buy and use it because i need the website site to be seen in many languages.
But i think you should mention that your theme does not work with a free translation ressource.
There are a lot of people using qTranslate without that issue, but I simply don’t know the reason why it would be duplicating for you off the top of my head due to my limited experience with it. If you write on the qTranslate forums you might be able to get some more light shed on the subject assuming you don’t make the switch to WPML.
Cheers
An extra ‘)’ (bracket) appears at the bottom of the video when using the embed youtube/vimeo element.
It seems to come from a typo in the shortcode:
<div class="wpb_video_widget wpb_content_element">
<div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="wpb_video_wrapper"><div class="iframe-embed"><iframe style="width: 724px; height: 407.585px; opacity: 1; visibility: visible;" data-aspectratio="0.562962962962963" src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XseHZyvGtg?feature=oembed&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></div>)</div>
</div>
</div>
How do I fix this?
Hey sunstrikesolutions,
I’ve tested for this on my end and have been unable to replicate this or find anything that would point to this behavior. Can you please allow me to log in to your setup so I can check on this for you? Just paste a reference to your ticket number here
