Hello,
Does the theme support Visual Composer 3.7.2 and greater? Because I want to use the “Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer”
Hey OnlineThemes, yes it should work 
Cool. What about V.C. 4.0? Will it work?
Hey again – No, the theme is not using 4.0 yet.
Hey Phectar,
A few questions please...1- I’m still having an issue getting more than 4 posts to show in my blog. Ideally, I’d like 8.
2- How would I make the background color that my blog posts sit in transparent?
3- I can’t seem to remove the google map from the contact section and would like a nectar slider there instead.
Stellar stuff sir!
kind regards,
-CS
Hey CSMurphy! Hope you’ve been well
1. Go to Settings > Reading in your admin panel and enter in 8 for the “Blog pages show at most” field.
2. Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
body #search-results .result, body .masonry-blog-item {
background-color: transparent!important;
}
3. Change the page layout from “Contact” to “Default” in the page attributes box on the right hand side of your edit page screen for that page. Once you’ve done that the map will be gone and you can place a Nectar Slider in at the top via the page builder or shortcode
Cheers!
Thank you so much sir!
Oh just really quick for the transparency I still wanted the window to have the color showing but to blend with the background color of the blog. So I guess a partial transparency.
Is that possible?
No worries! Change the #2 snippet to this instead:
body #search-results .result, body .masonry-blog-item {
background-color: rgba(34,56,63,0.6)!important;
}
Thanks so much Phectar!
You’re welcome!
Hi there, how do I get the comments box to show up on my home page underneath the post (I’ve set up home page to show latest posts). The comments box appears fine on the inner pages of the blog, just not on the home page yet.
Thanks
Hey lisasuling,
If you tried to call the comment box on the recent posts shortcode it would also display all of the comments in that small narrow space inside each column. I wouldn’t recommend it & am not sure if it will work, but you can try opening the shortcode-processing.php file located in the nectar/tinymce directory for the mod. Once open, search for ”//recent posts” to end up at the right place.
Cheers
Hi there – I have a couple of issues with this theme and I have tried to register on your support forum and it doesn’t work so can someone fix these asap?
Issue One: the shop doesn’t display the products on the one line e.g. http://samanthahurst.com.au/shop/
Issue Two: The contact form isn’t working on this website http://ophiram.com.au/contact-us/
Hey Samantha,
1. Add this into the bottom of the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel: .woocommerce ul.products li.first, .woocommerce-page ul.products li.first {
clear: none !important;
}
2. You’ll need to get in touch with your hosting company in regards as the issue lies within your servers ability to send emails rather than the theme you’re using.
Cheers
ok thanks!
You’re welcome
Is there any way to create menus to display only on specific pages? I would love to create several menus, then specify which menu to display on specific pages only.
Thanks!
Hey FromInfinity!
You could use a plugin like this to dictate what pages certain widgets (such as the custom menu one) will display on: http://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/
Cheers
thanks!
You’re welcome
Hi. I need to put a link conversion-tracking pixels to track the actions people take on my website when clicking on a Facebook advertising. This can be done pasting a SCRIPT in the HEAD of the page (and only the page) that trigger the event. And then putting a 1×1 px image on the page to track the event.
My problem is that if I put the script on every page, similar to Google Analytics tracking code, then it’s impossible to track that specific event I need to.
Can you suggest any way how to add SCRIPT only to a specific page (in this case the “Thank You” page that trigger on when some user submit to a form)?
Or any other workaround?
The code is something similar to this below.
<!
- Facebook Conversion Code for EmailSubmitted -> <script type=”text/javascript”> var fb_param = {}; fb_param.pixel_id = ‘0000000000000’; fb_param.value = ‘0.01’; fb_param.currency = ‘EUR’; (function(){ var fpw = document.createElement(‘script’); fpw.async = true; fpw.src = ’//connect.facebook.net/en_US/fp.js’; var ref = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; ref.parentNode.insertBefore(fpw, ref); })(); </script> <noscript></noscript>
oh… and thanks in advance, for the great support you offer to your customer.
and… these are the instructions that Facebook gave about where to place the script.
1. Copy and paste the following code between <head> and </head> on the page of your website you want to track actions. For example, to track registrations, place the code on your ‘registration completed’ web page.
2. To verify that the pixel is working correctly, test it by navigating to the web page you put the pixel on. If it’s working, the pixel will send that information back to Facebook.
Hey mtontini!
You should be able to get away with just placing this inside of a Raw JS element in the page builder – I would just make it the top element in the page builder to ensure it gets loaded in as quick as possible
Cheers
I’m having two issues with this theme.
1. How can I adjust the Caption Line height in the Nectar Slider?
2. How can I add a drop shadow to the Title and caption text to make it more visible overtop of the image background?
I’ve tried to find answers in other comments but nothing I’ve found has addressed either issue OR worked. Thank you!
Hey vincidesigns,
1. Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:@media only screen and (min-width: 1300px) {
.swiper-slide .content p {
line-height: 50px!important;
}
}
2. The caption already has an option to enable the transparent black BG – are you simply looking to add that to the header as well or add an actual text shadow onto them both instead?
Cheers
Hi Thanks for the quick reply! I would like to be able to add a text shadow to both. I’d like independent control though. I might only want it on the title and not the caption or vice versa. Thanks so much!
Here’s the css to add the BG to the heading:
.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;
}
If you wanted independent control you would have to add a class onto the slides you wish to target with this separately and then change the rule above accordingly
that gives me a box shadow, not a text shadow. Also the line height code is not working. Please help
Please help guys. I need a text shadow, not the box behind the text. And the line height code for the caption you provided is not doing anything.
Hey again,
1. The first snippet I provided for the line height only was targeting the large desktop view (1300px+) if you’re viewing on a monitor smaller you won’t see the change. Here’s a revised snippet to cover all the desktop views:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
body .swiper-slide .content p {
line-height: 50px!important;
}
}
Just adjust the 50px as needed.
2. Here’s the correct css for the text shadow instead of the box shadow:
body .swiper-slide .content p, body .swiper-slide .content h2 {
text-shadow: 0px 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
-webkit-text-shadow: 0px 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
}
Cheers
Hi, on the subject of Visual composer. Do you support the addons for VC from its makers Wpbakery?
Hey jaroslav! The only one I’m aware of any issues with is templatera – working on the support for it though
Cool So I guess theres on harm getting them. Will the compatibility remain with the coming versions of salient will your visual composer get different roads?
It’d be great if you guys published a roadmap or something. Its a fantastic theme and knowing where it’s heading would help planning the development of websites we already have.
Hey again!
Compatibility will still exist going forward but as far as updating to 4.0+ I’m going to wait a little to let the bugs cool down before seeing how it would effect Salient/what would need to be done to allow it to work
Cheers
Hello! I have some trouble with visual composer. Yesterday I have bought salient theme and had installed it. It is not all items in visual composer. Whats wrong with it? http://ticksy_attachments.s3.amazonaws.com/6005434196.png
Hey redsylab!
Have you checked to make sure you don’t have a plugin conflict? If that’s not the case can you please open a private ticket in the support forum so I can log in and see what’s going on?

How can I upload my own videos to my own website directory ie. Uploads/Video.m4v
? and get it to work? it says I need two formats? what and how to I convert a video to .ogv ???
nevermind I found your YouTube Video.. so everything is working now… but How do I remove the HOME SLIDER? it’s currently stacked above my Nector Slider from the Homepage – Alternate ??
Glad to hear Milo! If your Home Slider is showing on a page you don’t want it to be, please ensure the page layout is set to default in the “Page Attributes” box on the right hand side of your edit page screen
Hello, How would I go about adding a Blogger Social Media icon on the footer?
Thank you!
Hey swizenfeld! You would just need to open the footer.php file and add a new list item into the:
<ul id="social">
which would contain your icon/image of Blogger
Hi Nectar,
You probably get this question a lot, but I don’t see a FAQ, so here goes…
I cannot get a video (mp4) to run as a background in the Nectar slider. I modified my .htaccess file as suggested in the documentation, and also had my video converted using video.online-convert.com/convert-to-mp4. Is there anything else I should try? Does it need a preview image to work? Thanks!
Will
Hey Will!
Are you also supplying the webm version? Both are required to make the video BG cross browser compatible. If you can provide a link to the page giving you trouble I’ll gladly take a look
Thanks. The page is: http://modulemaster.com/rebuilds/
I added a webm version but still no video appearing. Not sure what I could be missing.
Will
Hey again Will!
The URL you’ve linked only contains one slide with an image BG – have you removed the video BG for the time being?
Thanks for checking it out. I finally got it working!
I work on several different machines, and the Windows 7 laptop I was using last could not make the slider location button work, so the slide wasn’t even enabled. Thanks!
You’re very welcome & glad to hear you sorted it!
Is it possible to have a link from the Icon section? For example, the Icons on the demo site that are “100% Responsive Design”, “Award Winning Quality” and so on?
I’d like to link my icons on http://www.oyaki.co.uk/ to their associated pages. Possible?
Hey andrewloy!
Yes, just switch into the text editor and wrap them in a standard HTML anchor like so:
<a href="http://your-link.com"> [icon_shortcode_here] </a>
Hey! Thanks for the response I tried putting the link in the shortcode.. my bad!
Another quick question… on the same domain I’m seeing some duplicate tiles in my portfolio even though I only have 1 post for each? Any ideas?
Can’t wait to push this live to my business domain!
No worries!
It looks like you have the portfolio page template assigned in your page attributes box in addition to using the portfolio page builder element on the page. Please change the page layout to default in the page attributes box on the right hand side of the edit page screen for your portfolio to sort this
Theme Nectar,
A day ago, a comment was left by “boheema” claiming problems with Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu plugin not working with the Salient Theme.
THIS IS NOT TRUE.
CAUSE:
The problem he was reporting is NOT because of the Salient theme (as the same issue is reported with many wp 3.8+ custom themes). It has to do with the SETTINGS within the Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu plugin itself.
SOLUTION:
Users of this Plugin Need to Following:
Once the plugin is activated, go to GENERAL SETTINGS of the plugin, scroll down the page, UNCHECK – Display original menu icons in top level links.
This corrects the plugin display.
I have not yet tested on Salient (as not yet purchased, but will as soon as I wrap up my current projects), however this is a common enough occurrence when using the plugin with most ANY WP 3.8+ custom theme and it is easily fixed with the above.
All that to say, the wp 3.8+ custom themes work 100% perfectly with this plugin once this simple setting adjustment is made.
Cheers
Thanks so much for clearing this up ablisstellsitlikeitis! I’ve taken the time to test this and it turns out you were correct
Cheers!
Hi Nectar, How do you change the color of the text in blog comments? Currently it is the color of my main body text which is set over a dark background. The blog comment box background is white making my light colored text unreadable. Thanks!!!!
Hey powerhound!
try using this in the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.comment-list li.comment div p,
.comment-list li.comment div {
color: #000!important;
}
Cheers
Thanks man!
You’re welcome!
Hey jimmy-george, I haven’t tested with that plugin but if you go with Salient and it gives you issues just let me know
Hi ThemeNectar,
I want to report a little bug:
When you make your site boxed and use the custom footer colors, the background body color will be the same as the footer copyright box. In colors.php on line 253 there is a body tag..
Just to let you know!
Greetings, Lars
Hey Lars!
This is necessary for the non boxed layout, but you’re correct in saying it shouldn’t be there when the boxed option is on! Thanks for reporting
Hi ThemeNectar!
I am considering to purchase this great theme, but before I do, I have two questions:
1. Is it possible to open a portfolio item in a lightbox if I use the masonry style portfolio? Like in the default style portfolio when I click a portfolio item, it opens in a lightbox, and that is what I need, but in masonry style portfolio the item opens in a different way on the demo site.
2. Is it possible to add gaps between the portfolio items in the masonry style portfolio? Here is an example of what I would like to achieve: http://mir.no/work/
Hey Gollydoor,
1. Yes, you have the option for every portfolio style to enable the “lightbox only” option which eliminates the single project page link.
2. Unfortunately this would require a fair deal of css to make it look perfect if you need to add some space – however i’ve noted the idea for the wishlist.
Cheers
Instead of query Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest on each pageview, it would be nice if this could be cached. -> Less requests, better performance. I found something on http://w4dev.com/wp/social-share-count-wordpress-post/, including example-code. They Idea: Query the APIs, store result in Postmeta, asked APIs again, is Postmeta is older than X hours.
Would it be hard to implement this in Salient?
Hey krohn,
It’s a good idea, but it would indeed require a fair deal of work to implement the code and then change the js/php files to work accordingly. I’ve noted this for the wishlist though
Cheers
If this would be part of the functions.php I could easily overwrite it in a child theme without having to check if other parts of header.php / footer.php changed.
The social query only takes place in the init.js file – are you referring to your other post about the social icon ordering?
No worries
Hi there!
I was wondering for the icons for the “back to portfolio” as well as all the arrow icons – is there a way to use my own custom icons using .png files?
Otherwise, how can I add my own icons?
Thank you and I look forward to your reply.
Best, Larry
Hey Larry!
You’d need to open the single-portfolio.php file and replace these lines with your own icons or image tags:
<i class="icon-salient-back-to-all" /> <i class="icon-salient-left-arrow-thin" /> <i class="icon-salient-right-arrow-thin" />
Cheers
Thank you so much! I’ll give this a try. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
