I want to know why my website – www.longtran.co. on Firefox, it is fine, but on Chrome all the layout was jump around. Please let me know how can i fix this.
Thanks
Hey longzone!
You need to update to the latest version of the theme to get rid of this bug caused by Chrome 33.
Cheers 
where do i go to get the latest version of the theme?
You can download it right from your ThemeForest download page (the same place you initially downloaded it)

Theme install failed.
Please see this article in regards and scroll down to “Common ‘Broken Theme’ and ‘Stylesheet Missing’ WordPress Issues”

i tried then this occurs: Destination folder already exists
ok got it..
Glad to hear
Hi, is it possible to remove the top menu entirely, have no logo and just start with the slider right at the top? This is for a landing page which needs no top menu.
Thanks
Hey lisasuling! Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.home #header-outer, .home #header-space {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
Does anyone have a useful template or guide for how to position content elements within a Nectar slider slide so that they remain clear and visible when sized down for mobile display? Ours are getting weirdly cropped and the resized images from our developer aren’t cutting it in terms of quality.
Hey globalecommerce, if you can supply a URL I’d be glad to take a look for you
love.jurlique.com/au/earthday
Hey again – I’ve checked your URL on two smartphones (GS4 & an iPhone 5) and can’t see any issues with the quality of your images – all of the text is still completely crisp and in the content area where it should be. The accent images are indeed clipped on the edges in portrait view but fully exposed in landscape view which is also to be expected. Can you please let me know what device you’re looking at the site on to see the quality you’re experiencing?
Cheers
The issue isn’t that the images or text aren’t clear. The issue is that the carousel images are getting pretty severely cropped on mobile devices, which is making it really difficult for us to create full-slide buttons that have a call-to-action and other graphical elements that are readable on screens of different sizes without having to add a lot of padding in the margins to make sure they don’t get cropped out. This is more an issue vertically than horizontally.
You can see a test page with a measurement grid image as the full-slide button at http://love.jurlique.com/au/a/. You can see the differences in screenshots for Windows laptop, Windows external monitor, MacBook Retina 13”, iPhone and Galaxy S4 at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7xdqg2ypw0vxg06/yBTIpab2gr
We’re also not sure why the header would be covering up a bit of the top of the slide.
Please note: I’m not a designer and not well-versed in responsive (nor in your theme), so I know it’s possible the answer may be something as simple as, “Hey, you just need to make the image 1500px wide instead of 2000px,” but would appreciate your insights.
Hey again, thanks for clearing that up!
The reason for this behavior is that the slider only adjusts it height once for the mobile viewport (which is why landscape shows more of the edges). The next update is going to add an option to the Nectar Slider to allow constantly scaling so the entire image will be seen no matter what screen size if you prefer that behavior – however if you want to shrink the image more in the portrait view now to hold yourself over I can assist with the css if you’d like
Yes, would be great if you could help us with the CSS. If you send us the CSS and instructions for where to put it, we’ll give it a try.
Enter this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
body .nectar-slider-wrap.first-section {
margin-top: -20px !important;
}
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
.nectar-slider-wrap {
height: 140px!important;
}
.swiper-container, .swiper-slide {
height: 142px!important;
}
}
Okay, tried the code, and what happened is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wu08jn8lokddt7r/2014-03-20%2021.51.23.png. Basically, much of the image wound up getting cropped from top down. I adjusted the height from 140 and 142 to 290 and 292, and I think between adjusting these and adjusting the images we’ll probably be able to get this to work.
However, after I dropped in the CSS you provided, we saw a really strange issue on an HTC One. When the carousel is swiped (and, sometimes, just when the page loads) it loads okay, but then everything below the nav shifts to the left, leaving a black bar on the right hand side. See: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ws44kkgy5d3serj/Screenshot_2014-03-20-15-07-35.png
Hey again – that’s weird. The code only effects the height and should not cause any extra width which is what it looks like in that issue. Have you narrowed that behavior down to only happening when the snippet is active?
Yes, only happens when that snippet is active.
Is there anyway you could leave it active for me to check it happen on this page: http://love.jurlique.com/au/a/ so I can try to find the cause?
Yeah I did that with a plugin, however that page doesn’t exist in that location hence the 404 page, for obvious reasons I don’t want to change header.pho in the main theme as updates to theme will overwrite my work, hence the child theme
Check out the guide I linked in your other comment regarding the rewriting and see if that helps
@richardpearsonwb
I don’t think it’s possible to do what you want (at least not without problems) the only way that you could do that is without issues is point people to the http://www.richpearson.co.uk/bd.php and in that bd.php file you put a iframe in the page like so:<?php // Escape php ?> <iframe src="http://richpearson.co.uk/wp-content/themes/salient_child/bd.php"></iframe> <?php // Escape php ?>
that you people would visit the first url but the content form the iframe url will be shown.
Without this method it would be Spoofing and that really comes close to spam/phishing.
When I open http://www.richpearson.co.uk/bd.php it shows me a “FOUR04” Page.
EDIT: I see that the child theme url redirects to the first url now
Thanks so much again for trying to help another user out – you rock!
@RedactiePartners Thanks for the info however this doesn’t actually exist http://www.richpearson.co.uk/bd.php I just want the URL to change to this so users cannot see the wp-content path in the child theme eg http://richpearson.co.uk/wp-content/themes/salient_child/bd.php.
Can this be achieved in the .htaccess file ?
Hey Rich, here’s an article that explains how to rewrite the structure of various paths within WP – the same technique should be usable for the child theme: http://www.kevinleary.net/hide-site-is-using-wordpress/
Hi there,
Firstly, thanks for such a great theme, makes it really easy to create a fantastic looking site.
I’m having a bit of an issue with the responsiveness. On mobile, my 3 column portfolio is stacking the pictures on top of each other (think the classic card game solitaire, you can only see the tops of the images, then the full face of the image on top). If you emulate this by ‘pulling the browser in’ on desktop, the pictures stack nicely one under each other, as expected.
These portfolios are in a tab, so I don’t know if that complicates things, but I suspect not.
You can see the site over at http://www.digadoctrailers.co.uk, its the two product pages.
Many thanks in advance for any light you may be able to shed on this.
Hey Phacin8!
This does indeed sound like an issue caused by nesting the portfolio in a tabbed element. To try and sort this, open your init.js file located in the js folder and place this into the top after the first line:
$(window).load(function(){
$(window).trigger('resize');
});
Cheers
@richpearsonwd and @tabishiqbal
paste the following inside the css box in General Settings of Salient:
#header-outer {
background: transparent;
box-shadow: none;
}
.container-wrap {
margin-top: -90px;
}
.small-nav {
background: white !important;
box-shadow: 0 0 3px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.22);
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 3px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.22);
-moz-box-shadow: box-shadow: 0 0 3px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.22);
}
Again @richpearsonwd
Couldn’t you use a 301 Redirect in your .htaccess file? (be aware that editing your .htaccess can result in strange behaviour)
Hey RedactiePartners! Thanks so much for helping out others
Hi Guys, bit of a different question, does anyone know how to rewrite a child themes URL…
Eg I have a browser detect page here: http://richpearson.co.uk/wp-content/themes/salient_child/bd.php or open the latest copy of safari and type in http://richpearson.co.uk to get re-directed.
However I don’t want this URL to appear in the browser, e.g, I would prefer it to be this: http://www.richpearson.co.uk/bd.php
Any help would be appreciated Thanks Rich
two pre-sale questions
1-Can I have two flags (or something similar) for change lenguage anytime the user wants?
2- Can I have hidden (sub)sections on the navbar? Only for signup users (not pay. just allowed for the admin)
thx. I really like this theme
Hey farothx!
1. Yes, but this would require the use of the plugin WPML.
2. You can indeed as long as you had a way of placing them there (also probably would require the use of a plugin)
Cheers!
Hi Bud, I’m writing some code to detect browsers and re-direct them according. according to your opening page this theme supports: IE8, IE9, IE10, IE11, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome.
However I’m sure there are issues with older versions of IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome, can you tell me which versions of the above don’t work at all with Salient please and which ones I should block out?
Cheers Rich
Hey Rich,
Anything older than IE8 will definitely not work – but I wouldn’t worry about the other browsers since they are a lot better at prompting/forcing users to stay current so the odds are most people are not on very outdated versions of the others. (I’ve never encountered reports of the theme not working on older versions of the other browsers).
Cheers!
I have achieved the browser detection (which I do need, complicated to explain why) could you look lower down the threads here and see what you think re the URLs please as I’m really stuck – thank you for all your help your a star
Glad to hear you sorted it and yes, I’ll be going through the other questions
Hi
Trying to open a link to show youtube video in a lightbox. That works. I have added the html code in the text tab.
But the overlay is buggy, black transparent background of prettyphoto is not showing. It is not working, until I right click inspect element. Then it shows.
It doesn’t work on your demo either. Buy a beer button: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/love-at-first-sight/ – no overlay.
Please advise how to solve this problem.
Thanks!
It seems to be for Chrome only.
Hey smartnisse! Yes, this is another unexpected curve ball that Chrome 33 brought. It’s been fixed already though and the fix will be included in the upcoming release
Feature Request!
Transparent Header – Please! When you scroll down it should become solid by it self.
Thanks!
Hey tabishiqbal, thanks for the request!
Cheers
Hiya, sorry for repeating this post I know we discussed it before however I now know what I want to achieve in the header of the website.
Basically I need the header (menu/logo) bar to be semi transparent but when you scroll down the page the bar follows you and becomes a permanent solid colour…
Just like this: http://focuslabllc.com/ possible?
Rich
Hey Rich,
I’ve answered you on your ticket in regards
Hello guys,
I am unable to set a (nectar) slider on top of my WooCommerce shopping page.. Is this incompatible with each other? Or am I doing something wrong?
Please advise:)
Hey dzineee,
You just need to create a static page with the Nectar Slider on top and use the WooCommerce shortcodes below to generate your product list. Trying to place one on the defined products page in the WooCommerce settings won’t work.
Cheers
New version nearly ready yet bud?
Been working on it everyday, should be about another week
Hello ThemeNectar,
Salient is simply wonderful, I’ve never seen such elegant and powerful features before! Exceptional work, keep it up!
I would like to make some custom made adjustments for our site. Can you propose a collaborator (if you don’t offer it as an extra service) of yours that does customization and that knows how salient works?
Thanks so much diafora17!
Unfortunately I don’t have a specific developer to recommend, but a lot of people have had great success getting their custom development done at microlancer so I would definitely check there first before anywhere else
Cheers!
Thanks so much for your prompt reply!
Of course
Would it be possible or how easy would it be to add an overlay option to nectar slider images, eg a good example is here: https://arwilfried.exposure.so/trip-on-skye this website uses a toggle button to achieve this, so by default it’s covers have an overlay then you can turn it on or off if you require.
Hey Rich, the visual composer rows offer you a background overlay when using video BG’s but as of now that’s the only option available for that in the theme. The easiest way to get a BG overlay on an image would be to simply create it in the image itself in Photoshop for now.
hmm ok but that would be permanent I want it to be added as an image over the top with a toggle button to turn it off? – perhaps it’s something you can add to your list for non video backgrounds, or guide me on how to add it in the code?
Noted it for the wishlist but it would require a fair deal of custom development to add now – a few too many steps to explain adding a new input color picker, querying for that data and adding it into the HTML/creating the css for it.
Hiya,
I’m having issues aligning my cover images up, I have aligned my cover with centre in the nectar slider however Robs top image http://thelifecycle.roblutter.com/ is also aligned at centre but shows far more of the image, it’s almost like my image is sitting at the bottom rather than the centre – any ideas please? One though I had is that he isn’t using the nectar slider and is using a header image or static image?
Hey again,
checking your top slider I can indeed see that it’s set to center (and Rob is also using a Nectar Slider set to center by the way).
If you want to see the difference between center & bottom just set the slide to bottom for the BG alignment and you’ll see it move
Yeah set it exactly the same as his, same height on the image and everything, same image even, I wonder if it’s because I’m using the captions and headline and he isn’t??
Attempt to add this into the css box:
.home .container-wrap {
margin-top: 0!important;
}
Hi,
I am having some size issues with the home slider. The slider is cutting off part of the image, even when I make the image smaller or adjust the height in options. Can you help please? I’m a bit stuck.
I think I have solved the problem. I forgot to go to the page and edit the nectar slider from there. I was doing it from the Salient options page before. Doh!
Hey wilmamae!
Glad you sorted it
Cheers!
