Hey there—I am helping a friend with a fresh install of Salient on their site, and the shortcode menu formatting seems to be a bit broken.
Screenshot here: http://screencast.com/t/17rtoAKF
I tried checking in both Chrome and Safari, tried deleting and re-uploading the Salient theme multiple times, and upgraded Wordpress, to no avail. Do you know what might be causing it? 
Thanks!!
Hey olganunes!
Please make sure they don’t have an outdated version of WooCommerce installed
Hi – Just a question before I buy this theme. I would like to have the add to cart button displayed right under the product image. I’m sure this is possible, but could it be realized within this template?
Hey Moiety! This would require some WooCommerce filters to be added to modify the content positioning within the plugin. I’m sure others have wanted to do this before so you could probably find a snippet online already & if not, just ask i the WooCommerce forums
Cheers
And another question: I’ve added a slider and widget in the same row next to each other. On the desktop it looks nice, but on iPad or any other mobile device it isn’t responsive. On a mobile device the slider and the widget need to be removed. I think the solution is something like: if the screen is smaller than 400px the slider and widget are not displayed. Could you help me with this?
Hey again Moiety!
Yes this could be achieved via a simple css media query – if you can link me to the URL of the page you need help on this with I’ll gladly write the snippet
Cheers
Website: moiety.nl – Glad to hear you would like to write the snippet. Thanks in advance!
No problem! Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width : 1000px) {
.page-id-22 .first-section.full-width-section {
display: none!important;
}
}
Well, actually I need the rating widget displayed on the mobile, so that the slider is removed. On the tablet, only the slider is visible. Is this possible?
If you watch my website on tablet size you can see the header isn’t ‘responsive’ as it should be.
In that case, change the snippet to this:
@media only screen and (max-width : 1000px) {
.page-id-22 .first-section.full-width-section .vc_span10 {
display: none!important;
}
.page-id-22 .first-section.full-width-section .vc_span2 {
width: 100%!important;
}
}
Cheers
Thanks! And do you have also a code for tablet format?
You’re welcome
Change the above snippet to be:
@media only screen and (max-width : 690px) {
.page-id-22 .first-section.full-width-section .vc_span10 {
display: none!important;
}
.page-id-22 .first-section.full-width-section .vc_span2 {
width: 100%!important;
}
}
@media only screen and (min-width : 690px) and (min-width : 1000px) {
.page-id-22 .first-section.full-width-section .vc_span10 {
width: 100%!important;
}
.page-id-22 .first-section.full-width-section .vc_span2 {
display: none!important;
}
}
Hello – Just a question before I buy. On the alternative portfolio page is it possible to remove the click-thru to the underlying page? Pretty much just want all the portfolio images to appear there, with the hover effect, but no option to click-thru.
thanks!
Hey sweenetoad,
There’s the option for “lightbox only” which will remove the single page and only allow the image to be opened larger on the same page
Cheers
Thanks ThemeNectar. Any option to remove even the lightbox?
You’re welcome!
As long as you’re on 4.0+ this will sort it (enter in your custom css box in the Salient options panel)
body .portfolio-items .col .work-item.style-2 .work-info a {
display: none !important;
}
Cheers
Hi,Great theme you’re developing here.
On the main header video slider. Is there a way to stop the video on the last frame or equivalent. Please see my site below to see what I mean.
www.hypehousephoto.com
Or is there a certain way for the video to disappear leaving a revealed logo or photo that was originally being hidden by the video slider?Thanks
Hey paulhill1987,
unfortunately both of these items would take some custom development – however the first one is already on the wishlist
Cheers
Hi! I was wondering. Is it possible to place a logo in the centre of the header instead of the left alignment? So what I am aiming for is a header with the logo in the centre and two pages on the left of the logo and two pages on the right of the logo.
Thank you.
Hey casperatos!
It’s possible to make the logo center with all the links below it but unfortunately splitting the menu items up to be on both sides of it would require development and wouldn’t be practical with css alone. If you’re interested in having the logo centered on top with the links centered under, please let me know so I can provide the css.
Cheers
That would be very helpful! Is it possible to receive this css? Thanks!
No problem! Enter this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
header#top nav {
text-align: center!important;
}
header#top nav > ul {
float: none!important;
display: inline-block!important;
}
body #header-outer .span_9, body #header-outer .span_3 {
display: block!important;
float: none!important;
margin: 0!Important;
width: 100%!important;
}
header#top #logo img {
margin: 0 auto 20px auto!important;
}
Pre-Sales Question:
First off, awesome theme! I really love the simplicity and elegance of it. I was wondering before purchasing if there is an option to change the map color or make it just black and white? Here is a good example of what I mean http://dante.swiftideas.net/pages/contact-2/ . And if there us no option for this is it possible to achieve this some other way?
Thanks =) jazeppi
Hey jazeppi!
Additional coloring options for this will be coming in the upcoming release
Cheers
As always great theme but I’m stuck again…
I’ve setup woocommerce on your great theme. I’m trying to add another tab next to the description tab found on the product page. I’ve bought a plugin to accomplish this – woocommerce tabmanager . For some reason the changes I’m making to the plugin are not appearing within the product page. It seems that the issue is theme related, can you help me with this please?
Hey ctrlinternet!
If you’ve already narrowed it down to only occurring with Salient please open a ticket up with your admin credentials here so I can troubleshoot it for you
(Please paste your ticket ID here when you’ve done so)
Cheers
Ticket: #187917. Thanks for your help
You’re welcome
Hi,
Is there any way to manually order the Project Categories, they are currently display in Alphabetical order and they drive the menu items in the Portfolio navigation, so I would like to be able to re-order so that I can choose what comes first in the pecking order.
Thx, Simon.
Hey Simon!
This might be an easy solution for that http://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/
Cheers
ThemeNector, you’re a star! That looks like it will tick all the boxes. Many thx for your help.
You’re very welcome
Alas this http://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/ doesn’t fit the bill, tested it and it allows you to re-order the categories in the admin but applying the changes just results in them returning to alphabetical order.
In that case you’d probably need to edit the code – if you’re using the portfolio page builder element/shortcode open up the shortcode-processing.php file located in the nectar/tinymce directory and search for “wp_list_categories”. You can add a new parameter into the arguments for “orderby”. Please check out the possible options here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories and make sure to edit all instances of “wp_list_categories” in the file as there’s more than one
Cheers
That did the trick, I ordered them by slug and edited these, however I would have preferred to have left the slugs as they were for seo purposes. Is there a way I can amend a categories unique ID. Or I wonder if there is an option I could use that would enable the intuitive custom post order to work?
Thx again!
You’re welcome!
Unfortunately I’m not aware of any trick for either of these ways and I would need to do the required research on the subject as well.
Best of luck with this & let me know if you have any other questions
I have Version: 1.9 salient theme, it is installed correctly. For a better grip I need to update my version. Should I reinstall the entire theme, or is it possible to just update without difficulty? I’m afraid of having to redo the content and configurations! Thak you for all
Hey sirpyle!
As long as you haven’t modded the files directly you’re safe to delete the theme and upload the new one. All of your theme settings and content are actually stored in the database and will persist through the update
Cheers
Hi there,
Thanks so much for all the continued support. I noticed when the nav menu goes into mobile, all the dropdowns from the desktop disappear. How do I make it so the submenu dropdown from the desktop show up on the mobile version?
Thank you!
Best, Larry
Hey Larry!
The dropdowns should still be there and accessible via the arrow on the right side of the menu. Is your site acting different than the live demo in this sense? If so please allow me to check out your URL to see what’s up
Cheers!
I tried to Trash an Slide in the Salient Slider – or what was it called. I selected “Trash” and it killed the server. On tech support call now. Please check if this happens to anyone or its 1 off occurrence.
Thanks
Hey ivanpivan! There’s been no similar reports and the trashing functionality for the slider doesn’t user any different method for trashing than the standard WordPress post types. What exactly do you mean by “killed”? If everything went white it could be a memory issue on the server.
Let me know if any new light was shed on this since it occurred
Cheers
Any way to take out the google map on the contact page? Thanks!
Hey again!
Yes, simply unassign the contact page layout in the “page attributes” box when editing that page
Cheers
Thank you!
You’re welcome
Hi ThemeNectar,
Is it possible to have a overlapping header with this theme as seen here on this site? http://www.stansdonutschicago.com
Hey timkoontz82,
that could be accomplished by removing the background color and adding a background image that has a transparent bottom. Here’s a snippet you can enter into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel as an example
#header-outer {
box-shadow: none!important;
background-color: transparent!important;
background-image: url('http://i.imgur.com/7BzB0rE.png');
background-position: bottom;
padding-bottom: 40px!important;
}
Cheers!
amazing…you guys are amazing. Thank you!
You’re very welcome!
I’ve got the transparent header to work and changed the color of the header background to clear, but black is still showing underneath my header. site is live here… http://pairdesignchicago.com/thecravebar
Anyway to fix this? Thank you
Hey
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
#header-space {
height: 150px!important;
}
}
Cheers
Thank you, I was able to get it with your code. When the window reduces to an iPad size, there’s two rows of the chocolate header. Anyway to not have it do this? http://pairdesignchicago.com/thecravebar
You’re welcome – add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
header#top nav > ul > li > a {
padding-left: 6px!important;
}
Cheers
Thank you! That worked, but when in responsive view the dark background is still visible underneath the header… please see screenshot here… http://i.imgur.com/lUFBhPB.png
You’re welcome! Finish it off with this:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
body #header-outer {
margin-bottom: -73px!important;
}
}
Hi,
Really love this theme, until it’s time to put it live…
Is there any way to back up, save or export the options chosen in the Salient options panel as when I migrate my site to live I lose all the settings including custom css.
Can you please advise?
Thx.
Hey Readbelow,
the standard procedure for moving a WordPress site live involves exporting/importing the database (the options will come too). If you’re not familiar with the process please check out these resources for more information:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress http://gilbert.pellegrom.me/moving-wordpress-useful-sql-queries/Cheers
Hi, I am pretty well versed in moving wordpress sites and editing databases and sql, but have not come across this before. However I will have look at the links you have provided as I haven’t come across the second and i’m always thirsty for knowledge in making wordpress easier to migrate.
What about a back up / import / export facility for the options? Is this planned?
Thx.
Yes ironically this is coming in the next update – but as I mentioned if you just export/import the entire database of your setup all the options will come
Cheers!
Sorry, another quick question… Is there an easy way of applying the texture grid on the homepage image to header images in other pages?
It would require adding an extra div in the output function with you could then use css to set the texture on that position it above the image itself. If you can add the div into the page header output function with a specific class in the functions.php I can assist with the css to turn it into a texture for you
Cheers
Ok, still trying to find my way round, could you tell me where I would find the page header output function please? My php needs work but I won’t have any probs with the css. Cheers
Sure – it’s located in the functions.php file just run a search for “nectar_page_header” to end up at the right place.
Cheers
On second thoughts some help with the css would be great!
I am guessing I could use “video_texture active_texture” on an extra div in functions.php ?? I just not sure where, in the below… Sorry I will leave you be after this Did I mention your theme is amazing 
<?php echo $title; ?>
<?php echo $subtitle; ?> <?php // portfolio filters if( $page_template 'template-portfolio.php' && $display_sortable ‘1’ && $inline_filters == ‘0’) { ?> <?php echo (!empty($options[‘portfolio-sortable-text’])) ? $options[‘portfolio-sortable-text’] : __(‘Sort Portfolio’,NECTAR_THEME_NAME); ?>- <?php echo __(‘All’, NECTAR_THEME_NAME); ?> <?php wp_list_categories(array(‘title_li’ => ’’, ‘taxonomy’ => ‘project-type’, ‘show_option_none’ => ’’, ‘walker’ => new Walker_Portfolio_Filter())); ?>
Hey again!
Head to the nectar_page_header function and add it in like this:
<div class="not-loaded" id="page-header-bg" data-alignment="<?php echo (!empty($text_align)) ? $text_align : 'left' ; ?>" data-parallax="<?php echo (!empty($parallax_bg) && $parallax_bg == 'on') ? '1' : '0'; ?>" data-height="<?php echo (!empty($height)) ? $height : '350'; ?>" style="background-color: <?php echo $bg_color?>; background-image: <?php echo $bg; ?>; height: <?php echo $height;?>px;">
<div class="video_texture active_texture">
<div class="container">
so that it’s right after the opening page-header-bg div but before the container div
Beautiful !! You are a Scholar and a Gentleman. Thx
You’re very welcome
Hi there,
Will using slider revolution work with this theme? I would like more animation and popups etc for my slider.
Hoping it’s compatible with this theme.
Hey App_24, there should be no issues with it – you’ll probably just have to call the function in the template file if you want it fullwidth though.
Cheers
Hi there!
This may be a very stupid question, but how do I get it so I can input a simple 2-column text layout in any page?
I see 1/2, 1/3 etc columns in the shortcodes, but when I use two of these together, they don’t end up side by side.
Thank you for your help!
Best, Larry
Hey Larry!
Here’s two tutorials that I know will help you:
1. A guide on using the shortcodes (including the column system) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKGIs0MjSag
2. The page builder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4mt0lOJ888 (much easier way to build layouts)
Cheers
How do I use the visual page builder? Is it included or do I need to install it?
Hey markcurrier, it’s included with the theme – just make sure you’re on v3.0+ or else you won’t have access
Cheers
Thanks! Are you referring to WP version 3.0 or the theme itself? I am on WP 3.8.1 my Salient theme version is 2.6.5. I just bought it a month ago from Envato (are they selling older versions?). If the theme has to be 3.0 or higher how do I update/get it?
Hey again!
I was referring to the theme – if you need to update you can simply download the theme again from ThemeForest in your downloads tab and you’ll get the latest release (3.15 currently).
After that you can update by deleting the current version you have on your server and uploading the new one. I recommend using FTP, but you can use the WP dashboard if you prefer. You won’t lose any of your content or theme settings so don’t worry about that if you were
Cheers
Hello, Great Theme!
One question. Is there any way to float a logo over the header in the same way you would using an AP DIV in HTML so it would hover above the header and part of the body?
I want a slightly larger logo without extending the header space
Thanks
Hey jcbklyny,
it’s definitely possible if you’re up for tinkering with the css. Here’s a foundation you can paste into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel and modify from there:
header#top #logo img {
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
}
header#top #logo {
min-width: 300px;
height: 10px;
}
Cheers
Thanks,
Is there any other CSS code I have to modify because I set the #logo size (height & width) and it looks good for a second but as soon as the rest of the page loads it defaults back to a much smaller size.
Am I missing something
Well i figured out the problem is the “logo height” in the header options panel. This sets the header height correct? I’m trying to get the header to stay the same size while only adjusting the logo height.
Never mind. I figured it out. Thanks again
Glad to hear & sorry for the long delay – was super focused on getting 4.0 out. Hope you enjoy it!
Hey guys, old question I know, but I just uploaded the newest version of the theme and the recommended CSS you gave me no longer works properly. Anything I’m doing wrong?
Hey, could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can see why that is
hello,
i have a question about your awesome theme and the masonry grid. is it possible (in the nearer future) to have also text elements and videos displayed in the masonry grid? like here: http://www.wolffolins.com/
that will make the theme to the most flexible one i have ever seen =) and then i could use it for many of my clients.
thank you in advance
PS: Or could you give me support to generate such a similar layout? because i have only basic knowledge in css.
Hey white29,
unfortunately this wouldn’t be possible without a good deal of development – the idea to allow videos directly in the layout is on the wishlist already, but I can’t give an ETA on that at this time.
Cheers
Hello. I bought your theme and I really love it. Thanks for such a great work. But I have some trouble with font location on ‘Nectar Slider’. I want to move ‘Heading, Caption and Button’ to more right side. I chose ‘Horizontal Alignment’ to the right side. Is there any way to move those things to more right side?
Thank you.
And one more thing! I put video slider on first page. But this video only plays one time. How can I loop this video clip?
There’s one more thing. How can I put a video link in picture slide? I saw a slider with youtube video link on your page. I want to do the same thing on my page. Thank you.
Hey thomasqna!
1. The horizontal right alightment is going to position all the content within the right side half of the main content container. If you’re looking to go beyond that than it’s just a matter of increasing the containers width. Please enter this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel and modify as needed:
.swiper-slide .container {
max-width: 85%!important;
}
2. The video slider should loop the background infinitely – is there anyway I could grab a URL to see this? Also are you on v3.15 of the theme?
3. You just need to paste your Youtube/Vimeo link into the button URL field and the lightbox will be called automatically
Here’s an example to paste in:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ycv5fNd4AeM
Cheers
Hello. Thank you for nice reply.
2. Here’s My video URLs http://www.morpheus3d.co.kr/wp/kr/files/2014/03/01_1-ipad.m4v http://www.morpheus3d.co.kr/wp/kr/files/2014/03/01_1-quicktime.mov http://www.morpheus3d.co.kr/wp/kr/files/2014/03/01_11.ogvYes. I’m using v3.15
I tried 3. as you told there but it doesn’t work. I pasted in ‘Button Link-Enter a URL here’ and also ‘Button Text- Enter the text for your button here’. Both didn’t work.
Oh and I think for no.3, we had miss communication. I mean I want to put a video in the picture slider. Same as one you done in your example.
Hey again, sorry for the delay!
Regarding #2, it appears you have supplied an m4v for the webm input and a .mov for the mp4 input – can you please try and supply an actual webm & mp4 instead? If you need converters check out
http://video.online-convert.com/convert-to-webm http://video.online-convert.com/convert-to-mp43. So you’re trying to actually embed a player in the slider itself correct? If that’s the case you can use the Home Slider which provides an option for that or if you want to keep using the Nectar Slider you’ll have to paste the youtube iframe embed code into the caption field
Okay. Thank you very much for your help:) I’ll try it and ask you more if there’s more problem:)
Sounds good!
