Hey guys! Just to keep you all updated – the release you’ve been waiting for is due out later today. I initially intended on having it up for Monday morning but there just wasn’t enough hours in the day to put the final touches on everything!
Be sure to check back later tonight/tomorrow morning for the unveiling 
Cheers
Hi there,
is there a way to remove the header and menu area? effectively a blank page. so no logo and no menu?
Many thanks.
Hey Drog!
Yes, just enter this into the css box on the page you desire that functionality:
#header-outer, #header-space {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
Hello. My Sailent theme options in the admin menu seem not to work properly. There’s a message:
Settings have changed, you should save them! error(s) were found! warning(s) were found!
All the sections are on one screen and Upload buttons don’t respond when clicked. I can’t upload logo, favicon etc. Something seems to be wrong. How to fix it?
I’m using the newest version of WP – 3.8.1
so, where’s the solution?
Hey milioncolours,
I would need to log in to see what the issue is – can you please open a quick support ticket with your admin credentials so I can see what’s going on? Please paste your ticket id here once you’ve done that
Cheers

You’re welcome
hi awesome theme, really amazing stuff!!!!! i would like to change the color of the mobile dropdown menu, right now is blackish i want it to be white instead. thx

Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
#mobile-menu {
background-color: #FFFFFF!important;
}
#mobile-menu ul li a {
border-bottom: 1px dotted rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2)!important;
color: #000000 !important;
}

Hi,
Very nice looking theme! I have a few questions please:
1. I want to show my portfolio’s images vertically – one after another – very simple yet effective design. You can see an example of what I mean on this page: http://theyoungrens.com/portfolio/jeff-kelsey-wedding I can see that it’s somehow possible with your theme, by this page: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio/blackbox/ It’s also very nice that I can add a video and other text/shortcuts on top of it!
However, as seen on my above example, the idea is to have portfolio items with many images, probably 50+ per item. So, a bulk images upload feature is critical for me. Does your theme support that – for portfolio items? or do I have to add images one-by-one as I’ve seen on some other themes unfortunately?
Please note that I’m talking about portfolio items, not just the default “wordpress gallery” that can be add inside any simple blog post/page – because this is not the same and doesn’t have the same features as a “portfolio”..
2. Is it possible to built a custom homepage that will include the cool slider from your demo site, and then when scrolling down will have the complete portfolio page (not just the most recent), with the filter as seen on this page: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio-alternative-style/ ?
3. Just wondering, is it possible to have a “related projects” at the end of the portfolio, that will show random projects from the same category?
Anyway my first question about the bulk upload/add of images is obviously the most important to me because without it even the most beautiful theme is useless…
Thanks!
(still waiting for your official answer just to be sure, and also for my other questions…)
Thanks again for this great looking theme!
Hi again, After viewing some more video tutorials I’ve decided to buy this theme without waiting for your answers, as it seems that this is the most “complete” and professionally-made theme I’ve ever seen.
Thanks
Hey omriamos! Sorry for the delay while I was wrapping up the major release
1. You actually can use the image gallery element via the page builder in 4.0 to add portfolios in a bulk upload – you would just need some css to make them go into one column.
2. Yes of course! You can mix and match any elements you feel like on any page.
3. Not automatically without manually adding the recent projects elements at the bottom of each page or by adding that into the template file itself.
Cheers
Howdy guys,
For the life of me, I can’t find or orchestrate the custom css that will allow me to give my WooCommerce side widgets like a 10px padding and a background #ededee together with a 1px border #777777.
It doesn’t seem to matter what I put into it, it just doesn’t override what is being displayed already??
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
Cheers Dan
Hey Dan,
If this doesn’t work in the custom css box of your theme options panel please allow me to see your URL so I can assist more
.woocommerce #sidebar > div {
padding: 10px!important;
background-color: #ededee!important;
border: 1px solid #777777!important;
}
Cheers!
Fantastic theme!!!! 
Thanks so much juanmita! I hope you like the new version too 
Hey ThemeNectar, I’ve been working on my website with your theme and it’s incredible! Just a couple things I’d love to ask:
1. I’m trying to use the full-width masonry blog style here (http://www.neverhome.com/blog-2/) but there is quite a large gap between the two posts I’ve got there.
2. I’ve got a large fan base on Instagram that hashtag pictures to me, I was wondering that instead of manually inserting these hashtagged photo’s, there is a way to have an automatic feed adding to my portfolio on the homepage? (http://www.neverhome.com/)
3. Is there anyway to insert a subscribe to newsletter button on the top nav bar? If not then in the footer or wherever?
Cheers!
That’s great to hear neverhome!
1. You just need to update your theme version – what you’re seeing is actually a bug that came with Chrome 33 and v 3.15 of the theme sorted that
2. It is most likely possible through the use of plugin but unfortunately there’s nothing built directly into Salient to assist with this.
3. Adding it to the top nav would take some modding to the header.php file however adding one through a widget in the footer would be easy. Have you tried to use any newletter plugins yet in regards?
Cheers
hi there fantastic theme!!!!! one question, is a sticky Header also possible on mobile devices? best regards!
Thanks walter_sihga!
It is with a some custom css I could provide if you needed it
Cheers
I try to install the theme as you said, directly from Wordpress and from Filezilla. It seems theme is installed but It doesn´t work cause some css styles are missing: They say ” the following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template. Name Description salient Stylesheet is missing.”
I uploaded the ” salient.zip ” not the download folder.zip thanks for your help
Hey tcr48,
When you upload via FTP you can’t upload the .zip – you must unzip the salient.zip and upload the actually Salient folder. Please let me know if you’re still having issues with this & I apologize for the delay
Cheers
Yah I know that. I did it and it doesn´t work. Please I would like to use my template as soon as possible
Hey again,
If you’re sure you’re uploading the correct zip, take a second to open it and ensure the style.css is indeed there because a version has never been released without it.
I am interested in having the logo centered on top with the links centered under, can you provide the css as mentioned 16 comments earlier.
Hey royal! 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;
}
Cheers
Hi! How to change scroll color? (smooth-scrolling)
Hey attam! Sorry for the delay (was wrapping up v4.0)
You can change that color by opening the init.js file located in the js folder and searching for “function niceScrollInit()” to end up at the right place
Let me know if you need any more assistance!
Thank you. everything turned:)
Cheers
Please come up with the infinite scroll with masonary blog in the next update. Or can any plugin such as jetpack can do the infinite scroll?
Hey ihpalash, currently it would take custom development but it is an item on the wishlist that will eventually make its way in
Hi! Is there any shortcode for a single image? Tks!
Hey elale82!
You can use the “Add Media” Button next to the shortcode generator to place an image where you need or alternately use the single image element in the page builder
Cheers
Best theme I’ve purchased so far, the Nectar slider alone is so fun and easy to use 5 stars
Thanks so much zenako!
Is it possible for the blog side bar to be 300px wide for 300×250 banners?
Thanks!
Hey orcawest! The proper way to go about this would be to make your ad responsive to accommodate the responsive layout in the blog. If you’ve never looking into this before here’s a good place to start: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/3213689?hl=en
Cheers
Hi,
I was wondering if it would be possible to have the blog configured so that the featured image would be displayed at the top with parallax effect and the title of the blogpost would be in the middle of the image. Seems to me this would look way awesome but unless this can be done automatically it seems like a lot of work.
Thanks
Hey fransanchezoria! Something similar is coming in the next update
Cheers
Hi there! I’d love to purchase this theme, but was wondering if you had any insight for using it as for a tourism website? I’d need to use a reservation plugin with woocommerce (or another compatible checkout) and have it all work and be easily manageable. Please let me know your thoughts and if you have any recommendations for how to accomplish this. Thanks!
Hey jbot6000!
Salient doesn’t modify the output of WooCommerce too much so I can’t see why it would be an issue but I can’t say for sure since I haven’t tested with the plugin you’re looking for. If you go with Salient and encounter any issues just let me know and I’ll see what I can do
Cheers
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;
}
}
