Great update. I’ve fallen in love, so please take these suggestions with that in mind. Three little items…
1. Minor – Although there was an update the zip name was the same as the previous version.
2. Nectar Slide Feature request. I always spent a lot of time on the slide shows tweaking the text. The Slide Ordering tab is perfectly laid out for reorganizing the slides, but it would be great if we could a .display both Heading and Caption and b. allow us to edit them there.
3. I’ve been coding for a while, but… I missed the fact that there was a combobox where I could select the Slider Location… Maybe others do too? On hd 1920×1080 resolution the combobox is so wide you miss the down arrow. How about using a 50% width? Slider location names should fit easily.
Thanks again. Love Salient!
Hey SteveZL! Thanks for the suggestions and reports 
Cheers!
Awesome theme, thanks. Can you assist with the custom css to change the row background color on hover?
Hey noisehosting! Sure – make sure you have a class name added to the row, supply me a URL and let me know what color you want it to be on hover 
Cheers
Added the class striphover to the first row on the page (will add it to the other rows as well – URL http://clockworkmedia.co.za/clients/pvisionsite/?page_id=1022 – Hover colour #97e2ed – Thank you.
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel 
.wpb_row.striphover {
transition: background-color 0.2s linear;
-webkit-transition: background-color 0.2s linear;
}
.wpb_row.striphover:hover {
background-color: #97e2ed!important;
}
Cheers!
Thank you for the help.
You’re welcome 
hey, i am struggling to get a style like you have on this page ( http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266 ), i want to be able to have colored blocks like you do in colums, can you please help me out with a example?
Hey andrewlhoward,
there’s a dummy data file included which you can import to get all the setups if you desire – also there’s going to be new Youtube tutorials soon for 4.0 features 
the design is created by simply setting your row in visual composer to “full width content” and then setting background colors on each of your columns.
Cheers!
Hy,
I have a problem with fonts end images. The font look strange and load time and i need to scroll to have the font look good. the images at load time are doing something strange, i don’t now how to explain, is better to see for yourself.this happens in firefox
www.specializate.ro | I’l much appreciate any help
Best regards, Bogdan
Hey Bogdan,
I can’t seem to see anything wrong in Firefox/Chrome on load before scrolling. I checked on Windows 7 & Mac – what are you looking on?
Cheers
Hi,
Is it possible to like change the name Salient in WP-admin on left side? To like a client name?
and also in customize when you are previewing the salient theme there is a logo as well?

Hey ItotalAS,
1. Open the file options-init.php located in the nectar/options directory and change these lines to reflect your client name:
$args['menu_title'] = __('Salient', NECTAR_THEME_NAME);
$args['page_title'] = __('Salient', NECTAR_THEME_NAME);
2. Simply replace the screenshot.png image inside of the root of the theme folder for your client logo/image
Cheers 
Thanks!
Another question, in team members section the email you type in description is not clickable, just plain text. any idea here?
I got this
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/smart/public_html/ny/wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/options/options-init.php on line 139
Hey I tried to change back to salient but it stills gets an error and I am having a client meeting within 20min.!!!!!!!
Hey – sorry to hear you ran into issues with it. Unfortunately I was asleep after I answered you. From the sounds of it, you just had a syntax error. If you wanna let me log in to change it for you I’d be happy to or an easy way to restore it to working condition would be to simply replace the file with one from a freshly downloaded version from ThemeForest 
Cheers
Just updated to 4.1 and I seem to have lost my portfolio … tried rebuilding it with shortcodes a few times but no luck … http://www.seanobrien.com.au/media/
Not a plugin conflict, as made no difference if I deactivated all of them.
Hey Sean,
Checking your URL you’re somehow using a very outdated version of the main theme javascript file (init.js). Did you delete the old theme before uploading the release?
Cheers
ahhhhhh perfect! I just reuploaded that file and all working perfectly. Good spot, thanks!
You’re welcome! 
Hello mate, to echo the other comments here… thanks for another brilliant update with ‘Frostwave’
I LOVE the new demo too.
- Is there any way to remove the bottom header line when in transparent mode? I had a little search through the discussion and the support forum & couldn’t find a similar Q&A.
Thanks again, Darrell
I also noticed someone mentioned issues with Safari scrolling, something I experience in Safari 7.0.2 – I’ve made a quick screen recording to show it in action 
Hey Darrell! Glad to hear you love it 
1. Yes, add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
html body #header-outer.transparent[data-transparent-header="true"] {
border: none!important;
}
2. This only occurs when the smooth scrolling option is enabled in the theme options & parallax sections exist – I’m considering disabling that option for Safari all together since it can’t handle it as well as other browsers.
Cheers!
Thanks for the snippet, much appreciated 
In terms of Safari – that makes a lot of sense. I noticed it with smooth scrolling on my own site so disabled it and also with the image animations from time to time. Safari appears to suffer from quite a few little quirks!
Thanks again, D
You’re very welcome!
Cheers 
Hi and thank you for an awesome theme! I have two questions, and I’ve been trying to search both the forum and woocommerce, but have’nt found an answer.
1. I am using woocommerce with the sidebar and it’s currently displaying three product/category images on each row. How can I change it to display four images each row instead? (And the images then of course needs to be a little bit smaller to fit)
2. I can’t seem to find where I can change the woocommerce turqoise/petroleum accent color to my desired color? Could you give me a few pointers where to look?
Hey psoderfjord!
1. Enter this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
html .woocommerce ul.products li.product, html .woocommerce-page ul.products li.product,
html .woocommerce .products.related .product, html .woocommerce .products.upsells .product{
margin-bottom: 2%;
margin-right: 2% !important;
width: 18.4% !important;
}
html .woocommerce .products.related ul.products li.product.last, .woocommerce-page .products.related ul.products li.product.last, .woocommerce-page ul.products li.product.last, .woocommerce ul.products li.product.last {
margin-right: 2% !important;
clear:none!important;
}
html .woocommerce ul.products li:nth-child(5n+5) {
margin-right:0!important;
clear:none!important;
}
html .woocommerce ul.products li:nth-child(6n+6) {
clear:both!important;
}
.woocommerce ul.products li.first, .woocommerce-page ul.products li.first {
clear: none!important;
}
}
2. The colors should reflect what you have set in the theme options > accent color tab. Can you share a URL so I can see why that may not be?
Cheers 
Thank you for such a quick reply!
I added the custom css code, but now the category/product images displays only 2 in a row, and still in the same size. Do I need to regenerate the thumbnails for it to work? Link to my page with example of this:
http://nytt.creativfriskvard.se/produkt-kategori/kinesiologytape-3/kindmax/(I resolved the accent color problem)
No problem!
Sorry the snippet needs to be a bit different when you’re using the sidebar option:
Use this instead: http://pastebin.com/SgWUGTBQ (using pastebin to avoid creating a skyscraper comment
)
Cheers!
Hi again!
I added the snippet, but it seems to be a little bit trickier. The images are now smaller, but are still only displaying 3 in a row.
See here: http://nytt.creativfriskvard.se/produkt-kategori/kinesiologytape-3/kindmax/
Any idea of what I can do?
Thank you!
Hi again,
Just wanted to let you know that I experimented with the right margin percentage, and by setting it to 1% instead of 2% it works like a charm.
Good to hear! 
Anybody else having an issue with the latest update and Page Title (entry-title) for blogs or custom post-types not showing up at all?
Update: Very odd thing is happening. Entry-title actually does show in other responsive screen sizes but just not for this one:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1300px) and (min-width: 1000px)
Hey ehong33234, no reports have come in for that yet, but if you can provide me access to your site I’d be glad to take a look 
Cheers
Private message sent. Thx!
Thank you! 
Silly question: I see you just updated you theme. How do I go about updating it on my site? I want to make sure I don’t somehow, mess things up. 
Hey atplay2! You can update by downloading a fresh copy from ThemeForest, deleting the current version you have on your server and uploading the new. 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 
Thank you.
You’re welcome 
Hi does the shop work for Australia with bank transfers, and can you accept credit card payments from it
Thanks
Hey markuspd,
the shop is entirely powered by WooCommerce as most themes are on ThemeForest – you can confirm it meets all of your requirements by checking out their main site: http://www.woothemes.com/woocommerce/
Cheers 
Hi ThemeNecatar, two questions: 1. is there a way to disable the “Leave a Reply” section in the blog page (generally or per each blog post entry)? 2. Can the buttons and some text strings of the entire theme be easily trasnlated in another language (other than english), without having to mess around with the php-files? eg. the entire blog section as well as other sections of the theme have got english terminology like “Posted by”, “Leave a reply”, “No comments”, etc. Any hint to translate those strings would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hey artedesigner!
1. You can disable comments site wide in Settings > Reading with the ” Allow people to post comments on new articles ” option
2. Yes of course! Just use a plugin like codestyling localization: http://wordpress.org/plugins/codestyling-localization/ 
Cheers!
thanks! 
No problem! 
Hi ThemeNectar, I just installed the plugin you suggested above (codestyling localization) and I got this error messge: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7sawdv318j6ueui/ScreenShot244.jpg What can or should I do about it? Thank you!
Hey again! You don’t need to do anything about it, it’s just a warning (the same warning coming from some of your plugins as well).
Cheers 
Hi again, thanks for your quick reply, really appreciate your fanstastic support! I would like to completely remove the part highlighted in the printscreen attached. Could you please tell me, which php-files to modify for this? I dropped the codestyling localization plugin, cause it was slowing my site down. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16957693/remove%20blog%20information.jpg
Thank you!
You’re very welcome!
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.meta-comment-count, .meta-author {
display: none!important;
}
Is there any possible way to add a Google Adsense code where the 2nd menu is? if you take a look at EverythingDriven.com there is a nice size gap between the Search magnifying glass and the logo. I would like to add a google adsense logo there.
Hey yeaitsedgar,
it’s possible but you’d need to add the code to call the ad directly into the header.php file and then probably position it via CSS 
hello what font is that on the home page the bold font
Hey plummerforcongress! The font is “lovelo”.
Cheers
I cannot understand, if I am sharing www.idmtl.com on facebook, I still have some “Phasellus enim libero, blandit vel sapien vitae, condimentum ultricies magna et. Quisque euismod orci ut et lobortis aliquam. Aliquam in tortor enim.” that appear. where to change that ?? My main page does not have that !
Hey thecrazyblueman, when I share your URL I’m seeing “Expliquez votre design ou votre idée en 60 secondes dans le but de susciter l’intérêt des gens à se joindre à votre équipe.” Are you still having this issue?
Hi Nectar, your theme is awesome, I love it
Just one question: I’m using the “zoom effect on hover” for all my portfolio items, Is it posible to hide the “title overlaid + date” from the thumbnail? I only want to see the image with the zoom effect.
thx in advance
Thanks javiwee!
Yes, just add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
.portfolio-items .work-item.style-3 .vert-center {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers 
It works, great 
Now there is only a small dark opacity before hover, Is is posible to change this opacity or hide it so that i can see the full color everytime?
Add this as well 
.portfolio-items .col .work-item.style-3 .work-info-bg {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
wow great, just what I wanted, thx for the support 
You’re very welcome! 
Hi! On my portfolio page: http://iwork3.us/portfolio/ it used to be when i hovered over each img, it will turn to my accent color.
Now it has taken salient’s accent color (teal) as its own. Any clues?
Any help would be great! This theme and your constant updates is totally out of this world! I’m constantly having a headache because of thinking of new things to add and new ways to do things.
Thanks
Thanks meic01! 
It appears your template is missing one of the new attributes in 4.0 – can you ensure you have the latest template-portfolio.php file in your setup & that you don’t have a child theme overwriting it?
Cheers
i have the new updates – even up to 4.0.1. i dont have a child theme. all changes made directly to the editor. but even that doesn’t have any portfolio changes that deals with the hover. what gives?
oddly enough, it works fine where it’s called upon as a “recent projects” or portfolio display elsewhere. just NOT on the actual portfolio page.
Yeah the template-portfolio.php just appears to be from an older version – when you updated did you delete the old theme completely before uploading the new one?
i deleted the entire theme and reuploaded the new version. now the entire portfolio page is empty
Now I’m seeing a syntax error from some google analytics code you apparently have in the main content on that page:
SyntaxError: syntax error nt,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
If you wanna allow me to log in i’d be glad to see what’s going on for you 
Cheers
Just needed to reassign the portfolio page template 
Cheers!
Thank you so much!
Not sure what reassigning the page template means, but can you share what you did so that I (or other clueless people like me who run into this problem) will know what to do in the future – if and when something similar like this happens.
thank you again! (can i say i love you? how about i like you very10 much :D)
oh, and was the syntax error fixed? or is it something i need to look into? thanks!
nvm. i figured it out. THANK YOU so very much, once again.
Sorry for the delay & glad to hear you sorted it! 
Cheers meic01!
.nectar-button { background-color: #ec4350;}
which works fine but I’m not sure if it’s a bug or I missed something 
Cheers!
Hey Poloplayer! Are you experiencing this for all elements or just a nectar button? If it’s only occurring on the CTA button then this is a known issue 
Cheers
Hi Theme Nectar
Hi and how are you doing? Our site is nearly ready.
I have three questions:
1. On the homepage we have three portfolio items, and each is linked to a specific product page. http://www.mmevelo.com when I hoover over the portfolio item, darken cover appears with a light title of the portfolio on in the middle of the item. How to have more text on the portfolio image when I hoover over it? Like on this page http://functionals.eu/ here you see three square portfolio items, with text, price, item title, and read more.Also, I am trying to make those three portoflio items on the home page to be squares, right now they are rectangles, nearly squares, but not completely. How to make them squares?
2. For one of the pages of the site, the about page, I need a smaller font, like H7. What should I do to be able to include h7 fonts?
3. the product page. How to make the main product image appear bigger? I changed the main image size in the woocommerce options, into as big as1000×1050, but it did not change the size of the image of the product on the product page. http://www.mmevelo.com/produkt/plecak-rowerowy-mmevelo-sunshine/
Thank you for your help
best wishes
Your theme is awesomeness M.
Hey New_Castle!
1. Currently there’s only an option to add some additional text by using the “Project Excerpt” option in your project configuration box (added in v.4). Adding additional items other than that would require some custom development. Also if you wish for your images to display in a custom size you could alter the image size in the functions.php at
add_image_size( 'portfolio-thumb', 600, 403, true );and then regenerate your thumbnails http://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/
2. h7 doesn’t exist but you could create a class such as “small-text” and then add that your desired text through the text tab on your editor.
<span class="small-text">Here's some small text!</span>
and then add this into the custom css box in your salient options panel:
.small-text {
font-size: 10px!important;
}
3. You’ll need to change the size of the column on the left and the product image column. Since you have the left column showing at 50% the biggest you can have the image is 50%:
.single-product-main-image {
width: 50%!important;
margin: 0!important;
}
Cheers 
Dear Theme Nectar
Thank you for your help.
I changed the size of the image column with success. Can you tell me one more thing: How to move the image a little bit higher than it is now? So that the main image on the product page is higher, now it looks like there is this margin from the top. http://www.mmevelo.com/produkt/torba-damska/I have not created the class for the small text yet, But I will start on Thursday.
Fot the Poertfolio image, I have a question. I changed the size of the image to a square one with success, but the functions.php file is in the main theme, not in the child theme. So I am afraid, that if I update the theme to the new version, it will override the changed settings. I have created the child theme, should I just copy the file functions.php and just copy it to the child theme folder on the server?
Thank you
Best wishes
M.
Hey again!
1. The top of the image is actually aligned with the heading text, it seems the image you’ve uploaded just had a good amount of blank space at the top/bottom: http://www.mmevelo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/tur-wiek.png
2. That will actually cause a lot of problems, the child functions.php should only add to the parent functions.php – if you make it an entire duplicate file it’ll probably just break the site. For now it would be best to keep track of that specific mod for updates to reapply since it’s just one line to change.
Cheers 
Thank you!
You’re welcome! 
Is there a way to have the global / top navigation link to a section of the same page? Said another way, can the global navigation make the page scroll down via anchors / anchor tags?
I’m wondering if this template can support a single page scrolling site.
Hey atplay2,
yes through the use of this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/page-scroll-to-id/
Cheers 
You guys rock.
Aww… I might be reading things wrong, but I think the use of the plug-in is beyond my capabilities. :/
Here’s a little guide on using it – it’s really not so bad!
You just need to add anchor links from your menu items. So for example, ”#about” could be entered into a link: http://i.imgur.com/XUvsNXj.png and then it would correlate with the section on your page where you have:
<div id="about"> </div>
(which gets added through the text tab of course).
Finally, in the plugin settings there’s an input that says “selectors”. Add this inside of it:
a[href*='#']
This might be too complicated for me. I’m “just” the Creative Director.
Or maybe I just need to sleep for a second. 
Let me know if the sleep helped 
Haha. It didn’t help. I gave up. :/
Sorry to hear! If you need this implemented for you I’m sure it could be done very quickly and for little money at envato studio 
Cheers
That might be a viable option! Hehe. I didn’t even know there was an “envato studio”!
Yes, it used to be called microlancer – but it’s been around almost a year now 
I reviewed that plugin and it’s instructions. The installation and application above my understanding. That said, I may be out of luck. Are their plans to add such a feature as an option to this template in the future?
Also, do you have another theme that is a single scrolling page that is based off of the same CMS structure? I’m starting to realize that I may not have enough content to for multiple pages.
Unfortunately Salient is the only theme so far, but integrating single page scrolling further is on the wishlist
