Hi Theme Nectar,
Hope you are doing well.
I had a query regarding sharing blog posts, I am using the built in shortcodes (which are great). However, when I share my blog on fb it looks like this:
Mar200”title” Posted by “username”| Internet, Privacy| No Comments0If
any ideas? if you need to take a look then you may get my site details from my closed ticket ”#173455”. The post I am talking about is currently “pending review”
Thank you in advance.
Hey 312Media!
Does this happen when actually pasting your URL into Facebook in a post or when clicking the Facebook sharing button at the top of every post?
Hello my friend, it happens when clicking the share button
Does it happen when you actually publish the post as well? Checking both of your live posts I can’t see any incorrect formatting of the title.
no it only happens when it is shared using the share button short code for facebook (please remove the URL from your last reply) I have published the post on the site so you may share it and see if it helps
I see what the issue is now – I didn’t know you were trying to use them on the main posts page. They are only designed to share the current URL so all of them will share the main blog page in your use case instead of the single post data. You should keep them on the single page by turning on the auto except option in the blog options tab of the Salient options panel 
Ah ok, thanks, I will give that a shot! Thank you for your quick response and your help.
Worked perfectly thanks again.
You’re welcome
ETA on new version please bud?
About a week
@samueloh
It is possible to edit this in the php. The file you are looking for that generates the code is in thenectar/tinymce/folder and is called:
shortcode-processing.php
The code for recent projects starts on line 1608. You could add an extra attribute for hover color for example and add that code to the
<div class="work-info-bg" />line. If you want this option to reflect back into the visual editor and the shortcode generator then you should als edit the following file:
nectar/nectar-vc-addons/nectar-addons.phpand edit the recent project code there to reflect back into the code.
If you need help you could always open a ticket on http://themenectar.ticksy.com

Hi, I think I might be experiencing a bug. While working in the “classic editor” I clicked the “Nector Shortcodes” button. The new window opened but all of the Shortcodes are displayed vertically right away, the drop-down menu to select them is no longer present. Clicking the text of an option is not selecting it and is prevent the use of the Shortcodes.
Here is a screenshot: http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=653f8e8Thanks
Hey jeffdesignsca!
Are you on the latest Salient release & is your WooCommerce updated if you’re using that plugin as well?
Cheers
Yes, I was running the latest version of Salient. I hadn’t updated the plugins though and after doing so the problem was corrected. Thanks a lot for the quick reply and suggestion!
You’re very welcome!
Cheers
Hi~ How do i make recent posts’ title to be like a news ticker at home page? I want it shows like: “Blog Title – date” (without image, post info), and it can be linking to the blog page to read more.
Hey saggimo,
This would take some custom modding to the shortcode-processing.php file which is located in the nectar/tinymce directory.
Just search for ”//recent posts” to end up at the right place
hi ThemeNectar ,,, i need to add more template in option for page .. its blank without header or footer .. my plan is to show only slideshow .. kind like intro before entrance to the website is it possible ?
Hey Wongsamar!
If this page is going to be your home page it can be done all with css. Just add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.home #header-outer, .home #header-space, .home #footer-outer {
display: none!important;
}
Hi ThemeNectar,
Is it possible to keep the upper part of the page (from top to the end of the slider) and just place a simple grid (with WooCommerce) of products below that without any text or information (just pictures) like this Big Cartel shop did: http://tinyurl.com/oaaycv4
Thank you in advance
Hey PixellBox!
You can hide the text underneath each product by adding this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
ul.products li.product > a {
display: none!important;
}
After you do that simply create a new page with a Nectar Slider element on top and place the WooCommerce shortcode underneath to display the products
It seems that the video gallery plugin which is sold on code canyon by Zoomit doesn’t work with your theme!? Please help!
Hey brecampus,
I would need you to open a private ticket in regards with your log in information so I can see what’s wrong. Please be as descriptive as possible as to what doesn’t work in the ticket as well
Cheers
I apologize for being the 1000th person who asks help with the Nectar slider end image dimensions. I have tried virtually anything with different sizes and so on.
I just cannot get it right. I reverted to 2000×800 px, set the correct height, but I see the most curious cropping (predominantly height) which makes the slider unusable. The home slider is not doing better.
(march 19, site under construction http://marcosimons.nl )
Hey marcosimons,
Firstly – The Home Slider does not scale the background image down proportionally (it opts to keep the height taller on mobile devices to make room for the caption content) so you should rule that one out and stick with the Nectar Slider.
The images in the Nectar Slider make use of the css property “cover” for the background size. Here’s the description for that “Scale the background image to be as large as possible so that the background area is completely covered by the background image. Some parts of the background image may not be in view within the background positioning area”. This means that small amounts of clipping will occur depending on the screen viewed on – checking your URL I can’t see cropping from the top/bottom of the image, but can see the edges getting clipped slightly on mobile views.
In the next update there’s going to be a new option in the Nectar Slider to scale the slider to fit every screen size perfectly (which will be useful for people who like to include images with text embedded in the image itself). So I would recommend sitting tight for the next week until that’s released if you can’t create your images with the small amount of clipping that occurs in mind.
Cheers
Thnx for the reply, I will sit tight until next week, I appreciate that!
However, on your demo site it is almost perfect, I could live with that.. If I resize the browser with my images, it jumps.
Anyqay, looking forward to next week thnx !!
The video backgrounds supplied are much taller so they scale more freely but also get clipped harsher, however if you take a look at the third slide on the landing page ( http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/spacebound.jpg ) you’ll see the behavior is similar to yours since the height for the image is close to the same as the sliders height.
Glad you’re looking forward & can wait until the next release!
Let’s work hard an be patient until next week BUT…
I am convinced that I and many others do something WRONG with the settings. Your 3rd image in your demo is so much better! II would be so happy with that. Try scaling the browser (width) using your demo and my site with your picture as the third slide. The behavior is completely different!
If I make the screen very wide (up to 6000 px) on the demo site the picture stays in proportion and sticks to the left. On my site and – for example http://love.jurlique.com/au/a/ – the image is weirdly stretched and highly affected in height as well, you can see the adjustments jump when resizing, which is less the case in your demo!
The main difference I can see is that I have the background position set to center: http://i.imgur.com/NYgZm1m.png try changing yours to that as well
I’m sitting tight ths week… when is the next release coming with the improved Nectar slider? Can’t wait!
Hey again marc!
This release is still targeted to release this week – most likely Sunday. Shoot me an email real quick at themenectar@gmail.com if you’re interested in beta testing
Did you receive my mail? From marco@marcosimons.nl
Sorry for the delay writing back – the release is out now!
Thnx! Sorry I had not enough time for helping out with the beta! I just installed it, will find out the new feateres later! What is the best image size for the Nectar slider in this release? I have already found the extended responsive option!
No worries!
The option you’ve been waiting for the is called “flexible height” – toggle that on in each of your nectar sliders you desire to scale perfectly and you should be good
Ok… fixed, I think. I hope this helps other useres as well.
Symptom: my Nectar slider image just did not resize or behave like the Salient demo does.
I tried: different settings, images, etc. Nothing did work, upgraded to the latest version (thnx ! looks good) but with no effect on the slider.
Solution: I just deleted the Nectar slider in the visual composer and added it again on the page. Used no settings. And immediately the behaviour of the image changed, it resizes!! So now I can move on. Not sure what happenend, but removal and put it back (visual composer) really changed a lot.
Hey again marco! That’s odd that it took that, but I’m glad you’ve sorted it out now
Cheers
Wow! I just installed the latest update and noticed that the Nectar slider behaves even better, THNX!!
You’re very welcome
We’ve been playing around with the theme and it definitely has some great features! One question that we have about the “Recent Projects” short code is:
Is there a way to change the color on hover? The color always seems to go to the “Accent-Color”, but we would like it to be “Extra-Color-2”. Is there a way to configure this at all either through the admin panel or via. PHP code?
Also, is there any other way to add for example, an “Extra-Color-4, Extra-Color-5” etc?
Hey samueloh!
1. If you can share your URL to the page that contains the recent projects carousel I’ll gladly give you the needed CSS to make it the second accent color.
2. You could through custom development, but as of now only 4 colors can be defined for the quick access color scheme.
Cheers
Hello ThemeNector,
I Installed the Dummy data, After i change the permalink from “Default” to “Post name” or “Custom Structure” I get “404 Not Found, The requested URL/ was not found on this server.”
Should i install the dummy data after changing the permalink? Or any other solution to solve this issue? I tried extending the limit too.
Thanks and Regards
IG Pradeep
Or is it because I’m using it in Localhost?
Hey elitefox! You’re fine to use localhost – but is your setup able to use custom permalink structures? i.e. can you use a custom structure on another theme and have it work?
Yes, I use it as / postname / and on another theme its working…
That’s strange – there’s definitely no known issues like that. Does the entire site go to 404 or just specific pages?
Just the Specific Page
Which specific pages are yielding the 404 in your setup?
Hi Nectar, Is there any way to put a semi transparent box behind the heading on the nectar slider? Change the box color on heading and captions? Thanks!
Hey powerhound!
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.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);
line-height: 45px;
}
If you wanted to change the color of the transparent BG you’d have to change all the rgba values in the above snippet to your desired value and then also these:
.swiper-slide .content p.transparent-bg span {
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);
}
Cheers!
Just want to say thank you for all your support. Your work & help here is amasing. I have never experienced such quality help on other themes I bought here. My site is going online on friday, was fun working things out with you. Cheers.
Thanks so much royaltask, that really means a lot!
Cheers & good luck with the launch!
Hi! Here are some questions i can’t find the solutions:
1.How do i show the recent posts’ images and titles only in the home page? I want to remove post excerpts, post info and the “recent posts/ view all posts” title.
2.Is the recent post’s image can be cropped into particular size by css without making images fitting?
3.Is there anyway to make the whole site into Bilingual and it can be easily switch at the land page?
Hope that i can move on to the next stage of my site, thank you!
Hey saggimo!
1. If you can share your URL to the page that has the recent posts I’ll gladly assist with the css
2. This is a feature that will become standard in the upcoming update – please sit tight!
3. Yes – I would recommend you check out the WPML plugin since that’s been tested the most with the theme.
Cheers!
Thanks for the reply!
I’ll mix question 1. and 2 together: Here’s the URL: http://wp.motif.com.tw/ It does’t really have to make the images cropped, i want to adjust the size of each post’s image and post’s title like this: http://ppt.cc/WLTO How can i do it?
I am still considering to buy the WPML. I’m now testing from a free version: http://wordpress.org/plugins/multilingual-press/ Does your template can be use with this? And it seems multilingual plug-in only works in a multisite installation, how do i install it?
Sorry, about the multilingual sites i have another question: If i use WPML plug-in, it seems i have to build another sites in another language but use the same theme. Is it OK about the license issue?
Hey again saggimo,
1. Add this into the custom css box in your theme options panel to remove the meta data:
.meta-author, .meta-category, .meta-comment-count {
display: block;
}
as for removing the excerpt – please open a ticket in the forum so I can log in and assist further.
2. You’re fine as far as licensing is concerned by using WPML & I have not tested with http://wordpress.org/plugins/multilingual-press/ but if you encounter any issues just let me know.
Cheers
My apologies if this has been asked but is it possible to integrate instagram in an image carousel? If so is it also possible to select which images that you’d like displayed in it?
If none of this is possible May it be added to the wish list for a future update?
This would be rad!
Thanks Phectar!

Hey again CS!
Unfortunately this isn’t possible yet – but I will indeed note it for the wishlist

Hey Nectar,
I am trying to create a gallery in a portfolio item, but there seems to be a bug or something. I can’t use the left/right arrows to slide through the images (they slide on their own). Is there settings that control that gallery option? Link to the port item below:
http://ndgocreative.com/portfolio/new/Best,
Ray
Hey Ray,
I just checked in Chrome/Firefox/IE and am indeed able to use both the next/prev buttons on your gallery. What browser are you using? Also, are you having trouble clicking those buttons here as well? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/dining/porttitor-porttitor-mollis-vitae-placerat/
Cheers
I am using Chrome on Windows 8. I actually am not able to use the buttons on the link provided..wonder what’s going on lol.
Its working on IE for me though, strange.
I was checking on Windows 7 before and Mac now (latest Chrome on both) and still can’t replicate. I’ll get my hands on a windows 8 machine tomorrow and let you know
Nectar slider not wotking with Safari….is this a common problem?
Hey crdesign1, no – I would need a URL to see what the issue is though. Also I would check my response to dsnfanatic as well
thank you for your quick reply
this is the front page with nectar slider wich does not work on safari browser.
http://onairmusicawards.ro/crdesign/No problem!
It seems your mp4 is corrupt or not correctly encoded for the web: http://onairmusicawards.ro/crdesign/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/GENERIC-OAMA-2014-website.mp4 if you try pasting that directly into Safari you’ll see that it can’t load right. Compare that to an mp4 off the live demo: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/one_more_new_1.mp4
Please refer to the “Troubleshooting Video Backgrounds” section of the user guide for help with this
Hi,
Nectar slider works great ( IE and CHROME), except not firefox.
Is this a common problem?
Hey dsnfanatic, are you using video backgrounds? If so – have you read through the “Troubleshooting Video Backgrounds” section of the user guide http://themenectar.com/docs/salient.pdf ?
If that’s not the case please share your URL so I can see
Hi i send you a message, i seem to miss a lot of options in the pagebuilder.
Could you take a look.
Thanks, Thomas
Never mind i found it
Glad to hear Thomas
Hi,
Does Salient support Multilingual? Such as the WPML?
Thank you.
Hey Lessard_Design, yes WPML should work fine
