Just a quick question. I am using the ‘Landing Page’ as my Home. Under the testimonial box, i have chosen a background image however wanted to put a black background with around 70% opacity so see the white text.
This functionality however does not seem to be working.. Can someone please confirm?
Hey again Andy,
The background would have to be on the row holding the testimonial slider and the background color with 70% opacity would need to be on the column holding the testimonial slider – if you can share your URL I’d be glad to look into this for you 
Okay.
So here is a link to my website – http://andypluslam.com.au/
I have figured out the opacity thing asked earlier however the problem now is why the background is not full white, as per the logos?
If you look closely, the logo backgrounds and the background of that section are two different tones. This wont changed despite me setting the background at #fffff
Thanks,
Andy.
Hey again! Can you let me know exactly where on your site you’re referring to with the white issue? The client slider I see on your home page linked shows up completely white for me at the moment.
Hey! Can someone please put me in the right direction to get the cool video backgrounds like the one in the demo here;
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/home-portfolio-eye-candy/Thanks,
Andy.
Hey Andy!
I’m not sure if you’re looking for the sources of the videos used or are wondering how to add a video BG section yourself.
For the sources please see the Dummy Data section of the user guide and for actually using them please check out this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLU9Pxo_RD8
Cheers 
Hi!
Thanks for the reply. I have already set up most of the website so i suppose using the dummy content now would replace all the work i have done.
To conclude, I just wanted the video used on the link here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/home-portfolio-eye-candy/ to be the same on my page for the about us: http://andypluslam.com.au/about-us/
How can i get the same source of the videos?
Cheers,
Andy!
Hey again Andy! It seems your site is password protected – can you let me know what the password is so I can check the page really quick? 
Woops, i totally forgot! saab12
Thanks 
So are you simply wondering how to make a video background? (the tutorial I linked earlier covers that) Or are you just looking for the exact video I used in that background so you can buy it yourself?
Yep, Don’t worry! I figured this out 
Glad to hear! 
Hi Theme Nectar,
Is it possible to have the whole header be under my nectar slider with a functional sticky header, but only for the home page? see snickers website as an example here… http://www.snickers.com
thank you
Hey again PairDesigners!
Unfortunately this is not a standard feature and having the header stick after scrolling by it under the slider would require custom javascript development.
Hello,
One last question, My menu links & search icon somehow got moved over a bit to the left. It almost looks like the header table size was changed. Can you give me a css to reset the header links so that they are aligned to the far right please?
Hey jcbklyny! I would need to see your URL in order to find out what’s causing that for you and help sort it 
Hey again 
This is happening because of the css you have on your logo – enter this into the custom css box in your theme options panel to sort it out:
header#top .span_9 {
width: 100%!important;
}
Cheers
Hi. Me again!
I have three questions now…
First: How can i completely align my text at Nectar Slider fully right? The Align options seems to be just to simulate 3 columns but just with text alignment to the left. Is there a way to do that?
Second: Can i customize the distance between text lines? Where?
Third: How can i convert a Row into Full Width SECTION at visual composer? Or, how can i add a Full Width SECTION on visual composer mode?
Thanks by the way! 
Hey again Fred!
1. Yes, add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.swiper-slide[data-x-pos="right"] .content {
text-align: right!important;
}
2. And this:
@media only screen and (min-width : 1000px) {
.swiper-slide .content p {
line-height: 44px!important;
}
}
3. The row type in VC will allow you to change between full width content / background ( full width background is the same as the full width section shortcode)
Cheers 
Thanks! 
You’re welcome! 
pre-purchase Q:
in the homepage http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/, I see 6 elements below the slider, can we add more on that section? we want to make it 9 or so..
Thanks very nice theme and planning to buy
Hey cre8tiveph! Yes, you’re free to add as many as you need 
All of the demo pages are merely examples and can be customized to suit your needs.
Cheers!
Hi there,
how do you create the three column multicolored section as seen on your demo ‘landing page’ (toward the bottom before the services and after the logo slider)? You seem to have provided a different demo in the download package compared to what’s online.
Cheers Andy
Hey Andy,
There’s two sets of dummy data included as of 4.0 – one for each demo. If you imported the all purpose set instead of the modern creative then that would explain why it’s missing (also could be a matter of you importing the dummy data before 4.0 was released and this feature was added)
Assuming you’re on 4.0 you can create the columns by simply changing the row to Full Width Content and then editing each column to have the background color you want with the padding you need (the demo uses 5% for padding).
Cheers 
thanks for getting back to me so quickly. It would appear that I did install the all purpose version although I confess I didnt see the creative one. sigh! still ill give it a shot.
Im really impressed with the theme by the way. I only have one minor irritation in that it takes a long time for support to get back. Sometimes its over two days. I know the challenges you must have and keeping good support service going whilst not spending a fortune on wages but if theres anyway it can be reduced I would be really grateful. Theres nothing more frustrating than asking a question then getting only half an answer and then waiting another two days to get the other half.
Im really NOT complaining but in your plans for world theme domination you could look at this issue I would be most grateful.
Other than that minor gripe….. I LOVE THIS THEME!!!!
All the best Andy
Hey again Andy!
Glad you found the reason for the issue 
Thanks for the feedback as well – we are doing are best to answer tickets as quickly as possible but in some cases (like in the event of major releases) the queue can be longer than average with the increased number of tickets coming in.
Cheers!
Hi, what happen if we use a secondary menu, it will be also transparent?, do you have a demo of this with both menu?
Hey mzuker!
No, it will remain its chosen color however if you also wanted it to be transparent it could easily be accomplished through css so let me know if that’s the case and if you need help 
Cheers
Hallo Theme Nectar 
I have problems with the site after updating the theme to the newest version. Nothing really works.
the front, pages, woocommrce, and there is also this error:
Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function ‘woocommerce_reset_loop’ not found or invalid function name in /home/lukaszjankjn/ftp/mmevelo/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 507
I would love to be able to update the theme.
I need to bring the old file from backup
Please help, what is happening? We use child theme.
I removed all the salient theme files from the server and uploaded the new ones.
Best wishes M
Hey New_Castle!
Have you also checked to ensure your WooComerce is up to date and no other plugins are causing the issue?
Hey Theme Nectar 
I am not sure what is going on, we have a few changes done to the Child theme, and when I updated, I deleted all the files from the parent theme, and uploaded the new files.
I will try the latest version of the theme today, and see what is happening.
Meanwhile, I have a question.
The portfolio page. How to have the masonry style portfolio page, but the images act a bit differntly. When a person click on a particular image, it enlarges, instead of opening the portfolio page?
Thank you, the new version is great, I hope we can uptade. M. :
One more thing: (I am having questions, but we are close to finishing the site)
The upper, black menu: How to have it extend wider than the standard white main menu? For example, on the shop page, the products’ row is wider than the width of the menus and footer. How to have the dark menu (with contact and language switcher) as wide as the page nearly? How can I monitor the width of the dark menu? (By this I mean the point where the items in the menu start from the right)
2. I know that somebody has already asked for it, I saw it somewhere. How to have a specific item from the dark menu in color, all the time different color than the rest? I would like to have the language switcher in yello, permanently the shopping bag? (we have the shopping bag icon in the black menu.
Thank you! M.
Theme Nectar: I have solved the portfolio issue from my first message after your response, to have the portfolio images open as an image rather than leading to a portfolio page.
Hey again, glad to hear you’ve solved the portfolio issue!
1. I can assist in making the top menu wider via css if you can supply me your URL
2. You need to make a css rule using the specific menu id you need (which can be found by viewing the page source) Again if you need assistance with this all I would need is your URL 
Cheers
Hey 
Let’s leave this menus issue for now. Not a priority. I updated Wordpress and the logo behaves in a strange way. When I open a page, it is normal. But when I scroll down, the logo shows up twice, one above the other. How to remove it?
I have the previous theme version as updating changes the way woocommerce product page looks like. (how is this possible?)
Thank you! M.
to add some lines of text, prize, just like on the product images from functionals.eu homepage.
we wanted to have it done on child theme, to make sure that the changes are immune to future theme updates. the person told us, that it is not possible to do it on child theme. is this correct?
Many thanks x M.
Hey again!
1. This was an issue that WP 3.9 brought that was corrected in 4.0.3 (released a couple hours ago)
2. It’s not possible since the output will need to modify the existing file (shortcode-processing.php) which can’t be overwritten from a child theme unfortunately.
Cheers
Hi
Thank you for your response
If the 3.9 WP issue was fixed, I have a question> When I update the theme, and remove all the files, upload the new files, my site does not work properly. Changes done to woocommerce are gone, woocommerce pages are out of proportions, and the slider on homepage does noot work properly.
is there a way to update the theme, but keep all the changes applied to Woocommerce?
Thank you Martyna
Where did you make your changes to WooCommerce? There shouldn’t be any issues like you’ve described when updating – are you on the current version now or have you reverted back? (so I can check your URL)
Hi Theme Nectar 
I have updated about an hour ago, and reverted back half an hour later.
After updating the theme, the logo was still with errors. There were two logos, one on top of the other. On the shop page, the options we added to product icons (different size: height of the product icon, the fact that the product image changes when a person hoovers over it, also the fact that the dark box with the price and title of the product changes from black to whiet whena person hoovers over it), and the dark box with the price and title of the product,
Now when I enter the site, and watch the product page, you will see the detaiuls discribed: http://www.mmevelo.com/sklepAnd it is multilingual, the changes show up both on polish and english version of the page.
When you have see the page, I will then update the theme, so that you can see what changes take place.
Or maybe you have a better solution
when I update, the things described dissapear. hoover images do not show up, the size of the product image changes.
Thanks! Martyna
Hey again Martyna, sorry for the delay!
The logo issue should have definitely been sorted – did you do a clean install of the new version i.e. deleting your old one before uploading the new + clear your cache?
All of your WooCommerce mods are in a child theme correct? If so they should keep too but depending on what version you’re updating from if you have a header.php in your child theme that would need to be updated to match the parent theme one.
Feel free to update now and let me know when to check 
Cheers
Hey Theme Nectar
Thank you for your message.
Yes, I removed all the files from the directory on the server, and uploaded the new ones.
I will do this again once a person helping me with the code moves all the files related to shop page to the child theme
I would be so grateful if you explained this: “All of your WooCommerce mods are in a child theme correct? If so they should keep too but depending on what version you’re updating from if you have a header.php in your child theme that would need to be updated to match the parent theme one.”
We have the language switcher in the black nav bar, and the logo in the header.
Thank you Martyna .
You’re welcome!
I was just saying that if you have a header.php file in your child theme folder, than it will need to be updated to match the 4.0 version – if you don’t have a header.php in the child theme then don’t worry. 
ah, now I understand 
Thank you Martyna
You’re welcome 
How do I change the client slider from opening a new tab when clicked or in HTML terms target=”_blank” to target=”_self” through a quick CSS fix
Cheers
Hey sean7787!
You’d need to open the shortcode-processing.php file located in the nectar/tinymce directory and search for:function nectar_clientto end up at the right place to make the change
Cheers
Thanks
You’re welcome 
Trying to use this theme on a modern wordpress development stack that uses composer to install wordpress and where the directory layout is totally different from base install. Check https://github.com/roots/bedrock to see how the directory structure is layed out.
My problem is that since the directory structure is different the the salient theme options fail to load the proper css and js resources. It works if I install wordpress the regular way.
Is there way to fix this so resources load however wordpress is installed?
Thanks in advance. I submitted a ticket also.
Hey tomorrowpicturesinc,
the issue most likely resides in these lines inside of the defaults.php file located in the nectar/options/defaults.php file:
$fslashed_dir = trailingslashit(str_replace('\\','/', dirname(__FILE__)));
$fslashed_abs = trailingslashit(str_replace('\\','/', ABSPATH));
For now i’d recommend simply changing them to work for where your directory is located but thanks for pointing this out for me to look into 
Hey, transparent header was an excelente job. However, can we choose leave off the line under the header for the next upgrade?! Something like a completely transparent header ? Thanks, and salient is already awesome!
Thanks Fred!
Enter this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
html body #header-outer.transparent[data-transparent-header="true"] {
border: none!important;
}
Cheers 
OH. GREAT!!!!!!
Glad to help
Is there a Lightbox for Blogposts planned?
Hey lorderdbeer, you can call a lightbox where ever you need by adding the class “pp” to a link, for example:
<a href="your-image.jpg" class="pp"><img src="your-image.jpg" /></a>
Also if you need a lightbox gallery you can use the image gallery element in the page builder 
Hello. Seems your Demo Page is not coming back to life – already for quite a while… Hope you didn’t gave up.
Such a good piece of work the Sailent Theme.
Best, Peter
Hey Peter!
The demo was up when I went to sleep and when I woke up today – I was unaware of any downtime and it seems there’s been no other reports of the matter. Can you still not access it?
I definitely didn’t give up! 
Hello. Yes, it’s a bit weird. Whenever I try to access the demo from the themeforest “Live Preview” button I end up seeing a blank page. When I click on a button from your demo content I am redirected to your new frost demo and everything works out fine. However, now I saw the two extra links below. Never paid attention to any other links… Uff. Sorry for that.
And I think Sailent is the most sophisticated theme I came across so far. Really. It’s amazing. Thank you.
Best, Peter
Thanks a lot Peter 
Don’t know why the live preview link was acting up for you but i’m glad you can see it now!
Cheers 
I’d like to buy the theme, but I’ve got a question – why the demo page doesn’t scroll down/up while previewing it? I’m using imac+wireless apple mouse witch seems to not work, I have to use the scroll bar instead…. O_o thx
Hey nataszka, you’d probably just need to disable the smooth scrolling option within the theme settings 
Cheers
Thanks! 
You’re welcome 
Found a bug ….
Wrong: header#top #logo .retina-logo { display: none; }
Should be: header#top #logo #retina-logo { display: none; }
Hey kabdulgh,
Actually it was changed to be a class instead of an ID in 4.0 – if you still have an ID than your header.php is either outdated or being overwritten by an outdated header.php in a child theme 
Cheers
Hey Nectar, really loving the theme! just one stupid question – How do I update it to 4.0? I bought the theme some time ago.
Hey jonasgraversen!
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 
Blog area version 4 Page set up as Masonry (both versions)
The links stick out past the box meaning they don’t break like the rest of the text does so they don’t stay within the size of the box and overlap with the links from the box to the right. Any easy fix for this aside from going into each blog and testing if adding a break will work? I got couple blogs with many links. Thank you so much
Hey mayka06851, if you can provide a URL to your blog I’ll help you out with that 
can you please email directly to pixelfanatix@gmail.com? thank you

Please take this guys comments into careful consideration and tell his “web developer ” to give up on life ( or tell him he must be 5 years old! WAHHAHHAHA cant stop laughing at this joke, I think he missed the date of April fools. ( PS. this was posted for you because I know you cant say it yourself without getting in shit ) 




Sorry but this is NOT a simple easily customisable design. I feel I have been totally mis-sold what it was. I have wasted time and money trying to get it to work as I hoped it would.
The design is not set up as it is in the demo, you have to add that as an extra plug in. However, this is NOT made clear when buying the licence.
The back office Wordpress control panel is the most unintuitive and ham-fisted control panel I have ever had to use.
I asked a web designer to have a look at it and help me customise it as I thought I would be able to do, and he gave up!
Sorry but you need to be clearer that this is not a template for people who are not completely conversant with both Wordpress AND CSS.
How do I get my money back please?
I want my money back!
v4.0 is a gem Nectar! The transparent header alone made my day
Can’t wait to keep exploring the new features!
Hey Max!
Glad you’ve finally started diving in! 
Cheers
