On pages such as, http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/portfolio/mobile-weather-app/, how do you get the page header image to be treated as a background image and be forced all the way to the top of the page?
Hey Mark,
The option to set a page header on portfolio items/blog posts was introduced in v4.0 as well as the transparent header 
Cheers
Hi,
For blog posts, are we able to insert google maps or images that stretch full width?
Thanks!
Hey jacksheo! Only if you were using the full width blog layout – however on any layout single post you can have a full width header image at the top as of 4.0
Hi. Quick question about the Nectar slider. Is there a way to temporarily freeze the slider in the background after click a button that pops open a video in the lightbox?
It’s potentially distracting to the user to watch the demo video when slides are still moving behind it (for all 60 seconds in this instance).
Hey ipsossmx! This should occur normally – is the button linking to your video in the same slide as the video bg?
Cheers
Hey guys,
Love that using your theme I sorta don’t feel like Im “Working” for my clients as much as I was before!
Just wondering if it’s possible to use “Standard Header with Secondary Navigation” that could display the sub navigation items for the main menu links on hover, and permanently for parent/sub pages of that link.
I hope that makes sense!
Rob
Hey Rob, that’s great to hear!
I’m probably misunderstanding your request slightly – anyway you can send over a rough mockup image portraying what you’re looking to do? Or perhaps just explain a tad more.
Cheers!
Hi, Is it possible change the font size of my header from the nectar slider?
Hey maurinoloureiro!
Yes, just check out the typography options tab in your Salient options panel
Cheers
Hey guys!
Salient 4.0.3 is now in the upload queue and should be available to download later tonight. This is a minor update to fix the compatibility issues with WordPress 3.9 & some other small bugs. Check the changelog for a full list soon
Cheers
Hi Guys,
Question about video backgrounds using the nectar slider. I noticed that on one of the video backgrounds in your demo that you have a blue color overlay. I’m trying to do the same thing with mine. I was able to recreate it by adding a video background to a row element, but not using the nectar slider. Is this even an option? I want to use the nectar slider because I want to take advantage of the flexible height feature. Here is the page if it helps. Trying to apply a blue over lay. http://www.sinch.us/about/
Thanks for your help as always
Hey squareinch!
Right now you could do this with custom css or directly adding the overlay to the video itself via a video editing program of your choice. If you want to go the css method – add a class name to the slide such as “my-cool-color”, activate the texture overlay and let me know once you’ve done that so I can supply the css
Cheers
Excellent! Definitely going the css route. I’m using the class:
.blue-overlay
I’ve also activated the texture overlay.
Thank you so much.
I don’t see the class added on the slide but this will target it by the page – add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.page-id-17 .video-texture {
background-color: rgba(0, 162, 255, 0.8)!important;
}
Cheers
My apologies. I thought you meant for me to put the class in the Custom CSS area of the visual composer on that page. But this code works perfectly! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
You’re very welcome!
I’ve found a number of people asking about pattern overlays on images….For both the slider and parallax page header background. As you know, it’s most helpful for applying text over the top of images.
I have not really found anywhere that you address the question in terms of addressing this in an update. Do you have any intention of adding this function?
Hey bmacstudio,
4.0 just brought tons of new options for pages headers but unfortunately this wasn’t one – I still have this on the wishlist and it will most likely make its way into one of the feature releases but I don’t have an ETA at this time.
Cheers
Hey, i would like to know how to change the texte color in the header secondary. i use salient theme and i couldn’t find it.
Hey EURLJulienLayral,
Just select “custom” for the header color scheme and you’ll unlock a bunch of color pickers for the header/secondary header
Cheers
Love the theme! I’m interested in buying but had a concern. I have a pretty fast connection, 50/25. Load times for users is really important. The load times on this demo site seem quite long. Is there anyway to speed this up with your theme?
Thanks NYMills! It could be because you’re further away from our server – the load time achieved on our end is 2-3 seconds
Sorry for multiple posts – problem seems to be in the latest version of Chrome, homepage portfolio images shown at their largest size of 600×400 cause the adjacent thumbnails to “jump” a few pixels on hover. Tried in two builds of Salient, local and live sites, and also the Salient demo site.
No problem, thanks for the report
3.9 messes up the homepage portfolio on this page: http://goo.gl/FNvrd7
Using the dummy data the bottom row jumps a few pixels on hover.
Hey velocity_uk! The newest version should sort this
Quick fix for those with the duplicate icon bug on WP 3.9, just remove the retina logo from Salient Header settings.
Thanks for helping others out Bolos3000! This was sorted in 4.0.3
Cheers
Hey, Someone posted this earlier “Wordpress 3.9 update introduces a bug where the logo in header is duplicated. Correct behaviour before update was: Logo was scaled down to fit the smaller header after scrolling down.
Now, after scrolling, two images are displayed.”
My stupid hosting company auto updated wordpress for me, wondering if there was a fix for this yet? Thanks!
Hey samueljustice00! Yes, the fix was included in 4.0.3 which was released today
Hey, I noticed a lot of elements have locked design options, for example in VC when I add a Row, then add a Centered Heading. The subtitle is not a changeable color. In order to fix that, I used this code:
html body p, html body {
color: #e2e2e2;}
And it works. But it causes all P text to be like that. I guess I’m looking for a code that lets me control the color of text/font for various elements where it doesn’t give me control.
Hey theljmusic,
you just need to target it more specifically as your other snippet targets all paragraphs on the site:
.section-title p {
color: #e2e2e2;
}
Cheers
Hi,
I think I’ve found a bug (?) that I wasn’t able to fix by myself with custom CSS – for some reason it looks like the “Centered Heading” doesn’t behave the same for normal pages and portfolio pages.
On normal pages it includes an horizontal line: http://screencast.com/t/E79vbk7q However the EXACT same code on a portfolio page does not include it: http://screencast.com/t/saIPyalBem
I disabled all of my custom CSS changes but it was the same.
I’ve found a work-around by using “Separator with Text” and adding ” ” (space) as the title.. it looks similar to “Centered Heading” without any text, just as a line separator, which is what I needed.
Hey josiechapman, thanks for noting this discrepancy – i’m glad you found a suitable workaround for your scenario though
Cheers
1. Is it ready for WP 3.9?
2. Cant find in theme options how to set white background-page to #fff in all pages. Do I have to do it via CSS? but how?
Thx
Hey virplay,
1. 4.0.3 is so make sure you’ve updated to the latest release.
2. Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
body, body .container-wrap, body .home-wrap, body #page-header-wrap, .project-title {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
Cheers
Thx a lot 
You’re welcome
Hi, its WP 3.9 ready?
Hey mzuker, yes – just make sure you’re using the latest release that landed today (4.0.3)
Cheers
Hello. Love the new updates. And please keep the videos coming. They are very helpful. 1) Is there any plans for a page nav bar that can scroll to a specific page sections, like this theme, dante.swiftideas.net/home/home-five-one-page-wonder. 2) Please add a button style that fills in the outline button on hover. I see that others have also mentioned this. 3) Any chances of an alternative search area, perhaps below the search icon. 4) Still hoping for an option to display menu links in the footer bar, instead of social icons. Thanks again!
Thanks joe88!
1. You can accomplish this already by using regular anchor links and a plugin like this for animated scrolling: http://wordpress.org/plugins/page-scroll-to-id/
2. Thanks for the +1
3/4 These items would require custom development as of now but i’ve noted for the wishlist
Cheers
Feature request: Add an optional fixed header in mobile please 
Thanks for the request gehrkensit!
This could be easily handled with css if you’re looking to do it now – just let me know if you need assistance
Cheers
This would be great! Thank you very much!
Hey again! Please see my response to your previous comment in regards
