If I remember correctly I learned in the documentation video about the you created the “coding video” video background, did you? Because this guys here are using the same I think: http://8theme.com (scroll a bit down) – is that legal? (Or is it a royalty free stock video?)
Hey theroyalvideographer, thanks so much for bringing this to my attention – that video is indeed mine. I will get in touch with them to remove it

Your theme is compatible with the latest wordpress installation? Smith 3.9 i have some themes crashing on that installation, also your theme have child-theme?
Hey meikatun,
yes – Salient 4.0.3 was released yesterday which allows for WP 3.9 compatibility. Also it is indeed child theme ready but there’s no child theme included in the download (the process for making one is the same as it would for any WP theme).
Cheers
Hello, I’m having some issues with Woo Commerce. I installed the latest update for Salient, installed and turned on woo commerce, but it’s not showing up in the shortcode gen on any of the editors. Also, the shopping cart in nav doesn’t show up either (i have it turned on). I can see it in the dashboard and was able to install dummy content but i know there’s something not right with it… I saw that there was a Woo Framework update today for WP 3.9 and wasnt sure if that might be needed but I cant update it myself because i dont have a developer account… Please let me know… thanks!
Hey RenderRebel!
Make sure you’re using the latest WooCommerce as it most likely needs to most current version to have the shortcode button work with WP 3.9.
Can you share your URL so I can check on the shopping cart though?
Cheers
Everything is up to date. I pm’d you my login info… Please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks!
Hey again! It seems the cart is working normally – you just need to add a product into the cart for it to show: http://kelme.renderfresh.com/shop/
As for the shortcode button not showing – this does appear to be a WooCommerce conflict with WP 3.9. I assume they’ll release an update to sort this out soon enough
Hello again,
Could you please assist me with a CSS fix for the button on the home slider please, the follwing screenshot is on an iphone 5 you will see the “about us” button needs to be lower. thank you kindly.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ht8dmod52zc8hig/css%20fix%20please.pngHey!
Add this into the custom css box and adjust until you get the distance you want
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 1px) {
body #featured article .post-title > a {
margin-top: 25px!important;
}
}
Hey there,
Just noticed when making a font italic in the Typography section, it writes the CSS to say “font-weight: italic” instead of font-style. Thus, the italics don’t show. Any quick fix for this?
Thank you! Rachel
Hey Rachel! The weight is actually italic from Google but it seems Chrome has an issue with this (firefox is loading the font normally). For now you could also set the style to italic to force it (change the weight back to regular as well). If you can let me know which group you wanted to make italic I can assist with the css
Thanks for the response. I did it myself. Just wanted to let you know.
Glad to hear you sorted it!
Cheers
I uploaded my logo and it’s not showing up. Also I tried to open a ticket but I don’t know how to get my purchase code. Please help.
Hey maurinoloureiro, please share URL so I can see what’s up
Hi – I would like to have some images placed in the header (between the logo and the menu). Could you help me with this?
Hey Moiety, this would require modding the header.php file – the images would most likely need to be then targeted with css to positioned them how you need.
I’ve tried this, but it doesn’t work. The CSS I used:
picture-header{
float: center; }
Could you help me out?
Hey again – can you supply me a URL to a page that has the image(s) in the header so I can take a look and help with the css?
Cheers
Hello my friend its been a while, I hope you are well.
I have only just had a chance to start work on my second theme nectar site and it is going awesome. I have a small issue with the text alignment using the boxed layout. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5j738oy2hj1kv1x/Text%20Alignment%20Issue.png How can I align the last image text (left hand side) so it doesn’t leave such a large gap between the text and the image, similar to the gap between the first image and right handside text box please?
Hey 312Media,
Anyway you can share your URL to that page so I can see why the spacing looks a bit off?
Cheers
thanks for your quick reply, you may check ticket number Ticket: #199411 thanks again.
Thanks – I’ll be with you soon
Hello. I love the preview of this theme and after investigating this comment thread, it seems that you provide excellent support which is 99% of what gets me to purchase a theme on themeforest. I have a couple pre-purchase questions.
Do you plan on keeping this theme up to date with the latest versions of wordpress and Woocommerce? I will be using it for a storefront with over 300 products and need to be sure it is future proof.Can the search bar at the top search woo commerce products or just posts and tags?
Can I add a email list sign up within the call to action (mail chimp)?
Thank You so very much for any help and creating such a nice theme!
Hey mtntownmedia!
1. Yes indeed – it’s compatible with the latest of both and updates are released quickly if conflicts occur with new versions.
2. It searches products too, you can test this out on the demo by searching for “ninja”.
3. This would take some custom development to get it in the CTA, but you can easily add a mailchimp signup elsewhere through a plugin.
Cheers
That all sound fabulous. Thank you for for replying! Very much appreciated.
You’re very welcome
Loving the theme. It’s by far my favorite responsive theme for Wordpress and a great asset!
Question about the toggle in Nectar shortcodes. I didn’t see an option to set specific toggles to an “open” state on page load. Is there a way to do this? I read a previous post with an option to set them all to open always but I only want to set certain toggles to open and the rest to remain closed. It would be good to have a toggle open or closed checkbox option when we’re creating the toggles in the Nectar editor. Just a suggestion.
Also, all of the toggles are set to the default light gray when they are closed and uses the accent color set in my theme when it’s open… but is there a way to set the “closed” state toggle color by chance?
Hey sburkowski!
1. Unfortunately there’s no easy way to do without some custom development right now but i’ve noted that feature request for the wishlist
2. Enter this into the custom css box in your Salient Options panel to alter the color of the default state of your toggles:
.toggle h3 a {
background-color: #27CFC3!important;
}
Cheers!
Thanks for the reply back. Looking forward to the addition in the future as well thanks for adding to the wishlist.
You’re very welcome
Based on recommendations, I created a child theme because of the amount of php and css mods I’ve made so they don’t get overwritten every time theres an update. Top level things like header.php and style.css work fine, however anything 1 or 2 levels level down don’t get propagated at all like entry.php, colors.css, responsive.css, and rgs.css. How do I get these to work within the child theme? I’ve named the folder hierarchy the same as the original and also tried moving those files to the top level. No go either way.
I meant colors.php. Anyway, I figured out that I need to create a child functions.php and possibly do it there, but I don’t know what the syntax would be. How to call the files I want and tell the theme NOT to call the files in the default locations.(?)
Hey lovelyjunkie, as of now it’s not possible to mod all of those without touching the parent theme since some are directly included in the functions.php such as the colors.php – however as far as handling the responsive.css & rgs.css you just need to dequeue the parent stylesheets in order to enqueue your child theme ones. Here’s a ticket where I explain how http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/136919 except my example was doing a js file instead of a css asset.
Cheers
Okay man, I’ll have a look. Thanks!
Alright, I tested it with init.js and it worked. Also works for rgs.css, but NOT for responsive.css. Not sure if its an order of operations thing or I messed up the syntax translating from js to css from the example. Any way you can give me the proper syntax for adding both rgs and responsive to the child theme’s functions.php file?
You’re welcome
Here’s a working example for the responsive/rgs
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'custom_responsive_css', 20 );
function custom_responsive_css() {
wp_dequeue_style( 'responsive' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'salient-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/css/responsive.css');
wp_dequeue_style( 'rgs' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'salient-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/css/rgs.css');
}
Cheers
Hey bud, thanks for the reply. Pasted exactly what you have there into my functions.php of the child theme and it doesn’t work. It DOES dequeue the originals because the styling is gone, but doesn’t load the child styles. Tried for the two above and woocommerce.css. Looks like I’m gonna have to just directly edit those files.
Whoops, there’s a slight error in the above snippet (both are accidentally named the same thing). Here’s the correct version:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'custom_responsive_css', 20 );
function custom_responsive_css() {
wp_dequeue_style( 'responsive' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'salient-child-responsive', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/css/responsive.css');
wp_dequeue_style( 'rgs' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'salient-child-rgs', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/css/rgs.css');
}
Same as markcurrier – two header logos when I scroll down on a page.
www.georgedigweed.com
Urgent.
OK – have seen the 4.0.3 upgrade…. am installing that now.
Hey mattrutherford,
Salient v4.0.3 cures that – it seems you haven’t updated yet, but make sure you delete your current version before uploading the new one when you do
Cheers
Not sure if a recent update caused it but when I scroll on my site two header logos now appear. This wasn’t happening before.
Hey Mark,
WP 3.9 did cause this and the update 4.0.3 of Salient which was released yesterday fixed it
I just bought the theme and installed it, and it still says I’m using 4.0.2 .. The slider won’t display on my website.
UPDATE: reinstall and it shows 4.0.3 – Nectar Slider still doesn’t work, just get the spinning icon.
Hey natedodd, can you deactivate your plugins to ensure there’s no conflict and if it’s still doing it – please allow me to log in to check for errors http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Cheers
That was it, another plug in. Thanks!
Glad to hear
Cheers!
Hi there, I am trying to link a nectar button to call a pop-up contact form 7 window using lightbox function below. What is the way of doing this please? many thanks for help!
formlightbox title=”Join Our Workshops” [/formlightbox]
not sure what happened to my paste. here it is again: .[formlightbox title=”Join Our Workshops”] .[contact-form-7 id=”2708” title=”Enrol”] .[/formlightbox]
Hey Victor,
does your lightbox shortcode allow for html inside like you’ve placed? If so then I assume the only thing you’re looking for help with is turning the link into a nectar button correct? If so, please just paste the URL of the page containing this so I can help
URL of my page is http://www.occtutors.com/generalist-workshop2 As you can see there is an “Enrol Now” text link at the moment, for which I’d like to replace that by a nectar button if possible. Thanks for looking.
Add this to the css box on that page:
.fl_box-1 {
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: 'OpenSansbold';
font-size: 12px;
letter-spacing: 2px!important;
padding: 13px 18px;
position: relative;
text-transform: uppercase;
top: -3px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
opacity: 0.75;
line-height: 20px;
background-color: #27CFC3;
display: inline-block;
border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
box-shadow: 0 -3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) inset;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 -3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) inset;
transition: opacity 0.3s linear;
-webkit-transition: opacity 0.3s linear;
}
Just change the background color to whatever you desire
works perfect. thanks vm!
No problem! Change the snippet to this:
.cboxElement {
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: 'OpenSansbold';
font-size: 12px;
letter-spacing: 2px!important;
padding: 13px 18px;
position: relative;
text-transform: uppercase;
top: -3px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
opacity: 0.75;
line-height: 20px;
background-color: #27CFC3;
display: inline-block;
border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
box-shadow: 0 -3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) inset;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 -3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) inset;
transition: opacity 0.3s linear;
-webkit-transition: opacity 0.3s linear;
}
Cheers
Hey, Can you recommend a plug in to use that will allow me to edit the size of fonts I want to use when I’m using the Visual Composer and the Nectar Shortcodes? I have a plug in that works normally, just not with the nectar Shortcodes.
Hey theljmusic,
Can you paste an example of it being used inside of a shortcode here so I can see why it may be not working for you?
Cheers
Here’s a snapshot http://i.imgur.com/uMSmsDo.png
So, you can see its a text block that I want to enlarge the font size for “A song for you” but I have no option other than headings. Unless I’m using the wrong shortcode. Either way, other shortcodes have the same problem. Like, here’s the same issue with the Centered Heading short code http://i.imgur.com/QEKzvOJ.png I just want to be able to change the size of the font.
ANOTHER QUICK question: Dividers, how do I make something move up? With other seperators/dividers, I can usually put -20px and it’ll work, but -20 with Salient is the same as just 20.
Hey again,
1. Sorry I’m not sure how your plugin normally changes font sizes, I was assuming it perhaps offered a shortcode for you to place text in between in order to control the size. Have you tried to switch into the classic editor view and change the size there with your plugin?
2. The divider in Salient is a div that gets it height set based on what you enter – a negative px value is not valid for the height of an element. If you want to set a negative margin between something you would have to do so via css. If you can show me an example where you want to do that on a URL i can create it for you as an example.
Cheers
Hey Nectar. Thanks for the replies. I have tried switching from classic to VC but it’s a scary process because it bugs the content. An example is content in Centered Heading going from “We’ll do it all!” to “We’//ll do it all!//”.
You’re welcome
That’s odd – it usually would only do that where HTML entities exist. Thanks for noting the example though, I’ll test with that on my end and see what’s going on.
Cheers
Hi,
I updated the theme to the latest version and I’ve noticed a small bug that I could use some help on. I have multiple Tab sections stacked on top of one another. When one tab section is longer than another, the content area used to resize to accommodate all of the content. Now, it bleeds into subsequent sections creating overlapping text. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Hey snapmedia,
Can you please share the URL of the page giving you this problem so I can check it out?
Cheers
Hey again!
This only occurs because you have them in full width content rows – i’ve noted to resolve this for the next update but if you need to use them the way you are try the full width background row type in the meantime
Cheers
same as “mzuker” can we not just update through wordpress like most other themes? Also….if i put in my SHOWBIZ plugin shortcode into a page or post that has visual composer on, the height is not allowed. Basically it seems visual composer, well yours anyways is restricting this function. I have 300px by 800px images and they are coming out at 256 by 256 even though the settings are the same in showbiz options.
If i disable your visual composer then it works but just letting you know that there is an issue here that needs looking at soon.
Hello Nojule,
1. That wouldn’t solve anything for mzukers request since he has modified the core files – all of his changes would be lost if that was an option.
2. If you can supply a URL to the page where your plugin is displaying the incorrect size I’d be glad to take a look for you
changelog please?
is there a way to edit only some file instead update ALL again?
i already updated the theme 3 times this week LOL and every time take me like 2 hours because all the custom code we have
Hey mzuker, the changelog was updated this morning – the updates were not all released within a week, but the reason the reason for 4.0.3 was WP 3.9. Had conflicts not emerged from that another release wouldn’t have come out until the next feature based one.
Hi Nectar, is it possible to make a video about how to update salient 4.0.3 via WP?
it’s not straight forward to me, I am having trouble to understand how to update it even though I read the thread Theme Nectar has posted few hours ago.
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks a lot.
Hey Nifty – the update process has always been the same throughout the history of the theme. You’re going to be doing exactly what you did when you first installed it except you need to delete the current version you have first. If you’re using the WP dashboard you just need to activate another theme (such as twenty fourteen) to allow the option to delete Salient and then you can proceed uploading the new release
