Hi,
I’m trying to have 2 separate “Portfolio” items on the same page, with different categories in each one: http://screencast.com/t/iFLBvZ5q And it works – but the categories filter is not working… When I add the SECOND portfolio item, its filter menu shows the categories from the FIRST one…. Moreover, for some odd reason the “all” item is gone. http://screencast.com/t/X6MqM7S5 Just to be sure, here’s a screenshot without my custom css that changes the way the filter is displayed: http://screencast.com/t/Y1Z6HbnaAm I doing something wrong?
Hey omriamos, unfortunately multiple portfolios were not intended to be used on the same page which is why the filters aren’t working as expected however I intend on removing this limitation in the next coming update 
Cheers
One big question (for me):
Do you have plans to build-in the option for “Transparent Header” on a page by page basis? The Transparent Header is just a fantastic option and my mind is reeling with the possibilities of what I could do with it on my “projects” pages…. but unfortunately I really don’t want a transparent header on EVERY page where I have already elected to use a Page Header, because I’ve made heavy use of Page Headers in my other sections and I just want to just keep the regular white header in them
If I do choose the transparent header option in the Salient control panel, Is there maybe a way with CSS or I guess PHP modification to basically say NO to a transparent header on a PARTICULAR page? This would allow me to keep my regular header on some pages (by choice) and use the transparent headers on all the others?
I’m afraid I don’t have much coding knowledge – thanks so much.
Hey sdbeachman,
you can accomplish this through a small mod to the functions.php file
Open that up and search for “function using_page_header” to end up at the right place – one there locate this “return $the_verdict;” and right above that add this:
if( is_page( 'Your Project Name' ) ){
$the_verdict = false;
}
Just change the Your Project Name to match your desired project to hide it from. If you need to add multiple pages to this you can add them like this:
if( is_page( 'Your Project Name' ) || is_page( 'Your Project Name 2' ) || is_page( 'Your Project Name 3' ) ){
$the_verdict = false;
}
Cheers
Got it! Will this work for non-project pages too? I actually want all my project pages to have the transparent header – but some other pages (like Contact, About, Services) to keep the standard non-transparent header. I’m guessing it will and will give it a quick test.
Yes, it will work with any page/post/project
Cheers
Here’s something I can’t solve and wonder if there is a solution:
On the full-width portfolio the theme dynamically resizes – from five columns to four columns to three columns to two to one. Which is awesome! But if I have, say, 15 projects that fill up the screen beautifully with five columns (5×3 grid), then when I resize the browser (or when someone on a smaller screen goes to my site) and the site dynamically resizes the portfolio to just four columns, then now my gorgeous portfolio has just 15 projects filling up what are NOW 16 spaces (4×4 grid) – and that empty space then makes my portfolio look “incomplete” like I couldn’t come up with another project to show
Is there any way or am I missing an option to solve this “even/odd” display problem and “to plug” the empty space thumbnail space on a full-width portfolio when it dynamically resizes column numbers?
Hey sdbeachman!
There’s an option called “Constrain Max Columns to 4” on the portfolio page builder element that will do just as it says – here’s an example page making use of it http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/portfolio-fullwidth-style-4/
I knew you guys had that solved – thanks and sorry for missing the option!
No worries sdbeachman!
Cheers
Hey maurinoloureiro, the nectar slider shrinks its text in relation to the shrinking BG image in order to keep it in perfect proportion and thus is becomes smaller than most text in other elements. If you want to make your testimonial slider test shrink more as well enter this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
.testimonial_slider blockquote {
font-size: 16px!important;
line-height: 28px!important;
}
.testimonial_slider blockquote span {
font-size: 12px!important;
}
}
Cheers
Thank you is working but the testimonial is still cutting my nectar slider. Could you take a look, please?
Hey forget. I found it. I had to change to Full Width the Nectar Slider. Thank you
Is there any way to fix the height to avoid the testimonial size being change and also reduce the distance between the author and the phrase?
Hi, I use Customized size for fonts such as Nectar and Captions and once I change it changed the Testimonial also. Is it possible to avoid it otherwise the problem will come back.
Hey again
1. The option to keep your testimonial slider at a fixed height is coming in the next feature release. If you needed to do this now it would take some custom javascript development.
2. Can you activate your custom fonts so I can see why the snippet I gave you isn’t overwriting that?
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar,
What font’s did you use in your demo?
Thank you in advance!
Hey PixellBox,
Open Sans & Lovelo
Cheers
Hi there,
is there some css I can add to make the arrow when accessing the mobile menu more visible, at the moment it is black, and it can hardly be seen. red would be better I think.
thanks
Yes, add this in
#mobile-menu .sf-sub-indicator [class^="icon-"], #mobile-menu .sf-sub-indicator [class*=" icon-"] {
color: red!important;
}
Great thanks a lot! Works like a charm!
You’re very welcome
More Ideas… In design mode Milestones should show the actual Milestone Subject not a label “Milestone Subject”.
Hey SteveZL, thanks for the suggestion
Hey guys,
Have updated to 4.03 and running wp 3.9
I’ve done a clean install and not running any plugins apart from standard ones that salient requires.
I have a problem that when adding a wysiwyg text block in a new row it’s just showing the text editor and when clicking on visual there’s nothing apart from the extra class box
This happens at random
When duplicating from another box it works? This is from a totally fresh install of both wp and Salient with new pages and posts?
Cheers
Hey martyfin, could you allow me to log in to see this in action? I have been unable to replicate locally (open at private ticket at http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ and let me know the ID here )
Cheers
Is there a way to add a transparent background to the text in a textt content block? Similar to the Nectar slider transparent background for the caption.
Hey theljmusic, this would require custom css – the process could be wrapping your text in a span with a class that has the same properties as the nectar slider caption
NECTAR SLIDER PAGE: FILTER BY CATEGORIES IS GONE?
Hello guys, in the Nectar Slider page, with all the slides, could it be that we can’t filter by categories anymore? I see a dropdown menu to filter by date, but to filter by categories is much better when you have plenty of slides (like I do).
Cheers Ramiro
Hey Ramiro! This is unintended and there’s quickfix to hold you over till the next release – open the functions.php and change this line:
$args = array( 'public' => true, '_builtin' => false );
to this:
$args = array( 'public' => false, '_builtin' => false );
Cheers
solved. Thank you for that.
You’re welcome
Hi!
I have a pretty wide menu with a lot of different links. When I view the page on my iPad (in horizontal view) the two last menu items + the search icon jumps down to a second row, making the whole menu taking up a lot of space on the top of the page.
Is it possible to make the menu go into “small screen mode” for iPad in horizontal view as well (like on a smartphone or vertical view on iPad with the little menu icon instead)?
Thank you!
Hey psoderfjord! There’s an easy fix for this – can you just share your URL so I can create the css that’s right for you?
Cheers
Enter this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) and (max-width: 1200px) {
header#top nav > ul > li > a {
font-size: 11px!important;
padding-left: 3px!important;
padding-right: 4px!important;
}
}
Cheers
Ah perfect!
Tank you!
You’re welcome
Has anybody experienced this problem: When running Wordpress 3.9 with Salient 4.0.3, the entire “Posts” section breaks in the dashboard. When I try to go to posts (all posts, add new, etc) all I get is a blank page.
I don’t get the problem when I activate the WP default or any other themes.
Any ideas how this can be fixed?
Thanks!
Additional info: Seems I can fix it by disabling my plugins – not an ideal solution though.
Hey filleboheme! This isn’t a known issue – what is the plugin causing the conflict? I assume you’ve narrowed it down to one giving the trouble
Cheers
Hi, the UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore plugin seems to be breaking the posts section, and whenever the Responsive Lightbox plugin is activated the “add media” function no longer works. Working without them for the time being and looking for an alternative lightbox solution as the Salient-own lightbox no longer works across all post types since the update. Thanks!
Hey again,
Can you please provide me with a URL to a page where the Salient lightbox is no longer working as you stated?
Cheers
Hi TN,
I know that you can add a Vimeo embed in the home slider like on the second slide of this page: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/home/home-basic/
but we have a Nectar slider installed on the home page and would love to embed a Vimeo in the slider so that a product demo video is much more obvious to the visitor than a “watch demo video” button that links to the lightbox.
Does this require custom php/css?
Thanks!
If you need to look at the website, we’ve created a customer support ticket. Please see #200146. Thanks!
Hey ipsossmx!
You can accomplish this by simply pasting your vimeo embed into the caption field of the slide you desire it to display on. There might need to be some css created to make it fit perfectly but it will display
Cheers
Hi, ThemeNectar I am missing the About Me – Creative page in the dummy data and I would like to implement the code used in WordPress is there any way that you could help me? Thanks in advance!
Edit – I imported the page however I don’t see the “Tell Your Story” page which is missing and I am looking for the shortcode that is used on that page. If anyone has it please let me know.
Hey jeremydarko!
The Tell Your Story link in the demo is just a duplicate link that goes to the portfolio project “mobile weather app” (which should be in your dummy data)
I imported all the dummy data again but where do I find the portfolio project, ThemeNectar?!
If you’re not seeing it in your “Portfolio” tab in the admin panel please open up a ticket in the support forum so I can log in and see what’s going on
Cheers
What about RTL support? Any time in the near future? That’s the only thing holding me back from purchasing.
Please see my answer to your first comment

Hey cassetta, unfortunately that would take some custom css as of now but it’s still on the wishlist
Hi there not sure where I am going wrong, but I have changed the Accent Color, Extra Color #1, Extra Color #2 and my menu is still not changing colour, can you give us a hand please? if you need to check the site take a look at: Ticket: #199411 it has the site details there. I am trying change it to the same colour as I have selected for those three options. thanks
Hey!
I’m currently seeing the menu active color displaying as your chosen custom color (#FF4629) – if you’re trying to change all of the links to be that color you’ll need to go to your header options tab and use the color pickers to assign your desired colors for other states
Hello my friend, that’s the option I was looking for the header options tab, thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction. It works perfectly now!
You’re very welcome
Hi, I just had some pre-purchase questions:
1. In the Admin Panel, do we have control over fonts for the footer, as well as line-height as well?
2. Is there demo content available with Salient?
3. What’s the name of the font in the menu on the Salient demo page? Is that a Google web font?
Thanks for your time.
Hey portpass1974!
1. The footer fonts are influenced by the fonts you select for other groups i.e. the widget text is influenced by the body font selections and the headers are influenced by your h4 selections. Line heights are calculated automatically but you can overwrite with css.
2. Yes, both dummy data is included for both live demos shown.
3. It’s called lovelo and it’s not a Google font: http://fontfabric.com/lovelo-font/
Cheers
How can i translate some text like “read more” or “view larger” in Portfolio ?
Ok , Thanks I found it in this file: /wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php
Hey elserafi! Glad you found it

Hello
I have a problem using recent project element. I have 420×250 thumbnail images that looks great in portfolio page. However they look not right when using recent portfolio element. They are either small or big in different resolution when recent project element calls them. They look nice in one resolution but when I shrink the window there is white background between images, When mouse overs green overlay cover whole image and white bg area. It really looks not right. I wonder if I am doing some wrong?
Thank you for your help
http://id-thought.com/Hey ekapkin!
Edit the recent projects element and check the option for it to display full width – I know you have it in a full width content row but checking that box will allow it to display a little different. After that, you just need to upload featured images that meet the minimum requires for the display you’re doing (min 600px width and min 400px height) or else there will be excess space
Thanks It works great now! I don’t know how I skipped check-box
No worries!
