I am a beginner with code, so if you could make it easy to understand that would be great.
- How do I make a left-aligned heading in a text block (using one of my typography custom headings)?
- How do change it’s color also?
OR
- How do I left-align my ‘Centered Heading’ using the Nectar shortcode?
Hey jonellsworthre,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel > general settings tab:
.section-title.text-align-center {
text-align: left!important;
}
Cheers 
Thank you, that worked. I would like control over my heading alignment for each column though, as some will be aligned-left, some will be aligned-right. Is there a way to do this?
In this case, you’d have to give a class to each row in your visual composer view such as “left-aligned” or “right aligned” and then enter this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.left-aligned .section-title.text-align-center {
text-align: left!important;
}
.right-aligned .section-title.text-align-center {
text-align: right!important;
}
Cheers
You’re a saint. Thank you very much
You’re very welcome
Hi, I test the theme demo website in IE8 in develop mode, it crashes the IE8 instantly when it gets loaded. And I also link it to the screenshot.
Hey again, please see my response to your previous comment in regards
Hi support.
I’d like to ask for your help.
I can see you’ve posted the comment previously. re removing author and date on each single post, NOT blog post page.
however, I am not so sure where I should go in order to remove it. I’ve gone the the appearance, theme and editor on bother salient and child themes. it didn’t work for me.
can you please provide me where I should go to edit and the correct CSS?
thank you very much.
Hey Niftyapplepie,
Add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel > general settings tab:
.single .meta-date, .single .meta-author {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
Thank you for the help. much appreciated
You’re very welcome
Hi!
This theme supports Multisite?
Thanks, Verónica
Hey Verónica, there’s no known issues with using a multisite install
Cheers
Thanks!
You’re welcome
Hi. I’d like to have an icon inside the tabbed title (within a tabbed content section). Is this possible? Thanks
Hey acafella11,
currently this wouldn’t be possible without modding the shortcode processing function in shortcode-processing.php (located in nectar/tinymce)
Cheers
Wondering if there is a mute button on Nectar slides with video background with audio? Thanks
Hey siumaiii unfortunately there’s no option for a button but if you just need to auto mute your videos it would be an easy mod
Or is there a way for the videos to stop after it’s done playing? Right now the video backgrounds auto loop.
Thanks again
that would require some file modding – however this might end up becoming an option by default in upcoming releases
Hey there! When adding a full width row in the visual composer ( with a colored background ) it doesn’t stretch the entire way to the left. There is a 40px or so gap between the end of the color background and the left edge of the browser. Any ideas? Thanks!
Nevermind, it was some CSS I added myself. All good!
Glad you sorted it!
Hi,
this theme is amazing, however, it crashes IE8 every time it gets loaded, so I remove all the javascript and put them back one by one, after I put back the superfish.js, the website crashes on IE8, can you check that?
Best Regards
Hey again plutora, please see my response to your initial comment in regards
Does the nectar slider always cover the header? I’m having trouble setting my page up so that the nectar slider is below the header… right now it is covering up the header
thanks! loving this theme!
hmm not sure what went wrong. but after resetting everything. it was fixed.. 
Glad to hear siumaiii
Hi,
Thanks for the awesome theme and even better support! I was wondering if there’s some custom CSS I can use to get the Nectar Slider’s arrows and bottom bullets on the Home Slider? I like the way the Home Slider handles text with the semi-transparent background and buttons, so I’d rather not just use the Nectar Slider on the homepage.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks a lot joelmorehouse!
Adding the Nectar Slider controls to the Home Slider would take custom development – however the Nectar Slider does indeed offer both the option to have a transparent BG behind your caption & the option to use a see through button style, so I would recommend using that instead still.
Cheers
Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to make columns within a column? For example. I have one row and 2 columns. On the second column, I want to break up the upper version into 3 columns to align icons better.
Thanks!
Solved!
Hey SDonato, glad to hear!
Hello, great theme! I have a couple of questions:
1) Is there a way to change the Nectar Slider caption background into one full box that surrounds the entire caption instead of just highlighting the text? And how can I change the text style/size in the captions?
2) I want the footer as a simple, thin bar with copyright information at the bottom of the page. However in pages where the content is minimal, the footer creeps up and becomes a really tall black bar. This also happens when shifting from Portfolio types that only have a few entries, in which case the footer scrolls up yet again to be thicker. How can I avoid this shifting footer and keep it a thin, minimal footer at the bottom? Can I turn off the footer-resize animation?
Thanks simarchi123!
1a. Try this in your custom css box in the Salient options panel:.swiper-slide .content {
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.7)!important;
width: auto!important;
}
1b. You can control the caption sizing in your typography tab in the Salient options panel.
2. having the footer stick to the bottom even when there’s not enough page content on larger screens would require some custom development. Here’s a technique for this, but integration would be required http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/

Noticed the same thing as SamAsh above. Editing text in visual mode doesn’t work in the Wordpress 9 update. Is there a fix to this?
Hey sildona, yes – by updating to Salient v4.0.3 – the only version that supports WP 3.9
Someone might have already mentioned this but, I was just adding adding a new blog post and notice that when you add a text block then edit it the text does not show up in the “visual” mode only in text mode – I did a post about 4 weeks ago and this wasn’t happening. – No big deal real just wanted to put it out there
Hey SamAsh! Make sure you’re using Salient v4.0.3 as it includes the fix for WP 3.9 conflicts
Ha – classic! My bad I had updated to Salient v4.0.3 but, had some issues when I installed WP 3.9 – my admin login would not show up, so I jump on cpanel and rolled back to my last backup and re-installed WP 3.9 manually but, forgot to update Salient again – All sorted now!
No worries! Glad you got it sorted
Cheers
Good Day!
I’m trying to get the background of the shopping cart to be just white, and not “off white”. What css code can I use to change it?
Hey CLRD!
#header-outer .cart-menu {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
Cheers
Hi, ThemeNectar is it possible to have the Header transparent like you have in the demo? How do you go about doing this? Also, on the blog layouts is it possible to include a Slider on the entire page (not on the posts? Thanks any assistance would be much obliged.
Hey jeremydarko!
1. You can activate the transparent header option in the header options tab of your Salient options panel – this option was added in v4.0 so make sure you’re on that version of higher.
2. Yes, but you’d need to use the blog page builder element/shortcode so you can place the nectar slider above it instead of using the “posts page” as defined in Settings > Reading
Cheers
Thanks so much for your assistance! Could you please tell me how to get the image in the background after the Milestone columns? Any assistance would be much obliged!
How do you set an image in the background after the Milestone on the Landing Page? Also, if possible can you have the Header set to Transparent on every page as well as the Home page?
I also would like to know how you have an image in the background below the Nav bar or the specific shortcode for placing that. Thanks a lot
On Mobile Weather App there is a Nectar Slider how do you edit it to have the images how you have it set up in your demo?
Hey again!
1. Please check out these tutorials so see how to add a BG image to your row:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4mt0lOJ888 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpJWWM4BAbo2. You can have the transparent header on any page that uses a nectar slider at the top or has a page header set
3. I believe you’re referring to the page header – it’’s configurable by you in the “Page header settings” metabox on any page/post.
4. The images in any Nectar Slider can be edited through the Nectar Slider tab in your admin panel. I’m slightly confused as to what you’re looking to emulate about that slider specifically.
Cheers
Also, is there a way a can add one more custom color (other than the 4 colors included in the panel)?
Hey Gassadamante, not for the quick accent color selections – this would require some custom development.
Is there a way you could help? like, for example, i would like to apply to some buttons a color that is not included in the standard four…how can i do it? I don’t think i can add custom style to the button’s shortcode, can i?
Actually the button shortcode offers a color picker as of Salient v.4.0
I don’t have this version but an earlier one, and i don’t think i can download the new one without paying again, can i?
You actually have free updates for life – just download the theme again from ThemeForest and you’ll have the current version.
Cheers
Pre-purchase question:
On other popular Wordpress themes (also intergrated with visual composer) that I use, they include an option within rows called visibility. With this option I can easily decide what content appears on what devices by selecting one of the following options: visable on all devices; visable on desktop only; visible on tablets only; visible on phones only; hidden on desktop only; visible on tablet only; visible on phones only.
Have you included this in your theme? It is much quicker than having to media query everything with custom CSS.
Thanks
Hey peem,
This is not a standard feature unfortunately and would indeed require css in the current state.
Cheers
Ok thanks. It would be great if you could introduce this in a future update. I have purchased the theme anyway as I really like it. I have however come across an issue with the site when smooth scroll is turned off. Do you have a ticketing system to report issues or should I just state it here?
You’re welcome
Here’s the forum: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ if you want to let me know the ticket # after opening it, I’ll check it out for you as soon as I can.
Cheers!
Great! Here is the ticket number: #202755
Thanks
Will check it out soon!
Background video in Nectar Slider doesn’t work on iPad Hi, the background video doesn’t work on ipad (nectar slider); it only shows the cover image. How come? I’ve correctly uploaded all the formats required (webm, ogv, mp4)
Hey Kaizeen,
This is covered in the video tutorial for the slider here: http://youtu.be/FLU9Pxo_RD8?t=6m36s
Video BG’s can not be autoplayed on mobile devices due to data usage reasons and therefore the cover image is used in its place.
Cheers
Hi there! Salient is very modern and beautiful theme.
