When activating the “transparent menu mode” – Is it possible to change header/menu colour, so that you have ONE colour on transparency and ONE colour when backgroundcolour on the menu is activated?
Hey again,
the “Header Starting Text Color” option will allow for a different color when transparent, but if you’re trying to set a different BG instead of the normal transparency it would take custom css. Let me know if that’s what you were trying to do 
Cheers
My point is that you only provide 2 different menu-colours: Light and dark. Light for transparent and dark for NON-transparent. But if your image is light-coloured, its impossible to see both menu-texts and logo. It seems that the light/dark in the heading is only for headlines and subheader – not for logo and menu.
Can I make the rezised menu height smaller? I have like a “heigh” logo, so the difference between small and big is not that big…
Hey Peter, search for “shrinkNum” inside of the init.js file located in the js folder to make your edit
Hi, I can’t figure out how to close the gap between the nectar slider and the portfolio under it. On my page, I have the nectar slider (with video background set to full width of the page) and a portfolio under it, but for some reason there is a white gap between the 2 elements. I would like them to stack together without any gaps. Thanks
Hey siumaiii,
Have you tried to change the row type holding the Nectar Slider to “full width background”?
Cheers
Is there anywhere I can see what “code” the different font types have? So I dont have to ask you each time I want to change a fonttype?
Also, can I swap the menu background colour with an image?
Hey peter4576,
1. You can check out the bulk selectors inside of the fonts.php located in the css folder.
2.
#header-outer {
background-image: url('your-img.jpg')!important;
}
Cheers
Hi. Sorry – I should have specified: Menu background colour as in “small-nav” menu and not the general menu. I tried different approaches but I dont succeed… header-outer.small-nav etc. but I must be missing something.
Are you using the transparent header option? If so, your rule just might be specific enough – anyway you can share your URL so I can take a peek?
Cheers
I am using the transparent header and want to keep using the transparent header. Its only the background colour on the small navigation (and where transparrent is not available) I want to use a background image.
Its for www.kommunekommunikation.dk but there is nothing up just now…
I didn’t realize you had the header resize effect turned off – that’s why the snippet wasn’t working. Use this instead:
#header-outer:not(.transparent) {
background-image: url('your-img.jpg')!important;
}
Cheers
ii want to buy , i want to make a automotive blog like http://goodrides.co/ or http://www.speedhunters.com/ thx cant it make sticky header like that?
Hey andika_ei,
You can have a sticky header as the demo shows, but there’s no way to have it sticky on;y after scrolling a certain distance like your URL shows without some custom development.
Cheers
In the sliders of the home page, how can I do to open the links in a new page?
Hey tcr48,
if you’re using the Nectar Slider all you need to do is add the class “external-button-1” or “external-button-2” to your slide
Cheers
Sorry but just want to be clear. This theme uses a custom version of Visual Composer which means we can’t get the actual functionality of the latest version of VC. Is there any way you can show s to remove the custom version of VC so that we can use the real version?
Hey figgy!
If you want to remove the Salient VC, open the functions.php file, search for ”# Nectar VC” and remove that section. Please note that you will of course lose all of the Salient’s custom elements within VC if you do this.
Cheers
Hi There. So I have done that. Unfortunately The plugin doesn’t work at all once thats done. Is there somewhere else in the code that is disabling the VC plugin?
That’s the only section calling the Salient VC – anyway you could allow me to log in to your setup so I can check on it for you?
http://themenectar.ticksy.com/If so just let me know your ticket id
Amazing Theme. Beautiful. The YouTube tutorials go into great detail and make things so easy! I am blown away by the ease of producing a website in less than a week!
This is my first WP Theme website. My only prior experience has been my WP blog so getting used to the interface for using a theme wasn’t bad and with the tutorials, it was a slam dunk.
Thank you so much for making this so user friendly. Plus I have a dynamite website to showcase my work.
Feel free to check out my new site: http://www.kathleenkrucoff.com
Hey kkrucoff, thanks so much for your kind words It’s great to hear how much you’ve been enjoying the theme!
Cheers!
How can I change the payment methods within woo commerce (checkout page) from the default grey background to #ffffff?
Also same goes for the Place Order div?
Thanks. I changed the general background using your help above, but there are some lagging elements I can’t work out =D
Hey genteelllc!
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:html .woocommerce #payment, html .woocommerce-page #payment {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
Cheers
Hi ,
Sorry for posting so many comments, but I really need your help. Can you look at my previous post? with the lines deleted from the superfish.js, it is still going to crash the IE8, is there a way to remove that javascript file with affecting the content of the website, aor some other quick fixes i can at least make the website stable and not crash in IE8.(I try to call the IE8 to render as IE7, and html5shiv.jsm but none of them worked) I know few younger generation use IE8 nowadays, but there are still lots of users work in financial institutes use IE8. Please help, it will save my day.
Best Regards Patrick
Hey again,
Check my response to your previous comment. Superfish is not the issue, apparently there’s something else causing the issue – please add your login credentials to your ticket on the forum so I can log in and try something for you.
Also, the theme has no chance of running on IE7 because that version is way too old and doesn’t support most of the techniques used in the theme just in case you were trying that.
Cheers
Hey, we got an bug (maybe after update to 3.9). The header logo is doubling itself after scolling down for no reason. Is the bug already fixable?
Hey Freddy912, this was sorted in Salient 4.0.3 which was released the same day as WP 3.9
Cheers
Hi, sorry I’ve got another question. Since I’ve updated to the latest WP and Salient, the theme’s own lightbox is no longer working. (The following problems occur in both Chrome and Firefox so I don’t think it’s a browser issue.)
- Lightbox seems to be working on pages, but the navigation arrows are missing.
- Lightobx doesn’t work at all on posts and portfolio items, for either individual thumbnails or galleries. Instead the media file or attachment page opens.
- On the previous Salient version, links to videos (Youtube, Vimeo etc) opened the video in a ligthbox, this no longer works either.
I’d be happy to use a lightbox plugin instead, the problem is on the few pages where Salient’s own lightbox is working I end up with two lightboxes layered on top of each other. 
Is there anything I need to do settings-wise to get the Salient lightbox to work across all post types? Or alternatively, is it possible to disable Salient’s lightbox completely so I can use a plugin instead?
Many thanks for your help.
Hey filleboheme, anyway you could share a URL so I can see these problems occur? There was a known issue in previous Salient versions where the lightbox arrows wouldn’t display but the latest version sorted that and this also was only a Chrome issue. The other two issues you’re reporting are not known bugs so it would be best if I could see them in action to see what’s up.
Cheers
Hi, thanks for looking into this. Here’s the page with the lightbox working but no arrows – http://patti-rocks.com/?page_id=132 Here’s an example of a post where the lightbox doesn’t work – http://patti-rocks.com/?p=707 And here’s a portfolio item where lightbox doesn’t work on images and video links anymore. http://patti-rocks.com/?portfolio=sas-band-appearances-as-guest-vocalist
Wondering if it’s the WP update messing with the Salient lightbox. I’ve heard of people having similar issues using other themes with 3.9….
Thanks again!
No problem!
1. Do you have any plugin active that’s also loading prettyphoto? The markup in the lightbox on http://patti-rocks.com/?page_id=132 is not what the theme is setting.
2/3 The theme never automatically set lightbox links on standard WP galleries or images added with the “Add Media” button. If you want a lightbox gallery/image use the image gallery element located inside of the page builder (visual composer tab). If you need help setting up an example i’d be glad to – just open a ticket with your admin credentials http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Cheers
Hi, I think I figured it out. I don’t have any plugins active that are loading any lightboxes. However, the mystery lightbox with the missing nav arrows is loading on all pages that are using the Nectar full width sections…regardless of whether the actual gallery / thumb is inside a full width section or not! So it seems that the broken lightbox is somehow being triggered by the Nectar shortcode being present on the same post / page. Does that make any sense at all?
I’m trying to prevent the lightbox from loading but I can’t really get rid of the full width sections as my design is based on them. Any thoughts on how these two elements might be related or how I can prevent this? If I can get rid of that lightbox somehow, I could use a lightbox plugin that works and it would solve everything….
Many thanks again for your help.
Hey again!
Anyway you could supply me a log in via the ticket so I can test this out? (there’s no known issue combining the two elements)
I’m really struggling to achieve the footer I want, any chance you could log in and fix it please? I need 2 cols 3/4 1/4 full width on the background colours but with the content in each in line with the site text not full width
Hey Rich,
This could only be achieved without custom development if you used a BG image for the two tone colors you want and just leave the footer alone otherwise.
Hmmm ok the 2 tone image won’t work as a background image as when it expands or contracts the text slips around the background image – looks silly also I have turned on my footer control via the admin panel and set 2 widgets on it, but the footer is not showing up at all am I doing something wrong?
It turns out you had a rule in your custom css box hiding the footer – removed that for you
Scrolling doesn’t work correctly in Safari. Any word on a fix?
Hey urshan,
You need to view the demo directly outside of the ThemeForest iframe at http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/ – also Safari does perform the worst of all browsers with the smooth scrolling effect, so if you want you’re free to disable it in the Salient options panel
Cheers
Hello how do i remove the following from appearing on the shop page:
Shop Showing the single result
Hey pabsdiablo,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.woocommerce-result-count {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
Hi thank you for the reply, i was able to remove the item count but i would still like to remove both the word SHOP and the box that sorts the items. Thank you.
Hey again
Add this as well:
.woocommerce .woocommerce-ordering, .woocommerce .page-title {
display: none!important;
}
you’re a legend. can’t thank you enough
You’re very welcome
Cheers!
Just shopping for a theme…
I’m assuming that either the blog or portfolio sidebars can take a navigation widget—right?
Also, can you create a page with 2/3-1/3 columns, where the smaller column would hold a custom menu (using the widgets-on-pages plug-in, perhaps)?
Hey janasnyder,
1. Yes
2. This would be possible through the widgetized sidebar visual composer element – you’d probably just need to use a plugin like this to control on what pages the certain custom menu would get displayed: http://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/
Cheers
Okay, thanks. Salient looks pretty perfect in every other way, but it would be really nice if, in a future version, you’d create a “sidebar secondary navigation” page type that wouldn’t require any extra plug-ins or extra steps for the end client. (I’m trying to decide between Salient and another top-selling WP theme, and this may be the deciding factor.)
You’re very welcome & thanks for the suggestion
Cheers
Hi – I’m using the full-width masonry style portfolio on a page where I’ve put the portfolio in as a nectar shortcode. I would like to change the background color “behind” the portfolio so that when there is an “empty space” between thumbnails it can be another color besides gray. I’m hoping for the custom css code that I enter into the Salient General Options tab NOT in the CSS box in the visual composer at the top of this particular page… the page title is ‘work’...I’ve tried a few different things and have looked in support but can’t find the answer. Thanks so much for your support – you’ve helped me tweak this site into something more than i expected.
Add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
#portfolio.masonry-items {
background-color: #333!important;
}
Cheers!
Hey there. Love the theme and the support. Getting ready to buy a second one for a second client. Question: I regularly need to set up a “weekly schedule page” like this http://crossfitlamesa.com/classes/. I put this one together using columns but really wanted more of grid style design. Unfortunately, the table plugins I’ve used don’t seem very responsive when viewed on an iPhone. Any suggestions?
Hey psteffek!
The drawback of tables is that they tend to be less responsive – if you want to use them please just supply me a URL so I can see it in action to try and supply some quick css to help
Hi,
I’m still using version 3.15 and today I created a new gallery post but on my Blog page (Masonary Full Width) in the item’s box – under the title and above Read More I get this:
gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0;...
Something to do with WP gallery – I can’t figure out how to get rid of this. Is this is something to do with WP 3.9 fiasko?
Thanks, Beata
Hey Beata!
You just need to update your Salient version to sort this issue (it was solved a few releases ago)
Cheers
hi,
I havee and other issue, I have problems with scale text, I set up the font for headings in the salient font menu, an it works well under the 1080px screen but over 1080 pxls they grow up, and I dont know how to fix it.
check the image https://www.dropbox.com/s/irgag3d5yk3w6sq/ERROR2.jpg or try here scaling over 1080px with this link http://www.themakingof.com.co/home/well is already the opposite situation, 
sorry, over 1080 its ok, but under 1080, grow up,
Hey lasperolas, I actually am not seeing this behavior on my end – it appears to scale normally, being the largest on large screens and progressively getting smaller when shrinking the window. Are you still having this issue?
yes its still the same. I try this in PC chrome, ist probably the browser?, it is probably about upgrade the wordpress to 3.9?
Can you let me know what you have the Nectar Slider heading set to in your typography options tab? If that’s set to what’d you expect please allow me to log in so I can see what’s going on http://themenectar.ticksy.com
ok Im trying updating the salient theme to 4.0 I talk to you later whats going on, if I can’t set up the font I told you 
, thnx
Sounds good
Cheers!
