Can this theme have a 3 column layout like a widgetised column on the left and right and blog/content in the middle?? If so how.
Thanks Jake
Hey Jake, for now that would require the use of a custom template as there’s no built in layout that can allow this
Cheers 
How do you put in a mini slide show please like on this page: http://focuslabllc.com/our-story ‘Office Environment’ section?

Hey,
use the image gallery page builder element – the basic or nectar styles should be what you’re looking for
Hello,
I’m suddenly having problems with the visual composer.
When editing an element nothing shows up in the visual version of the editing field. The text editing area is still intact.
This means we can make new changes.
What happened? Does this have something to do with the newest version of wordpress?
If I need to update the Salient theme will my current settings remain intact?
Hey shirtsmyway,
Salient 4.0.3 is the only version that is compatible with WP 3.9 – it was released the same day as the WP version
Your settings will indeed remain intact after the update.
Cheers!

Hi there,
On my ‘ABOUT’ page there’s a photo of me using a movie camera and whilst this displays well on big screens when it starts to shrink for mobile devices it doesn’t have enough depth and thus looks cut off. Ive tried numerous sizes using ‘single image’ and ive also tried ‘sliders’ with responsive sizes too but oddly it goes the other way.
The issue is that if I bring in a taller image it pushes the image too far down on big screen and looks massive and if I use a slider it doesnt look deep enough on large monitors but is ok on mobile devices.
What’s the best format/size to ensure that images correctly display at the depth I want – specifically when not using full width but 1/2 or 1/4 columns instead?
Cheers Andy
Hey Andy!
Currently i’m seeing that you have a minimum height set on your slide of 500 – which would cause a ton of clipping on smaller screens. I would recommend removing the minimum height in this case and simply checking the box for “Flexible slider height”. This will allow your image to scale perfectly no matter the screen size.
Hi there,
Ok, ill take a look at the main sliders but i’m not sure that helps me on column images or does it?
My main issue is with the depth related to single images inside a multiple column. My ABOUT page has one such example where when I scale the page down the image (of me with a film camera) on the right is too short on small screens. If I make it deeper then it looks massive on normal computers. However, if I use a slider in place of the single image then the reverse happens.
Im happy to keep tweaking but do you have some sort of guide so I can get sizes right using your theme to avoid abnormal shrinking?
Cheers Andy
Hey again!
Since the image in your column is scaling to retain its proportions this behavior is expected since it’s changing more drastically than the testimonial in regards to height. Have you considered removing the image element and setting it as a BG image on the column? This would cause some clipping of the image depending on the screen size, but allow the layout to work better i.e. the image won’t become too small or too tall – it will always hold the same height as the left column.
Sounds like a plan…. I guess ill just need to add some dead space to the left of the image (behind the left column) and then when I add the full width background (which from what I can tell you seem to make around 1700 – 2000 px) I then remove the opacity to the left column so that the testimonial sits on a flat color.
Ill give it a go tonight…. MEGA THX
btw… Im getting a positive feedback on my site and I haven’t even added the core content yet. A few guys on here had seen an earlier link and got in-touch via twitter. So ive of course been biggin up the theme. Not that it needs my help as its clearly doing something others aren’t.
All you need now is a Masonry Gallery, Body color controls (not just header & footer as its a pain in the arse looking for CSS everywhere) and a NECTAR SLIDER ‘FADE’ between slides and then it would be nigh on perfect for moi
Fab work as always Andy
That’s great to hear Andy!
And you can actually add the BG to the column itself, not the row – this will eliminate the need to add any dead space to the image.
Cheers & thanks for the suggestions
Hello!
Is it possible to put a video from vimeo in a layout like this ? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/portfolio-fullwidth-style-three/thank you so much!
Hey markosansa! You could place a vimeo video inside of a full width content row to allow it to span that width, but it won’t be able to have parallax effect or transparent nav.
Cheers
oook! thanks!
You’re welcome
Hi ThemeNectar,
How can i change the colour of the drop down arrow and he bullets on the nectar slider to a custom colour?
best,
Hey RepublicOfMusic,
.sf-sub-indicator [class^="icon-"], .sf-sub-indicator [class*=" icon-"] {
color: #61e3e3!Important;
}
.slider-pagination .swiper-pagination-switch {
border-color: #61e3e3!Important;
}
.swiper-container .slider-pagination .swiper-active-switch,
.slider-pagination .swiper-pagination-switch:hover {
background-color: #61e3e3!Important;
}
Cheers
thanks Theme Nectar, this has worked perfectly for the bullets, but i cant see a change in colour for the down arrow on the sliders?
body .swiper-wrapper .slider-down-arrow i.icon-default-style[class^="icon-"] {
color: #61e3e3!Important;
}
amazing! thanks!!
You’re welcome
I believe you guys have infinite scroll / lazy load on the wishlist, do you have any rough estimate when this might be completed? I currently have pagination in place on the portfolio, but really would like to make it so all the items are in play when using the filter. Thanks
Hey acafella11, infinite scroll is indeed coming – should be about 2 weeks or less. However, that alone won’t cause the filtering to load items from different pages when clicked, the user would still need to scroll down to load the next set of items (which could be done with a specific filter active to only load items from that category).
Cheers
Hi Silent. Once again thx for the great template.
I updated my wordpress with regrets. http://www.plotpoint.dk I have the duplicate logo issue. Ive seen threads about it, but i need a more specific way to fix it. I made a lot of changes in the code so i dont wanna update the theme entirely. I see you have fixed the issue in the latest version: “Fixed duplicate logo issue in WP 3.9 when using retina logo option.” But I would like to know what css code specific i need to change, add or remove?
I hope you can help. THX!
Hey plotpoint!
If you can’t update Salient but need the fix, add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
header#top #logo #retina-logo {
display: none!important;
}
@media only screen and (-moz-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5),
only screen and (-o-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3/2),
only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5),
only screen and (min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5),
only screen and (min-resolution: 144dpi) {
header#top #logo #retina-logo { display: block!important; }
header#top #logo #default-logo { display: none!important; }
}
@media only screen and (min-device-width : 320px) and (max-device-width : 1024px) {
header#top #logo #retina-logo { display: block!important; }
header#top #logo #default-logo { display: none!important; }
}
Cheers
Wow. Thx! Just what i needed! Cheers
You’re very welcome
Morning,
Quick question, if you go here: http://www.webteam.cornwall.nhs.uk/services/ then scroll down to the section ‘User Interface & App Design’ at the bottom of this weather image you will see a small gap (around 30px) how do I get rid of this please? It also appears further up on 2 of the other images
R
Hey – you just need to change the row to “full width background” for the rows holding the images
Bril thanks
Cheers
I started a ticked at the support page, im having a problem with the Social Buttons. Once I enter the short code for social buttons, right away it wont work properly. (see attachment from the support page) Im not sure if you resolve problems from here or there, that’s why im stating it here also.
Hey MP3!
The actual designated area for support is there, but I will answer basic questions/css mods in addition to pre-sale here for everyones convenience
What’s your ticket id?
Do images used by the nectar slider on the homepage only resize down to a certain amount?
When I view my homepage on my Galaxy Note 3, I notice that perhaps only 50% of my image is visible.
How can I fix this? I do have “Full Screen Slider” checked off already.
http://jthotshotting.comThanks!
Hey orcawest!
The Fullscreen option is going to make the slider occupy 100% of the screen height/width and since the aspect ratio changes greatly from a desktop to a phone, clipping is unavoidable. I believe you’re looking for the “flexible slider height” option (added in v4.0). The slider here is using it http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/ for an example
Cheers
Hi. my version of the page builder only has 10 items compared to the screenshots you show. is this a new change or is something wrong? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12108/Image%20095.png
Hey kaipham, can you please open a support ticket with your log in credentials so I can see what’s going on? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Hello guys, I am very happy with the theme so far! My visitors are sending us good feedback too!
I was wondering if you could help us with an issue.
Recently, I tried to deregister some .js files in order to save bandwidth, since I am not using them (at least, I guess I am not).
I am not using carousels, the custom scrollbar and lightboxes. Then, I thought I could deregister prettyPhoto.js, nicescroll.js and carouFredSel.min.js… But when I deregister those files my site does not work properly. Images do not load.
Is there an easy way to prevent those files from loading or that would require some heavy customizations?
Best regards,
Breno
Hey Breno that’s great to hear!!
You’re fine to remove them as you have but you’d then need to remove the calls for them inside of the init.js file in order to not cause a script failure
Cheers
Hi! I really love this Theme, good work on this! I am really happy with this purchase 
I have a Question, is there any way the header can be transparent at all times even if i scroll down? With custom css code maybe or any other way?
Hey JosephNorori!
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
#header-outer.small-nav {
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.7)!important;
}
Simply control the transparency with the last parameter in rgba e.g. the 0.7
Cheers
Awesome! Thank You very much! I have one last question. Is there a way to not show menu on a specific page with custom css?
You’re welcome!
Yes, add this into the css box located on your desired page for this (in the visual composer view)
#header-outer, #header-space {
display: none!important;
}
Is there a way to configure the Salient theme so that when a site visitor clicks a menu button, the page that is clicked scrolls up from the bottom up? Is there also a way to click a button in the header to bring the bottom content up? Thank you, Aviad
Hey Aviad!
If you’re asking about one page scroll the answer is yes but you’d need to use anchor links and this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/page-scroll-to-id/
However if you’re referring to a page transition where a new page would be navigated to but simply animate into view in some fashion, this would require some custom javascript work.
Cheers
Hello. awesome theme so easy to cusotmize.
Just two quick questions : - how can i remove the search engine ? - When i use the photo gallery, the thumbnail are pixelized? How can i optimize the display ?
Thanks, Louis
Hey Louis!
1. Please see this in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/52594/search/
2. Make sure you’re defining the dimensions for your gallery element or you can just enter “full” for the size to show the completely uncropped version.
Cheers
Hello Nectar. 1) Is there a way to reverse the font colors on the Recent Posts and Archive side bars so that the font is black and colored on hover. Basically a reverse of how it is in the demo. 2) For the upcoming update, can the white fill color on the outline buttons be included. That would be a great addition. Thanks again!
Hey joe88!
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
html body .blog-recent .span_3 .post-header h3 a,
body #sidebar a {
color: #333!important;
}
html body .blog-recent .span_3 .post-header h3 a:hover,
body #sidebar a:hover {
color: #27CFC3!important;
}
2. Yes, this is on the roadmap
Cheers
Hello – really love this theme. On this page:
http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266Is it possible to display custom copy (for example a few sentences that appear on the hover) instead of the title and date that appear there?
thanks!
Hey sweenetoad! Your link just leads to the main theme page since you linked from the ThemeForest iframe – assuming you’re talking about the portfolio – yes, you have the option to define an excerpt instead of the date
Hi, we need to make a background color for the hover menu to look like this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12558375/BM/hover-menu.png
Any idea?
Hey mzuker,
This will get you close (enter into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel)
header#top nav > ul > li > a:hover {
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.05)!important;
}
But since the menu links don’t top the top of the header, additional css development would be needed to make it perfect
Cheers
Help me with the rest of the CSS please
You’d need to have the header resize on scroll effect off to handle it all via css easily, is that the case? Can I get the URL you’re attempting this mod on?
lava online dot cl/bm
I tried .cl & .bm but neither lead to a site – can you send me the direct URL and access if it’s under construction through a private ticket? Just let me know the id here
Hahaha it’s lavaonline.cl/bm
Makes sense 
Add this in too:
header#top nav > ul > li > a {
margin-top: -30px;
padding-top: 43px!important;
}
Thanks man. You are the best of the best.
You’re welcome
Hi, I’ve got 2 questions you might be able to help me with. For reference, the site is live here… urbanworkstest.com
1. I’m using the older salient version and I’m almost done designing the site. Is it possible to right align the about me header text? See screenshot here…http://i.imgur.com/oDD92ck.png
2. Is it possible to have a team member image highlighted with color when hovered over the team member image? See a screenshot here of what I’m looking for… http://i.imgur.com/JQSwPdd.png
Ok, so I got #1 fixed by updating the theme. Still interested in if #2 can be answered. Thank you!
Hey again!
Can you share your URL so I can assist with the second item? This would only be easily doable if you had the team member image wrapped in a link
Cheers
url is urbanworkstest.com, Thanks!
Add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel
.team-member a:hover {
background-color: #517790!important;
display: block;
}
.team-member a:hover img {
opacity: 0.5!important;
}
