Hi. If I wanted a FULL background image on the blog-page, which ALSO made the top-navigation transparent, and which was still when scrolling, how would I achieve that?
Currently I only have this as a header, and gray background. Pls check: http://kommunekommunikation.dk/kommunekom-blog/
However, I would like the top menu to go non-transparent when scrolling (like default), but still keep the background image still.
I know what I mean?
correction-function on this site is dead. I meant of course “You know what I mean..:”
Hey Peter, currently it already appears you have a Full width BG header with the transparent header – are you attempting something else that I’m just not clear on or have you sorted this one?
Cheers 
I wanted the gray area to be the bg image as well. And that the background image would not scroll but be fixed?
If you’re referring to the secondary navigation bar when you say “gray area” than that would take some custom development. When you’re asking for the BG image to be fixed – is this what you wanted?
#page-header-bg {
transform: translate(0px, 0px) !important;
-webkit-transform: translate(0px, 0px) !important;
}
(add that into the custom css box of course)
OK- I have now built a page on which I can display what I mean (and I believe many other of your customers would like this feature as well!). Now: On the page I wanted the video (or image) to be NOT only on the row, but covering the entire page. That means replacing the header, body background. Also I wanted the background to be fixed and not scrollable. Do you know what I mean now?
Ah, that makes more sense now! Unfortunately this wouldn’t be possible without some custom development – but you could kind of get away with this effect with css alone if you just want an image. (Add this in your page css box in the visual composer view)
.container-wrap {
background-image: url('your-image-src.jpg');
background-attachment: fixed!important;
}
ok. So lets say its not possible to show it underneath the menu… is it possible then to “fix”/ hold the video still, with no scrolling?
The css I provided was a workaround for an image BG only – handling a static video BG in the way you’ve proposed would require a bit of custom development
Ok cool thanks. Cant wait for version 4.5 to be released 
hey btw – if I DONT want to use the header, but still wanted the header to be transparrent, which code would I then need to use?
OK I found out myself – and now I have like ALMOST what I wanted. However, I still have like 10px from top to row. is that default?
I can assist you to remove that – anyway you can give the URL where you’re working on this? http://kommunekommunikation.dk/kommunekom-blog/ doesn’t see to be it
Ok – sorry regarding the header… I found out how to make the header transparrent – WITHOUT using the theme header. However, now BOTH the big (main) header is transparrent (which I wanted) but also the small header (on scrolling) goes transparrent.
Now: How do I ahieve EXACTLY the same header-effect that you have when using your header, but without using the header?
Hey again – if you’re going to use css of some sort to set the header transparent, you can use this to make sure it goes solid when scrolling down
body #header-outer.small-nav {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
When I set my starting-colour to white, the text goes gray until I hover and it turns white. When I set it to black/dark, the text goes white and the hovertext go dark. How to change this? I just want the text to be white-white on the start-menu (the transparent white is ok though)
Hey!
The transparent nav has a lower opacity for the starting color before hovering – add this into the custom css box located in your theme options panel:
header#top nav > ul > li > a {
opacity: 1!important;
}
Cheers
Hi. >but its fine with lower opacity. My problem is that it kind of swaps the colours. If I choose white – it gives me a greyish colour before hovering.
Ill try and explain again. I choose WHITE as the “starting header colour”. And it surely does give me white on hover. However, when I dont hover, the text is gray. And when I change the font colour to white I get the white starting text colour I want, but then the menu text is white at all times and un-readable on the white background…
(I think something is wrong in the code to be honest)
Also – I just found out that the Nectar slider font is H1 and not the Nectar-font I set in my Salient-panel. Some mess up in the CSS (not caused by me as I dont dare to work in the core files) – Ill open a ticket
1. There is an opacity dim on the starting menu color as the demo shows http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/ that’s where the “greyish colour” is coming from and the only way to remove that is by setting the opacity to 1.
There’s a difference between the starting color and custom color you may be setting which is causing the text to remain white after the BG color fades in. If you just open a ticket I’ll set the colors correctly for you
2. The Nectar Slider doesn’t use an h1, it uses an h2 – you don’t have a nectar slider on the page you’ve linked, I only see a page header which does indeed inherit the h1 set in the typography options.
Ok Ill try
Hi,
Can you please send me the PSD for the logo for the Clean all purpose. Hrach@hotmail.co.ukThanks
Hey Nectar. I have a big question for you! When using the Milestone, how do I make a number 50-100 ? It being 1 number severely handicaps the amount of uses that one stylish code offers!
Hey theljmusic! There’s no restriction in place for the amount of numbers in a milestone – in every instance on the live demo they’re even used in 2-5 length numbers. Can you open a ticket in regards so I can see your URL / log in to check on things if necessary?
Cheers
Sorry I think there was a misunderstanding. I mean, I’m using the milestones as a way to show pricing and one of my services is $50 to $150. Is there any way I can show this with the milestone?
Ah, I see now. Have you tried to just place two milestones in the same column next to each other? Possible through the shortcode to avoid having them stack or you could do a nested row in a column to have two small columns next to each other
Hi,
After I updated the init.js, the website is still not working on IE8. So we have created test website for you to investigate and all information are in ticket I had created.
Best Regards Patrick
Hey Patrick, thanks – i’ll take a look on your test site as soon as I can
Hi nectar,
I would like to use the “meta below thumb w/ link on hover” style but with the hover effect of “meta on hover + entire thumb link” showing just the ”+”
Is is posible?
Lot of thanks
Hey javiwee,
Unfortunately there’s no way to accomplish this without modding the template files – specifically the shortcode-processing.php file located in the nectar/tinymce directory. Some css will likely also need to be modified since you’re attempting to combine two separate styles.
Cheers
no problem, thanks anyway, & congratulations for your awesome work
You’re welcome & thanks a lot
Hey I’m trying to add a text block but it seems to be glitching. Doesn’t show me a block area to add text to: http://i.imgur.com/YqY0UdR.png
Only lets me see the content box if I click on the Text tab.
Hey theljmusic,
This was an issue that WP 3.9 brought which Salient v4.0.3 fixed (it was released the same day as WP 3.9) – Please update your theme to get the fix
Cheers
Hey Nectar. It’s still not working. My Wordpress is at 3.9 while my Salient is fully updated.
Here’s what it looks like now, the text is white.. so I have to highlight it. Also when I try to put a code into it using the nectar short code, it doesn’t work. What to do?
http://i.imgur.com/obhlinQ.pngHave you confirmed it’s not a plugin conflict and your update for Salient was clean by deleting the old version before uploading the new?
If so, please allow me to log in to see what’s causing the issue
Great theme!
When I’m trying to add a slide to the home slider feature, the upload button for images appears for a second and then disappears. The same when trying to edit existing slides.
Please help!
Thank you for all your assistance,
Asara
The path to the issue is: Dashboard -> Home slider -> Add New (or edit existing)
Thanks Asara!
Can you ensure a plugin is not causing the issue by deactivating your current ones for a quick test? If that’s not the case please allow me to log in to your setup to check on it – just open a private ticket in regards http://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Hi there. I’m trying to create a two column list in the theme page editor. Eg….
NAME: Andy Peck
with multiple lines underneath… but I just cant get tabbing across to work or find any info other than indentation for the whole line. Ive also tried creating a row with two columns but that makes the columns either too small or wide and when responsive scaling kicks in then it doesnt shrink as ‘one completed unit’ but instead wraps with col 1 on top and all of col 2 underneath.
Seems so simple and yet!!!!
p.s. I’d also like to control the line space/height as well as colors & weight
Help please. BIG CHEERS ?Andy
Hey Andy,
You could either use custom css to keep the columns intact on mobile display i.e. not stack as whole columns or just make a custom class to place on div’s inside a text block to make them a have fixed widths and allow them to sit next to each other. If you can allow me to log in to your admin panel I’d be glad to set up an example for you
Cheers
Big thx. Very kind of you.
Ive already set up an ABOUT ME 2 dummy page where ive tried (and failed) to do what im looking for so that seems the best place for you to show me the example. How do I give you access privately without sharing my login details with the world?
My personal email is andrew.peck@me.com
Cheers Andy
Just sent an email

Hello! I have problems with the visual editor!!! Not work good. I tried to check all the plugins but not understand why happens this.
thank you so much!
Now work good with the last update!
Glad to hear
Cheers
Is there a way in the CSS to direct alll “External Project URLs” to open in a new window versus tab?
Thank you.
Hey mcurrierth!
unfortunately this would take modding the template files as CSS alone can not alter this functionality.
Cheers
Hi There, Do you recommend a plugin for integrating a fade feature to the slider?
Hey Donatelli, unfortunately there’s no plugin out there that could do this – it would need to be custom development or simply using a different slider that has a fade effect.
Cheers
is there a shortcode to pull news snippets into the home page?
Hey stackr,
there blog related elements are “recent posts” and the actual “blog” element. Both are available through shortcodes or the page builder
ok thanks, do you have a cheat sheet/list of shortcodes online anywhere?
You’re welcome – all of the shortcodes are available through one click in the “nectar shortcodes” button and all page builder elements are available in the visual composer tab.
Here’s tutorials on both:

Question: I tried to search but did not find the answer here…:
I seems that only the Nectar slider makes the header transparent? Is there a way to make rows making the header transparent as well?
Hey again!
The page header (which can be set only any page, project or post) can also make the nav transparent effect activate. You can configure your page header via the Page Header Settings box at the bottom of every edit page screen.
Cheers
sorry… got it – thanks!
Glad to hear
When turning on the transparent nav, I get a semi-white strip showing??
http://designbull.co.uk/Hey designbull, i’m seeing custom css you have added that’s setting that:
header#top {
position: relative;
z-index: 9998;
width: 100%;
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9);
}
Thanks – I removed and all fine! (I think that was an custom css for an old fix from a previous version)
Great to hear
Cheers
Hi,
I have home page slider set to boxed layout, with slider image resize off….But the arrows are still full width how do i get them to be in clodse to where the slider actually ends?
thanks
Hey stackr,
That’s the standard behavior of the Home Slider for boxed – if you’d prefer the buttons to stay inside of the container, check out the Nectar Slider. If you needed to continue using the Home Slider and move the buttons in it would take some custom development since there’s JS in place to slide them in and out in boxed mode when scrolling down the page
Cheers
hello, I would change the order of my posts portifolio, he always puts first the last job posted, I would like to freely rearrange the work on the cover of my portfolio. Can you help me please? thank you
Hey, you this plugin for that http://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/
Hi I love Salient theme and I am really interested in buying it but I tried to view the live demo on both iPad 2 and iPad 4 and the live demo crashed Safari browsers on both iPads. Now I am worried to buy the theme and invest considerable effort to customize it and have issues with it later on. Can you please see if there is a fix and try it on your end
Thanks
Hey ktawfik,
I’ve done a good deal of testing on the iPad mini (which yields no crashing) and the 4th gen should be even more powerful so it’s very weird to hear that report. I’ve tested on browser stack for the older generation models but also can’t get a crash from loading the demo: browserstack.com
When you were checking did you navigate to the direct demo link outside of the ThemeForet iframe? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave
Cheers
Hiya, I have created a 2 col row and added 2 new classes to them (below) I have also added a graphic (red line) to the left column (on the .columnLeft class).
However I am having trouble getting the columns the same width with the white gap in the middle looking central with the graphic, could you have a look at: http://www.webteam.cornwall.nhs.uk/our-story/ and tell me where I’m going wrong please (css below)
.columnLeft {
text-align: right;
padding-right: 80px;
background: url(http://www.webteam.cornwall.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/line_standards.svg) right 15px top 50px no-repeat;
background-size: 10px 1200px; }
.columnRight {
text-align: left;
padding-left: -100px;
}
Add this in as well
.columnLeft {
background-position: right;
}
.columnRight {
margin-left: 0!important;
}
Done that thanks, not made any difference, it has to be the width of the left column I think as the line needs to be pushed right, just a but stumped on how to do this…
Change it to this instead and then just adjust the right columns padding with css a little bit less:
.columnLeft {
background-position: right!important;
}
.columnRight {
margin-left: 0!important;
}
Perfect thank you buddy
You’re welcome
