Hi Nectar,
It looks as if when I’m viewing my site in safari the browser scroll bar is a wider black scroll bar that any other site viewed on safari. Is this part of the Salient Theme? Anyway to change it back to safari’s standard scroll bar?
thank you
Hey again!
You can disable this by turning off the smooth scrolling option in your Salient options panel.
Cheers 
Thanks!
You’re welcome
Hi Nectar. Is there a place in the theme settings to apply custom script code? If not, is there a JS file that I can use. I’m using a third party grid from themepunch that seems to have some issues with your VC. I have a small script snippet I need to add. Also, do you have plans to update the VC to the latest version? Thanks again!
Hey Joe!
You can apply custom scripting on a page by page basis in the VC javascript element or add some globally in the init.js file located in the js folder.
As for updating VC – it’s on the wishlist but will require more testing to see if it will be practical with Salients custom elements to add front end editing in general.
Cheers
Great. Thanks again. It would be nice if there was a custom JS section in the General settings section, just like the CSS box. Also, I love the builder, but it would be great if you could maintain some of the elements and newer features of VC. That would be the best of both worlds. Regards.
You’re welcome & thanks for the suggestions
Just thought I would re add this bud but only the points I cannot fix, it’s not quite what I had in mind from your previous fix
http://www.webteam.cornwall.nhs.uk/mauris-pharetra-interdum-lorem-2/featured image at the top (not the header full width) function, then underneath of the featured image I need the Headline, centred, then underneath that the meta info, then underneath that the likes and social, although would be useful to put the social anywhere I liked on the page
R
The method I described was indeed for moving the featured image above the heading output. I also provided the css to hide the default position so only the top one would show as you requested. However as I mentioned it would then take further css to make the alignment correct but I am unable to provide it all or do the mod for you since it’s probably half an hours worth of custom modding. While I’ve been assisting the best I can with your mod requests, I need to keep it within a reasonable amount to be fair to everyone
Did i put the php in the wring place then? The snipped needs to go on what line to make it correct? Sorry maybe i mis understood
nearly there on this page: http://www.webteam.cornwall.nhs.uk/auctor-consectetur-ligula/ just in the single.php now changing things, please can you tell me 1 last thing, I need to move the likes, social down, remove the underline and move the comments up so all that area falls into 1 block that is centred, I know I’m a pain but this is stumping me a lot now – would solo appreciate a few mins of your time to change around single.php to get this right and them I’m done with the blog section
This page: http://www.webteam.cornwall.nhs.uk/journal/ in responsive mode is still doing a couple odd things,
1) The left and right padding seems to large 2) The header (title) doesn’t seem correctly centred?
article.post .content-inner {
padding-left: 190px!important;
padding-right: 190px!important;
padding-bottom: 20px !important;
}
@media only screen and (max-width : 1000px) {
article.post .content-inner {
padding-left: 10px!important;
padding-right: 10px!important;}
}
Checking out your css box, somehow you managed to reverse the order and revert back to min-width:
@media only screen and (min-width : 1000px) {
article.post .content-inner {
padding-left: 10px!important;
padding-right: 10px!important;}
}
article.post .content-inner {
padding-left: 190px!important;
padding-right: 190px!important;
padding-bottom: 20px !important;
}
it needs to be as you have posted in your comment – I’ve changed it again.
So sorry mate, thank you so much will take a copy as a master in the morning
Still acting up a bit in that on a mobile it appears to have to much padding still – should input in 0 or a negative value? Or should it have a new media query for a smaller max width?
Add this in as well
@media only screen and (min-width : 1000px) {
body .wpb_row #post-area article {
padding: 20px !important;
}
}
on this page: http://www.webteam.cornwall.nhs.uk/journal/ with tat code above in responsive the margin is still huge left and right and the heading isn’t aligning centre either, wish I could get this right and stop bugging you about it 
so sorry
Ugh, that should have been max-width too!
@media only screen and (max-width : 1000px) {
html body .wpb_row #post-area article {
padding: 20px !important;
}
}
Hey it seems like this theme does not support custom links in the menu section…
How can I make some top-level items (nav menu item name) able to rollover to activate the drop-down, but not itself lead to any URL?
Thanks,
Ollie
Hey Ollie, Salient actually does support custom links: http://i.imgur.com/JHMJdwW.jpg I’m also using a handful of them in the live demo. If you’re having an issue with them please open a ticket in regards http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ and add your login credentials so I can see what’s going on
hi~ wpml plugin installed. However, this does not switch the multi-language in mobile menu
Hey planet8, i’ve noted to investigate that for the upcoming release – thanks for mentioning
Hello,
I have an issue with fullscreen parallax background in Google chrome. It seems to work well in I.E and Firefox bot it disappears in Crome, (above 1600px monitor resolution), iv tried to set the background image to both 1920 and 2000 and it still bugs.
Any solution?
Hey Etemmu,
I can’t say definitively without seeing your URL, but does this fit your situation by chance? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/128447/search/
Cheers
that olved it somehow, it glitches abit but now it appears atleast. Maybe i need to make a larger gap between the portfolio/nectar slider and the parallax BG.
Thx alot
Great to hear!
Also another question, When making a portfolio item full width, how can you make the self hosted video full width?
Hey again, can you share a URL where your video is not taking the full width so I can see what’s up?
Cheers
The video is stuck at 640px. This is some of the code in the view source code on the page where this happens:
<div class="row "> <div id="post-area" class="col span_12"> <div class="video"> <div style="width: 640px; max-width: 100%;" class="wp-video"> </div></div></div></div>
Then right after the opening div tag with the class “wp-video”, is the opening tag for the video. This too has inline css set at 640px.
<video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-817-1" width="640" height="360"
Researching this more, it looks like it’s pulling the default width from the media.php file. I’m not sure how change this though :/
Hey again, try adding this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.wp-video { width: 100%!important; }
Will there become more then one header design available?
Hey t1rnanog, yes this is an item on the wishlist already
Has there been a breadcrumbs feature added to any of the updates?
Hey AmieSexyFeetandToes, breadcrumbs would still require a plugin at this time.
Cheers
Is there anyway to turn the call to action box at the bottom of the theme into a newsletter signup? Nothing too complicated, simply a textbox that says Enter your email address and then use the call to action button to submit. Shouldn’t be too difficult, right?
Hey pausethemoment,
it’s possible but would require modding the footer.php file to include your custom form instead of the default text/button set from the admin panel – open up that file and search for the call-to-action div to end up at the right place
Hiya!
Whats the best way to update to the latest version without screwing up the works? Also, could you please provide step-by-step instructions for us noobs? Thanks much!
Hey Donatelli!
You can update by downloading a fresh copy from ThemeForest, deleting the current version you have on your server and uploading the new. I recommend using FTP, but you can use the WP dashboard if you prefer. You won’t lose any of your content or theme settings so don’t worry about that if you were
Loving the theme and wanted to seek some advice about a tweak in how I’m trying to use this.
I’d like to be able to operate my portfolio(s) with a scheduled date/time. In saying this I mean I’d like certain items to be shown with a simple countdown timer and be ‘un-clickable’ when they’re in countdown mode, after-which they are then available to be clicked into for a time before they’re expired and no longer available!!
I’m really hoping this is possible either by way of custom tweak, theme addition or plugin(s)!!
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Cheers Dan
That’s great to hear Dan!
The closest you can get to this functionality would be to simply use the built in post scheduling system to not display your projects until a set date and then use a plugin like this http://wordpress.org/plugins/post-expirator to remove them after your desired duration. The only thing is this method would cause the projects to not appear in the list at all when they’re not active instead of display but be unclickable.
Cheers
Thanks for the reply, will check it out but I wish there was a better way to do this with countdown timer as well!!
No problem
Hi ThemeNectar,
On my NectarSlider when viewed largely on a desktop the image is visible, but when viewed on a iPhone or when the browser window is smaller, some of the image is tucked under the header which is what I don’t want. What can I do so that all of the top of the image stays visible? Thank you!
Hey!
It seems this is due to some css you have in your custom css box – try removing this:
.parallax_slider_outer.first-section {
margin-top: -42px !important;
}
Thanks, I tried taking out this CSS and it worked on the iPhone but now there is a black bar that appears when viewed on a desktop when the window is larger. See screenshot… http://i.imgur.com/DHigPxA.png
Live site: http://urbanworkstest.com/portfolio/university-of-chicago-5710-student-center/
I think this is where the “next project/previous project” was. I ended up taking this function out.
FYI, I’m putting the CSS code back in for now so that my clients don’t see the black bar at the top.
Try just changing it to this instead:
.parallax_slider_outer.first-section {
margin-top: 0 !important;
}
Hey Again!
Now I am translating the web using WPML as you recommended in other comments. Could you please help withs these things?
1. When I translate the portfolio I have got the text on the new portfolio item but not the extra contest, better said the pictures, even If I enable make portfolio translatable at the bottom… Any idea?
2. Would be possible to have another logo for the translation?
3. The new menu added to choose the language is killing my minimalism! 
Would be possible to?
-Make the other language to came on top, instead of below.
-Dont have a black box, just white
-Get rid of the shadow box
-I guess doing this I would have to make darker the font for the other language as without the black background it will be harder to read.I guess all these should be added on the css box for wpml
www.carloscampo.es/salient
4. When I try to use the options for difference languages in directories, to see my spanish translation as carloscampo/es I can’t do it. I created the htaccess file but not luck. Do you think is because I have got the wordpress at the moment on a directory, www.carloscampo.es/salient in my case.
This is what I see on the panel languages:
Choose how to determine which language visitors see contents in It looks like languages per directories will not function. Details
Different languages in directories (http://carloscampo.es/salient/ - English, http://carloscampo.es/salient/es/ – Spanish)This can be a result of either:
WordPress is installed in a directory (not root) and you’re using default links. URL rewriting is not enabled in your web server. The web server cannot write to the .htaccess file How to fix When WPML accesses http://carloscampo.es/salient/es/?____icl_validate_domain=1 it gets: HTTP code: 404 (Not Found)
The expected value is: <!—http://carloscampo.es/salient-->
Sorry for the long post many Thanks again for your help!
Cheers
Hey CarlosCampo!
1. That’s odd – i’ve noted to test for that on my end and see if I can replicate it.
2. This would take some custom development as of now, but i’ve noted it for the wishlist.
3. Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel to remove the shadow:.sf-menu li ul, .sf-menu li li ul {
box-shadow: none!important;
-webkit-box-shadow: none!important;
}
The other color mods can be done through the salient options panel > header options tab. Just choose custom for your color scheme
4. I would write tot WPML to confirm this, but it does indeed sound like the issue is just a directory problem (nesting your install)
Cheers
Hi Nectar. Can I control the size of the images that are shown on the blog page. Right now, I’m just using the Featured Image, but it seems rather large. If I want a smaller size, should I use the Image element within Composer or is there another place where I can set the size? Thanks!
Hey joe88!
If you wanna control the featured image more – use this in your custom css box -
article.post .content-inner .post-featured-img img {
max-width: 50%!important;
}
Cheers
Another question. Is there a way to fixate the testimonial block, because some testimonials have more text then the other, the page jumps up and down. hope you understand me, it’s probably got to do with the parallex.
http://www.energyhealingcuracao.com/It’s almost at the end of my homepage.
Thanks, Thomas
Hey again Thomas!
This is an option coming in the next update
Cheers
Hi Nectar, are there plans to update visual composer with : “ultimate addons for visual composer” https://www.brainstormforce.com/demos/ultimate/
LIke some features. Or do i have to buy it and will it work with your visual composer / nectar addons.
Thanks, Thomas
Hey Thomas!
There are no plans to add that in as quite a few of the elements would overlap, but there shouldn’t be any issues using it other than possibly having to remove the overlapping elements from Salient (the theme might overwrite some of the plugin ones)
Cheers
Help…! ticket #208197
Hey tabishiqbal, I’ll oversee it soon
Couple of questions before deciding on purchasing: 1) Your demos seem to load pretty slow and navigation is slowed down compared to other pages (what causes this?) 2) Is there a way to turn off animation in menus and navigation to speed things up in terms of loading?
Hey anccbellevue,
1. I’m not sure you’re located but the demos load within 2-3 second from a non cached start in eastern US – are you in the US?
2. Yes you can remove the animated header on scroll in the theme options, but that has nothing to do with the overall loading time.
Cheers
