¡hola!
How do I change the sidebar title color? I’ve got the paragraph text color in the sidebar figured out, but would like to change the sidebar title cover site wide.
Thanks Dude!
Hey canook! 
#sidebar h4 {
color: #77cc6d!important;
}
Cheers!
Hello again! Is it possible to hide the featured image on blog posts? I know you can do it with portfolio single items – curious if it’s an easy change on blog posts too?
Thanks
Hey skucenski!
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:.single-post .post-featured-img { display: none!important; }
Cheers
Hi,
I’m having an issue where the images on the slider flash quickly to black after loading. This is happening on two pages. I’m using chrome on windows 7. Doesn’t seem to be an issue on IE surprisingly. Any chance you know what’s going on / how to fix?
http://architectmedia.com/rickshaw/ http://architectmedia.com/rickshaw/?page_id=188Also – I’m gonna put in another request for a sticky footer that will work regardless of the amount of content – I ended up using a plugin, but it’s been in a pain to make function correctly. I saw some comments that requested this in the past, hoping it will be a feature in a future update!
Thanks so much, and fantastic theme!
Hey cmh428! That’s certainly odd – can you remember if it always occurred on your end or if it’s something that started up randomly? Have you also checked to make sure it’s not due to a plugin or one of your mods?
Well I found the problem – the sticky footer plugin!
Is it possible that they conflict because both have a “fade” effect and there is a jquery conflict? It looks like whats happening is that the slider fades in and then reloads.
If possible, I would like to continue using the plugin as its doing what I need it to – any chance you could recommend a workaround? If not, what do you recommend for a solution for the sticky footer
How about some simple css for the sticky footer: (add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel)
#footer-outer {
position: fixed!important;
width: 100%!important;
left: 0!important;
bottom: 0!important;
}
worked perfectly – thank you!
You’re welcome
Hi, Great theme – thank you. Two questions:
1. Is there a way to loose the line that divides the header in the modern transparent theme from the slider?
2. Also, is there a way to hide the search functionality in the header outside of commenting it out in the theme code.
Thanks!!! Sean
Thanks Sean!
1. Yes, add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:html body #header-outer.transparent[data-transparent-header="true"] {
border: none!important;
}
2. Yes: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/52594/search/

Have you any plan on publishing a Salient user-login page (integrated login) in the future?
Hey again, right now that’s not on the wishlist because there’s so many plugins that can do that well and for free.
why after moving site to new server all salient options are on one site, i can’t change anything? plizzzz help me fast, my client is waiting…
i found out that link to js files looks strange ex. ”/wp-contentthemessalientnectaroptionsfields/add_remove/field_add_remove.js?ver=1399567313”, tell me why?
Hey slowix, that sounds like a server related issue – please see this in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/178318/search/
Hello! Which file I have to modify for change the text: Notify me of follow-up comments by email. and Notify me of new posts by email. in the comment form blog ?
Thanks!
sorry! this is a text plugin
No worries
Help and suggestion: You did SUCH a fine job on making the Nectar-video slider so handsome and user friendly. But when adding video as background to a row there are no “look up” buttons, and you have to copy-paste the full URL.
Also there are no Align-functions on the background-videos, which is a shame.
PLUS – you provide an colour-overlay but I believe every one (myself included) would have liked an alpha-option as well.
Thanks again! I love your theme more and more every day!
Hey again!
1/2. Thanks for the suggestions
3. You can control the opacity of the color overlay like this for now:
.video-color-overlay {
opacity: 0.9!important;
}
Cheers
and how about align?
This couldn’t be done without JS work since it’s simply not set up to accept the alignment conditional and css alone wouldn’t be able to handle it.
Hi there. No matter how I try, I cannot modify the size of the image. It displays the original uploaded size no matter if I use the WP edit function, or edit the code myself etc. http://kommunekommunikation.dk/kanalstrategi/ Is this a bug?
Hey Peter! The width/height are set to auto for images so that they can be responsive – if you need to upload fixed size small images give them a class of “fixed-size” like this:
<img src="" class="fixed-size" />
and then add this into the custom css box:
.fixed-size {
width: 20px!important;
}
Ni Nectar. A few questions and requests please. 1) Is there any Drop Caps included in the theme? 2) Is there a way to have a sticky sidebar menu? 3) Would be nice to have a Page Subtitle added for the Portfolio pages instead of just a Page Title.4 ) Please consider a custom JS box, just like the custom CSS section. 5) You mentioned the page Scroller ID plugin, but it would be great to include side navigation element (bullets) on the page to scroll to certain sections. 6) Would be nice to have a side slide-out menu on mobile. 7) Is there a way to display pull quotes within a page? Thanks as always!!!
Hey Joe,
1. Unfortunately there’s no drop cap shortcode built in
2. Only in the portfolio right now.
3/5/6. Thanks for the suggestions!
4. It’s worth mentioning you could technically get away with adding JS into the Google analytics box – just make sure it’s in a script tag.
7. There’s only styling for a blockquote built in, but similar to the drop cap, you probably could find a plugin to add these and more
Cheers

I have a question:
As we can’t update the complete theme to the vewrsion from 17 th of April, and experience problems with the double logo and Composer, after updating Wordpress to 3.9
is this possible to update certain files/folders from the newest version of Theme Salient from the 15th, to remove those problems with Composer and double logo? and to update the entire theme next week?
if it is possible, which files should I update to the newest version from the 17th of April?
Thank you! Martyna
it worked with composer, solved it just this double logo
Good to hear
Now just 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; }
}
Theme Nectar
thank you for all your help, you are stunning.
Relating to the code: because you helped me by logging into the website and fixing the code, does the code from your message still need to placed?
Martyna
I actually placed it for you already
Yes, I have just checked it
Thank you
I have a question: the logo is not sharp, I see that within the code are words like “block” “none” what should I do to have a sharp logo?
Hi Theme Nectar
One question:
something is wrong with the the look of pages that use composer. Each row covers a part of the row above it. it can be seen here: http://www.mmevelo.com/misja/ or on home page with the portfolio items, I guy was working on the lookbook page and removed “the footer margin in the template. I removed it.” plus something esle as well. now the rows go up, for example text is hiding under the photos. http://www.mmevelo.com/misja/ or here: http://www.mmevelo.com/wspolpraca/is it approximately 10-20 px.
What should I change to come back to correct view?
Thank you so much Martyna
Hey again Martyna,
I actually can’t any overlapping on those pages – have you already sorted this? If not please provide a quick screenshot highlighting the area you’re referring to.
Cheers
Hi Theme Nectar
The margin space was sorted out, thank you. It was our mistake.
there is just this thing: the logo issue: “I have a question: the logo is not sharp, I see that within the code are words like “block” “none” what should I do to have a sharp logo?”
Thank you Martyna
Hey again Martyna! It seems you’ve uploaded your logo at a very large size: 1279×629 try uploading it at a size that matches the height you’ve defined for the logo in your header options
Hey Theme Nectar
Thank you for your answer and help. best wishes Martyna
You’re very welcome
Hi, is it possible to put logo on top, and center menu underneath?
Hey webOpium,
Yes, but it would require some css – add this into your Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
header#top nav {
text-align: center!important;
}
header#top nav > ul {
float: none!important;
display: inline-block!important;
}
body #header-outer .span_9, body #header-outer .span_3 {
display: block!important;
float: none!important;
margin: 0!Important;
width: 100%!important;
}
header#top #logo img {
margin: 0 auto 20px auto!important;
}
Cheers
Awesome! The only one problem I can’t disable search icon in the menu.
Also logo disappears when transparent function is enabled, but it gets back as soon as you start scrolling.
Here’s how to disable the search: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/52594/search/
Can I see your URL for the logo issue though?
Cheers
Hi: Is it possible to control the color of the transparent nav text and the hover/selected state of the transparent nav? I’d like the selected page to appear blue and currently it is white.
Thank you!
Hey AmyNYC,
You can set the starting text color for the nav but it’s a global option in the header options tab of the Salient options panel – you can’t change the color on a per page basis without css yet.
Cheers
Is there a custom css snippet I can add to the css panel? All I want to do is make the selected page’s link blue.
Thank you for your help. This is an awesome theme and I’m so happy with it’s functionality, flexibility and design!
body #header-outer.transparent header#top nav > ul > li > a:hover, body #header-outer.transparent header#top nav .sf-menu > li.sfHover > a, #header-outer.transparent header#top nav .sf-menu > li.current_page_ancestor > a, body #header-outer.transparent header#top nav .sf-menu > li.current-menu-item > a, body #header-outer.transparent header#top nav .sf-menu > li.current-menu-ancestor > a, body #header-outer.transparent header#top nav .sf-menu > li.current_page_item > a, body #header-outer.transparent header#top nav > ul > li > a:hover > .sf-sub-indicator > i, body #header-outer.transparent header#top nav > ul > li.sfHover > a i, body #header-outer.transparent header#top nav ul #search-btn a:hover span, body #header-outer.transparent header#top nav .sf-menu > li.current-menu-item > a i, body #header-outer.transparent header#top nav .sf-menu > li.current-menu-ancestor > a i {

Hi there, on your demo theme, you have these cool icons (like the one that is a diamond in a circle) and under the diamond, it says Award Winning Quality Accusantium quam, ultri eget tempor id, aliquam eget nibh et. Maecen aliquam, risus at semper ullamcorper
Where do you insert those elements? I can’t find a short code for that?
Thank you!
G
Hey mrpiano! That’s just a large icon element with a text underneath – the icon shortcode it the only one used and that specific icon is in the steady sets family: http://i.imgur.com/4dBFu9H.jpg
Thank you!
You’re welcome
Hi Theme Nectar, I’m having issues with my Nectar Slider Header and Caption o IE11. On Chrome everything looks fine. Could you help me, please? URL: http://loureirojiujitsu.com
Hey maurinoloureiro!
Open up your functions.php file located in the root of the theme folder and search for this:
<i class="icon-salient-down-arrow icon-default-style"> </i>and change it to:
<i class="icon-salient-down-arrow icon-default-style"> <span class="ie-fix" /> </i>
Cheers
I think you mentioned this to me before – so sorry if I have missed it.
But how do I get my top level page headers to remain transparent but make all the inside page headers be solid please? (eg all the work/portfolio pages)
Rich
Hey, please see my answers here in regards: http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/4363266/comments?filter=all&term=using_page_header&utf8=%E2%9C%93
Hiya, ok thinking about adding this to functions.php
if( is_page( 'Your Project Name' ) || is_page( 'Your Project Name 2' ) || is_page( 'Your Project Name 3' ) ){
$the_verdict = false;
}
However I want to do everything in the child theme so not to break future updates of Salient, however can you tell me, is it possible to add a new file to the child theme called functions.php and use just this snippet within it? I have looked around on the internet and it seems possible to have an additional functions.php so long as you don’t have the same function call names.
If this isn’t possible is there a way to achieve what I’m after my targeting the id in css instead, e.g.
.page-id-1271 #header-space { display: none!important; }
.page-id-1271 #header-outer { background-color: transparent!important; }
.page-id-1271 #header-outer { position: absolute!important; }
Rich
Also when you say replace your project name, I have tried this on this page: http://www.webteam.cornwall.nhs.uk/portfolio/mountain-drift/ and put this in the right place as you suggested:
if( is_page( 'mountain-drift' ) ){
$the_verdict = false;
}
Is this correct? as it’s not seeming to do anything for me
R
Hey, sorry – if you’re trying to only target single projects and not pages use is_single( ‘mountain-drift’ ) instead – also, in 4.0.3 it’s not possible to keep this in a child theme but in the next version it will be so you’ll have to transfer this into the next version
Ok thanks bud, when roughly is the next version out that will support this please ?
The end of this week most likely
Just going through all the menus and came across the Cheatin’ Uh… Made me smile.. That’s all…
Hey martyfin! That message actually occurs from WP itself not the theme you’re using and it can show for a variety of reasons – sometimes when you’re trying to access a page you don’t have permission to.
Bugs after updating wordpress to 3.9.
I’m not using the latest salient version, i dont want to upgrade so it won’t break anything.
anyways, after updating WP to 3.9 tinymce stopped working, that means if i click the pencil icon to edit a text-block, i get a normal textarea without tinymce functionality 
anyone?
Hey orzilca,
Salient 4.0.3 is the only version capable of running WP 3.9 – since WP 3.9 brought a new version of the text editor it’s not possible to get that to work without updating the theme or updating the files needed to get that to work. Did you modify the core files of your theme which is why you don’t want to update?
yes, thats correct.. I’ve changed too much to update :(~
Ah I see – for future reference, try and keep as much of your modding as possible in a child theme to avoid this kind of a situation. As long as you haven’t touched the wpbakery folder inside of the theme, try bringing the new version in from 4.0.3 to get the fix. (Make a copy of your old one in case anything bas happens)
I’ll try, thanks!
You’re welcome
I’ve been trying to get the composition as yo can see in the picture:
http://serialkillers.es/ARCHIVOS/duda_vc.jpgI’ve tried it with both classic (shortcodes) and visual editor, but it’s been impossible to get it. Those blue 1/3 elements create a conflict once you update the page.
Is there any particular way to get it?
Hey cecichavez,
I don’t think VC allows you to nest that deep by default, but you probably could switch into the classic view and manually nest further in with vc_row_inner and then switch back into the visual view.
Cheers
Which classes do I need to edit please to amend the ajax autocomplete?
I want to change the following
1) Background colour 2) Font/text size 3) Icons 4) Divider line
Cheers Rich
1.
#search-outer .ui-widget-content {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
2.
#search-outer .ui-widget-content li a {
font-size: 14px!important;
color: #333!important;
}
#search-outer .ui-widget-content i {
color: #333!important;
}
body #search-outer .ui-widget-content li:hover, body .ui-state-hover, .ui-widget-content .ui-state-hover, .ui-widget-header .ui-state-hover, .ui-state-focus, body .ui-widget-content .ui-state-focus, .ui-widget-header .ui-state-focus {
background-color: #f5f5f5!important;
}
3. Those are added in the /nectar/assets/functions/ajax-search/wp-search-suggest.php file
4.
#search-outer .ui-widget-content li a {
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc!important;
}
Cheers
ok brill works a treat apart from the hover is grey, tried this:
#search-outer .ui-widget-content li a:hover {
font-size: 20px!important;
color: #fff!important;
}
Not working though?
