My site portfolio posts appears twice, do you know whats the fix for this?
Hey secinc, check to make sure you don’t have the portfolio template assigned if you’re using a portfolio element ins visual composer or the shortcode on the same page.
Hi ThemeNectar,
Sorry for the long list of requests. By the way, you guys have been very helpful! Can you please help me with the follow requests below?
site is live here urbanworkstest.com
1. Tighten navigation leading on smartphones. Also, make carets white…see screenshot here for details….http://i.imgur.com/MlWCLMp.png
2 When in a project/portfolio page can I have my nav be highlighted to show which page they are on? See screenshot here… http://i.imgur.com/reldor3.jpg
3. Can we make the visited nav be bold instead of regular weight? See screenshot here… http://i.imgur.com/4lstrVg.png
4. This request, I would be very grateful if you cloud help out on. At this stage in my project I’m in need of some custom navigation. Can you take a look at my screenshot and see if this is possible? If so, what steps can I take to complete this? ... http://i.imgur.com/1rwfhY6.jpg
5. Can we bring up the names under team head shots? Also the leading needs to be tighter… http://i.imgur.com/f6mSaYw.png
6. On my site I’ve got a custom png caption, but If I wanted some functionally to go to the next slide that looks like this… http://i.imgur.com/KemTNo4.jpg, what kind of options do I have? I think the carets that is currently on the site now gets lost in dark areas. Can we change colors to the current carets to make them more visible?
7. Is there custom CSS I can add to make all hard breaks have less leading space? The breaks have to much space. See screenshot here… http://i.imgur.com/dJnYbq3.png
Hey LiskaD,
1.
body #mobile-menu ul li a {
padding: 10px 0 !important;
}
a > .sf-sub-indicator {
padding: 10px!important;
}
a > .sf-sub-indicator i {
color: #fff!important;
}
2. Open the init.js file located in the js folder and search for ”//portfolio more details page menu highlight”
3.
.current-menu-item a {
fonot-weight: bold!important;
}
4. You’d need to open up the single-project.php file and add this into the sidebar div:
<?php next_post_link('%link','Next Project'); ?>
5.
.team-member img {
margin-bottom: 0 !important;
}
.team-member .position {
margin-top: -5px!important;
}
6. The positioning would take some time working with the css – but changing the color is easy:
body .swiper-container .slider-prev, body .swiper-container .slider-next {
background-color: #517891!mportant;
}
7.
p {
padding-bottom: 14px!important;
}
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
margin-bottom: 4px!important;
}
Cheers 
6. This worked, but on some of the slides it changes to white. Is this because it can tell if it needs to be visible ontop of dark image backgrounds? See the 4th slide… http://urbanworkstest.com/
Also…
1. Thank you! This worked.
2. I need to add to this request before moving forward with editing the init.js file. My project page has sub project pages (educational, planning, residential, other projects, ideas). Let’s say when I click “educational” which takes me to this page.. http://urbanworkstest.com/educational/ I need the nav to say… PROJECTS EDUCATIONAL ...like as seen here… http://i.imgur.com/w0Tu7QI.jpg Also, when on a specific project page like this one… http://urbanworkstest.com/portfolio/uno-galewood-elementary-school/ I need the nav to also say PROJECTS EDUCATIONAL ...like as seen here… http://i.imgur.com/tDmaNkb.jpg
3. Thank you! This worked.
4. Where would I need to add this code if I want the “Next Project” link to be just under the description text as seen here?... http://i.imgur.com/sPPUAkZ.jpg
5. I was able to tighten the the leading and bring Patricia’s name up, but now spacing on top of the names for row 2 and 3 are inconsistent with row 1. Anyway I can fix this?
6. I’ve got another question for this one. Please see screen shot here… http://i.imgur.com/ht5TB9h.jpg
7. Thank you! This worked.
Hey again!
2. Unfortunately there’s no way to add the subpage directly under the projects like that without custom JS development – the mod I supplied was just to get the projects item to highlight when on a single project page.
4. right above this line: if(comments_open()) { ?>
5. You have rows 2 & 3 set as full width BG and the first set as default for their type – just make them all one or the other for consistency 
6. Please see my response to your other comment in regards
Cheers
Hello ThemeNectar!
Thanks for your help. I’m following up with a few more questions.
2. Regarding your previous answer “Open the init.js file located in the js folder and search for ”//portfolio more details page menu highlight”, I found the folder, file and line of code. What do I do now to highlight the “Projects” main nav link on individual project/portfolio pages?
3. Currently, the main nav active link is bold when you’re on a landing page. However, if you visit any secondary/tertiary pages (like individual portfolio pages), the active link goes back to regular. How can I make the active main nav link bold throughout the secondary/tertiary pages? Also, drop downs under the active links are now bold. We’d like those to be regular.
On the Blog, Is there a way to remove the Comments section in the posts’ meta nav? Ideally, we’d just like to have the meta nav list “By UrbanWorksTeam | Category
Hey!
2. You’ll be changing:
$('body.single-portfolio #header-outer nav > ul > li > a:contains("Portfolio")').parents('li').addClass('current-menu-item');
to:
$('body.single-portfolio #header-outer nav > ul > li > a:contains("PROJECTS")').parents('li').addClass('current-menu-item');
3. Change your snippet:
.current-menu-item a {
font-weight: bold !important;
}
to this:
.current-menu-item > a {
font-weight: bold !important;
}
4.
.meta-comment-count { display: none!important; }
Thanks so much for your help!
One other question.
What are the recommended proportions for the portfolio slider images? I have been trying various sizes/proportions for height and width, but the system seems to crop the image regardless.
For example, the second image on this page (http://urbanworkstest.com/portfolio/instituto-main-campus/) is 1800×830px. The woman on the right should have 20 pixels of space above her head, but the slider window crops that out.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks so very much!
As long as you have the flexible height option active there should be no cropping – but for the size images you have you should make the slider height smaller (set it to around 730) or upload a bit taller images 
Hello!
Thanks for all your help—really, you guys have gone above and beyond for us.
The flexible height option is on for this page’s slider: http://urbanworkstest.com/portfolio/instituto-main-campus/
I tried minimizing the the slider height to 730 with the 1800×830 image, and it really cropped the rendering from the top. I tried uploading a taller image (1800×900), and making the slider height 790. That seemed to work better, but some cropping still occurred. Not sure why.
If we want the slider height to be 765 throughout the site, what image size/proportions would you recommend to fit w/o cropping?
We really do appreciate it all your help.
If you set the slider height to 765 the image dimensions should be around 1800×850 with the flexible slider height on – please let me know how that works
Thanks! I tried it. I think we’re getting close, but the image is still noticeably getting cropped on the top and on the sides. Only the bottom appears to not be cropped. Would an image for your reference help?
Yes, please
– I’m only seeing a few pixels getting cropped on the top in regards to this image http://urbanworkstest.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Instituto3c1.jpg
Thanks for your response!
That image is 1700×802px.
The image I am currently working on is the following image in the slide: http://urbanworkstest.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Instituto-vs6.jpg
It is 1800×850. It gets cropped noticeably from the top and on the left and right sides. We just want to be sure that none of our client’s architecture gets cropped out.
Thanks very much for your help. You guys have certainly gone above and beyond.
You’re welcome!
Are you using the http://urbanworkstest.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Instituto-vs6.jpg in a different slider than the first one which is 1700×802px? If so please let me know where it’s located at so I can take a peek.
Hello! It’s in the same slider—Instituto Main Campus
Hey! Somehow I’m not seeing that image getting cropped by more than 10-15 pixels on the sides – is that about the amount you’re seeing or is it more significant?
Yes, that’s about what we’re seeing. I know it’s not a lot, but we want to give our clients a definitive ratio for future uploads, with the guarantee that all of their image will be visible.
Hey again – try setting the sliders height to 756 instead of 765 
Hello!
I’m trying to remove the quotation marks in the testimonial carousel. I’ve searched the comments and saw this:
return '<blockquote><p>"'.$quote.'"</p>'. '<span>? '.$name.'</span></blockquote>';
}
and change it to this:
return '<blockquote><p>'.$quote.'</p>'. '<span>? '.$name.'</span></blockquote>';
Which I found in the new files, but it doesn’t seem to be working for me. Is it because of the change in the new updates?
Thanks for the help!
Hey wildefranz!
That’s correct – just make sure you’ve changed that in the correct location. If you’re using the page builder instead of raw shortcodes, the file to change is located at nectar/nectar-vc-addons/vc_templates/testimonbial.php
Cheers 
echo '<blockquote><p>"'.$quote.'"</p>'. '<span>? '.$name.'</span></blockquote>';
to this:
echo '<blockquote><p>'.$quote.'</p>'. '<span>'.$name.'</span></blockquote>';
On that file – but yes – that did it. Thank you!
You’re very welcome 
Hi Theme Nectar
I have a question related to the custom layout in composer. I set 1/6 + 2/6 + 2/6 + 1/6 and put photos into both 2/6 parts. the 1/6 parts should remain empty space
but it does not work. I receive the photos one below the other have a look: http://www.mmevelo.com/misja/I have the latest composer version from the newest Salient version
How to fix this? Thank you, Martyna
Hey Martyna! I wrote back to you on your ticket earlier in regards – and when using custom columns make sure to simply the fraction when possible (so enter the 2/6 into the custom layout as 1/3)
Cheers 
aha, ok, I will 
thanks 
You’re welcome 
¡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/
Cheers 
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 
Theme Nectar
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
