@HenryWaterfall I did something similar to this by creating a new custom class that had a left or right hand border on it, however you could use an image like this:
.columnLeft {
text-align: right!important;
padding-right: 80px!important;
background-position: right!important;
background: url(http://www.somewebsite.com/line.jpg) right 15px top 50px no-repeat;
background-size: 10px 1200px!important;
}
.columnleft (or whatever you call it would then have to go in the custom class box of the column it’s affecting.

Hey Rich, thanks for helping out Henry! 
Hi, I’m trying to reinstall the new version of Salient, but I can’t seem to delete the original version. I’m new to this, so I appreciate your patience. I’ve gone into “themes” it shows salient is ACTIVE (which isn’t clickable) and a Customize button. If I click on that, it just shows a preview. If I click on the theme; it shows the version, who it’s by, a customize, widgets, menus, install plugins buttons at the bottom – but NO delete button. How do I delete it to reinstall this new version I’ve downloaded. THANKS
Hey grouettestudi,
You just need to activate another theme first in order to get the delete button visible for Salient

hi.dummy xml data not same demo online site.why?
Hey priam, there’s two dummy data files included with the theme – one for the clean multipurpose demo and one for the modern creative 
Hi again,
I would also like to add a simple 1px divider between two columns of text. From looking at your demo sites I tried using a full width background image with the divider running down the middle. This works full screen but as soon as the browser window is reduced and the layout adjusts the divider still sits in the middle running through the text. How do you add a divider between columns which will be responsive?
Kind Regards,
HWA.
Hey again!
It would be best to simply target the column with css to add the border – you can add a class name onto the column itself for this. Once you’ve done that if you can share the page URL i’ll provide the css 
Cheers
Hi, Thanks again. Got the class added and added my own style. http://sclelections.com/about-scl-elections/ Divider is slightly off centre when you view down from the title and I need to remove it on smaller screens. Any help would be great. Thanks for the great support!
Hey again!
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.right-column-border {
padding-right: 6px;
}
@media only screen and (min-width : 1px) and (max-width : 1000px) {
.right-column-border {
border-right: none!important;
border-bottom: 1px solid #EFEFEF;
}
}
Lovely stuff, thank you very much.
You’re very welcome 
Hi,
I would like to change the toggle default style. Remove the background colour and text colour change. I have successfully done this on the non selected Toggle, but cannot find a way to do this to the selected (default open) toggle. http://sclelections.com/research-strategy/
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
HWA.
Hey Henry!
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
body .toggle.open h3 a, body .toggle.open h3 a i {
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) !important;
color: #6599C0 !important;
}
Cheers
Thank you very much. This has worked a treat!
You’re welcome 
Hi mate,
Great new update.
Having a few issues,
Firstly, I have a nectar button in the main navigation (header) and I have selected accent color. Before this update it showed the accent color (blue) but now it is a green color. Keep in mind that I have already added data override = false – as you instructed me last time. Why is this? How can I get it to use my accent color again?
Here is what I have in the header.php:
2. I asked you a few days ago to check out why my background section is very choppy when I scroll over it. I sent you the url via your email and haven’t heard back.
Thanks
<li><a href="http://www.membertrain.com/get-started" class="nectar-button" data-color-override="false">Get Started</a></li>
^ I forgot to add the pre tags for my button that I have.
Thanks again.
Hey Paul!
1. Just change that to this:
2. Did you email me off the contact form on TF or my direct mail at themenectar@gmail.com?
Cheers
Great that seems to have fixed it.
I emailed you via your contact form on TF. Should I have used your gmail address?
Also, I have various custom codes in the header and footer php files etc, and everytime I update they get deleted and I have to go through the files and manually enter them again. Is there a way I can save these so they are not deleted when I update the theme?
Cheers
I have found another bug/issue.
With the secondary see through button, no matter which color I select for the hover background color, it still shows as the green/aqua color.
I can only get my blue color which I want when adding in a color override (which i don’t want). Here is what my button shortcode looks like when I select the options I want.
[button color="see-through-2" hover_text_color_override="#fff" image="default-arrow" size="large" url="" text="View More Features" color_override="" hover_color_override="#2ac4ea"]
Hey again – I’m confused as to why adding a color override wouldn’t work for you:
[button color="see-through-2" hover_text_color_override="#fff" image="default-arrow" size="large" url="" text="View More Features" color_override="#fff" hover_color_override="#2ac4ea"]
Currently the effect won’t activate unless you supply a default color override as well
Hey everyone!
Salient v4.1 has landed!
This release incorporates a healthy amount of new & exciting features in addition to a good deal of bug fixes. Be sure to check the new home layout on the demo to see a bunch of the features in action 
For a full list of the v4.1 changes please check out the changelog located here: http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html
Thanks for your patience while I wrapped this one up – Cheers!
Did you add blog navigation to this update? (e.g. next or previous posts)
Rich
Hey Rich, no not on the single post page but the next update most likely will get it 
Can I give you a list of a few things I would potentially like adding please?
Sure thing
A few of these I think I have already given to you…
Most of this pertains to adding features to the theme that would allow the creation of an amazing photoblog, I’m particulalrly interested in some automation and dynamic pulls instead of always adding covers and sliders manually.
- Add in the potential to have a header that on refresh shows you a different image
- With above in place instead of adding the image manually each time (like nectar slider now) make the header image be dynamic, eg it can pull an image from the portfolio
- Add in next/previous blog post navigation
- Add in side open menu (off canvas I think it’s called)
- Add in the possibility to have avatars in story covers
Cheers Rich
Some are indeed on the wishlist already but i’ve added the rest 
Thank you, do you think these will be manly addressed in next update?, the photoblog side of things for me is hugely important and I think it will bring another dimension to salient 
Features make there way into the theme based on popularity and practically – some will for sure 
Thanks for the new update looking great
A few questions.
1) How do I add the functions.php file to the child-theme please and what do I add into it… to make the following work…
Remove portfolio heading and navigation and move down under cover image
Adjust the height of the header/cover in the portfolio pages so that in mobile view they are a specific height.
Cheers Rich
Thanks Rich,
In regards to making a functions.php in the child, you just need to create a file named functions.php – no additional setup is needed. Then to overwrite functions you can simply copy the function in – in your case it will be the “function nectar_page_header”
Cheers
Ok will try please can you paste the exact function I need here please and the start line in the original you got it from? I need to basically move the portfolio nav and header down under the cover image – thanks bud
if you’re on 4.1 the lines to copy into the child theme will be 2305 – 2554 
brilliant thanks will give it a go
Ok copied those exact lines it moans there is a syntax errors when I create a new functions.php and paste it in ?? Could you also tell me what I need to change in here to move the navigation and header down under the cover please?
Probably missed the opening/closing tags? Paste this into your blank functions.php http://pastebin.com/2771y0gU
and you’ll be moving this: http://pastebin.com/rJ4BjFaM
Ok brilliant yes the custom functions is working now
regarding the 9 lines of portfolio code: http://pastebin.com/rJ4BjFaM what line should I move it to in the new functions file so it appears under the cover/header image?
Sorry and thank you
Hey – to line 116 
Hey bud having issues with this, tried moving it and it doesn’t work moved the area below it titled ’ //if no category page exists’ and that sort of worked but still left the title in the image. pretty please could you amend the functions snippet I have for me and email it back to me, basically need the controls and the title to appear directly under the main cover image. Thanks Rich
Hey again – here’s the function to paste into your child theme: http://pastebin.com/BysQwc5m
Thank you
i assume once i do this i will need to adjust the css for the colour as it is white at rhe mo
Yes – all further mods should be able to be handled within css alone
Thank you, got a syntax error on line 238 of this function it’s saying that there is a missing
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/webteamc/public_html/wp-content/themes/salient_child/functions.php on line 238
<?php } else if( !empty($title)) { ?>
I have fixed the error as above, however on: http://www.webteam.cornwall.nhs.uk/work/uversity/ the title has moved above the cover image rather tun below it and I cannot see the controls at all, have I done something wrong?
Hello,
I’ve been trying to do this for hours with no success. Can you please tell how do you make the custom layout for the app features on the Portfolio Extended page?
It has 4 rows of a Single Image + Text box, but I can’t add any new rows after the last one, it always sticks together with the last row. What do I have to do to make more rows of Single Image + Text Box like the previous rows?
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
Hey iBoard, if you can share your URL I’d be glad to take a look at what’s going on – also, have you considered importing the dummy data? If you don’t want to do that I can provide the dummy data for that one page for you to paste into your editor for learning or using 
Cheers
Hi there, I’ve used the dummy data, and on the Mobile Weather App page, which I’m editing, I would like to add more features where there’s the icons, features and the tablet on the background. If you find it hard to understand I can capture the screen to show you what I’m saying.
Hey again,
I get what you’re asking now but there is no limit of the number of rows you have in that section – would you want to allow me to log in so I can see what’s wrong? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Cheers
hey there, is there a way to make the header size larger? i’ve got this logo and the text is quite small within the design, however the header doesn’t allow me to set the logo more than 200 height or so, and i really need more to make the text in the logo visible.
sorry i found it face palm
Hey Juniormc, glad you got it 
Cheers!
Ni Nectar. Quick question on column padding. I have a page with 2 columns (1/4+3/4) where I need to add some padding to the right column. I created a class and tried to use wpb_column (padding-left), which didn’t seem to work. Do I need to specify additional elements in the css? Thanks as always.
Hey Joe!
If you can share the page you’re working on I’d be glad to take a look and see why your class didn’t work 
Cheers
Hello,
Please can you help me with the following bug: In Firefox the social media icons i use are previewing 50 times bigger than they should be. They are saved in Easy Social Icon. In Internet Explorer the pages don’t preview a book slider widget that is implemented. Can you let me know how i can fix this issues?
Greetz, Anthony
Hey Anthony!
Since it’s a plugin, I would need to see a URL of the page where this is occurring to be able to assist.
Cheers
Hi, Thank you for your reply. I send you also a private message with a link. Did you saw that one? Greets, Anthony
Hey – I actually don’t see any emails from you, can you perhaps provide the URL through a ticket? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
How did you make the 4×2 photo gallery on the front of the demo site? With the captions and the tracking motion when you hover over? Thanks!
Hey PointPerGame! That’s one of the new portfolio styles that was added in Salient 4.0 – if you don’t have access to them it’s time to update 
Found it thanks! Is there any way to allow these portfolio items to link to specified URLs? Thanks!
Great to hear – and yes, there’s an option for “External Project URL” in your project configuration box 
Can you help and guide me about how I can rebuilt portfolio navigation arrows and square under different style name? currently it is “portfolio-nav” and I tried to pull css codes from style.css. I rename them as “portfolio-nav-2” but I couldn’t manage it well I guess so the hover effect is not working.
Also, How can I change the colors of on mouse over hover effects in certain pages?
Thank you
Hey ekapkin,
1. If you’re altering the class name of the navigation then you would need to also do a find and replace for the old class in the style.css & responsive.css stylesheets to get everything hooked up to your new name.
2. It depends what you’re trying to target – are you looking to alter just the color of links or something else? Everything requires its own snippet 
Cheers
1- I tried to copy each “portfolio-nav” codes and paste them as “portfolio-nav-2” (those which are in style.css, I pasted them in custom css window, those which are in responsive.css, I pasted them in same document and uploaded on server) portfolio-nav-2 elements are now nice-looking and working; however, on mouse hover feature is not working.
2- I want to alter the color of the text – links. Currently links are green (Accent color) when mouse is over them they turn into gray. I prefer them to be gray first then turn green when mouse is over them. Well just in my portfolio pages.
BTW great update! I love it! You always add amazing features so my site never finishes
. I have few suggestions for future, If I may: “Navigation buttons for blog posts ( I used to add them manually however, with last two updates I couldn’t manage to positions them in right place) and “Navigation button element for visual page builder” “in addition to sliding, fade in/out effect for nectar slider” lastly, fancy blog category filter bar, something very similar portfolio filter bar.
Thank you
Hey again,
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
body #portfolio-nav #prev-link a, body #portfolio-nav #next-link a, body #portfolio-nav #all-items a {
color: #27CCC0;
}
body #portfolio-nav #prev-link a:hover, body #portfolio-nav #next-link a:hover, body #portfolio-nav #all-items a:hover {
color: #666!important;
}
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar,

.vc_span3 h2 a {
color: #fff!important;

.vc_span3 h2 a:hover {
color: #2288CC!important;

Hey there
I got my site live and I’m overall a happy camper. I have run into an issue I don’t quite understand.
I set up the site in a subfolder on the server, then after I set up the entire site, I edited the settings in Wordpress to look in the root directory of the web server where an index.php contains some php code to look for another .php file in the Wordpress installation folder. This might be the problem, I don’t know, but I hope you have an idea.
The issue I’m experiencing is that after I changed the above settings I’ve uploaded a new piece of work under my Professional Work category, the Akvavit Chicken specifically, and it displays correctly here. However if you’re on this page:
http://pixelpirate.dk/portfolio/aalborg-akvavit-angel/and click the next button in the upper right corner to get to the next portfolio entry, it goes straight pass the Akvavit Chicken to a WIndowblinds skin instead. It should jump to the chicken.
So my question is, what’s up with the portfolio page there, since it doesn’t know the Akvavit Chicken page is next?
Thanks!
I should add that I tried updating the permalinks without luck.
And that I’m worried that this issue will occur again as I upload new entries to my site.
Nevermind. I have the “Post Types Order” plugin installed, and it seems like I have to re-order my portfolio entries there for it to function properly. Ack. Well, sorted and all fine again.
Hey LasseSalling, I’m glad to hear you got it sorted – sorry for the scare you went through 
Cheers!
Hi ThemeNectar,
Is it possible to have an automatic instagram upload feed to my carousal as seen here … http://i.imgur.com/du2b88L.png on the home page?
Right now I’ve just uploaded instagram images manually to the site.
Thanks!
Hey PairDesigners, as of now this would require a plugin since there’s no integration for instagram by default.
Cheers
Hiya,
sorry 1 last thing I forgot to ask, how in mobile responsive mode (iPhone 5) do I target the height of the nectar slider please it’s 835px in normal mode but how does that translate to mobile or is there a mobile css rule I add of this per page please?
Cheers Rich
Hey Rich, you can actually use the minimum slider height option when the flexible slider height is active on your slider. 
Hiya bud, did that and it doesn’t seem to do anything still left with a 30px white gap at the bottom of the iPhone screen no matter what height I put in the minimum slider height box?
Which page contains the slider, I’ll take a look
just open the website www.webteam.cornwall.nhs.uk on a mobile (specifically iPhone 5) and you will see the cover doesn’t expand down the screen fully (gap at bottom)
Username to login is: ThemeNectar password is: traru2TA (above is just temp will need to delete asap)
I’m seeing that your min height is set to 300 – for what you’re going for I’d say to make it at least 500 but if your goal is to always have it fullscreen, just activate that option in the slider 
Hi Bud, change it 500px but on mobile makes no different as the white 30px gap is still there at the bottom, I don’t want to make it full screen as that isn’t part of my design, can I not target the homepage id and nectar slider in mobile somehow to remove this gap?
I’ve just changed the min height to 500 and can now see the reason it’s not getting bigger is because of your custom css in the child theme:
body .nectar-slider-wrap, body .parallax_slider_outer {
height: 368px !important;
}
body .swiper-slide, body .swiper-wrapper, body .swiper-container {
height: 370px !important;
}
so sorry bud, didn’t realise I had that in there, so just change those 2 values then by an extra 30px and i’m good to go?
yes, or you could remove them or make use of the minimum slider height option instead of messing with the css 
Any update on the update release? 
Rich
It’s out now 
Awesome yeah seen it downloaded and installed already :) some questions coming your way though :) – R
