Hello,
I’ve installed the theme and I like a lot. The best theme I’ve worked with so far. However, there’s are 2 problems.
1. I don’t see any button shortcode in my visual composer. No call to action buttons or normal ones.
I am editing a portfolio page and I want to do something similar to what you’ve done here right under the header: http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266 I’ve set up a full width content row, with red background and a image gallery on the left. On the right I want some text and a button like in the demo, but…
2. I can’t control the left and right paddings without writing html every time. The way it is now, the text box has no padding on the left/right
Hey calin_balea,
1. http://youtu.be/N4mt0lOJ888?t=6m1s
2. You can add column padding through the row settings – have you checked out this in regards? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpJWWM4BAbo
Cheers
Hi,
Whenever I have a double column and place a single image in one side, it is always much smaller than it should be. At first I thought this may be due to padding but when I click the pencil icon for the column there is no column padding option so I am not sure what to do.
Thanks
Hey paul19,
Can you share your URL to the page where this occurs so I can take a look?
Cheers
I have emailed you the detail.
Cheers
Hey – try adding this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.row .col img {
padding: 0!important;
}
Thanks that seems to have worked.
Is there a way to create a portfolio style layout that lead to pages rather than portfolio items?
Here is the page I am talking about:
http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266Is there any option so that i can show pages in this style? So that each item leads to a page?
Thanks.
Hey! Yes – there’s an option for “external project url” in the project configuration box so you can allow each project to lead to a custom destination instead of the standard more details page 
Perfect, thanks for that.
Can I also remove the ‘sort category’ information as well as the current category heading?
thankyou
Hey – You can disable the portfolio filters in each portfolio you place – are you looking for something further?
Cheers
Perfect, thanks for that.
you’re welcome 
Last question,
How do these work on mobile devices? I just checked and it just shows as fully black rectangles. On a desktop you have to mouse over so that the hover effect activates and you can read what it is however on a mobile this is impossible as you cannot hover.
Do you know what I am saying? Can I have an permanent hover effect activated for mobile devices or something?
Thanks
Hey again – can you please provide me with your URL so I can assist with this mod?
Yes, I have just emailed you the url.
Thanks
Hey again – I can’t seem to find a portfolio display from the main menu, can you send another direct url to that page?
Cheers
Hey,
I emailed you the direct link a day ago to your themenactar email address. I sent the direct url, did you get it?
There is no link to that page via the main menu or anywhere else. I am not sure what you mean. The url I sent you leads to the page we are talking about.
Thanks
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.portfolio-items .col .work-info .vert-center *, .portfolio-items .col .work-info i, .portfolio-items .work-info {
opacity: 1 !important;
}
.vert-center {
padding-top: 15px!important;
}
}
Cheers 
Great,
I put that code in and now i can see the name of the portfolio item in a black rectangle. Is there any way I can also have the background color of the portfolio to also automatically show on mobiles?
Sure, add this in as well 
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.portfolio-items .work-info-bg {
opacity: 1 !important;
}
}
Thanks for your awesome help. 
You’re very welcome 
Hi ThemeNectar,
First of all, thanks for making a great template with all the features and custom-options i was looking for!! and of course for the updates!
I noticed an error in your responsive.css when using the “Sticky Sidebar” in Boxed mode. The fixed width of the side-bar overrides the percentage in the responsive.css. When my browser width is between 1000px and 1105px the sticky sidebar drops on the right side. I also found the same error on your demo site: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/portfolio/blackbox/
I’ve added this to the custom css to override it and i’m hoping you’ll change it in the next update:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1300px) and (min-width: 1000px){
body.single-portfolio #sidebar.fixed-sidebar, body.single-portfolio #sidebar {
width: 27.5% !important;
}
}
Keep up the good work!!
thanks
Joris
Hey Joris, good catch! I’ll handle that for the minor release due out shortly 
Cheers
Hi, How do i get rit of the dates that are under the main title in the pictures of the portfolio. I use the portfolio as some kind of menu, and i present workshops trainings as wel in the pictures and that can be confusing, like that’s the date for the workshop. Hope you have a solution. Have you got some css magic to do this.
And what size should i use for a picture in the nectar slider as backup for mobile phones.
Thanks, Thomas
Hey Thomas,
1. There’s an option to disable dates in your portfolio options tab in the Salient options panel
2. Any size you need in a 16:9 aspect ratio – 1280×720 would be fine 
Cheers
Hi,
Is there any way of enabling CSS text animations (like fade-in from left) on mobile? On other websites I’ve used visual composer themes in.. it worked fine, but it seems to be disabled for Salient.
Thanks!
Hey rashadsays,
It is indeed disabled intentionally because mobile devices tend to lag with the effect since it’s bound to a scroll event and won’t kick in on mobile until swiping has stopped – if you wanna turn them on search for:
img.img-with-animation[data-animation="fade-in-from-left"]
In the responsive.css stylesheet and remove all rules around there to bring the functionality back in 
Cheers!
Is there a way for the background videos to play on iphone and ipad? It shows a frozen image right now :cry:
Thank you!
Hey again – please see this in regards 
Hello. If I have purchased this theme a long time ago do I have to pay all over again to make it look like the new versions? Or can i get a free update?
Thanks!
Hey adfierce! You actually get free updates for life 
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
Cheers!
How do I delete, edit and modify Project Categories and Project Attributes. All I can find is how to add them.
Hey palsy1149 ,
you can edit, add & delete them the same as you would blog categories: http://i.imgur.com/8Pn0g0j.jpg
Cheers
Ah, its in the drop down under Portfolio. Gotcha. Thanks!
My ‘Sort Portfolio’ by button is overlapping with the header on the portfolio page. (The header height is set to 200). Is there a way to bump it down ~50 pixels?
Glad to hear you got it! Can you share a URL so I can check out the filter positioning issue?
Cheers 
Yeah, thanks. http://hashtagsebrell.com/portfolio/
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel 
body #portfolio-filters {
margin-top: 50px !important;
}
Thank you. Solved the issue! Your support is always the best.
You’re very welcome 
Cheers
Is there any way to turn the Menu & footer off on certain pages? to basically make a Landing page.
Hey freebord, yes – on the page you desire to do that add this into the css box inside of the visual composer tab
#header-outer, #header-space, #footer-outer {
display: none!important;
}
Hi, Nice theme.
I have a question. I have been having a super hard time with the Ebor CPT … I am not sure what it does… for example, when I click on let’s say portfolio on the Main Menu, it gives me a different layout, and it happens also when I click on Blog… I’m not sure at all what is going on… I have asign the “Blog” template/page for posts and it still happens…
How can I get my portfolio and blog to display the correct templates?
I think this Ebor CPT thingy is messing me up, help! thanks 
Never mind, it was a plugin from another template, thanks….
Hey BandFM! Glad to hear you’ve found the issue 
1) i was wondering, is it possible to get the call to action, possibly at the top of the menu? also is it possible to change the font size.
also to change the font size and size of the frame, i’ll fiddle with the units if possible
Hey Juniormc,
1. You’d need to mod the files for this – the CTA lives in the footer.php so if you wanted it near the top you’d need to move it into the header.php and probably write css to make it work well depending on where you want it
2. You can control fonts inside of an iframe but if you need help with the dimensions please just provide a URL to where you have it 
Cheers
Okay can you assist me with those? hides face http://nine-1.com
Sorry I misread your second question – I thought you wrote “iframe” not “frame” – what frame are you looking to adjust the size/font size of on your site?
okay, i want the call to action at the top, kindda like how you select a theme from themeforest and says purchase theme. what i’d like to do after is change the size of the call to action including the text and button size etc. if not, is there a chance i could at least get the call to action above the header
It’s going to be a little challenging, the TF top banner works by putting the site content in an iframe to easily move everything down, but since you can’t do that you’ll have to manually move the header down to make room. Here’s the start to that – add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
#call-to-action {
position: fixed;
width: 100%!important;
top: 0;
}
#header-outer {
top: 110px!important;
}
#header-space {
height: 220px!important;
}
Okay so I’ll give this a try. Hope that when I do I’ll be able to change the font size and height of the call to action as well. Since I’d be changing the header position would it affect all pages? Like the ones where the call to action won’t be placed. I’ll let you know how it goes when I have tried. Again awesome support!!
You’re welcome! Yes, if the CTA is excluded on certain pages this poses a problem that would need to be solved through custom development or simply adding css in on the pages excluding to bring the header back to the top and reduce the header space 
Hi! This theme is amazing! Works and looks super, theres nothing like it. Love it. But I have three questions.
1. Are you going to evolve the e-commerce more in the future? 2. Is it possible to add a sidebar on product page? 3. Any tips for something I can do with my Salient theme to make it more e-commerce advanced?
Many thanks, keep up the great job!
Thanks marcusalbertsson!
1. Yes, more eccommerce functionality is on the wishlist 
2. yes, there’s an option for that in the theme options panel
3. It depends on what you’re looking for – but there are a lot of woocommerce plugins out there for various features.
Cheers
Hey ThemeNectar!
Unfortunately my galleries are still not loading at: https://cantedpictures.com/blog/black-white-photography/
Despite changing the init.js file to include “HTTPS” requests, the pages are still blank with the following error:
“GET https://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=https://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=https://cantedpictures.com/blog/black-white-photography&callback=jQuery1110032498458749614656_1400694956738&_=1400694956739 net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE”
Please let me know what steps I need to take to rectify this issue 
Thanks again for all your hard work!
Hey again! I’m not sure that’s the reason why your plugin is not loading – the only scripting error i’m seeing is:
ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined
...ng,{easeInOutSine:function(b,f,c,a,e){return-a/2*(Math.cos(Math.PI*f/e)-1)+c},ea... which is coming from the royal slider plugin – do you have any minfication plugins activate that might be causing this?
Hi i submitted an ticket could you take a look i’m really stuck, deleted to much in theme through ftp lost a lot of functionality as wll the whole salient theme nectar menu and can’t reupload the theme. ticket #218434
Thanks, Thomas
I think i solved it it was the blue hat turbo pluggin that stopped the theme from redownloading, know just reinstall some pictures and i think i’m good to go. Let you know if it didn’t work out. Thanks
Yes it’s solved
Hey Thomas, that’s good to hear 
Cheers
There is one feature I’m looking for in a theme, and I’m sold.
Is it possible that the content inside an accordion will be loaded only when opened?
When I have many accordions in one page that contain a lot of data, so the page’s load time would be extremely slow.
Waiting for your reply.
Hey Kfir91, this would take some custom development as all the content on the page will load by default regardless whether it’s hidden in an accordion/tab or not.
Do you make custom work? If you do, how much would it cost me?
Unfortunately I’m too swamped to take on freelance work but you could consult a developer on envato studio in regards 
Hi there, fantastic theme and super impressed with the constant and feature packed updates!
Quick question, on mobile menu, how can you have it so that when you have a menu item that is the parent of a drop down, clicking the word causes the child links to appear, rather than just clicking on the arrow?
I noticed on the ticketing site you mentioned editing the event handler in init.js, I think I’ve found the right line but no matter what I’ve tried I can’t seem to fix it (I’m positively awful with js).
Thanks in advance for your help!
Thanks a lot Phacin8! 
The mod would indeed take place in the init.js file – this section:
$('#mobile-menu .container ul li:has(">ul") > a .sf-sub-indicator').click(function(){
$(this).parent().parent().toggleClass('open');
$(this).parent().parent().find('> ul').stop(true,true).slideToggle();
return false;
});
would become:
$('#mobile-menu .container ul li:has(">ul") > a').click(function(){
$(this).parent().toggleClass('open');
$(this).parent().find('> ul').stop(true,true).slideToggle();
return false;
});
Cheers
Thanks for coming back to me.
I must admit, I did try this initially, but all it seems to do is break the drop down functionality, neither clicking the arrow or word works after this amend.
I tried all manner of combinations on this line, but just can’t quite get it to work the way I want.
Hey – are you sure you’ve pasted it exactly as I wrote it? I’ve just tested and confirmed this should work as expected 
Hi ThemeNectar,
Do you know if I can instal something like scroll iphone page? http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/ Maybe I could buy any plugin or code to add at Salient Theme?
I need put some floating extra menu Icon in large pages, that I have made with “salient”... could you help me, please?
Many thanks from Barcelona!
Pere
Hey Pere! Are you looking just for a single page that has animated scrolling based on menu links or do you specifically need the right hand floating menu with dots to controls the sections?
Cheers
Hi, I need a floating menu with dots (or icons), to control the sections… I have a XL page
with many sections
Thanks again!
If you can have the links in the top header you can simply use this plugin for the animated scrolling http://wordpress.org/plugins/page-scroll-to-id/ 
Thanks, but it is not possible because the header links to others pages… I know this plugin! maybe, do you have other possibilities? Thanks for your dedication!!!
You’re welcome – Unfortunately I’m not aware of other plugins to add this functionality but if you need another menu other than the top to hold the links it might take some custom development for the time being until this gets added into the theme by default
Hi!
Great theme! 1 question tho… your mobile menu looks good but does not test properly on my android phone. the “Pages” expansion works when I click on it but the “Features” arrow expansion does not work. Is this a bug in just the demo or are there some problems with the mega menu for mobile devices in general?
Thanks!
Also, on category pages is it possible to have an add to cart button underneath the product thumbnail instead of having to mouse over the image? I would want this for mobile purchasing efficiency. Thanks!
Hey spiralout1988,
1. I can’t replicate on my GS4 – what android deice are you using to test?
2. It would take some custom css – but it’s possible 
Cheers!
Hi ThemeNectar,
I would like to add some members only pages/content to my site that I’ve created using the Salient WordPress theme.
Are there any plugins that you recommend for this purpose?
Many thanks.
Hey spidermonkeydp
I haven’t personally played with this one, but it seems to be exactly what you need

Hi
Love the theme 
was hoping to create a navigation bar similar the the link below.
http://www.beatsbydre.com/homeyou will see that its slightly transparent and that the banner image shows through slightly – can we do this on the salient?
also they have a mega menu with images – please will you let me know if this is possible with salient?
Thanks 
Hey DNDS!
1. Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
#header-outer {
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.8)!important;
}
2. This would require the use of a plugin like ubermenu
Cheers
Thanks so much 
You’re welcome
