HI There, Thanks for your reply to my previous comment. Am having problem i don’t i think am doing right. i actually cloned one your provided page called Home landing page using as my static page the problem is when change this to default template from home-slider only its crashes. i mean its freezes the page and when i open i gain its works soon as i click the title its freezes. i want to use the nectar slider instead of home slider, don’t kn ow what am doing but nectar slider looks interesting, if possible let me know whats the difference between two. Cheers
Hey aryanebert,
Can you share your URL so I can see the page freezing? The difference is that the Nectar Slider is a lot more flexible and offers enhanced responsive & touch support. It can also be used on multiple pages, where the Home Slider can only be used on one.
Cheers
HELP!!! I cleared my cookies and the custom CSS for one page that took me hours to build disappeared!! The page content is there but the CSS is blank, how can that happen??
Hey moleacit,
Had you already saved the page before clearing the cookies? Just clearing cookies shouldn’t be able to erase information saved in the database.
Can i use a custom font other than google web font? i want to use Proxima Nova.
Hey JerryCreative, you’d have to load that in manually and then set it using font-face http://zoerooney.com/blog/tutorials/installing-web-fonts-start-to-finish/
I love this theme. One problem though, there is no blog template. How can I create a blog using the default template??? Thanks!
Nevermind, I figured it out!
Glad to hear TheRealCaseyChoate!

Another couple of questions! :big smile:
1. I’m running the salient plugin via a child theme and have the MailChimp for WordPress plugin installed. I’ve placed a short code in the footer and the form works but i can’t change it to my own styling. Calling the id classes of the form do not change anything so I was wondering if I should approach it in a different way? I’d especially like to change the color of the submit button, it now listens to the accent color set.
2. I would like to change the dropdown woocommerce menu background color from black to white. Is there an id class I could call to change it?
Thanks in advance!
Hey CLRD,
1. If you can share the URL I’d be glad to provide some css
2. Are you referring to the dropdown in your header navigation or the filter dropdown on the main shop page?
Cheers
1. The url is: http://bit.ly/1pC3lDQ
2. My bad! I meant the ajax shopping cart drop down.
Enter this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
1.
#footer-outer #footer-widgets .col #mc4wp_email {
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) !important;
border: 1px solid #333333;
box-shadow: none !important;
}
2.
#header-outer .widget_shopping_cart_content, #header-outer .widget_shopping_cart .cart_list li, #header-outer .cart-notification {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
#header-outer .widget_shopping_cart .cart_list li:hover {
background-color: #eee!important;
}
#header-outer .total, #header-outer .total strong {
color: #000!important;
}
Cheers
Thanks! I am at least able to call upon the email field now. The button color however just won’t budge and is keeping its “salient green” accent color. The weird thing tho is that its only playing hard to get in the footer area; when I use the plugins shortcode on a page/post/product etc it listens to the css code without a problem, and I’m able to change the buttons color to anything you’d think of.
Use this to change that color as well
body #footer-outer #footer-widgets .col input[type="submit"] {
background-color: #000000 !important;
}
That did the trick, thanks!
You’re welcome
Hi, great theme! I’ve been using it since end of 2012, and it’s been wonderful (v.3.9.1 I believe). I tried to update it today, and I broke it!
Received error messages like:
Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /home3/yangtse/jadeshyu.com/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/controller.php on line 131
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /.../wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/controller.php:131) in /.../wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/classes/class-wc-session-handler.php on line 63
Any idea what I can do to successfully update? I actually had to delete the update and re-install my old theme via FTP.
Hey jadeshyu!
Did you also update your WordPress and plugins? That error seems to be coming from contact form 7.
Cheers
Whoa, easily fixed! Thank you, and keep up the great work!!
Glad to hear that sorted it
Cheers!
Suggestion:
I dont know if it is possible, but for future update it would be cool with a coloumn divider, so that you offered both horizontal and vertical divider…
Hey Peter, thanks for the suggestion
Hi there. I am setting up this new site, also using your theme (dont worry I bought 2 lincenses).
Question: Is there no way to distribute the “boxes” equally? If I insert tonnes of coloumns in order to try and even it out it will ruin the responsiveness etc.
As you see (on a HD screen) it looks terrible, and I dont want to centre the text. I still want it right-aligned.
http://dyrepraksis.dk.linux63.unoeuro-server.com/kontakt/Hey Peter,
Use this in the Custom CSS box on that page:
.wpb_column > .wpb_wrapper {
display: table;
margin: 0 auto !important;
}
Cheers
Hi,
We have a few issues with our website that we can’t seem to get fixed by ourselves:
- The captions on the nectar slider display each word on a new row/line on Internet Explorer. On all other browsers it works fine expect IE.
- The video background doesn’t display on iPad or iPhone.
- Sometimes the font of the captions in the nectar slider also change automatically into something that looks like times new roman, even though we have used one of google fonts.
Hey offthewallvisuals,
1. Are you on the latest version of the theme? This was a bug in IE11 that was already sorted.
2. http://youtu.be/FLU9Pxo_RD8?t=6m37s
3. Can you share your URL so I can see this occuring?
Cheers
I’m getting constantly this mysterious error to debug.log.
[11-Jun-2014 06:24:19] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: ajax_search in /var/www/customers/..../public_html/wp-content/themes/salient/includes/header-search.php on line 19
The line on header-search.php is:
<form action=”<?php echo home_url(); ?>” method=”GET”> <input type=”text” name=”s” <?php if($ajax_search == ‘yes’) { echo ‘id=”s”’; } ?> value=”<?php echo _(‘Kirjoita hakemasi asia…’, NECTAR_THEME_NAME); ?>” data-placeholder=”<?php echo _(‘Searching for…’, NECTAR_THEME_NAME); ?>” /> </form> <!Structure of that code is same with original only with the exception of change of echo text. Somehow it keeps giving me errors every 3rd second.
Hey jukkalammi,
There’s a typo on line 4 of that file that will cause this when you have the ajax search turned off:
$ajax_sarch = 'no';– this will be sorted in the next release, but for now you can either enable the ajax search in your options panel or change that to say “ajax_search” – thanks for pointing this out
Cheers
Hello ThemeNectar, Very nice theme you’ve got here! Sorry to bother you but I need to know if your theme requirers any coding skills? Do I build everything by drag and drop?
Hey Empan!
Yes, there is a drag and drop page builder – here’s a video that should give you a good feel for the building process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4mt0lOJ888 (no coding skills are required)
Cheers
Hi, I have managed this theme very well up-till now. I am trying to add html code to page. I have managed to add code by using RAW HTML component but it is displaying not high enough to show full. It should be 900 pix wide & 620 pix high. But is showing only about 250 or 300 pix high.
How can I control row height? Thanks
Hey shaf69uk! Can you share the URL where this HTML exists so I can check out why it’s not displaying the full dimensions?
Cheers
Thanks
Hey again!
Since it’s a flash object video just delete this in your style.css
object, object embed {
display: block;
height: auto;
max-width: 100% !important;
}
but note that other flash embeds won’t be responsive anymore.
Cheers
Thanks, That did the trick, works great.
You’re welcome
Perhaps this is a stupid question, but how can I ‘fill up’ my homepage with ‘blocks’ (content)? Do I make a post and set this as the homepage or what?
And also, if I’m building the site on a subdomain (sub.blabla.com), is it easily to realise the site on the main domain once it’s finished?
Hey hookieoalo! I believe this tutorial will explain how to work with the page builder to create content https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4mt0lOJ888 – also the process of changing domains remains the same when using Salient as it is with any WordPress setup: http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
Cheers
Love it. Use it. One question. How can I use multiple images in on Nectar Slider? Similar to this website: http://wyattvisuals.com/
Hey officialninbin!
You can add as many images are you like in the Slider as seen on the demo: themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/ but there’s no fade transition available like the example site you’ve posted.
Here’s the tutorial on it as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLU9Pxo_RD8
Cheers
Hmm. That would be nice functionality. Also, I can’t seem to add another parallax background within the body… It doesn’t work. Only shows white.
Please see this in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/128447/search/
Hi. I was prob a bit naive… But is there a way to add your icon sets into the buttons? This obviously didnt work :0)
[icon color=”#ffffff” size=”tiny” image=”icon-phone”] Akut-telefonen
Hey Peter, there’s actually an option for “Font Set” in the bottom of the button shortcode
Sorry it was for the Call to Action bar – there is no such function on that page :0)
Also – the icon is only displayed on the right of the text, and only on hover…? I wanted it to be displayed permanently
Hi,
I’m wondering if there is documentation or perhaps you know – is there a way to access the styling of the “description” after you click on a location on a google map? I managed to style the map itself, but I’m having trouble changing the height/width of the white box that surrounds the location text. Would love to make the text break and not get cut off at smaller screen sizes. Please see http://architectmedia.com/rickshaw/?page_id=190 for reference.
Thank you!
Hey cmh428!
There’s a maxWidth attribute you can use in the map.js file to define the max width of the info window

I have the thesis theme from DIYthemes installed in WP for a new website that has been under construction. I want to switch to this theme. Will this cause a problem and will I lose information and content I already created when installing.
Hey spaalexis,
Switching themes will always require some work since post types, shortcodes/page builders may not be the same – as far as losing content, the odds are it will all still be there though. (minus any custom post types that may not exist in Salient)
Cheers!
Thank you! I don’t even know what custom post types are but I will try to google it. Thank you for answering.
You’re welcome
Hi TN,
I get these two errors on top of the page when I’m on the Salient General Settings page;
Strict Standards: Declaration of TGM_Bulk_Installer_Skin::before() should be compatible with Bulk_Upgrader_Skin::before($title = ’’) in /home/domain.com/public_html/New/wp-content/themes/CustomName/nectar/tgm-plugin-activation/class-tgm-plugin-activation.php on line 1893
Strict Standards: Declaration of TGM_Bulk_Installer_Skin::after() should be compatible with Bulk_Upgrader_Skin::after($title = ’’) in /home/domain.com/public_html/New/wp-content/themes/CustomName/nectar/tgm-plugin-activation/class-tgm-plugin-activation.php on line 1893
Do you have any idea what this could be?
Hey hookieoalo! These are known warnings with the plugin (TGM) and these show in certain setups when debug mode is set to true in wp-config.php – I’ll be implementing the fix listed here for the next update, https://github.com/thomasgriffin/TGM-Plugin-Activation/issues/122 but feel free to either simply turn off debug mode or add the fix yourself
Cheers
Thanks a lot!
You’re welcome
Hello! I’d like to use custom styling on the Team Member elements in a carousel. I just want to control the typography styling and center the person’s image above their content. Is there an easy way to accomplish this?
Fantastic theme, by the way! Thanks so much!
Hey gajuscd!
What team member styling are you currently using in the carousel so I can assist? (Meta Below or Meat Overlaid)
Cheers
Thanks for the quick response! I’m using the Meta Below style.
No problem!
1. There’s actually a known issue (that will be solved in the next release) where the typography options don’t effect team member names in that style. For now use this css in your Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
body .team-member h4.light {
font-family: 'OpenSansSemiBold' !important;
}
2.
And this snippet as well to center the images
.team-member img {
display: block!important;
margin: 0 auto !important;
}
Cheers
That worked perfectly, thanks very much! Best regards!
You’re very welcome
Your staff Mr. Tahir closed all my tickets without even responding to them! Furthermore, we understand that you have ‘extensive’ documentation for the theme; however, most of that ‘documentation’ is in the form of video tutorials, which has two issues…(1) accessibility (not everyone has high speed internet) and (2) ease of searching for information. You cannot search for just that thing you’re looking for in a video tutorial, whereas this is possible if things had been documented in a PDF.
We also noticed that a large number of people here are posting queries and issues that have been raised before. Had all of this been documented in a PDF, this would not happen. This would also lessen your burden.
Lastly, we would really appreciate courteousness from your staff. Mr. Tahir is extremely disrespectful and discourteous. His answer to almost every single question is as follows “Please put the site live so we can help you further.”
Please see to it that you do not hire lazy staff. This theme (which is the highest selling on this site) could soon turn out to be the worst selling, if Mr. Tahir continues to disrespect your customers, aka us.
We are sure many on this forum will agree with us. We could see that in the earlier days, the response TAT was way better than these days. Also, the response is very muted and not much helpful. We hope the message is loud and clear, and that action will be taken to resolve these issues.
Thanks.
Hey again xfinia, please see my response to your first comment above which covers most of these points – to add to your new statements, the response time on the forum is actually better than it used to be and I can see that’s not the issue with your tickets (as all responses fall within the estimated 24hr turn around), but rather the fact Tahir had requested for a URL to troubleshoot your issues. As mentioned before, I’ll be looking through your open tickets soon and seeing what can be helped without seeing your setup
Cheers
