Hi TN,
Somehow when I make a portfolio item, the title along with the ‘4 squares’ on the left and the arrow(s) on the right are getting covered by the (main) menu bar. Is there any way to solve this? Should I ad a spacing before the items title?
I also wondered if it’s possible to somehow remove the menu bar and footer on the home page, so that the entire page is filled with the nectar slider.
Hey hookieoalo!
1. Can you share your URL so I can see what’s causing this on your setup?
2. Add this in the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
.home #header-outer, .home #header-space, .home #footer-outer {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
Hey, still loving the theme! But I tried to add a caption on my top level nectar slide and this works almost perfectly as long as I set the slide content alignment to “right” but as soon as I put it to “left” there is no word wrapping any more and the text appears over the whole image?
Any way I can fix this? Thx a lot!
Hey nadiavonscotti!
When using the left alignment you can use break tags like this in your caption box to manually control the wrapping:
sample text sample text <br /> sample text sample text <br /> sample text sample text
Cheers 
I don’t like that the default font color is so light, but I don’t see how to change that on a global level. Can you tell me how to do this? I think that having this option under the typography section would make things so much easier. Will you include this in a future update? Thanks.
Hey TheRealCaseyChoate,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
html body, html body p {
color: #000;
}
Cheers
Thanks so much!
You’re welcome
1. Is there a reason why I cannot make full width background on the portfolio page? I mean – full width to the left?
2. When I disable the featured image, I cannot insert it else where. Is there a snippet to place the featured image?
3. I have 50px padding on top and bottom, but the row underneath still overlaps the one above.
http://packroff.dk.linux12.unoeuro-server.com/portfolio/kandidat-speciale/Hey Peter,
1. You can only use full width rows when using a fullwidth portfolio layout or else it would have the potential to overlap the sidebar.
2. There’s no snippet for it, you’d have to insert the image into the page via the add media button or image with animation element.
3. You would need to set the padding on the row below/above the one with color to give the space.
Ok. But snippet for the meta-data should be possible, eh?
There is no shortcode for the attributes in bulk – but you could make a similar list via the fancy list VC element and also place the social buttons via the social button VC element
Still love the theme just had a SEO question regarding the theme.
I setup the Yoast plugin with the salient theme but am having issues changing the “Alt Tags” for the images. I cant seem to change the alt tag after building the entire page without go back into my media, changing the image name and then re uploading.
Do you have a quicker, easier, or more efficient solution?
Thanks,
Pat
Good to hear Pat!
Can you open a ticket in regards so I can check on this since it’s not a known issue? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Cheers
Figured it out but thanks for the quick reply.
For other out there having this issue just do the following:
1.) Download New “Salient Theme” file 2.) Update Salient Theme on your website 3.) Deactivate “Visual Composer” plugin 4.) Update Visual Composer Plugin 5.) Reactivate 6.) Done !
Hey, glad to hear
Hi Themenectar,
is there a way to use a full width nectar slider as a photo slider with CAPTIONS at the BOTTOM? I set it all up but obviously when adding content to the “Caption” area of each slide and then choosing position: left bottom – it still thinks the heading and buttons are there so the caption looks like it is placed in the middle of the slider.
I tried to add a custom class “xyztest” to each slide, and thought I could address it via adding custom css, but I don’t know how to address just the content in the slider ….
I tried ”.xyztest container content {padding-top:200px;}” but it doesn’t work…. please help.
Thanks!
Hey theroyalvideographer,
Can you share your URL so I can assist with this further?
Cheers
I’ll head over to the support forum as the site is still “private”.
Sounds good – just let me know the ticket ID once you’ve opened it
Hello Nectar,
Quick question: is it possible to achieve something like this http://www.adidas.co.uk/climachill with salient?since I’ve seen a menu section in the salient demo where multiple nectar sliders was mentioned, but there was no link pointing to the demo page.
It’s basically a vertical navigation website composed of multiple vertical sliders linked somehow by a “dots” like navigation on the left side of the page.
Thank you!
Hey a-max!
That kind of side panel navigation that scrolls to various sections wouldn’t be possible without the use of a plugin as of now unfortunately.
Hello,
Is there a way to import this page, i can’t seem to get it from the import file. I want to know how i can have different background colours on my columns. The Visual Composer applies it to the entire section, not half.
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/love-at-first-sight/Thanks
Hey mdearden,
Here’s the tutorial on creating those type of columns: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpJWWM4BAbo and that page is included in the dummy data file – it’s called About Me – Creative

When I add a blog element (standard with sidebar) to a page, the blog automatically gets 9 rows, and sidebar gets 3 rows.
I want the blog content to be 8 rows, and sidebar to be 4 rows.
How can I do that? (I’m using a child theme, so I can modify PHP files, but I couldn’t find which file to modify.)
Note: Since I’m using custom CSS, I can’t use the built-in column system at your page builder to add a 2/3 blog content column, and 1/3 sidebar doesn’t work for my needs.
Thanks,
Hey buraktuyan,
If you can share your URL to the blog page, I can provide the css needed to change the widths without needing to mod the file itself
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar,
I’ve solved it; thanks… but here’s a follow-up question to solve a related problem:
I’ve added a white background and grey borders to the #post-area element. Now, I want to add a high padding-right and padding-left value to the #post-area.
When I do this:
#post-area {
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
padding: 20px!important;
padding-right: 70px!important;
padding-left: 70px!important;
top:-5px;
}
It looks as expected on desktop and iPad; but for smartphones, this padding on the edges takes a lot of screen estate. I want to put an exception for smartphones (to use a lower padding value for right and left.) What should I do?
Thanks,
Hey again! Use this
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
#post-area {
padding-right: 25px!important;
padding-left: 25px!important;
}
}
Cheers
There is anyway to put a mov or video file icon as marker of google map? Thanks
Hey Anatal, you can use any image you want for the marker – but not a video. A gif would also work if you needed animation though
Cheers
Hi Salient,
Love the latest version and ongoing expansion! A couple of small requests for a possible future update
1) Ajax page loading – would make for a very slick presentation I think 2) Nectar slider to allow fade transition between slides
Thanks as always!
Hey Jon! These items are already on the wishlist
Cheers
Incredible
Hey lovely!
Can you help me with some css for my logo? On scroll it resizes but looks weiiiiiiiiiiiiird:
http://www.tonicpit.com/thrive/thanks x
Oh also, is there a blog post carousel? need something for home page – masonry is messy and on standard the featured images are way too big!
Hey ladydekade!
1. Are you still having this issue? I can’t see it looking weird currently – but that could be because i’m on a retina display at the moment. Is it just appearing pixelated to you?
2. There’s no posts carousel yet – but the recent posts element should give you the clean grid you want
Cheers
Hey love!
1. Yep – still am 
Damn you for having retina! – here is a pic of the issue: http://www.tonicpit.com/thrive/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/thriveissue.jpg have tried changing the colours, making web only, different png compression…_
2. Ah no worries The grid is just as nice thanks!
Hey again! Back on my regular PC now and am able to see the artifcating your screenshot shows. It appears to occur just because the nature of the logo combined with browser resizing of the image. You could try encoding it as a jpg instead of a png and if that doesn’t work – just remove the shrink effect on the logo by opening the init.js file and changing this:
if (logoHeight >= 40 && logoHeight < 60) shrinkNum = 8; else if (logoHeight >= 60 && logoHeight < 80) shrinkNum = 10; else if (logoHeight >= 80 ) shrinkNum = 14;
to just be:
shrinkNum = 0;
Cheers!
You’re awesome thanks Hey I sent a message about a client issue ,did you get that? xxx

Okay sounds good – just let me know i you’re sending to themenectar@gmail.com or the contact form on ThemeForest
gmail sent last night mate
Awesome – I’ll check it out now
Hi, first of all, apologies for my bad english. Your work is amazing, i purchase your theme some months ago and i can be more happy with it. But obiously i’m here because i’ve got some problems with the lightbox and share buttons…
1- I use the lightbox (with Nectar slider) to show a picture with a button that says PLAY VIDEO and put a link to a youtube video or Vimeo, the problem is that I can not show the video with the size i want, is any way to change the size?
2- I don’t know why, but when i press the PLAY VIDEO buton, the Youtube videos doesn’t show the maximize button and if you want to see a larger format video you must go to youtube, this not happens with Vimeo, any ideas?
3- In addition the mobile devices when you press the PLAY VIDEO button, displays a little thumbnail of the video that forces you to hit again the play button, how can i fix that?
4-At leastThanks for implementing google+, but I’ve always had problems with share buttons, when I put the shortcode share nectar in the bottom of the article, up and down counters stop working, solution? Thanks and congratulations for the job, this theme is simply amazing! Website: http://www.60fotogramas.com/
Hey icosound,
1. You would need to modify the prettyphoto.js file at thecase 'youtube':section – since the plugin is what determines the size.
2. It seems that the player prettyPhoto uses doesn’t provide that for Youtube but I’ve noted to investigate further
3. Mobile devices don’t allow the autoplaying of videos for data usage reasons so the user will be forced to press play.
4. As of now you can only have one set of sharing buttons per page/post – but this limitation might be lifted in future releases
Cheers
Hi friend!
This is a pre-purchase question–I tried searching this discussion area for an answer, but can’t seem to find one.
Is it possible to have the header navigation not be fixed and scroll with the page? I’d prefer to have the header stay at the top. I found one older post where you provided code, and I added that to the demo via inspector. It made the header navigation stay at the top…but it also broke the header.
Just curious to know if this is possible!
Edit #1: I should clarify that this breaks the theme in boxed mode.
Check out this screenshot: http://take.ms/vS0ov
Though some really funky things happen with that snippet in full-width, as well. Check out this video: http://take.ms/ahoX6
Really curious to know. I feel like Salient is the perfect theme I’ve been searching for, but I’m hesitant to spend $55 if this is an issue.
Thanks!
Hey bunnystack!
What snippet did you use? When simply setting the header to position: absolute, there should be no extra gaps created on the right hand side.
Cheers
Howdy! This is the snippet I used in the Inspector of a few browsers:
#header-outer { position: absolute!important; }
Most likely just also need to add
body {
overflow-x: hidden!important;
}
Hello there!
Thanks for the awesome theme. It’s my first time using more than basic wordpress features so I’m stuck with something which is probably very simple: how can I remove the icon-salient-plus from the thumbnails and increase the font size of the work-info displayed in the middle of the thumbnail of my portfolio?
Many thanks!
Claire
Hey Claire!
1. Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:.portfolio-items .col .work-info i {
display: none!important;
}
2. You can adjust the font size of that via the h3 selector in the typography options tab.
Cheers
Thanks for the quick reply! I have just changed the h3 size repeatedly (and saved the changes!) but I can’t see any difference, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong… :/
You’re welcome! Could you share your URL so I can take a look?
Thanks again for the quick reply, I can see the changes now! I think it just had to do with my server taking its time… Sorry!
No worries, glad it’s sorted
Recent projects:
How can I overrule the limit of: - 12 projects on the project page and - 9 projects in the recent projects widget?
Hey marcosimons,
1. There’s no limit of projects you can have using the portfolio element – are you referring to something else?
2. You’d have to mod the widget in includes/custom-widgets/recent-projects-widget.php
Cheers
Hey Nectar!
I’m trying to put the slider above the main header(top), just for the Homepage. It would look like this: http://www.junglecitystudios.com/Please tell me your theme can do this!??
Hey theljmusic! Unfortunately that would require some custom development at this time.
Hi – I am experiencing an issue with the Custom CSS feature within visual composer. I click the top right button that says “CSS” and the dialog box to input the custom css never loads, it just stays stuck on the loading animation. I’ve donwloaded the latest version of the theme and replaced the WP Bakery folder with the newest files, but this did not seem to correct the issue. Any thoughts on how to fix? Thanks!
Hey tonypantello!
Did you also replace the theme itself with the latest version i.e v4.1.1 and ensured it’s not a plugin conflict?
Cheers
Hi – here’s an update: I updated the theme and this did not solve the issue. I have since confirmed that this is a plugin conflict, specifically with the mega menu plugin. I will contact them, but do you have any suggestions besides that? Thanks!
Hey again!
What’s the name of the mega menu plugin? I could try and check with the author of Visual Composer if there’s any known conflicts.
Cheers
Hi team, I am trying to change the background of my page www.drawbridge.com.hk as you can see there are still white area for which I struggle to change. Could I share some advice from you please?
Many thanks Victor
Hey Victor,
Enter this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel: .home .container-wrap {
background-color: #2b2b2b!important;
}
Cheers
works perfect. many thanks!
Here you go
.page-id-1259 .container-wrap {
background-color: #2b2b2b!important;
}
Note that you could also turn each row type to “full width background” to accomplish the same thing without css.
Cheers!
thanks vm!
You’re welcome
Hi
Your theme is fantastic Thank you so much for sharing it with us!
I am sorry to say but I can’t figure out how to do the nectar slide.
I think I flowed all instrucctions – htaccess, wp-config.php, convered the videos as you suggested and where you suggested, folowed your video tutorial and still … Probably there is a very small mistake but I can’t find it.
Can I have some help, please?
This is the result of my effort – http://theartbook.eu/
Thank you,
Best,
Prolet
Thanks so much Prolet!
It seems you’re using the Home Slider instead of the Nectar Slider – to use the Nectar Slider you need to change the page template back to default in the page attributes box located on the right hand side of your edit page screen and then place the Nectar Slider through the Visual Composer element or shortcode
Cheers
Now I understand why your nickname is Nectar Always sweet and giving, even in the weekends! Thank you for your time! Highly appreciate it! ... It didn’t work before is not working now either! Sorry!
oooppsss…. My Visual Composer was disabled and also I needed to update it! Now all will be good. Thanks again
You’re very welcome Prolet Glad to hear you got it sorted!
