Hi Nectar. Is there anyway to apply color overlays to the header images used in the Portfolio items? Same for Nectar slider. It would be great if we could set a color or gradient and opacity on top of an image instead of having to set this in Photoshop, etc. Thanks.
Hey again Joe,
It would take some custom css – if you can show me a mock up of what you’re looking for I can assist 
Cheers
Hi, the padding top for the first row/element that comes under the navigation does not work properly. For example If I set Padding Top as: 90px and Padding bottom as: 90px I see that the top 90px gets cut off a bit by the Navigation. Therefore in order to make it look right on desktop I have to use maybe 130px padding top to make it look equal to padding 90px. Now this I don’t mind this fix however when viewing the site on mobile then the padding is all different.
Whats wrong with the navigation? I have turned off Shrink navigation when scrolling. Still does this.
Hey jeanius,
The first row in each page is indeed tucked under the nav slightly to accommodate the shrinking effect = however if you have that off it shouldn’t do that. Anyway you can share a URL so I can assist?
Cheers
Hey again,
That’s actually a bug – Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel to sort it for now prior to the next release:
.container-wrap, body #portfolio-filters-inline.first-section {
margin-top: 0!important;
padding-top: 0!important;
}
.full-width-section.first-section {
margin-top: 0 !important;
}
Beautiful work! Do you have an html version of this theme?
Thanks ecnrip79!
There’s only a WP version as of now.
Alright, thank you for replying
You’re welcome
Hi Nectar. A few questions please. 1) Regarding the Recent Projects element with Title Overlaid, is it possible to remove the date that appears? 2) Also, is it possible to replace the date with the Category name instead? 3) I noticed that the zoom affect is not working. Is there something that would be causing this? 4) Is there plans to update Font Awesome to the latest version? I assume in the next update, but not sure how far off this will be. Thanks as always!!
Hey Joe!
1. Add this into the custom css box:.portfolio-items .col .work-info .vert-center p {
display: none!important;
}
2. You can use the project excerpt input in your project configuration box in each edit project page
3. Can you share your URL so I can see?
4. The latest FA changed it’s naming schema which is the only reason it’s not already updated – still looking into the best way to handle this
Cheers
Thanks as always. Regarding Items 2 and 3, it seems that the Project Excerpt is not getting displayed on the Title Overlaid. With the zoom effect, I’m seeing the following repeated errors on the page, Uncaught ReferenceError: TweenMax is not defined (init.js around line 6179…). I tried disabling most of my plugins. It’s on a test server at the moment. Anything else that I can look for? Regards.
Hey again!
1. Are you on the latest version of the theme? Also is it only not working in the recent projects carousel? I just double checked on my end and it seems to be behaving as expected.
2. TweenMax is loaded at the bottom of the init.js fille – you can search for it there to ensure it exists in the file. Also check to see if you have any minification plugins services that might be interfering.
is there a quicker way to change the background color than adding css to each page i’ve added it to salient main css but it won’t take so i’m stuck doing it manually.
body .container-wrap {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
Should work in the main custom css box in the options panel – if it’s not please allow me to see your URL
CheersVery interested in purchasing this theme. Just had a quick question before I do. Can the full width portfolio be paginated? Is it possible that the portfolio elements be posts and their thumbnails instead? For instance, if I had a collection of posters that I’ve found online and wanted to showcase those, could I create posts for each, and have those make up the grid? Thanks for any insight.
Hey Josh,
1. Yes – there’s regular pagination and infinite scrolling offered.
2. Each project (which is a separate post in the portfolio post type) makes up one of the thumbnails seen on the main projects page / Visual Composer portfolio element
Cheers
Are there any plans to add structured data microdata/schema markup to Salient? This is probably my biggest concern about this theme. I love the functionality, but other themes such as Enfold are providing detailed microdata markup for the following: hentry, SiteNavigationElement, CreativeWork, breadcrumbs, webpages, WPheader, WPfooter, blog, image objects, WPsidebar and Person.
IMO this would be a huge addition to the effectiveness of the Salient theme.
Hey iqmdigital,
this is an item already on the wishlist
Cheers
Awesome! Thanks for the response.
You’re welcome
Is there any way you can look at my PHP error logs? I’ve installed a plugin on my site and it seems like the theme is overriding a lot of this plugins settings… http://www.firsths.tv/media/messages/
Hey jasonstewart24,
There’s no way I can see your PHP error log from just checking the URL – I would need server access. Can you start by letting me know what plugin is giving you an issue and name some specific settings that aren’t working?
Cheers
Hi team!
Thank you for this theme, I just bought it and it’s great! I have a question though: I need to have the theme in French, as it will be for a French audience. For example, on my blog I don’t want any “Read more” below an article, but “Lire la suite”. Could you tell me how to change the language please?
Thanks!
Thanks, did not think of checking the FAQ before, sorry
Have a great day!!
No worries!
Cheers

Hi there Are you able to help I want to change the labels on the homepage “Recent Work / View all work”
To other titles, where can I do this?
Hey WiseUpMarketing,
You can change the text for that in the portfolio options tab of your Salient Options Panel.
Cheers
Request next update ,, to add Load More post in blog
Hey wongsamar! There’s already the option for infinite scrolling – but if you mean an actual load more button – I’ll add that to the wishlist
HI ,I want to make request if you can show us how to do the translation for the web site to different language ,I tried codestyling-localization plugin but then i found out that you need to do some work manually if wp version is higher than 3.5.1,can you help please ,am kinda stuck at this point and I need to make the website swedish
http://produforum.luckan.fi/wordpress/thank you.
Hey ART_pieces,
There’s a basic write up here: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/faq/2242 – Can you elaborate a bit more on what you’re referring to when you say “you need to do some work manually if wp version is higher than 3.5.1” – when translating the theme it doesn’t matter what WP version you have.
Cheers
Adobe Typekit: is it possible to use my Adobe Typekit Kit ID for fonts?
Hey belushy,
Yes – but you’d have to add the typekit script manually in the template and define where to assign the fonts with css or via plugin.,=
Cheers
Hi, First of all..what a bad ass theme! Love it!
But I run into 2 questions: 1. I like to make a sidebar where I can add images, banners or subscribing to newsletters. Like on this site, see the right sidebar widgets. http://lewishowes.com/podcast/jordan-harbinger/2. How to make a sticky sidebar?
Thanks! Deuce
Thanks Deuce!
1. You can place img tags into a text widget and use plugins for the newletter/other things you might need.
2. As of now there’s only the option to have a sticky sidebar on portfolio pages – which is an option available in the portfolio options tab in your Salient Options Panel.
Cheers
Hi mate,
Could you please advise me how I can change some text in the default portfolio sortable filter (the dropdown one)? Currently it says ‘sort portfolio’ and I would like to change this to something else (sort tutorials).
Also, is there a way to automatically remove the excerpt text for portfolio items? I don’t put anything in the excerpt box but it still shows the date even when nothing is there.
Lastly, the portfolio style I have is: ‘meta below thumb w/ links on hover’. The issue is that as these portfolio items all lead to an external link and there is no need to have the ‘view larger’ button. Is there any way I can remove this or change it to something else with another function such as ‘view page’ or something similar?
Thanks for your help!
Hey paul19!
1. You can configure this to say whatever you need in the portfolio options tab of your Salient options panel
2. Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.work-meta {
display: none!important;
}
3. Use this in the css box as well
.portfolio-items .col .work-item .work-info .vert-center a:first-child {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
Awesome, all worked perfectly.
With my third question, is there any way I can change the ‘more details’ text on the button to say ‘view content’?
Also, I just noticed that my portfolios are not showing properly on mobile devices. There seems to be massive white spaces between each portfolio item and many seem to be missing..
I will send you the url of the page to your email.
Lastly, how can I reorder the portfolio items? They seem to be automatically shown based on the date they were created.
Thanks again.
Glad to hear Paul!
1. You’d have to change that in the file shortcode-processing.php file located in the nectar/tinymce directory – just do a search and replace for “More Details” .
2. Please let me know which email you’ve sent the URL to
3. https://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/
Cheers
Hey, great thanks!
I sent my url to themenectar@gmail.com
Please let me know what I can do to fix.
Thanks
Thanks! Can you open a ticket on http://themenectar.ticksy.com so I can log in and check on that page? I don’t see anything jumping out on the front end.
I have opened a ticket. Please get back to me as soon as possible.
Thanks
Hi, just quickly, I also found that the down arrow on nectar sliders only shows if the transparent header option is also checked.
Can I have this down arrow without having a transparent header?
That shouldn’t be the case – can you let me know the ticket ID?
Cheers
Here it is: Ticket: #234352
It is a private ticket.
Hi, I am still waiting for a response to my issue as that page is inaccessible on mobile devices.
Also, I need to make a custom class for a contact form and wish to add a custom class to the salient button shortcode. How would this look like?
I have no idea and was wondering if you could quickly provide the solution. I contacted formcraft about how I could use the salient button as the popup button for the contact form and they sent:
The shortcode would be -
This will apply the class custom-class to the salient button. You can now use CSS to apply styles. You can add the CSS to Styling -> Custom CSS.
Do you understand what I need to do? I know its only a quick solution but I have no experience with classes.
Thanks again.
Hey Paul,
Are you trying to simply change the contact form submit button to look like a button shortcode?
Cheers
Hey mate,
Yes that is what I am trying to do. I find the theme looks best when all the buttons are the same.
Additionally, as I referred to before, I need to change the popup button (the button which shows on the page saying ‘get in contact’) – which then opens up the modal contact form, into a salient button.
Currently I have to use the formcraft buttons which are much different to salient so it does not look right at all to use anything but a salient button as the popup button.
Formcraft told me the solution would look something like this:
”[formcraft id='1' type='popup' class='custom-class'][/formcraft]
They said:
“This will apply the class custom-class to the salient button. You can now use CSS to apply styles. You can add the CSS to Styling -> Custom CSS.”
- So I am thinking I need to somehow link ‘custom-class’ to the salient button shortcode? I have no idea about classes so if you could help quickly that would be appreciated.
Thanks again
Hi, Please ignore this question as I have made a few errors. I will reply to my open support ticket with further details.
Hey again!
Sure thing – i’ll wait to hear back from you in regards
Cheers
Great, just replied to my open ticket!
Thanks
Thanks, i’ll be with you as soon as I can
Hi there. I have some question about the megamenu. When I use the css class to enable the megamenu at the menu options, some strange things happens with my menu.
I have a menu with 3 columns, then I used the css class “megamenu columns-3” and the megamenu is enabled, but it acts like it has more columns. When I change it to “megamenu columns-6”, it acts like 3 columns. Very strange.
Here are the screenshots: http://skfotografia.com/diversos/imagens/2014.06.17-theme-megamenu-error-001.png http://skfotografia.com/diversos/imagens/2014.06.17-theme-megamenu-error-002.pngMy website URL: http://skfotografia.com/
Thanks in advance and looking forward your support.
Also, I have another request. I know it’s going to be a pain in the back, but I was using W3 Total Cache Minify without any problems until I installed some plugins, which they don’t fully work with W3 Total Cache Auto Minify. The theme works great, but the plugins breaks. Then I tried to play with the manual settings of Minify, but I can’t get it done correctly because there are too many js and css files. I always get my website broken down when I was testing it out.
Can you list me the js and css files of the theme I can minify without breaking it?
Or, could you teach me a way to minify these files somehow?
Thanks a lot again. I would be grateful if you could help me in my both requests. 
Hey nishikazuhiro!
1. First confirm there’s no plugin conflict – if there is none you can see, one workaround would be to enter this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
body header#top nav > ul > li.megamenu > ul > li {
float:left!important;
}
2. It’s usually the change of order of the scripts that causes issues when using minification plugins – if you can hold the same order as the default everything should work. However, this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bwp-minify/ shouldn’t break the order
Cheers
Hi there again.
1) Worked great! Thanks a lot!
2) This plugin didn’t work. It break the site. How can I establish the default order? Please, help me.
Well, seems like only the css is breaking. I played with the plugins settings and the js files are being minified without any errors. What can I do to properly minify the css?
Hey again!
Is there anyway you can activate it so I can see the css issue with minification?
I’m implementing a video gallery that loads Vimeo files into the same location on a single page. Basically a video jukebox. After much research, I found a great little plugin called Vimeography which was built for Vimeo content, and does a great job of making itself responsive (including touchscreen gestures).
If I understand correctly, Salient takes care of videos generally, making them responsive, and wraps them into iframes to do this. However this conflicts with the plugin which takes care of all its own video needs by me typing:[vimeography id="#"]
The result of this conflict is that the main videos do not appear, see: Trouper Productions.
Is there a way to disable Salient’s wrapping the following around a certain element within a section of a page?:<div class="iframe-embed" />
Or is there another solution you could suggest?
Thanks
Hey Perred!
Yes – you could delete/comment out the section of the init.js file (located in the js folder) that adds the default responsive behavior/wrap. Search for “WP Media Embed / External Embed” to end up at the relevant section – if you need assistance doing this just open a support ticket in regards
Cheers
Thanks ThemeNectar. I posted to tricksy.
Thanks! What’s the ticket ID?
233302 (resolved and closed now) Your tech support helped by providing CSS that removed the embed. Thanks.
Glad you got it sorted
Cheers

Hey noswil93!
Does this ticket apply to your situation? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/128447/search/
Cheers
Hey ThemeSalient, I mean ThemeNectar, 
I purchase your theme long time ago, has been working awesomely, but now:
How do I make a pagination section for a determined amount of pages to look like the one for the portfolio? Is that possible?
The content I want to publish won’t be a ‘portfolio like’ content so I need a bunch of pages. And I really like how you can navigate to the next portfolio item and that would be cool to do in the idea I have.
Thanks guys.
Hey Creativo_MX
Right now that would take some custom development but I’ve noted the idea for the wishlist
Cheers!
