Is there a way to set up the Blog Masonary Sidebar template manually? When I integrated a RebelMouse feed, it removed my homepage and blog settings. Now the original Blog Masonry Sidebar template I was using is displaying a single column. [link removed] I am wondering how to get it back to two columns and sidebar.
Resolved. I was able to import the Masonary with Sidebar template again and make it an option that was not perviously showing up in the Salient Blog options.
Hey Radishwrangler,
Glad you got it sorted

Hi, I just bought the Salient Theme. Im trying to add a Nectar Slider. I watched the video but it did not help with my problem. I can add slides but I cant seem to add a slide to a Slider Location. Ive created a “Test Slider” location and saved it. It shows up in slider locations but says 0 slides.
When I click on “all Slides” The slide shows up. After reading Salient Documentation and watching the Nectar Video I’m still stumped.
Also when I go to pages and try to add a Nectar Short code it doesn’t give me an option to select a slider just a link that says “Link to Nectar Slider”. It says I dont have any locations set up but when I go to locations it is there.
Hope this all makes sense!
Hoping you can shed some light on this. Thanks!
Hey rhaims2!
That certainly sounds strange – can you open a ticket with your login credentials in regards? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Hi there! Purchased, and love it. Visual Composer is phenomenal too. BUT. I have an ask…
I understand you have the Fullscreen Nectar Slider, and that’s gorgeous. I also understand that, in non-slider rows, you offer full-width background options that can take advantage of parallax imagery. Gorgeous.
Can you now, or in the next update can you consider, giving the rows themselves a full screen option? I can make it full width and play with top and bottom padding until the cows come home, but when I test it on different screens, the results (naturally) vary.
This option would put the theme over the top, in my book.
(regardless it’s a pretty awesome theme!)
Thanks for the great work!
Hey vt_catamount!
Thanks for the suggestion and I can understand the need for this functionality – i’ve noted it for the wishlist

Hi there,
Great theme – am busy building a site and just have a quick question regarding image gallery in VC
I’ve uploaded some images at 515×637 but when I view the pages it seems to be enlarging them to 548×675 (this is me assuming by looking at the code in a browser) and they hence look a little pixelated
Page is here http://storyanniversaryinvitations.co.uk/invitations/half way down the page.
On that is there a quick amend in the code to center the nav links on my images rather than ranged left?
Thanks so much
Andy
Hey Andy!
You could restrict the dimensions by adding this into your Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.flex-gallery ul li img {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 515px !important;
}
Cheers
Hi there, what a wonderful theme!
Could you tell me how I can set a fixed footer height? Now it automatically resizes in height based on the amount of content in the body (on my monitor):
http://www.unbegun.nl/test/het-verhaal/Thanks lfranken!
Use this in your Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel and adjust to suit your needs
#footer-outer #footer-widgets {
height: 100px!important;
}
Cheers
Thank you! But I think I didn’t explain it correctly. The lowest footer, the one with the social icons, moves up at the page I mentioned earlier. So I want the lowest footer to be have a fixed position on the bottom of the screen. Now, its positioned at the half of the page on the page I mentioned on a bigger monitor.
Thank you!
Hey again!
The only easy way to do that would to actually set it to fixed, but then it would remain at the bottom regardless of the page height, similar to the header. If you’re looking for a dynamic solution it would take a bit more work similar to the method described here: http://www.cssreset.com/how-to-keep-footer-at-bottom-of-page-with-css/
Hi
I really want to buy this template. I’m almost convinced.
However, I was wondering if I could add Visual Composer add-ons from Code Canyon. Such as this one:
http://codecanyon.net/item/ultimate-addons-for-visual-composer/6892199?WT.ac=search_thumb&WT.oss_phrase=visual%20composer&WT.oss_rank=2&WT.z_author=BrainstormForceI read that your page builder is based on VC so was hoping I could extend it.
Thanks
Peter
Hey Peter,
I haven’t personally tested with the plugin, but since a lot of the elements are similar there could be some conflicts – if you already own a copy of VC you could also deactivate the salient version in favor of the standalone one.
Cheers!
Hello!
I’ve built my portfolio pages using the visual composer to add photos so I haven’t used the featured image. Is there a quick way to set the featured image to always be the custom thumbnail image i’ve already uploaded for each portfolio page?
I would appreciate your help if a shortcut exists, thanks!
Hey bassel_o!
You’d need to actually call the custom thumbnail in the single-portfolio.php file – you can do so with the following code
$custom_thumbnail = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_nectar_portfolio_custom_thumbnail', true);
if( !empty($custom_thumbnail) ){
echo '<img class="custom-thumbnail" src="'.$custom_thumbnail.'" alt="'. get_the_title() .'" />';
}
Cheers!
Thank you for replying! For some reason i’m getting the code appearing on the portfolio page itself, is there a specific line i need to paste the code in? I’m useless with php 
. While i dont want the featured image to appear in the actual portfolio pages, I just want each page to use the custom thumbnail image as the featured image so that pictures appear beside search results, and for SEO.
Thanks again for your assistance! Cheers
Hey again! You just need to wrap that code in php tags like:
<?php
$custom_thumbnail = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_nectar_portfolio_custom_thumbnail', true);
if( !empty($custom_thumbnail) ){
echo '<img class="custom-thumbnail" src="'.$custom_thumbnail.'" alt="'. get_the_title() .'" />';
} ?>
Cheers
Greetings,
What art dimensions were used in the Mouse Based Parallax video?
DLK78 -
Hey DLK78, the dimensions of all of the images were 1920×750
Cheers
A friendly suggestion for your next update: When choosing the full width header/ menu-bar, the searchfield does not match. meaning, when clicking the magnifyer, the close-cross will apear far from the magnifyer – which will confuse the visitor and will disturb the usability of the site…
Hey Peter,
Thanks for noting this
Cheers
Hi I have a question that how can i move the jQuery UI dislog to the top layer? It’s now on the bottom.
Here’s my site. Like your theme a LOT. Thank you so much! http://www.nihao.com.twHey saggimo!
Where is the dialog currently located or how can I trigger it to see it so I can assist
Cheers
Please help me http://clip2net.com/s/ilOfoY
Hey VitalySky,
Categories will only display as options to select from if they have at least one project assigned to it – if you have items added to them and they’re still not showing, please open a ticket in regards
Cheers
Wondering if you can help me with a quick one, having difficult with the header-resize and would like to have it remain a regular header at a lesser width (as shown in the example) but when I take my site in less width, i’m given the mobile menu (which scrolls with the page).
Where is the CSS to edit that will allow me to edit the size of the screen to suit this?
I don’t understand why my site does not show this as the Frostwave one does. I set my browser to the same width and in my tab I have the mobile menu and in the Frostwave tab, i’m shown the regular nav.
Look forward to hearing from you
Hey danwin7,
I’m slightly confused because the demo also shows the regular behavior of the mobile menu which kicks in at < 1000px – perhaps you viewed the live demo without closing the iframe which caused you to see different behavior happening?
Can you please share your URL so I can take a look to assist?
Cheers
Is possible to use non google fonts?
Hey seomartin,
yes – but you’d need to add them in via font face http://zoerooney.com/blog/tutorials/installing-web-fonts-start-to-finish/ or a 3rd party service such as typekit
Cheers
Hi
I’ve tried to make a support request via your Ticksy page but it isn’t working.
We have just installed your template and are trying to get it to generate the portfolio page (staging.slingshot.com.au)
There are 2 defined portfolio items but they are being repeated. Only closer examination, the portfolio content is being generated by the the_content() call and then being generated again by the portfolio specific code of the template_portfolio.php file.
Can you please let us know what to change to stop the entries repeating?
Thanks, Storm
Hi, also have a second issue of that all the portfolio items have the correct link but when you click through, you see a 404 error page.
Can you please advise?
Thanks, Storm
Hey Storm,
1. It appears you’ve selected the portfolio page template in addition to adding a portfolio visual composer element onto your page – please remove one or the other to get rid of the duplication
2. Have you already regenerated your permalinks in Settings > Permalinks?
Cheers
Ive had salient installed on my server for a while at www.etevents.com. I Just checked today and everything looks great in safari, but for some reason on firefox the text does not appear the right font, and the icons from the theme don’t show up (for example the little arrows next to the drop down navigation, search icon, and the arrow icons that come up next to the call to action buttons) instead of seeing the icons I’m getting weird symbols such as “E002” in a little square box. Nothing has changed recently, have you seen anything like this before? Please advise!
Hey smashbeatmedia,
Firefox blocks cross origin requests for font files for security purposes – and since it seems all of your assets are coming from http://192.163.195.85/~portadec/ – the font files are not getting loaded in.
Cheers
Is there any way that I can resolve this? I have another site running salient on the same server and it appears fine in firefox?
This article poses a few workarounds http://red-team-design.com/firefox-doesnt-allow-cross-domain-fonts-by-default/
Great Theme ! Its also pretty flexible, and you can create original pages from it. I certainly recommend this one !
Also I got a question, maybe kinda newbie… Couldnt remove author name, tags, date, time and number of comments from below title (both single post and blog page). tried a few things, found from googling ( adding css codes or removing things from php pages etc…) but didnt help. can you help me with this? thanks for your effort.
Thanks a lot hiletrnet!
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.meta-author, .meta-category, .meta-comment-count, #single-below-header {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
thanks for reply ThemeNectar, I got some questions.covered most of the part but couldnt find solution to 3 things.
1. How to Remove “Category Archives” when showing all posts under a category
2.How to remove / change “Read More” on blog excerpts
3. How to edit category list like this: (to give a specific height and scroll to category list) :
(div style=”overflow: auto; height: 100px;”)
Categories list
(/div)
Thanks alot
Hey again!
1. You’d have to edit the index.php file to remove that wording
2. Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.more-link {
display: none!important;
}
3. Are you referring to the category list widget? In any case, can you share the URL of the page that contains the list so I can assist?
Cheers
thanks alot for reply amazing support! my sites link: www.hiletr.co …. its the right sidebar category list.
Use this in the custom css box as well
#sidebar div.widget_categories ul {
margin-left: 0px;
height: 100px!important;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
thanks, you make everything so easy thumbs up!
You’re very welcome
For some reason the content in my tables (columns and rows) has a small font that is not matching the body font. I haven’t done anything different except create the tables using HTML. Why is it doing this?

Hey ehong33234, add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
table {
font-size: 14px!important;
}
Cheers
Thank you!
You’re welcome
Hi Again, I’ve seem to had a problem with my websites font size – It was fine until I turned on the ‘call to action’ and now my menu and logo are really small, not sure why..
http://www.matthewdickerson.co.uk/actually i think all the fonts on the site have shrunk
hi I’ve noticed this is something to do with the browser as it looks fine in safari but not firefox.. but it was looking fine before.
Hey drawfox! Glad it turned out to just be a zooming issue.
Cheers
delete
will do
here’s the actual line i inserted in css no pre tags were included.
body .container-wrap { background-color: #fff!important; }
