is there any way to have an name, email form sign up box over the nextar slider just like several startup company websites?
Hey niksoftware,
This would require you to use an embedded form/plugin in the caption field of the Nectar Slider
Cheers
Hey Nectar,
Can you help me with something? I considered posting in ticksy but thought this might help someone else in the future.
I took advice from one of your comments and used Image Gallery to display my photos. I have roughly 30 images in the home page gallery at 920px x 615px (450kb each). My conundrum is between the quality of my images and page load times. I hate sacrificing quality, but right now, my homepage load time is very slow, especially for slower connections. http://nickzimmerman.com/
Do you think I should be using a different method? I want to retain the best image quality with the quickest speeds.
Is this a good idea… the Image Gallery has an option to load 4 or 6 at a time, and when the guest scroll down more load (like flickr)?
I understand this isn’t a theme problem, but a image file size problem. It’s probably out of your support parameters and I apologize for that. I just need a little guidance.
On a similar note, have you developed any demo pages specifically for photographers and displaying their work? If not, that would be a great addition and opportunity to add your theme to the photography category! I’d love to see what you come up with. It would probably be revolutionary. 
Thank you!
Hey NickZee!
1. If you use the portfolio element instead of the image gallery element you’ll be able to activate the infinite scrolling pagination type to alleviate this.
2. The new ascend demo could be seen as a great option for photographers in various page/blog layouts – I’d take a look as that if you haven’t already
Cheers
Thank you Sir! I took your advice and changed to the portfolio element and like it a lot. Is it possible to have the “loading wheel” under the portfolio element (on the front end), instead of at the bottom of the page above the footer (aka “All Items Loaded” message)? Check out my new home page and scroll to the bottom before the new images load and you’ll see what I mean. I think this is primarily because I put other elements below the portfolio. Thank you again for your help.
Hey again! That’s kind of a bug – (it assumed infinite scroll elements would live at the bottom of pages) I’ve noted to sort this in the next release
Hello Phil!
I have a question regarding “Page Jumps”.
1. I want to have page jumps on this page “http://www.iconicgolftours.com/about/” And for the actual clicking to the page jump, I want the options to do that in a drop down menu in the About section of the site. Is that possible?
Thank you!
Hey Gareth!
If you want to link to certain sections on your page you could handle this with standard HTML anchors – however it you wanted those links to animate when scrolling you’d have to use this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/page-scroll-to-id/
Cheers
Hello,
Is there any way to create a text box/list that would have its scroll box?
For example, a text box with a list of links/bulletpoints that has a specific height and if it goes beyond that height, you will be able to scroll within that text box. Meanwhile, there is a media frame beside it that would stay in place even while you are scrolling in the text box next to it.
Thank you!
Hey simarchi123!
These items would take custom css on the columns to make to this happen – if you can apply a class name to the columns and provide a URL i’d be glad to write the css
Cheers
Hello again!
I love the updates and the addition of Ascend!
Using Ascend, how can I change the size of or even hide the comment count all the way at the bottom? I don’t mind it being there, but it’s coming through as a large header and it’s too clunky.
Also, is there any way to have my author bio & comment box on the same line? See image if what I’m saying is confusing
Thanks as always!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Thanks skucenski!
1. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.ascend .comment-wrap h3#comments {
display: none!important;
}
2. The ascend styling makes it all centered, if you didn’t activate that skin the author styling would indeed be on one line
Cheers
Pre purchase question please
Some of other themes I purchased with VC integrated do not have the front-end editor feature. Do you use the latest version of VC or customize an older version?
Thanks again!
Love the theme and hate to ask but really need front-end editor and I will buy.
Hey meanrabbit!
Unfortunately the front end editor is not enabled for Salient as some of the custom elements the theme brings wouldn’t work correctly with that.
Cheers
Hi Salient team!
Would be great to get some help on what Im hoping is a fairly straight forward fix.
I would like to have a holding page that uses the multi layer hover parallax effect.
Few little things Id like this to involve include -
1. Hiding the navigation at the top for this particular page.
2. Hiding the footer for this particular page.
3. Have the row containing the multilayer parallax to fill the screen no matter what size the user’s screen is
Cheers!
Joe
Hey Joe!
1/2. Add this on the css box in the visual composer view on your desired page:
#header-outer, #footer-outer {
display: none!important;
}
3. You can use a % value for the top/bottom padding to make it pretty close to this functionality – but an actual “fullscreen” like option currently isn’t available for rows. Cheers
Seemed to do the trick, cheers!.
Also I was wondering if it was at all possible to have the nectar slider work so that the text on top stays static whilst the image behind changes?
Thanks!
This would require some custom modding as of now, but that idea has been on the wishlist
Am I able to add a facebook button with the heart icon from the social share element on the blog single page.
Thx for taht amazing theme again.
Hey neodigital,
Unfortunately this wouldn’t be possible without some custom development or integration with a social media plugin.
Cheers
I would like to know how to put the size text you used on this page :
http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266
I mean under “100% Responsive Design” for example. I tried using the “Centered Heading” shortcode. But the Subtitle text size is too big for what I want.
Thanks a lot 
Thanks onabon!
That text is just using an h4 heading tag – if you’re unfamiliar with how to add heading in the visual tab, this picture should help illustrate
Cheers
Thanks for you quick answer But this is not the h4; the h4 is use for the title, not the body; I was looking for the text size UNDER the title. But don’t worry cause I know now how to do! I’ve just changed the body text size in the typography option
I’m sorry but I would like to ask you something else please : How did you put the background color for the recent works? http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266
When I put the background color for Recent work, the color is only behind the thumbnails, but not behind the title “Recent works”. I hope you understand my little english
Thanks!
Hey again! Sorry for misunderstanding the first query.
In regards to your new question – If you’re referring to the purple strip underneath the gallery on that page, it’s just a full width background row underneath the actual recent projects row
Cheers
Thanks
You’re welcome
How do i remove just the dash when i have testimonial slider with the just the title and no qoute
how do i also remove the quotes
Hey again, add this into the custom css box:
.testimonial_slider blockquote span {
display: none!important;
}
Question on Full Width Blog Masonry. I was wondering if there is any way i could have the images with no margins on the blog items? Similar to this http://www.s5themes.com/theme/clippy/
Thanks! Beautiful work by the way
Hey jamesmks!
The new ascend skin removes the margins around the featured media http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/blog-masonry-fullwidth/

Hi,
I have an image inside a boxed column. I would like the image to take all the space in the column. I used this custom CSS:
.col.boxed {
padding:0px!important;
}
but there is still space between left and right of the image and the borders of the column. I can I remove those space in the sides?
Many thanks
btw you can see here herbolab.com/buy2/
Hey!
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
body .col.boxed img, body .wpb_column.boxed img {
padding: 0!important;
}
A question about the masonry blog style. I would like to change the appearance of the “overview” of blog entries. I think I can copy/paste and style together all the things I need, but for the moment I didn’t find the file to work on :/ Where do I have to look for it?
Hey le_cram!
The files used in the blog are in includes/post-templates (each would need to be modified) and then css would be needed which could live in the style.css or custom css box. However, note that the ascend skin in Salient looks a bit closer to what you want http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/blog-masonry-fullwidth/
Cheers
I imported the Ascend .xml file and the theme options file, but the images still have this padding around… Did I do something wrong? :/
http://marcelbehnke.com/rhcbasel/blog-masonry-fullwidth/Or do I have to reset the page completely and take the Ascend skind in the beginning?
Anyways thank you for your support! The best support I ever got in any paid content in the internet!
I set up a second wordpress page and figured out, that I don’t have the option “Theme Skin” in my genereal settings… After that I saw, that I took the wrong version of the salient theme… Thank you for your help, now you can concentrate to help others, I can work on my own
Hey again! Glad to hear you found the needed option
Cheers
Great theme, very well done
Thanks a lot neodigital!
Hello~ So I’m editing my site and I’d like to add some widgets(Event Calender, other widget plugins I downloaded) inside a row in a Page. I click the + button but it shows me no option to add a widget here. How do I do this? I see the option on the Customize option inside Footer 1 – 4, but not for any pages. Please help! Thank you! Thank you!
Hey digiegg!
WordPress doesn’t allow you to freely add widgets outside of widget areas like that by default – but there should be plugins out there to allow you to do so such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/widgets-on-pages/
Cheers
Awesome. So I have another question. http://www.calachonline.com/uploads/help.jpg Why isn’t this blog adjusting to the row?
The blog element (especially with that style) was actually only intended to live on its own row and not nested within a column since it uses a masonry layout – the calculations wouldn’t work correctly in such a small space
Oh okay.. I guess I’ll work around it. Another quick Question! Is there a way I could edit what’s on the sidebar of the Blog? I’d like to put links to different sections of the site and get rid of things like META/ Recent comments, / etc. And also add whatever else. IS there an easy way to do this? Thanks for helping out. You’re awesome!
Oh! And I want to use a Korean font. How do I get it to show up on the Font Family list of Typography?
I downloaded one I’d like to use I mean.
Hey again!
1. You can edit what’s used in the sidebar in your Appearance > Widgets section of the admin panel
2. You won’t be able to easily add it into that dropdown list – but you can still use your font manually from css using fontface http://zoerooney.com/blog/tutorials/installing-web-fonts-start-to-finish/

how do i disable the little circles under a testimonial slider
ohh and can i also disable the quotation marks
look at the first green bar. also there is a little – below the text. how can i remove that
Ok i have an additional request- can i instead of removing the circles can remove the space between them and the text above?
Hello leeanddrew,
1. To remove the quotes you’ll need to edit the testimonial.php file located in the nectar/nectar-vc-addons/vc_templates directory
2. I can’t see the little ”-” below the text in your green bar – can you please provide a screenshot?
3. Add this into your custom css box in the Salient options panel:
body .toggles .testimonial_slider .controls, body .full-width-content .testimonial_slider .controls {
bottom: 25px!important;
}
H there Just curious, is there a way to remove the header and footer and call to action section just on 1 page? Essentially what I am trying to do is create a totally blank page with just 1 button (which I need to load in an iframe).
Any thoughts?
Hey shiver1001,
yes – add this into the css box inside of the visual composer view on your desired page:
#header-outer, #header-space, #footer-outer {
display: none!important;
}
Thanks for the feedback, I cant find the CSS box in visual composer on the page??
Hey again – see this in regards
Hi! First of all I want to say you many compliments, this is a very great theme! I’m contacting you because I have a little issue with the Portfolio’s categories menu. I have five categories linked to my projects but the menu displays just two of them. This the page I’m talking about www.carlasartori.com/portfolio. Do you have any ideas which a possible solution could be?
Thank you in advance for your time!
Thanks so much carlasartori!
The filters will only show if items exist for them on the page – try assigning some of the projects on that page to the other categories to get them to show
Cheers
Hi, thank you for your reply. Maybe I’m doing something wrong… I’ve created new project items and I assigned them (all) the categories but it not working. The menu shows just two categories.
Hey again! Anyway you could open a ticket in regards so I can check the backend for you? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
I noticed on the new Ascent skin, there’s no way to view next/prev blog posts on a post. Is this something that will be fixed? Once the user goes to a post like this, for example (http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/the-field/) there’s no way to view next article or recommended articles. Looks like you can only view the category and more posts by the author.
Are these options available in the backend? The blog looks really nice, but it’s difficult to navigate from post to post.
Thanks!
Hey mittenunited! Actually there’s a large link to the next post right under the meta info at the bottom of each post (also visible on the link you shared )
Oh wow! Didn’t know that was a post. Thanks!
No worries
Cheers!
My Nectar Slider continues to loop but I do not have the box selected for it to loop. I would like it just to play one time and then stop.
How do I get it to stop looping, Thanks
Hey EntrepreneurT, the loop option does not have anything to do with how video BG’s or the autorotate option behave within the slider – it actually just dictates whether the slider will loop the first slide item after the last instead of coming to an endpoint when navigating with the next/prev buttons. Currently there’s no option to disable the video loop functionality or end an autorotate premature (prior to user interaction) from the options panel
