Love the theme. Great job! 
Where can I find a new transition option for Nectar Slider?
Hey griddesign!
It’s located inside of the nectar slider options inside of the actual element in Visual Composer
Hi TN,
The solution described here (http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/178318/search/) does not work for me. Is there a way I can get Salient working?
Hey hookieoalo,
did this happen just after an update or has it been like that since day one of using the theme?
It’s on a fresh install
Then it would best to reach out to your hosting company in regards and let them know the slashes are getting stripped from the assets loading – it’s most likely a security setting your server has on.
Hi, is there any chance I can create a multilayer parallax that is fullscreen?
Hey TheWhiteHoward, you can use % values for the top and bottom padding in the row, thus making it scale very nicely with the users screen
My feed doesn’t work. Sometimes it open, like in firefox, sometimes i got a strange error (Chrome). I’ve wrote you an Email Weeks Ago. Pls Help…
check it out for yourself. http://christiansimmerl.de/2013/feedHey lorderdbeer,
you just need to update to the latest version of the theme as it seems you’re encountering an error with the visual composer gallery element which was fixed a few months ago.
Cheers!
I’m having the Version 4.0.1, and there’s no notification that there’s any update… :/
Hey again,
email notifications are sent out every update – to get them you can check the box to “Get notified by email if this item is updated” in your downloads tab in ThemeForest. In order to update, you just need to download the theme again from ThemeForest, delete your current version and upload the new one
Ok. I will try that. But i don’t have to worry that i have to set up the hole page again right?
Correct, by updating the theme you’ll still retain all of your content/theme settings
I’ve updated it to the newest version. Doesn’t work in Chrome…
Try clearing your cache, it’s displaying normally on my end now
Strange… i get an error “This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it.”
Ahhh. Found that on google. “This is normal, as Chrome was not built to interpret feeds. Instead, subscribe to the feed in a real feed reader, or install the RSS Subscription Extension.” Didn’t know that Chrome can’t read it without plugins. THANK YOU!
Hey again – yeah unfortunately Chrome doesn’t come with a built in rss reader like other browsers.
Cheers
Hi there Is there any easy way to add a phone number to the header? Even with an icon but not critical
thanks Mary-Anne
Hey Mary-Anne,
You could add it as a custom menu item in the secondary header or main header – but depending on where you wanted it positioned or how you wanted it to look it might require modding the header.php file itself.
Cheers
Could you suggest some code and placement for editing header.php? As I would rather not use secondary header as I have that login box at the top and it starts to become very deep.
Right inside of the header-outer div you could add something like:
<span id="phone-number">xxx-xxx-xxxx</span>and then in the custom css box in your Salient options panel
#phone-number {
position: absolute;
right: 25px;
top: 25px;
}
Hi,
Just a few quick questions.
I am using the yoast Seo plugin and it seems that it cannot detect any of the images on the page. On all of my pages where I use the ‘single image’ of visual composer, yoast SEO states that there are no images on the page. Is this a salient issue? Have you heard of this before?
Also, how can I SEO optimize the nectar sliders? This has all my H1 text. Or is it indexed as part of the entire page?
Thankyou
Hey Paul,
1. Yoast can’t see the images on the page because at that point in the backend editor the img tags don’t exist, there’s just an image element block storing the ID of the image which will get formed into the actual img tag on the front. Search engines and users will still see the images normally.
2. There’s nothing else that needs to be done for seo optimization in regards to them – the heading text for each slide is already in h2 tags and the caption is within paragraph tags so search engines will be able to fully see the content
Cheers
Hey,
Just to clarify, are you are 100% sure that search engines and google are still reading the alt text of the images?
Thanks!
Another thing,
A while ago I asked you why the parallax page sections are very choppy when you scroll past them and you stated it may be because of my computer specs as there is a lot to load.
My computer is very powerful so I didn’t think this was the issue and after some investigation I found that the parallax page sections are only very choppy when viewed on a google chrome browser – on firefox it is very smooth and how it should be.
Is there a fix to this? It makes the site look very choppy when viewed on chrome.
Hi again,
I just noticed that on mobile devices, the actual testimonial text is shown much larger than my ‘H2 light’ headers.. I am pretty sure that the testimonial size is by default ‘H3 light’ so why is this?
How can i reduce the size of testimonial text in mobile devices to scale better and look right? On desktop it shows perfectly.
Thanks
Hey again!
1. Yes I am You can also verify the images are normal by viewing the source of your page.
2. You can try to also disable the smooth scrolling effect in the options panel (which is very demanding) as there’s a higher performing Chrome specific version of that built into the theme in Salient v4.5+
3. Can you share the URL of this page so I can check out what’s going on?
Hi,
2. Is there any way to disable the chrome specific version only? I need smooth scrolling.
3. I have opened a ticket and posted my url, please check.
Thanks
Also, what is the new custom css for the ascend contact form 7 forms that show on the contact page of the new demo?
Can you please post the custom css and the layout of the contact form elements? I just noticed it and am liking the new layout. Please note that I do not want to switch to the ascend demo style.
Additionally, I switched my h3 headers to the font merriweather – as it is in the new ascend demo (in the demo they are H4), and it looks nothing like how the demo is.. even though it is using the same font. My h3 headers now have these random dots all over the word – which is odd because in the demo these do not appear. Can you please let me know what I am missing? It only seems an issue using chrome. But I am using chrome to view your demo and it looks fine.. very confusing.
Also, what is the paragraph font, spacing, style and size for the new demo?
Lastly, is there any way to ensure that if someones browser cannot read the merriweather font that they are next converted to open sans?
Thanks!
Please ignore my question about the h3 merriweather errors. I figured it out.
Hey again, thanks for opening a ticket
2. It would require modding the init.js file – locate this section:
$("html").niceScroll({
scrollspeed: 60,
mousescrollstep: 40,
cursorwidth: 15,
cursorborder: 0,
cursorcolor: '#303030',
cursorborderradius: 6,
autohidemode: false,
horizrailenabled: false
});
and change it to this:
if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Chrome') == -1) {
$("html").niceScroll({
scrollspeed: 60,
mousescrollstep: 40,
cursorwidth: 15,
cursorborder: 0,
cursorcolor: '#303030',
cursorborderradius: 6,
autohidemode: false,
horizrailenabled: false
});
}
Thanks for that.
Can you please answer my other questions above also? I will repost them:
1. What is the new custom css for the ascend contact form 7 forms that show on the contact page of the new demo?
Can you please post the custom css and the layout of the contact form elements? I just noticed it and am liking the new layout. Please note that I do not want to switch to the ascend demo style.
2. What is the paragraph font, spacing, style and size for the new demo?
Hey again,
1. It’s not actually css – here’s the markup you’d use in the CF7 form creation screen though: http://pastebin.com/pjbvSNCC
2. The body font is still open sans in the default weight with standard letter spacing and a 14px size
Cheers
Hi again,
Thanks for the markup code. There is however a need for css..
For example how do I get all the input fields to be transparent and get the same border thickness + color, font size and style, input field size and padding etc.. There is a lot of css that the ascend demo contact form 7 uses is there not?
Mine looks nothing like it apart from the structure. Although the structure is now great, the style is completely different (default cf7 style). Also, the headings – ‘subject, your name’ etc are now massive in size and break the form up.
Thanks
Hey again!
The ascend demo simply has the ascend skin active (chosen via the general settings tab of your Salient options panel) – that skin has different styling for inputs, buttons and various other elements as seen in the demo
Hey,
Thats what I said before. I would like the css code with that style for the form without having to select the ascend style and change my entire site. Surely you can provide the custom css that the form uses ?
Thanks
The css for that can be found in the ascend stylesheet located in your css folder – but to save you the trouble, here is the section extracted from it http://pastebin.com/6nmAHY8r
Thanks for that!
hey, just very quickly.
I noticed that the labels for my contact 7 form ie: ’’your name, your email, subject, your message’’ – are massive in font size. They break up the entire form.
What css do I use to target these labels (not sure what their officially known as) on my contact form ? I want them to be 14px in size. I just dont know how to target them in custom css.
Thanks again!
Hey! Is there anyway you could share your ticket ID with your page URL so I can see why they’re displaying so large?
Sure! Ticket : #254686
Tahir is currently helping me with an issue on this ticket but I have posted my url at the bottom of the comments for you to see my contact form page.
cheers
Thanks, i’ll be with you as soon as I can
Hi my website is back up so please check the link I sent you in the ticket above and get back to me.
In addition, I have just noticed that many of my social sharing icons are missing the count number (it is just blank space). The settings are set to show count number. It is odd because they work on some pages but are blank on there pages.
Hey Paul! It seems the support staff have sorted that for you correct? In regards to the social share counts not showing on certain pages – are you possibly including more than one set of them? Currently they’re only designed to be placed once on a page.
Hi, no I am not getting help with this issue. That ticket is just to show you my url where the error is occuring. In that ticket I am being helped with the size of my testimonial text.
This issue is about the massive size of my contact form 7 subject headers (please see my questions above). You requested a ticket id which had my url on it so I sent you the ticket details for that reason.
Please assist as soon as possible as I have been waiting for some help for 5 days on this matter.
2. Yes I have more than 1 per page. I will just keep them to one per page!
Thanks
Hey again – sorry about that. I’m seeing your entire contact form wrapped in an h1 tag. You should be able to see/delete that from the text tab in your editor. If you can’t find it I’d be glad to log in and fix it for you if you can provide admin credentials on your ticket
Cheers
Hey,
Yeah that worked! I have no idea how that happened but it seems to be all good now. One quick thing is that the ‘your subject’ input field and header is far too close to the other three columns (please check my form and compare it to the demo on ascend).
Can you quickly let me know how to make the spacing exactly like what is in the demo for the ‘my subject’ header and input field? It should be further down.
Thanks
hey mate,
Also, is there a way to show the click counts for the nectar love icon but not for any social sharing buttons? So only the nectar love icons show the counter and not the other social media buttons?
Thanks
Hey again!
1. Wrap your columns in a row like this:<div class="row"> <div class="span_4 col" /> <div class="span_4 col" /> <div class="span_4 col col_last" /> </div>
2. Add this into the css box on the page:
.nectar-sharing span, .nectar-sharing-alt span {
display: none !important;
}
Hi,
1. That is what I have now (what you told me to put earlier).
Here is how my form is structured:
<div class="col span_4">
<p>Your Name <span>*</span><br />
[text* your-name] </p>
</div>
<div class="col span_4">
<p>Your Email <span>*</span><br />
[email* your-email] </p>
</div>
<div class="col span_4 col_last">
<p>Subject<br />
[text your-subject] </p>
</div>
<p>Your Message<br />
[textarea your-message] </p>
<p>[submit "Send"]</p>
Please review my form once again and you will the that the subject heading and input box is far too close to the above boxes (the ascend demo has a good space between them).
Thank you.
Hey – here’s the updated structure with the wrapping row:
<div class="row">
<div class="col span_4">
<p>Your Name <span>*</span><br />
[text* your-name] </p>
</div>
<div class="col span_4">
<p>Your Email <span>*</span><br />
[email* your-email] </p>
</div>
<div class="col span_4 col_last">
<p>Subject<br />
[text your-subject] </p>
</div>
</div>
<p>Your Message<br />
[textarea your-message] </p>
<p>[submit "Send"]</p>
I would like to display several see-through buttons one on top of the other in a column layout. Currently, this results in buttons of varying widths depending on the contained text. is it possible to set the buttons to a specific width or to take up 100% of the column width?
Hey jkmutisya,
this would be possible with css – if you can share your page URL I could assist with the css
Cheers
Wonderful,
Here is the link http://www.jamesmutisya.com/contact/
The buttons I am trying to work on are the ones in column 3 of the footer. I would like for each button to take up 100% of the width.
Thank you.
Hey again!
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
#footer-outer .nectar-button.see-through {
width: 100%!important;
}
(because you’re using the buttons with icon on hover it might not look completely right though due to the excess space)
Hello, like the theme, but having a horrible time getting my nectar slider to display correctly on Internet Explorer. Any way you could take a look and give me advice on how to fix it?
sv.keyusa.com/keydemo3
Thanks in advance!
Hey mrfekone! You just need to update your version of Salient as this issue was fixed a few releases ago
Cheers
I’m trying to edit the style of the “Update Cart” and “Proceed to Checkout” button on my cart page, but nothing is working. I tried the following code in both my style.css and custom css section. What am I missing?
/* Proceed to Checkout Button */
.ascend .woocommerce .actions .button.wc-forward {
border-radius: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
height: 40px!important;
font-size: 24px!important;
}
website: modulemaster.com/rebuilds
Thanks so much! Will
Hey Will!
Anyway you can provide your URL so I can confirm the snippet is accurate for your setup?
Cheers
Sure, here’s a link to one of the products: http://modulemaster.com/rebuilds/shop/abs-modules/abs-ate-m20/.
Thanks for your help. I was able to edit the “Add to Cart” style, but the “Proceed to Checkout” style has been much more elusive.
Hey again! This selector should work
.woocommerce .cart .button.checkout-button {
background-color: red!important;
}
Thanks! That worked.
You’re welcome
Great theme. A couple questions I’m hoping you can help with:
1. Is there a way to make it so the “Full Width Content” rows don’t expand beyond a certain width? These rows look fine on my 1920px wide monitor but I’m worried that they will look very stretched out on ultra-wide monitors like 2560px or 3840px.
2. I would like to put two different portfolio elements (showing different categories) in two different tabs. When I do this, however, the portfolio element in the unselected tab does not display. I’m assuming this is because it doesn’t get a chance to render since it is hidden. Do you have a solution for this?
3. I would like to be able to repeat the social sharing icons at the bottom of blog posts. Is there a simple way to do this by editing the template? I’m comfortable with editing the files and am using a child theme.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
-Damon
Hey Damon,
1. This would take some custom modding in the init.js to set a cap on the max width you’d allow – unfortunately it wouldn’t work quite right if you used css alone.
2. Try to add this line:
$(window).trigger('resize');
into this function in the init.js file located in the js folder:
$('body').on('click','.tabbed > ul li a',function(){
(add the line right before the line return false; )
3. If you activate the fullscreen header the social icons will move to the bottom of the post by default: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/the-field/ however if you wanted to keep your current header, it would require modding the single.php file.
Cheers
Hola!
Small problem with the image gallery.
When I click an image to enlarge the lightbox pops up, but I often have to scroll down to see the image. Is there a way to make sure it shows without having to scroll down?
http://www.cameronleahy.com/renders/Thanks!
Hey cptnyr!
That’s strange behavior – have you already confirmed that this is not tired to any plugins you may have active?
Cheers
I have not, but I also only have the suggested plugins for the theme installed
I updated everything and it seems to have fixed itself. Thanks!
That’s good to hear
Cheers
EDIT: Just submitted a ticket, plz feel free to ignore the comment and answer there if that’s what you prefer.
Hi there, still loving the theme. I’m really happy you’ve kept it relevant with frequent updates, and I appreciate your level of support. Hoping you can help me out…
I’ve been utilizing the Essential Grid plugin, but there is a styling conflict with the theme somewhere that I can’t find. When a grid is loaded (for example on the homepage: http://www.shopcreo.com/) the right side of the grid is cut off. It becomes much worse when viewing it on mobile.
I’ve been going through it at length with the developer of Essential Grid, but I need your help since the conflict seems to be with Salient. I have already tried deactivating all plugins and toggled every theme option in the panel. The only time the grid will display correctly is when I switch back to the 2014 theme. Can you please take a look and help me out? If you need a temp. admin login let me know I can email it over. Thanks!
http://www.shopcreo.com/Hey adamgentry,
Try adding this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel
.mainul {
margin-left: 0!important;
}
Cheers
I was hoping to find the string of code within the php that posts the title at the top of the page, and delete the code that posts the text “Project Attributes”, but leave the text “APPLY & INTERACT”. Is this possible?
Hey PerryDS,
can you share your page URL just so i’m clear on what you’re referring to?
Cheers
Hey Themenectar!
Your theme is awesome, it’s been helping so many people and your support is outstanding, I just have one very important pre-purchase question.
I’ve looked through every demo and hundreds of comments here and it seems that you can’t do two layers of filtering for portfolios. I’ve also looked for plugins to make this work with your horizontal layout and I can’t find anything. What custom javascript would be necessary for this to work? I’m posting this here because it looks like it could help a lot of people.
I’m looking to make the menu work like this
—-Filter A ——Filter B —-- Filter C --— Filter D — (as it does now)
—--\Filter 1 --- Filter 2 --— Filter 3 (all under Filter A)
—-—-—\Filter 4 --—Filter 5 -—- Filter 6 (all under Filter B and filter 1,2,3 hide when filter B is clicked)
I hope that makes sense, two layer filtering seems to be impossible for some reason.
Cheers
Thanks drewdyer!
The horizontal filters will only show the top level of categories by default (however the dropdown style will show everything). For now, css could be used to show the child categories in the horizontal display too, but it would look perfect without some custom modding
Cheers
How do i remove the search icon and separator in the menu?
Hey brandonselfors,
Please see this in regards: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/52594/search/
Cheers
Hey guys! Just wanted to ask a quick question: wanted to know if it’s possible to have the same transparent header effect with a top level Nectar slider with Portfolio pages, like regular pages?
I understand that it could get tricky because in the Portfolio pages you have the added title, go back link, and navigation carrots, but at least if we’d be able to put a background video for the header in a portfolio page, that would be awesome.
Thanks!
Hey djoliverm!
You can have a transparent effect active for your projects, but only if you supply a header BG color or images currently such as http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/portfolio/flippin-the-bird/ – the option to had a video trigger it up top or slider is already on the wish list
Cheers
Is it possible to create a blank page with only the content from the Visual Composer?
For example , am I able to create a capture page using this theme? A capture page being a simple blank page with a few lines of text and an email / phone input box to take in information? I would want the page to be free of any header or footers…
Hey EntrepreneurT,
you can create a blank page by entering this into the css box located in the visual composer view on any page you desire
#header-outer, #header-space, #footer-outer {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
HI there! A quick question: How can I display my blog posts the same way that the photo portfolio is setup on the demo page: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/
Hey welovedoka,
since that’s not a blog style it would require some custom development as of now but additional blog styles are already planned on the wishlist
Cheers
Thank you for your reply! I would really love to see more styles for displaying recent blog posts on my website. I love what you did for portfolio items, but I’m not a web-developer or artist and really have nothing to display except for my blog posts. I think many of your customers would appreciate that. I really love what you did in your latest demo for displaying single blog posts (it kinda has Medium vibe to it which is great!) You guys are incredibly talented, keep up the good work!
Hey again, thanks for your kind words!
Indeed, additional ways to showcase blog posts will be coming
Hi. I have updated and now my header text doesnt show in portfolio, my guess is cos i have quite a few options in the portfolio. I see you only add height in header if you use an image. I just want text to show, any idea? Thanks
http://visual360media.com/portfolio/Dont worry, had to add bakcground colour i think
Oops, no, still no good… weird background colour..wont go away!
Sorted it…
Hey webworld360! Glad to hear you’ve sorted it
Hey kylesalonga!
You’d need to modify the nectar/asstes/functions/ajax-search/wpss-search-sugest.js file
Cheers
