Hello my friend, hope you are well.
I had a question, with the nectar slider there is an option for “Caption Background If you would like to add a semi transparent background to your caption, activate this option.”
If I was to use a full width image background and wanted to add a semi transparent box to the text (becuase the text cant be read when the parallex effect is taking place) how would I go about this please?
thank you in advance.
I tried the following:
<p class="transparent-bg" style="opacity: 1; padding-top: 0px;">My text here</p>
<code />
but no joy 
</code>
Hey 312Media,
You’d need to create a class for that in your custom css box like:
.text-transparent-bg {
padding: 4px 0px;
display: inline;
position: relative;
left: 10px;
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
-moz-box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
-webkit-box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
-o-box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
line-height: 45px;
}
And then add that class like:
<p class="text-transparent-bg"> </p>
Cheers
Thanks a lot, actually I had made the class, but not like you did 
thank you so much.
You’re very welcome
Hi,
We love Salient, but in IE our video backgrounds do not work. Can you have a look and advise please?
Thanks Shahin
Hey Shahin!
I just checked out your URL in IE 11-9 and can’t see any issues with the video slider loading in – what version of IE are you referring to?
Cheers
Hi Nectar. Regarding the ajax search, is there any way to exclude certain Page ID’s or Custom Posts? I tried using plugin to exclude Post ID’s, but it didn’t seem to work. Just wondering about some alternatives. Right now, it’s showing results from custom post type, which I would like to exclude. Thanks!
Hey Joe,
You’d need to edit the file wp-search-suggest.php located in nectar/asstes/functions/ajax-search in regards
Cheers
Hi,
I’d like to change the text styles of both the Testimonial source/Name and the Quote. I tried this:
body blockquote {
font-family: 'OpenSansLight'!important;
font-size: 24px!important;
line-height: 30px!important;
}
The testimonial source/Name and the line-height remain unaffected. How could I change those?
Thank you in advance.
Hey teemuluo,
Try this
body .testimonial_slider blockquote, body .testimonial_slider blockquote span, body blockquote {
line-height: 30px!important;
}
Cheers
Thanks.
You’re welcome
im having problem with my gallery in tabbed section. pls see the screenshot: http://imgbox.com/rEGuG7HC
[vc_gallery type="image_grid" interval="3" images="331,320,330,322,325,321,346,345,339,329,337,336,341,344,340,343,347,348,349,338,350,328,334,326,335,327,323,324,333,342" display_title_caption="true" layout="3" gallery_style="4" onclick="link_image" custom_links_target="_self" img_size="600x400"]
Hey tiyo,
Try to add this:
$(window).trigger('resize');
into this section of the init.js file located in the js folder
$('body').on('click','.tabbed > ul li a',function(){
right before the return false;
Cheers
For the social icons I think there is missing most popular image site Flickr?!
Hey Kuningasidea, I’ve noted to add that in as an option in the upcoming minor update
Hey Salient,
I just upgraded to 4.0 from 2.0, and when I go to add a nectar shortcode, the form is kinda messed up now. You can see the image below for what I mean,
https://imageshack.com/f/eyrDbp5ipIs there any fix for that? It’s quite hard to select shortcodes now. I’m on a Mac, and this issue appears for Safari/Chrome
Hey charleswu7,
Make sure you’re plugins are up to date (an outdated WooCommerce is known to cause that)
Cheers
Hey Team Salient.
First off, this is the first time I am building a website on wordpress and this theme makes everything really easy and simple. So i was looking at a website and was wondering if you could do this on a salient theme, and wordpress. The website is – http://bangastudios.ca/our-story/
If you scroll down to where it says “Our Team” and click on one of the team members – you will see a drop down appear with all the information for the specific team member
I was wondering if someone could help me out with this, cause I really like it and I want to use it on my web page – please let me know thanks
Hey jannatstudios!
Unfortunately this wouldn’t be possible as of now without some custom development – the closest thing built in would be the alternative team style with links to custom team member pages as seen on here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/about/about-me-extended/

Hello 
I have a problem with the portfolio. In all the videos you have about “how to create a portfolio” you can see all your works in the sam page, and then, when you click one of them, you can see that one specifically, with its description, more pictures, tags, etc
so here is the question: how can I make a page will all my works? I mean, a portfolio general view, a page where you can se all your works at once.
Thanks a lot
Hey! Please see my response to your previous comment

Hey tcr48,
You can create that by adding a portfolio element in visual composer on your page wherever you want to display the projects
Cheers
Something strange occured on this site scratchmediatv.us
For some reason, the “full width” rolls are being hidden? Why is that and how can I get it back? This is odd…
I’ve resolved the issue by restoring website files from backup. That was really odd…
Hey jjezjay,
If you encounter it again please let me know
Cheers
Hi, I’m interested in purchasing this theme, but I need to verify a few things before. Can I demo the Admin Panel? Thanks! Miki
Hey mjeshurun,
There’s no user demo of the admin panel available now but the tutorials on youtube should give you a good look at the UI https://www.youtube.com/user/ThemeNectar

Hi, In the portfolio section, I can embed a video via the Embedded Code section at the bottom of the page. However I want to embed multiple videos on one page. Is this possible?
Thank you!
Hey AmyNYC,
you can embed as many videos as you like in the extra content editor in your portfolio edit page screen
Cheers!
Awesome! Is there any way to center these elements? Can you center an iframe? Thanks!
Hey again – yes, anyway you can share the url to the project so I can assist?
How might I change the default bg color and font color of tabs? I like the active tab color but need to change the non-active tabs color and then most likely the font color as well. Thanks so much.
Hey mtntownmedia!
Use this in the custom css box:
body .tabbed > ul li a {
color: #fff;
background-color: #000;
}
Cheers
The tabs are built with visual composer. That css does not work.
Can you please share your URL to the page in regards so I can check out why it’s not working?
You’ve accidentally added the snippet inside of a media query you have in the css box that limits the snippet to mobile displays – please take the snippet out of it and it will apply to desktops as well
Thank You So Much! Your Support is Top Notch. Im not that experienced with CSS and you have helped a lot. What css would I add to that code you gave me to change the hover state BG color and Font Color? (of the tabs) Thanks!!!!
You’re very welcome
html body .tabbed > ul li a:hover {
color: #333!important;
background-color: #fff!important;
}
Once Again I thank you very much. Its simple basic support gestures like this that make you the best on Theme Forest, get you great positive feedback and continually get you new customers. Out of all the authors on here, you are the only one to figure that out. Thank You.
You’re very welcome!
Pain to Customize for Child Themes
This theme is heavily stylized but improperly formattted.
Rather than use proper hierarchies of element, id, class, and selector, this theme overdeclares with !important tags. As such, it’s a huge pain to customize as it’s not using the “cascading” logic in Cascading Style Sheets.
It’s very pretty (no doubt) with tons of options but not worth the time fixing all the !important overrides a child theme may require.
Hey darrenkitlor,
If you need to override anything in a child theme stylesheet you can prepend “body” to the rule used in the main stylesheet if it’s a rule that has !important. In the off chance it has body already you could add “html body” to the beginning of it in order to override it without thinking any further about the hierarchy.
If you’re struggling on overriding any specific rule please let me know which and I’d be glad to assist
Hi,
I’m trying to recreate my nectar slider into a multilayer parallax that is fullscreen. I was wondering what css classes are used for the title, the caption and the button. I tried to copy/paste this from the nectar slider but it won’t let me. My website is: http://tinyurl.com/qa7daoq
Regards, David
Hey David,
If you’re just using a row and want the same styling as the content in the nectar slider, use an h2, a paragraph tag with the class “light” on it and a nectar button shortcode like this:
<h2>Text here</h2> <p class="light">text here</p> [button color="accent-color" size="medium" url="#" text="button text" ]
Cheers
I have multiple Google maps included on my website throughout different pages, but once one of them has loaded and you click to another page the map on that page will not load until the page is refreshed. Then that process repeats on other pages it the page is refreshed again.
I’m not sure if this is anything that can be fixed but in the mean time I placed a background stating for the user to refresh the page for the map to load.
Would be helpful if you could take a quick look and see if it’s anything that can be fixed.
Thanks,
And awesome theme btw. I’ve enjoyed making the website.
Here’s the link
I also added a map myself using raw HTML on this page instead of using the shortcode Google maps and it is still encountering the same problem.
Hey jgrandinetti,
If you turn off the AJAX page transitions this should sort itself out – i’ve noted to look into what you’ve described with the ajax transitions on though
Cheers
Thanks that fixed it though I did like the transitions between each page.
You’re welcome & hopefully I’ll find the root of the issue for the next update
Hi – I wanted to center all text of the nectar slider on my homepage from 0-1000px and used the code below. It worked for my slide that was left aligned, but for some reason the slide that had right aligned text did not. Any thoughts? Thanks!
@media only screen and (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 1000px) {
body .nectar-slider-wrap[data-fullscreen="true"] .swiper-slide .content h2, body .vc_span3 .nectar-slider-wrap[data-flexible-height="true"] .swiper-slide .content h2, body .vc_span4 .nectar-slider-wrap[data-flexible-height="true"] .swiper-slide .content h2, body .vc_span6 .nectar-slider-wrap[data-flexible-height="true"] .swiper-slide .content h2, body .vc_span8 .nectar-slider-wrap[data-flexible-height="true"] .swiper-slide .content h2, body .vc_span9 .nectar-slider-wrap[data-flexible-height="true"] .swiper-slide .content h2 {
font-size: 53px !important;
text-align: center;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
body .nectar-slider-wrap[data-fullscreen="true"] .swiper-slide .content p, body .vc_span3 .nectar-slider-wrap[data-flexible-height="true"] .swiper-slide .content p, body .vc_span4 .nectar-slider-wrap[data-flexible-height="true"] .swiper-slide .content p, body .vc_span6 .nectar-slider-wrap[data-flexible-height="true"] .swiper-slide .content p, body .vc_span8 .nectar-slider-wrap[data-flexible-height="true"] .swiper-slide .content p, body .vc_span9 .nectar-slider-wrap[data-flexible-height="true"] .swiper-slide .content p {
font-size: 22px !important;
text-align: center;
}
}
Here is the URL: http://cwaydev.tonypantello.com/ Thanks!
Hey, try adding this into the custom css box as well:
@media only screen and (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 1000px) {
.swiper-slide[data-x-pos="right"] .content {
width: 100%!important;
text-align: center!important;
}
}
Hey guys, your theme is really great! I love to work with it. I’m really sorry to ask this stupid question. You added the new “texture overlay” function to the nectar picture sliders and I already used it… But now, two days after, I can’t find it anymore. Really sorry to waste your time…
can you please tell me where to find it. I searched for it for 3 hours.
Hey Dankerstobi,
That option should still exist in each nectar slide edit screen as a checkbox. If you’re missing it please open a ticket in regards so I can take a look for you http://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Hello again, How can I stop the video loop in the netcar slider? For example, on the 3rd slide I want it will play once. clickon.activated.co.il Thanks, Anat
Hey Anatal,
Unfortunately right now there’s no option to stop video BG’s from looping and this would take some modding to the theme files – but this is an item on the wishlist
Cheers
