Hi again,
Can i have a transparent background for the boxes? For example: i want this box ” one_whole boxed=”true”] [/one_whole] ” to be transparent and the background image shows.
Thanks..
Hey rammoss,
Yes – except you’ll need to work inside of visual composer instead of using the raw nectar shortcodes. Once you’re working with visual composer columns you’ll see options for adding BG colors and changing the opacity 
Cheers
Thanks for the reply,
But i cant see any columns in the visual composer so i can edit the color and the opacity?
Have you checked out the tutorial on using visual composer? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4mt0lOJ888 If you’re still not able to create any columns please open a ticket in regards so I can check out the setup http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
The featured images on the portfolio page have a grey border at the bottom. Seems like the image is too small? http://new.fotabrollop.se/project-type/brollop/
Hey!
It’s due to some custom css you have – to negate it for the portfolio items only, add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.portfolio-items .work-item.style-3 img, .portfolio-items .work-item.style-4 img {
margin-bottom: 0 !important;
}
Thanks!!
You’re welcome
Hi
is it possible to add css code to a particular page (in the <head> section)?
Thanks!
Hey fredrics1! Yes it is – Just insert the css into the css box which is visible when in the visual composer view on your editor
Oh, that was easy
Thanks
You’re welcome
Hi,
i just realized that video for the slideshow in home page cannot load for IE9…. the problem appear in your demo too …
do you have any advise and solution for playing video in IE9 ?
Regards,
Hey vincegx, I’ve just retested on IE9 and can’t see any playback issues with the live demo. Since this isn’t a known issue can you please let me know more about your setup i.e. if you’re using an emulator / what OS you’re on?
Cheers
Hi! I’m starting my first website (I have never paid for a domain or hosting in my life before) and i went straight to your theme.. And i gotta say i feel lucky for that! It looks so awesome! I’m having so much fun customizing my portfolio that i can’t believe i haven’t done that before.. Haha..
With that said, i have a couple of questions.. Is it possible to change my logo color on hover? (I can see that working for text but not for an image file)
Also, is there any chance i can use images and not text on menu items such as work/about/blog/store and projects description (on hover) in this page? >>> http://www.shyamagolden.com/
Cheers and thank you for your work!
Hey ricpolisel!
If you wanted to use images for menu links it would require some modding to the header.php file – namely replacing the default menu output function with custom links all together. A similar mod would be needed for the image swap on hover for the logo. This way css could be used to handle the image swapping
Cheers
doing it only for the image swap on hover for the logo would be too much work?
i’m trying to figure it out by myself seeing how the logo changes on transparent header.. is there a place where i can see the actual codes for that so i can try to make some kind of reverse engineering?
thanks
looking on the web i just found that it’s possible to desaturate or change opacity of an image on hover using css? would that be easier to do with the logo instead of swapping images?
Hey again – if your goal was to simply desaturate the image then yes, that would be a lot easier
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
#logo:hover img {
-webkit-filter: grayscale(100%);
-moz-filter: grayscale(100%);
filter: grayscale(100%);
}
i can’t get it to work, is it supposed to work with all images extensions? i’m trying with a png logo but no luck yet. maybe changing something in header.php would work?
thanks for your help. cheers!
Hey again! Try this instead
#logo:hover img {
filter: url("data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg xmlns=\'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\'><filter id=\'grayscale\'><feColorMatrix type=\'matrix\' values=\'0.3333 0.3333 0.3333 0 0 0.3333 0.3333 0.3333 0 0 0.3333 0.3333 0.3333 0 0 0 0 0 1 0\'/></filter></svg>#grayscale");
filter: gray;
-webkit-filter: grayscale(100%);
}
HA! it works! awesome man! just one question though, what’s the use of the w3.org link on this? i mean, if the url of this svg pages changes for some reason i’ll have to change it too?
anyway, thanks for your help! cheers
hey! the only issue i’m having is, it doesn’t work on all browsers.. i tried making that “logo change thing” instead of desaturating it, and i got to show a different logo on hover using this:
logo:hover {
background: url(my second logo url) no-repeat; }
but i couldn’t manage to hide the first logo, so when i hover, both of the logos appear.. i tried using this too:
logo:hover img {
display: none; }
but i’m not sure if that’s right, because that didn’t work..
thanks man, sorry for bothering you with so many questions.. but i feel like i’m almost there.. haha 
Hey again,
Because it’s an actual image tag there’s no way to make that work with a bg image easily – you’d need to actually either change the source of the img tag on hover via javascript or add another image tag in the header.php so you could alternate which one is visible with the hover/default states
Cheers
Hi there,
I have a few styling questions which would really appreciated if you could answer
1) I’ve seen many people ask about changing how much the header logo shrinks when scrolling; is it possible to actually change to a different logo when scrolling rather than resize?
2) Similarly, is it possible to change to a different header logo when viewing below 1000px? I’ve seem the custom CSS to maintain the logo size, but to change the logo would be brilliant
@media only screen and (min-width : 1px) and (max-width : 1000px) {
body header#top #logo img {
height: 54px!important;
}
#header-outer {
height: 80px!important;
}
}
3) Finally, is there any way whatsoever to modify the header so that the twitter links etc scroll off the page when you scroll down but the navbar with the logo remains at the top of the screen; and when the twitter bar disappears, then the logo shrinks (or changes logo!)? This is a longshot, but if possible, would be absolutely marvellous.
Many thanks, and great theme.
Hey aduncan1987!
1. This would only be possible when using the transparent header – different logos can be used for the transparent & non transparent states.
2. There’d need to be a different logo added into the header.php file in which css could then be used to reveal/hide it depending on whether it was mobile or not.
3. This is actually an item that’s already on the wishlist for future development
Thanks very much for the reply. Looking into option 2, I’m unsure how to implement this; doesn’t header.php just contain references to logos, etc?
Ok, I’ve made some development regarding the CSS but I’m unsure how to link the new image into the website. I have the image stored in ”../themes/salient-child/img/logo-small.png” and I’ve attempted to add the extra logo to header.php as an extra attribute copied from “logo” but with the following different lines:
<a id="logosmall" href="<?php echo home_url(); ?>" echo="">></a>
and
echo '<img class="'.$default_logo_class.'" alt="'. get_bloginfo('name') .'" src="img/logo-small.png" />';
But no matter what I’ve tried (using quotes, ”../img” notation, dots), when I load the webpage and resize to mobile resolution, it just displays a broken image. Any idea where I’m going wrong?
Many thanks
Hey again!
Change that to
echo '<img class="'.$default_logo_class.'" alt="'. get_bloginfo('name') .'" src="'.get_template_directory_uri().'/img/logo-small.png" />';
Many thanks again for your assistance I’ve had a few days off so please excuse my late response.
The above works well, but only after I copied the image from the child theme’s /img directory to the parent theme’s /img directory. Is it possible to do this using the child theme’s directory?
Also, is it possible to change the header’s padding when in 1000px and below so there’s less of a gap between the top of the header bar and the image?
Thanks a lot
Hey again!
1. To get it to pull from the child theme directory use this:
echo '<img class="'.$default_logo_class.'" alt="'. get_bloginfo('name') .'" src="'.get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/img/logo-small.png" />';
2.
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
body header#top .col.span_9 {
min-height: 42px!important;
}
body #header-outer {
padding-top: 4px !important;
}
}
Cheers
Absolutely spot on. Thank you very much for your help with this issue and for such a good theme! I’ve just realised that I haven’t updated recently so I shall be obtaining a sign-off to get our site updated with the latest theme update and hope nothing dies!
Many thanks again
You’re very welcome!
Absolutely love this theme. Love it.
Thanks a lot LostMarbleMedia!
Cheers
I am wondering if there are any plans to update the version of Visual Composer in the theme or, alternately, instructions for using a stock version of Visual Composer with this theme? I realize I would loose some theme functionality, but my client has a greater need for a frontend editor. Thanks for any help.
Hey njbabs,
If you wish to use the raw version you could deactivate the Salient VC in the general settings tab of your theme options panel and then rename the folder “wpbakery” inside of the theme directory to anything else. After doing those two things you should be able to use the raw plugin
Cheers
Great, this was the only thing holding me back from purchasing.
Good to hear!
hi there i already sent you email but no reply. I am having an issue with the short codes. I watched your video and it shows a complete list of short codes available, however on my install i only see half the number of sc on both the classic and visual editors and the one i really need the text block is not there at all. There is the text with icon sc but i need the text block for most of my site.
Please let me know ASAP how this issue can be fixed. my url is easydiymurphybed.com.
Thank you.
Mark
Hey Mark,
Are all of the elements activated in your Settings > Visual Composer section of the admin panel? If so, please open a ticket in regards so I can inspect your setup http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Cheers
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

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/
Cheers
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

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
