how do I make columns colored?
I don’t have that option. I have downloaded the newest version too.
Hey thomasmkl, the options exist inside of the columns within Visual Composer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpJWWM4BAboHello, I’m sorry to bother, I’ve tried to look for this topic but couldn’t find. When I see the Saliente preview on a mobile device, it’s all very clear, but once I configure my own website with the templeta, it does not work properly, slider won’t show properly in width (it “cuts” the edges) and other issues.
Can you please give me a hint on what can be done to solve this? You can see the website here www.agenciagreiscol.com
Thank you a lot!
Hey nerita!
You have the fullscreen option on for the slider which always adjusts the height/width to fill the entire screen (which will result in clipping). If you want to keep the entire image visible on any size window, use the flexible height option and turn the fullscreen off.
Cheers 
Regarding an earlier comment (http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/4363266/comments?filter=all&term=nectar+shortcodes+button&utf8=%E2%9C%93#comment_6064885), I’m having the same issue. Shortcodes themselves work fine within any widget (rich or plain text), but the “Nectar Shortcodes” button itself doesn’t show the shortcode wizard when it’s being accessed from a “rich text” widget. I’ve tried a few, seems to be a deeper issue.
Hey seanhoyt,
have you tried to deactivate/update your plugins to ensure none are conflicting? If so, please open a ticket in regards with your login credentials so I can inspect your setup further http://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Some really wired stuff is happening on my site. I noticed it a couple of hours ago. Yesterday I checked the option “Move Dynamic/Custom CSS Into External Stylesheet” and I also installed W3 Total Cache according to you advice. The issues I am experiencing is:
- The featured images on my portfolio page doesn’t show (http://new.fotabrollop.se/project-type/brollop/)
- Same issue on the front page (portfolio area) if you go from the portfolio page so it seems like the portfolio page is the root cause.
A few other issues also occur but I guess it is better to investigate the portfolio page as a start.
I tried to deactivate W3 Total Cache but then every page except the start page returned a 404.
Thanks,
Fredric
PS. I am using WIN 7/Chrome and Mac/Chrome (same problems in both). Galaxy S4/Chrome is fine though.
It works fine on Ipad 4
I disabled Minify and the problem is gone. Case closed
I have another W3 related ticket here though and I hope you will get to me on that when you have time. Thanks
Hey fredrics1! I’m glad you got that sorted – will be on the forum as soon as I can

Hello again, Why isn’t the “WooCommerce Layered Nav” widget appear in the product or product category page?

When I add video to the Nectar Slider, I get a quick black stutter when the video loops again. You avoided this with fading to black (one_more viking video in the demo), but what if I have a bright video and want to loop it? Outside of the theme, using HTML5 video, it loops ok without the stutter – I’ve used Miro Video Converter for creating .mp4 and .webm files.
Disregard, solved the problem myself (there was a blank frame added in the final compressor). Everything works fine in Salient.
Hey enorog, glad you sorted it!
How can I have more than 3 images for a carousel? No matter how small I make them Salient will only show 3.
Sorry – another question. How can you reduce the padding for masonry portfolio like in the demo? Have looked at instructions but this feature isn’t mentioned and I can’t find it in the options. Thanks.
Hey pinkgerbil,
1. The default carousel element is indeed set to only show a max of 3 columns – altering this would require changing this line in the init.js file:
var maxCols = ($(this).parents('.carousel-wrap').attr('data-full-width') == 'true') ? 'auto' : 3 ; (change the 3)
2. If you’re referring to this look: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/blog-masonry-fullwidth/ – you just need to activate the ascend skin in your general settings tab of the options panel
Cheers
Thanks, the supoort is what really makes this theme.
You’re very welcome
One more question
Is there a way to show the project date on the portfolio project page? Maybe right above the description text?
Thanks!
Hey AmyNYC,
If you turn the social sharing buttons off for the portfolio the date will take their place
Cheers
When I remove the #project-meta line from my custom CSS (the first line below) the heart appears again, even when I keep the second line of code in. Is it possible to show the date without the heart? And Is there a way to decrease the amount of space between the date and tags? Now it looks like too much space.
project-meta {
display: none!important; }
.portfolio-items .nectar-love-wrap { display: none!important; }
Really appreciate your help! Thank you!
Hey! Can you share a URL to one of the project pages so I can take a look?
Two new questions: 1. Is there a way to add the tags that live on the blog pages to portfolio pages? I’d like to use them like project attributes so when a user clicks a project attribute they can view all projects with that tag.
2. In the blog section, in stead of linking to a full blog post, is it possible to link a quote or image post to an outside url?
Thank you! Love love love the theme!
Hey AmyNYC,
Unfortunately these items would require custom development as of now, but I’ve noted the ideas for the wishlist
Cheers
Is there at least a way to remove the link entirely from the blog post? So it doesn’t link to a new page? Thank you!
Yes – add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
article.post h2.title {
position: relative;
z-index: -100;
}
Hi there,
Currently, if I have a video within a Nectar Slider, and apply a black gradient shadow to it ,such as our homepage ( http://www.plutora.com/ ), however, this is not going to work on IE9. So we came up with a simple solution, can we disable this video only on IE9 and replace it with a image?
Thank you in advance. I know you are the best.
Best Regards,
Patrick
Hey Patrick,
The video BG should show in IE9 – only IE8 should swap the video for the image, are you not seeing it display currently in 9?
Cheers
Hi Mate,
Just ignore this one, I managed to add a grey shadow to video itself.
Thank you very much,
Patrick
Glad you sorted it!
Cheers
Hey ThemeNectar!
Just a quick question about the menu: When using the transparent header, my menu is a little washed out (I know I can choose dark, but I prefer the white). What element ID do I target to change the color to bright white (#FFF) or change the opacity from .75 to 1?
Thanks!
Hey again cantedpictures!
body #header-outer.transparent header#top nav > ul > li > a, body #header-outer.transparent header#top nav ul #search-btn a span, body #header-outer.transparent .cart-menu .cart-icon-wrap .icon-salient-cart, .ascend #boxed #header-outer.transparent .cart-menu .cart-icon-wrap .icon-salient-cart {
opacity: 1!important;
}
Cheers
Nectar,
How can I remove the shadows on the buttons to make them look like the Nectar Slider Buttons?
Awesome theme 
Thanks Creativo_MX!
If you’re using the ascend skin no shadows will exist – if you don’t want to use that, add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.nectar-button.see-through, body .nectar-button.see-through, .swiper-slide .button a, body .nectar-button.see-through-2, .ascend .nectar-button {
box-shadow: none !important;
}
Cheers
Thanks alot! But now I have a second question!
I want to create a single pricing table, but seems like Visual Composer has a minimum of 2, is there a code for that too?
Thanks Nectar! xD
Aw $#!+ I forgot to ask, I would like to paste some code into the pricing tables as well, it’s basically a PayPal code for a button but it has a drop down menu integrated, whenever I paste it it only shows the code in text and not as a button with dropdown, how can I fix this?
Hey again!
1. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.pricing-table > div {
width: 100%!important;
}
.pricing-table > div:last-child {
display: none!important;
}
2. Make sure you’re entering your code in the text tab on your editor otherwise the HTML won’t parse
Worked! Thanks Nectar!
You’re very welcome
Hi Nectar I hope you Good!. Long time to ask you question, please check – Ticket: #263606
As you free. Please Check it my ticket actually it important
Hey Prashant! I’ll be with you on that as soon as I can
Hi Support
Having an issue with the sliders. If you notice, after one completed “cycle” the slides will “re-cycle” and repeat back to the first slide. This happens on another page with multiple sliders as well.
Also, is there a way to have the copyright line the full width of the site? Both issues can be previewed here:
http://compass.dxco.me http://compass.dxco.me/our-tutorsCheers! Dave
Also, how do I change the font/size of the blog title? And this may be a more general question but how do I upload profile images for my users?
Thanks so much! Dave
Hey Dave!
1. That’s the default behavior of autorotate – if you wish for the rotation to end after one go through delete this from the nectar-slider.js file:
$nectarSliders[sliderNum].swipeTo(0,800);
2. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
#copyright .span_5 {
width: 100%!important;
}
3a. Your blog is currently going to a 404 – which layout are you usng?
3b. The image for each author is grabbed from their gravatar associated with their email address
Cheers
1. Check out the sliders. They’re not behaving normally. After you watch the first completed cycle through, the slider will restart to slide 1 (which is okay), then slide 2 will appear, but it then will jump to slide 1 again. This happens on both my homepage and the tutors pages.
2. one of the clients deleted the blog, sorry – check it out now.
3. There’s no upload field for the email? Still not sure how to upload new images for users.
4. Also, anyway to change the leading for the headings? I have h3 and h4 set in the footer. The space between the number and email is quite large. compass.dxco.me
Thanks as always. Best theme + support I’ve worked with.
Hey again!
1. Ah I see what you meant now! It appears this is a new issue that only occurs when using the looped option – to fix it now on your end, open the nectar-slider.js file located in the js folder and change the current nectarSlideRotoate function to this: http://pastebin.com/AbqdPnt6
2. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
article.post h2.title {
font-size: 20px !important;
line-height: 34px !important;
}
3. WordPress uses the email address of the actual user account created. (This is standard WP functionality)
4.
.row .col h3 {
margin-bottom: 0!important;
}
1. I updated the nectar-slider.js file to reflect what you had posted. Now after the first cycle through, it goes slide one, quickly cycles through all of the slides only repeat and go back to slide one?
3. How would one go about updating the profile images then?
Cheers!
Hey again,
1. I’m still seeing your function look like this when viewing source: http://pastebin.com/yXmB3pbf without the changes I noted above
3. By setting up a gravatar https://en.gravatar.com/ for the same email address used to create to WP account
Cheers
So weird. I double checked and it did in fact update. The slider is also behaving slightly differently from the first time around since I added the updated code. Prior to updating with what you had posted, the slider would go slides 1-4, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3.. Now it’s going slides 1-4, 1, 1, 2, 3..
Thanks!
Hey! Anyway you can open a ticket in regards so I can take a further look? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Hi!
Within a portfolio item, a make a ton of edits and include them in the custom css box in visual composer.
Is there a way I can make these edits default for just the portfolio pages? There are other pages on the site that these edits would effect that I don’t want them to, but I also don’t want to enter these edits in the 200 or so portfolio items I have.
Let me know. Thanks!
Hey tonypantello!
If you moved the custom css into the main css box in the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel and simply added ”.single-portfolio” to the beginning of all the rules they would only apply to portfolio pages
e.g.
.single-portfolio p {
color: red!important;
}
Cheers
Great! This worked. But is there any way to designate CSS for a particular category in my portfolio? Like if my category was “Websites” could I just apply this to websites without editing the CSS for each project individually?
Hey again! Unfortunately this wouldn’t be possible without some custom development since there’s no class added for each category on the single page that could be used to bulk select all those items
Hey ThemeNectar!
After the update I noticed that the social media count in my portfolio ( https://cantedpictures.com/portfolio/im-director/ )was no longer appearing and ran the following error:
“[blocked] The page at ‘https://cantedpictures.com/portfolio/im-director/' was loaded over HTTPS, but ran insecure content from ‘http://graph.facebook.com/?id=https://cantedpictures.com/portfolio/im-director/&callback=jQuery111008196828824002296_1407867220627&_=1407867220628': this content should also be loaded over HTTPS.”
I’ve changed the files in Init.js to secure links, however the problem is still persisting. As a result, no share count is being listed for facebook or twitter as it is being blocked for insecure links.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks again
Update:
Wanted to also mention that I get the following errors on other pages as well:

Fixed the problem! Changed the “HTTPS” to ”//domain.com” and it seems to have resolved everything. Please let me know if that is the proper way to fix it!
Hey cantedpictures! Did you possibly already mod the sharing buttons to use https prior to the update and then lost it? Your fix of relative linking is indeed suitable though
Cheers
after updating theme the options now return an “internal server error”, tried this on 2 domains and same issue, switching my hosting firewall off makes a little progress but when i do this the theme options are blank.

Is there a way to create a content area like this? http://s23.postimg.org/85rzoi07v/content_area.jpg
So essentially there would be two backgrounds with one content area centered between both.
Hey freshlesh3,
As of now that would require some custom css to make it possible – the method would be two full width background rows with one default row between them – through css a negative top/bottom margin would be set on the default middle row thus pulling the other two rows under it (a higher z-index would be needed on the middle row as well)
Cheers
Any chance I could get the css div you would write in order to do that?
If you gave the middle row a class of “middle-on-top” then this would go in the custom css box:
.middle-on-top {
z-index: 10000;
margin: -150px 0!important;
}
Hi there! For the Mobile Weather app page, is there a way to use the provided theme’s icons instead of the custom weather icons?
Thank you!
Hey cvuong,
The icons on the Mobile Weather App project are just images so yes – you could replace them with whatever you want including the icon shortcodes
Cheers
