hey why wont the nectar slider work right on the mobile version like your does in the demo.
domain is kissthismakeup.com
AND THE small divider can be centered
can’t*
Hey thomasmkl,
1. You can set a minimum height when using the flexible height option to ensure your slide doesn’t get too small in height http://i.imgur.com/C1YMPq9.jpg
2. You just need to check the option for ” Centered Content Alignment” on your row which holds the divider 
I tried, even when I click the center tab it doesnt work
Can you please share the page URL where the divider won’t center for you?
Are you sure this option is checked on your column? http://i.imgur.com/GqJMFwa.jpg
dude yes.
but also I don’t have all those other options in my columns short cost and I have the latest download
shortcodes*
You need to switch into the visual composer view in order to get all those options: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4mt0lOJ888&list=UULadn-VhQG7cXY9UzMBj0Cw but if you’ve already built the entire page on raw shortcodes, please open a ticket in regards with your login credentials so I can assist further http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Hey men, do you are rising price? I’ve seen Salient there are some days. I come back today to buy but $58? This isn’t nice dude 
Hey danielcampos15, authors on ThemeForest has no say over the price of their items – Envato decided to globally raise the price slightly of items on the marketplace last week.
Can I buy directly from you?
Unfortunately the theme is sold exclusively on here – but as I mentioned, all themes on the marketplace were slightly increased in price so if I sold it directly I couldn’t sell it for under the default
Ok. thank you
You’re welcome
Hello, I just made a clean install on my ftp, coupled it with a fresh new database and import the ascend dummy data. But there is one problem: the ascend skin won’t load, only the standard skin.
What can I do active the right skin? Thank you!
Hey kortom!
Do you have the ascend skin activated in the theme options panel > general settings tab? If so, please share your URL
Cheers
Hi,
I did ofcourse. I have send you a message with a personal login so you can check out. Thank you in advance!
Thanks! Did you send it through one of the emails or post it privately on http://themenectar.ticksy.com ?
I just went live with my Salient site/WooCommerce, and love it! However I noticed this:
if you go to http://www.austinchristmascards.com
and click My Account in the menu. Don’t enter anything, just click Shop in the menu.
The site freezes on the ‘loading’ screen. Any ideas? I noticed it’s not a problem to go to other pages (contact, etc) from the the My Account screen.
Thanks for making this awesome theme!
Eric
That seemed to fix it – thanks! If it helps at all in debugging, that page is actually a product page. Maybe that has something to do with it.
Thanks! Eric
Glad it sorted it Eric & thanks for the note!
Actually, I spoke too soon I ended up having to turn of ajax page transitions completely as it was doing the same thing at different parts of the site.
Were the other pages related to any plugins?
It was more generic. For example, it happened on the home page, linking one of the short code buttons to /portfolio. I didn’t see an area to add a ‘noajaxy’ css class to the button shortcode, and since I had just ‘relaunched’, I turned it all off just to be sure.
Gotcha, well if you want to open a ticket in regards with your log in credentials http://themenectar.ticksy.com I’d be glad to check it out more for you
Thanks! I’m in a holding-pattern as I’m on some other work, but if I still see it happening in a few weeks I’ll open a ticket.
Sounds good
Cheers
Is there a way to display recents post just like the Ascend demo (home-extended page) portfolio items?
Hey CLRD,
Not automatically yet – but the idea to give the blog posts the option to use portfolio styling is already on the wishlist
REALLY looking forward to it 
Hi there,
Firstly, I love the site, think its great! No real issues with it all. One tiny thing on the homepage though http://www.11elevendc.com the rollover states on Recent Projects don’t seem to work if 1 of the images is set to a different size. I have a large landscape image and 2 square images as per your designs but when together they don’t work. Its even clearer when you look at http://www.11elevendc.com/home2.
Any help in this matter would be great.
Thanks.
Hey Leedr,
if you use the featured image instead of the custom thumbnail option the images will get auto cropped to fit perfectly into the recent projects display / regular non masonry portfolio as well
Cheers
Hey guys,
I’ve given this a real go and the theme doesn’t seem to allow this to work correctly with masonry as the style for the portfolio. If I have custom thumbnails, the homepage recent projects breaks and if I don’t have a custom thumbnail the portfolio page breaks. Can you help me out here?
It seems you’re uploading custom thumbnails at 500×500 for some of the images like http://www.11elevendc.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/11ElevenDC-UWE-PurpleFish-Entrance-Image.jpg which means that they will not be cropped for the default szie outside of the masonry portfolio – you would need to use all featured images that are at least 600px wide if you plan on using the default portfolio display (which the recent projects is). So for the items you’re using 500×500 custom thumbnails, if you used bigger images in the featured image such as 800×800 then the sizes for both the masonry portfolio and regular portfolio could be cut normally i.e. 500×500 & 600×400
And another question!
What’s the best practice to enter anchors (id’s) to shortcode elements for internal linking purposes? I noticed my own additions sometimes get removed by the Visual Composer, which makes me very sad :’(
Right now I’m trying to solve it by adding a raw html block just before an element, but this seems to introduces some extra vertical space, whatever styling code I add.
Any ideas?
Hey again,
The option to add ID’s directly to rows will be added once built in one page scrolling comes in the next feature based update – for now the only way to do this would indeed be to place id’s in the text tab like so:<div id="about" />
Cheers
well… they’ll get removed if you just use the text block. i don’t know why because it seems to happen quite random after several saves
Perhaps it’s from changing between the text & visual tabs – try to stay in the text tab to avoid that for the time being
To follow up on my question above: I’ve found inserting a Raw HTML block is currently the ONLY fool-proof way to insert the extra code required for internal links. Fool-proof meaning that it won’t get deleted when the VC opens automatically (or someone opening it accidentally).
Moreover, this method doesn’t break an existing vc_column setup (like inserting a div does mess this up depending on the parent tag), so I deem it way more future-proof.
====SOLUTION=====
So here is a typical example of what I currently insert into a Raw HTML block to make an internal anchor:
<div id="recent"><!-- internal link anchor --></div>
To remove the extra vertical space that a Raw HTML block introduces, you’ll have to add the following line to your custom css:
.wpb_wrapper > .wpb_raw_code, .wpb_wrapper > .wpb_raw_html {
margin: 0;
}
Hope this will help anyone else trying to use anchors!
Thanks a lot for posting this for others!
Hey there!
After installing (and uninstalling) WordFence, I’m stuck with the following error:
Strict Standards: Declaration of TGM_Bulk_Installer_Skin::after() should be compatible with Bulk_Upgrader_Skin::after($title = '') in [...]/wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/tgm-plugin-activation/class-tgm-plugin-activation.php on line 1893(redacted the exact filepath a little bit for privacy reasons)
I already researched a little bit, but from multiple threads like this one and this one here it seems that this should be taken care of in the theme code itself.
Would you know where / how to fix this matter exactly? Please note I have WP_DEBUG = true but I don’t think hiding this is a solution. thanks
Hey pyramus99, indeed this is a warning caused by the use of TGM + Redux options that would not appear unless debug was on – however I’ve noted to sort it for todays update
thanks, will check out your update soon!
Not sure why but my custom post type template is not being picked up.
I have a custom post type called “Listing” and works fine on the back end. I’ve created single-listing.php and still get a 404 while viewing. Same plugin works fine on my local machine not using salient.
Hey tygershark,
have you tried t o regenerate your permalink structure in settings > permalinks yet?
Cheers
Hello Team Nectar. Thanks for the beautiful theme. Could you help me with this: I want a page to display all blog posts (within a category) to display in “masonry blog no sidebar”. But I would like to remove all links to the actual blog-posts. So it becomes more an overview (almost a static page). With CSS I could remove of course the author, etc. But I can’t remove the A tags. Is it for example possible within the theme to duplicate the “Masonry blog no sidebar” option, and remove the A tags hard coded?
Hey EdwinV,
Try adding this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
article.post .post-header h2 a {
position: relative;
z-index: -9999 !important;
}
Cheers
Thanks Guys. Works like a charm! One more question: Is it possible to use a different logo file on the mobile version? (the compact version with the mobile menu). This because there is text in the image which isn’t readable anymore at that small size.
This is what I’ve tried:
.mobile .default-logo, .mobile .retina-logo {display: none!important}
.mobile #logo {background: url('XXXX.png') no-repeat; display: block; height: 40px;}
In browser it is working, on mobile devices not. Also you’re losing the retina functionality… Any other ideas?
Cheers, Edwin
Hey again! Anyway I could see the URL so I can check this out live?
I sent you a message through your profile page including URL. Thanks!
Instead of setting a BG image on the image tag itself – it would be better to add a new image into the header.php file in the logo area which you could hide/display based on the viewport
Dear ThemeNectar, we really like the theme but I have one question. Does this theme have that wide magazine type drop down menu so it can incorporate a teaser visual in it too? Very kind regards Lisa
Hey Lisa!
Unfortunately that wouldn’t be possible without the use of a plugin like ubermenu as of now
Cheers
One more question. Is there an option to put pricing tables in tab elements? I have 4 different types of products and want to switch between pricing tables, but there is no option to add table to tab element
Or am i doing something wrong ?
Hey oktuts,
You could get around this by switching into the default WP editor (outside of visual composer) and using shortcodes for both of those elements to bypass the VC restriction
Cheers
Hi, I tried to make the footer full-width using Custom CSS Code:
#footer-outer .container {
max-width: 95%!important;
}
However, the left and right margins of footer remained bigger than the left and right margins of full-width header (i.e. too big IMO). Playing with the percentage didn’t help either.
I’d like the full-width footer and header left and right margins to be the same. How could I do it?
Help would be appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
Hey teemuluo,
use this
#footer-outer .container {
max-width: 100% !important;
padding: 0 30px !important;
}
<pre>
Cheers</pre>
Thank you, that works fine.
You’re welcome
Hey,
I just thought that people could possibly use full-width footer (together with copyright) more often if there was an option for that. I thought this especially because there is already the great possibility to choose the full-width header.
Cheers
I’ve noted the idea to add that in as an option
Hey ThemeNectar,
I just thought some people might find this option useful (so as to make footer+copyright full-width) – now that there is the option to make the header full-width. Just an idea.
Cheers
Thanks for the additional feedback
Oh, I accidentally wrote it 2 times, I’m sorry.
No worries
Hello Nectar Team, The Nectar slider arrow is very small by design and I’ve found that most users don’t even see it or know that they can scroll down when they land on a full screen Nectar slider. Is there an easy way to get the scroll effect of the arrow to work on a nectar slider button? Please don’t say “Scroll to id” because it never works correctly when implemented in the slider. Any ideas would be great. Thanks!!!!
Hey RenderRebel,
It would take some custom modding to the functions.php to make that possible – however it would only require simple css to make the arrow bigger
body .swiper-wrapper .slider-down-arrow i.icon-default-style[class^="icon-"] {
font-size: 40px !important;
}
Cheers!
dear theme nectar,
I was setting up my blog page. I set it up as a ‘default’ blog page’ and show all blogs without excerpts. So that way people can scroll and read through the full blog on one page without having to click them.
However: All my posts contain featured images because I was using a blog page with excerpts in the past and of course it showed the featured images too. I tried different settings but I can’t seem to show the full blog post without that featured image on top of each post. Is it possible to make them invisbile? Is there a setting I might overlook?
Or do I have to remove all featured images from each blog post again? I didn’t want to do that just yet because I am still experimenting a bit with the style of my blog page. So I don’t want to remove all the featured images if I don’t have too, in case I would like to switch back to the previous blog view.
I hope you can help me
Kind Regards, irrimiri
Hey irrimiri,
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.post-featured-img {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar, you are golden, thanks so much for that!
You’re very welcome
Hey Salient,
First of all, really appreciate the fine support you guys give your customers! I recently updated wordpress and the salient theme, and somehow my audio player reverted back to an old player. In addition, the audio player can’t seem to find the file that it’s supposed to play (even though it was able to play them in the past). Do you happen to know how to get back to the Salient audio player and for it to actually be able to play the files again? Example below,
http://www.covlifecities.com/website/a-shepherds-song-about-being-shepherded/Hey charleswu7!
Are you using the standard WordPress audio shortcode? http://codex.wordpress.org/Audio_Shortcode
I believe I am, for reference here’s what I’ve used for the above post:
[audio mp3=”http://covlifecities.com/website/wp-content/uploads/audio/20140810_AShepherdsSongAboutBeingShepherded.mp3” ogg=”“]
Can you verify that no plugins are causing this by quickly deactivating any you might have to test?
Hi there,
I am having issues with the logo on the mobile version when the mobile menu displays. It keeps shrink to a size that is not readable. I tried pasting one of the codes and it did not work correctly. The width of the logo is 350 px and the height is 75 px. It can auto adjust in size to fit the size of screen but I would like it to be a lot larger then it is now. Maybe we we need to increase the size of the header in the mobile version too? The URL is http://flatrialcounsel.com
Hey loripien,
please see this in regards http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/46745/search/
Hi there,
Loving the theme, except the menu placement – are there plans in the future to add the option of having the menu below the logo? At the moment I am looking at buying this theme and the UberMenu plugin, however I am worried that with the logo and menu on the same “line”, it won’t look good – I would much prefer the logo to be in its own container/line, and the menu below it also in its own container/line.
Thanks!
Hey dxeptive,
as of now this would take some css which I could assist with
Cheers
Excellent, I have just purchased your theme
Great to hear dxeptive!
If you want to center the log on top of the nav use this in the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
header#top nav {
text-align: center!important;
}
header#top nav > ul {
float: none!important;
display: inline-block!important;
}
body #header-outer .span_9, body #header-outer .span_3 {
display: block!important;
float: none!important;
margin: 0!Important;
width: 100%!important;
}
header#top #logo img {
margin: 0 auto 20px auto!important;
}
Cheers
Thanks for this; what if I want to make the menu align to the left?
No problem! Change it to:
header#top nav {
text-align: left!important;
}
header#top nav > ul {
float: none!important;
display: inline-block!important;
}
body #header-outer .span_9, body #header-outer .span_3 {
display: block!important;
float: none!important;
margin: 0!Important;
width: 100%!important;
}
I absolutely love this theme! One question though regarding share counts.
All of my pages/subpages report the same share totals for Facebook/Twitter/etc. The site hasn’t even been launched yet to ‘share’. I suspect I am looking at old share numbers for the domain as a whole.
From reading other comments on here, it looks like Salient is using the Graph API to get these numbers.
However, from what I’ve read of that API, it sounds like that may not be the best way? Comments on this page:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5699270/how-to-get-share-counts-using-graph-apisuggest using the fql endpoint (whatever that is).
Any thoughts on this?
Thank you! Eric
Hey Eric!
Can you share your URL so I can check this out for you?
Cheers
Hey there – actually, it looks like it cleared up when the page went live! (I had a ‘coming soon’ page up there, so the site was only accessible to logged-in admins. Once I went live, it fixed itself). Thanks!
Glad to hear you got it sorted!
Hi there, I’ve got the blog working but the comments aren’t showing. I’ve got everything set up to show, but not sure why it’s working. Can you help me please?
Regards,
David.
Hey David,
Can you please share your URL so I can take a look?
Cheers
I can, but it’s in maintenance mode as it’s under development. Should I ping you the access details?
....UPDATE – the issue appears to be with the ‘Ascend’ theme option selected. If I change to ‘Original’ the comments show up. Please advise how to fix. Many thanks, David.
This is a known issue that occurs only if the author bio option is turned off in the options panel – this will be sorted in todays update
