Hi, can we use a white background instead of f8f8f8?
I saw your old custom CSS on the comments, but it doesn’t work (anymore):
body, .home-wrap {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
.carousel-wrap span.left-border, .carousel-wrap span.right-border {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
Hey surfaap,
use this 
.container-wrap, .project-title, #page-header-bg {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
Cheers!
Thank you sir!
You’re welcome
Hello ThemeNectar! I wonder if you can sort the portfolio by the votes received, the most ratings will be on top of the page. What changes I have do?
Thank you! MGL83
Hey mgl83!
Unfortunately this isn’t possible as of yet – but could be acheived through some query modding in the shortcode-processing.php file located in the nectar/tinymce folder
Hey ThemeNectar love your support bro really awesome. I was trying to password protect a page in the admin panel but I noticed that it doesn’t work if the page is a shop. I didn’t know if it was specific to your theme or not but just wanted to know if you ran across that problem. THanks again. If you want to take a look at it just let me know.
Thanks a lot ivory2345!
Have you tried to deactivate the theme to see if it effects others as well?
Cheers
Yeah I noticed it worked with Salient on the home page but not the shop. So it has something to do with the shop, having products on the page. I don’t think it has anything to do with the theme. But thank you for checking.
You’re welcome – if you find any new updates let me know
If I have a fullscreen, parallax nectar slider and I activate the button that says “Insert Down Arrow That Leads to Content Below?” is it possible to have the header remain transparent while the slider scrolls to the content below and then change to a solid color?
Thanks
Hey andyb809,
Unfortunately this wouldn’t be possible without some custom javascript development as of now
Cheers
Hi Nectar. First off, congrats on hitting the 20k mark. Awesome job…you should be very proud. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next.
Is there a way to keep the Portfolio menu active when viewing individual Portfolio pages? I thought I had this solved using .current-page-ancestor, but no luck. I also tried targeting the menu item itself. I just can’t seem to get the right combination. Thanks!
Thanks joe88!
Anyway you can share your URL so I can check out the pages for you to assist?
Cheers
Hi,
Any way to add more than two buttons to the nectar slider? I’m trying to find the files for it but can’t seem to locate them.
Update
I’ve found the nectar-slider-meta.php file and added additional button meta via copying what was there. I changed the id’s so they’re different fields too. But now I can’t seem to find the file that outputs the buttons to the page. Any help?
Hey jjezjay! The file that would actually output the button is going to be the functions.php – just search for “nectar slider” to end up at the right place
Hello,
can you take a look at my ticket #250379 please?
Thanks, David
Hey David,
I’ll be with you as soon as possible

Hi TN,
Just wondering if you could suggest how I replace ‘Leave A Reply’ for ‘Speak your mind’ for all comments (blog posts, portfolio etc). Also what is the best way to have a link next to it, saying ‘Read comments policy’ linking to a page? I assume I will need to add/modify some HTML in the child theme?
Kind regards Peter
Hey Peter!
You could modify that text in the comments.php file which could indeed be stored in the child theme. (The second mod would also need to take place it in file as well)
Cheers
Hi TN,
I’ve got the change done for the text, however, I am not sure how to insert some HTML for a link into the php…
I did the first modification by changing this line;
'title_reply' => __( 'Speak Your Mind', NECTAR_THEME_NAME ),I want to insert
Comments policy
under the reply message.
Thanks, Peter
Bah, my message hasn’t come in how I wanted at all.. I will open a ticket!
Hey again, thanks for opening a ticket in regards
Hi Nectar,
Hope all is well. Still loving this theme.
I have a small bug when using the 1/3 layout. All my images are the same size, and I want to use them as a background images. However the last column seems to not want to make the background the same size as the first two, also the last row (I have two) also is slightly smaller then the others….any ideas please? or some CSS to make them all the same size please?
Hey 312Media
Can you share the page URL so I can take a peek?
Cheers
Hello my friend, your quick in replying as always. I am sorry, because I have had to make a ticket for this so that the URL is not in these comments if you check: Ticket: #265021 you can see what I mean. Thank you again sir, your theme and support is the best ever!
Hey again! Try adding this into the custom css box:
.wpb_row .span_12 > .col.padding-8-percent {
padding: 8%!important;
}
Hi, thanks for the help. When using the code, it corrects the size for the last column, however because there is not enough text on the first box, it makes that box look smaller. So I added some more text as a test, the result is the last box becoming the wrong size again. Is there anything else we can try? if I used 5 instances of the nectar slider instead would it affect load times much? thanks
1. If you wanted the boxes to always have the same height you’d need to set a static height with css by adding a custom class to each so you could target them.
2. As long as you’re ensuring the media used is at a web friendly size, the loading times should not be much greater than if you were to just place the images/videos on the page(s) by themselves
Thank you for your help:
I have gone with the nectar slider route.
can you give me the css to center the text and have it inline please?
I understand if I change :
<h2 style="opacity: 1; padding-top: 0px;">my text</h2>
to:
<h2 style="opacity: 1; width: 200px; padding-top: 0px;">my text</h2>
it will help, (but needs to be centered with padding) but I need to change it for all the sliders apart from the main one and make sure it is responsive.
What can I add in the css box please?
I was thinking:
.wpb_row .span_12 > h2 style=”opacity: 1; width: 200px; padding-top: 0px;”>
but Its not quite right.
thanks in advance
Hey again!
Anyway you could provide a quick mockup screenshot showing what you’re trying to achieve as I’m not quite sure as to what look you’re going for yet
Sorry for my delayed reply, I have updates the Ticket: #265021 so you can see the exact look i’m going for, nearly there now thanks for all your help.
Ok thanks for opening the ticket!
Hi TM
Firstly great job on an amazing template – brilliant, really is. Excellent work and support
I have a couple of questions if that’s OK:
is it possible to change the boxed layout option to start off as 1000px wide instead of the 1200px it is just now? If so, will this affect any of the responsive features of the template?
can the menu and search box be removed from the top bar but still retain the logo?
thanks in advance
Hey ConcertoLive! Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
#boxed {
width: 1000px!important;
}
#boxed #header-outer, #boxed #header-secondary-outer, #boxed #page-header-bg {
max-width: 1000px!important;
}
.container {
max-width: 900px!important;
}
}
Cheers
Does this theme have video backgrounds for the homepage ?
Hey jojo8026, As the demo shows – video backgrounds can go in any row you desire or in the Nectar Slider
saw your comment from karboo:
got another one for you – transparent header to fill color on scroll?say you are using a full screen slider on a page and want a transparent header so the menu and logo appear over the top of the image. then on scroll the header would fill in with set color.
and you answered that it’s on the wish list. but I notice that your frost wave sample does exactly that: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/
how?
Hey pirco, that answer was given before the feature was added in. To get the effect, you need to enable the transparent header option from the header tab in the theme options panel
brilliant!
Cheers
Hi,
Is there a shortcode or a anchor tag I can link a button to a lightbox with a video?
Hey ace,
Use this:<a class="pp" href="youtube or vimeo link here"> Link Text</a>
Cheers
Thanks! I just want say that you rock at support. Keep it up
Thanks a lot
Hi mate,
I known as in the “Compatible Browsers” section, you do not support IE8 anymore, but see if this is a quick fix, can you give me some suggestions? If we placed a image for the nectar slider, however, on IE8, the image is not full width. Is there a way we can display it full width? For instance, which options I should turn on? or which css file I need to modify?
Best Regards,
Patrick
Hey Patrick,
Is there anyway you can provide a URL so I can take a peek?
Cheers
Hi Mate,
The url is http://www.plutora.com/. The image is not full-width on IE8 on a large screen, thank you so much for your help.
Best Regards,
Patrick
Thanks – since IE8 doesn’t support background-size: cover in css, there’s no way without custom javascript to auto scale the image like in more modern browsers. However, if you just supplied a larger image it would appear bigger in IE8 and still work the same in other browsers
I’m having trouble getting my image gallery to display correctly, the images are distorting on the left leaving a gap to the right. I would like the images to fit full width.
Example: http://www.owenprescott.com/portfolio/photo-manipulation-digital-art/ Screenshot: http://postimg.org/image/rync5uifr/
I have tried disabling my plugins folder, emptying the cache and also multiple browsers and the issue still persists, even on a tablet. Any ideas?
Hey owenprescott,
It seems the element might be nested unnecessarily in rows – is there anyway you can open a ticket with login credentials so I can check on the page for you? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Cheers
Hi there,
how do i make the header look like the parallex demo home page? http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266 i know i can enable Mouse Based Parallax BG on a row, but this doen’t make it a header with transparent menu.
thank you
Hey crdesign1, the option for turning the header transparent exists in the theme options panel > header tab If you need to override it on certain pages, there’s checkboxes for that that will show up in the page header settings metabox once that option is active
Hi
Is it possible to replace the little arrow (icon-salient-down-arrow icon-default-style)? Would like something a bit more prominent.
Thanks
Hey fredrics1, you could modify that in the functions.php file located in the theme directory
I was incredibly disappointed that the latest release didn’t include the new Font Awesome set; including the coveted WordPress icon among others.
I read that the reason was because the new set uses a different naming structure and implementing it would force existing users to have to update all their icons. While that would be unfortunate, it’s the nature of the beast; Font Awesome is going to keep updating and Salient is going to fall behind if a change isn’t made. 
If you’re trying to maintain backwards compatibility with the old icon naming structure would it be possible to include both old/new sets in the theme? Possibly referencing the old font/css files something along the lines of “font-awesome-3.x.x.min.css”.
I’ve been able to override the old Font Awesome font files and add the icons to the existing font-awesome.min.css file that are missing that I wanted. However, the hover effect for the icons stops working (probably a CSS issue) and the new icons don’t appear in the shortcode generator. With that in mind if anyone wants to do the same thing here is how (backup your files first!):
1) Download/Extract Font Awesome 4.x.x from the Font Awesome Website.
2) Copy and replace the FontAwesome .otf, .eot, .svg, .ttf, .woff files in the Salient “CSS > Fonts” folder with the ones found in the Font Awesome 4.x.x “fonts” folder.
3) Open the Salient font-awesome.min.css file and change the @font-face lines to the following:
@font-face{
font-family:'FontAwesome';src:url('fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?v=4.1.0');
src:url('fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix&v=4.1.0') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=4.1.0') format('woff'),
url('fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf?v=4.1.0') format('truetype'),
url('fonts/fontawesome-webfont.svg?v=4.1.0#fontawesomeregular') format('svg');
font-weight:normal;
font-style:normal
}
4) At the end of that same file add the css for specific missing icons such as .icon-wordpress:before{content:”\f19a”}; you can find the new icon info in the Font Awesome 4.x.x font-awesome.min.css file.
Note: Be sure to use the the structure .icon-iconname:before and don’t just copy .fa-iconname:before.
- Alternatively a user could copy and replace the entire icon set from FA 4.x.x into the Salient font-awesome.min.css file and then rename all references of .fa-iconname:before to .icon-iconname:before
5.a) The new icons won’t appear in the shortcode generator, so pick your style, your color, and an icon then click “Add Shortcode”. In the shortcode change the lines image=”icon-name” to the name of one of the new icons (i.e. image=”icon-wordpress”)
5.b) Manually add an icon by using code, via the Text portion of the editor, similar to the following: <i class="icon-3x icon-wordpress accent-color" />
- The comment system is stripping my closing “i” tag for the above snippet. Be sure to add it when using this solution, it will look like this but without the spaces: < /i >
As mentioned there are some hiccups with this method so use at your own risk. Also keep in mind that any changes made to the parent theme will get overwritten in any future Salient updates.
I apologize ThemeNectar for such a lengthy post but wanted to share this work-around with other Salient users.
Hopefully we’ll see some kind of update that includes the new icons in the near future.
Cheers!
Hey CreativeCollaborations! Thanks for posting your workaround for using the latest FA for now – the most recent update was focused on bugfixes of 4.5 – but I will take the needed time to find the best solution for the next feature based update
Cheers
Hey I would like to add my own custom .css files to the theme and was wanting to know the best way to do this. The files are too large to be added to the custom css box you added, but I also didn’t want to add it to the style.css in the case of any updates.
Thanks
Hey jgrandinetti,
The correct way to handle that would be through a child theme style.css file – the latest download from ThemeForest also includes a starter child theme for you to use
Cheers
Hello again: is there a way to limit the arrows in the portfolio nav to specific categories vs. all ? thanks
Hey nancy1of1!
Yes – open the single.php file and replace this: http://pastebin.com/FnUs6x9T with this: http://pastebin.com/GrqSg84n
Cheers
ok, I did that but it’s still showing the other portfolio items. Should I be setting a specific tag or something? thank you again.
however there wasn’t a single.php file so I made the change in the single-portfolio.php I’m assuming that’s the correct place.
I mean the code wasn’t in the single.php.. good grief.. sorry for the confusion
Sorry – I did indeed mean to say single-portfolio.php – however if that didn’t fix it then you might not be using page headers in which case the same mod would need to be done in the functions.php file
hummm. ok it seems to already be in the functions.php so any other ideas? I’ll post a ticket in support with url and PW so you can take a look around.
AH-HA, I figured it out!! There are two lines of code for portfolio-nav and the second set //if no category page exists// lines 88 & 89 needed to be changed in the single-portfolio.php… whew..
Hey again – glad to hear you found it
