Does your shortcode list include a function for lightbox content, rather than just the lightbox image gallery?
Hey jjezjay,
As of now there’s no lightbox functionality built in for that through shortcodes and it would require some custom markup/css to get it to work through the native lightbox (prettyphoto)
Cheers
Hi, I really love the theme!
I have used your custom css to upload an image to the background that appears before our video plays on our home screen. The only problem is that the image is tiled and cut in half. The css is what you have provided to other users. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this problem? Thank you!
Hey SkoposWorks,
can you provide your URL so I can check this out/assist further? 
Cheers
Hi, I have found another direction I would like to go with the load screen! Thank you for your help though!
Sorry for the shotgun responses… Is there anyway to keep the custom loading icon from appearing upon first load on the home screen? It interferes with the preview image on mobile devices. Thanks again!
Hey again! Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.nectar-slider-loading .loading-icon {
display: none!important;
}
Awesome! Thank you!
You’re welcome 
Hello again, ThemeNectar!
I am wondering if there is some custom css I could put on the home page to hide the menu buttons until the user scrolls down. I would like only the menu buttons hidden, not the logo.

Hey again!
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
#header-outer.transparent nav {
opacity: 0;
}
Awesome, that worked to take hide it but how would I make it appear when they scroll down the page?
Thank you!
Hey!
Have you modded the init.js file to not remove the transparent class on scroll? Without that this actually won’t be possible with css alone unfortunately unless you turn on the header resize effect (just so some state changes on scroll which you can use css to target)
Yes I have. and I see. Thank you I am now having trouble with the menu items. When forcing the navigation to transparent I lose the custom header colors I have chosen for hover/ active. etc. How do I use the force transparency but also retain my custom header colors?
That makes sense since the transparent header has its own state of color as chosen by the starting color selected in the header options tab – if you want to override that use this:
body #header-outer.transparent header#top nav > ul > li > a:hover {
color: red!important;
}
Awesome! Thank you for all of your help and quick responses! I’m sure it can be quite overwhelming.
You’re very welcome 
Down arrow in Nectar Slider image gallery?
Hi, when using the Nectar Slider Style to insert an image gallery in a portfolio item, there is no Down Arrow option like the original Nectar Slider. Any ideas on the best way to add this so the down arrow function can be used here as well?
Hey kylepink,
As of now that would require some modding to the Visual Composer element but I’ve noted to add that in for the next update 
Cheers
Ok thanks. Which file is responsible for the slider when used this way as a gallery, still nectar-slider.js? Maybe I can make the edit here so the arrow automatically exists on every Nectar slider.
The file responsible for the markup is actually nectar/nectar-vc-addons/vc_templates/vc_gallery.php – you’d need to mod it to include the down arrow markup which you could find in the functions.php file 
Thanks!!
You’re welcome 
Hi ThemeNectar, How do I change the text size from the about me slider without changing the size of all the other sliders texts I have set up on different pages?
I want to make look similar to the about me Creative template. Heading bigger and bold, following by the text below being smaller with light font and same type of alignment between texts on your page template.
Thank in advance.
Hey vitafitness,
To vary the font attributes for a specific slider would require css – you’d need to add a class to the row holding the slider which you could use to target the h2 & p elements within it to get the unique styling 
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar, thanks for your prompt reply. Are you able to supply the CSS code to apply on the Salient Options pane please? The slider I’d like the text sizes applied is “About me” page. I believe the word to input on the Extra Class field will depend on the name given on the css code, right? URL: http://www.tsilvafitness.co.uk/about-me/
Hey again!
Just to point out, the demo actually doesn’t use a slider on the about page – it’s just a page header (which can be set to have a different font than sliders)
If you actually want to use a Nectar Slider though, add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.page-id-596 .swiper-slide .content h2 {
font-family: Lovelo,sans-serif!important;
font-size: 80px!important;
line-height: 90px!important;
}
.page-id-596 .swiper-slide .content p {
font-family: 'OpenSansLight'!important;
font-size: 28px!important;
line-height: 28px!important;
}
Cheers
Hi there, thanks again for helping. I liked the page header option you’ve given, specially because adding the CSS code was messing with the layout from the pie chart and text coming just after the slider. But I’ve got another problem. I’ve changed the font size on the typography, however it also changes the size from the titles on my portfolio pages. How do I change the size from the page header from the about me page only?
Thank in advance. 
Use this to control the single project titles independently:
html body.single-portfolio .row .col.section-title h1 {
font-size: 80px!important;
}
Great Theme! Is there a built in way to assign an id to a row or section of any given page so that i can create a button that will link to it similar to the way the down arrow reacts when using the nectar slider? I basically want to create a “www.page.com/#section” link but I’m having trouble because I have to account for the menu height.
Thanks vikerious!
this will be coming in the next update so you won’t have to play with the anchor positioning anymore – however for the mean time here’s some solutions: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10732690/offsetting-an-html-anchor-to-adjust-for-fixed-header

Appreciate the help!
You’re welcome 
hey mr nectar!
i got two questions:
I’m using the boxed layout, and when transitions are off, the background/header don’t disappear when changing pages. When it’s turned on it all goes white. Is it possible to keep the background and logo all the time when the Ajax Transition is loading the page?
also, i’d like to know if this is possible in the header: centralized logo, with only two navigation links, one on each side of the logo.
something like this: http://oi61.tinypic.com/4javir.jpg
Hey ricpolisel!
1. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel
#ajax-loading-screen {
z-index: 1000!important;
}
2. That would require modding the header.php file to include another menu location and then css to adjust the logo/menu positions
Cheers
1. it worked with the header, is it possible to make it work with the background pattern too? (i’m using boxed layout)
2. is it possible to cheat by putting both logo and navigation centered, but making the distance between navigation links a little wider, so the logo sits between them?
if it’s not possible i’ll try to figure out what to do with the header.php, but i have a question, if i update the theme, am i going to lose what i change on that file?
thanks bud
Hey again,
1. Unfortunately this would take some custom development (moving the loading cover screen inside of the boxed div)
2. Yes but the css required for that would take some finesse – a developer on Envato studio should be able to wrap it up for you though
3. Not if you keep the modded header.php file in a child theme 
Cheers
hey mr nectar!
i contacted three guys on Envato Studio to ask about only the Centering Logo + Links, one of them asked US$300 and the other two said they couldn’t do it. i guess 300 bucks is a little too much, but i might be wrong. i just wanna know if it’s something that requires too much work? if it isn’t and you can give me a recomendation of someone i’d appreciate it very much! thanks
Hey!
$300 might be a bit too steep since the mod would only take about an hour – unfortunately I don’t have any direct person to recommend though
alright, no problem. can you just help me with centering the logo? i followed some instructions you gave someone here, but it didn’t work. it centered the logo, but it messed up the header, making it taller. i’m using the boxed layout, btw.
Are you trying to not have the logo on its own line? If so, which side would you want the nav items to sit on?
no, i’m just trying to center the logo on a header that doesn’t change width when i roll the window and it’s 50px tall on a boxed layout.
but when i use a css code to center the logo i found here somewhere, the header gets taller, maybe around twice its height, with the logo centered and the navigation where it’s supposed to be (far right), but i’d like to keep that initial height.
if it’s too hard to understand i’ll send you a screenshot tomorrow, cheers
If you can share your URL I’d be glad to assist 
First of all GREAT THEME & FANTASTIC VIDEO TUTORIALS! Love this theme and all it can do. I am having problems with video playing in the Nectar Slider in firefox. I have both .mp4 and .webm videos uploaded. It works great in chrome and safari. Website here.
I also have the same problem with the location marker not showing up on the map. But I am sure that is being worked on. Thank you! Can I give this theme 6 Stars????
I also noticed when I make the video the first slider, it breaks the slider(on firefox, fine on chrome) and nothing shows up. I’ve added a .ogv and it works but the quality is terrible so I took it down.
Nevermind I added #
# Serve webm files as WebM video and ogg files as Ogg video
#
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType video/webm .webm to my .htaccess file and it is good to go!
Thanks so much awerm! Glad you sorted the video issue – as for the map marker, that was sorted in todays update 
Cheers!
Great theme! For some reason the call to action is disabled on the about page. How do I include the about page, it is now highlighted as excluded. I would like it to be shown on the about page though.
Thanks!
Hey helimarc! Anyway you could open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I could check on that for you? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
# BEGIN WordPress
AddType video/mp4 mp4
AddType video/mp4 m4v
AddType video/ogg ogv
AddType video/webm webm
AddType video/webm webmv
# END WordPress"
If you can help me with that, it will be great Thanks =D
Hey sckuze, glad to hear you sorted it! 
I just want to say what an AMAZING theme this is!!! I love it, no problems and my site gets a lot of compliments and seen an increase in business! Thank you guys!!
Thanks so much artiium21! I’m glad to hear about the positive feedback you’ve gotten

How would you suggest creating a frontend login?
Hey danielaronson, the easiest way would be through the use of a plugin – otherwise you’d need to edit it directly into the header.php file
Can you provide me with the proper CSS to overwrite the browser width that causes the text to shrink. My client has a smaller laptop, and once we break that threshold (1280px) it shrinks it all down.
I researched this questions first, and there seem to be a lot of varying solutions that suggest you do something like:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1300px) {
.container {
max-width: 1200px;
}
}
But that hasn’t seemed to make any difference. Using a screen ruler I can still see at the moment my browser gets smaller than 1300 across, all the text (in particular H2’s) get tiny.
FYI, there is some other code that your team provided to modify a portfolio feature, and that code is currently wrapped in the tag
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) { ... }
But this is related specifically to the body .portfolio-items classes.
Thanks!!
Hey sbarrante! Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1300px) {
.col h3, body h3 {
font-size: 20px!important;
}
.col h2, body h2 {
font-size: 26px!important;
}
}
Thanks, I appreciate the response. This, unfortunately is causing the text to stay that fixed size regardless of screen size, so on Mobile the headers are quite large.
I’d love to just adjust the limit so it’s not 1300px, it’s reduced to 1200. Same behavior, just a bit more tolerance. As my client’s laptop is at 1280, and all the headers jump down to the next smallest size.
Thanks!!
Sorry, I assumed that’s what you wanted – just change the snippet to this 
@media only screen and (max-width: 1300px) and (min-width: 1000px) {
.col h3, body h3 {
font-size: 20px!important;
}
.col h2, body h2 {
font-size: 26px!important;
}
}
Hi there, I made a logo carousel on my homepage, but it only loads about 50% of the time. Thoughts? www.soapbrand.com
Hey danielaronson, are you on v4.5.2+? This was an issue that was sorted in that version.
My Google map icon is not working either.
Hey trajan90, this was sorted in todays update 
I just do a fresh install of Salient 4.5.2 on WordPress 3.9.2 (The latest version) all the theme options are not working. When I hover over each menu options I can see a javascript:void(0):
Hey bizhoop, if you’ve ensured it’s not a plugin conflict please open a ticket with your admin credentials so I can see what the issue is
http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Just a head’s up, there is an issue on the google maps feature, not allowing the icons to show.
Hey clixgroup!
There was a change in the Google Map api which caused this to stop working approximately sometime yesterday – I just pushed an update to sort it which is available for download on ThemeForest now though 
Cheers
Thank you, Where is this fix available?
nvm. got it 
Glad to hear 
Just finished building a beautiful website with your amazing theme, so many thanks!! one question though: is there a simple way of removing the sidebar from the single post page type without messing around with the template php files? Best Regards, Ofer
Hey fafchook!
Yes – Salient v4.5+ offers an option in the blog options tab of the Salient options panel to do this 
Cheers
Thanks.
You’re welcome 
I want to customize the search field in the menu to instead be an email form field, how would I do that?
Hey freshlesh3,
You’d need to modify the header-search.php file located inside of the includes directory to get at the markup for that 
Cheers
Just a heads up, it looks like the map icons are not working… They stopped on my site and checking your demo it looks like they are broken there too…
Just to clarify I am talking about Google Maps and the icons that display at the lat, long that you set.
Hey Knux0r!

I purchased this theme in June. I activated infinite scroll on the blog page in that version but it does not work. Does it only work for certain blog layouts?
Hey Radishwrangler,
It should work on all layouts – anyway you can share your URL so I can take a look?
Cheers
It is turned on in the Salient > Blog > Pagination Type option on the Dashboard but there is only an arrow at the bottom of the page (regardless of whether “Display Pagination Numbers” is on or off): http://www.blackdoghospitality.com/black-dog-blog/
Those settings are for the “posts page” that you would define in settings > reading in your admin panel – if you’re using the blog visual composer element you’d need to configured the pagination settings in the element itself: http://i.imgur.com/sKd2uqd.jpg
Thank you, it worked. I was not using the visual composer for the main blog page but once I switched and updated the visual composer to version 3.5(?), I saw the settings you shared above and made the appropriate change.
Hey Radishwrangler,
Good to hear 
Cheers
