Hey Phil!
Hope you doing fine man. I have a quick question regarding the Portfolio. When sorting the Portfolio, it says “Sort Portfolio” and then it has all the categories and what not. Is it possible to rename the “Sort Portfolio” to “Sort Businesses”?
Thanks!

Hey Gareth!
You can change this with the “Custom Portfolio Page Sortable Text” field in the portfolio options tab in the Salient options panel

border: 2px solid #000;
}

Hello! Love the theme!
It looks like the marker support for the map/contact page has stopped working. Not sure why – I haven’t made any changes to that section. But for some reason, the marker isn’t appearing anymore. Here’s the page:
http://www.austinchristmascards.com/contactAll the map info in the settings and the map insert on that page have the marker set to:
30.224185|-97.953528|Our awesome location
which should drop it right on that map.
Looking at the code, it should be appearing. Here’s the relevant code from the browser:
<div id="map_53f5fdcc138e3" style="height: 500px;" class="nectar-google-map" data-greyscale="1" data-extra-color="#009eed" data-enable-animation="false" data-enable-zoom="1" data-zoom-level="12" data-center-lat="30.245573" data-center-lng="-97.801495" data-marker-img="https://austinchristmascards.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/intro-graphic4.png" /><div class="map_53f5fdcc138e3 map-marker-list"><div class="map-marker" data-lat="30.224185" data-lng="-97.953528" data-mapinfo="Our awesome location" /> Any thoughts?</div>
Hey EricDoggett, this was fixed in yesterdays update (v4.5.21) – Google made a slight change to their API which required the theme to be updated 
Thanks for the quick reply! It looks like this still isn’t working, though. I’m on a child theme of 4.5.21 (according to the theme details panel in WP). I also tried using the theme without the child theme: http://austinchristmascards.com/contact/
Hey again! I’m still seeing your map.js file as the old version – please ensure that the contents of that match the latest release. I just downloaded the version on TF again to verify that it’s the correct and working code 
Thanks – fixed now! I just replaced that individual file. Odd though how that file didn’t get updated when I copied the new theme folder over..
That is odd but glad to hear you got it 
Hi,
My map marker was working fine on the contact page but has now gone missing. No settings have been changed. Tis is the page http://www.motivmedia.tv/image-technique/contact/
Please advise.
Thanks,
Rory
Hey Rory,
Please update to the latest version to get the fix for that – v4.5.21 sorted it which was released yesterday 
Cheers
Could you possibly tell me which files I need to update that relate to the map? I tried updating the whole theme but it has changed created some unwanted changes to my design for some reason.
Thanks
You could update js/map.js, functions.php and nectar/tinymce/nectar-gmap.php 
Hi,
Thanks for the response.
I changed the functions.php and map.js files
No sign of the other file – nectar/tinymce/nectar-gmap.php in the documentation
Unfortunately all I get is a black box where the map should be
My apologies, the file is actually located at:
nectar/nectar-vc-addons/vc_templates/nectar-gmap.php
Hi, 
I’d like to have a subtle pattern (i.e. a repeating image) behind my blog page. How could I do it?
I have a Blog page and the Blog element on a row. I tried to edit the row of Blog element: I added a background image and chose ‘Background Repeat’. Yet nothing happened. I didn’t see the image. What did I do wrong?
Kind Regards, Teemu
Hey Teemu!
Anyway you could share the URL of the page where it didn’t apply so I could take a look?
Cheers
Hey,
sure, thank you so much. Here it is: http://puusto.com/blog/Thanks! I can’t see any image getting applied in the code either so could you kindly open a ticket in regards with you admin credentials so I can check out the backend setup? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Cheers 
That worked, thank you again. 
You’re welcome 
Hi i’m trying to create 2 different menus for the homepage and pages other than the homepage but having problems. I’ve followed the instructions here: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/132615/search/ I can’t get the homepage to show the menu, but my other pages show the 2nd menu. From what I can see when I search the homepage, the menu is there but just not visible. Would you know why this is happening? www.nelsontai.com
it looks like my homepage menu went into a div called ‘menu-submenu-container’. no idea how it got there or how i can make the menu appear back
Hey siumaiii!
in this step:
if (is_front_page()) {
wp_nav_menu (array ("theme_location" => "homepage"));
}
else {
wp_nav_menu( array('walker' => new Nectar_Arrow_Walker_Nav_Menu, 'theme_location' => 'top_nav', 'container' => '', 'items_wrap' => '%3$s' ) );
}
The attributes of the wp_nav_menu should still be the same as the other, I was just trying to emphasis the change of the theme_location parameter. So it should look like:
if (is_front_page()) {
wp_nav_menu (array ('walker' => new Nectar_Arrow_Walker_Nav_Menu, "theme_location" => "homepage", 'container' => '', 'items_wrap' => '%3$s' ));
}
else {
wp_nav_menu( array('walker' => new Nectar_Arrow_Walker_Nav_Menu, 'theme_location' => 'top_nav', 'container' => '', 'items_wrap' => '%3$s' ) );
}
Cheers
Thanks for the quick reply! Works perfectly now!
You’re very welcome 
Hi, really love the theme, especially it’s highly support of woocommerce! I’m now bulding my on-line shop, it’s amazing! But i have a question here…how to make a drop down list of my product for choosing color? I already set up the attributes but it only shows text but not a drop down list. And how to make a text area for buyers write down their needs?
The product page is here: http://www.nihao.com.tw/shop/nb-amnimal/thanks!
Hey guys,
We’re not able to get Facebook or Twitter login with the ‘Jetpack Comments’ add-on. The support forums are telling me the theme needs to be updated to use the newest comment function.
Here is the link: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comment_form
Thanks in advance, great work as ever!
Hey Eastworks!
Salient already uses the latest comment form function – something else must be at play. Anyway you could open a ticket in regards so I can check it out further? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Hi ThemeNectar,
it is good to see the theme is still going strong and updates keep on coming. Way to go!
I have a question on implementing a JotForm Shortcode in a Row ( tried text block & even raw html ). It just show the jotform shortcode on the live page instead of actually showing the actual Jotform. I’ve tried the plugins [ Form Generator for Wordpress ] & [ Jotform Integration ]. Contact Form 7 doesn’t play well with my server. Is there a way to make Jotform happen?
Hey ncvdv!
Have you attempted to switch themes for a minute to see if the shortcode will parse to ensure it’s a conflict with Salient?
Cheers
Hi there,
Firstly, this is possibly my favourite Wordpress theme of all time. Great job. I have one request for help. I find that on iPad portrait view there is too much space left and right of the content, and that 2 columns breaks to 1 too early. Is there a way to extend the grid so I can keep 2 columns at iPad portrait size?
Thanks in advance guys. Dave
Hey Dave!
You’d need to modify the media queries in the responsive.css file:
@media only screen and (min-width : 690px) and (max-width : 1000px) { to have a lesser value than 1000px in order to change that
Cheers
Love the theme! Really awesome.
How do I get rid of the white space between 2 elements on a page. Have 2 text boxes that have different background colors and do not want the white space between them. Thanks Shannon
Hey Shannon!
There won’t be able whitespace between columns in the full width content row type, but if you’re not using that you’d need some css to close the gaps. Can you share the page URL so I can take a peek?
Cheers
it is actually the rows not the columns. Thanks
In that case just ensure the rows are set to full width background or full width content for their type – if that’s still not working please share your URL so I can take a peek 
that did it. One other question. Want to change the color of the name of the person quoted in the testimonial slider. Different from the quote.
Use this in the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.light .testimonial_slider blockquote span, body .testimonial_slider blockquote span {
color: #000!important;
}
hey, i’m having a small Line Height issue on mobile and small screens.
if i have a heading with two or more lines they show up on top of each other. when inspecting the element i found that ticking off this box solved the problem: http://oi60.tinypic.com/bhnof7.jpgwhat should i write on custom CSS to overide this 16px Line Height thing?
Hey ricpolisel,
Try this:
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
html body.single-portfolio .row .col.section-title h1 {
line-height: 30px!important;
}
}
Cheers
it worked! thanks
one last question, is it possible to change the font used on portfolio thumbnails?
You can do that by changing the h3 font settings in your typography options tab in the Salient options panel 
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.
www.skoposworks.com
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/
