I notice on some of your demos you have a different loading page animation, on my demo page: http://richpearson.co.uk/ the loading icon doesn’t look right – how do I change the loading icon please (just need the one that appears: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/)
Cheers Rich
I have seen the options in Miscellaneous section of the salient and uploaded a new logo to there, I suppose all I need is a copy of the logo you use on the demo and how to alter it’s colours (if it’s css) please
The loader in ascend is specific to the ascend skin – if you activate that in the general settings tab you’ll get it 
Hi, I need to move the back to top functions to dead centre of my page how do I do that please?
Rich
And and change the code colours of it to white with black writing
dead centre at the bottom of the website eg at the top of the footer section on the line
Having it stuck at the bottom above the footer would require modding the structure of the footer.php since by default the back to button button isn’t even in the footer div – however, centering it would be possible with css alone:
#to-top {
background-color: transparent !important;
border: 2px solid #fff!important;
right: 50%!important;
height: 33px!important;
width: 33px!important;
}
#to-top:hover {
background-color: #000!important;
border-color: #000!important;
}
What mods would I need to do please to achieve this?
Moving the to-top code into the top of the footer div and then changing all the css related to it to remove the fixed positioning
I have added the css, and this works great, but where in footer.php do I move the following please (assuming this is the correct code to move)
<?php if(!empty($options['back-to-top']) && $options['back-to-top'] == 1) { ?>
<a id="to-top"><i class="icon-angle-up" /></a>
<?php } ?>
This also need to not scroll up the page and stay rooted to the footer
What’s the css to alter the nectar slider caption please?
Hey,
you already have complete control over that via the typography options – what are you trying to alter with it?
Can you overlay code blocks on the nectar slider? I want to add this:
<div class="page-desc"><p><a href="http://www.">Sports</a><br /><a href="http://www.">Portrait</a><br /><a href="http://www.">Life/Editorial</a><br /><a href="http://www.">Landscape</a><br /><a href="http://www.">Transportation</a><br /><a href="http://www.">My Life in Snooker</a></p></div>
I need to format it yet and style it etc, but in essence they are large links that go to other pages (a sub navigation) this needs to overlay the cover image and be aligned on the left hand side roughly 200 px down from the logo.
If it isn’t possible with nectar slider I assume it can be done with a background image ?? Although I really want the fullscreen nectar image as I want the down arrow etc.
Hope you can help Rich
Hey – yes you can place any html you need into the caption field. You’d then use css normally to do whatever you need to it
Hi!
Is there the .psd files for this theme? It would be very useful for the wireframe.
Thanks!
Hey malpasoed!
Unfortunately there’s no PSD’s included because there’s no images used in the design elements. If you needed a PSD for mocking up, a screenshot would be almost as useful.
Also in mobile mode how do I make my cover image fill the screen of an iphone?
With the fullscreen option on it already should be – or are you not talking about the nectar slider?
Yeah it was me – so sorry had some unwanted custom css in there somewhere – so that’s fixed now
Hiya,
I have added some css somewhere (custom) that is hiding my logo when the menu is open (this page: http://richpearson.co.uk/flklr/)
I think it’s something to do with one of these lines:
.page-id-1308 #header-space { display: none!important; }
.page-id-1308 #header-outer { background-color: transparent!important; position: absolute!important;}
#header-outer { box-shadow: 0 0 0px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 0px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); /* -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 3px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); */ }
@media only screen and (min-width : 1px) and (max-width : 1000px) {
body header#top #logo img { height: 44px!important;}
#header-outer {height: 76px!important; }
}
@media only screen and (max-width : 690px) {
body #header-outer[data-full-width="true"] header > .container, body #header-secondary-outer[data-full-width="true"] > .container {padding: 0 0 !important;}
body .swiper-slide, body .swiper-wrapper, body .swiper-container { height: 370px!important; }
body .nectar-slider-wrap, body .parallax_slider_outer { height: 368px!important; }
html body .nectar-slider-wrap[data-full-width="true"][data-fullscreen="false"] .swiper-slide .content h2 { font-size: 38px !important; line-height: 30px!important; }
html body .nectar-slider-wrap[data-full-width="true"][data-fullscreen="false"] .swiper-slide .content p { font-size: 1.2em !important; }
html body .nectar-slider-wrap[data-fullscreen="false"] .swiper-slide .button a { font-size: 4px !important; }
}
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
.page-id-1308 #header-space {display: none!important; }
.page-id-1308 #header-outer { background-color: transparent!important; position: absolute!important;}
}
Hey,
It’s from this:
.page-id-1308 #header-outer {
background-color: transparent!important;
position: absolute!important;
top: 50px!important;
}
Change that to be:
@media and only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
.page-id-1308 #header-outer {
background-color: transparent!important;
position: absolute!important;
top: 50px!important;
}
}
If I do this the menu in the mobile view isn’t transparent anymore (logo bar etc) what would I need to add to make that transparent and the mobile menu still open up underneath please?
If you want to keep your old snippet you’d just have to reposition the nav:
body #mobile-menu {
top: 90px!important;
}
Hello,
We have the latest version of the theme and also WordPress 4 installed.
Our widget section looks weird, please have a look:
http://snag.gy/nkZl8.jpgThere is now way anymore to see the widgets, how can we fix that?

Thanks,
Renato
Hey Renato, if you’ve already ensured it’s not a plugin conflict please open a ticket with your admin credentials so I can check out what’s causing it http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
yes, solved! it was plugin. thanks!
Good to hear
Cheers
Hi guys, since updating wordpress to 4.0, the drag and drop nectar short code function is broken. All my pages in edit mode are displaying the same as Text mode whilst in Visual mode… Real bummer!
Any knowledge on cause / solution?
Ive got latest version of Salient installed also and no fix.
Hey takeheed, I’ve tested on the current release on 2 setups and can’t replicate that – if you’ve already ensured it’s not a plugin conflict please open a ticket with your admin credentials so I can check out what’s causing it http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Thanks for the advice, turns out to be a plugin issue. Thanks again guys!
You’re very welcome
Hi – I’d like to have the mobile menu display at all times at all resolutions – even when I have the header set to transparent (ie still have the 3bar icon displayed in transparent header). What’s the code for this? Thanks.
Hey tonypantello!
Unfortunately there’s no quick css to accomplish that – but the upcoming update is going to bring an option for something similar
Cheers
does this theme support google fonts?
Hey vbasic, yes it does
Nice! (I assumed so but had to ask) 
No worries
are there any issues with wordpress 4.0 release?
Hey kaifanun, there are no known issues at this time
Can’t seem to find info on how to link to a specific tab….Can you point me in the right direction?
Hey bmacstudio! You can add ?tab=tab-name onto your URL like this:
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/features/elements/?tab=another-tabHI TN,
just a quick one – i have two pages which use portfolio elements one which is a general portfolio and one which is linked to a specific project.
In the salient settings i have my “main portfolio page” set which will work for the general portfolio, but i would like the project to have a different main page. i.e. it would go back to the page linked to that project.
Is there some code which i could implement which would allow me to do that?
thanks
s
Hey rebelle143,
You can use the “Parent Portfolio Override” option in your project configuration box to handle this
Cheers
where is that exactly? I’ve had a look around and honestly can’t find it! lol thanks
In the project configuration meta box on every project edit page: http://i.imgur.com/hk7zHnp.png
aaah! Got it thanks!
You’re welcome
Hi ThemeNectar! I am new to wordpress. I like your theme very much but I can’t make it display my custom post type properly. I made a custom post type and added ”’taxonomies’ => array(‘post_tag’)” to the $args. It displays in the main blog page, but not properly. The box that shows the featured image has its contents all squished into the right. How can I get the contents of the box centered like a regular post? Also, how can I make the box wider? Thanks! The website is thefashionabelles.com
Hey thefashionabelles!
Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel:
.post-content {
padding-left: 0!important;
}
However making the masonry boxes wider would require modding the responsive.css file and init.js file since it’s using a jquery plugin to calculate the spacing
Cheers
Bbpress plugin is compatible with the theme !
Hey spadpro!
Yes, but only basic integration has been done so far – more might still come down the road
Hey is there an easy way to match the visual editor to the theme so that when I am creating a post it shows my actual fonts/colors, etc.? I was trying to figure it out but it seems like you need a editor-style.css file or something…....not sure whatever i found was not very clear!
Hey skucenski!
It would be possible, but would indeed require a stylesheet for tinymce – might be a task that someone at Envato studio could help out with if your client needs it
Cheers
I thought the learning curve was over for me after I figured out many things. However, now I’m trying to setup MaxCDN. And I am getting all kind of errors. First the issue was with wp super cache. It caused all my icons to show only blank squares. I deleted that plugin. Things went back to normal. I then added w3 total cache.
Well, all my the structure of the site went crazy. I disabled all minify to no avail.
The only way I can get the site back to normal css structure is to uncheck “Host wp-includes/ files” and “Host theme files” Which means MaxCDN is barely caching anything with those uncheck.
Even with that now my image files won’t show when I check the url path, I see something like http://array/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/as-seen.png . I have no idea where the array is coming from.
There should be a video to show the simple and right way to set w3 total cache. Please help.
I tried to open a support ticket. Hopefully, I will be able to get some help because it looks like this comment section works faster for support.
Hello glemo,
I only recommend using W3 for the browser caching aspect – all minification should be done through bwp minify – it’s a lot easier to use and control. I will most likely be putting a tutorial together for that after the upcoming update though.
Also the average support forum turnaround time for a ticket is 24hrs – I don’t see any tickets waiting longer than that on an answer but please let me know if I’m mistaken and you’ve been waiting longer by providing me with the ticket ID
Cheers
Thanks for the reply. I opened a ticket on September 2nd and got a vague reply on September 4th. I’m sure it’s from someone on your team. You always take the time to give detailed instructions. Since then I added two more comments. Ticket: #274961
I understand your theme is very popular and you get lots of support requests. Admitedly, pretty much all the questions are already answered here. I am able to find a solution by searching the comments. It’s just that one issue with my site that I can’t find an answer for. Many thanks in advance for helping with this issue.
Please accept my sincere apology. The problem was with MaxCDN. They fixed it for me. It was something with my dns pointing to the wrong place.
No worries at all! Glad you got it sorted
Hi, how can i change the link color and hover link color for Mobile navigation?
i added this
body a { color: #000000 !important; }
body a:hover { color: #7f9db0 !important; }
to change the link colors of the body text and it has changed the mobile navigation link colors as well, and I want to change that separately. let me know thanks in advance.
Hey jeanius,
you can target that with:
body #mobile-menu ul li a {
color: #888!important;
}
body #mobile-menu ul li a:hover {
color: #ccc!important;
}
Cheers
Is there a recommended method for SEO on this theme? I tried SEO yoast and and the meta data and descriptions aren’t displaying properly via google. Thanks.
Hey jhermez,
Yoast SEO is fully supported with Salient – have you submitted your URL to get reindexed by google? The changes made in your plugin can take days to make it to the search engine. Also if you view the source of your sites code you should see all the meta tags in the head of the html
