Hey Mr. Nectar!
Just purchased your Salient theme, and have been setting it up feeling like an excited boy on Christmas!
All in all awesome, however the issue with the single page scroll menu is not fully working for me just yet.
Currently I’m stuck at making the home menu item (ex. #top) function properly.
Using “Page Scroll to ID”plugin, setup the “text” blocks to defining IDs etc., and so far have it working except for the Home #top scroll.
When I add a text block to the top of the visual editor with a defined class, it appears just below the Nectar slider.
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thanks Support!
Hey Cloudsurfingmedia!
For the top link try linking your button to ”#header-space” 
Cheers
Worked!!
Thanks eh! – In future perhaps you can add an “id” meta box to sections below the class meta box. This is the way it is done in Enfold.
Great support!
Justin
Yes, the next update will finally add one page scrolling support built in
Cheers!
Hey there! Is there a way to link the current Portfolio item’s categories in the sidebar of the post page?
I tried adding category WP code in single-portfolio.php and didn’t get very far, I’m assuming because Portfolio items are not treated like blog posts—is there a way around this?
I want to be able to list all categories from a particular Portfolio item on the sidebar, so users can navigate to other items of that type from the single portfolio item page.
Thanks so much!!
Thanks!
Hey!
You could always hardcode the links in your sidebar like this:
<a href="http://allanamato.com/wp/project-type/terrygilliam">Terry Gilliam</a>
Cheers
Totally! Thanks!
However.. Is there a way to include the list of related project categories automagically? 
Thanks!!
...asking if there’s a way to do it with code because I will likely have a few hundred entries to cross-reference! Thanks again!
Hey! Try using this in the single-portfolio.php file: http://pastebin.com/Nmsxn2XZ
PERFECT!!! I just got it working and looking like the Project Attributes, but linkable. Hurrah!
Last question—is there a way to trade out the slug in the display for the nicename version of the category? (i.e. have “guillermodeltoro” display as “Guillermo Del Toro”: http://allanamato.com/wp/portfolio/guillermo-del-toro/ )
Thanks so much again!!!
Try this instead http://pastebin.com/DPqMP01j
That works amazingly!!! It totally allows me to use the categories in the place of project attributes, and they are now links and function as tags. Thanks so much!!
I put the code here if anyone else wants it—the main thing that needs to be swapped out is the project_path variable—wasn’t sure how to get that with code: http://pastebin.com/cRtLaPwf
Thanks again!
You’re very welcome
Hi there,
I’m having a few issues with your template since the last update:
1) Nectar Slider in not resizing on mobile devices. 2) The marker icon on the map is not loading. 3) The “Editor” option under “Appearance” is gone.
Website: iboard.ca
Thanks for your attention.
Hey iBoardCanada,
1. I can’t seem to replicate this as of now (checked on a gs4) what are you seeing this on?
2. Update to 4.5.21 to get the fix
3. Please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look
Cheers
Hey ThemeNectar,
1. I’ve tried on different iPhones using the Safari browser. 2. It worked. 3. OK, thank you.
Cheers.
For item #1 is there anyway you can provide a quick screenshot?
Hello there,
My map marker isn’t showing. I know the current update fixes this, but I don’t want to update everything because I’ve already made some changes to the theme files. What file do I need to update to just get the map marker to work again?
Thanks
Hey digiegg,
update the map.js file located in the js folder
Cheers
I tried that and the map came up white blank for some reason. Anything else I need to do along with that update?
You must’ve been upgrading from a version prior to 4.5 in which case multiple files would need to be changed:
functions.php
nectar/nectar-vc-addons/vc_templates/nectar_gmap.php
template-contact.php
js/map.js
Hi! This theme is beautiful! I’m looking into buying it, but I still have a few questions:
1) For the portfolio section, can I move projects/posts around, not in order in which they were posted? Sometimes I like to switch which projects I show first, and I don’t want to have to delete projects in order to show an older project first.
2) I’m a videographer, so being able to add my Vimeo videos to the portfolio section is a must. What kind of options do I have for video?
3) For some reason when I look at the Live Preview on my phone, the site is not responsive….why is that? :/ Any chance I can see what the responsive site looks like?
Thank you!
Also, can I have more than 1 portfolio page/section? and if I do, can they each have different design options? Meaning the first portfolio section can have large pictures, and then second one have mini pictures. Thanks!!!!
Hey auramaria88,
1. Yes – use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/
2. You can embed vimeo videos anywhere you want on the single project page and also choose to have it pop open in a lightbox on the main project page.
3. View the site directly outside of the themeforest iframe: themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/
4. Yes – as the demo shows you can use different portfolio styles on various pages, just make sure the styles shown are what you’re looking for
Cheers
Thank you so much!
You’re very welcome
Hello Team Salient
I just have a quick questions – on my website here is the Link – http://www.jannatstudios.com/services/
On the specific page that I have posted. I would like to know how can I make size of the word ‘SERVICES’ AND PACKAGES” BIGGER. I know I have used a text separator to do this
Let me know thanks
Hey jannatstudios,
Add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
.vc_text_separator div {
font-size: 40px!important;
}
Cheers
Thanks
You’re welcome
Need a pointer here if you please.
i’ve created a beauty of a nectar slider but i want it to rotate thru the series of slides once and then stop at the last slide (where i’ve placed a button with a CTA).
Is there a way to modify the css or place a modifying style utilizing the ‘extra style field’ .
thanks for the help…
Hey bwarne,
open the nectar-slider.js file located in the js folder and delete this segment:
else {
$nectarSliders[sliderNum].swipeTo(0,800);
}
I understand that Salient is built on a 12 column grid system and to create 1/5 columns I need to use custom html code and css which you have already detailed in these comments. I used your instructions in the comments but have not been successful. I am attempting to create 5 columns for 5 team members. Within WP text editor I created divs for each team member and used the below CSS but the team members keep appearing on top of each other instead of side by side in a row. Using display: inline-flex works ok, but does not look good in Internet Explorer and doesn’t look good in mobile or as the page scales down. Any help would be much appreciated!
.col-one-fifth { width: 19%; padding: 10px; display: inline; }
Hey jusdog83,
Can you share the URL where you’re using this so I can take a quick peek?
Cheers
Sure and thank you! I created a ticket for this as well #270914. Here is the page with just the code I’m playing with: http://www.therogersagency.com/newsite/test/
Hey again! Try using this instead:
.col-one-fifth {
display: block;
float: left;
padding: 10px;
width: 20%;
}
That does solve the issue of it appearing well on IE. Thank you! Is it a lot of work to make it friendly for small screens? The team members scale down really tiny instead of stacking on top of each other on small screens, and then the text overlaps each other. Is that more than just a CSS fix? Thanks for your attention and help on this.
Hey again! You could use css like this to control that:
@media only screen and (min-width : 1px) and (max-width : 1000px) {
.col-one-fifth {
width: 48%!important;
}
}
You are awesome! Best author on Envato. Thanks so much for attending to my issue.
You’re very welcome
I’ve uploaded a new logo but it looks too small on mobile devices. This is also the case when i downsize the browser window on a laptop. What did I do wrong?
Thanks
Hey, please see this in regards to altering the logo size on mobile: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/46745/search/
Thanks!!
You’re welcome
The Maps are acting up again. http://bit.ly/1mIMHgs
I had 15 locations, and the map worked flawlessly. The last Google map issue was the icons not loading, now the map is completely absent… I am at a loss, please help.
Nevermind, I must have had a hiccup in my browser- it works great!!!
Hey – glad to hear you got it sorted
Hello!
trying to change the main text color across the board to white, but this CSS is not working:
html body, html body p { color: #FFFFFF; }
But it still remains mid-gray, despite having chose the dark version for the theme. Any advice?
Hey artblend,
anyway you can share your URL so I can take a look?
Cheers
Hi, when the responsive stylesheet kicks in is it possible to have the logo swapped out for a more suitable one? My logo in the regular viewport is more square which doesn’t show well when the responsiveness kicks in.
Hey Media29,
Unfortunately not by default without some modding to the header.php file but you could indeed control the mobile logo size with css: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/46745/search/
Cheers
ok, thanks anyway. could this be included in the next release?
I’ll note it for the wishlist
Hi,
I am currently updating my site in maintenance mode but am having a problem. Suddenly i am unable to upload images into the home slider. The upload button is totally unresponsive.
“javascript:void(0);” is shown at the bottom of the browser when hovering on button
Dashboard says the theme is up to date.
Bear in mind i know next to nothing on the CSS front.
Thanks,
Scott.
Hey Scott!

Hello, I had the lastest version with the fix of map. But it is not work yet Please check it: http://meyzamim.activated.co.il/%D7%A6%D7%95%D7%A8-%D7%A7%D7%A9%D7%A8/ Thanks, Anatal
I mean to http://clickon.activated.co.il/contact/ I can’t set the new version because I made changes in the theme. Which files to transfer and how to fix? Thanks.
Hey Anatal, just replace the map.js file located in the js folder of your current theme with the newly available version on TehemForest
I did it and the map disappeared…
You must’ve been upgrading from a version prior to 4.5 in which case multiple files would need to be changed
functions.php
nectar/nectar-vc-addons/vc_templates/nectar_gmap.php
template-contact.php
js/map.js
Great! Thanks!
You’re welcome
Is there a way to place a button in the top menu using shortcode? Or is the only way to do that through editing the header code?
Hey vikerious,
As of now that would require editing the header.php file
Cheers
Now that the logo issue is fixed, the Portfolio Thumbnails are not showing at all anymore. Looking at Inspect Element, I can still see the thumbnails in the source code, but for whatever reason, the image does not show up. Here is a link: You can hover over the white space.
http://bit.ly/1ANpxxZHey samueloh, did this occur right after the update or all of a sudden today? Try adding this into the custom css box:
.portfolio-items .col img {
opacity: 1!important;
}
Hi guys, awesome theme and enjoying putting together a parallax theme with the nice visual composer, which as is making life easier than coding everything in maunually!
I’m having real trouble getting images to display to the sizes I’m setting when putting a page togehter. I add a row, add a text block and use that to insert an image through the WP editor and media uploader – however on the page nothing I do seems to change the image size, it’s picking up a defualt size from somewhere and it’s driving me nuts, all I want is control over the sizes of images displayed on page! Can you tell me what’s happening here and how to turn off the automatic image reszing within this theme?
Ben
Hey Ben!
If you want to control the image size but also keep it responsive you could simply use visual composer columns to assist. If you’d rather have a hardcoded px value for images open your style.css file and delete this rule
.row .col img {
height: auto;
margin-bottom: 15px;
max-width: 100%;
width: auto;
}
Cheers
I’m just in the middle of creating a site. Having a little problem with the map markers (which are not appearing). I’m using 5.4.1 I think as i have not installed the update. I was just wondering if I update now will my current content be lost? How is the update done? Is this likely to fix my map markers issue?
Hey FoxH,
The latest release is 4.5.21 and that update does indeed fix the map marker issue – You can update by downloading a fresh copy from ThemeForest, deleting the current version you have on your server and uploading the new. I recommend using FTP, but you can use the WP dashboard if you prefer. You won’t lose any of your content or theme settings so don’t worry about that if you were
Cheers
Thank you ThemeNectar,
The update fixed the map marker issue, but since the update videos on a roll-background are now not playing on individual pages. However the video content on the Nectar-slider does work. We have tried removing the content and putting it back into the theme but this was unsuccessful. Do you have any recommendations for fixing this?
Thank you.
Weird, the row function hasn’t changed in a long time – could you please share a relevant URL where I could take a look at this issue?
We deleted and uploaded again the videos and they seem to be working. They are in formats: mp4 and webm, and we are using a roll-background. However now on internet explorer the videos are appearing as black boxes. The videos in question are on the home page and are under the buttons “Services” and “Contact us” Here is the URL: http://s535395636.websitehome.co.uk/ Please let me know your advise.
Hey – have you added the mime types into the htaccess file as listed in the user guide?
I tried this, by adding mime types after the #BEGIN wordpress line of the code in the htaccess file. But this brought up an internal server error. Could you advise where to place the mime types in the code?
Here’s a screenshot http://i.imgur.com/qoSIF2u.jpg
Thank you for this. Adding the code displayed in the screen shot resolved the internal server error. However the videos are still not playing on internet explorer.
Hey!
I’m still seeing “AUDIO/VIDEO: Unknown MIME type.” in the console when using IE – I would contact your hosting company company with that in regards and ask them to ensure your server can parse video mimes and that you’ve already added support via htaccess
I’m using page to scroll ID plugin for my one pager Salient.
I have a problem with smooth animated scrolling from the shortcode buttons. Can’t get it to work. It just jumps to the section, not scrolling.
Thanks
Hey divitsystems, anyway you can share your URL to the relevant so I can take a look?
Hi. I have tried all possible Facebook Like Buttons. But what happens is, when using then in the side/ side widget, is that it cuts off the “popup box”. Meaning, when you share or like something, you can write a comment.
But what I get, when pressing that like button is a 100 px box, cut off.
Any suggestions? I mean, a like button is like quite essential on many sites.
Hey Peter,
Can you please share the page URL so I can see what’s causing this?
Cheers
