I have a short pre-sale question
Is it possible to link from one single thumbnail/image to a whole gallery in a lightbox?
doesn’t matter if it is portfolio post type or wp gallery shorcode. I just need the functionality of having the gallery in a lightbox…
thanks for taking your time answering!
z.
ah and caption or description showing in the lightbox would be great
?
Hey Zapata!
1. You can have a lightbox gallery within an actual single project/post page, but you can’t link to a gallery right on the main portfolio page.
2. Unfortunately there’s no captions like that yet, but it’s on the to-do list 
Cheers
Hello,
Is there any way to display Blog categories in “Masonry Blog Fullwidth” type, similar to portfolio here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/portfolio-4-columns/Cheers!
Hey YoZeeto!
As of now there’s no option for that – but the idea is indeed on the wishlist 
Cheers
Hey Mr. Nectar, which Google font do you use in the Ascend Demo?
I just put this through: http://tools.pingdom.com Scary !!! Seems people are creating heavier and heavier themes, not sure it’s such a good idea.. did we get rid of Flash to once again fall in the trappings of heavy gadgets ?
Hello ianstudio,
that site is letting you know how long it takes for all the assets to load (including videos). The demo home page uses multiple video backgrounds which will take a bit of time to completely load, but don’t actually effect how long it takes the site to load on the front end (the videos start playing as soon as they can and continue loading/playing as they are playing as with any other video file on the web) – the theme load time itself is not what’s reflected in that test 
Cheers
If you want to test the raw theme better, try a page without video backgrounds such as this: http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/coGgKh/http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/features/columns/
Hey, TN I seem to be having an issue with text bleeding from one section into the next. Is there any way that you can help me resolve this? Thanks in advance. Here is the URL for the page: http://jeremydarko.com/services/
Hey jeremydarko!
Could you please open a ticket in regards so I can check on the backend setup more for you? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Cheers
Ok. Thanks a lot.
Thanks! 
everythingdriven.com looks horrible and the performance is really slow on IE9 every other browser seems to be functioning correctly. How can i fix this?
Hey yeaitsedgar,
IE9 should look exactly almost identical as IE10/11 (8 and below is unsupported though) – could you please open a ticket in regards? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/

I’ve been able to enable lightboxes on images and other content by adding “pp” to the element’s class.
Is it possible to have entire page content to display in a lightbox? For example, I’d like to click on a link and have a post’s content display.
Hey esivak,
This wouldn’t be possible without some custom development as of now unfortunately
Cheers
Thanks for the quick response!
I actually figured this out yesterday. Since you guys are using PrettyPhoto it’s possible to open non-media content in a lightbox by editing your links in the following way. It’s not perfect but pretty close.
a href=”http://www.google.com?iframe=true&width=100%&height=100%” rel=”prettyPhoto[iframes]” title=”Google.com opened at 100%”>Google.com</a
Hey again!
My apologies, I thought you were looking to just get the main content of a post, not the entire page through an iframe. Glad you figured that out though 
I put in a support ticket but since it is the weekend I wanted to see if anyone else had a problem posting a self-hosted video link on a Visual Composer page….In VC, I just add the link in an HTML block and it previews fine….but, once published it does not show up. I had the same link to a page not using VC and it displays just fine.
Hey vegasphotog,
Could you let me know the ticket ID should I can check that out?
Cheers
Thanks – I’ll be with you as soon as I can 
hi guys,
is it possible to rename the default category of the portfolio when showing all items (currently its: “All”)? i tried to change the code in “template-portfolio.php” but it doesnt seem to work. i still get “All” as my default category.
thanks!
please see the screenshot @ https://www.dropbox.com/s/mlqujd0e26fqguf/Screenshot%202014-09-06%2017.03.39.jpg?dl=0
Hey thisismx,
Please make that change through the .po file included for translation or through the file nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php 
Cheers
awesome. thanks for your reply!
You’re welcome 
Hi Nectar. I believe you do know ISSUU, the online-PDF magazine webbased programme. I have embedded the files using your raw java-module. However, these PDF’s are not interpretted/ indexed by Google.
I have read something about PDF’s now being indexed differently by Google, and through a new iFrame feature it will be possible to index the content from an iFrame.
So my question is: If I place my PDF locally on my server, will it then be A: Possible for me to embded this inside my website? And B: Would you have knowledge on if and how to tell Google to read the content of the embedded document, inside the iFrame?
Do I make any sense at all?
Hey Peter,
Can you please share the URL where you’ve attempted to embed it so I can take a look?
CHeers
As you see the ISSUU version look ssooo nice but I dont believe it can be made indexable using the iFrame. In the selfhosted embed I can hilight the text and all, and it makes more sense believing that it would be possible to make Google index this page.
Does that make any sense now?
Hey Peter,
I’m not sure this is a problem that’s specific to Salient – are you sure the indexing would be different on another theme
Cheers
Hi Nectar. Sorry, but I think you have completely understood my request. I am not talking about a problem with your fantastic theme.
What I asked for was that I have heard, that there is new technology out there, which makes it possible to have iFrames indexed. In the past (as of last year), iFrames could only be used as “empty placeholders”, where it should now be possible to somehow add iFrame content to the indexing. But this would require some additional code to the iFrame, as I remember hearing.
Therefor I asked for your guidance, if you would know anything about this, and if you had any ideas on incorporating this into your fantastic and wonderful theme.
Sorry my bad Peter!
Unfortunately I actually don’t have experience with this yet – but I assume the only way that could work if through place a script on the same page with iframe which have to be done in the text tab on your editor 
Hi, first off thank you for the awesome theme. question. I noticed that the old version of fontawesome is installed in the theme. How can i update it for use with all the new awesome icons they have available?
Hey gustavoespinal!
It’s going to be updated in the upcoming feature based release due out in 1-2 weeks 
Cheers
awesome. thank you!!!
You’re welcome 
Hi!
Which font do you use for “Nectar/Home Slider Captions” in your demo? —> http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/home/home-basic/
Thx 
Hey LaureneCastor!
Open sans in the lightest weight 
Cheers
I have a problem with out portfolio item, this site http://66.7.199.155/~beyondre/vara-tjanster/ looks really off when you’re on a macbook air. Then it looks like this, http://i.imgur.com/7ldDgYN.png . Have anyone else exerienced this problem and what is the solution? Thanks, Ludvig
Hey ludvigcosma, that’s how I see it too when I’m on a large enough monitor to see the 4 column display – the masonry display has a dynamic column number which will switch based on the screen width (it can go up to 5). If you want it to always display the same # of columns on desktops please check the option for “constrain max columns to 4”
Thank you for your answer, i’ve tried to constrain the number of max columns to 4 but the problem is still there. I want to constrain the number of columns to 3. Here is how it looks at my macbook pro, http://imgur.com/Vn4jhUf and how i want it to look at all desktop devices. How can i achieve this?
It would require a javascript & css mod to accomplish that – if you can open a private ticket in regards with your admin credentials I’d be glad to assist

Great theme, getting on well with it. I have a home slider, and is great on desktop, but on my ipad it squishes the height. I want it the full height or to be able to customise, on mobile devices, specifically the ipad. Is there some css i can change? help please. Thanks, Stella
Hey stellaathome,
If you’re concerned about mobile responsiveness please use the Nectar Slider instead with the flexible height option active. This will ensure your image doesn’t clip on any screen resolution 
Cheers
Hi,
I am using a three column footer and the issue I am having is when the screen width goes below 1000px the footer switches to 2 columns. Is it possible to maintain the three columns down to 768px (for ipad) and then once it drops below the 768px it changes to single column?
Hope that makes sense and thanks.
or 690px or whatever it is supposed to be..
Hey Andy,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 690px)
#footer-widgets .container .col {
width: 32%!important;
}
}
Cheers
1. Is it possible to display “Both Left & Right Sidebar” on some pages AND “Only Left or Only Right Sidebar” on other pages?
1a. If it is not possible then is there some plugin (paid/free) that can be added so that I can get two sidebar (left & right) on some pages? I need this desperately.
2. Also, does your theme has color control. Something similar like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5LFkezN9ss
Hey apeee,
1a. Right now there’s no template to display both sidebars at the same times but you can still use them separately on various pages.
2. Yes, there’s color controls for the header/footer in addition to the multiple accent color options 
Cheers
Hey guys,
Need some custom css…
1.- Drop down menu with border radius at the bottom.
2.- Menu items to look like buttons with hover color effect.
3.- Border radius for Pricing tables.
4.- I added a button to the header.php but it doesn’t show on mobile :/ it’s a link to pay with PayPal so…I kinda need it to show.
Thanks!
Hey Creativo_MX!
1.
.sf-menu ul {
border-radius: 0 0 8px 8px !important;
}
2. That wouldn’t be possible with css alone due to the header resize effect (the padding of the line goes to the bottom of the header bar)
3.
.pricing-column .pricing-column-content {
border-radius: 4px !important;
}
4. Can you share a URL so I can check it out for you?
Cheers
Is it possible to integrate advertising spaces into the theme for the Google DFP ad management system…? I’m assuming in post sidebar and footer the code can be used in a widget, but wondering about other locations…i.e. space above or below portfolio group.
Also, is pagination built-in on the portfolio pages…? And can the portfolio pages – default with the ‘view larger’ – show all videos…?
Hey Gr8Meta4!
1. If you were to integrate ads in places outside of the widget areas it would just need to be done through pasting the embed code into the page editor itself 
2. Yes you can use pagination on portfolio pages as well – if you want to change the wording for “view larger” you’d need to edit the .po file
Cheers
Hey Mr. Nectar.
Notice a small bug since updating to Wordpress 4.0.
When editing the icon type in the “Text with Icon” builder element, the save botton doesn’t clear the editing window pop-up, instead I have to hit cancel and confirm changes will not be saved.
After hitting cancel. then updating the page. the changes have in fact been saved when viewing the page.
Seems like the “save” button is buggy.
Hey Cloudsurfingmedia! I can’t seem to replicate that in my own testing – have you confirmed that no plugins are causing it?
Hello
I’m trying to integrate CodeStyling Localization mentioned in the comments many times and either I don’t know how to do it or maybe I got it wrong – can I use it to edit pages created with theme? For example, can I translate testimonials? For the tests I posted “blah blah” testimonial and when I scan the website I can’t find “blah blah” text to translate.
Thank you!
Hey YoZeeto,
the Codestyling plugin helps you to translate the .po file – which is where all the theme’s built in strings are located such as the admin panel strings, the blog strings like “read more”, “one comment” etc. If you’re trying to translate words that you’re writing yourself into a multilingual setup, you’ll have to use a plugin like WPML 
Cheers
Oh I see – thank you!
You’re welcome
