Hi, I started to use full wide for header, which is good option! Do you think will be possible to include this option in next update for footer too?
Thank you, Petr
#footer-outer .container {
max-width: 100% !important;
}

Hey Petr! For now you could handle this with css
#footer-outer .container {
max-width: 100% !important;
}

Hi. Is there a reason why my toggles go transparent when using the paralex mouse-hover background? A bug?
Never mind. I found out to change this manually, but yetI believe its a bug…
The toggles and some other elements have a transparent BG when using a full width section when a BG image/color is added
Hej, I’ve got two suggestions/questions:
1. would you consider enableing rgba background-color for a semi-transparent header?
2. I’m not sure if I configured everyting correctly but it takes quite some time to load a page if there is a video background in the header slider. Of course a few MB video file takes some time depending on the conection. BUT – is it possible to first load the fallback image until all videos are preloaded or move the slider code to the bottom of the HTML and move it back up by CSS so that the page is usuable right away? I’m using total cache and I managed to get a solid yslow result of B (Google Page Speed of 90) but the video header seems to be the bottle neck.
Thanks for your help
Hey MADOFFENBACH,
1. Yes – but for now it could be handled with css:
#header-outer {
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.8)!important;
}
2. Could you kindly share your URL so I can take a further look?
Cheers
1. Thanks for your quick response! This is exactly how I solved it too. I’m not a big fan of !important though. And since it was not vital I stuck with a transparent header for now.

Cherio!
.
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
html body .carousel-wrap[data-full-width="true"] .portfolio-items .col .work-item.style-2 i, htlml .portfolio-items .col .work-item.style-2 i {
background-image: url("http://www.albino.co.za/portfolio.gif") !important;
background-size: cover;
content: " " !important;
}
was that answer ment for me? On my starting page I dont have a .carousel-wrap or .work-item-style-2. so this would have no effect?!
Sorry ! it was for the person above you – what I meant to write back was that when I checked your page I was able to see it loading in within 2-3 seconds from no cache on Firefox/Chrome – is it possible your server is simply closer to my location? (east coast US)
Hi
When a post an article and add an image to it, change the size of the image to let’s say 200×300 px, it still extends it to a maximum size on the blog article page. It looks like, it keeps the size I set up for the image, but extends the image on the article page. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you Martyna
Hey Martyna,
Images always fill the width of the column they’re located in for responsive behavior – if you want to set a fixed width it could be accomplished with css or of course using a smaller column to hold the image
Cheers
Hey
Thank you! Martyna
You’re welcome
Hi,
I’m sure you got the question all the time but I can’t find the answer: Is it compatible with Wordpress 4.0? I have my website waiting to be updated but I don’t want to break the theme.
Thank you in advance.
Hey Lymf, yes there are no known issues
I would really like to see more footer options, like SEO Theme has. Do you think that’s possible? For example, I want to style my footer with Visual Composer. Theoretical it could be possible, but will you implant such a feature in the near future? That’s the question.
Thanks for your help like always, have a great day! - Tapeix
Hey Tapeix,
I’ve added this idea to the wishlist

Hi How are you doing?
I have a problem with building one page on a website built using your great skin Salient.
We have tried building this page for over 5 months now, with weak results.
There is something in the code of the skin that makes it difficult. over 12 developers broke their teeth on it.
the page is here
http://www.mmevelo.com/lookbookthe lower part of the images is hard to make responsive, and cannot be moved to their proper locations.
Please suggest a developer that will be able to help us.
Thank you, Martyna
Hey Martyna,
what is the issue that your developers are struggling with because of Salient? From my understanding your creating a custom grid from scratch so the theme you’re using shouldn’t play much of a variable – have they mentioned there was something they were fighting specifically?
Thank you
I should know it really soon, what the problem is.
I have two questions: 1. When a comment is posted below a blog post, a strange icon shows up, and the comment is berely visible. What is this? http://www.mmevelo.com/fashion/w-spodnicy-na-rowerze/2. W3 Total cache, when I add it to the site, it breaks it. I see on the comment above, that another person managed to set it up correctly, is there a specific set of choices that need to be choosen to make the plugin work correctly?
Thanks, Martyna
Hey,
1. it’s occurring because of custom css you have in – to counter it, add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.container-wrap .row .col .comments-section img {
margin-bottom: 0 !important;
width: auto !important;
}
2. Just don’t use the minification option in the plugin – if you need to do that check out bwp minify
Hi, I activated the transparent header option. I got full width Nectar Slide, a light colors background image but Salient activate the — Light Transparent Header — So we can’t read nothing on it… It works fine when I put a “dark” background image, the light header works fine. But when I want the dark header, it doesn’t work… (I uploaded the rights logos light and dark on the template…)
[Sorry for my english I’m french !]
Thank you very much for your work !
Hey jeremyhervo!
Make sure you’re selecting the slide font color to be “dark” in order for those slides to also pull the dark logo/change the nav color
Cheers
Hiya,
If I wanted to add my own custom typeface what is the best way to do it please?
I plan on purchasing a new web font from http://www.typography.com/ and I assume you get all the web variations for css inclusion ??
Rich
Hey – you’d need to load the fonts in using @font-face http://sixrevisions.com/css/font-face-guide/
Hi,
is it possible to translate for example slider headlines with the “WPML” plugin?
Thanks
Hey nikolausbrocke, yes – just make sure you check the box for making that post type translatable as seen on the screenshot here near the bottom http://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-custom-types/#attachment_7579
Hi Bud,
Are you going to add a feature to the header that stops it following you down the page?
I want my header to be either transparent/or solid depending on the page concerned, but I don’t want it following me down the page on scroll
Rich
Right now you can accomplish this with the following css snippet:
#header-outer {
position: absolute!important;
}
Hi Bud,
If you get a chance please could you have a further look at my next/previous code in the ticket I submitted I need the PHP version rather than the example provided – cheeerss
Rich
Will do
Hello. I am using your theme, and disable the “Visual Composer”, because I am using the “Visual composer” plugin.
How I can add the Nectar slider, to my “Visual Composer” plugin, without using your “Visual Composer”?
The reason I using the plugin, is I like the “Backend” and “Frontend” editors of the plugin.
Hey AminaDev,
That would take some custom development – but you could still place the Nectar Slider element through the shortcode generator to get it where you need it
Cheers
I put some address and contact info in the “Slide Out Widget Area”. However, as a viewer of the site I’m unable to select the text to copy. My mouse cursor shows it being text but it won’t select. Thank you for your help
Hey trassuchine, could you kindly let me know what browser you’re experiencing this on and if it’s also happening to you with the demo? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/
I’m using firefox, safari, chrome on mac. all on the newest browsers. I discover that you can double click in that area and I’m able to select the text. This is true for me on my site and your demo site.
It appears to work even with a single click on PC, but i’ve noted to test on a Mac tomorrow to see if I can replicate that
Hi ThemeNectar, my question is regarding W3 Total Cache.
After playing around with it for a while I think I have the right JS and CSS files selected so my site does not break and speeds up my score a bit: http://i.imgur.com/FxmXQON.jpg (Btw, are my setting optimal because I’m just guessing along here. Anything I should just quickly change? Do you have a quick guide?)
My problem is the CSS files I did not minify show up on google page speed insights as above the fold content: http://i.imgur.com/iUNTKwn.jpg I tried to combine them through cpanel but could not do it.
Do you know of any way to make these not above the fold and do it with a child theme so the changes stay. Those are my main obstacle to going into 90+ score. I looked everywhere but could not implement anything successfully.
Thank you for any help.
Hey 1456932587,
instead of using the minification in W3 – I would suggest bwp minify since that will correctly and automatically handle css/js minification
Yeah, I used that but it doesn’t help anymore I think and it breaks my site. Can you point me to where I might find instructions on how to combine external CSS via cpanel and on a child theme. Is it possible on a child theme? It’s just the CSS files in the pic I need to take care of. Is it even possible to do what I’m asking? Will it break my site every time I try? Thanks
It shouldn’t matter if they’re in a child theme – but if you want to open a ticket in regards I’d be glad to troubleshoot with bwp is breaking the site http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
I opened a ticket. It’s http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/296665
Thanks, i’ll be with you on there as soon as I can
Hello Nectar,
When I try to update Salient it gives me the following error:
Destination folder already exists…
Now I know others have asked the same question many times before and your response to them is that they should delete the theme and reinstall it, however when I go into wp dashboard it doesn’t give me an option to delete …would the update work and I won’t lose my settings if I change to another theme temporarily and then upload the newest version of Salient in WP right away?
Thank you
Ryaz
Hey Ryaz,
Yes, if you’re handling it all in the wp dashboard you’ll need to activate another theme before you can delete Salient – all of your settings will remain when you reactivate it
Cheers
hey guys, got a wee problem; www.intuitivecontrol.co.nz i used this css to fix the header, ie static header #header-outer, #header-space { position: absolute !important; } but its gone and done something funny to the header section, just take a look at the site to see please. can you fix that css up or something for me please?
thanks!
its not the slider pro conflicting, as i moved it down the page and it still happens at the top. cheers!!
ok ok i just realized this is only happening when im logged into wordpress admin.
so thats not a biggy really, BUT
now ive got this issue with my proslider being up in the header, ie its like the header is not recognizing that the slider is there. i can add like 400px gap above the slider which fixes it, but it looks stupid on mobile with a huge gap between the header and the slider… is there any css you can help me fix this?
i think the issue is the theme is seeing that row as only having a little bit of text in it, which it does, just the shortcode to pull up the slider, the header is not allowing the 400px height of the slider once its implemented in that row.
any ideas?
ive tried putting an empty row above it, space below and above, nothing works,,, im pulling my hair out here;.
ALSO on the ‘about us’ page, if you take a look, the header is chopping into the salient slider pic ive put there as well!! why is this happening? please help
its cutting into the header on MOBILE that is, please check the about us page, looks fine on desktop though
actually it looks shit on desktop too
this is what i have in my css;
@media only screen and (min-width : 1px) and (max-width : 1000px) { body header#top #logo img { height: 88px!important; }
header-outer {
height: 140px!important; }
}
header-outer, #header-space {
position: absolute !important; }
@@ omg
ok so i cant post css in here for some reason 
the above looks nothing like my css
so i remove that css to keep the header fixed when you scroll, and that fixes the header cutting into necter slider pics, but its still cutting into my proslider on the frontpage… so that css needs to be modded a bit to fix the header cutting into stuff, can you do that please? tbh the nectar slider is ok for top page banners but terribly annoying to get the sizes right for a frontpage slider.
Hey justdogs88, currently I’m not seeing the header cut into your slider at the top on desktop or mobile – checked in Firefox/Chrome so far. Are you still experiencing this?
ok forget everything i said above; when i put the css in for 1. keeping the logo big on mobile and 2. locking the header when you scroll down. it makes the content go up into the header, so the header is cutting off the top content. here are the two css that are conflicting; @media only screen and (min-width : 1px) and (max-width : 1000px) { body header#top #logo img { height: 88px!important; } #header-outer { height: 140px!important;
AND
header-outer, #header-space {
position: absolute !important; }
I can see the header outer bit is probably conflicting? im crap at css though.
So can you hopefully rewrite maybe the bottom one so it doesnt conflict and give me that problem. the client wants the header to stay fixed when the user scrolls down.
hope this helps someone else, surely others have had this problem.
thanks for you time.
Cheers
Dave
Try this:
@media only screen and (min-width : 1px) and (max-width : 1000px) {
body header#top #logo img { height: 88px!important; } #header-outer { height: 140px!important; }
}
@media only screen and (min-width : 1000px) {
#header-outer { position: absolute !important; }
}
cool so that locked the header without any issues, but now the logo has gone back2 too small on mobile.. what does it need to do that? thanks!
nvm, thanks that worked fine, i forgot to include both. so for anyone else looking for a fixed header, AND a logo that is not tiny on mobile here is the code; BOTH need to go into the css box in the theme options;
1. @media only screen and (min-width : 1px) and (max-width : 1000px) { body header#top #logo img { height: 88px!important; } #header-outer { height: 140px!important;
2. @media only screen and (min-width : 1px) and (max-width : 1000px) { body header#top #logo img { height: 88px!important; } #header-outer { height: 140px!important; } } @media only screen and (min-width : 1000px) { #header-outer { position: absolute !important; }
Hey – glad you got it! Thanks for sharing the code
sorryyy its not working for over 1000px screen, the header is not locking over 1000px screen. i fuddled with that code above for half an hour and cant get it to lock over 1000px without causing the ‘cutting into below header content’ problem.. any ideas?
#header-outer {
position: absolute!important;
}
yeh i did that the first time. the ‘header outer’ code above it is obviously remaining in control.
Hey – I can’t see the last snippet I wrote making its way onto the front of your site, could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on themenectar.ticksy.com/
Hi, me again 
i’m having a small problem with the client carousel logos being chopped off on the iPad and iPhone.
If you go here http://xander-staging.com/Avocado/ on an iPad or iPhone and scroll down to the bottom where the grey client logos are displayed. If you are in landscape view and then change to portrait, the bottom of the logos get chopped off. (iPhone seems to fix itself after resizing but iPad remains chopped off) I’ve tried adding padding, a divider line etc but they still get chopped off.
Any help would be great, thanks
Hey emlynscott!
When I do that test on an iPad mini I see the logos get clipped but it then sorts out the height after 2 seconds and works. What iPad model/browser are you using?
Cheers
hi, i upgraded to the latest version of salient theme and this seems to haved fixed this issue. Problem solved. Thanks for all your help.
Great to hear
