Hi Nectar,
Is there a way to make my logo bigger? currently I have it on my site at www.maidsinblue.com but you can barely see as it’s so tiny, this the image: http://imgur.com/SvYjx23 I would like it to appear so it’s at least readable.
Thank you,
Ryaz
Hey, you can define the logo height in your header options tab of the Salient options panel – enter a value of something like “100” to start
I did but it makes all the contents in the header out of place as well as covers half the page with the header, I took a screenshot of what it looks like when I have the logo height set at 300, it shows like this: http://imgur.com/wCzE4BU
Could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on

Hi ThemeNectar,
I would like to use the new cool One page scrolling feature! I would like to mix one continous-scrolling web page with some static pages like here: http://lifeinmyshoes.org (News menu item vs. all the other continous-scrolling items). To do that I have to use the full urls, not just the anchor parts as suggested in your YouTube tutorial video. My menu urls then look like: http://www.example.com/#anchor1
But when I do this, the .current-menu-item coloring doesn’t work – every continous page item is colored instead of just the current one.
Do you think you can look into that?
Thank you!
Hey minscaboo,
I’m currently seeing the nav items light up correctly in Firefox/Chrome – are you still experiencing this issue?
Cheers
Yes, tested in FF + Chrome + IE. Have a look at: http://goo.gl/EcMyj1
Hey – here’s an early fix. Open the init.js file located in the js folder and change this function: http://pastebin.com/vAQaPx0N
to this: http://pastebin.com/xyDv2UP3Cheers
Thank you!
Just to be complete if someone else has the same problem – I also had to remove the header#top nav .sf-menu li.current-menu-item > a style to get rid of the unwanted coloring.
Will this fix be also implemented in the next version of Salient or should I make the changes only in my child template?
It’ll be in the next release
Thanks for the next release!
As I’ve written in the last post, there are 2 classes that needs to be removed:
.current_page_item .current-menu-itemThe fix removes only
.current_page_item.You also need to remove the
.current-menu-item.Also I’ve found that it doesn’t work when one of the #hash links is selected: the main page link should be dimmed and current #hash should be highlighted. But now the main page link stays also active when #hash page is clicked.
Feel free to use the link in my comment above to check it.
Hey – Did you already update to 4.9?
Yes, I updated a few hours back.
Thanks for noting – i’m altering the section to take that into consideration now
Hello,
I’ve just downloaded and installed the 5.0 version, but the issue is still not resolved.
I have a link to /page.php in menu and also a link to /page.php#anchor1. When I open the link with anchor (/page.php#anchor1), it gets highlighted. That is correct, but it also highlights /page.php, so both the links are highlighted when only one should be. You can check it in the link in my original comment.
Thank you for the fix!
Hey,
How do I remove the ability to comment? I have turned everything off from within the CMS but it’s still saying…
Loggin to make a comment.
I just want to remove the ability to comment all together.
Thanks a million
Hey petruccelli,
You could delete the<?php comments_template(); ?>lines from the single.php file
Cheers
Hi there, hope you’re doing well!
I have a question, in the second navigation bar, a white line is visible (especially in tablet mode). Do you have a .css code available that could make the white line invisible (or at least the same color)?
Thanks!
p.s. please have a look at: http://goo.gl/2EG13F
Hey Tapeix! Could you kindly share your URL so I can check on that for you?
Of course, go ahead: http://goo.gl/21AG0Z. Thanks!
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
#header-secondary-outer nav ul.sf-menu,
body #header-secondary-outer nav > ul > li:last-child {
border-top: none!important;
border-right: none!important;
}
Thank you so much, looks gorgeous! Perfect service, like always!
You’re very welcome
I have been using this theme for a year now, and I am extremely pleased with all its features and how it evolved with time! A big thank you from Switzerland, you guys allow me a great deal of flexibility in my online presence. Just exactly what I needed! Looking forward for further updates!

That’s great to hear Pascal!

Hi,
Just noticed a small bug. On the home page full width Nectar Slider when you add some plain text in the caption box and tick the box to add a faded background this is fine. When you try to add HTML text so you can <br /> to a new line the nice background box disappears. I just upgraded to the latest theme update to see if this fixed it but no luck.

Hey James,
Could you kindly share your page URL so I can check on that for you?
Cheers
Hey again – I’ve noted the idea for the wishlist but as of now it’d take a decent deal of development. I am seeing your line breaks going through though – you’re not seeing the transparent BG remain on your end?
I have reverted it back to not having any html formatting within the box other than a <br />. One thing I noticed is that in firefox there is a space under the break before the 1st word on 2nd line – chrome, safari etc are fine. I tried to use a copy of rev slider but it didn’t do a full page properly, the left side didn’t fill to the edge properly.
If you wanted to use rev slider full width you’d need to call the slider in a template file outside of the container – the full width content row type uses javascript to get the window width which interferes with Rev sliders own function to become full width
Hi ThemeNectar,
How would I disable fade in and any other effects for all pages and for all features like icons and images? Can it be done through the visual composer (I couldn’t find a no-effect option) or do I have to use code? I want to do this because I read those effects take up space and slow down a site. Is that true?
You can disable the animation from columns in VC which is most likely what is causing the icons/text to animate in – as for remove the effect on the VC animated image element – add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
img.img-with-animation {
opacity: 1!important;
}
Will this help increase speed and take up less space. Also, I am not sure if it worked the icons and paragraphs still sort of fade in. If getting rid of those effects isn’t useful, then I will not need the code. Is it useful? Thanks
Could you kindly share your URL so I can check out the page?
Is there a way to adjust the portfolio details page to have just a percentage width on the sidebar so I don’t have so much white space between the image and the description area if I’m using a vertical image of about 450 pixels? Thanks.
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (min-width:1000px) {
.single-portfolio #post-area {
width:48%!important;
}
.single-portfolio #sidebar {
width: 50%!important;
}
}
Thank you!
You’re welcome
How to change Slideout widget icon?
Thanks!
Hey luvdesign! You’d need to modify that in the header.php file – search for “slide-out-widget-area-toggle”
Thanks!
Wondering, where is the Line images is located? I want to custom the icon to something else then the lines.
It’s not actually an icon but rather all css based – you can find the rules for it in the style.css file. Search for ”.lines:before, .lines:after” to end up at the right section
awesome, is it possible to add page/visitor view for portfolio/pages on the next update?
Am digging the theme and will use it many years. =)
That’s great to hear – I’ll note the idea for the wishlist
Hello

But since a couple of monts iam not aloud to use the visual composer any more. Is it possible that is it an bug or anny problems like that? Can that problem be fixed with an update?
Sorry for my bad English
Hey ledabfidah.
do make sure you’re on the latest release and no plugins are causing the conflict (try disabling any you may have active for a minute)
Do you have a way of doing a full screen page-by-page vertical scroll? Basically, when a user wheels down, it would reveal the next full-screen canvas? Any way we could easily implement that?
Basically, something like this: http://www.thepetedesign.com/demos/onepage_scroll_demo.html
Unfortunately there’s nothing built in to assist with that, there is one page scroll support based on anchor links though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj-NQ3YItlc
Maybe you’ve heard this one before—maybe you haven’t.
I’d like to change the video background of my homepage nectar slider based on the time of day.
I’m comfortable working with source—I’m just looking for some direction as to whether you think this should happen in a function (and which function to look at) or in jQuery.
Hey,
Check out the functions.php file and search for “nectar_slider_display” to end up at the function which is responsible for querying/displaying the slides
Quick question: I cannot get project excerpts to show up in my portfolio page—they’re supposed to show up right below the title, but are not on my site. Any reasons for this?
http://ar-development.com/project-type/master-planning-tag/I saw another comment where a someone had successfully done this with the theme, so I know it should work:

Hey Andrew,
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/
I opened a ticket, but never got any response back. Could you please help with this issue?
What’s the ticket ID?
Oh apologies—I did get a reply, I was just expecting it to come to my email and it never did…but it was on the actual site.
No worries – we can continue there if you had a follow up question
Greetings,
I always set a page header image. However, it is not clear how to use the “Page Header Image” as the featured image. Using both looks odd, so I would prefer that if I set the page header that would be used as the featured image. Thanks!
Hey,
You can set the featured image to be hidden on the single post page via the Salient options panel > blog options tab
Hi there, my social media icons in the footer have gone wonky ie not lined up. Has anyone else had this issue?
Hey,
That’s not a known issue – could you kindly share your URL so I could take a look?
Dear themenectar,
First of all let me thank you for your great theme! I’m putting it to good use. Have a question I hope you can help me with. I used the theme for the website www.neemhoreca.nl. But is doesn’t scale well on mobile. I have turned the responsive options on, but still the site doesn’t work well on mobile (especially the nectar slider).
Could you have a look at it!?
Hey michaelvanrijn!
Turn off the fullscreen setting on the slider, keep the flexible height on and enter 800 for the sliders height – that should keep it perfectly scaled
Cheers
Hi Nectar,
It has been about 3 weeks since I bought the template and my Visual Composer is not working when I have to add any kind of text.
I have not been able to start to build my site because of this
I need help, please!!
Hey eramos00, do you have a ticket open in regards with your login credentials? http://themenectar.ticksy.com
I did, and we have been back and forward without fixing my problem and now 5 days without any reply to my last message!
Sorry to hear, If you can share the ticket ID I’d be glad to oversee it
Hey i got the team and i love it!! but i can use the images in the dummy data on my site right ? and i want to ask you one more thing where did you get some of the awesome photos that are in the demo but not dummy data?
Hey! The sources for those are listed in the bottom of the main description page for the theme http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/4363266
Error message when trying to install theme: Installing Theme from uploaded file: themeforest-4363266-salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme.zip Unpacking the package… Installing the theme…
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed.
How do I fix this?
Hey,
make sure you’re uploading the salient.zip file and not the .zip from ThemeForest which includes all the contents i.e. dummy data, user guide etc.
Cheers
Hey, love the Theme.
With the new update, it seems that responsive drop down menu that pops up is invisible / the same color as its background, no matter if I set it to dark, light, or custom. Any idea what may be causing this?
Here’s the site: http://charlesmwoodard.com/
Hey! Currently I’m seeing the mobile nav in the standard dark grey color with light grey text – could you kindly provide a screenshot of what you’re seeing?
Hi! I may not have worded what was wrong correctly. The text that drops down is fine, the mobile nav button is what is currently invisible:

Hey again!
One of your plugins is conflicting with it – try disabling them one by one to find the culprit
Cheers
