Hi!
I host with WPEngine and they use some aggressive caching. Whenever I enable infinite scroll on my portfolio pages, some entries duplicate.
WPEngine can disable the caching for specific PHP arguments and needs to know the PHP argument for the infinite scroll on Salient. Can you provide me this? Let me know if this makes sense or if you need more info. Thanks!
Hey!
The function used in that is nectar_pagination which resides in the functions.php file
Cheers
Pre-Sale Question: Another theme I was looking at has 2 options that I am really fond of on the Mobile Version… I was hoping you could tell me if you have any plans to add these abilities, or if it is possible with the current theme.
1. They use a slide-out Mobile Menu. Instead of a drop-down/rollout menu. So when you are on mobile and you click the Menu button, it slides the entire page to the left, and displays a menu on the right in the slid-out area. I think this is super clean and a great mobile experience and I really, really want to see it on my site.
2. Again on their mobile menu, you can click on the Main Menu options to expand their Sub-Menus. For example, in your theme, in order for me to expand the “Home” sub-menu, I have to click the little down arrow to the right of the menu item on mobile. In this other theme, I am able to click on the actual word HOME and have it open the sub-menu below it. Is this possible to achieve with your theme? I think its difficult to have a mobile user click on the arrow and they are more prone to just click on the main menu item instead, so expanding the sub-menu in those instances would be ideal.
Thanks for your time in answering these for me 
Hey mmarchese,
1. There’s a slide out menu in Salient but it would also need to be used on the desktop version if you wanted it on mobile
2. This would require a javascript mod, it would be possible though

Hi Mate,
I’m sure this is doable but my skills do not quite cut it unfortunately. What we would like to happen is for on portfolio pages the navigation to be disabled, but to keep the logo in the top left and the horizontal line.
And in replacement of the navigation titles we would ideally like to have it so that the name of the project sits in the centre of the navigation bar.
This would be amazing if you could offer some assistance?!
Cheers!
Joe
Hey Joe!
Add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
#portfolio-nav ul.controls {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
Hey,
Unfortunately that didn’t work at all 
The navigation is all still there on portfolio pages
Cheers
Joe
Make sure you didn’t accidentally paste the
<pre></pre>tags in with the css snippet
Doh! Thanks
Cheers
How can I be notified when a new version is released?
Hey dannynamnum,
check the box for “Get notified by email if this item is updated” in your downloads tab of your account
Awesome thank you. Cant believe I didn’t see that.
No worries
Hi there! I’m trying to remove the call to action from the single blog posts pages, how can i do this?
Thanks!
Hey ale_g85,

.single-post #call-to-action {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
Thank you so much for your advice and for this wonderful theme!
You’re welcome

Hi, just wondering what font and font sizes used in Parallax Home page. If you could give me the font setting used on that page that would be great. My font seem to look different after the download. Thanks
Hi
Pre Extended purchase question:
I want to design a template similar to your template . This will not have any problems ? I want you to do this by buying Extended format. Did you notice ?
Hey toghether,
Unfortunately the extended license option doesn’t allow you to redistribute the theme on ThemeForest with mods – it’s meant for using it in a single website which you charge people money for
Cheers
Hi, is there any chance on getting a sidebar pages in future? i think that is the only thing missing in this theme.. or may be its already there and im missing it somehow? i want to create basic page with sidebar (right or left). Please let me know if that can be done and how. thanks.
nevermind.. ive got it 
it was in layout of blog with sidebar.
thanks.
but how can i change the background color of the whole page from grey to something else only for a particular page?
and how to have different widget on side bar for different pages?
Hey awaix,
1. Add this into the css box in the visual composer view for that page:
.container-wrap {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
2. https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/
Cheers
worked like a charm. thanks.
You’re welcome
Hello Again Salient Crew!
I revised my website to contain a Nectar Slider (full width) with a 35 pt Nectar Heading font size. It looks great on the iPad and on all computer monitors but on the iPhone, the text overlaps the slide images.
www.redrice.ca
Is there a way to maybe turn off the slide titles on the iPhone or at least constrain them for this device? Thanks!
Hey neilgalang,
@media only screen and (max-width:690px) {
.parallax_slider_outer.first-section .swiper-slide .content, .nectar-slider-wrap.first-section .swiper-slide .content {
display: none!important;
}
}
Cheers
So sorry, but is it possible to not display the slider heading but make the Buttons (call to action) visible? Thakns again
Change that snippet to:
@media only screen and (max-width:690px) {
.parallax_slider_outer.first-section .swiper-slide .content p, .parallax_slider_outer.first-section .swiper-slide .content h2, .nectar-slider-wrap.first-section .swiper-slide .content h2, .nectar-slider-wrap.first-section .swiper-slide .content p {
display: none!important;
}
}
Cheers
Awooooooo ! My site is now perfect!
You’re welcome!
help?
Hey suzanka,
The Salient VC was based on the version prior to that release, to fix that edit the js_composer.php file located in your wpbakery/js_composer:
if (!defined('WPB_VC_VERSION')) define('WPB_VC_VERSION', '3.7.3');
Cheers
Hi, How do I disable the Home Slider and use the Nectar Slider in stead? Thanks
Hey octy86,
Make sure you change the page template in the page attributes box to “default” to remove the home slider, then you can place the Nectar Slider via the shortcodes or the visual composer builder
Cheers
Totally lost. Have tried repeatedly to create a masonry gallery, but for some unknown reason, only images set to WIDE are displaying. Anything marked TALL is being hidden. Here’s the shortcode I built:
[nectar_portfolio masonry_style="true" lightbox_only="true" starting_category="default" project_style="2" pagination_type="default" category="mine" layout="fullwidth" projects_per_page="100"]
The only guess is this:
“If using the full width layout, will only be active with the alternative project style.”
Unfortunately, this doesn’t help as I can’t find any setting anywhere (and nothing in the limited documentation) that explains what an “alternative project style” is or where it’s settings are located.
Thanks in advance…
Hey mccartneymultimedia,
Do you have any default sized projects in your masonry display? The tall items height is determined based on that so if none are present they won’t get calculated correctly
Cheers
“default sized projects”? Don’t see that anywhere.
No, nothing marked Regular. Everything is Tall or Wide.
If you’re not using any regular projects it’ll probably be harder to get no blank spaces between all of your items at various sizes, but to fix this open your init.js file located in the js folder and delete these lines:
$portfolio_containers[i].find('.col.elastic-portfolio-item[class*="tall"] img').css('height',(tallColHeight*multipler));
$portfolio_containers[i].find('.col.elastic-portfolio-item.wide img').css('height',tallColHeight);
Worked!
Good to hear!
Thanks, everything is OK
Hey – good to hear
Im requesting a tutorial or perhaps a FAQ of how to work with image and font adjustment tweaking in mobile to desktop versions of a page: Im finding that when I design a site page, I working mostly in the desktop version, make the image just the ways I want it, the fonts just the right size, etc. But when it’s scaling to different sizes, iPad, iPhone, etc, sometimes an image needs to be resized a little, or font sizes need to be slightly adjusted. A previous question i had was how do you make an image or element disappear on a mobile version, etc.
Do you have a tutorial or FAQ like this already created?
Hey FromInfinity,
every situation would need different css depending on what you were looking to do – the general gist of it though would be to wrap your rules in media queries
//mobile
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
}
//desktop
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
}
Cheers
Okay cool, yeah I’m seeing the need for me to get more savvy with CSS. Maybe a CSS for Dummies 
!

Hi ThemeNectar,
How can I get my secondary nav to be transparent on the starting header, and then when scrolled down it changes to a solid purple (#3b275c)? This way it’s consistent with my main header. See my current site here: http://dolce-vita-az.bhdgchicago.com
Thank you in advance!
Hey!
You’ll need to add this into the init.js file of your js folder
$(window).scroll(transparentSecondary);
transparentSecondary();
function transparentSecondary(){
if($(window).scrollTop() == 0) {
$('#header-secondary-outer').css({
'background-color':'transparent',
'border-color' : 'rgba(255,255,255,0.2)'
});
$('#header-secondary-outer nav > ul > li > a').css({
'border-color' : 'rgba(255,255,255,0.2)',
'color' : '#fff'
});
}
else {
$('#header-secondary-outer').css({
'background-color':'#3b275c',
'border-color' : 'rgba(0,0,0,0.1)'
});
$('#header-secondary-outer nav > ul > li > a').css({
'border-color' : 'rgba(0,0,0,0.1)',
'color' : '#777'
});
}
}
Add it right after this line: jQuery(document).ready(function($){
Thank you!
You’re welcome
Hi ThemeNectar,
I’d like to activate my Salient-Child theme, but I’m not able to see it under Appearances/Themes. I’ve used FileZilla to drop the Salient-Child folder into my “wp-content/themes” folder. Still not able to see the theme to activate it. Are you able to tell if I’m doing something wrong or if you have any options? Thank you in advance!

Hey Tim!
Are you suer you’ve uploaded the child theme folder and not the .zip before extracting to that destination?
Cheers
Hi Bud,
All of a sudden my nectar love hearts have stopped working, once clicked they seem to just make the page go back to top – any ideas?
http://demo.cornwallitservices.nhs.uk/photo/adventures/sports/ (scroll to bottom to see them)Rich
I’m not seeing the nectar-love.js script getting added to your site – any mods to the child theme which may be causing this?
Yep it’s all there in the child, I suspect it’s this child functions.php again, it’s really making a mess of things not working correctly
Hello,
I’m currently creating a FAQ page with Toggle elements used for questions. How do I embed a search bar in this page which searches for hits on this dedicated page?
Hey Tulser, that would take the use of a plugin or some custom development – you could use the search widget but it would still be a global search that would take you to this page layout: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/?s=test
Hi, is there any way to change the logo used for the slide in section? I would like to change it to an email logo from font awesome or equivalent. Even if it requires editing some code if you could let me know.
thanks Ash
Hey Ash,
You’d need to edit this line in the header.php file:
<i class="lines" />
Cheers
