Hi there,
I’m having trouble with a video bkgd on my slider – mastersofcode.org
It works on some computers, and it doesn’t work on others. Can you please advise?
Thank you!
Hey! Please ensure that you’ve supplied a webm file in addition to the mp4 you’re using 
Is there a way to use a shortcode or otherwise to show recent blog posts with Gravatars by an author on a page?
For example, I’d love to show recent posts on an Employee page like this: http://trafficdev.net/traffic-salient/employee-angela-petteys/
I’d like to have a reusable block for every employees page where it shows their avatar and the title and the date of the blog post.
Thanks and happy holidays!
Just to clarify, I mean posts by that exact author. For example, posts by the author “Angela” on the Angela page. Thanks!
Hey,
Unfortunately right now you can only sort posts like that by going directly to the author archive page such as: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce/author/themenectar/
Cheers
Also, one more question regarding video backgrounds. Is it possible to link/embed a YouTube video to auto play in the background instead of a self-hosted video? ( I am worried that my shared hosting won’t be able to handle a self-hosted video. )
Hello, I have some pre-purchase questions.
1. Is there a way to enable share buttons at the bottom of normal posts instead of the top right corner?
2. Does sticky sidebar work in normal posts?
3. Is it possible to display related posts at the bottom of posts?
How do I code out the search functionality to show woocommerce product sku numbers as well?
Hey – you’d need to modify the search.php file in regards
What exactly do I need to add to to that file to include SKU numbers in search results?
Here’s some sample code:
$productmeta = new WC_Product($post->id); $sku = $productmeta->post->sku; echo $sku;
but that’d need to be in a conditional to only be called if the search result is a woocommerce product
Hi,
I am having trouble changing the menu link (main nav) color of one specific page. I need it lighter because I am using the transparent header and the header image drowns out the menu in some pages. So in “some pages” I need to change the menu text color to white. How do I do this? Thank you.
Hey neilgalang,
Add this into the css box in your visual composer view on the needed page:
#header-outer.transparent header#top nav > ul > li > a:hover, #header-outer.transparent header#top nav .sf-menu > li.sfHover > a, #header-outer.transparent header#top nav .sf-menu > li.current_page_ancestor > a, #header-outer.transparent header#top nav .sf-menu > li.current-menu-item > a, #header-outer.transparent header#top nav .sf-menu > li.current-menu-ancestor > a, #header-outer.transparent header#top nav .sf-menu > li.current_page_item > a, #header-outer.transparent header#top nav > ul > li > a:hover > .sf-sub-indicator > i, #header-outer.transparent header#top nav > ul > li.sfHover > a > span > i, #header-outer.transparent header#top nav ul #search-btn a:hover span, #header-outer.transparent header#top nav ul .slide-out-widget-area-toggle a:hover span, #header-outer.transparent header#top nav .sf-menu > li.current-menu-item > a i, #header-outer.transparent header#top nav .sf-menu > li.current-menu-ancestor > a i, #header-outer.transparent .cart-outer:hover .icon-salient-cart, .ascend #boxed #header-outer.transparent .cart-outer:hover .cart-menu .cart-icon-wrap .icon-salient-cart {
color: #fff!important;
}

Hi, I would like to combine all css and js files into two files. How do I do that? i can’t find the calls.
thank you
Hey – you’d need to use the plugin bwp minify in order to accomplish that
Hello, is the theme Salient already translated to es_ES and it_IT?
kind regards
Hey – unfortunately those translations are not included, just the .po/.mo are so you can translate yourself into any language
Hi there.
Can you pls tell my why that two columns in the same row behaves differently when on “Full width content”-mode? The video-column follows the header-bottom, while the right-side column hides underneath the header? I had to add a 100px divider…
Cheers
Peter
http://minus-akasse.dkHey Peter,
When I delete the divider shortcode from your markup i’m seeing the “Om -A” title align with the top of the video as expected – could you prepare a sample page not using the full width content (or divider) so I can better understand the difference you’re seeing?
Cheers
Is there any built in functionality in the Salient theme to easily enable Google AdSense functionality or other functionality that can drive revenue through advertising?
What about if I wanted to put an affiliate add up such as for Blue Host? Would I simply do that with a TEXT WIDGET and copy and paste the code Blue Host gives me?
Hey baylor3217,
yes, a text widget would work or even just pasting the code into the text tab on any page should show the relevant ad
Cheers
Hi, Is there a way to have the Portfolio sort categories stay horizontal, but have sub categories within them that drop down as options?
I really need this functionality, and I can parent a category under another but this doesn’t create a drop down.
Thanks!
Hey AmyNYC,
Unfortunately there’s no option for this yet – but the idea is on the wishlist
Cheers
Hey Salient folk!
We’ve migrated an old blog with about 100 blog posts into the Salient WP site. On all blog posts we’d like the menu transparency to be disabled, as many of the posts don’t have background images and the default gray doesn’t look good.
I know there is a per post “Force disable transparency” option, but can we do that at a global level with CSS that only effects posts?
Thanks!
Hey! Open your functions.php file and change this line:
if(is_search() || is_tax() || $disable_effect == 'on') { $using_applicable_shortcode = 0; $header_bg = 0; $header_bg_color = 0; } to:
if(is_search() || is_tax() || is_single() || $disable_effect == 'on') { $using_applicable_shortcode = 0; $header_bg = 0; $header_bg_color = 0; }
Hi,
I would like to disable the nectar slider on mobile.
I used this custom CSS@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.nectar-slider-wrap {
display: none!important;
}
}
but it leaves a black box where the slider used to be.
Please let me know.
Cheers, Graham
Hey Graham,
Change that to:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
. parallax_slider_outer, .nectar-slider-wrap {
display: none!important;
}
}
Cheers
Perfect thank you!
You’re welcome 
In the Admin visual composer is now showing up as loading and nothing else , tried in IE and Chrome . Update to the latest version still the same .
Any ideas ?
Hey – could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on if you’ve already ensured no plugins are causing it

Ok , i have found out what the problem is, I have WordPress running on a windows server with Microsoft URL scan enabled and i have the following error in the log files :
php.default.min.js?ver=3.7.3 Rejected URL+contains+dot+in+path URL - -
Is their a way of removing the version number ? i do not want to disable the dot in path rule and can not seem to get it to ignore this request .
Cheers
Anyway you could share your URL so I can check the error as well? there not script in the theme itself named default.min.js
Sorry – I thought you meant from the salient/js directory! To alter the version number on that check out the salient/wpbakery/js_composer/composer/build.php file and edit this line: wp_register_script(‘wpb_php_js’, $this->composer->assetURL( ‘lib/php.default/php.default.min.js’ ), array(‘jquery’), WPB_VC_VERSION, true);
ok , all working , no more just loading
changed php.default/php.default.min.js to php_default/php_default.min.js and copied and renamed the files …
Good to hear 
when I check the code and elements, everything seems to be downloaded but I don’t see anything, I only see white page with preloading image. Like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/60cyua0u1xh4wh2/Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202014-12-22%2C%20%C3%A0s%2010.49.12.png?dl=0
But if I copy the address and put directly on the address tab, it works without problem!!What is wrong??
UPDATE: I turned off AJAX animation. Can you tell me what the problem could be so I can turn on AJAX animation again?
Hey,
try simply changing the page transition method from ajax to the standard simulated option
What you mean? I turn off AJAX transition is that it?
This is what I’m referring to: http://i.imgur.com/qiDjPbJ.jpg
Hi Nectar,
I’ve asked in a former post and it’s a bit urgent now. I have to server Retina pics and I wonder how is the handling with nectar Slider:
Just one important question about Retina pics. How does the theme manage the fullwidth slider? If I am uploading f.e.a slider-pic with 4000 px width, what is the resolution of the pic in nectar-slider? WP-Retina 2X should serve two pics: 1 x “normal” (2000 px width f.e.) and 1 x “Retina” (4000 px width) but I am not able to see a defined resolution for the slider pics.
Please any advice!
Thanks!
Hey ImediaMP,
The Nectar Slider will simply serve the image at the size you upload it at – having it switch dimensions like that would take some custom integration with your plugin
Cheers
Hi,
I bought the theme, and it’s terrific. However, every time I open my page for editing, I received:
Your page layout was either created with a previous Visual Composer version or you have elements/text located outside of VC rows (which could have occured if you switched into the classic editor view to make changes). Visual Composer requires all content be contained within rows to render correctly – before converting your layout to the new version, make sure to read this page.
I don’t mind going through this hassle, but every time it converts the page (I am forced to), it escapes the single quote ‘, meaning that it added an extra backslash to the character, and it becomes \’. After a few times going through this, the word “I’m” now becomes “I\\\\\\\\\’m” and I am tired of going through every single item on the page and fix it. This conversion also delete all the line breaks.
Please advise.
Thanks!
Hey afunworm,
Is that occurring for you on all of your pages or just specific ones? In general that should only show up if you have content outside of row elements in your text tab
Cheers
Hi,
As of now, it only occurs in one page. I have not done anything rather than replace the existing content of the demo data. How can I fix it? Even after converting, it happens all over again!
Please advise,
Thank you!
Hey – could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on

Hi,
I am developing the website in localhost. Is there any way you guys can do a live support through Skype or Teamviewer?
Thanks!
Hey again!
Could you still open a ticket in regards and paste in the contents of your pages code from the text tab?
Having a problem with Button Shortcode. It only shows the code, not the button. 
Tried Every Button.
Hey TheLKM, please share your URL so I can take a look and ensure that no plugins are causing the conflict.
Hello,
Can you please tell me how I can disable the Slide Out Widget for mobile devices?
Thanks!
Hey paul19!
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.slide-out-widget-area-toggle {
display: none!important;
}
Hi,
That code disables the slide out overall. I asked to not show only on mobile devices.
Thanks
Hey again – please change it to:
@media only screen and (max-width:1000px) {
.slide-out-widget-area-toggle {
display: none!important;
}
}
Hi,
I have just noticed that after adding this code, nothing has changed. The slide out icon is still present on mobile devices. I even changed the width to 1800px and still it shows.
Why is this? Please assist asap.
Did you verify that you didn’t accidentally paste the pre tags in with the snippet? If so, please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on
themenectar.ticksy.com
Cheers
Didn’t include the pre tags. Very weird. I have sent an email with credentials. Please get back to me asap.
Thanks
I meant I opened a ticket #346730
Thanks
Thanks, i’ll be with you as soon as I can 
Does the transparent header feature only work with the Nectar Slider as the first element below the header?
I tried the transparent header without the slider and instead just a row with a bg image and some text, but the header is not transparent. It only inherits the row’s bg color.
Thanks for all your support so far.
Hey! There’s an option in your page header settings metabox at the bottom of your edit page screen to “Force Transparency On Navigation” 
Beautiful! Thanks again.
You’re welcome
