Say if I wanted to edit the kategory- page-template for when filtering on e.g. blog-subjects, how would I get around that?
Is it possible you can make these pages in Templatera in future update, so that it is possible to edit those page?
I would like to create separate landing-pages for each term, in order to really SEO-boost my website.
Do you know what I mean?
Hey, the actual archive template for categories pulls from the index.php – you’d need to mod that file to have conditionals for each different header you wanted
Cheers
Anyway to get different transitions on the Nectar Slider?
Hey Ace,
The fade and slide are the only two currently – new ones would require some custom development
Cheers
Hi!
In Page Builder or in the Theme Settings page, is there any way to change the background color of ”.ascend .container-wrap” to ”#FFFFFF” without using CSS? It is set to gray ”#F6F6F6” and it doesn’t look that great!
Also, is there any way to change the icon background? It’s gray now with the value of ”#EEEDEC !important” (“[class^=”icon-”].icon-3x”).
Please see the screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/EUm1fVK.png
Please advise,
Thanks!
Hey,
1. If you set your row to full width background your white will extend to the edges of the screen thus making it so you don’t have to use css to alter the container wrap.
2. You can’t change that icon BG without using css, but if you need assistance just let me know
Cheers
Hi there,
Thanks for the reply. However, regarding the first problem, I’d like it to have the width of the container wrap as in “In container”, not “full-width” (like, a couple hundreds pixels padding to the left and right). Is there any way to change the background in VC Composer?
Thanks.
You can’t alter the container wrap BG color without css, but the full width BG row type should keep the content at the same width as in container, only full width content should alter the content space. Is there a reason you don’t want to do the global change of the container with css in the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel?
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your reply. The last comments make it work. I don’t like to mess with the theme, and I don’t know how to use child theme. But it’s all good now.
I have another question, please bare with me. Is there any way to create a text slide? I mean, it looks exactly like Testimonials, but with neither quotation marks nor customer’s name. Just the dot (navigation) and a custom text (or HTML) to slide.
Best regards,
Tim.
Hey again!
If you wanted that you’d need to modify the testimonial.php file located in the nectar/nectar-vc-addons/vc_templates direcotyr
Cheers
1. Is it possible to add a background overlay (the frame with many heads) like my website now on your theme? http://kisswithoutlipsproductions.com or is there a better way to do this? and is it responsive? 2. I just found out that the iphone and ipad doesn’t support autoplay video background, and salient offer a still image to replace the video. my question is that can i use a animated gif image instead?
Hey,
1. That would take some custom css
2. Yes, you can supply a gif if desired for the mobile image
Cheers 
I absolutely LOVE the new ecommerce theme! This is something I’ve been waiting for so thank you. I do have a few quick questions if you would be so kind to help out. I DO have v5.0 fyi:
1. I have searched everywhere and can not find the option to have the “sale!” banner show up as a red rectangle on the left for items on sale, as shown in the ecommerce demo. I still get the old ugly circle on the right. How do I change?
2. On the single product page you now have a large awesome blue quantity and add to cart button. I can not find this option either?
3. Hovering over products on your demo shows price & tags … how do I enable this option?
Thanks so much!!!
Hey!
1. Have you changed the product style to the new one in your woocommerce settings tab?
2/3 This will also come by selecting the “Add to cart text on hover” product style
Cheers 
Is there a certain shortcode for a Nectar Slider button section so that for example, a person can click the button in the Nectar slider which could state” View Trailer” and then there is some shortcode in the link area of the nectar slide that once the button is clicked, a YouTube video pops up. Is this possible? If so, can you provide an example of a shortcode to place in the link section near the button? Thank you.
Hey – if you just enter a youtube URL into one of the button URL fields on your slider it will automatically lightbox it like that.
Cheers
It just changes to the youtube page and doesn’t do a pretty photo
Is there anything to add to the Extra Class Name of the slider? Pretty Photo pop up video is not working by just placing the youtube link in the Button Link area
Anyway you could lend the URL so I can take a look?
Cheers
It’s the same website in my recent ticket which I posted in Theme Nectar. If you can check it out, that would be great, as I can’t post the link here as it’s private. Thank you.
I’ll check there, do you happen to know any of your ticket ID’s? Also are you on the latest release?
Cheers
For some reason, the Sort portfolio functionality is not working on my iPhone 5s with the latest Salient and most up to date WordPress version. I’ve never seen this issue before. Whichever category I pick on my iPhone for the portfolio sort function, it stays the same from most recent to the last instead of sorting by category. I can’t list the site here, but I emailed you in a ticket. Please help. Thank you 
Hey – I’ll check your ticket as soon as I can, are you seeing the same on the demo?
Cheers
can make something like this same header transparency wideer sample http://avicor.ca with your Theme please let me know thanks
Hey – you can set the header to be semi transparent like that with simple css
Cheers
earpeace.com, visual composer is not loading on my website. Can’t see my website. I am using the latest version of your theme and WP.
I checked in /themes/salient/wpbakery/js_composer and see that a very old version of Visual Composer is being used. Not sure if its the issue.
+ All the pages which are on Visual Composer are not loading.
Hey,
If you’ve already ensured no plugins are causing the conflict please open a ticket in regards so I can see what’s going on
themenectar.ticksy.com
Cgeers
Let me share here what i did and it looks like it fixed temporarily.
I disabled all the plugins and voila, Visual Composer started rendering the pages. While reactivating the plugins i found that it’s Woocommerce which is causing the conflict with the inbuilt Visual Composer.
To fix it for now, i removed the following code from woocommerce.php
if ( ! is_admin() || defined( ‘DOING_AJAX’ ) )
Not sure about the side effects but it fixed the issue.
My point why you guys are using such an old version of Visual Composer in your theme which is no where compatible with the latest WP and Woo and wouldn’t it be a good idea to make it separate from your theme now?
Will open a support ticket now and share the Ticket ID here.
Ticket: #341984
Hey again,
The version of VC which salient forked is listed in the wpbakery folder as you saw, it’s still gotten development and fixes applied to it this whole time and the new WooCommerce live demo is using the latest WP and WC versions without those issues. Something else must be at play in your setup – but the next few releases will most likely update the VC version to further align with the raw plugin
Is there a way to have the menu on an Ascend Salient theme version to only show the logo on the left and the Slide Out Widget Area on the right, but no actual menu in the Centered or any Header Layout option?
There are a lot of new websites that are using this style and I’m wondering if this is possible with Salient.
Thank you
I typed too quickly – figured out how to do it
But – Is there a way to increase the size of the Slide Out Widget Area (3 vertical bar) so that it is quite more evident that it is a navigation function? Thank you.
Hey – you’d need to modify the .lines-button rules within your style.css file – each of the three lines has separate rules so they would all need to be modded
Thank you for your help 
You’re welcome 

One of my favorite themes on Themeforest! 
So for some reason when I try to connect a Nectar Slider to my “Home” slider location, I still am getting a loading timer icon on a gray background with thin diagonal lines. I went through your user guide and I’m still stumped!
Thanks much!
Hey!
Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
Cheers
No problem, just took it off maintenance mode. Also, I wanted to specify…It’s showing the picture slider fine but the video capability isn’t working.
http://www.courtrightdesign.com/Thanks much!
Hey again! I’m seeing that you’re referencing video files from the themenectar server
i.e. http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/coding.webm
Please host the video files on your own server since the themenectar one blocks cross domain requests to help with bandwidth
Perfect! Makes sense…thanks for your quick help—very much appreciated.
You’re welcome 
I want the “Watch Me” button to open in the same window and play my youtube video. i believe its “Pretty photo or lightbox” instead of going to the a different window inside youtube. I want users to stay on the same page and watch my video. Look at homepage here Fluxxmedia.com
Currently im using :
[button open_new_tab=”true” color=”accent-color” hover_text_color_override=”#fff” size=”medium” url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCj6fOVtX8M” text=”Watch Me” color_override=”“]
I read all the comments on this and get get it to work. Do i need to use “RAW HTML?” if so can i get code for that with use of the button?
Any help would be great! Fluxxmedia.com
Hey,
You’d need to use the raw HTML for that rather than a shortcode. In your text tab on your editor use something like this:
<a data-hover-text-color-override="#fff" class="pp" data-hover-color-override="false" data-color-override="#20CFEF" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCj6fOVtX8M" target="_blank"><span>Facebook</span> </a><

1. How do make different posts in masonry larger i.e videos
2.How do I remove “Read More” on some posts as it shows on video and images. I want it on articles.
3.How I change the hart icon to different icon.
4.When I try to click on a category from the navigation bar it gives me a blank page. How to remove “Category Archives:”.
5.When I click on any old posts it also goes to a blank page.
6.How do I change the search icon on navigation bar to just word “Search”.
7.Where are the advertisement spaces?
8.Is there a slider for “latest posts” or “random posts” instead of video posts or images.
9.How do I set the feature image to be on “blog header” fullscreen as its just title and author.
http://www.pointsquad.com/Thank You.
Hey,
1. That would take some custom development as of now
2. Add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel > general settings tab:
.video .more-link {
display: none!important;
}
3. This would require some modding to the files inside of the includes/post-templates directory
4/5. Try switching your page transition method to the simulated ajax from the ajax you have it currently set to.
6. You’d need to modify the header.php file in regards
7. You can only place ads in widget areas, if you need them in other places it would take modding to the files
8. Not yet
9. The blog fullscreen header pulls only from the page header settings – if you wanted to change that, you’d need to alter the functions.php file at the page header function
Cheers
1.How do I remove “continue reading” on the excerpt home page.Want it to change to just ...
2.The “Read More” button is removed from all posts just want it on standard posts.
3.Can you provide the codes for changing the hart icon.
4.How to remove “Category Archives:” to just category name “Technology”.
5.In the demo “Ascend” the feature image is large in the post that’s what I want in my posts. http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266
Thank you.
1. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.recent-posts .more-link {
display: none!important;
}
2. I’m slightly confused here – are you saying you want to remove it from all post types beside the standard one?
3. Sorry – instead of that file, it would be better to edit the nectar-love.php file located in the nectar/love direcotyroy. You’d need to alter this line to the icon of your choosing:
icon-salient-heart
4. Check out the top of the index.php file in regards
5. Change your blog header style to the fullscreen option in the blog options tab in your Salient options panel
Cheers
I left a reply to a old ticket (private) Thanks
Thanks!
Hi there, great theme, so far so good. Wondering about how to get commas in the milestones? i.e. 120000000 to become $120,000,000.
Hey – this would require some custom development to the init.js file located in the js folder.
My sites down ..keep getting this error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ’.’ in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas05_data02/07/2323507/html/wp-content/themes/salient/css/custom.php on line 2
site comes up but when i click on any menu tab it goes all funny and when I try to log into the admin i get the above error …. ibroken . ca have a look
Is this the correct php https://github.com/nt46/salient/blob/master/css/custom.php
if not can you send me the correct custom.php file so I can upload it?
Good news. I was able to do a back up…..I was trying to get my blog set up…like this http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266 ...But mine has the words Categories : (Name) on each post but I was trying to enter a line of code i found online in the custom.php file to remove that…well lets just say I won’t be doing that again.
Is there a tutorial on how to set up a blog on the site? I cant find it
Hey – you can use the blog element located in your visual composer tab on your editor to display posts on any given page. Is there something more specific you were wondering in regards?
Hi!
I have a question. I’m trying to get rid of a “white space” in the very top of my website, where the menu usually is. I can’t find it anywhere. How can I solve this?
Link: http://www.erikwesterdahl.se
Thanks!
Never mind, found a script to remove the entire header.
Thanks anyway!
Hey, glad you found it! 
Cheers
Hey!
I have a question. Why the image caption is not showing on the mobile version? I use full width grid gallery masonry style with full caption overlay.
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey, could you kindly share your URL in regards?
Cheers
Add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.portfolio-items .work-info-bg {
opacity: 0.6!important;
}
.portfolio-items .col .work-info .vert-center *, .portfolio-items .col .work-info i {
opacity: 1!important;
}
}
Thank you so much for your effort and sharing the code.
This worked but just for the overlay, the image caption is still not showing.
Can you please kindly provide further instructions?
Thankful in advance!
Hey!
Sorry, change it to this:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.portfolio-items .work-info-bg {
opacity: 0.6!important;
}
.portfolio-items .col .work-info .vert-center *, .portfolio-items .col .work-info i, .portfolio-items .work-info {
opacity: 1!important;
}
}
Hello,
Can you please let me know how I could add the word ‘menu’ to the left hand side of the navigation slide out icon? (the three horizontal stripes).
I would like this to be one unit so when either the word ‘menu’ or the icon is clicked it opens the slide out section.
Thanks
Hey,
You’d need to add that into the header.php file
Cheers
What do I put and where? That is what I am asking.
Search for “slide-out-widget-area-toggle” in your header.php file to end up at the right location
Rather than keep directing me to the ‘area’ to which I should go why don’t you take 20 seconds to tell me what code to put and where.
It seems your support has taken a turn for the worse.
You’d just add your text i.e. “menu” to the section I mentioned above. The li you will see when doing that search is:
<li class="slide-out-widget-area-toggle">
<div> <a href="#sidewidgetarea" class="closed"> <span> <i class="lines-button x2"> <i class="lines" /> </i> </span> </a> </div>
</li>
and you’d need to change that to:
<li class="slide-out-widget-area-toggle">
<div> <a href="#sidewidgetarea" class="closed"> <span> Menu </span> </a> </div>
</li>
Cheers
Hey Nectar,
I really liked CloudFlare’s RocketLoader (which asynchronously loads JS), but I’ve gotten reports from lots of chrome and firefox users that it broke the site for them, so I’ve had to turn it off. CloudFlare claims it can happen with “non-standard js.” Is there anything I can do to have RocketLoader working seamlessly with the JS on the site?
One of the issues I’ve seen is that the preloader would just spin continuously, and the site wouldn’t render at all.
Hey,
If the order of the javascript files change it could cause it – I’ve noted to test with that service with cloudflare to see if that’s the case
Cheers
Please do. I submitted an HAR file to them to troubleshoot but they told me I wouldn’t hear back until some time in January. Are there any specific JS files that should load immediately and any that can be deferred safely? Because I can tag them to be excluded from RocketLoader to fix the problem, but I don’t know where to start.
Hey again – if you check in the functions.php file at the nectar_register_js function you can see the initial order in which to maintain. Mainly just ensuring the init.js comes before the nectar slider script but after all dependencies should be good enough
Hi there, and merry Christmas! Is it possible to change the image on hover in the portfolio category? Thanks.
Hey!
As of right now that would require some custom development but I’ve noted the idea for the wishlist
Cheers
