Hi thanks for a great theme!
I have tried to update theme version from salient 4.0.3 to latest version 5.0, via FTP. However upon updating to latest version, my homepage does not display correctly. Seems like all other pages worked well (I didn’t check every single page though).
I’m currently using wordpress version 4.0.1… I will also want to update to latest version of WP 4.1 if possible with the latest version of your theme?
Please help!
Thanks, James
Hey James!
Could you let me know what specifically isn’t displaying correctly on your home page and possibly share a URL so I could take a look?
Cheers
Sure – can I send you private screenshots? Or do you need to look at the code? In order to get the issue back, I need to enable the new theme to temporarily break the site!
Can you email me direct?
Could you please open a private ticket in regards

Hello,
I am trying to change the portfolio header color to black- right now the default is a gray. I see where we can adjust the colors on the bottom of the page but the font color only works if we select a background color. Is there a quick code I can pluggin to change the page header color for all portfolio items on a single portfolio page?
Hey icebox10,
Add this into the custom css box:
body .row .col.section-title h1, body h1 {
color: #000!important;
}
Cheers
Worked! Thanks for the quick reply- appreciate it 
You’re welcome
I’ve been trying to figure out a way and implement this personally, but struggling. So i’m wondering if its possible to have an option to have the menu/header bg blurred.
Ie… not every image can have transparent text on it… so a blur there would be fabulous.
Hey llirik!
Unfortunately you’d need to handle the blurring of your image in Photoshop or another program prior to uploading it as of now
Cheers
Would it be possible to request this for a future option?
I have had some luck myself… just having some issues with the z-index not properly displaying. I am using this code here: http://jsfiddle.net/nallenscott/WtQjY/41/a few other things, as I’m having trouble finding the exact class to write my css:
1) id like to add a hover state to the menu when transparent background 2) same but for the horizontal sorting bar. my main color is a dark blue… and the bar is black… so its hard to see.
I’ve noted the idea for the wishlist
Add this into your custom css box:
html body #header-outer[data-transparent-header="true"].transparent:hover {
background-color: #000!important;
}
Hmm… that does it to the full menu, rather than just the ul/li
3) is it possible to make the carousel continually moving… i.e., smooth?
4) Also, is it possible to have 6 columns (team)... and then extend more and combine with carousel as above? Ive seen this on other themes, so wondering if this is possible.
5) I’m unable to style the text-color of checkboxes in forms… i have added a class in contact form 7. i don’t need an overall color change (it seems to take it from the accent color).. but using the slide out widget, its darker and the color is the same.
6) on a different site, the comments are within the sidebar in the portfolio… on a new install now… they are full width… so when the follow sidebar option is checked… they overlap now. Ive tried looking as to how to fix this, but not seeing anything.
Change the snippet to:
body #header-outer.transparent[data-transparent-header="true"] nav > ul > li > a:after {
background-color: #000;
content: " ";
display: block;
height: 29px;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
z-index: -1;
opacity: 0;
}
body #header-outer.transparent[data-transparent-header="true"] nav > ul > li:hover > a:after {
opacity:1;
}
3. This isn’t possible with the plugin used to create the carousel
4. You can use a carousel with team member elements inside of it but unfortunately changing the columns to that would need a mod to the init.js file
5/6. Could you please share the URL in regards?
Hey again – change your skin from ascend to the default one
Cheers
I prefer many elements in Ascend. What would I need to change manually to accomplish this (I would suggest there be a setting for this)
Hey – You would need to modify the comments.php file in regards
Hey, another issue has come up. 2 part actually.
7a) the background when selecting a color for the portfolio does not span full width. http://imgur.com/auFdKAJ I’ve tried figuring out the css to force it, but have been unable to.
7b) i can’t seem to figure out how to get the light/dark to work properly with my logo. www.scope.me ie… when i select “light” text and a dark bgcolor… logo is still dark. if i inverse the uploads, logo is ONLY light (never dark).
hmm, not sure what caused this but the ajax loading icon is off slightly. which css code is required to adjust this right?
http://imgur.com/1RPtVXHHey,
7a. Could you kindly link me the direct URL so I can assist?
7b. It seems you’re using a plugin for the slider so the light/dark settings for the nectar slider wouldn’t apply
8. Could you also link the page URL for this in regards?
Cheers
Hi. Thank you for creating such a great theme. I’m playing around with it right now locally. I wanted to re-create the ascend demo. I imported the dummy data. I imported the ascend specific theme options.
1) Now, in wordpress’s reading settings, which front page do I pick from the drop down?
2) I noticed that it didn’t import any of the images.
3) Is there anything else that I need to do to re-create that demo?
Please help.
Hey!
1. Whichever you want, but for the ascend demo select the home landing page
2. Please see the “Included Data” section in the user guide http://themenectar.com/docs/salient.pdf
3. You can also import the theme options in the Salient options panel > import/export tab
There seems to be an issue with the new version. When I resize a window then some of the contents disappears. Looks like dynamic elements are getting lost. I’m using Google Chrome browser.
Try it for yourself: http://www.pokerhuds.com/heads-up-cash-game-hud/
Hey – could you kindly let me know if you’re referring to resizing to mobile width or just resizing at all. I can’t see elements disappearing yet on my end
It happens when I open or refresh the website in a half screen browser window and then maximize it. Tried that using Chrome and Firefox on a Win 7 PC. My colleagues are experiencing the same on their PCs.
Hey again – thanks for the clarification I’ve noted to test this for the next update
Hello,
How can I make the header the same as the header in your one page demo and your e-commerce demo? So that the texts will be in the middle, no thin line, and the three little clickable bars on te right next to the search icon. tnx!
Hey,
All of those options reside in the header options tab in your Salient options panel – choose the centered header layout, check the option to remove the border when using the transparent header and activate the slide out widget area
Cheers
Hi,
We uploaded special fonts for main texts, nectar slider captions and main menu. On safari it looks perfect but on other web browsers like firefox & chrome, the fonts look different. How can we fix it?
Thank you!
Hey,
Could you kindly share the URL in regards so I can check it out?
Cheers
1. Currently pn my PC I’m seeing the same font rendering on Firefox/Chrome/Safari – what OS are you using and is there anyway you could supply screenshots?
2. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.swiper-container .slider-prev, .swiper-container .slider-next {
background-color: transparent!importnat;
}
.slide-count {
display: none!important;
}
Hi,
I seem to be having an issue since updating to 4.1 with rows.
It’s like the row I’m editing applies to the one above it or below it rather than the one I’m actually editing. Does this make sense?
Thanks

Hi I have one question. Can featured image be shown above audio player in audio post and on front blog page? Thanks.
Hey, you’d need to mod the entry-audio.php file located in includes/post-templates in regards

Hello Developer,
I was reading your comments for one of my friend’s website solution but this method not working in child theme.
old topic discussed that here:
How to change cart icon?
http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/130812/search/want to replace cart icon with “fa-suitcase” as a new icon
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
.icon-salient-cart {
font-family:'FontAwesome'!important;
}
.icon-salient-cart:before {
content:"\f0f2"!important;
}
Cheers
Hello Friend,

This code hide that cart.
Thanks for support but still not solved.

Hi
I added the code you provided some other customer. However, when doing so, the linebreak between P and Span (author) disappears.
How to avoid that? I added the code to the slider-bar next to the video
http://www.erhverv.peterpackroff.dk/blog/?preview=true&preview_id=2299&preview_nonce=c40784ef02.blogtestimonial p{ color: #fff; padding: 0px; display: inline; position: relative; left: 10px; background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); -moz-box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); -webkit-box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); -o-box-shadow: 10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), -10px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); line-height: 45px; }
Hey Peter, Could you kindly supply a screenshot of what you’re referring to as well just so I can be sure I’m checking in the right area?
I ended up changing the design, to achieve a quick-fix, sorry.
What happened was simply that when adding the code to e.g. the quote slider, the line-break disappeard. Meaning I got background colored text, but all in one line. Quote + Author in one line.
In your above snippet try changing display: inline; to display: block; if you add the code back in
aaah youre so clever! Thanks :0)))
You’re welcome
Hi, is 5.0 fully compatible with wordpress 4.1? Fullwidth shortcode is not working for me. Thanks

Hi there, looking to use this theme potentially for a project, but have two questions.
Is dropping a button into the portfolio sidebar tough? I’m thinking about this layout, but need a call-to-action somewhere.
http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266 https://www.evernote.com/shard/s29/sh/548b6390-9378-4df8-bfee-f117bdf42824/6bb656ea1b86db0965fa61762a6b31932nd question is does the portfolio need to live at /portfolio/blah or is that easily changed? I realize this is probably a wordpress question but I’ve seen themes that make it tough by hard coding the portfolio stuff.
Thanks!!
I answered my 1st question (changing the /portfolio/ slug) with a simple search of your prev answers; sorry about that:)
And answered 2nd question by buying the theme:) This is a beautifully laid out theme. Thoughtful flexibility. I’ve bought/used quite a few and I can think of a few projects I think this would have been better for.
Hey, glad to hear!
Cheers
Hi. The “Buy” button that appears above each of my portfolio items in desktop browsers is not showing up in mobile browsers. Any idea why this might be happening?
Example: http://www.recapturist.com/portfolio/indianhead-motel/
Thank you.
Hey,
I actually don’t see the buy button on that item even on desktop displays – could you post a quick screenshot showing which you’re talking about?
Cheers
Sure, it’s the red button above the image shown here: http://imgur.com/j2lskEc
It seems you’re using a plugin for this so I can’t say why the markup is not rendering at all on certain screen sizes – have you tried reaching out to the plugin author?
Not yet. I will try that now. Thanks.
Hi,
I updated to wordpress 4.1, but the visual composer seems to need an upgrade. Is it okay to go ahead?
Hey,
If you’re using the raw plugin you would indeed need to update it separately
Hi, the theme looks great and I’d love to purchase it. I just a small question: do you provide technical support? I got stuck in the middle of a site building process with the last theme I bought because I didn’t get any replies to my questions.
Thank you!

Hey Dafna,
Support is handled for free

Hello,
I am trying to sort out the about page so that my about infomation is on the page motionmediamarketing.com/about/ however, it keeps redirecting to http://motionmediamarketing.com/about-2/. Do you know how to get rid of the redirect. There is no page under /about/ nor is the menu item redirecting.
Thanks for your help.
Regards, Dan
Hey Dan,
Make sure you don’t have any page with the slug about already saved – even in your trash. After you’ve deleted whatever page is occupying the slug you should be able to rename it
Cheers
Hi there,
There is no pages even in the bin which have the slug of /about/.

?The portfolio sort is not working on the iPhone 5s or perhaps on iPhones in general and possibly iPads. I am using Salient version 5.0
I have just opened a ticket for this with the link. My site is live and I really need to have this working. Please help.
Thank you
Regarding Anchors on a page, is there a certain CSS code or short code where for example on a specific page, there is a nectar slide, then once it is clicked, the page scrolls down to the next section on the page below it.
The same would apply for buttons where once clicked, it would scroll up or down to a certain page of the page.
Your help is appreciated. Thank you.
Hey acmediaservices,
Have you checked this out in regards? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj-NQ3YItlc
Cheers
Great video indeed. Although it’s more for a one page with anchors but I didn’t see it as an option to have anchors for content on a specific page. I’m looking for something more for just scrolling up and down in various sections of content on a page, while still utilizing the regular menu instead of the one page option.
