My nectar sliders take a long time to load, once they do, they scroll normally. My photos that are in the slider have roughly these settings: File size: 2 MB Dimensions: 5184 × 3456 Can you tell me the ideal File Size and Dimensions in order to have the nectar slider load faster. The rest of my page loads in a flash, and the nectar slider lags by about 10-15 seconds.
Thanks.
Hey palsy1149, a web safe image size for quick loading would be < 700kb – If you just make the first slide in your slider around that size it’ll load in a lot quicker.
Cheers
Thanks for the information. It did seem to help substantially.
Glad to hear! 
Hi I’ve just updated WordPress to 4.1 and:
now i have some weird characters in the letters with accent since the update (the website is in Spanish)
i switch to another theme say (Twenty Fifteen) and no problem, is there a way to change the charset ?
neeever mind! changed the google font. cheers…. great theme
Hey visualmotion, glad you sorted it
Hi,
I noticed that some of the images that have a ‘fade’ animation don’t load until I resize my browser window. Anyway to fix this?
Hey Ace,
Are the images inside of your tabbed element?
Hey, TN
Hope all is well
I have a question about the portfolio. I have installed the dummy data as an example so that I could eventually publish more details on my repertoire, however, I would like to ask if the reason they do not show up via the actual Portfolio page is because albeit they are assigned to a Category is it that they have to have a Feautured Image to actually show up as a preview? Let me know your thoughts. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hey jeremydarko!
Do you have the categories that those sample items are assigned to set to display within your portfolio element? 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
Hey TN the sample portfolio items are all assigned to display within the element however I did not create featured images for any of them which is why I assume they do not display. I’d love a more profound explanation on your end. I’ve opened a ticket up for your viewing pleasure. Looking forward to hearing from you.
- Cheers!
When you leave out the featured image a black placeholder should be used so the item should still display – I’ll be with you on your ticket in regards

My theme is boxed but it automatically changes to wide when I go through pages. Why is that?
When you go on the page greenswitchtech.com the layout is boxed. As soon as you click on one of the pages in main menu. The layout turns wide. Very weird
Hey TheLKM,
Try to switch to the standard transition method for now in your page transitions option tab within the salient options panel
Cheers
Yes that fixed it. Will the transition be fixed in next update?
Yes – i’ve marked to test more with that
How can i change the size of Article Text?? Readers told me the Text is too small to read it.
And do you recommend a Ad Plugin ?
Website is jospiko.de
Hey,
1. Check the body text field of your typography options tab
2. There’s no official one I recommend but if you encounter any issues with your desired one just let me know
Cheers
Hey,
How do I change the color of at the side of the page? The main color in the background across all pages.
Cheers
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.container-wrap {
background-color: #000!important;
}
Hi there,
Quick question here. My static nectar slider (not video) is looping infinitely even though that functionality in the settings is left unchecked. I want the slider to stop on the last slide. I am autorotating my slides, does that have anything to do with the infinite loop?
Hey esivak,
The loop option actually just dictates whether the slider will loop the first slide item after the last instead of coming to an endpoint when navigating with the next/prev buttons. Currently there’s no option to disable the video loop functionality or end an autorotate premature (prior to user interaction) from the options panel
Cheers
Hi there. As I mentioned before this is not a video slider. It’s a regular, static slider that continues to loop indefinitely. Is there no option to end a regular slider on the last slide?
Hey,
Open your nectar-slider.js file located in the js directory and delete this line:
$nectarSliders[sliderNum].swipeTo(0,800);
Hey there,
It actually breaks the slider. So instead of the slider I have a slider-size white space.
Could you share your URL in regards so I can see what happened?
I reverted back to original code. You can see the infinite loop in the header slider that we need to stop at the last slide: http://www.projectstory.com/opsnotes/nsourcedev/wordpress/
Could you kindly open a ticket in regards themenectar.ticksy.com with your admin credentials so I can apply it for you?
Hey, great theme but i got some problems i can´t get solved
1. how can i integrate a custom font? (aside of google fonts)
2. I got a lot of Portfolio items and i will get a lot more, is it possible to get portfolio sites to skip through? (like page 1 2 3 >)
3. search results look really messy, is there a way to get the results in a grid view? see here: http://goo.gl/CjCgfl
thanks in advance!
Hey petergriffinn,
1. You’d need to use font face in your stylesheet: http://sixrevisions.com/css/font-face-guide/
2. Yes – activate the portfolio pagination option in your portfolio element inside of Visual Composer or if you’re using the portfolio page template use the portfolio options tab in your Salient options panel.
3. The search results are displayed using the masonry format (the right blank space is the sidebar widget area) Modding this would require some custom tinkering with the search.php file
Cheers
thanks for your help, you guys are the best!
You’re welcome
Hi, I purchased the theme recently. Everything’s going well (congrats for the beautiful theme) except the appearance of pictures in:
1. the nectar slider -> it’s uploading infinitely 2. as background image in a row -> the code appears on the top right of the box, such as this:
http://new.lakatlan.kek.org.hu/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/2014-04-09-16.55.39.jpg'); ” class=”vc_span6 wpb_column column_container col centered-text padding-4-percent has-animation” data-using-bg=”true” data-padding-pos=”all” data-hover-bg=”#0a0a0a” data-animation=”fade-in-from-left” data-delay=”800”>I already updated wp, so this cannot be the problem. Any other ideas? Thanks a lot! Julia
Hey Lakatlan!
Could you let me know where on your site I can check this out? On your home page Nectar Slider I can’t seem to see that error: http://new.lakatlan.kek.org.hu/
Cheers
Thanks for the reponse, in the meanwhile I swiched off a plugin and that solved the problem. Best, J
Great to hear
Hi, is it possible to randomize the Nectar Slider in the home and select only the slider I wanna view in a specific page?
Hey – currently there’s no random order option for the Nectar Slider but you can select the slider location you want to view on any given page from the Visual Composer Nectar Slider edit screen
Cheers
Will you add this possibility in the future release?
I’ve noted your +1 to the idea
Any news on this? 
Hi there,
Is possible to add descriptions to the Tags or Archives Feed Page on the Blog?
Hey poundcake23, that would take some modding to the index.php file for now but I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist
Hi, I have change my contact page’s background color into black using this code:
.container-wrap { background-color: #000!important; }
It is working fine on my desktop pc showing withe form boxes, but when view on mobile device. the contact form boxes where you fill the texts are also black so I can’t see them. Please help. thank you~
Hey sonykun,
Please share your URL in regards so I can take a quick peek
Cheers!
My URL is http://kisswithoutlipsproductions.com Warning: Horror movie productions site with scary background music. Also: 1. how do i see the whole website without cropping on a horizontal mobile device? 2.The 3 buttons on home page in vertical mobile view are in two rows. Is there a way to make them in one row only? 3. My “writing picture” page’s nectar slide is set NOT to loop, but the photos just keep on looping anyway. I don’t want it to loop. also is there a way to have black screen between the slides? or do I just add black photos in between the slides? or sharp transition without fade. 4. The top nectar slide banner on my “who page” is cropping a lot more than the same banner on my “films page”. Is there a way to make it works the same way as banner on “films page” Thank you very much.
1. Are you referring to cropping of the header images?
2. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
.nectar-button.large {
font-size: 10px!important;
padding: 7px 9px!important;
}
}
3. Open your nectar-slider.js file located in the js directory and delete this line:
$nectarSliders[sliderNum].swipeTo(0,800);
4. You’d need to set the BG image on the row containing your contact form – that’ll make it stretch the height of the page
Cheers
Thank you. 1. No, the background video 2. Didn’t work. it’s still showing two lines. 3. When I deleted the line, the page is broken.
Could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at why those didn’t work for you? themenectar.ticksy.com/
Please see my ticket #342301 .
I need urgent assistance.
Thanks
Hey paul19, I’ll check as soon as possible
I want to hide the navigation on desktop using this code
.home #header-outer, .home #header-space { display: none!important; }
But I would like to show navigation on mobile devices. Is there a way to do that?
Hey,
Yes – change the snippet to this:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
.home #header-outer, .home #header-space { display: none!important; }
}
Cheers
Hi,
You shared below code to increase the width of side bar, which I added in custom css box and its working:
#sidebar {
width: 30% !important;
}
#post-area {
width: 65% !important;
}
BUT when I open the webpage in tablet or mobile device, its also shows sidebar there as well, which looks really bad. Please suggest how can I remove side bar in mobile devices.
Also there is padding in mobile and tablet which creating a free space in right and left side, which make awkward look. Please suggest for the same as well. Here is the link:

Hey Sachin300,
Change the snippet to:
@media only screen and (min-width:1000px) {
#sidebar {
width: 30% !important;
}
#post-area {
width: 65% !important;
}
}
Cheers
Hey I used the same and now the layout is default theme layout. Even the custom fonts are not working. I used custom fonts to increase the font size, but its not working, neither the above code you shared. Please suggest.
Something may have gotten entered wrong in your css box, if you can open a ticket in regards I’d be glad to take a look for you http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Hello,
Are the Nectar Sliders SEO optimized? I have many keywords in the slider but it does not seem that google or yoast SEO is picking them up. What can I do here?
Thanks
Hey paul19,
The heading of your slide gets placed in an h2 and the caption gets placed in a paragraph tag, you can see this in the page source – however it’s likely that Yoast simply doesn’t see them since it’s not checking custom meta fields for the slider post type.
Cheers
Hey!
Im using the one page site demo – but have a seperate Blog page. When a user goes to blog page or into a blog post, they are not able to navigate back to the one page home sections. Is there a way to fix this so the top links (anchor points) always go back to the home page.
For example, at the moment the a section on the home has the url: http://www.ozapocalypse.com/#who The user then clicks on the blog link which takes them to a PAGE http://www.ozapocalypse.com/blog/ If the user then wants to go back to the who section on the one page, the url is http://www.ozapocalypse.com/blog/#who Which obviously doesnt work.So what I want is the menu items to ignore the permalink /blog/
Z
Hey ladydekade!
Yes – make your anchor links in the menu use the full URL so instead of just using ”#who” use “http://www.ozapocalypse.com/#who”
Cheers
Pre-sale question: Are there PSD’s? and can you provide them if I purchase this theme?
Thank you.
Hey – unfortunately no PSDs are included with the theme
Cheers
Hi, I was wondering if the theme has a built in filter – or if i can use something like: https://jplist.com/jplist-wordpress-version
I will have a large list of posts that need to be easy to find – i know the portfolio has sorting but i need to be able to sort/filter by 3 different categories.
Thank you!!
Hey DavidSwiz, unfortunately there’s nothing built in for filtering outside of the portfolio isotope integration. The idea is on the wishlist though
