Hello
First of all, I really love your template guys! Really awesome job!
I am just trying to change the text background colour of the Nectar Slider heading and caption. Right now the caption semi transparent background option is not giving enough contrast so I would love to be able to change it to non transparent with whatever colour I would like. Same for the nectar sliding header.
Could you help? Or introduce this feature in next version?
Thanks!!!
Hey mayom,
As of now this would require some css – add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
.swiper-slide .content h2,
.swiper-slide .content p {
color: #000!important;
background-color: transparent!important;
}
Cheers
Hi. is it possible to create multiple portfolios? I need to display the different category portfolio posts in different galleries.
Hey prakheja,
Yes – you can choose different category sets for different pages of your choosing when using the portfolio

Hey ehong33234,
Could you kindly share your URL in regards?
Cheers
Here’s a link to a shop item. Just add to cart and go to checkout page. http://goo.gl/w5o6DS. I just tested on Chrome, Firefox and Safari, all have this display. Thanks!
Hey – I’m seeing that you have some custom css which is causing this display:
#table, th {
text-align: center;
font-size: 15px;
padding-top: 6px;
padding-bottom: 6px;
background-color: #828282;
color: #ffffff;
}
hmmm, that’s very strange. I don’t see any custom css in my theme’s quick css. Anywhere else I should look?
Could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on themenectar.ticksy.com/
Yes, I did. Ticket 359948
Thanks – i’ll be with you as soon as I can
That’s odd. I don’t have anything in the custom or quick css fields. Where else would this be?
Hey – could you kindly verify the admin credentials in your ticket so I can log in? They don’t seem to be working at the moment
Hi Nectar,
I have everything working perfectly with anchor points on a one page theme etc. I have a portfolio section of the site. When I am in a single portfolio post and then click a link on my top navbar, it adds the #anchorpoint to the end of the url,
http://www.mydomain.co/?portfolio=myportfoliopost#anchorpointrather then going back to the http://www.mydomain/#anchorpoint which is the link I have in my top navigation bar.
The 4 squares that brings me back to my main portfolio section of my site works fine, but just not the top navigation.
Is there any way around this?
I appreciate your help, and thank you for making my life a whole lot easier when it comes to working with wordpress!
Cheers Eric
Hey Eric,
Try using full URLs with the anchors in them such as
“http://www.mydomain.co/#anchor” instead of just ”#anchor” in your menu items

Hi there, Lovely theme.
But how can I remove the header section as a sticky header? I want it to appear at the top ony and not float down?
Thanks,
Brian
Hey Brian,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
#header-outer {
position: absolute!important;
}
}
Cheers
Thanks!
You’re welcome
Hi, I wanted to know please how can i make a video in the nectar slider stop without looping? i have a short logo video that i want to show just once and than stop at the end for it. Thanks Sharon
Hey Sharon,
unfortunately you can’t easily accomplish this without some custom development at this time but the item is on the wishlist
Cheers
Ello!
I’m trying to make a fullwidth gallery HERE. But there seems to be some unwanted padding/margin on the left and it’s pushing the gallery right. Any suggestion?
Thanks, Ace
Hey Ace,
Change the row type to in container and then ensure that the full width display is selected on the gallery
Cheers!
Hi. Two questions for you:
1. How do I change the hyperlink color to be something other than my Accent color?
2. Is there a way to add a Scroll Down Prompt to the various Project Attribute & Project Type pages?
Thank you.
Hey recapturist,
1. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
body a {
color: #000!important;
}
2. You can only do so through page header which you can only place on actual pages rather than automatically generated archives – If you’re referring to the archive pages you’d need to manually add that into the theme files for each taxonomy
Cheers
I have several simple iframes of google drive folders for my members and for some reason they no longer work .. I mean I can see the folder files on the backend when using the page builder and they also appear fine on the front end when using another theme like Twenty Fifteen but they do not show when using Salient. I even purchased a premium plugin for google to embed drive content but still no files on the front end.
Can you help ?
Thanks!
Hey,
Could you kindly share a page URL that shows the problem?
Cheers
Hi,
I while ago i asked how to add products to the home page and i used to have a woocommerce shortcode but i cant seem to find it anymore.
I also tried adding: [recent_products per_page=”12” columns=”4”] but the layout breaks
is there a solution for this? I couldnt find anything in the comments that worked.
Thank you
Nevermind I found on the new version you guys added a visual composer shortcode – thank you
Hey – glad you found the answer
Cheers
Hello,
Is there a way to add a class to the header image? I want to use an svg for the logo but I need it to have a drop-shadow. SVG support plugin is activated, but it only works on svg’s added as an image to a page. I can’t get it to work on the header image.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Hey eyedi,
Are you referring to adding a class specifically to the logo image or a page header image you may have set?
Cheers
To the logo image
You’d need to edit the header.php file in regards to accomplish this then – the changes could also be kept in a child theme to make it persist through theme updates
Thanks, any chance of some small assistance on this? This is the style I’m after for the logo :
.style-svg { -webkit-filter: drop-shadow( 0px 0px -1px rgba(0,0,0,0.8)); filter: drop-shadow( 0px 0px -1px rgba(0,0,0,0.8)); }
But I’m not sure what to adjust in the header.php and how to use the child-theme..
Hello,
So i just bought your theme, but it is only WordPress!? I hate wordpress and i can’t find out how to make anything with it, i normally use raw html coding, and that is what i prefer. So how do i get all the HTML/CSS etc. like the demo site? Can you please be kind and send the raw code files (HTML etc.), so i can continue my work, or else i want 100% refund! There were no place saying “Only wordpress, no HTML…”. Thanks
Hey zzmrmartinzz,
Unfortunately there is no HTML files to send – if you look on the main theme description page and search for “ThemeForest Files Included” you’ll see that html is not on the list. I am not personally in charge of refunds but you can try writing to Envato directly in regards
Cheers
My url is: dynamicexplainers.com
I have a video which I uploaded on wistia. How can I make the video pop-up when I click on the “Learn About Us” button?
Hey,
If you had a direct video link for the video and added this to the end of your URL “?iframe=true&width=1000&height=600” while giving the anchor a class of “pp” it would be possible – however to get that control over a button in the nectar slider would require adding it into the caption field itself
Cheers
What about this? <iframe src=”//fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/gtnpsgep9h” allowtransparency=”true” frameborder=”0” scrolling=”no” class=”wistia_embed” name=”wistia_embed” allowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen width=”640” height=”360”></iframe><script src=”//fast.wistia.net/assets/external/E-v1.js” async></script>
How can I add code?
Try just doing:
<a href="http://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/gtnpsgep9h?iframe=true&width=1000&height=600" class="pp nectar-button large extra-color-2 regular-button" data-color-override="false"> Button Text </a>
Hi,
are there any plans to add a full youtube video background option in the future?
Hey – that item is indeed on the wishlist
Hi,
How do I add HTML to the map pins, so that the message that appears on a click can be formatted into lists or include links? I can get basic single-line stuff like to work but
or seem to cause problems.
Alternately, if this can NOT be done, can I make the text appear on a mouse-over and then make a click as a link?
Thanks!
Hey,
Unfortunately both of these options would take some custom development with the map VC element at this time – you could always check out envato studio in regards though
Cheers
Hi
Is there a demo copy of your ascend demo? There is a ascend demo in the file it came with but when I import it, it doesn’t look like the one on your demo.
Thanks!
After you import the pages also import the theme options in the import/export tab of your Salient options panel
Hi My contact forms are not working. It says the email has been sent, but nothing is coming through. I have tried installing a different contact form, and reinstalling the old one, but nothing is working.
I have called my web hosting people and they said it’s something to do with my website. Can you please advise? I have currently changed the contact page so people can see my email address, so ok for now, but I need this sorting in the long run, as I am potentially loosing business.
Thanks
The forms have been working fine before 
Hey,
It’s unlikely the theme you’re using itself would effect this – have you tried changing themes to verify that it’s only happening with Salient?
Cheers
Hi There,
I’m sorry if this has recently been addressed (couldn’t find it in the comments). I bought the latest Salient theme (awesome by the way) and also have the latest version of VC as a separated plugin.
1) Is there any way for me to use that without conflict and if so how? 2) If I disable the built in VC and use the full plugin will I be able to check to see if there are errors and switch back? 3) How do I disable the custom built in VC (or reactivate it)?
Thanks! And again, sorry if this has been addressed already.
Cheers James
Hey James,
There’s an option in the general settings tab of the theme options panel to deactivate it. After you do that if you’re running into any problems with the standalone try renaming the wpbakery folder to something else which is located in your theme directory
Cheers
Happy Friday,
Is there an easy way to change the “burger” icon for another icon or text on the header’s slide-out widget?
Thanks
Hey! This would require modding the header.php file located in the theme directory.
THis was a suyper simple fix. In the header.php- simply change “lines” to another icon name. List here http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/cheatsheet/
I posted this because it may help other Salient users.
Hey – thanks for posting the link
