Hi, I am using Salient and try to put a disactivated button. I have 3 columns and each column has a button. I want a disactivated button for the third one because the functionnality will be implemented later in 2015. How can I put a button you can’t click and with transparency to show that the button is not activated . Thanks a lot !!
Hey! Give your column a specific class such as “deactivate-button” and then add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.deactivate-button .nectar-button {
position: relative;
z-index: -1;
}
Hi, The video on the portfolio is not working. I added a self-hosted video and an embedded video from youtube.
When I add a video, the lightbox will open but it will not display a video. It will show an error page: Sorry, but the page you are looking for has not been found.
Hey sipepdesign, could you kindly allow me to see a URL in regards to assist?
Here’s the link: http://www.sipepdesign.com/our-work/ The video is on the first item.
Hey again,
Could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on

Hey. Ive gone through the comments for social buttons not showing up but I am having this issue now with version 5 when I have a side bar on the single product page.
Also without the side bar the social buttons were slightly misaligned and covered by my category and tag links.
Unfortunately I am working on a local server so I cant show you my error.
Any ideas?
Sorry I have just realised I am still on 4.9… Let me update and I will post back.
No its still the same. Also the product title gets squashed to 2 lines with maybe too much padding from the right?
Hey – could you provide a screenshot so I can take a peek?
Cheers
Hey I just realised and disabled my collapsing categories plugin and its back :/
Would be lovely to have collapsing categories as I have over 80 cats and 800 products 
Sorry to have wasted your time. I wonder why its doing that??
Hey – i’ve added your +1 onto the wishlist for that item but as of now that wouldn’t be possible without some custom development. It’s hard to say why your plugin would’ve caused that conflict – have you tried to contact the developer in regards
Thats great I didn’t contact the developer as it hadn’t been updated for a while and I had to hack the plugin to get it to show the right post count. so i am reverting to just the standard category widget.
On another note is it too much trouble to rename the portfolio slug to something else more relevant to my project? I want to feature artists but team member element is not quite as good for this as the portfolio.
Thanks for your time
Derrrrrr. I just found the Custom Slug section! Thank you for thinking of this great feature!
Hey – glad you sorted it
Is there any way to know for sure what elements are which on the demo page? There’s a page that’s here http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266 where I’d like to know what the team members are…is it a portfolio, or animated image or something else? If I could know what each element is so I can try and recreate it that would be great. Thanks.
sorry that page isn’t the right one.
It’s on the Pages menu and then About Us
Hey,
It’s the team member element used with the alternative style available inside the VC element options – each team member is placed in a separate column which is sitting inside of a full width content row
Cheers
I get the Team Member element but not sure what the alternative style is… Also, what’s the VC element options. Is that the Visual Composer. Sorry, fairly new with this. Thanks.
Hey,
The alt style would be the “Meta overlaid” in the Team member style select – and yes, the options for the team element can be accessed by clicking the pencil edit icon on your team member element in VC
Cheers
I am trying to style the buttons on the nectar slider. I want to add a white border with rounded corners. I cant seem to figure out how to do this. Any help would be great. Thank you
I ended up creating an image, using shortcodes in the caption, and html link to achieve this
Hey – glad you figured out a solution
As I mentioned the above works great for 1 image, however I am trying to put the second image inline/ beside it, but it seems to always go under it? There appears to be enough space for it to fit beside each other, I have tried forcing it by using html tables and columns, but they always seem to appear below each other. Any help would be great. Thank you
Could you kindly share a URL in regards?

Try adding this into the custom css box:
.swiper-slide .img-with-aniamtion-wrap {
float:left!important;
margin: 10px!important;
}
Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately what that appears to have done is put the heading and caption on 1 line. I am hoping to have the heading still above the caption, but with the caption ‘button’ images side-by-side. Thank you
Hey – change the snippet to this:
.swiper-slide .content > .img-with-aniamtion-wrap, .swiper-slide a[href="#contactus"] .img-with-aniamtion-wrap {
display: inline-block;
float: left !important;
margin: 59px !important;
}
That worked perfectly. I changed the float to center and its exactly what I wanted. Thank you very much for the speedy support
Cheers
Hi, I am trying to make my font Georgia italic in the sidebar of my blog, can you tell me the custom CSS to do this? (i only want the sidebar body text to appear in italic)?
Also is it possible to have the blog post titles centred and the date centred underneath this instead of being at the side? (i am using the standard template with sidebar)?
Thank you
Hey atchloe,
1. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
#sidebar {
font-family: georgia;
font-style: italic;
}
2. Unfortunately this would also require file modding to change the order of the meta data in the includes/post-templates directory
Cheers
Thank you also is there a way to reduce the space between widgets on the sidebar? there seems to be a really big gap between them all?
Hey, add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
#sidebar > div {
margin-bottom: 20px!important;
}
Cheers
Hello,
What version of Visual Composer is included in the theme?
Thanks
Hey ThorBorn, the VC built in was forked at 3.7.3 and updated throughout the time since its release – however the upcoming update will be updating the actual version to fall in line with the current release
Thanks for the reply!
When do you think the next update will be released?
As i am having quite a few issues with compatability issues with Add-Ons for Virtual Composer and such. Seems a few users are reporting this issue too.
Also, is the theme compatible with the new WooCommerce update?
Other than that the theme is very good and fairly slick. Great job!
Hey again,
1. 1-2 weeks
2. 5.0.1 was jus released to add compatibility for it
Cheers
Hello, When Salient responds to a mobile view, the mobile navigation menu becomes the standard mobile menu icon. Can you please tell me how I might change that to the actual word “Menu” instead of the icon? Thank You very much.
Hey – you’d need to edit the header.php file in regards at this line:
<i class="icon-reorder" />Cheers
Hello
Is it possible to remove text animation on a specific slide with the nectar slider?
I’d like to keep the Heading and Caption static in the same place, after the first animation has appeared. So the background changes but the text stays in place?
Eg: http://joneley.com/?page_id=1273
So to stop the continuous animation of text after the fist slide but keep in place.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance
Hey, as of now this would take some custom development or the use of css. You could add a class onto all the slides but the first one such as “static-content” and then add this into the custom css box:
.static-content * {
opacity: 1!important;
padding-top: 0!Important;
}
Hey
Thank you for your response.
I’ve added the class “static-content” onto all the slides bar the first and then added the suggested code into the custom css box.
I’m still getting animation on the text http://joneley.com/?page_id=1273
Any ideas why I’m still getting that?
Thanks in advanced
Hey – i’m not seeing that snippet making its way to the front. Did you accidentally copy the pre tags as well?
Hey – that was it!
Apologies I still had the pre tags in
Thanks
Glad you sorted it
I cannot figure out how to get the portfolio sub-categories to display in the sort in the portfolio. As example I have Paintings, Collages, Paper, etc. set as Categories. I have individual bodies of work eg. Horizon Series which consists of several different paintings set up in a slide show. I would like for Horizon Series to display in the portfolio menu under Paintings. I’m currently using the horizontal display but could switch to the pull down if necessary.
Hey asparrow,
could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a peek?
Cheers
Love the theme! I have it on one of my bigger sites, however I have more of a feature request or maybe you can point me in the right direction.
I am really looking for an instagram fed gallery (multiple galleries all using different instagram tags), I have a plugin currently that the coder customized to make it work, however it doesn’t fit the site quite as well as I had hoped. Is there a plugin that you know of that will fit into this theme? Or maybe a future feature that could be added?
Thanks! Tim
Hey Tim,
Unfortunately I don’t have a plugin to recommend in regards but I’ll note the idea for the wishlist
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar,
Lovely theme.
I have some pre sales questions:
1. My client wants a home page with a masonry like the one in your Portfolio Eye Candy demo, but using that masonry as a second menu that links to the other sections of the site. Can I customize the home page to do that (using a plugin like Essential Grid)?
2. Is it possible to ad to this customized home page some sections like “recent works” or “services”?
3. Is Essential Grid plugin fully integrated with your Visual Composer page builder version?
Thanks in advance for your attention.
Vaku.
Hey Vaku,
1. Yes – you can use custom links for portfolio items by using the external link field in your project configuration section
2. Yes by using the page builder or shortcodes you can add whatever you like. However they won’t be sections inside the masonry display
3. No but the VC version will be updated in the next release
Cheers
Ok. Thanks!
You’re welcome!
Hey,

Hello, I need a sidebar navigation that shows the active page link in another color (as in the main nav). At the moment I have an individual menu in the sidebar, but it doesnt change color of the active page.
is this possible? Thanks!

Hi, Can I install the theme on my local PC and finish building the site, then transfer it to a web host (like bluehost)? Will any changes I made to the theme on a local PC be easily transferred to future hosting site? Thanks!
Hey sunnydream,
Yes – the process will be the same as any other theme though: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-move-wordpress-from-local-server-to-live-site/

Hi I appreciate your help… I have finally set up my portfolio as a masonry grid . When I hover over an image I used the overlaid w/zoom effect and I love it except I am not sure how i can change the gray tone. Is there a way to remove the gray opacity ?
Cheers N
Hey ninamukar,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.portfolio-items .col .work-item.style-3 .work-info-bg {
opacity: 0!important;
}

Hi, I am developing a site for my client.
Here are some of the basic requirements for the site: - multipage, - multievent, - carousel slider for posts/pages, categories, images, media (videos, maybe audio…), enabled for multiple instances, - WooCommerce 2.2.x compatible, - event management built in (events, sessions, speakers) or compatible with major event management plugins (like Event Calendar, Event espresso, EventBrite, etc.), etc.
Here are the mockups for the site (Google Drive folder with pdfs) to help you get an general overview: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-2jJDax021PfnozYkdFVGpERHV5WEtFZnlydWxtV1ExcWs2WGdiRGZuZHZmczd1WWhhOEU&usp=sharingHere are links to the themes mentioned in the pdfs:
Benevolence http://themes.wplook.com/?themename=benevolence Tyler http://www.showthemes.com/tyler-demo/ Fudge http://www.showthemes.com/conference-wordpress-theme-fudgeIs the site, as described in the requirements and the mockups, doable within the standard features of this theme (shortcodes, hooks, etc.)? If not, which features are included as standard features of the theme, and which ones are possible with some customizations (customizations in which sense)?
Alternatively, which one of your other themes is the best match with these requirements, with little or no customizations?
Thanks!
Hey,
multipage, – multievent
—Yes you can use multiple pages, but there’s no event management built in
carousel slider for posts/pages, categories, images, media (videos, maybe audio…), enabled for multiple instances
—There’s a carousel element but there’s no option to automatically populate posts and pages in it
WooCommerce 2.2.x compatible
—Yes
event management built in (events, sessions, speakers) or compatible with major event management plugins (like Event Calendar, Event espresso, EventBrite, etc.)
—Even Calendar should work normally
Cheers
Hi Nectar !
I search on those comments, but i didn’t find what i need. I’m looking for how could i know who is sharing my page from my portfolio. Because i see 8 to the count of Facebook. But i’d like to know how is it.
Is there an extension for it ? A tracking thing to put in the code ?
Thanks so much guys.
Ad
Hey Ad!
This isn’t really a question directed at Salient itself – it would indeed take some custom integration or a plugin but unfortunately I don’t have one to recommend
Cheers
Is there a way to turn a nectar slider or another element into an email capture tool (like this http://www.amyporterfield.com/)? Mailchimp and others isolate their forms. Want something on top of images etc.
Hey,
You’d need to use a plugin in regards. You could then paste the HTML or shortcode into the caption field of your slide
Cheers
Hi there, Great theme!
When I deside to change the backgroundcolor of the portfolio, is it possible to change the backgroundcolor of the little text-area below the thumbnails too?
Regards Marco
Hey Marco,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
body .portfolio-items .col.elastic-portfolio-item {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
Cheers
Thanks!!
This will not work. When I do that, the overall area arround all thumbnails are chance in color. The little text-area below the thumbnails are still white. How can I chance the color of this little text-area below the thumbnails?
Hey again – could you kindly share your URL in regards?
Try adding this in:
.portfolio-items .col {
background-color: #000!important;
}
Thanks! It works! Can I change the background of the page which appears when I click on a thumbnail too? See this link: http://www.creativebase.nl/?portfolio=1709
body.single-portfolio .container-wrap {
background-color: #000!important;
}
Where should I put this code?
In the custom css box in the Salient options panel
