Hi,
Suddenly there is a problem with the theme:
http://gyazo.com/f387a79b78f017674be7851417008fc4when I try to convert nothing happends?
Hey – you may have added some unintended HTML in that page – have you tried to switch into the text tab and remove any outside of the VC shortcodes?
Hi,
When are you planning on updating Visual Composer?
Hey, in the upcoming update.
Cheers
Hi,
Great theme, I have one question.
Before buying I would like to know. Is it possible to every image on the slider has its own sound, different? This option was really needed.
If you have this option in the slider, that would be great.
Thank you in advance. 
Hey,
As of now the video backgrounds as not really meant to use sound but the idea is on the wishlist to add a control for it
Cheers
Hey, it would be really great! I still have not seen anyone do that before.
For example: pic1-sound1.mp3, pic2-sound2.mp3 …etc. Also, there is a switch sound on-off, which can be positioned anywhere on the site, main menu, footer etc …
I hope that in the future be allowed.
Thank you for your reply,
Cheers!
Hey thanks for the additional info on the request

Question on portfolios.. Say I wanted to link to a specific Portfolio category filter from a different page, but by default, the portfolio is set to display “All”. is there a way to trigger the data/category filter via a link or URL?
Hey – as of now there’s no option to do that but you can set a different starting filter from the VC element
Ah alright. I’ll have to come up with a different solution then. Thanks for the quick reply. I’m sure all users of this theme appreciate the support given in this comments section as well as we do!
You’re welcome – i’ve noted your +1 for the idea as well
Hi,
A pre-sale question: Is there an option to watermark my portfolio images within Salient?
Thanks, Wizard247
Hey Wizard247 unfortunately not, that would require a plugin as of now
That’s OK – I’ve found a plugin called Easy Watermark which looks like it might do what I need. Thank you.
Cheers
I am looking at your theme and considering purchasing it. I noticed that it has a customized Visual Composer. I have experience with VC and really require it with my limited code skills. Can you tell me what features or buttons have been cut from your version. Also can you explain the advantages of your custom version. Thanks!
Hey chadrogez,
You can see all the available elements here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4mt0lOJ888 – there are custom elements that have been added along with a revised UI design
Cheers
Hi,
I require a comment disable on Portfolio pages. I don’t want comment on it. Please suggest for that. I also want my there header to be scroll with the page and not fixed. Please suggest for that as well.
Thanks
Hey Learner-10,
1. There’s an option in every project to enable or disable comments
2. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
#header-outer {
position: absolute!important;
}
Hi,
I’m wondering if it is possible to make an image show up for the button background on hover instead of a color. Is there a simple custom css code that can accomplish this?
Cheers! Andrew
Hey Andrew,
Add a class to your column holding the button such as “custom-button-bg” and then add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.custom-button-bg .nectar-button:hover {
background-image:url('your-img.png')!important;
}
Cheers
Hello there!
I have a question I can´t get solved. I use Nectar sliders for my portfolio page. The images I use are 1275×850. The slider height is set at 850. All looks great on my desktop. On my tablet however the images aren´t scaling properly. Resulting in images that are too big for a tablet screen (to see the entire image you need to scroll down) . I did use the flexible slider height and minimum slider height options. This doesn´t make any difference, no matter what number I type in that box. What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance!
Hey! Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look
that would be www.jeroenfortgens.nl ….still under construction though
? where did my reply go? again…the url: http://www.jeroenfortgens.nl/
sorry for the double posts 
I thought something was wrong…guess not
Hey again – i’m seeing that you have the fullscreen option turned on which overrides the flexible height option. Please uncheck the box for that
I am not sure which fullscreen option you mean. I have now turned off the Full Width Portfolio Item Layout (for the first portfolio item). But this gives me social media buttons and page attributes on the right. Making the width of the displayed images even smaller. The images are now completely out of proportion (almost squared) and on mobile devices there is still no scaling. My aim for this photography site is to get the images on my portfolio page to display as large as possible. On my 28” screen there is now a relatively small image in the middle with a lot of background showing.
I was referring to the fullscreen option in the slider element itself – could you kindly open a ticket in regards so with your admin credentials so I can take a look?
Cheers
Hello, could somebody take a look at ticket #374367? It feels like I am going in circles and I would really like to get going with my site.Thanks a lot!
Hey – will do as soon as I can
any thoughts on ticket #374367 yet? Tahir and I seem to be stuck.
Hey – sorry for the delay, I haven’t been able to hit the forum in full force the past couple days due to putting the final touches on the upcoming update
Ok I understand….the problem has not been solved yet but I´ll be patient . Just let me know if you find anything. Thanks!
Thanks for your patience!
Hey! I just updated the theme and installed the VC plugin. Tahir thought that this new update would solve the auto resizing problem on smaller screens but it didn’t. From another comment here I understand I am not the only one. Would now be a good time to take a look at my site? I would really appreciate your help.
Hello! Ticket #374367 is still open. Even after installing 5.5.2. I still don´t get the auto resizing to work on mobile devices. Thank you for your answer!
Hey – taking a look now
thnx
I have answered your question on my open ticket @ ThemeNectar. Please let me know if there is a solution. If not I will have to look into another theme that is more suited for photography portfolios.
Checking back now
Tried and answered….
Hi there. We have been going over this resizing problem for quite some time now and although there seems to be a solution for the ipad (can´t check..don´t have one) it is never going to be a default setting for all mobile devices. The theme works great if images are not your core business but as a photographer I need all of my images to be displayed correctly on all devices. It just doesn´t make sense that in order to view the entire image you need to scroll up and down. The only thing that works (half) is a normal gallery with the option PrettyPhoto. But this is not what I was looking for. There are other themes that do the job just fine. That is why I kindly ask you for a refund through Envato. I thank you for your understanding and of course for all your kind help!
Woocommerce stripe checkout is now messed up. Background color is different than the rest of the page
https://elusiveenterprises.com/checkout/Thanks for noting – add this into your custom css box located in your Salient Options panel in the meantime:
.woocommerce-checkout #payment div.payment_box {
background-color: transparent!important;
}
Thanks!
You’re welcome
Hello,
We are having a few problems configuring the images on the nectar Slider so they appear correctly on mobile devices. We have checked the aspect ratio of the images and adjusted them accordingly.
However they still don’t appear correctly.
Please could you advise as to how this problem can be fixed.
Thanking you in advance,
Hey javalounge,
Please share your URL in regards so I can check what’s going on
Cheers
Hi,
The url is: www.javaloungecoffee.com
Thanks
Hey again – could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a further look?
Cheers
Hi, I ran into a weird problem. I’ve been using Salient for around a year now, great theme. Last night I changed the settings from full width to the boxed layout. Now, in Google Chrome browsers, the second header moves over to the right by about 10 pixels once the page loads. I haven’t tried all browsers yet but IE displays the page correctly. Any thoughts on how to fix this? www.guard-all.com
Thanks!
Hey canook,
Try adding this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
body {
padding-right: 16px!important;
}
Cheers
Hello!
I was hoping this was something you could assist with.
I would love to be able to set rows to be full browser height as well as width. At the moment I’m using guess work by adding padding top and bottom percentages but this doesn’t work on smaller screen sizes.
So for example if I had a column of text, this would be vertically aligned in a row that sits neatly between the top and bottom of the screen size.
Is this a possibility, if so, can it you help?
Thanks in advance!
Joe
Hey Joe,
As of now that’s not possible (would take custom javascript) but i’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist
Cheers
I’m trying to add tripadvisor icon to secondary navigation, adding this line to the code of header.php:
<?php if(!empty($options['use-tripadvisor-icon-header']) && $options['use-tripadvisor-icon-header'] == 1) { ?> <li><a target="_blank" href="<?php echo $options['tripadvisor-url']; ?>"><i class="icon-tripadvisor" /> </a></li> <?php } ?>
No tripadvisor icon available in admin panel though, so I’m asking for a little more help!
thanks in advance!
Hey Joe_e_Basta,
Change the code to just be:
Cheers
I did not undesrtand where to put this code sorry. I’m not a coder, maY U explain better to me?
Sorry – the comment got messed up, I meant to write this:
<li><a target="_blank" href="<?php echo $options['tripadvisor-url']; ?>"><i class="icon-tripadvisor" /> </a></li>
well. this don’t change my previous answer. I am not a coder, so, I need U to be more descriptive. Where should I put the code U wrote?
Hey again,
I was modifying the same code you initially posted to make it so it would display without having to code a theme option for it – if you wanted an actual option to appear you’d need to add it into the nectar/options/options-init.php file. If you don’t mind not having that just add the code into the header.php file in the social unordered list
Cheers
Ok, it’s not working, or I’m not able to make it working, I’m not so confortable with code. Thanks anyway.
Hey,
Are you also providing an icon for that list item? You could use an image tag inside of it as well if you don’t have one to enqueue with css
Cheers
Well man, I’m aware U got tons of questions to answer about salient, but answering with a question is not the best way to resolve this thread. I think I have explained my isssue quite clearly: i) I am not a coder ii) I have no idea on how to show a TripAdvisor icon beside other social icons on SECONDARY TOP NAV. iii) May someone explain me in a very plain and detailed way ho to do it? iv) I AM NOT A CODER. thanks in advance.
Since you’re not going to be adding an icon through css you’ll need to use an image tag. Here’s the revised code with that:
http://pastebin.com/masVV99iReplace the YOUR-URL-HERE and YOUR-IMG-SRC-HERE entries will your relevant data.
Are you kidding me? where should I put this code? I get this code from you in my mail:
and this code in paste bin you linked above:
Assuming I have to add the second one should I add a line to header.php unordered social list?
is this correct?: http://pastebin.com/ftirtkKGthis is what i got in mail: http://pastebin.com/qUEPrcJS
get it over with this unuseful thread. I don’t need help anymore. thanks anyway.
Is it also possible to only update to 5.01 instead of overwriting everything? Do you have a list of the changed files only somewhere?
Due to customization I prefer not to overwrite everything..
Thank you
Hey dzineee,
It was all changes in the woocommerce directory within the theme – if you updated it shouldn’t remove any of your changes unless you modified the files directly in the parent theme
Cheers
Hey love the theme. I have 2 questions. 1. how can I put a youtube video as my header instead of a image? 2. How can I put a opt-in box in the theme does that have to be custom? sorry for the beginners questions.
Hey,
1. Currently there’s no option to have a youtube embed as a header unless you used a full width content row with the video inside of it
2. You’d need to use a plugin in regards as there’s no opt in functionality built in
Cheers
Hi,
Love the theme! Quick question. When I post something to the blog, it shows “By author | The date | Blog | Comments” below the header title. Is there a way to disable all that meta info all together?
Thanks,
Joe
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.meta-author, .meta-date, .meta-category, .meta-comment-count {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
You guys are awesome
You’re welcome
Hey! I see others are having issues with the new update, so I’ll hold off on it tell its stable. Curious we are using the eCommerce home page layout, and some reason the products display the pricing underneath and we’d prefer it be the text item like your demo, how do we go about changing this?
Also for the four product photos for categories (See in top part of screen shot) how do we get data to align in center of photo to be a photo link direct to a category, currently we set them up as “Team Members” as we couldn’t find another solution.
Preview: http://i58.tinypic.com/2mctu14.png
Thank you!
Solved my first question in regards to the pricing showing under the Product Shortcode (Activated Add to Cart Text on Hover), however still can’t figure out how to resolve the second questions. Thank you for your help in advance
Hey,
Could you kindly share your URL in regards? The image gallery offers the portfolio styles so if you choose the Title overlaid w/ zoom effect on hover it should already work in that way
Cheers
The second button on my nectar/home slider is out of alignment with the Caption and the first button. The second button starts a little to the right of the first button. How can I fix this?
Hey,
Please share your URL in regards
Cheers
Keep em coming guys, a wonderful theme that can get even richer with features and elements!
—> My question: how can i choose and customize each “Toggles” bar’s color? I found options where I can modify the colors when they are opened up, but I’d like to have them colored when closed, to attract viewers’ attention (they’re simply grey until you click on them).
Thanks!
Hey synap6! Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.toggle h3 a {
background-color: #000!important;
color: #fff!important;
}
Cheers
