I’m planing to move a site from an unsupported theme into salient, but I work with image galleries withing posts, add other elements such as videos and embedded audio.
Is it possible to accomplish with this theme?
This is a hard coded image grid I made using the theme elements and would love to update it. http://www.anizeen.com/anime-wisdom/2015-winter/winter-anime-season-2015/This one is a single review, would also love to make something similar.

Hey myuption,
You could use the masonry portfolio in regards but that would require using an actual portfolio element (with projects created in a post type). There is a gallery element you can have a grid with and add images on the fly without your post but it wouldn’t be able to mix video popups as well
Cheers
Thanks, I’ll take a good look and try to work something around the html code and see if I can do what I want, thanks
You’re welcome 
I too would like to use the Revolution Slider instead of the Nectar Slider? I need to use layers to create an animation for my client. I found an earlier response from 2 years ago and wonder if it still applies.
Hey, you can use revolution slider but you’d still need to make a template file for it if you wanted a full width slider since by default it will contained in the main content area
so I have this really annoying issue, I have a one page website.
http://aptlydone.com.au/#homeIn my portfolio section where I click on the client and it takes me to that page, when I then try to go back to my menu headings it doesn’t work, and the URL ends up looking like this:
http://aptlydone.com.au/flux/#Home http://aptlydone.com.au/flux/#Services http://aptlydone.com.au/flux/#Portfolio http://aptlydone.com.au/flux/#Contacthow do i get rid of the /flux/ part so it just goes back to the original
http://aptlydone.com.au/#Home http://aptlydone.com.au/#Servicesetc.
thanks for any help!
Hey,
Have you tried to enter the full URL for your menu anchor links such as “http://aptlydone.com.au/flux/#Home” instead of just ”#home”?
Cheers
Thank you!
You’re welcome
What a clean design on this one—highly recommended theme!
Quick q…
What would you guess is throwing off the layout a bit on this page? http://www.courtrightdesign.com/portfolio/. The portfolio items are all the same width and height, but there is extra whitespace showing at the bottom of some of the pieces.
Thanks much!
Hey! Try running this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/
Hi,
After I upgraded to the latest 5.5.2 update, I lost the ability to use the page builder. The button to enter page builder mode is gone as well.
Also, I have a request! Please add an Instagram social button to add in columns throughout a page, (like the social buttons on the one-page demo).
Thank you
I found the fix for the visual composer. But please add an Instagram social button! And i’m not talking about the instagram icon in the footer section
Thank you
Hey – glad you found the VC download
Cheers
Hi guys,
I love your theme! But after update 5.5.2 my portfolio in masonry style is broken. The first 12 portfolio items are ok, but the infinite scrolling doesn’t work. It looks like there is something loading, but the items doesn’t appear – only empty space or rather invisible items. Strange: The links to the portfolio items are still working. What can I do? My second question: The portfolio filter doesn’t show all portfolio categories, 2 are missing. Why? Is there a limit?
Best regards Christina
Hey!
1. This will be sorted in the bug fix coming out today
2. The filters shown are only the ones that exist for the current set of items being displayed – if you’re using infinite scroll they will probably appear as more items are loaded
Cheers
Hi,
I want to have my pages or background images shown full size (or full height) on desktop monitor. I don’t want any cropping at the bottom of the images. or shrink all the content so it display in full. I don’t care about showing black empty space on the left and right side. Is there a way to do that? Thank you. Warning horror movie production website. Here is my url http://kisswithoutlipsproductions.com/
Hey – add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.wpb_row .row-bg, .full-width-section .row-bg {
background-size: contain!important;
-moz-background-size: cover!important;
-webkit-background-size: contain!important;
Hi Thanks, but it only work on my bg image for who page. The bg video on home page is still showing full width same with the writting pictures page. Any more solutions? Thank you very much~
The css snippet above will only work for BG images – changing the way a BG video scales would require javascript modding unfortunately
Hi Nectar,
Awesome theme!
How do I get rid of the little heart-symbols below the thumbnails in the portfolio? And I want also know how I can change the word “ALL” in the sortable text on the portfolio-page?
Kind regards, Marco Goedhart
Hey Marco,
1. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.portfolio-items .nectar-love-wrap {
display: none!important;
}
2. You can use the .po file with a plugin like this to translate it https://wordpress.org/plugins/codestyling-localization/
I’m looking for a solution to translate the word “All” in the portfolio filters into my own language. Can this be done by changing a codeline somewhere? Thanks for your quick response.
Hey pixelblitzer,
You can use the .po file with a plugin like this to translate it https://wordpress.org/plugins/codestyling-localization/

Hi Nectar,
I am very excited to test the 5.5.2 Update – but I have just a couple of questions. My current veriosn is 5.0 and I have made some code changes with the help of your perfect support:
1.) Has the map.js file been updated or is it the same as in Version 5.0?
2.) Have you updated the single-portfolio.php or is it the same as in Version 5.0?
3.) Have you updated the init.js or is it the same as in Version 5.0?
4.) Is it safe to backup the salient folder before deleting and then upgrading the folder via ftp with the new version – and if the Update doesn’t work properly to delete the folder again and to upload the backup? What about possible database errors? And yes, I will backup the whole server, but I can’t start a rollback during the night, because the server is hosted by others. (maybe it sounds a bit complicated, but I hope you understand …)
Thanks for your reply!
Cheers, Markus
Hi again,
I’ve forgotten to ask, whether the (now in Version 5.5.2) installed VC Plugin is visible in the Admin Plugin Section and has there to be deinstalled if I have to rollback to Version 5.0?
Hey,
1. The map file is the same
2. It got updates
3. It received significant updates
4. Yes that’s a correct way to backup the old version of the theme. Once you update you’ll need to activate the VC plugin now though – if you don’t do that you’ll lose the page builder since it was separated from the theme due to ThemeForest guidelines
Hello there!
To start with: Salient is a great theme!
And one of the reasons I bought it is the beautiful way to present blog items on a (home)page. I mean the four column grid style with highlighted images. See here:
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/home-basic/But what ever I try in my site. I’m not able to reproduce the demo page above for blog items. Portfolio options works fine. Is it a short code thing? A Visual composer option? Please help me out 
Tnx, Alex
Hey Alex!
Those are projects from the portfolio – you can only get that display by using the recent projects element
Cheers
Is it possible to hide a singular column in a row using “mobile-hidden” on the column ID with the
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) { .mobile-hidden { display: none; } } @media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) { .desktop-hidden { display: none; } }css code?
In order to work around this, I have been doing 2 rows per page- one specific to mobile and one specific to desktops(1Kpx+). I was just hoping there was a quicker way
Hey clixgroup,
The latest VC has options for the mobile view of your columns
Cheers
Will it interfere with any of the inline code set up from the previous version?
Are you referring to css you have in your custom css box located in your Salient Options panel? It shouldn’t if that’s the case
Quick question. For my nectar slider video, should I use SD , HD, or web video? Will I have any problems with the page loading slowly or anything if I upload the 1920×1080 version, or would you suggest a smaller file size here?
Hey – I used full HD videos for the demo, the slider doesn’t need to wait for the videos to load completely to start showing them. They will buffer as they play so just try and keep the file size under 30mb for constant playback
Thank you:)
Cheers!
There’s an issue with the responsive resizing of the home slider. On mobile and small screens a little black gap of about 5-10 pixels appears at the bottom. You can clearly see it on the left window in the picture below.
By the way: I did notice this little weird thing in the css, that is activated for screens <1000pixels, which might be related:
article top: -7px;
FYI: I just put the theme on a fresh WP install, so did not change any code yet.
Could you please fix this in the next bugfix release?
Hey pyramus99, could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
I don’t have a url. just made a local mamp install, with fresh wp and themenectar files. so it’s fairly easy to recreate this issue
Hey again – unfortunately I haven’t been able to replicate locally when testing, it’s possible that different options you have set in the theme options panel are effecting it which is why It’d be easier to see. Could you kindly let me know if it occurs with default theme settings?
Cheers
yes, i actually didn’t change anything in the settings at all. installed fresh wp 4.1.1 > fresh theme 5.5.2 > created 1 page with the “home-slider-only” template >> put in 2 slides (pictures) in home slider, without caption or buttons
PROBLEM! WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?!!! once i downloaded your update Salient 5.5.2 i lost the visual composer information/data on EVERY SINGLE PAGE!!! now it just shows code! this is ridiculous im losing business and money because of this!!! fix it ASAP!!!!
maijintheartist, please don’t curse in the comments unnecessarily – there’s a readme file in the new download folder that states: “Salient v5.5 has separated Visual Composer into a plugin and is no longer automatically built in – this means when you activate the theme you’ll have to still install the Visual Composer plugin via the admin panel. It is included still with the theme and no purchase is necessary, just head to the plugins section of your admin panel to install & activate.”
MY BLOG POSTS ARENT SHOWING!!! i added the js composer plugin in the new update file. but the blog feeds arent showing! i refresh the salient theme options and still doesnt work!
Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look since this isn’t a known issue
see link: http://bit.ly/1wuHqnj
Hey again, I can see your posts displaying – I checked in Firefox, Chrome and IE. Have you tried clearing your cache since updating?
yes i cleared my cache. now its working. i posted another problem i have so please address it http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/4363266/comments?page=567&filter=all#comment_9287097
Will do
Hey guys some more bugs from my team..
When loading Ascend dummy content, the portfolio style3 and fullwidth do not work and contain ‘Notice: Trying to get property of non-object.. / Notice: undefined index.. (with WP debugging enabled but it does not work with it disabled either)
Also I encourage you guys to enable WP debugging and checkout imported demo content pages: blog-masonry-fullwidth, portfolio extended weather app example in Ascend. Also the search function is looking very odd. It seems there is still something wrong with VC integration.
UPDATE 1: new error when editing dummy content -> home landingpage -> changing text column with buttons -> Notice: Undefined index: i_font_subset in /wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/options/fonts.php on line 968
UPDATE 2: If you click on any of the four ‘click here to assign a widget to this area’ in footer, the whole lay-out in frontend breaks. A browser refresh solves it.
We will keep you posted, we are working also heavily on the theme and discovering a fair amount of bugs.
Hey – I can’t seem to replicate the Undefined index: i_font_subset issue, could you explain a little further how to end up with it?
Hi ThemeNectar,
Thanks for the great theme! We’ve got a probleem with anchorlinks, within the menu. The anchorlinks work great on all pages, except the home-page. Only on the home-page disappears the ‘slug’ in the anchorlink.
Example: href=”/page/#anchorlink” turns only on the home-page into href=”#anchorlink”
Even setting another page as home-page, or making the anchorlink an absolute url doesn’t solve the problem.
Are you familiar with this issue? Or do you have a work around? Thanks in advance!
Hey,
This should be sorted in the current release
Cheers
My footer isn’t displaying the 4 widgets I placed in there when customers (not logged in) are viewing my site. Also, my product images are being cropped instead of scaled to fit the grid when viewing the products in categories. Can someone please help me?

Hey,
1. I can currently see the widgets displaying – which ones are missing on your end when logged out?
2. Try to run this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/
I get a blank white screen when activating VC. Update has broken layout on several pages as well resulting in downtime as I now have to put my site in maintenance mode. My website is my livelyhood.
Hey dessington,
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
Not to worry I have moved to another theme as I can’t afford the downtime this update has caused.
I was really enjoying the theme but it’s a pity you didn’t test the update properly before releasing it.
There is no confirmed white screen issue with any of the 5.5+ versions – if you ever switch back I’d be glad to take a further look though.
Cheers
Hi! Since the update 5.5.2, it’s impossible to find visual composer or classical one on a portfolio item for extra content. The same for other pages, no VC
It seems I’m not the only one with the problem Thanks for the great theme and for sure for fixing
I found there a message about installing VC plugin and i installed it. it’s ok now! great
Hey – glad you found it
