I want some text on one of the pages of my site to be a custom size. I tried writing HTML code to put the text in a div, but the code just shows up on the page. How can I change the text size of one bit of text on the site?
Hey – if you switch into the text tab on your editor (not visual) the html code should parse correctly 
Hello,
I wanted a sticky mobile menu and so i´ve put your code to my CSS:
@media only screen and (min-width : 1px) and (max-width : 1000px) {
body #header-space {
height: 56px!important;
display: block!important;
}
body #header-outer {
position: fixed !important;
}
#mobile-menu {
position: fixed!important;
top: 52px!important;
width: 100%!important;
}
}
But I have three problems with the mobile menu:
1) When I click on a menu item it jumps (onepagesite) not to the right section but put too high. Before I changed the CSS it was right.
2) I´ve got a lot of menu items, and i can´t scroll into the menu, when I hold my iPhone across. And I can´t klick on the last shown menu Item because the iPhone opens the safari task-bar.
3) one of my menu items is grey instead of white
Thank you!
Hey -
1. This would require javascript modding unfortunately
2. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
#mobile-menu .container > ul {
max-height: 400px;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
3. If you share your URL in regards I’d be glad to see why that is
Cheers
thank u so much, 2 and 3 are solved.
But to the the first point again (maybe I described it incorrectly):
Before I changed the nomal mobile menu to a sticky menu: Click on menu item Contact (for example) it jumped to the section contact. Perfect!
After changing into a sticky menu: when clicking on the menu item contact it jumps now to the middle of the section that is above Contact.
Sorry, but I have to ask again
Hey again!
The javascript that calculates the scroll position in the init.js file is getting messed up now that the header is fixed – it would require some modifications, have you checked out Envato Studio in regards?
No not yet.
Is there another option for a mobile menu? Perhaps from the side?
The slide out widget area will function like that but you’d need to keep your items in it on the desktop version as well
Hey ThemeNectar!
Is the latest update to the visual composer make it compatible with Templatera? Have you tested it?
This is one functionality that I have really missed.
Hey – the new VC should indeed be compatible with it
Cheers
Hi,
After I changed categories (deleted and assign new) for all my posts, I have noticed that I have lost custom css from all my posts. Is there any chance, that you can help me to restore missing code .Where can I looking for it?
I use Salient ver. 4.9
BR
Hey BR,
Have you tried asking on the VC comments in regards? If that information is still in the database they would know where to retrieve it from
Cheers
Hello Guys,
The update seems to be crashing my site (I currently run ver. 5.0). Nothing displayed properly aparat from sliders. Fragments of code were visible trhoughout the site… None of the case studies were formated properly. I had to revert back. Let me know if this is something common.
Cheers, Wojtek
Hey Wojtek,
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.
Cheers
Hi!
How do we upgrade?
I mafe “an upgrade2via FTP, but now I’ve got this error down on the Silent, general setting page:
Custom CSS:
IN the box: Fatal error, cannot continue: null is not an object (evaluating´n.getline´)
Ah! That made it. Activating the VC plugins. Used FTP and just replaced all files. Did NOT read the Readme file, so i missed that one. Next time? All is working now.
Hey – did you verify that you deleted the old version of the theme before uploading the new?
Well, when using FTP, i answered yes, to replace/merge files!
Instead of merging them, try deleting the old theme (you can make a backup) before pushing the new copy so there’s no chance of conflicts
OK. But mine problem is solved, as regard to the first reply from me. What was making the error, was probably that i did not, apply that VC plugin. After that, all went fine. Regarding deleting the old theme first. I was thinking about it, but was not sure if that would ruin my setup, of the nectar slider etc? Thanks for answering!
You’re welcome
It wouldn’t ruin the setup all of that data is stored in the database rather than the theme itself
Cheers
Now, when opening my portfolio items on the homepage- a new url no longer shows when the portfolio item opens. The url stays the same as the homepage. Do you know how this could have happened or how I can get it back to normal?
Thank you for any advice…
Hey,
Could you kindly try changing your page transition method to the standard option?
Cheers
Yes, that fixed it! Thank you.
Glad to hear
Ive been speaking to various people on your support forum about issues im having with the theme. Not had a response now since Friday! Could someone get back to me ASAP!
Hey andyenaod, please link the ticket ID so I can take a look

Hey – just responded
Hey guys, two quick questions.
1) Can I disable the page loader (spinner). I would prefer the site simply put whatever it needs to on the page without a loader. My site is going to be very minimal and light-weight so a loader just seems like a waste of half a second.
2) Is there a built in way to remove or change the nectar slider background stripes?
As a fellow author and developer I could hack my way through but was just wondering if there is an easy (update safe) alternative.
Cheers, Jesse
Hey Jesse,
1. You can turn off page transitions in the Salient options panel > page transitions tab
2. You’d need to use css to target the slider and change the BG image – it could be kept in the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel or a child theme stylesheet to be update proof though
Cheers
Hey ThemeNectar,
How are you?
I’m sorry, I ran into problems when I tried to update my site from v. 5.0 straight to v.5.5.3, and I had to revert back to v. 5.0 that I’m currently using.
The problems (with v.5.5.3) were: Only the header and footer elements on all pages loaded properly. The other elements on the pages didn’t load/show up at all (except the Nectar sliders on my ‘Portfolio’ and ‘Contact’ pages – which loaded properly. The nectar slider on my ‘Home’ page didn’t load though – I could see only its loading graphic).
This is my site: http://teemuluoma.fi (currently on Salient v. 5.0). I use the Visual Composer, and I’ve a bit custom CSS code in Salient / General Settings.
I wonder if I did something wrong when I was updating – or something. I tried to install v.5.5.3 with both FTP and WordPress (as zip). I installed the Salient Visual composer plugin after installing the theme.
I’d be reeeeeeally grateful if you could assist me a bit with this one at some point.
Have a good day and week.
Teemu
Hey Teemu!

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.
Hey,
Thank you – I see that and I installed the Visual Composer plugin after I had installed the theme (like I mentioned), but I still had the problems I mentioned above. I wonder what I might have done wrong. Any ideas?
Teemu
Hey again! Have you tried to clear your cache since the update? Is there anyway you could show me the site or a URL where the problem is present so I can take a look?
Cheers
PS – would it be possible to eg right-align the Nectar banners? In my case, the banner cuts off to the right, because it automatically centeres. But the right side of the image is most important
Hey – add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.swiper-slide {
background-position: right center !important;
}
ah ok cool! Would it also be possible to make width 100% per default?
Hey – could you kindly share your URL in regards?
www.voksenadhd.dk – the banner with the letter on it either A: Takes up full space or B: get the right-side cut off. Both look pretty bad…
Hey – change the snippet to this:
.swiper-slide {
background-position: right center !important;
background-size: contain!important;
}
I f freaking love you guys! You are awesome! It workd thanks!
Hi – I’ve used Localizer to translate my site but now only some of it in this theme is on danish and the rest is on english?
Forget this – my problem was the dates – solution = edit in locale.php
Hey – glad you sorted it
Hi TN!
Away for a couple of months and come back to amazing updates. You rock. I had a question with regard to the way my blog displays on my iPhone – the text stretches all the way to the very edge on either side, so much so that it’s almost clipped. There’s no padding at all – and from what I’ve seen on other sites, that’s not normal (right?) I’m using this bit of code that we discussed in the past – could this be the culprit? And if so (or even if not), how do I fix?
.single-post .container-wrap .container, .blog .container-wrap .container, .archive .container-wrap .container { max-width: 950px !important; }
No rush on the reply, just whenever you get a chance. Thanks so much!
Hey!
Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can see why that’s the case?
Cheers
Sorry! For some reason, I’m no longer getting email notifications when you reply. Db-gallery.com. While I’m at it, could you also tell me if there’s a way to edit thumbnails within the VC image gallery? It seems to just go for a center crop, regardless of how I edit the thumbnail in the Media section. Thanks TN!!
Hey again!
1. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
body .wpb_row .span_12 > .col.padding-3-percent, body .wpb_row .span_12 > .col.padding-4-percent, body .wpb_row .span_12 > .col.padding-5-percent {
padding: 10% !important;
}
}
2. The size used in the image gallery will be correlated with what dimensions you set in for your element e.g. 600×400 – you can also enter the word “full” for the default image size to be served
Cheers
Thank you!
1) For whatever reason, it’s not working, unfortunately. My posts still touch and slightly overlap under the edge of the screen on my iPhone.
2) Regarding the thumbs, the problem I’m running in to is that I have both vertically and horizontally-oriented pieces, and beyond that, some of them are characters with white backgrounds or border elements. As a result, many thumbnails end up looking off-center, with empty space filling one side or another, or characters being cut off in awkward places. Being able to supply a custom thumbnail would surely fix this – any chance there could be such an update down the line? And any fix in the meantime that you might think of? Thank you as always!
Hey,
1. Could you kindly share a screenshotof what you’re seeing in regards?
2. Have you also tried to use the word “full” in your size input field?
Cheers
Hey TN,
1) Here’s a pic to show you what I’m seeing. The blog view looks good, but if you enter any post, that’s where everything runs to the edges. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28713589/IMG_3206.PNG
2) Yes, but unless I’m doing it wrong, “full” generates different sized thumbnails, showing each piece in its entirety. My goal was to have uniformed thumbs (square or otherwise), and be able to crop the thumbnail in real tight as desired, to show only a small portion of the image (a close-up on the face, for example). This is easily done in the regular WP gallery, but haven’t been able to find a way to do it within VC. If it’s not possible, no problem – not that big a deal. Maybe a wish list item? As ever, thanks for your help!
Hey,
1. Your custom css is causing this:
.single-post .container-wrap .container, .blog .container-wrap .container, .archive .container-wrap .container {
max-width: 950px !important;
}
change that to:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
.single-post .container-wrap .container, .blog .container-wrap .container, .archive .container-wrap .container {
max-width: 950px !important;
}
}
2. Unfortunately this isn’t possible as of now but I have indeed marked it for the wishlist
You’re the best. Thank you!
You’re welcome
Ello! If you peak my page here and you scroll down to the image gallery and resize your window to like 1100px, the fourth image goes to another row. Anyway to fix this responsibly so they stay on one row until tablet size?
Hey – there’s a checkbox for “Constrain Max Columns to 4” inside of the VC element you can use for this
Awesome! Thank you! One other thing. The parallax bg seems to be acting a little funny. Look at the top row here. Notice you can see some white background when you scroll down.
Hey again – are you using the latest release of the theme?
yes
Have you also tried providing an image that’s a little taller?
I went from 840px to 1500px and still the same :/
Also, you can see it sort of does a white border thing on this page. Look at the top of the first left dark section.
Hey again -
1. I’m still seeing it set at 847 – could you kindly leave the 1500px in place so I can take a look?
2. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
#page-header-bg[data-parallax="1"] {
margin-top: 2px!important;
}
Cheers
Looks great! Thank you Is there a way we can tip you?
You’re welcome and no tip needed
Real quick… There seems to be a weird white border at the top of the page. Here and on the rest of the pages.
Hey – try removing the snippet I gave you earlier now that you’re using different settings:
#page-header-bg[data-parallax="1"] {
margin-top: 2px!important;
}
Hi!
With the new version 5.5.3, there are problems with the portfolio. Masonry Style is not displayed correctly. Why did you change it?
Please quick help, thank you!

$portfolio_containers[i].find('.col.elastic-portfolio-item.wide img, .col.elastic-portfolio-item.regular img').css('height',tallColHeight);
to this:
$portfolio_containers[i].find('.col.elastic-portfolio-item.wide img:not(.custom-thumbnail), .col.elastic-portfolio-item.regular img:not(.custom-thumbnail)').css('height',tallColHeight);
Hi again!
I’m sorry, but unfortunately it does not please me. It was somehow different before. I am sending you again my acutely settings. Would be nice if the distance between the images were not.

Heeelp! Downloaded latest version, but VC is no longer part of the theme??
www.voksenadhd.dk
It says I need to install VC, and the site is not displayed correctely
Hey Peter,

Sorry about that. Actually I was looking for it before writing, but I missed the fact you had “Salient” in front of it Thats why

Hey I have had an ongoing problem with column animations. i have 5 rows each with two columns which fade in from the left and right; an image and some text. This is randomly not working, not showing the text col or the image col. I search the source and the text and image is there.
Any ideas?
ive uploaded a demo here http://ngwenyaglass.co.sz/dev It does it randomly. I want to use animations on columns but I think i will just have to diable it?
I found that this code had its opacity still on for one of the offending columns
img.img-with-animation, .col.has-animation, .wpb_column.has-animation {
opacity: 0;
position: relative;
}
On one column where the problem is not persisting, the opacity was crossed out.
This is happening completely randomly. Sometimes all columns show, sometimes no text shows and sometimes it’s just unpredictable what it is going to show.
Hey – did this just start occuring in the latest update for you or had it been persisting prior to that?
This has been happening since I purchased the theme. Could you replicate the error? Even when I right click where an image should be the image is there and can be opened in a new tab or seen in inspect element but not seen on screen.
Hey again – could you kindly open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a further look? https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Hey guys, just updated to the latest release that was pushed through today and now visual composer is gone and none of my salient shortcodes are working. My entire site is broken with [vc_column] type of shortcodes.
HELP PLEASE!
I just read that I have to install JS Composer separately which I just did on my multisite and now I get crazy errors:
Warning: fopen(/srv/users/serverpilot/apps/xxxxxxx/public/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/js_composer.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /srv/users/serverpilot/apps/xxxxxxx/public/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4183

I think it’s fair to say that most people who updated are NOT getting the “requires Salient Visual Composer Install Now” message in their dashboard. So, I went in to the Appearance > Themes > Salient and click on Install Plugins and now the errors I wrote about (above) are gone on the front end. However, these are now showing on the dashboard:
Warning: fopen(/srv/users/serverpilot/apps/xxxxxxx/public/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/js_composer.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /srv/users/serverpilot/apps/xxxxxxx/public/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4183

Hey ehong33234, could you kindly open a ticket in regards so I can take a further peek at that?
Okay, I just opened ticket #385271
Hey – just responded
Hi! Your theme has everything I need! Just a few pre-purchase questions though..
1) Would I be able to include/exclude certain post ids when i create a blog component for a category
2) Also I want all the posts to appear in the same size when using masonry blog (i.e. images and the content in same size) so that it looks more like a perfect grid rather than masonry
Are these possible right now?
Hey,
1. This would require some custom development – as of now you can only exclude categories as a whole
2. If you use this style that would be possible: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog/blog-masonry-fullwidth/
Cheers
