Strange update. No more icons: http://awesomescreenshot.com/0db4l14m68
Event the “back to top” is missing…
Hey gr3gg, could you kindly share your URL in regards?
Latest update of the theme came with some unwanted side effects.
http://gyazo.com/2bb6772501ddd53efad188f39afc2c73Any suggestions on how to solve this without editing each page individually?
Hey, Salient v5.5 separated Visual Composer into a plugin and it 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!
I love the video backgrounds and am using them quite extensively on a site. They work perfectly for me however I am getting reports that sometimes users have to wait about 5 seconds while the video presumably loads and all they see if the grey screen. Is there any way we can get the loading image to load first and then start the video stream? Or maybe treat the slide in some way that shows a video or something awesome is loading?
Hey! You could change the loading screen to something custom with css:
.nectar-slider-loading {
background-image: url('your-img.png')!important;
}
but having the preview image for the video appear would actually take some custom development.
Cheers
Ah, thats great, thanks. Not a biggie but the image is inserted at the actual size so tiles if too small or is zoomed if too large. What would the best CSS be to use to make it 100% fit, aka cover style.
.nectar-slider-loading {
background-image: url('your-img.png')!important;
background-size: cover!important;
}
What’s the upgrade process?
Nevermind, all sorted.
Hey – glad you sorted it
Cheers
I’m getting a weird white border at the top of the pages I have a transparent header on. LINK
Hey Ace, could you trying removing the previous custom css I provided for you?
#page-header-bg[data-parallax="1"] {
margin-top: 2px!important;
}
Cool! Also, the slide out widget icon is making some weird orange swirl. LINK. I have the head set to custom color layout and the hover the orange.
Hey – it seems you have css adding that in your child theme stylesheet:
.close {
background: url("images/close.svg") no-repeat center 0 transparent;
}
Hi, Im having problems with videos that appears to play twice. OS X, using Safari, Firefox and Chrome. I tried many different configurations but I can’t get it to work correctly
Here is the link. http://www.checkoff.com/checkoff-video/Great theme and thanks for your help! Ichiro
Hey Ichiro! Could you kindly open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look?
Cheers
Thanks! I just opened the ticket.
Thank you
Another weird thing I just noticed is the Audio from one stream continues to play after I move to another page. I need to close the browser window for it to stop. Tested in Safari, Firefox and Chrome OS X 10.10.2. Thanks!
Hey – try changing your transition method in the theme options panel to the standard option
Hi Nectar,
in Version 5.0 you gave me a CSS Code to show the description below a 3 column portfolio on iPad and smaller Desktop Screens 100% width (instead of 74% width) Now, I_ve tried to use the following Custom CSS to get it at 100% width again:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1300px) and (min-width: 1000px) {
.portfolio-items:not(.carousel) .col.span_3 .work-meta, .portfolio-items:not(.carousel) .col.span_4 .work-meta {
width: 100%!important;
}
}
But it doesn’t work. How to get it on iPads and smaller screens 100% again?
Hi Nectar,
just another important question. I’ve been using W3 Total Cache and it seems to block my Google Analytics (Section “minify) Script. I can exclude special JS-files, PHP and others in “Minify” Option Panel of W3 Total Cache – so where can I locate the file where the Google Analytics Script (Placed in Salient General Options) is stored so that I am able to exlude it?
Thanks – Markus
I got Google Analytics working now, but only the Homepage is displayed (I’ve tried seraching around my site). What about the other Sites – is the placed Google Analytics Script (Salinet General Options) served to all sites and Portfolio Single Posts f.e.?
Hey,
Yes the analytics code is added to the footer.php file which will be displayed on every page of the site
Cheers
Hi Nectar,
thanks, it only works if I deactivate minify option in W3 Total Cache, but no problem. What about my question above?

Any solution? It doesn’t look fine …
Thanks – Markus
Hey Markus, I’m still seeing the description display at 100% width in that size, could you kindly share a screenshot with me showing the width you’re seeing?
Cheers
Hi Nectar,
it’s a bit confusing … iPad tall mode everything is fine – only sometimes iPad landscape mode and f.e. a Display with 1280×1024 px Resolution it failed. But maybe it’s a problem of W3 Total Cache? I’ve disabeld the Minify settings because it occurs sometimes serious problems (the site messed up) and without the loading time is only about 5% slower. So now it seems to be allright after deleting browser cache 2 or 3 times and deleting all caches of W3 Total Cache too. I think it was a W3 Total Cache problem … But the CSS code (see in this post above) is allright, isn’t it?
BTW the CSS
.nectar-slider-loading {
background-image: url('your-img.png')!important;
background-size: cover!important;
}
could be also a choice to avoid the “black screen with stripes” if a regular Nectar Slider (with slides – no video) is loading?
AND NO problems with Update 5.5.4… – well done!
Thanks – Markus
Hey again!
Yes that would also override the default Nectar sliders initial loading state of the lines
Cheers
Dear Nectar,
I’ve installed Salient 5.5.4 and the new VC plug in but now I can’t find the custom css page input that I’ve used before. What can I do to do something like have pages with different colored tabs?
Hey! There should be a gear icon to open the custom css window on the top right of your page builder – do you not have that in your setup?
Thank you!!!
You’re welcome
You’re welcome
I opened a ticket but was told it’s a plugin conflict, which I deactivated all plugins but still not displaying properly.
Hey ehong33234, could I get the URL of your page?
Hi Theme Nectar,
I am trying to add Read More button under the Recent post visual composer element. When I add this code to shortcode-processing.php my whole site goes blank:
<?php echo '<a class="more-link" href="' . get_permalink() . '"><span class="continue-reading">'. __("Lue lisää", NECTAR_THEME_NAME) .'</span></a>'; ?>
“Lue lisää” instead of Read More is because of the translation. It seem to mesh the site up.
I would also like the Read more button to be centralized under the blog element.
www.greatpoint.fi
This is the site where I am trying to add this code.
Thanks in advance,
Hey ZoanEffects,
Does it only cause the white screen with those characters or is it using the code in general? If it’s the code, you most likely have it placed in the wrong place which would be causing a PHP fatal error
Cheers
Thanks for help, it was some kind of miss positioning of the code! 
Now all is well.
You guys rock!
Cheers
Hi,
I’d like a white border box with 5px and 10px padding around my “Enquire” menu item (id 2986). I’ve tried several css tips you’ve given to others that are slightly different to my menu but none of them work. It either moves the word “Enquire” up or down or the border is too large.
I’d also like it to change colour when it moves into the sticky menu.
Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks, Wizard247
Hey Wizard,
Could you please share your URL in regards so I can assist with the css?
Cheers
Thank you – I have pm’ed you with login details as the site is not yet live.
Hey,
Here’s a ticket in regards with the needed code to add it into your header: https://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/78972/search/
Cheers
Amazing theme. But out of curiosity, why did you change the visual composer to plugin-based, rather than a built in feature? I think I liked it better the other way.
Keep up the good work, Nick
Hey Nick! New ThemeForest guidelines forced us to
Cheers
Hi there. Great theme. Small issues here and there with cropping. My biggest pain that I cannot fix is how this theme overwrites imagery to be used worth this visual composer addon (http://codecanyon.net/item/before-after-image-slider-for-visual-composer/9978381). It’s a before and after visual slider. The problem is that the images I select to be used with this component are overwritten to instead use the mathematically/dynamically sized versions of those images. Ie I want to use img-full-size.jpg and the salient theme intercepts this image during page generation and changes it to img-fullsize-650×900.jpg. Being that this is not a css issie but rather an interception of dom elements by Salient, i would like to hace your support in this matter. I can confirm that the problem only occurs in the salient theme and in all browsers. My proposed solution would be for salient to disregard imagery for visual component addons which it knows nothing about. Please let me know what your proposed solution is. Thank you!

Hey Denis,
1. Could you kindly open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look? https://themenectar.ticksy.com
2. Use the visual composer element instead of the page template
3. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.aligncenter {
display: inline!important;
}
Cheers
Hi !
Thanks.
1. I just submitted a private ticket.
2. I’m not sure to understand that..You said that for which of my 3 pb ? I will take a look..
3. It solves the problem with the contact page, perfect ! Thanks !
Thanks for your answer 
2. I don’t have “visual composer in fact”.. It’s an external plug ? It’s a friendly advice for the portfolio page (this part of my pb), to build this page ?
ps:Sorry for my bad english..I try to do my best..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcU_PU0ipo4Hey again!
Visual Composer is the page builder included with the theme – if you’re on the latest version you need to install it in your plugins section of the admin panel
Cheers
Ok, thanks !
ps: I don’t have any pb anymore with the theme due to the ticket, great support.
You solved everything, thanks
Glad to hear

Hey again!
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
