Hi-
I saw some answered questions about replacing the nectar slider on the home page with layerslider. But I am not technically super-savvy and, after some messing around, I cannot get it to work.
I erased the entire block at the bottom of this message and replaced it with:
<?php layerslider(1) ?>
But it did not work at all.
Like I said, I’m not very technically gifted so I might be making major mistakes in this.
Please advise.
Thanks!

Hey sachawebley,
Could you kindly share your page URL in regards so I can see the current output?
Cheers
Hey – currently I’m seeing nothing display on that page just an internal server error. Is that what’s been happening when you use the layerslider call?
Yes, that’s exactly what’s been happening.
I think I’m just putting the call in the wrong place or deleting more of the original code than I need to. But, after experimenting, I can’t figure out exactly how to do it.
Could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on

Netar Team,
First of all, thank you for such a great theme!
I’m having an issue come up though. On the mobile version of my site I’m having this code pop up above the Nectar slider that says… ‘_gaTracker(‘send’,’pageview’);
Do you know where in my code I can go to remove this or what I should do to hide it? Any help would be great, thank you!
Here is a link to an image of the problem: [Imgur](http://i.imgur.com/PxeqgYh.png?1)
Hey – have you verified no plugins are adding that? If so, please open a ticket with your admin credentials so I can take look

Nectar Team,
Prior to updating to the newest version of Salient I was able to use such plug-ins as ‘Intuitive Custom Post Order’ and ‘Post Types Order’ to drag and drop the order of my pages. I currently am unable to do that.
Do you know why this would of happened and a way of fixing it? I’m at a lost.
Thanks, EM
Hey EM,
Are you unable to drag the pages/posts or is the order not saving for you?
Cheers
I am unable to drag and drop with either plugin. It was working a few days ago but now has completely stopped working. Any thoughts?
I can’t seem to replicate it on my end with the current theme version – could you kindly open a ticket in regards so I can take a look at the backend? https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Cheers
With regards to opening a ticket and accessing the backend, does that mean you require log-in for access my WordPress dashboard? Unfortunately, I am currently in the building stages and I’m using a localhost.
Do you think that would have an effect on the plugin not working?
I have another site neileverosborne.com which uses a previous version of Salient with the same ‘Intuitive Custom Post Order’ plugin activated which works perfectly fine.
Please let me know what information you need in-order to be able to assess this issue.
Thanks, EM
Dear Themeforest Team,
i have still a problem with my parallax background visibility on mobiles. The background is not responsive on mobile devices and doesnt fit with the width, on mobiles i see just 15%-25% of the background picture. Is there a trick to force the width and show the full background?
Thanx
Hey yasamiro,
please share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
Cheers
hey, the url is: http://test.3dhandwerk.de
Instead of using pixel values for the top/bottom row padding use percent values e.g. 20% 
Oh sorry:))) works perfect now!!! yeahhhhh!!!!
Cheers 
Loving this theme so far!
We are having an issue with the responsive styling. For some reason at certain screen sizes the H1 headings disappear and the H2 heading shrink much more than is needed.
This is most noticeable on the page http://www.yourworkplace.ca/conference/about
How can we fix these issues?
our custom code is: header#top nav ul li a.nectar-button {
padding: 6px 15px!important;
margin-top: 25px!important;
margin-left: 15px!important;
color: #fff!important;
}
body .nectar-button:not([data-color-override="false"]),body .nectar-button:not([data-hover-color-override="false"]) {
visibility: visible !important;
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 1300px) and (min-width: 1000px), (max-width: 690px) {
body .row .col.section-title h1, body h1 {
font-size: 63px!important;
line-height: 76px!important;
}
body .row .col.section-title h2, body h2 {
font-size: 48px!important;
line-height: 66px!important;
font-weight: 200!important;
}
body .row .col.section-title h3, body h3 {
font-size: 32px!important;
line-height: 48px!important;
}
body .row .col.section-title h4, body h4 {
font-size: 22px!important;
line-height: 24px!important;
}
body .row .col.section-title h5, body h5 {
font-size: 16px!important;
line-height: 24px!important;
}
body .row .col.section-title h6, body h6 {
font-size: 14px!important;
line-height: 26px!important;
font-weight: 200!important;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
}
}
.row .col.section-title span {
font-size: 100%!important;
line-height: 20px;
color: #888;
top: 0px;
position: relative;
text-transform: none;
font-family: 'OpenSansLight';
padding-left: 10px;
}
media="all"
.row .col.section-title {
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 36px 0px;
border: none!important;
}
One other issue. The last word of the headline on http://www.yourworkplace.ca/conference is being clipped(running off the page) on mobile devices. How can that be fixed?
Hey,
1. Switch into the text editor and remove the span inside of the h1 – if you want to change the color to white in the section title set the row font color to light – as for the h2’s, do you have a font size set for them in your typography options panel?
2. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1300px) and (min-width: 1000px), (max-width: 690px) {
body .row .col.section-title h1, body h1 {
font-size: 33px!important;
line-height: 39px!important;
}
}
Thank you so much, you solved all my issues so quickly! Great support!
Cheers 
Did you have seen the issue Jarvis – onepage Parallax WordPress Theme? How I can get several parallax in onepage Salient for correct viewing in Chrome? Thank You.
Hey digrafo, you can have unlimited parallax row BG’s – could you kindly share your URL if you’re having an issue?
Hey again – could you kindly open a ticket in regards with you admin credentials so I can take a further look at the page? themenectar.ticksy.com
Cheers
fantastic theme. somehow you made it JUST WORK, and also fun to play with. which is unheard of with Wordpress themes in my experience.
here’s my current problem:
i click on a portfolio item, enter the post, then click back out to the portfolio page using animated #anchor link (i’m using full URL anchor links in the main menu). the page loads, but does not include the SORT links.
solution?
btw, i realize this is because the anchor is assigned to the row. perhaps this is not solvable then, except to re-code the row structure so that portfolio SORT menus are below the #anchor.
Thanks spotsunknown! Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can also test this?
Cheers!
i have also discovered that on iPad (landscape and portrait) the clickable meta overlays disappear, even though they are fine on my iPhone.
My google maps didn’t show more than one location, I’m using this format:
36.837773|-2.465657| La Mala Tortillería. 36,83583|-2,462319| Bagua Lounge. 36,835027|-2,446346|Bar de tapas Ambrosía. 36,839192|-2,46075|Macla.
and it only shows the first one. www.cervezaselcabo.com/devel
Hey grafiquito,
do you have the locations on separate lines such as:
36.837773|-2.465657| La Mala Tortillería. 36,83583|-2,462319| Bagua Lounge. 36,835027|-2,446346|Bar de tapas Ambrosía. 36,839192|-2,46075|Macla.

Hello guys ,
We have the following css to make mobile menu fixed on scroll down:
}
#mobile-menu {
position: fixed!important;
top: 52px!important;
width: 100%!important;
}
We are getting the following before scrolling down:
Can you help us fix this, either by removing secondary navigation or that both menus don’t overlap.
On the other hand we tried to update our theme to latest update. We are on version 4.9 . After installing theme and visual builder plugin we get no content whatsoever :
The content is showing on editor with correct layout. But is showing blank even in preview.
Please help.
Thank you.
Sebastian
Hey Sebastian,
1. The css to hide the secondary nav on mobile would be:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
#header-secondary-outer {
display: none!important;
}
}
2. Could you please share your URL in regards?
Cheers
Thank you!

We had to reinstall old Salient version (4.9) in order for content to display. But we really want to update the theme, the new woocomerce features are of great benefit to us.
When you updated did you activate the Salient Visual Composer plugin and clear your cache?
Yes sir we did
Could you kindly do the update again and put a maintenance mode plugin on for a short period of time and allow me to log in to see what the error is?
Cheers
HI there. I just updated to the most recent version and on a lot of the pages I’m getting “vc_row” type coding. How can this be remedied? Also, the slider on the main page seems to either load images pretty quickly or the loading wheel will just run and run without loading anything.
http://www.seeitchicago.comHey mhstanton81,
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!
Ok, but I’m still having issues with the slider on the main page. Since the upgrade from 5.0 to 5.5.4, the slider sometimes loads, other times I’m stuck with a spinning loading wheel. And because the slider doesn’t load, the rest of my page doesn’t load.
Hey,
I haven’t been able to see this occur yet on a series of loads split up on Firefox/Chrome – when you see the site note load in do you have any errors showing in the browser console?
Cheers
Hi, after updating to this latest version several things broke on my site. The masonry tiling is off with big gaps between the items, the colors changed, and I no longer see the visual composer, which I think is related to the following code appearing on my pages instead of the content that should be there. Please help! : ) Thank you!

Will my content that was in the old VC carry over? The theme is already activated so do I just add the plugin? Is it called ‘Showcase – Visual Composer Addon’? Because when I activate that plugin I still don’t see the VC on my portfolio pages.
Hey, the plugin is called Salient Visual Composer – and your old VC content will hold over when that is active. If you can’t find it in your admin panel you can manually install it (it’s located in the plugins folder directly inside of the Salient theme folder)
Thank you so much. That fixed everything!
You’re welcome 
Hi Theme Nectar,
there seems to be a bug with Nectar Slider. If I add mp4 video with audio — the video plays just fine and all but the audio will play 2 times at the same time. (Second one starts after a small delay).
To put it simply: When you load the page, the video starts playing correctly with audio. After 2-3 seconds the audio starts playing AGAIN – along with the first one, so now there are two (same) songs playing.
This seems to be theme related as I tested several different videos with sounds.
Are you aware of this issue? Is there any way to fix this?
Hey Ryuko, do you have the loop option active for the slider? Could you kindly share your URL in regards
Testimonials have lost their picker at the bottom: http://goo.gl/0Qmj5j Also doesn’t display correctly in Chrome. Cuts text off.
Hey – try setting padding on your column or row slightly (a small value such 20 for the top/bottom should allow them to display
Our site is running extremely slowly and some pages do not load – that is, the page I am trying to access does not show in the url (eg Contact Us > Ask The Gardener) This page contains a Gravity Form only.
Is this a memory issue or a known conflict with a plug in? Please advise. Thank you.
http://ohslandscapegroup.comHey johnball,
Change your page transition method to the standard one from the ajax one you have on in your Salient options panel 
Cheers
Excellent! Thank you.
You’re welcome 
How do I use the lightbox with a youtube clip? Trying to link it to a button, but it just opens a new tab?
Hey,
Use this in your text tab on the editor:
<a class="pp" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yarB1NCyqfs" target="_blank"> Video link text </a>
Cheers
Can I do this on one of the fancy buttons?
Use this instead:
<a data-hover-text-color-override="#fff" class="pp" data-hover-color-override="false" data-color-override="#20CFEF" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yarB1NCyqfs" target="_blank">Facebook</a>
Seems like the VC isn’t working in the new update. Is there something I’m missing here?

Hey there! I have a static page with Salient theme running on my AWS instance. I have a header which only has ”#” links to specific rows on the page (example.com/#example). As the page got bigger, I added posts and some other subpages. Now when I go to a post or subpage (example.com/post), the original header stays the same but for some reason, the links have changed (example.com/post#example). I tried to add ”/” infront of the ”#example” in menu settings, but without any luck. AllowOverride is set to ALL also on the server.
Is it maybe possible to edit header.php to fix this or something?
Hey hilmarorn,
Are you entering the full URL in for the link such as:
example.com/#exampleinstead of just the anchor ”#example”?
Cheers
Yes, I tried that. Seems like some function is overriding it. I there a way to tweak it in header.php or maybe repalce posts witth a different header?
Hey again – are you also on the latest version of the theme?
Hello again Nectar. I’m currently using the latest version, do you have any ideas what I can do?
Could you kindly let me see the URL so I can test that for you?
Cheers
I was wrong about the version, after checking it again. But here is the link, http://jonatli.is
Hey again – could you kindly try changing your permalink structure in your admin panel to anything other than the default?
Cheers
Hi, is the latest version compliant with Google’s mobile friendly test?https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/
Hey emmak,
For some reason i’m seeing that the service can’t load the resources at the moment, however the way the theme is structured should indeed pass that test

Hi, I use Polylang for the translation of the Website.
I’ve checked to translate also the Nectar Slider but it doesn’t appear on the backend section of Nectar Slider. Is there a way to translate the Nectar Slider with Polylang plugin?
Thank you
Hey innobrain,
Unfortunately the only plugin i’ve tested with WPML, have you reached out to Polylang developers in regards?
Cheers
It appears only on Home Sliders section but no in Nectar Sliders…
Hi ThemeNectar,
Since update 5.5.4 the masonry portfolio shortcode isn’t calculating it’s height proporly. After resizing or refreshing it’s ok. Can you be able to fix this issue?
Thanks for all the previous updates, keep up the good work!
Hey vdlpwp,
Could you kindly share your URL so I can take a peek?
Cheers
