Hi, Great theme, congrats!
I’m considering buying this theme, but I want to know if polish fonts will be working fine?
cheers Aga
Thanks Aga!
The theme offers the use of all Google fonts with all available subsets offered

Hi, I have fresh installation but not see Visual composer on plugin list, can you post me the exact link where to get for free? thank you
p.s: why you did not include the link in the documentation?
Thanks
MArk
Hey Mark, it’s located in the plugins folder directly inside of the theme
Greetings!
Two bugs we’ve discovered:
1) In IE9 – right sliding widget area opens, but does not close. 2) IE9 and IE10 – the “Start Typing” text is cut off at the top and bottom.
http://bit.ly/1ARg9I3Hey dcress,
thanks for mentioning – i’ve noted to test these
Cheers
Greetings! Any update on this? Thanks, Doug
Hey – it’s going to be addressed in the next update
I just updated our site to the newest version of Salient and am having some issues with it. It seems rather buggy. I love the theme and have it on another page that is not updated. Couple of questions…
1. I can’t seem to find out why there’s a space in between the video at the top and the next section. I’ve looked at all the possible options like padding, etc. but can’t seem to figure it out. Want to remove the white space.
2. The boxed columns underneath will not cooperate with regards to being left justified. Seems like I have to search all options in the columns, text boxes, etc. but yet some are left justified and another aren’t. Doesn’t seem to flow and work as well as the last version does.
The page is http://feedingthe5k.com
Any help would be great. Thanks.
Hey,
1. Add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
.iframe-embed {
margin-bottom: 0!important;
}
2. Could you kindly share a screenshot of what you’re trying to get them to look like?
Cheers
I ended up tweaking a few things and finally got them to display correctly. Just getting used to the new look and feel. Thanks.
Glad to here
Hello Salient!
First of all, excellent theme! Been using this theme for over a year now and still in love with it.
Quick question: Is there any way to enable scrolling inside a toggle box?
Thank you!
Hey!
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient options panel:
.toggle {
margin-bottom: 15px!important;
max-height: 150px;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
Cheers
Thanks so much!
I can now scroll inside the toggle box, however, there is a small problem: the toggle title bar also scrolls with the rest of the information.
Is there anyway the toggle title bar stays in place while the toggle information scrolls?
Thank you, Salient!
Hey!
You could try changing it to this:
.toggle .wpb_text_column {
margin-bottom: 15px!important;
max-height: 150px;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
but it would only work if you were only using text blocks inside of the toggle
Cheers
Hi there! I have a question about the theme I’m using for my site, http://www.seeitchicago.com
On the homepage, underneath the nectar slider, I have a portfolio that I am using for a “most recent video sections.” When you mouse over each item, it turns blue and the title pops up as intended.
On the mobile version, however, it’s just the predefined image for each item. No title shows. Is there a way to display the title for each portfolio item/video on the mobile version?
Thanks.
Hey – Add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.portfolio-items .work-info-bg {
opacity: 0.6!important;
}
.portfolio-items .work-info, .portfolio-items .col .work-info .vert-center *, .portfolio-items .col .work-info i {
opacity: 1!important;
}
}
Thanks for the quick reply! I added the code into the CSS box in the Salient options panel and it didn’t seem to do anything. The mobile version does not have any title over the portfolio image (like in the previous picture). Any further ideas?
http://oi62.tinypic.com/aaazk0.jpgHey again!
Could you try clearing your cache? I’m currently seeing them display
Cheers
You’re absolutely right. It is working, thank you!
One last question, though. It is possible to modify the code so that only the text appears and not the blue transparency on the mobile version? I like how the blue pops up when you click on it, but I’d rather there not be a permanent blue tint to the pictures like below:
http://oi59.tinypic.com/2ed32ns.jpgHey – change the snippet to this
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.portfolio-items .work-info, .portfolio-items .col .work-info .vert-center *, .portfolio-items .col .work-info i {
opacity: 1!important;
}
}
Perfect! Thank you for your help.
You’re welcome
Can I easily create a multiple page site using Salient, or is is solely a single page template? I’m thinking of purchasing, but want a multi page site. I love the look of Salient, and am hoping that it has the capabilities built in.
Hey mikecthomas,
You can easily create multiple pages with Salient
Cheers
Hi! I’m trying to change the “Recent Projects” -carousel heading text font, but it won’t change even if i change every setting in the typography -area.. Everything else is working fine!
Thanks!
Hey!
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
body .carousel-wrap[data-full-width="false"] .carousel-heading h2 {
font-family: 'your-font-family'!important;
font-size: 20px!important;
}
Cheers
Hi! It didn’t work! The same problem repeats also in “Team Member” -names etc.
Hey – please share your URL so I can see why it didn’t take effect
Hi…When viewing salient on a mobile device in landscape view there is a lot of added space left and right…what is the code to make the width wider to view as much of the website as possible. This is key as mobile browsing is now more important than ever..? The recommended code does not work… @media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 690px) { #boxed { width: 90%!important; } .container { max-width: 80%!important; } }
Hey airlines1,
could you kindly share your URL so I can see why the code is not taking effect for you?
Cheers
Hi,
one pre-sale question: Can I use VC add-ons plugins like ulltimate etc.?
thanks
Hey – there shouldn’t be an issue with that but if you encounter any please let me know
I see that the blog has masonry and standard options. Any plans to add option to have grid blog?
Will a related portfolio option be added in the future?
Also I see option to show next post on actual blog article. Will there eventually be an option to show the previous post and related posts? These are necessary for magazine blogs.
Hey,
1. This was added in the last release: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog/blog-masonry-fullwidth/
2. This is an item on the wishlist
3. It’s possible but there are no plans yet
Cheers
Ok. I had to buy this!
As far as the masonry fullwidth, how do I make the images different sizes as shown in your example?
Also, I cannot find the demo for this page: http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266 I am interested in the multi-colored boxes underneath the tutorials.Ok. I found the Post Configuration, Masonry Item Sizing section in the posts, but how did you set up the masonry fullwidth to look how it does in the demo?
Hey again!
Did you change the Masonry Style to “Meta Overlaid” and the blog type to “Masonry Fullwidth” in your blog options tab of the Salient options panel?
Cheers
I did. Are the images all the same size? Does the size of the images have anything to do with it? And may I please get the name of the dummy data for the mentioned link?
Hey – that dummy data set is called modern creative, you can also find a tutorial on that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpJWWM4BAbo
Also – if you are using images you already have uploaded on your server prior to activating Salient run this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/
Hey vectology,
Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can assist with the css?
Cheers
Hey – add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
article.post .content-inner, .main-content > row {
padding-bottom: 0!important;
}
If you’re trying to get rid of the space at the top still use this as well:
html body.single-post[data-bg-header="true"].ascend .container-wrap {
padding-top: 0!important;
}
Hi!
I looked everywhere to see if you already answered this question, but I cannot see an equivalent so far.
I enable the WooCommerce Cart In Nav , and the bag looks like a lock, so I followed the instructions you already gave to change the icon to the font awesome shopping cart ( fa-shopping-cart code ”\f07a” ) and it worked. However, because this icon is black, and my header + navigation menu background is dark grey, I can hardly see the icon.
How can I change the background of shopping cart area in the nav. on the right corner to off-white? OR change this icon to white ?
Thanks in advance for your reply
Morgane
Hey Morgane,
Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can assist with the css?
Cheers
Just saw going back on the website, the cart icon is invisible now?! I haven’t changed anything in the css folder or child theme since my message… strange.
Hey – could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on themenectar.ticksy.com/
done 
thanks!
Thanks!
Pre-purchase question: Is it possible to have a right and left sidebar (same size) on posts with a featured video in main content of the post? So it would basically be a 1/4, 1/2, 1/4 layout on the blog post and the 1/2 is a featured video? Thanks.
Hey,
As of now this would require modding the theme files slightly since there’s only support for a sidebar on one side as of now
Cheers
I just added a sidebar to my page. How can I make the text larger as well as control the spacing between the lines and the color of the text? Thanks.
Hey – it will inherit the font size you set for the body text in your typography options panel. Changing this would require css – if you can share the page URL in regards I’d be glad to assist
What a great theme!
I just have a few issues with changing the fonts and the font sizing.
I am in the typography menu and I did change the “navigation” size, but it doesn’t seem to change, nor do any of the others.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hey KenKaiRawr,
Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
Cheers
Any ideas on this?
I realise you don’t provide support when it involves other plugins, but is there any way I can have a completely different Home page for smartphone layouts?
Thanks, Wizard247
Hey, here’s a solution you could use in the functions.php file. Essentially it would just allow you to redirect to a separate page you’ve created: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/107816/changing-theme-change-home-page-for-mobile-visitors
Thanks for this great them .!
But there are few issues with the nector slider in the newer version as the image get chopped from the corner on mobile and tablet view.
Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
Hey,
Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look?

Hey, I’ve just upgraded and there doesn’t seem to be a Visual Composer Option anymore…Can you please advise !
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!
Thank You
You’re welcome
On the Necatr Slider is possible to use button text just as subtitle (no mouse over)
Thanks
Hey markzoi,
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.swiper-slide .button a {
position: relative!important;
z-index: -1!important;
}
Cheers
not a perfect solution because A: on mouse over still glows blue, and all others slides with link become blind 
You could give the slide a class name when editing it such as “no-links” and then change the css to this:
.swiper-slide.no-links .button a {
position: relative!important;
z-index: -1!important;
cursor: default!important;
}
