Hi just recently purchased the theme and loving it so far. I just had two questions:
1. is it possible to add an image into the header (other than the logo, behind the nav menu)
2. I wanted to include multiple images into projects so thought of using an image gallery in portfolio posts using the nectar slider. No matter what I do the images always crop either a little from either side for from the top and bottom and I have variable height ticked in the options.
Hey,
1. Add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
#header-outer {
background-image: url('your-img.png')!important;
}
2. If you want to keep the exact aspect ratios the basic slider style in the image gallery element would be better suited
Cheers
thanks! that worked a treat! I seem to have developed a different issue however, I can’t access my salient settings anymore, either in individual pages or the general salient settings.
Could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on

Hi Thanks for the quick reply! I think I figured it out. It looks like an under construction plug in i was using updated and was interfering with the visual composer. Deleted the offending plug in and it seems to be working (ultimate under construction if anyone is interested)
Hey – glad you sorted it

Hey – 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 (there will be a prompt at the top of your screen). Cheers!
Thx!!!!
You’re welcome
Hey,
If a customer adds an item to the cart, it will show in the menubar. However, when is the cart automatically emptied again? Right now, the cart stay the same on all my visits. Is it based on a cookie or? And if yes, how can I change the time interval for the display of chosen products in the menu-shopping-cart?
Sincerely, Mika
Hey Mika,
It is based on a cookie and it’s the default WooCommerce functionality – you’d need to reach on the WooCommerce forums in regards to modify this
Cheers
Great, thanks a lot!
You’re welcome
How do I make it so the nectar slider just rotates threw back to the first image instead of skimming back threw all the slides again to get to the first one ?
Hey,
Activate the loop option in your slide element within the visual composer slider element
Cheers
hi,
great theme!
we want to seperate our blog from the rest of the site.
is it possible to:
1. use different font on blog vs other sitepages?
2. use different background vs other sitepages?
tnx a lot guys!
cheers!
Hey!
1. You can display your blog on any page of your choosing – however the header/footer will still be the same as other pages
2. You can set a BG on any specific page either via css or by a visual composer row BG
Cheers
Hi, enjoying this theme, quick question. In the main shop when your hover over a product I would like to change the opasity / colour or hide the white overlay that appears. normally would change this in the custom css but cant find the right bit of code to add. any help would be great.
Thanks
Hey rockandrolltiger,
.text_on_hover.product.hovered .product-wrap > a .bg-overlay {
opacity: 0.4!important;
}
Cheers
Hello, Can you please help me with some issues…
1. i have used the portfolio and activated tags for every portfolio item… i will like to keep them for future use.. but i want to disappear them in the front end… please see this link: http://barcelonafotoantic.com/portfolio/a68p31a234-turo-park-1961-tiff/may be a css code to avoid showing the tags?
2. please see this link http://barcelonafotoantic.com/album-de-fotografias/as you can see, there is a lot of pictures showing here.. more than 600.. and there will be more to come.. i want to solve the issue of the time that takes to load all the pictures in the portfolio arrangement. may be a way to make them load as the user scrolls down.. .
is this possible to do?
thanks alot for the help and the awesome work with the theme
Hey jmanyelo,
1. Those tags are not wrapped in any html element that could be easily targeted to hide them without hiding the entire sidebar
2. You can activate the pagination option for your portfolio element and then use the infinite scroll option
Cheers
thanks for the response..
1. i really have no clue of what your are saying.. can you help me with this? how can i wrap the tags in a html element?
2. i did find the pagination option but not the infinite scroll option.. so it will only show the number of project i write there.. and then a button with an arrow appear so i have to clic there to go to next page.. i dont want that.. i need it to load more projects as the user scrolls down.. where is this infinite scroll option?
thanks in advance for the help
i just discovered that the option for infinite scroll is in a version of salient im not able to install..
someone here in the comments wrote a solution to activate tags for the portfolio projects.. i followed those instructions and the option for the tags appeared there.. so i tagged all the projects!! but i tried to update salient after that but had to go back cuz the tags disappear when i did the update.. im not sure if all the projects still with tags after the update and only won’t show cuz i will have to make the changes in the php file again.. or if the projects loose the tags i wrote for each one after the update of salient.
i will love to be able to update salient without losing the tags function!! can you help me to do that>?
thanks in advance for your time and help
just to add information that it might help… this is the way i got the tags working with portfolio items. following this instructions i found here in the comments…
*If you like to substitute TAGS to your portfolio items, you’ll need to modify functions.php:
Function portfolio_register, line 1477:
Replace
‘supports’ => array(‘title’, ‘editor’, ‘thumbnail’, ‘comments’, ‘revisions’) With
‘supports’ => array(‘title’, ‘editor’, ‘thumbnail’, ‘comments’, ‘revisions’), ‘taxonomies’ => array(‘post_tag’)
This will enable the standard WP tagging box so you’re able to bounce your stuff in.*
Hi There
Great theme. Thanks. Just one thing I would like to change on the ‘single full-width portfolio’ template. At the moment the title block and nav controls are vertically aligned to the centre of the page header.
Is there a way to align all the title blocks to the top? i.e. so they sit under the main header, regardless of the page header height?
Many Thanks
Blair
Hey Blair,
Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel:
#portfolio-nav ul, html .single-post #single-meta {
top: 10%;
}
#full_width_portfolio .row .col.section-title {
top: 100px!important;
}
Cheers

Hello, is there any way to put the map inside an article? In particular, I am interested in creating a 2/3 map and in the last 1/3 put multiple addresses (I live in Italy and my country is “very vertical” _
Hey,
Yes – you can use the visual composer map element inside of a column. I did something similar here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog/contact/
Cheers
Hi Salient, I like the way you make the blog layout in your latest demo, some big some small. When I look at your pages, I saw in the page there is an option to trigger the thumbnail 2x or regular, but when I click new post on page, why can’t I see that option?
I tried changing blog settings to fullscreen etc but I can’t seem to toggle that option on new posts page and existing posts. With the same options, the same wordpress theme on different directories manage to toggle the masonry sizing option. May I know exactly how do I toggle that option? Thank youu
Hey! Make sure that you have masonry layout option selected in your blog options tab within the Salient options panel
Cheers

Hi salient, Is there a tip to display a different fullscreen parallax header on each page, using the page header setting on the admin panel of the page (which displays a h1 title), instead of using the nectar slider (which display a h2 title). Thank you for your help !
Actually, I woud like to display a fullscreen header on the woocommerce product page (so just above the product picture and description). I try with the nectar slider with the fullscreen and parallax options, but it only display the header and the footer … and not the content between these 2 parts … Could you help me to manage this ? Thank you
Hey,
Unfortunately there’s no way to make the page header 100% height all the time yet, a Nectar Slider would indeed be needed. To get it to display on a shop page, instead of using the plugin defined shop page – create a static page and add the slider and shop via the visual composer page builder
Cheers
Thanks for your answer, but i’m afraid that I don’t understand everything … What do you mean by “the plugin defined shop page” ? What I would like to obtain is to display a different nectar fullscreen slider on each product page (not only on the shop page). Could your give me more explanation ? Thank you !
Hi,
Thank you so much one more time for your amazing and in every way wonderfull theme.
We made custom footer here. http://hundehotell.com/Little issue than on mobile phones there is small white little gap. Can you help maybe.
Thanks so much.
:*
Hey! Add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
#footer-outer {
margin-top: -20px!important;
}
}
Thanks It worked but line stays now , no white but line is there
Hey again – i’m not sure I understand what the current issue is, could you kindly provide a quick screenshot showing?
Hey – try this snippet instead of the last one:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
#footer-outer {
transform: translateY(-20px);
}
}
Hey just one more please please, any easy way that I can have differennt logo per particular page, I know that I can copy all files but just don’t want to change layout that we already did , will try this and let you know
Hey – you’d need to use a conditional in the header.php file like so:
if(is_page( 'Home' )) {
echo '<img src="your-img.png" />';
} else {
echo '<img src="your-img-alt.png" />';
}
Line still stays 
can you help
I add both snipets but line still stays , any more idea

Hi Again,
I’ve been trying to link up my portfolio page I am not sure what I am doing wrong here but this looks like a posts page.
http://madebybrea.com/portfolio/and when I am making my portfolio it keeps on putting in a slider and on that page I don’t want a slider at the top. I would love it to look like this.
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/portfolio-fullwidth-masonry/Let me know if you know the solution?
Thank you
Hey dahlia_leto,
Currently I’m seeing a 404 page on that link – if the suggestion I listed in your previous comment doesn’t work please open a ticket in regards at https://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/

Hi There,
Love the theme but am having trouble getting my Portfolio to look like this (link below)
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/portfolio-fullwidth-masonry/
If you could show me how to set up my portfolio so it not only looks like this but also so I can see it when I click on the link that would be great thank you!
Hey,
You can use the portfolio element inside of the visual composer view of your page editor – when configuring it choose the full width layout and the fourth project style (Meta from bottom on hover + entire thumb link)
Cheers
Ok I now have my logo appearing at the top but through the Salient UI in wordpress it appears I can’t add any text in addition to the logo.This leads to 2 questions:
1) how do i add text to my header? I’d rather not remake my logo image to include the text in the picture and would just like to add my website name and catch phrase with text
2) how do i keep the header from always appearing? When my tribe scrolls down the page, the header stays fixed at the top taking up valuable space. I’d rather it scroll up so the user has more of my content visible to them.
Thanks! www.getrichodt.com
I’ll also add that when viewing just the logo (no text hacked into the header.php) on my mobile phone, the logo is made to be so small you can’t even tell what it is. At this point, I’d be content to just show the top menu (since the menu that’s in the same row as the logo is just redundant to the menu on the row above) and center the logo with some text underneath it OR center the logo with no text, but have it be big enough like on my desktop / laptop where my readers could make out what it is.
Hey baylor3217,
1. You’d need to add it into the header.php file if you wanted to combine both an image and text snippet
2. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
#header-outer {
position: absolute!important;
}
3. Please see this in regards: https://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/46745/search/
Cheers
In the #header-outer section of the .css file i changed /position: fixed;/ to position: absolute!important;
What does this do? Thx
ahhh…it appears to make the header scroll. cool. I’ll have to research why that does that.
I added the snippet referenced in #3 above, but see no change. I copied and pasted directly. Any thoughts? Here’s what I added:
@media only screen and (min-width : 1px) and (max-width : 1000px) { body header#top #logo img { height: 54px!important; } }
header-outer {
height: 80px!important; }
I even changed the 54px!important to be 200px but didn’t see any change in the super tiny logo that appears when i make my laptop screen relatively small or when viewing on my phone or ipad
Hey,
Could you kindly open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a further look? https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Cheers
Done. I submitted a ticket and attached my css file. I didn’t get any confirmation ticket number and no email was sent to my account email address saying I had created a ticket. Should I have gotten a number? I wanted to make sure I’m not waiting on a response for a ticket I didn’t actually submit.
I clicked the SUBMIT button after attaching the file and my description of the problem. Thanks
Thank You
