hi there
how do i get a blog page called “blog” to display posts from a blog category without the blog page getting confused with the Archive page for the “blog” category?
if i have both a page and a category with the same name the page doesn’t display as a normal blog but as a long one-page archive…
Hey,
You could either change your permalink structure or simply rename the slug for your blog page to something else to allow them to be two separate entities
Cheers
is there a way to have posts be both classic masonry display on one page and Masonry Image Tiles on another page? this would be ideal – right now the Salient options demand one choice or the other, where I’d like the option for both where I i choose…
Unfortunately as of now you can only use one masonry style at a time
really need both and willing to PAY you for a template that can use the classic view for a blog while the Salient settings are for Masonry Tiles… please let me know?
Hey – you could check out envato studio in regards: http://studio.envato.com/
hmmm – ok i’ve found a workaround:
create a ‘dummy’ Project for each Post I want to display Masonry Tiles and use the handy “External Project URL” on the Project Settings to point to the Post. 
Hey – i’m glad you sorted it 
i need RTL support how can u help me plz
Hey eslamene,
The theme has an RTL stylesheet built in that will be loaded when using a language that needs it – what specifically are you needing assistance with?
Cheers
Hello
I’m using the Necter Slider for videos. The videos are 5s each and I’ve set the slider to rotate at 4750ms. However the video often seems to ‘jump’ as they seem to not restart when the slide comes up again.
Is there a way to force the video slide to start at the beginning of the 5s on each loop. It just looks really bad when it jumps back to the start when you’re watching it even though the video is longer than the slide duration.
Hey,
could you kindly share your URL in regards?
Cheers
Hello … http://freezeframeproductions.co.uk. It is most noticable on slide 2 and 3 if you let them play through a few times in particular.
Hey again – I believe this might be a bug specific to the new slider directional based movement, could you try and verify this by switching that quickly?
Yes, you’re correct from the looks of it. Switched to the classic option and it is now looping fine. I have however chosen ‘fade’ as the transition between the slides, yet it still seems to be sliding?
Hey – are you are v5.5 of the theme?
Hi, yeah, 5.5.5
Hey – it appears the option you’ve selected is a slide only one (the button with preview) – if you change that it will allow it to be only a fade if that’s what you desire
Cheers
Three timely questions:
1. Is there a way to just show one home page and not assign a menu so that there is no menu bar but just the logo on the left? If so, how?
2. If this is not possible, in the slider widget, using a one page parallax, is it possible to have the side widget links scroll up and down on the page when each link is clicked? If so, how?
3. With the Grid Gallery, is there a way to first show square thumbnail images and then once they are clicked the full image shows up? The issue is that with the Grid gallery, some images are vertical and some are horizontal and important parts of the images are being cut off. For example on a vertical image, we see half of the face. If there is a way to place a customized square image and then once clicked, it opens a different image file that would be great. If so, how?
Thank you
Hey,
1. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
header#top nav>ul.sf-menu {
display: none!important;
}
2. I’ve noted to add support for this in the next update
3. This would only be possible if you used the portfolio element instead of the vc gallery – you can still make it a lightbox gallery by setting that option, but you can use the custom thumbnail upload with the featured image for two separate images to be used
Cheers
1. Thank you for that info. Much appreciated.
2. Thank you. Looking forward to updates for this.
3. Chose to go with a plugin as the portfolio method would be super time consuming, but thank you for the idea though.
Cheers 
hey Theme Nectar
I have a question related to the dummy data of the “Ascend theme” and ecommerce files
the pages designed for the salient theme look really nice: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce/shop/shop-fullwidth/ http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce/product/mens-button-down/ http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce/product/large-button-down/ (I uploaded the dummy data .xml files for both the ascend theme and ecommerce) and for the home page http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/home-portfolio-eye-candy/but the question is:
how to import the dummy data with all the images and WooCommerce styling?
within the dummy data folders, for example the ascend theme, we have two files: dummy-data.xml demo-theme-options.txt
what should be done with the demo theme options?
many thanks, M.
Hey New_Castle,
You’d need to also import the theme options dummy data in the import/export tab of the Salient options panel. Just open up the demo-theme-options.txt and copy/paste the data in there. (Make sure you’re using ecommerce one for this)
Cheers
Hi thank you for your answer
Should I upload / import the demo-theme-options.txt for the ascend theme and the ecommerce dummy data ?
Martyna
here is the demo site we are using as a test site on which we can try the new options www.szybkiepozycjonowanie.com/salient
what we have after the dummy data import, is the shop page with some errors and the product page that does not look like the great example designed by you for the demo version (rthe link is above)
thanks!
Hey again,
I’m currently not seeing any products on the site to check out – could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on

I will, thank you!
Cheers 
Hello, How do i get my image gallery into the main section of the page and not the side bar?
See: http://2015.blossomveils.com/?portfolio=skirt2
Also, is there a way that on the category page the lightbox opens to a gallery of images for that project and not just a single image? I saw a thread that said this could be done with VC but i don’t see exactly how to do it, could you give any additional direction? Thanks!
Hey!
1. Did you add it into the extra content editor (the second one on your project edit page)?
2. You can use a VC gallery element on a single project page to show as many images as you need in a lightbox but in a main portfolio display the gallery will cycle through all the project featured images rather than showing a gallery for the project clicked
1. No the first one
You would need to add it into the second editor as that is what populates the main content area
Hey there!
I have a question regarding the solid top bar above the header/logo/nav area. How do I remove/hide this? Inspecting the element tells me that it has a padding-top: 28px; I don’t know where it would have gotten this styling from..
HUGE praise to you for this theme- I absolutely love it and have used it quite a bit for different clients. It is just so flexible you can really make it look however you want 
I appreciate your help! Thank yoU!
Hey jimbot!
Are you referring to an admin bar when logged in or something else? Is there anyway you could share your URL in regards so I could take a look?
Cheers
Something else- but I figured it out. Thanks for your speedy reply 
You’re welcome 
Hi,
I just updated to newest version of Salient, and see what is going on? No content. http://sourcepixels.com/ How to fix ASAP??
Thanks, Milan.
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!
Hey Salient people.
Do you have any idea how to fix the auto lightbox using W3 Total’s Cloudfront (with CDN)? It appears that when the CDN specifically is active images open a new page rather than in the lightbox. After Googling this issue it seems this is a common issue with some lightboxes serving CDN images.
Example: http://dsgnstorm.com/project/evoexplorer/
Perhaps I just need to move the scripts in the page so any suggestions? Also which scripts are relevant to the lightbox functionality.
Hey,
If you link a image that isn’t on that cdn does it work or will it still break if the cdn is active for other assets at all?
Cheers
I have narrowed the problem down to the “CDN>Host Attachments” section of W3Total. If I uncheck this option the image loads from my server instead of the CDN and the lightbox works. Once I tick the option the image loads on the CDN in a new window.
External image attachments open a new window using either setting.
Hey again – could you kindly uncheck the option so I can test? Currently it still appears to be on
I have unchecked the “Host attachments” in the CDN panel.
Hey – I can see it now opening in the lightbox correctly without also popping a new tab. Which browser are you still seeing that occur on?
The lightbox is only working now because you asked me to uncheck the “Host Attachments” option. The lightbox indeed works fine without this option because the images are loading from my server. However I need to host the images from my CDN, and it’s when I check the “Host Attachments” option that the lightbox breaks. I have checked “Host Attachments” back on again so now the images are served from my CDN and the lightbox stops working again.
CDN Host Attachments [On] Breaks on Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Mobile
CDN Host Attachments [OFF] Works on Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Mobile
I have updated the page with a screenshot of the current settings, I have also disable all caching settings so only the host attachments is now active.
Hello,
Thank you so much for the previous responses. I am facing one issue in the portfolio page also. When i click on the portfolio image to view it large, i get everything as required except the Close (X) sign . It is quite different from what i saw on another website using the same theme ( http://brickvisual.com/projects/ ). I want a similar ‘Close’ sign as in this website.
You can see my portfolio page here: http://hqvisual.com/work

Thanks, Ridhi
Hey! It appears one of your plugins is causing that styling issue, could you kindly try deactivating them until you find the culprit?
Cheers
Hej, another small question: Is there any way to set a custom order of the filter options in portfolios? Right now, they are being sorted alphabetically (“Category A, B, C”) but I need to make a custom order.
Kind regards
Hey – without modding the files you could try out this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/
Hello , I would like to know what might be happening . When I update the Theme by FTP , unconfigures entire site. How can I make this not happen?

Nice! It’s worked. Tks!
For some computers we have this same problem with Chrome and Explore. Do you know how can I fix it? : http://duchacosmeticos.com.br/themeforest/old-theme.jpg
Hey – can’t replicate that on my Chrome, are you only seeing this on PC?
Here on my computer also isn’t happening, I’m using Mac. But in 50% of users using PC, it’s happening, specifically in chrome.
Is there a version number you can get on the browser that is occurs on from the users? I still haven’t been able to see it happen yet on another machine using those browsers
Hello, The problem happens in Chrome (Version 42.0.2311.90 m) – 32bits. Do you know how can I Change de urls to fix this problem. Maybe creating a folder with thouse images.

Hey again – the icons not loading are part of a font file and are not images, I don’t believe altering the path would change anything but could you confirm if there are any problems present in the network tab on your browser when you’re encountering them not loading?
Cheers
I don’t have access to those computers that are having this problem. But the issue is it. In this browser the images not loading and I don know why.
Hi,
Regarding my post, many days ago :
I have an issue with Portfolio element on that page : http://jeromemapo.cluster011.ovh.net/?page_id=1894
I settled the portfolio element on “starting category : 2015-2014”
when clicking on portfolio navigation, the page displays first all the jobs, during about half a second, then make them disappear, and displays then the good category…
>>> You’ve answered, thank you, but 3 days ago I post two additionnal questions. Did you have an occasion tu read them ? I paste them hereunder. Thank you ! :
Thanks fot quick answer ! Ok for issue #2, it doesn’t really matters. But the issue #1 really doesn’t agree my client 
- When do you think it’ll be fixed ?
- Do you think the cache activation (Falcon Engine of Wordfence) gonna reduce this problem, while optimizing the speed ?
Thanks
Hey!
1. The next update will sort it 
2. It most likely would increase the loading speed overall of the portfolio but the issue would stay the same
Hello,
I am facing an issue with the nectar slider on two of my pages http://hqvisual.com http://hqvisual.com/workI have checked the option “Insert Down Arrow That Leads to Content Below” But clicking on the arrow does not move to the content below. Please help.
You can see the working slider here: http://hqvisual.com/work Login: developer / developer123@
Thanks
Hey! Have you tried updating to the latest release of the theme?
Hello,
1. I just updated the theme to the latest version. But as a result, nectar slider is no more visible on the Home page and the Work page. Please help asap.
2. On the Work Page: http://hqvisual.com/work , The css has lost somewhere for the ‘Sort Portfolio Items’ section. I want it in horizontal form and have selected it from admin theme settings.
3. On the Work Page: http://hqvisual.com/work, when i click on a particular image to view it larger, a strange black background is visible behind each image (not the overlay). I want to remove that strange black background.
Please help asap.
Thanks
Hey,
1. the markup i’m seeing in the page doesn’t match to what it should be when using the Salient VC – are you using any additional page builder plugins?
2. Try using the visual composer portfolio element rather than the page template
3. It seems a plugin you have active is causing this – please try deactivating the ones you have active until you find which is doing it
Cheers
Hi,
Can you please post the code needed to increase the size of the large circle icons (the ones with the hover animation). I have attempted this but the hover border always glitches so please post the custom CSS I need to increase the size of the icon, circle and its hover animation.
Thanks!
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
[class^="icon-"].icon-3x, [class*=" icon-"].icon-3x, .circle-border {
font-size: 22px!important;
height: 70px!important;
line-height: 70px!important;
width: 70px!important;
}
body .circle-border {
height: 68px!important;
width: 68px!important;
}
Dear Salient Support!
How can i set the logo size, in the “Header Starting Logo Upload” section ? I want to use a transparent header, but I cant set the size of the logo, as i could set the size in the basic logo upload.
Here You can see my actual site:
http://mittecomm.com/main/Thank You for the answer,
Hey mattroix!
Both the starting logo and default logo are being set to 50px for the height on your setup but it appears one of your logos has blank space in the img itself on the top/bottom
Cheers
Hello, this is a FANTASTIC theme =)
you guys are amazing! 
I was wondering if one is able to enable a horizontal line just below the header that says : [ YOU ARE HERE: Home – Products ]
Like some kind of mini – sitemap that says where you are in the website at the moment?
Thanks!
Hey!
Unfortunately this would require some integration of a plugin as of now
Cheers
hi, 1. in portfolio-fullwidth-style-2 the overlay is a colour, the name and the date, can I change date with categories, so instead of the date I name the categories belonging to this item? 2. I assume the order of the portfolio is through the date uploaded? can I change that, an shuffle the portfolio by every new page load? awesome theme so far, best jonas
and is there an option to have a parallax footer?
and can I display phone and email in the header?
and can I change the logo in the normal header and sticky header, so have in the normal header one logo version and when I scroll and the sticky header appears have another logo version, not only a smaller one, a real other file
Hey!
1. This would some modding as of now
2. Unfortunately not easily but you could make a custom order with this https://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/
3. Not yet but the item is on the wishlist
4. This would be possible through the secondary header on the main nav by adding custom nav items into the menu
5. This would only be possible without custom development if you used the transparent option as that allows for a different logo
1. can I have only the name of the portfolio on the hover?
5. but with the transparent header I cannot have the header top bar with the social media icons?
Hey again,
1. yes, there’s an option in the portfolio options tab in the Salient options panel to disable the date
2. If you want to just use the main header and not the secondary you’d need add those icons into the header.php file manually
2. could you provide me with this customization, then I woud have the secondary header as transparent version, right?
can I have a language button nest to the social media or mail icon in the top header bar?
huhu?
Hey – the secondary header can allow a language selector and the social icons but in regards to the mod you’re looking for, the next update will provide an option to add social icons in the main header
Cheers
okay, when will that be published?
The ETA is for next month
Cheers
okay cool, can I have a telefon number in the top header bar?
and can I use the mega menu without headines in the columns?
Hey,
1. You’d have to add the number as a custom menu link
2. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
body header#top nav > ul > li.megamenu > ul.sub-menu > li > a {
display: none!important;
}
cool thank you, I want to have an icon in front of the number, when I put icon-phone in the css-class it’s not working?
the custom css for the menu is not working
or do I have to place an empty link?
Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can see why the css isn’t working?
I opened a ticket
Thank you 
Hi ,
Need assistance of how we can get the demos—>one page layout
Thanks, Anusha
Hey – the dummy data set for that is included with you download, it’s located in the folder “one page dummy data”
Here with the download we got only clean all purpose dummy data and modern creative dummy data only we didn’t find any folder with labelled one page dummy data.
please check once the below screenshot http://screenshot.net/z4943un
We got only five folders from the downloaded theme
We will add manually as we didn’t get that layout by default.Can you mention list of sections used in onepage layout?
Hey again – I’ve just verified that all 6 sets of dummy data are included in the current download from here. If you’re using an older version of the theme you’ll need to download the current to get the one page scrolling features to get the setup to work in the first place
Thanks for your reply we got all the 6 sets of dummy data from the client itself
You’re welcome
