Hi there, How do I add background colour to individual columns within one full-width section? Thanks!
Great, thank you!
You’re welcome 
Hey ThemeNectar… is it any at all possible to make the stock version of Visual Composer available as an optional plugin/download? There are features like the media grid among others that are sorely missed from your modified version
Or if you could add some of the original VC element options like Grids (media, posts, masonry) that would be great
Hey, as of now that would still require purchasing it separately as of now, but the idea to integrate the grid element is on the wishlist 
Thanks… hopefully it makes it soon
Hi there,
I’d like to be able to add a google map to an item in my portfolio but it looks like the google maps option is only available in the page builder in a page post.
Is there a way to do this?
Nevermind. I found it. 
Cheers 
So guys…you know that WordPress 4.2 created a link API issue with Visual Composer.
http://codecanyon.net/item/ultimate-addons-for-visual-composer/6892199/comments?filter=all&site=codecanyon.net&term=undefined+url&utf8=%E2%9C%93Since you guys have decided to take on the responsibility of Visual Composer in your theme, we need an update to address this issue.
Hey Axman1413, thanks for noting
I’m sorry, but that doesn’t seem like a solution. I was hoping you would tell me whether or not you plan on updating the theme VC or if I have to just dump Salient and chalk it up as a loss. The VC version in Salient has been an issue since I bought it. It has never been completely up to date with the VC version.
Had I known this was going to be such an ongoing issue, I would have never purchased the theme, nor would I have recommended it to any of my clients.
So is there an ETA on that update, or should I just move on to another theme that has not integrated VC into their theme, so I can always keep VC up to date with the latest release from WP Bakery?
The Salient VC doesn’t use any of those link elements such as the Button or Call to Action Button which is probably why no one has mentioned it yet to me – I have indeed noted to sort it for the next update 
Right, it is part of the root VC plugin. I know it is not directly relevant to the Salient VC Modules. However, you have packaged the entire plugin into the Salient Visual Composer. And WP Bakery has released an update to fix the Link API issue on their root. A suggestion for moving forward may be to separate the theme’s VC elements into an Addon for VC so VC can be updated separately, without affecting the Salient VC. I’m also a WordPress plugin developer. and we have found that extending plugins through Addons is the best way to proceed. Just a suggestion.
Hello. Just purchased this theme. First off, it’s amazing! Great job with the design! 
I have a question. How do I get a Horizontal Footer Menu? The menu has to be horizontal. I tried editing Footer.php and Function.php to assign a new menu location and then I did create and assign a new menu for the footer however, it’s coming vertical and in the left corner. I want my menu to be purely horizontal and in the right side of the page.
Second, the logo is fine when viewing on computer/laptop but it’s too small when on phone. It shrinks a bit too much. Could you supply some CSS to solve that matter? How could I control and set that on my own.
Final question, when using Nectar Slider, the H2, is not visible with background images on. Just like the caption has a semi-transparent background making it more visible, I’d want to add the same to H2. I added some custom CSS for this job however, the new semi-transparent box is overlapping the one below. How do I fix this?
Thanks a bunch! 
Also I have another question, how do I have both the logo AND the text in the header of the website? There is an either this OR that clause – I want both to appear as it would suit my needs. Is that possible? Like, I’d have a logo image upload AND I could also write some text to appear next to it? Could you supply some CSS for that function? Thanks!
Hey, Sorry. Another one. I have created a portfolio section. I have a second menu for that too appearing now for sorting/filtering different categories.
However, the secondary header is in black. How do I customize that? I want the second header for sorting/filtering portfolio categories to be of pure white and I want text to be grey. Could you please supply some CSS for that? Thanks a bunch!!!
When filling out map marker position and supplying the latitude|longitude|text – How do I make the text stay/stick on the map?
As of now, the marker appears on the map and when I click on the marker, then the text comes “Our awesome location” in a box.
I want that text to appear on its own by default. How do I do that? Could you please supply some CSS for that?
I’m so sorry about so many questions. I’ve gone through your other replies and haven’t found the exact answers to my problems.
So, I’m using light-box version of the portfolio page. When I click on the image obviously it views a larger one in a a pop up window. However, the larger version is not as big is it is supposed to be.
There is the size of the thumbnail on the portfolio page on which after I click opens a larger image which is not at all the size I’d want. Can I control that? As of now it’s too damn small. Or is there any specific resolution required? What’s the way to get bigger images than what I am getting now?
Also, is it possible for me to upload a catalog for my customers on my website and give them an option to download? How can I go about doing that? Like I have a PDF that I want my customers to have access to via download. Could you help me out please?
Finally, I’d also like to know if it’s possible to have a drop down menu that consists of categories of portfolio. So let’s say I have a portfolio with categories A, B, C and D. In my header, there would Home, Contact, Portfolio and so on …. When I hover over portfolio I want a drop down to appear with menu of A, B, C and D leading to respective selected category of products. How can that be achieved?
I’d really appreciate if you could help solve my issues ASAP as I’m in a rush to complete my project!!! Please help as fast as you can!
Hey,
1. Could you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
2. https://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/409714
3. Could you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
4. You’d need to add the text into the header.php file as of now in order for this to be possible
5.
body .portfolio-filters-inline {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
.portfolio-filters-inline .container > ul li#sort-label, .portfolio-filters-inline #current-category {
color: #555!important;
}
6. This would require modding to the map.js file located in the js folder, unfortunately css alone wouldn’t sort it
7. Could you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
8. You could have direct category links in your header but it would have to lead to separate category pages rather than a filterable one with that one selected
Hey! Here is the link: www.almahafurniture.com. Your help is much much appreciated!!! 
Everything is okay! Your support system is taking care of all the issues. I REALLY REALLY love your customer support! It’s just amazing.
Thanks for such a great job!

Great to hear

Hello, I tried to find a solution in the comments but could not.
I am having trouble the the menu anchors on a single page website. http://luisalee.wpengine.com/How would I fix the current menu item? If you select music and it scrolls to music, it will highlight the section above it as well as the music section in the menu. So in this example, both VIDEOS and MUSIC will be highlighted on the menu. Obviously, I only want it to highlight MUSIC.
thanks!
Hey – could you try changing the row types to “full width background” instead of the in container setting they currently have? You’ll need to enter in some top/bottom padding values as well, but that should clear the issue 
Hi, thanks for the quick reply, but unfortunately, that did not work. I even created pretty big distances between the sections.
Hey again – could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on

Hi there
Thanks for your reply, what is the light boxes that you are referring to?
You can turn a portfolio element into a lightbox only which will stop it from linking to the single project page and instead open the featured image in a lightbox: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/portfolio-fullwidth-style-three/
ok but this shows that you CANNOT click on an item in the portfolio and have multiple images appear but what about doing it like this?
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/portfolio/one-more-beer/Here you have all your portfolio items and then you click on one and a new page opens with info and MULTIPLE IMAGES under one project from the original portfolio
On the single project page you can have as many images as you’d like – you could also place galleries as well via the visual composer image gallery element 
Hello ThemeNectar,
I bought your theme salient and I’ve got a problem. I have to make a portfolio by paintings series in lightbox, I just started a series of format width 1000px and in lightbox that’s work and the writing description on image is well. Now I made a other series exactly in the same way, but when I click on lightbox, the text doesn’t appear , The image is truncated. I don’t know how I can resolve this problem. Sorry for my english and mistakes.
Thanks for you help.
Soso.

Hi,
I have a question about the one page anchors. I have added some custom CSS to make the header not sticky, but when I add anchor links down the page it still accounts for the height of the header/navigation. Is there any way that I could make the anchor links go right to the row and now account for a sticky header.
dev.impactworld.global/about-2
The drop down navigation goes to different sections of the page.
Let me know if this makes sense. Thanks!
Hey! Edit this section in the init.js file located in the js folder:
//scrolling
$('body,html').stop().animate({
scrollTop: $($hash).offset().top - $mobileMenuHeight - parseInt($('#header-space').height()) - adminBarHeight + (parseInt(shrinkNum) + headerPadding2*2 + 3)
},1000,'easeInOutCubic');
and delete the:
- parseInt($('#header-space').height())
That works great when you’re on the current page. However when you are on a different page and click on one of the dropdowns it loads that page at the anchor point and then slides up for the header still
Hey,
Currently I don’t see the change taking effect even on the current page – did you remove it?
Cheers
I moved it to a different location. The website is theterlouws.com/impactworld and it is experiencing what i described.
Hey again,
Change this section in the same file as well:
if($hash && $($hash).length > 0) {
$('body,html').stop().animate({
scrollTop: $($hash).offset().top - parseInt($('#header-space').height()) - adminBarHeight + (parseInt(shrinkNum) + headerPadding2*2 + 3)
},1000,'easeInOutCubic');
}
Cheers
Dear Salient Support!
How can I set up the single page gallery page, if I dont want to rescale the image in different sized displays (mobile, tablet, monitor). You can see that now there is a little crop when i scale the images.
http://mittecomm.com/main/?portfolio=be-my-guestThank You for Your help
Hey,
Have you tried the simple gallery style instead of the Nectar Slider style?
Cheers
Yes, It’s the same, there is a little crop in the images if i scale the window.
Ok, its work with the simple gallery style, but i prefer the nectar sliders arrows and navigation – is there any solution to use nectar slider style without the scaled images?
The problem I am having is the slider images on mobile version are not scaled correctly. I am using the nectar slider with the flexible slider height option – but its still cropped in mobile view. Please help me to solve this problem, if its possible.
Hey – could you kindly open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I could take a further look? https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Love the theme. I was wondering, is it possible to do a Partial View Slider with Nectar Slider?
Hey,
Could you kindly explain a little bit more as to what you’re looking to do? If you could provide a mockup screenshot in regards that would also be helpful 
Cheers
Definitely! Probably better than a mockup would be to point you to an example of one. Check out http://www.harvard.edu. The slider has a ‘partial’ view of the next and a previous slide on either side. Of course it’s also responsive and that partial view is removed on mobile devices. I know there are some slider only plugins that do this but before I drop any money on those I wanted to see if that was something that could easily be done with Nectar Slider.
Thanks!!
Hey,
There’s an option in the Nectar Slider for having the left/right buttons preview the next slide on hover but besides that unfortunately it would take some custom development
Cheers
Hi,
How do I change the color of the CURRENT sub-menu item? I’ve fixed the hover-color, but can’t seem to get the current-color to work.
My main-color is really dark, so you can barely see it on the dark sub-menu.
Thank you in advance.
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box:
html body header#top nav .sf-menu ul li.current-menu-item > a {
color: #fff!important;
}
Cheers
Awesome – thanks man!
You’re welcome 
How can I change the background. I want to have it white but it stays fixed color #F6F6F6
Search every where. Please help
Hey,
add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.container-wrap {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
Hi! I have a small problem with the side menu area with internet explorer. The background seems to be transparent but i don’t know how to fix it! Can you help me?

Hey Giselle,
What version of IE are you using and what OS is it on?

Hi! It got resolved! I dont know how but the error just didn’t apear anymore! Strange but thanks alot!
Glad you got it sorted 
User ‘calin_balea’ wrote in here about 10 months ago about translating the string RECENT POSTS / VIEW ALL POSTS, and you responded that it wasn’t possible to translate theme options.
I get that (well actually I don’t, as themes from WooThemes have the option to translate theme options), but what I don’t understand about this, is that ‘RECENT POSTS / VIEW ALL POSTS’ is the default text that shows if I don’t fill out the theme options. So that string must be hardcoded somewhere? So why can’t I translate that string?
In the .po file there is a string with the value Recent Posts (ID 381) and I have tried to translate that, but so far I haven’t seen where it goes..
Hey,
I’ve noted to make the default text when nothing is entered in the options panel translatable in the next update – for now open the nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php file and see this section:
$recent_posts_title_text = (!empty($options['recent-posts-title'])) ? $options['recent-posts-title'] :'Recent Posts';
$recent_posts_link_text = (!empty($options['recent-posts-link'])) ? $options['recent-posts-link'] :'View All Posts';
Cheers
Great theme! I’d like to create a custom home page using the Nectar Visual Composer. So I select “default template” from the Page Attributes on my home page. But after setting “Home” as my static front page, there it doesn’t show any content. But if I choose one of the home page templates under Page Attributes, it displays content.
How can create my own custom home page using the visual composer and have it show up as my home page? I want to include portfolio items, blog posts, as well as other content.
Hey,
Since this isn’t a known issue could you kindly open a ticket with your admin credentials in regards so I can take a look? https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Cheers
I’m looking to create a home page like this http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog/
It has the Nectar Slider, a text area, blog posts in Masonry style, a “view the full blog” link. I want almost exactly that but I want to add portfolio items in there as well. How do I set that up?
Hey – those are all elements in the Visual Composer which could be easily added from the page builder. You could also import the dummy data for that setup to get the page – did you ever end up opening a ticket for the issue you were having around setting the home page in settings > reading?
Cheers
I did open a ticket. They disabled all my plugins, reinstalled visual composer and it worked. I have been reenabling plugins again and it seems to be working. Must have been a conflict!
Can you hide the header and footer items on specific pages? Like a checkbox that will head certain parts of each page. Thanks.
Hey – as of now you could use this css in the visual composer page builder css box where desired:
#header-outer, #header-space, #footer-outer {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
I tried the Portfolio and I really love it, but there are things I’d like to modify.
Instead of asking for new features I thought I might be able to use a portfolio html and work around to do the modifications I want. Basically, remove dates and add icons.
I copied my portfolio html into a new post, it doesn’t load the portfolio content, and as I looked inside I tested several CSS classes, and “portfolio-items” is stopping the content and I get a white page.
If I remove portfolio-items, the images show up, no links, no masonry.
Like this: (On top regular portfolio, below, html without portfolio-items class)
http://s22.postimg.org/u5yz3l1fk/Untitled_2.jpgYou think there is a work around for this?
I want to recreate my table at the bottom of this post. http://www.anizeen.com/anime-wisdom/2015-spring/spring-anime-season-2015/Hope you can share some guidance, thanks 
EDIT
This is how my portfolio starts:
<div class="portfolio-wrap ">
<div data-col-num="elastic" data-starting-filter="default" class="row portfolio-items masonry-items constrain-max-cols" style="margin-left: -92px; width: 1176px; visibility: visible; position: relative; height: 801px;" instance="0" /></div>
Hey – there’s an option for hiding the date in portfolio item in the theme options panel > portfolio tab. If you’d also like to add icons I’d recommend you simply do so by modding the file nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php to avoid having to use raw code
But the icons would be for certain items in the portfolio, as you can see in my post. Icons are to point out it is a tv special or a movie.
I searched if I could add a custom class to the item, but can’t find such in the portfolio item. So how could I call for a specific action for some of the images in the portfolio?
That’s why I thought I might be able to use raw code as I did before.
Hope you can give me a hint. Thanks
I was thinking… if there is such thing as “Masonry Item Sizing”, could it be possible to add extra options here and add my CSS to add the icon there?
But I guess that would need more than editing shortcode-processing.php :/
Each portfolio item in a masonry display also has data attributes for which category it belongs to which could be used to target certain items specifically – could you kindly share the URL of the page your portfolio lives on so I can write a sample for you?
Yeah, I tried adding a function and then trying to emulate the regular and wide options for the portfolio, but it was a bit messy and seems I had to edit several files, In the end I was missing something.
I’ll use a gallery script for this particular case, specially because of the icons I want to add to certain images.
thanks!
Ehi!
I used #mobile-menu #mobile-search, header#top nav ul #search-btn { display: none!important; } To disable the search area on header… Now I want it. I deleted the snippet, but nothing happens. How can I enable it?
Thank you so much!
Hey,
Do you have the header search enabled in your header options tab in the Salient options panel? If so please share your URL in regards
Cheers
I feel quite stupid… was that.
Thank you!
You’re welcome 
Hi Salient!
For the site: http://lawgreece.com/
Are the following features available via the dashboard? Where can I find them?
1. How can I put the nectar slider below the menu? The menu alone in the top. The background of the menu should be white.
2. How can I remove the 3 lines on the right top that shows how to maintain the widget area?
3. How to make the 4 icons red inside?
4. Why the line with the text “All people are equal before the law….” moves? I defined no animation!
Thanks
Tania
Hey,
1. You’d need to disable the transparent header option in your theme options panel > header tab
2. You’d need to disable the slide out widget area option in your theme options panel > header tab
3. When editing your icon shortcodes change the size=”large” to size=”large-2”
4. I’m not seeing it move other than the slight bump on hover which is an aspect of using a boxed column
Cheers
???
Sorry for the questions mark above. These are Greek that were destroyed from this page.
The actual message is this:
All of your advices worked fine! Thank you for the reply.
4 more questions: 1. when the cursor movers over the ‘buttons’ of the slider a black ‘veil’ is show and the ‘button’ does not seem to work easily. How can this be fixed?
2. How to enlarge the letters of the menu?
3. Is there a means to stop this ‘slight bumb’ of the boxed column?
4. are there somewhere collected all the shortcodes and their options?
Thank you,
Tania
Question 2 resolved.
Hey,
1. I currently don’t see any buttons in your slider – are you referring to the prev/next arrows?
3. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.col.boxed:hover, .wpb_column.boxed:hover {
top:0!important;
}
4. The shortcode generator can output a shortcode and all available options for it – unfortunately there’s no list in a document if that’s what you meant
Chee
Thank you once more!
Indeed, the buttons on the slider were fixed by their own!
And a final question: how can the color of the menu be set to black?
Rgs, Tania
Hey Tania, in your header options tab of your Salient options panel you can select to use a custom color scheme 
Cheers
Oups, how easy it was! sorry for disturbing… Thank you! It would be more obvious if these options where in check boxes instead of a drop box.
Is it that easy as that to change the color of the letters of the body, as well? in general, to set the color of the headings?
More over, I have twice the copyright in the footer. I know the one time it was me that I set it from footer options. Where from comes the other?
Except the question above, concerning the color of the body/headings,
I have to say I am a bit confused.
I want a different slider in each page. I have created the sliders and I have set the ‘transparent header option in your theme options panel > header tab’ off, as mentioned above. But, I still get the slider under the menu! If I set this option on, some part of the slider is hidden under the menu. Any suggestions?
One more question: is it possible to have a single menu item e.g id=”menu-item-3206” bigger than the others?
Rgs, Tania
