Hi there
I love the transparent header feature
I’d like to alter that so that its not 100% transparent, perhaps only 70% with black being the color for 30%
how could I achieve this easiest?
thanks
and also, would it be possible to have it set on a per page basis? i.e homepage fully transparent while another page being as my above request?
Hey kengw002,
add this into the custom css box in visual composer page builder (it’s the gear icon on the top right) in the page you desire it
html body #header-outer[data-transparent-header="true"].transparent {
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.7)!important;
}
Cheers
ok awesome thanks so much
You’re welcome 
Using ver 5.5.51 and trying to make an icon list like in your demo here http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/features/elements/ – but the icon shortcode doesn’t seem to be working. I set any size, and no icon outputs. If I set it to circle, I will see the circle color, but no icon.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Hey,
Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look

Hey – can you verify that no plugins are causing this?
Hello, I like your slider, but i need a bit more, I have layerslider and tried using it, it does show, but it appears below the menu bar, is it possible to make it look similar to nectar slider and show it below the menu with transparency?
Hope it is possible, thanks!
Hey – there’s an option to force the transparency option in your header options meta box on the bottom of every edit page screen
Cheers
Hey im having some problems overriding the themes default CSS styles. I have tried to override a few but it never seems to change. Can you help me with that? One specific one I am trying to change is the separator with Texts H4 I want that title to be larger. I have some others but thats the one im working on at this momment. Any help would be nice.
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.vc_separator h4 {
font-size: 50px!important;
}
Cbheers
Thanks but that still hasn’t overridden the themes default CSS. Is there something else I can try or should do?
Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
Cheers
Hey – I’m not seeing the css I provided making it on the front of your site, 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/
Yo, any way you guys could throw a rollover/hover image swap shortcode in the next update, that’d be dope.
Thanks.
Hey – thanks for the request
Hey again!:) i have problem with the woocommerce TAX options. I have set the TAX to 19% but it is not showing the correct price. For example:
Preconditions: Tax rate is set to 19%
Actual: 10€ = 1,60€ TAX
Expected: 10€ = 1,90€ TAX
Thats a big problem for the shop :-/. Thanks
Hey,
Have you confirmed that this issue only occurs when Salient is your active theme?
Cheers
Hi i have found the problem…my fault sorry!:-/ but i have a other problem…i have set the WP language to german but woocommerce is still in english:
i hope you can help me
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/
I have checked all the settings and I can not figure out why the buttons are not rendering on mobile with this page: http://bethelcommunity.church/about/about-me-example/ any insight you could give would be fantastic thank you.

Hey,
What mobile device are you using and is it only occurring on that specific page for you?
Cheers
Hey there! I have an iPhone 6 and it is running the current IOS. It is occurring on that page and the leadership page that I created. I can give you the login for that protected page if it helps. Thank you!
Hey! This is what I’m currently seeing on that device: http://i.imgur.com/cNzloI4.png have you been able to replicate it on more than one?
I use salient all the time and have just downloaded the new version where Visual Composer is now separate. I can see a prompt on the Plugins page that says ‘This theme requires the following plugin: Salient Visual Composer’, but I can’t click on it – it’s not a link. when I type Salient Visual Composer into the search bar it doesn’t find anything.
Thanks
Hey,
you can also find the plugin directly in your plugins folder within the theme if you need to manually install
Cheers
Hi Salient
I tend to have a preview folder for a client, then move the finished site to the public_html folder following approval. Moving websites has pretty much been covered here as I have often used the following links:
- http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
- Part 1:2 https://youtu.be/LaPi8wtalbM
- Part 2:2 https://youtu.be/eQy1huU4Q1s
- http://gilbert.pellegrom.me/moving-wordpress-useful-sql-queries/
So basic moving and renaming URL addresses is straight forward, however…
My query is about some code that I am seeing in the database file. At this point I am seeing the Salient Options. There are url’s that need changing in this code and I would like to do this with a general find and replace with the database dump. Within the code however there contains some interesting stuff, such as s:1493:" ...etc...";
Now I understand that the number following the s: is the total number of characters within, so changing a URL string should be updated the character numbers?
Does this make doing a find and replace impossible on a standard database dump? If these numbers don’t match up to the characters does this create an issue?
Cheers
Hey promotem,
the theme options framework Salient uses does indeed add that in so you would need to change the character count if you were including the the options in your find/replace query
Cheers
Hello, I see you can disable single post sidebar as a whole, but what if I just want to disable it on certain posts?
How do I do it? It’s just a few posts where I want to disable this, most themes have this feature to select directly on the Post Configuration, you’d be able to select right sidebar, left sidebar or fullwidth with no sidebars.
But I don’t see such feature after I installed Salient. Where is it? 
Hey,
As of now the easiest way to handle this would be with css – you could this in the custom css box within Visual Composer on the post you need
#post-area {
width: 100%!important;
margin-right: 0!important;
padding-right: 0!important;
}
#sidebar {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
I’ll give it a try, thanks.
You think this feature could be in upcoming releases of the theme? I think it would be awesome and useful for many of us.
I’ve noted it for the wishlist
I gave this code a try, didn’t work, the content is stucked in a box style, and I’m using full width content. The post looks awful.
Without the chance to use right, left or no column, the theme is really incomplete, please add this feature, I really want to use Salient on my site.
http://s15.postimg.org/ytj8c4h0r/Untitled_1.jpgFor this you’d also need to edit the init.js file located in the js folder – modify this line:
if(!$(this).parents('.span_9').length > 0 && !$(this).parent().hasClass('span_3') && $(this).parent().attr('id') != 'sidebar-inner' && $(this).parent().attr('id') != 'portfolio-extra' && !$(this).hasClass('non-fw')){
to this:
if(!$(this).parent().hasClass('span_3') && $(this).parent().attr('id') != 'sidebar-inner' && $(this).parent().attr('id') != 'portfolio-extra' && !$(this).hasClass('non-fw')){
It’s no use doing such modifications over an over, that’s exactly why I’m moving my site to a new theme
Hi there, I’m having trouble displaying some characters like “ç” and “é”. Font turns to bold only on those.. What can I do? Thanks!
Found the solution! enable “Load Ext. Characters in Default Font” in typing. Thanks!
Hey – glad you sorted it
Hi, I have just bought your theme, could you tell me how you create the following:
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/shop/?sidebar=truewhat do I need to do. I have tried but I get a blank side bar.
Thank you
Hey,
There’s an option in the Salient options panel > woocommerce tab to enable the sidebar. Once you’ve enabled this you can populate it in the Appearances > widgets tsb
Cheers
Hi there. I have a few more questions for you to customize the theme I am running.
First, is there a way I can slightly change the layout of the mobile view for a portfolio page? To give you an idea of what I am doing: http://www.seeitchicago.com/portfolio/vikings-invade-the-field-museum/ In the desktop view, there is a video on the left, a description of the video and social buttons on the right. I have a Google map under the video with a street address listed. This is great, that’s how I’d like it to appear. But if you switch over to the mobile view, the description and social buttons are all the way at the bottom. Basically, I would like to have the mobile view have the video, under that, the social buttons and description and then the map/address/whatever is in the visual composer box at the bottom.
Second question pertains to sorting the portfolio. I don’t have project categories set up yet for my portfolio items, but eventually I’m going to have them set up with the categories of food, drink, events, culture, etc etc. Is there a way I can change the text at the top where it says “Sort Portfolio” to “Sort Videos”?
Third question:
Is there a way to get rid of “portfolio” in the permalink? For example, instead of this: http://www.seeitchicago.com/portfolio/margarita-roundup/
Can I make it this: http://www.seeitchicago.com/margarita-roundup/
Or even change “portfolio” to “videos”?
Thanks for your patience.
Hey,
1. The only way to handle this would be to use the full width portfolio layout display option and create your sidebar column in the page builder
2. You can add this into the portfolio tab of your theme options panel
3. You can also use a custom slug that can be set from the same place in your theme options panel
Cheers
Hey, sorry to ask another question but every bit helps.
I am trying to add additional menu icon within the header of the Salient theme. The menu comes from the purchased TapTap plugin. http://codecanyon.net/item/taptap-a-super-customizable-wordpress-mobile-menu/9966828Where would I place the code within the header.php file to do this? I would want it to be next to the search icon.
(And then ultimately I would like to have the Salient icon to not be visible any longer).
Thanks a ton!
Hey,
It would need to go right after this:
<li id="search-btn"><div><a href="#searchbox"><span class="icon-salient-search" aria-hidden="true" /></a></div> </li>in its own list item
Cheers
Sorry if this is a stupid question but do I need to now purchase visual composer to upgrade and keep page layouts?
Hey, VC is included with the theme – if you update to the latest version you’ll have a Salient VC included in the plugins section of your admin panel
I’ve looked everywhere but don’t see how you achieved this: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog/blog-masonry-fullwidth/
Is this configured somewhere other than the blog settings?
The option for that blog style is indeed available in the blog settings, once you select the new style (added in 5.5) you can then choose sizes for each post when editing them
Hi Nectar,
I’ve been planning to use (and purchase!) your theme for another project. So I have some questions:
1.) The look should be dark grey and black with light grey and/or white font color. I’ve seen the custom font options. If I decide to use custom fonts and I want only to change only some of them. Can I leave the the other font options untached or is it necessary to set up all of them? Another great idea would be, that the standard font rules will be shown, if I check the selection to customize the fonts (now nothing is shown and everything seem to be customized).
How about the background color or image in general? Is some CSS required?
2.) Your header options include a secondary menu. How is it possible to include a menu option to select languages with a flag in front of the selector – like your example on the demo page for header options?
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/headers/
3.) The parallax effect does not look good in Chrome (known issue). So is it possible to make a setup like this:
http://theme-fusion.com/avada_demos/fashion/
-> the background image stands “still” – only the content scrolls
4.) We want to use Layer Slider. Is it possible to create a full-width-slider with transparent header like I am able to do with your Nectar Silder?
Example: http://www.bls-bayern.de/
Hey!
1. You can only change them in groupings – but if you wanted just some to change you could target headings individually such as h2’s or h3’s
2. That’s an option that the plugin WPML adds
3. When turning off the smooth scrolling option (which the main demo shows) there should be no issue in chrome
4. There’s an option to force the transparency on a page of your choosing so it should allow it to overlay on top of your first section which could be layerslider
Cheers
1.) Cool, but if I activate the custom font options and only want to change one group (Headings f.e.) – do I have to setup ALL the other fonts groups or is it possible to let the other ones untouched (so they should stay on “default”). I am asking that because there are no default settings after activating the custom font options! That would be a very cool feature, because then you are able to see the default settings of size, color and so on. Now I have to deal with searching on Theme CSS or with chrome console. This would be a huge goal for the workflow (if you only want to increase the size of headings f.e. – it would be nice to know the default size)
2.) Cool
3.) Oh damn, yes!
4.) Cool & easy
THANKS!
Hey again,
if you leave the other groups of fonts untouched they will still use the default settings so it would be easy to change only one to what you need
Cheers
That’s cool – thanks!
You’re welcome
You’re welcome
Hi. I interested your theme but before I purchase your theme. I need to check whether Can your theme show list category of product on the left slide bar and change the design of the left slide-bar eg. color or Hover.
For Example : http://www.armani.com/th/emporioarmani
Hey,
There’s an option to display a left sidebar on pages but it would take custom css to change the hover state to that
Cheers
HI there, I want to use the text logo and I would like the wordpress “Tagline” to appear under the Site Title.
Where in the header file should I add it?
Thanks!
Hey! You’d add
echo get_bloginfo ( 'description' )wherever you desired it to display in the header.php
Hello,
If I wanted to change the style of the “Project Style” for the “title overlaid w/ zoom effect on hover” – would we need to edit the theme code directly, or can I do that as part of the child theme somehow?
What I would like is that on hover, the background remains static, but the text above it (or in our case it would be a logo/image) would zoom in on hover.
How would you approach such a customisation?
Hey,
This would be a but outside the scope of what I could provide, but it could be achieved through css if mods were made (to stop the background zoom and instead zoomed the inner content) Have you checked out Envato studio in regards?
Cheers
Thank you – I was going to engage someone to do this, but just wanted to know the best approach. So you are saying that this is purely CSS for that change?
It would be possible with only css additions, yes
