The home slider is hidden by the footers. It can be partially seen, as a sliver, on the edge of the browser and if the browser is narrowed so that only 2 of the footers appear, the entire home slider appears.
You can use the following custom CSS to fix this issue. Please go to Salient > General Settings > CSS/ Script Related and enter the following under the "Custom CSS Code" section:
it worked to put the home slider up but the browser cannot scroll down to bottom of the page. Also there is a boarder that was in a child theme that has since been delete and I no longer want it. I have cleared the cache. I want to use the boarder that you now code in salient
Thanks for your patience. I have the template Home - Slider only. Default template shows nothing.
I made a new home page and added the Nectar slider.
But now I am having a different problem with the home page. https://swhr.wpengine.com/ Below the slider and a text box there is a huge blank space before the footers appear.
Could you try testing for a plugin conflict. You can do this by deactivating all third party plugins, and seeing if the problem remains. If it’s fixed, you’ll know a plugin caused the problem, and you can narrow down which one by reactivating them one at a time.
Thanks for getting back to us and my apologies for the trouble. Could you try removing the code I gave you previously. Then clear all the caches installed on your site and server and check back to see if that helps.
thank you. this does help, but I suspect that the slider is not the best place to host this type of youtube video. I think i will be better on the about page or at least a different page.
I have the home page working pretty well, but how do I turn off the parallax on that page and a few other pages. Do I need to get more templates. Always a pain to rebuild anything

The template is default.
thank you.
Hey there,
Thanks for reaching in,
Can you please provide a link to your website so we can replicate this on our side.
Regards
the website is being updated on http://swhr.wpengine.org.
The original site swhr.org uses a very old version of Salient and was on php 4.6
there are other problems with it, so I moved it to wpengine.org and I am having trouble with the home page.
I have inactivated many of the plugin I had to use on the older version, but I would like to use the home slider on this one.
thanks.
Do you need a login
sorry http://swhr.wpengine.com

Hey Again,
Try using the Nectar Slider instead: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/sliders/ as the Home Slider is deprecated .

I made a new home page and added the Nectar slider.
But now I am having a different problem with the home page. https://swhr.wpengine.com/ Below the slider and a text box there is a huge blank space before the footers appear.
What setting do I need to get rid of that space. I also have that space on other pages as well. https://swhr.wpengine.com/about/history/
Thank you
Hey Again,
Seeing some console errors : http://prntscr.com/h4cun1 .

I only have the Salient Visual Composer activated and I still have the extra space
The conflicting plug in has been removed from the plug ins.

Let us know what happens.

That worked. I should have figured it out myself. I am now using the nectar slider but I have a different issue.
On the home slider the youtube video (enter as embedded coding) allows a button to be used to give a message.
But the Nectar slider says to use the caption. However I cannot make the video sit on the left and the and the header on the right
Here is a visual of the two sliders videos
Hey Again,
Adjust the max-width as per you liking .
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel (Make Sure there are no red cross in the Box) :
.swiper-slide[data-x-pos="left"] .content p .iframe-embed { max-width: 350px !important; height: auto !important; }Thanks

Hi there,
Thank you for getting back to us.
You can disable the parallax in the Nectar Slider settings as shown below:
As it relates to templates, you can add them via the Salient Studio from your Page Builder:
