Hey!
Please update to version 4.0.2 .
You can update your theme by downloading a fresh copy from ThemeForest, deleting the current version you have on your server and uploading the new.
It's recommended that you use FTP, but this also can be done with the WP dashboard if you prefer. The reason FTP is superior for this is because the theme won't have to be deactivated during the process so you won't have to reassign your widgets. If you're
interested in keeping up to date with the latest changes and fixes, please refer to the <a href="http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html">changelog </a>
Also, remember to clear your browser cache after each update if you notice anything off. Old theme files can persist in your local cache and make you think something's wrong.
Thank you. I have now updated to 4.0.2, and it has fixed the transparency on all of my relevant pages except the homepage. I even created a new page called home-new, but still cannot get the header to be transparent. Can you please tell me why these pages are responding differently?
I'm just getting everything set up and cannot get the header to go transparent in 4.0.3, even when installing fresh from dummy data and using the theme options sample. The background is always white. Any ideas?
I was using the Home Slider (left main menu in WP admin), but if I use another template, e.g. the Home Landing Page, with the Nectar slider, it works as expected.
This was pretty confusing why there are two home sliders (Home Slider, and Nectar), and templates that show one or the other. Maybe a little clarification in the docs, videos, or even the admin options would be helpful.
The Home Slider is only around now for legacy users and for users who prefer the design over the Nectar Slider - the Nectar Slider is a lot more powerful/versitale since it's been getting constant development since v2.0 when it was released. Sorry for the confusion!
I'm still having this issue with my "Home" page not showing the transparent slider. I may have a clue for you: My landing page is currently set to my page entitled "Home." As I mentioned, this does not show the transparent header. However, if you then add "/home" to the address, it shows the page with the transparent header.
Please update to Theme version 4.0.3 . We had a transparent header bug in earlier version .

Well, I just updated from 4.0.2 to 4.0.3 and it did nothing to help the header. This was a big waste of time since I again have to find and add my unrelated custom css to the new style sheet. You have my credentials above. I've asked many times for you to please tell me why the "Home" page is acting differently. Please take a look at my site when get the chance.
Hey Eric, I just logged in and found the issue - you had the row set to full width content but the slider not set to fullwidth inside - upon checking that option the transparent header activated :)
I've noted to sort that out for the next release incase others find themselves in that predicament as well.
Fatima - Add this into the custom css box in your salient options panel:
I cannot get the header to be transparent.
I have the Nectar Slider on the top of the page and enabled transparency in the header settings, but it still will not work.
Please let me know what can be done.

I'm curious on this as well...
I just purchased the theme... and have a nectar slider on my home page... but the header will not be transparent.
Update... with the addition of a 4th slider... the header became transparent :-)
Glad you got it sorted :) .

I did some more searching, and I think this is the answer: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/189838/

Is there any way to change the opacity on the transparent header? I want it somewhere in between....? thanks!
