I am trying to create an archive page for a custom post type, and have followed the standard practise of making a archive-[custom-post-type].php (in my case: archive-medarbejder.php). I am using a child-theme, so I obviously placed the file in the child-theme folder. But somehow it is not being recognized.
The child-theme is activated, and I am able to edit other parts of my site using this theme, so I don’t understand why the archive page is not being recognized.
Hey,
have you verified that it’s only not taking effect when Salient is the active theme?
Cheers
You mean I should try with another theme (such as twenty-fifteen), or with Salient as the active theme (not using my current child-theme)?
Yes, just to confirm that something in Salient in stopping it from taking effect for you
Hi, nice theme! Is it possible to make the header with the menu one solid color, so that it doesn’t blend with the backgroundimage/video?

Hi! #1 – What’s the best way to add custom javascript and stylesheet files into Salient? New to wordpress. I saw an article that mentioned “wp_register_script” but not sure where to put any of it (article: http://code.tutsplus.com/articles/how-to-include-javascript-and-css-in-your-wordpress-themes-and-plugins--wp-24321 ) #2 – I then need to add some custom javascript, I read that I just edit the init.js file – can I do this through FTP / code editor or is there a section in the wordpress admin panel to do this? Thanks!
Hey – I would recommend registering and enqueuing them in a child theme child functions.php file. This way you can keep all your custom files outside of the parent theme so you won’t lose them during updates
Hi guys, how do i increase the width of the slideout menu? Heres my url: http://logsexec.wpengine.com/
#slide-out-widget-area {
width: 500px!important;
}
you’ll also have to adjust the 300px currently set in the init.js file located in the js folder (search for Slide Out Widget Area to end up at the right section)
Quick question regarding logo resizing on the responsive setting. I’ve uploaded all my logos, however when the window shrinks to mobile size the logo magnifies by 267%. How can I disable that?
Here is the live example: http://blissofspringhill.com/test/
Any help would be appreciated
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 1px) {
body header#top #logo img {
height: 12px!important;
margin-top: 10px!important;
}
}
Cheers
Thanks so much!
You’re welcome
Hi. How do you change the font size of the Portfolio Category labels? I enter this in the Salient Options panel, but it didn’t seem to do anything:
body #portfolio-filters-inline .container > ul li#sort-label { font-size: 16px!important; }
Thanks!
Hey,
Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look as to why that’s not working for you?
Cheers
Is there a way to send you a private message? In this case the site is password protected. Thank you
You could do so here https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Great template.
I would love to be able to turn “the call to action button” to activate “the Slide Out Widget Area” is this possible?
thanks Gareth
Hey Gareth,
as of right now this would require modding the init.js file in regards – change this line:
$('body').on('click','.slide-out-widget-area-toggle a.closed:not(.animating)',function(){
to this:
$('body').on('click','.slide-out-widget-area-toggle a.closed:not(.animating), #call-to-action .container a',function(){
Cheers
Hello,
I searched but could not find the answer. How do you remove the logo on the sticky header? I would just like the menu to be there when the header resizes.
thanks!
Tim
Hey Tim,
add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.small-nav #logo {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
Hi
Is it possible to add a popup over the search icon e.g. search for products?
Thanks for an amazing theme
Hey! This would require modding the theme files as of now unfortunately
Cheers
Hi, I am trying to create custom page templates and I have successfully created a couple. They show on my server but not on the dropdown menus when I try to edit pages and when I go to Appearance > Editor > Salient, the custom templates don’t exist. I am using a child theme. I need to create a custom template and then modify it so it is clean, without navigation bar or footer. Please help
Hey,
could you kindly open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at the setup? https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Cheers
Where does the visual composer save page templates? I’d like to use one of my templates saved from my localhost to my website without having to migrate the entire website.
Thanks!
All of a sudden the ‘sort portfolio’ button has gone (www.s-licious.nl/ons-werk/)...:-( Before there was a button with a dropdown menu displaying all the portfolio categories at the right side of the page.
I don’t know what caused this issue, but the fact is I didn’t succeed in resolving it. Anyone?
Hey,
I’m currently getting a forbidden error message on that page – could you verify that it’s publicly visible?
Cheers
Done! The URL to the page: http://www.asombro.nl/ons-werk/.
I think the issue has something to do with changing the text ‘More details’ and ‘View larger’ of the work info in the file shortcode-processing….Is that possible?
It seems you have old markup in there – the current releases changed that nav to use a class instead of an ID. Could you kindly verify that the structure you have matches that of a current version downloaded from ThemeForest?
Cheers
Last weekend I automatically updated the Salient theme with the Envato toolkit. That means that the markup should be up to date.
Is it possible that you send me the right markup for this file?
Sure – could you kindly open a ticket at https://themenectar.ticksy.com in regards?
Cheers
Something very simple but I’m new on Wordpress and I can go through all the menus I don’t find the solution : I just want to change the background color of my blog. Right now it’s white and I would like to use a background picture, like in your demo blog! Thanks !
Hey,
Are you talking about the main blog page which displays a list of posts or are you referring to a single post page? Could you kindly share the URL in regards of the page you’re trying to alter so I can assist
Cheers
Hello there ThemeNectar!
I am wondering if it is possible to have blog posts shown on a page in the same way as the masonry portfolio grid? For example like on this page:
http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266Would like to have the main photo and the titles shown from the blog post but I cannot find a way of doing this easily.
Appreciate your time, thanks in advance!
Hey,
Could you kindly provide a link again starting from the main theme demo outside the theme forest iframe so I can see which page you’re talking about? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave
Cheers
Hello,
May I know how I can resize the products page to give more space to the product image and less to the description?
Talking about this page: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce/product/blue-dress/
Hey – could you kindly provide a quick mockup screenshot depicting what you’re trying to achive
Heres a mockup – http://postimg.org/image/4n92jrnef/
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.single-product-main-image {
width: 70%!important;
}
.single-product-summary {
width: 24%!important;
}
That worked perfectly. I asked the same thing on your official support website and this was the response:
“I am afraid i dont have any code snippets available as this would require custom work. Please consider hiring a freelancer for these theme customizations.”
Hey,
Glad that sorted it for you – i’m apologize the support tech didn’t know the snippet
Cheers
Hello,
May I know how you have linked the portfolio thumbnails displayed under the main slider http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce/ to go to product pages?
Hey,
You can use the Visual composer image gallery element in regards for this – simply choose the portfolio style you desire
Cheers
Once I select the portfolio style how do I link them to product pages like you have, instead of portfolio pages?
In the Add images modal window there’s an input for Image URL in the bottom right hand side: http://i.imgur.com/ay7FgDC.jpg
I am unable to find that. Where can I access the Add Images modal from? Once the image is selected as a portfolio Featured image, what needs to be done next?
It’s inside of the image gallery element within visual composer: http://i.imgur.com/JyzzkeJ.png
HI Guys
If i want to use custom colours for the social media icons colours at the top what css would i use? as currently its using the accent colours.
Thanks
Hey,
You’d need to target each one individually and change the color with css via a child theme style.css or within the custom css box in the Salient options panel
Cheers
hi, if im not using the child theme and wanted to target the facebook icon?
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
#header-secondary-outer #social li a i.icon-facebook {
color: #2792ff!important;
}
Cheers
Hello again friend! Hope all is well!
Is there any possible way to get the old Theme Nectar Visual Composer page builder interface back? How it used to be when it was gray when you originally built it?
I can’t stand using the regular VC ux/ui.
Thanks for your help!!!
Hey!
Unfortunately the only way to use the old version of VC would be to use an older release of the theme prior to 5.5 Cheers
Is below version 5.5 compatible with the latest version of WP and WooCom?
Also, is there any way to get the VC widgets you originally had in the interface to show up in the pop up?
Hey,
1. There would need to be a change added into the functions.php file to remove known issue of the duplicating checkout buttons in the cart
2. The VC elements haven’t changed – could you kindly provide a screenshot with what you’re seeing?
Do you know by chance how to use Visual Composer’s Video feature to add a specific url (which I don’t know at this point) to make it so that the Vimeo video auto starts?
The problem with using the Vimeo HTML auto start code is that the sizing of the video will vary from desktop and mobile and won’t look right on mobile.
Do you by chance know of a solution for this?
Thank you
Hey,
The video element in VC and a raw video embed should still have the same responsive sizing – could you kindly share a test URL showing the difference you’re seeing when using both methods?
Cheers
I used the RAW HTML and it worked. Thank you for responding though
Glad to hear
Thanks again for the prompt reply
