Hey, I love the “Touch Enabled & Space” Image Gallery layout/design. However I don’t like that you can drag the slider on desktop. Also there is an error when used in conjunction with PrettyPhoto, where dragging/swiping the image opens it up in Pretty photo.
How do I remove the swipe feature on desktop? Or only enable it on touch devices.
Additional Question here! 
How do I allow people to zoom in on my images? Or make PrettyPhoto open a large image?
Hey,
1. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width:1000px) {
.flickity-enabled.is-draggable {
pointer-events: none!important;
}
}
2. Are you talking about arbitrary images on pages or still within the touch enabled gallery?
Cheers
Thanks for that ?
I’m talking about the touch enabled gallery – The arbitrary images on pages are fine.
Cheers
In that case the above css snippet I provided won’t be the solution you need since it stops all interaction. Instead you’ll need to edit the init.js file located in the js folder. Search for flickityInit and edit the draggable parameter
Cheers
Anyone else finding that the recent update has caused a huge Salient logo to be watermarked across the backend of Wordpress? I’ve got a full licensed theme, but I can’t find whereabouts to re-enter the license key – at least, I’m assuming that’s what the update has broken…
Hey, you just need to clear your cache
Cheers
Hi, there wasn’t any caching enabled prior to the update (I was using Jetpack – but couldn’t find a ‘clear cache’ there). I’ve now added the WP Super Cache plugin – but of course there’s no cache there for it to delete… and it’s almost impossible to do anything as the Salient logo which is covering much of the screen is also clickable. Any other methods to get rid of this? I’ve got full access to the hosting directory if there’s anything I can scratch from there.
I wasn’t referring to clearing cache from any plugins or services, just simply the browser cache. If you’ve already done that and still are seeing the large logo then it sounds like you may have had an incomplete update. In which case kindly open a ticket in regards https://themenectar.ticksy.com with your admin credentials so I can see
Hey, got a serious problem here and its driving me nuts. 
barefootfitness.co.nz
just moved to hostpapa server from local host. its loading footer and header as you can see but no content.
if i disable the visual composer plugin the shortcode page content appears.
so i updated the theme, deleted the VC plugin, then reinstalled it. same problem is happening.
plllllllease help me figure this out. client wants it up and running now. the host has no idea whats wrong. what do i do>?
the content is all there in my page composer/page editor. but on the frontend; nothing…
Hey – i’m currently seeing a full page of content on that URL, have you fixed the issue since posting?
hey, yeh the useless fucking cunts over at hostpapa changed some ‘security feature’, ie some pointless server config, and that allowed me to resave the permalinks, which in turn seems to have fixed everything… a very odd and frustrating process. just a question for my next migration with this theme. do i have to save the VC settings or anything before I move the site? or can i just move the site normally as per the usual process.
Hey, glad you got it sorted out at least. When switching locations, you don’t need to do anything extra for visual composer
Cheers
For some reason the google maps on my page are not showing up. When you first page that has a map it loads. When you go to a different page that has a map it does not show up unless you manually refresh the page. I tested it out and have the same issue on Google Chrome, Safari and Firefox. Running the most recent version of salient and Wordpress 4.4.2 – or whatever the latest version is. I just updated it yesterday.
My url is www.johncashin.com if you want to check it out. Go to the menu and click the sold listings dropdown in the header. Go to one property. Then go to a different one and then another one. You will see the map loads on the first page but not subsequent pages.
This does not happen on an older version of the site www.jcashinorg.fatcow.com which is running an older version of wordpress and older version of salient.
Hey – kindly try switching your page transition method from AJAX to the standard one in you options panel
Cheers
Thanks ThemeNectar that solved the problem.
Glad to hear
I feel kind of dumb, but I can’t seem to find how to edit the font of the page submenu… help?
Hey – it simply pulls the family from the body, to alter it separately use this in the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
body .page-submenu li a {
font-family: 'your-family';
}
Hi there!
7.0.6 seems to have solved the issue with the home page particles displaying all text at once, but it doesn’t seem to have fixed the mobile menu issue where the top menu item is not responding if the user doesn’t scroll down the page slightly.
The menu item darkens slightly when tapped signifying that it is receiving the tap/click, but the page doesn’t load or respond. If you scroll down the page slightly, suddenly it does respond.
Hey – could you share the URL again now that you’ve updated so I can review it once more?
Cheers
No problem! It should still be listed on Ticket #651441
I just updated to 7.0.6 but I can’t find the new corporate demo dummy data in the themeforest zip file. Is it not included or am I missing it somewhere?
All of the available demos are available to import from the options panel now
How do I reset. I thought it would just import dummy data not completely reconfigure my site!
Unfortunately unless you saved your theme options prior there’s no easy way of reverting – there’s a note in the top of the demo importer that states this “Works best to import on a new install of WordPress. If you’re not using a fresh install, make sure you backup your current theme options as they will be overwritten.”
Can you please help me?
Please let me know what browser you’re seeing this occur on as I’ve yet to experience that on Chrome/Firefox on Windows with your provided URL
I found out it happens in combination with Ninja Kick Panel plugin. I am afraid I have to contact the author of this plugin. I have deactivated it, this is why you could not see it any more.
Gotcha, i’ve noted to test with that as well
Hello—it looks like, on Edge, the portfolio titles are off to the left, and not centered.
http://www.baeng.us/Or:
Is there any CSS I can add to fix this?
Thank you!
Hey – simply turn on the constrain max columns to 4 option in your portfolio element inside of the page builder
Hello-
I tried updating the theme a couple weeks ago and ran into a couple problems. I’v just tried again with this update and am having the same problems. This is my first time making a child theme, and hopefully I haven’t screwed things up too much between the main css, child theme css, and the custom in-theme css.
- The logo doesn’t show up over the slider image. As soon as you scroll and the header bar becomes visible, the logo appears. But it’s just a white rectangle with text otherwise.
- Portfolio items are not appearing at all. On the home page near the bottom, and at http://jkcarriere.com/the-wines/current-offerings/
Hovering over where they should be reveals that they are “there”, but invisible.
Thanks for your help!
Okay, fixed the logo problem, but the portfolio is baffling me.
Even if I try to make a new portfolio from existing portfolio items, it won’t display the thumbnail grid. I have a feeling I made some kind of adjustment to a php file or the functions, and the update broke it.
I have a feeling it has something to do with a portfolio php file or the functions, but I’m slightly out of my league here.
woot! fixed the portfolios. My fault for copying more than necessary to child style.css. Now if I could only get my logo to appear on mobile…
Sorry for junking up the comments.
Hey – glad to hear you sorted everything out
Cheers
Hi there, how would I go about updated my already installed and live theme without all our content vanishing, or the website breaking? Thanks.
Hey,
you can use the Envato Toolkit plugin https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-update-themeforest-themes-with-the-envato-wordpress-toolkit/
Cheers
Hi there,
The Envato Toolkit Plugin isn’t currently working, it’s coming up with “SSL connect error”, any suggestions as I really would like to update this theme.
At the moment our “portfolio” page isn’t loading any content, the loader just spins.
Did you end up updating first before the issue started occurring? In any case, please share your URL in regards so I can see what’s causing it
No, I wanted to update to try and fix this error. Link: http://www.purplepandamedia.com/our-work/
Hey,
it looks like on of your plugins might be causing this. Please try deactivating third party ones one by one to find the culprit
I’ve gone through and deactivated everything that the theme doesn’t require and it’s partially fixed, when you hover over an item it now changes to purple however the click to view more button doesn’t. Could you take a look?
Are you on the current version of the theme? If not try using the portfolio element inside of Visual Composer instead of the portfolio page template
Hello, I’m using the current version of the theme. I have no portfolio option within VC?
Please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look for you https://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Cheers
Done, Private Ticket #697035
Hey – it seems you’re not using the Salient version of VC, you’d need to deactivate your current version of VC and then install the theme one in Appearance > install plugins.
Thanks, switched it over however it seems like custom rows dont work 
Hey – could you provide an example of what you mean by custom rows on one of your pages?
Sure, on this page http://www.purplepandamedia.com/print/ I have the first section set to be 2/3 for the text box, then 1/3 with the contact form. as you can see it’s not displaying like that and isn’t on any page.
Hey – do you have any server side caching active? I’m seeing on all pages but the home page it’s trying to load visual composer stylesheets from the old destination, which hasn’t been present in the theme for over a year
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://www.purplepandamedia.com/wp-content/themes/salient/wpbakery/js_composer/assets/js/js_composer_front.js?ver=3.7.3 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)Also, when you updated to the current version of the theme did you make sure to delete the old version first?
Hello, sorry just got round to sorting this out. I removed the old version of the theme, however when installing and activating the new version none of the plugins have come packaged. As a result I don’t have the VC etc. How do I fix this asap?
Managed to get the majority of things working again. However there are still a few issues that I have since updating.
1. The widgets work correctly on the homepage footer, however they don’t transfer across internal pages. Instead they show the “click here to assign a Widget” text.
2. The portfolio still doesn’t display the hover text correctly, which makes it hard for users to find that there are additional options for them.
3. Page layout formatting is still is not working correctly, for example when I select 3/4 + 1/4 it puts all the content form the first section on one line, and the content from the second section below.

Heyyyy awesome $alient Fam!! I’m looking to buy another company of your WP insanity later today for a new client, just curious if we’d be able to put an autoplay looping mp4 in the header background and be able to adjust view height? pls let me know n will purchase! Luv Yall’s Total Rockiness!!
Hey,
You can use a video BG in the page header section and also set the height like so http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/about/about-us-extended/
Cheers!
Awesome, n just purchased another copy of $alient!
Woot woot!
Cheers!
I want to make only ONE page on my website to have transparent header. Please send me the CSS to add to the options panel. Thanks! And superb theme! Great job!
Hey – you can use the force/disable transparent header checkboxes available at the bottom of every edit page screen when you have that effect turned on in the options panel
heyho, could you please update your Compatible With and Software Version that everybody knows if one can update wp and wc
Hey – WooCommerce 2.5.x isn’t available yet to select from on TF but I will as soon as it is
Cheers
Hey! Any way of displaying the Prev and Next buttons with the ‘touch enabled and spaced’ slider?
Cheers!
Joe
Hey! As of now that would take custom development unfortunately
Yoast SEO: Is it possible that Salient does not support the well know Yoast SEO plugin? It seems that the visual composer content is not forwarded to their analyses page. Is that correct?
Are you using the latest Salient VC – 4.9.2?
How do I include a Steam icon to link to a Steam Group in the social footer section?
Hey – that would require modding to the footer.php file in a child theme
Cheers
Hi,
I hope your well. What is the font that is used in the new corporate demo? My font is still set up in Open sans. Is there a way to upload the font so it changes and looks like the corporate demo site? Or once i know the font do I have to change it by manual doing it in the Salient theme pannel.
Many thanks
Hey, the two primary fonts used are Hind in the boldest weight and Varela Round
Cheers
Hi,
We’re working on a chlid theme for Salient with custom Look and Feel etc. One of the things we are doing is changing the following file: /nectar/assets/functions/ajax-search/wp-search-suggest.php
Changing the search array to:
$search_array = array(
's'=> $search_term,
'showposts' => $show_postsnum,
'post_type' => 'questions',
'post_status' => 'publish',Basically setting a custom post type “questions” instead of the default which is “any”. We’re trying to do this without editing the core code of the theme, but unable to? Is it possible or are we trying the impossible with a salient child theme?
Hey,
as of now this wouldn’t be possible since you’d need to edit this line in the functions.php of the parent
require_once(‘nectar/assets/functions/ajax-search/wp-search-suggest.php’);
I’ve noted to make that child theme compatible though
Cheers
Particle Canvas: There is something I do not get. I saw your demo page and there is particle image is responsive, the title and subtitle never overlay the particle image but I can not see how to set this up like that. I use an image 500×500px for the particle and I typed in title and subtitle but it is overlaying the particle image depending on the hight of the viewport. How can I get the setup that I see on your demo page?
fixed. I think it was because I did not leave any space around the logo. Now I did and it works much better.
Glad you figured it out – I also cover this in the tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrIlw4-brCg
There are still issues for me. I have created this ticket #662302, maybe you can check this. In addition to what I wrote in the ticket, I still see that the particle logo goes behind the title and subtitle. It depends on what type of header you use and on viewport size. When I used 3D flip, it went mostly behind the text. maybe you can check that out, too?
