Felt compelled to say, one of the best themes on here we have been using it on our site for over 6months, easy to update, options are excellent. Good job ThemeNectar!

Hey, thanks so much! :)

Cheers

Hello Nectar team, I am have big trouble with the loading speed of my website with this theme, I had to increase several times the php.ini in order to not get the server error message because it can be loading more than 8sec sometimes. I already asked my hosting provided and check with them that everything is all right. Our images of products are tiny and our catalog in woocommerce is not so big to have this kind of trouble. Is there a way to improve speed? something that I can deactivate? My website is manzanarota.soytutipo.com

Hey,

Use this plugin to minify the theme asstes https://wordpress.org/plugins/bwp-minify/ and try using a caching plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/ to enable browser caching – those two things should help with the speed :)

Cheers

Hello, I’m having an issue with the typography.

I was using the Corporate demo typography and changed a few things to test which fonts we’d like to use. I’m not happy with the fonts I chose and would like to get back to the demo fonts. :)

Is there any easy way to do this that won’t overwrite all of my other options?

Also, now when I make changes to the typography we aren’t seeing any changes so it seems to be stuck. Thanks for your help.

Hey,

The corporate fonts are as follows: http://i.imgur.com/zHJlOaZ.png – as for nothing applying anymore in your settings please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on :) themenectar.ticksy.com/

Cheers

Thank you so much! It worked!

You’re welcome :)

Hey ThemeNectar,

I updated my theme today and it messed up my whole website, please help! it only shows half the pages, I want my website to revert back to what it looked like before the update, this is very urgent as we have customers that book on our website.

Please advise as soon as possible.

Thank you

Ryaz

Hey,

Please share your URL in regards so i can take a look

Cheers

My website is www.maidsinblue.com – I changed my home page temporarily to another page however, if you visit any of the links in footer under: WHERE WE SERVE, you will notice that it just shows the nectar slider, the call to action and the footer. for example, if you go to this link: http://www.maidsinblue.com/airdrie/ you will see it’s missing the whole body of the page. Thanks in advance

Hey, I just checked out all the links in the footer section for “WHERE WE SERVE” and have been able to see all the page content loading. If you’ve tried to clear your cache and are still unable to view it correctly please let me know what browser/OS you’re using

Cheers

canvas menu (both the demo and licence) is error in Edge browser(New design browser).

this is url:

Hey, for now you could remove the blur by adding this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:

.blurred-wrap.blurred {
 filter: none!important;
}

Cheers

good!!! it’s working well~ thank you~~

You’re welcome :)

Hi there, I am having problem on some css issues. its quite strange that some of the css works if I put it on child theme, but some don’t. but when I put them inside theme > using the dashboard. it works? Any suggestion.

The css loaded in the custom css box gets placed further down in the document head so it would more easily overwrite values than the child theme – if you’re having issues gettings rules to work in the child theme make them more specific – adding body to the beginning of them is one easy way or using !important

to me.. it doesn’t make sense… what’s the point of having child theme.. when some of the code still needs to go inside the theme option…

It doesn’t – I’m simply explaining why that could be occurring with some of your rules. Without seeing the site URL and an example of one of your css rules that isn’t applying that’s the best suggestion I can provide though.

Question about the Search…

On one of the Salient Example pages, the Search box looks like this: http://www.unionfoundry.co/?s=lana On my Product pages, the Search box looks like this: http://www.unionfoundry.co/mercantile/makers/lana/blush-blossom-yarn/

I didn’t edit the templates—I just am using everything straight of Salient, so I don’t know why it would be different.

Any help for me?

Thank you so, so much!

Hey,

1. The results on here http://www.unionfoundry.co/?s=lana match the styling of what should be – could you link the demo page where you’re seeing the other layout?

2. Could you also kindly link the URL where you have the shopping widget in use so I can check o nit for you?

Cheers

I put two links. This one on the product page is where it is not matching the Styling: http://www.unionfoundry.co/mercantile/makers/lana/blush-blossom-yarn/

Second: If you go to the same link I just gave and add a product to the cart, you will see this weird Circle and “X” art/icon. It’s very odd.

You will see it in the Widgets on the side bar on the product pages.

?Hi, i just tried to make a megamenu with three columns. Tried just entering “megamenu” in the css class of the menu, then trying “megamenu columns-3” but it displays weird. I think it’s a bug or something with the last version.

Hey again!

Try adding this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:

body header#top nav>ul>li.megamenu>ul>li {
    display: block!important;
    float: left!important;
}

Cheers

It got solved with that CSS code.

Thank you very much!

Glad to hear :)

I just updated the theme and my main photo disappeared. : http://roberthazelrigg.com/

Hey, have you tried clearing your cache? I’m currently seeing all images loading on that page

Cheers

I got it all back… but it was a hassle

Please let me know what did to get the header to display as I still haven’t been able to replicate the issue

Cheers

Hi,

How can we change the price text colour.

THANKS!

1. I figured out the price text color

2. How to Change woocomerce sidebar background & text colour (right) http://www.gboots.com.my/product-category/gaerne-boots/mx-offroad/

Hey,

2. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:

.woocommerce div#sidebar {

Hi,

I’ve just update the theme but get the following message:

Your theme (Salient) contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files. These files may need updating to ensure they are compatible with the current version of WooCommerce. You can see which files are affected from the system status page. If in doubt, check with the author of the theme.

Also my woo commerce products are not aligned properly (it shows 1 product on a row then the next row shows 2 products then the third row shows 1 product). Is this issue going to be fixed?

Hey, the current Salient (7.0.9) sorts the WooCommerce issues – if you’ve updated already have you tried clearing your cache? Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a further look?

Cheers

Hi,

Please take a look at this page: http://www.51waysdemos.co.uk/petcheckers/?page_id=5

I have a row for mobile view that I’ve hidden on desktop view but it’s leaving a big gap of white space under the tiles.

Here’s an image to show you what I mean: http://www.petcheckers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Untitled-1.jpg

How do I remove this white space?

Thanks

Excellent, that worked, thanks.

I’m having the same issue now with a row for table only view, leaving some more white space.

Whats the css for tablet only view?

Thanks

Also for computer view only too?

Thanks

Hey,

/*desktop*/
@media only screen and (min-width: 1025px) {

}
/*tablet*/
@media only screen and (max-width: 1025px) and (min-width: 690px) {

}
/*phone*/
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {

}

Hi, I’m having an issue with the header in salient. I can’t get it to stay at the top of the page and disappear when scrolling down the page, well it does disappear, but when I scroll all the way down to the bottom it appears again. I’ve tried the following code: #header-outer, #header-space { position: absolute !important; }

but it’s not working. The website is on the following link: http://tribenation.jamrockdesign.uk

please can you help; thank you.

Hey,

The hide header until needed effect behaves like that normally – as seen on the demo themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate/

To stop it from showing again at the footer add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:

body[data-hhun="1"] #header-outer.detached {
    display: none;
}

Cheers

Hi,

My website is very slow, and since it is an eccomerce website the speed greatly impacts conversions.

I contacted my hosting provider and they assured me that it is nothing on their end. I tried many things to speed up the website (optimization, reducing image size, multiple plugins, etc) with no success.

Im beginning to think that the speed of the website simply can not be sped up. Is there any way you can help me to speed up my website ?

my URL is varanno.com :)

Hey, so I didn’t get a reply yet. Did you guys look into to it ?

Also, if you take a look the “ecommerce” demo, right under the big slider there are 4 image rows that have a zoom effect when you hover over them, and when clicking on them lead you to a different part of the website.

Ive tried to apply that same look to my website but could not quite figure it out. How exactly would i do this and is it possible to have 3 or even 2 rows instead of 4?

Hello ThemeNectar, just upgraded the latest release of WooCommerce from the buggy 2.6.0 to the latest 2.6.1 today and a message popped up:

“Your theme (Salient) contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files. These files may need updating to ensure they are compatible with the current version of WooCommerce. You can see which files are affected from the system status page. If in doubt, check with the author of the theme.”

Just wanted to address in case anyone else has this issue.

Hey, the update for Salient (7.0.9) is available now and contains the fix for this :)

Great, thank you!

Super duper quick e-commerce questions:

1) all of my product pages are only populating on half the page both on store front, related products, and category pages… not sure how this is controlled. When I select full width content setting in the woocommerce setting section under salient options the products expand beyond the visible part of the page.

2) How do I set a parallax image type on the category page like you have on your demo?

Thanks so so so much!

Hey!

1. This is an issue created in WooCommerce 2.6+ – the update for Salient that fixes this is also now available (7.0.9)

2. You can set them by editing the category in Posts > Categories in your admin panel. There’s a field for “Category Header Image”

Hi,

How do I make the the size of the classic style blog posts all the same height? Based on the image they are all at variable height and I dont want to change to classic enhanced.

Also, is there a way to make the font size bigger where it says the category for the recent posts slider?

Thanks, Jacob

So I need a max height for the classic posts and a way to enlarge the font of the cateogrys in the featured articles section within the recent posts slider

Hey,

Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:

body .nectar-recent-posts-slider .container .strong span {
    font-size: 16px;
}

Unfortunately there’s no good way to have the classic masonry posts be all the same height – this is exactly what the classic enhanced was designed for though. Is there any reason you don’t want to use it?

Cheers

I am embedding a video using ightbox. The original source of the video is HTTPS. But, when you play it on the front end of the site and through the functionally of lightbox it is stripping the S from HTTPS. My site is then blocking the video. Is there a way to force HTTPS playback of video?

Hey, which lightbox script do you have set in your Salient options panel > general settings?

Cheers

I had Pretty Photo but didnt know you can change it until you mentioned that… #facepalm Thanks, working now!

Glad that sorted it for you :)

Hello :) is it possible to create a sort bar for a blog feed similarly to a portfolio feed? Would love to give the sorting effect to my feed!

Hey, unfortunately as of now this wouldn’t be possible without some custom development but i’ve noted your +1 for the idea :)

Latest upgrade to Woocommerce has caused major issues with your product shortcode and shop page layouts…only showing one column when trying two columns…?

also can’t go to checkout when hitting “Proceed to checkout” button when on Cart page.

update please

Hey, these are issues created in WooCommerce 2.6+ – the update for Salient that fixes them is also now available (7.0.9)

Cheers
