RE Salient typography panel
Hello, does the typography settings panel only accept google fonts?? I added a font via @font-face and instead of changing the fonts via CSS everywhere i wanted it changed, i was hoping to just add it into the typography field. But it only seems to take the system fonts!
Hey vergedesign,
Where did you add it into list? If you wanted the name of a custom font to appear in the list you’d need to mod it into nectar/redux-framework/options-config.php file

Hi there, is there an easy way to add meta data like comments or an external link to a lightbox image? Im using the portfolio Visual Composer element, set to LightBox Only so that the image expands into full view. I would like to add some text and a link to credit the image owner and link to their site.
Hey JamesMcComb,
In the media section of your admin panel when you click on the image, there’s a section on the right hand side that will allow you to add extra text, the “description” field
Cheers
Thank you.
You’re welcome 
For some reason I can’t overwrite the woocommerce category page layouts. I’ve tried implementing two pages archive-product.php and taxonomy-product_cat-separates.php where separates is my category name and for some reason it continues to use the default salient category page. Can you please tell me why this is? I tested switching to twentyfifteen and it worked immediately. I’m using a child theme as well if that makes any difference.
So I found this and it looks like it’s the problem
http://docs.woothemes.com/document/third-party-custom-theme-compatibility/ Please note: when creating woocommerce.php in your theme’s folder, you won’t be able to override the woocommerce/archive-product.php custom template as woocommerce.php has the priority over archive-product.php. This is intended to prevent display issues.Is there any way to get around this using salient?
Hey byronjt,
As of now the woocommerce.php file would need to be removed from the theme folder in order to get around it, but i’ve noted to remove it as well and implement the Salient markup in another way
Cheers
Hi Themenectar,
Is there a possibility to have a custom order for displaying the portfolio items, instead of ordering them by date by default.
Hey,
yes – you can use this plugin in regards https://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/
Cheers
Hi Themenectar,
Just wanted to +1 the support for vimeo or youtube hosted background videos
Keep it rolling!
Hey, thanks for the +1
Hey, I’m using the portfolio eye candy home page with masonry tiles to display items in my portfolio. I also have the word portfolio in my top menu. When I go to that page, ‘portfolio’, I have all my projects but in weird image sizes. How can I control that appearance? Thanks.
Hey mattg108,
Have you tried running a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/ ? If so please open a ticket in regards https://themenectar.ticksy.com with your admin credentials so I can take a look
Cheers
Two questions:
1) How can I make the footer appear on the Home – Alternative page?
2) Google Maps is coming up with an error, stating “This page didn’t load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details.” It appears on firefox, chrome and safari.
Hey iamjeffsmith,
1. The footer can be turned on and off from the footer options tab in the Salient options panel
2. The issue only applies to new domains where the maps script hasn’t been prior to June 22 of this year. This article explains it: https://www.latecnosfera.com/2016/06/google-maps-api-error-missing-keymap-error-solved.html
If you’re on a current version of Salient you can add the key into the map.js file in the js folder. The line to mod should be near line 589 of the file – $.getScript(‘https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&callback=mapAPI_Loaded'); will become $.getScript(‘https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&key=APIKEYHERE&callback=mapAPI_Loaded'); The next update will add an input for users to add the key in the admin panel
Cheers
Hey! I think there is a code missing in the search.php file in your theme. If you want to show up page thumbnails in search results page, do this:
1. Locate the file search.php and copy it to your child theme directory.
2. Open it and look for:else if( get_post_type($post->ID) == 'page' ){ ?>
<article class="result">
<div class="inner-wrap">
<span class="bottom-line" />
<h2 class="title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> <span><?php echo __('Page', NECTAR_THEME_NAME); ?></span></h2>
<?php if(has_excerpt()) the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
</article><!--/search-result-->
3. Change it for this:
else if( get_post_type($post->ID) == 'page' ){ ?>
<article class="result">
<div class="inner-wrap">
<span class="bottom-line" />
<?php if(has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID )) {
echo '<a href="'.get_permalink().'">'.get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'full', array('title' => '')).'</a>';
} ?>
<h2 class="title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> <span><?php echo __('Page', NECTAR_THEME_NAME); ?></span></h2>
<?php if(has_excerpt()) the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
</article><!--/search-result-->
Cheers!
Hey, that code is still located in the search.php file, are you not seeing it in yours?
Cheers
I hadn’t notice it until a few days ago when I realized pages thumbnails were missing in search results pages. I am using the last version of this (great!) theme. Maybe is problem in my download? Just posted it in case anybody needs it.
Hi Themenectar,
Is there a way to have a Button Text not Wrap when browser window gets smaller? Instead it should just go in responsive mode when there is no place for the Button text to be displayed as is.
Hey flkay,
Could you please share your URL where the button is located so I can see the setup?
Cheers
Yep, Check out the service description buttons under the linea icons on the homepage of eudc.ro
PS: A alternative to the section going responsive would be for all the buttons to wrap at the same time, if this is somehow possible. As of now, if the window gets smaller, at first, just some of the buttons start getting bigger to accommodate the text wrapping while others don’t.
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1100px) and (min-width: 1000px) {
.nectar-button.small {
font-size: 9px!important;
}
}
Cheers
Great! It worked perfectly. Since our last request another 2 issues/questions have popped up: 1. How can we have our services buttons & Icons 3 columns row from the homepage, transition to a 2 column row on tablet version. 2. There is a pretty big space between footer and copyright section. We’d like to make it smaller and put a line between. The option for the separator line from the salient panel isn’t working somehow.
Hi,
How would I change the color of the footer background, text and text hover over at page level?
Thanks
Hey 0754ben84,
On your page in the visual composer css box use this:
#footer-outer {
color: #ccc!important;
background-color: #252525!important;
}
#footer-outer a {
color: #000!important;
}
Cheers
Why does my site take a long time to load on mobile? www.4950woodwaydrive.com
Hey dyoungc, It appears you’re not browser caching or or other sort of caching – how long is he page taking to load for you on your mobile device?
The page header image when set does not display correctly on mobile ios ie. ipad and iphone. The background image displays really large and does not resize to the screen. I checked your demo on the ipad and got the same thing. Please help.
Here are the screen shots from an iPad. It’s the same for iphone.

is there a way to disable the lightbox in the image gallery visual composer?
Hey muntzdesigns,
What gallery settings are you using? Could you share your URL in regards so I can take a look

Is there a way to remove the auto add-to-cart functionality. I need the person to go to the product detail page to specify some parameters there before it is added to the cart. Thanks in advance!
Hey bradhoen,
Could you share the shop page URL so I can see your settings
Cheers
Hey, add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
html .woocommerce ul.products .text_on_hover.product .add_to_cart_button {
display: none;
}
That worked great! THANK YOU! I did notice that this code doesn’t work when you use the other setting within woocommerce section of the salient settings: Add to cart Icon on Hover (Classic). If there is a script you could give me I could use for that situation as well I would greatly appreciate it.
Hey, you can just change the snippet to:
html .woocommerce ul.products .product .add_to_cart_button {
display: none!important;
}
Thank you
You’re welcome
Hi! I’m having trouble with the og:description for portfolio post types, and strangely this is only an issue when using Visual Composer.
For some reason, the post object ‘post_content’ and ‘post_excerpt’ are empty. How would I retrieve the post content and excerpt from a portfolio item?
This only seems to affect portfolio items using Visual Composer, and does not affect normal Pages using Visual Composer. It also does not affect portfolio items that do not use Visual Composer.
My guess is that for some odd reason, Salient is saving the content and excerpt as post meta instead of the post object, but I’m not sure.
Here is an example URL: https://nathanmfarrugia.com/novels/helix-episode-3/Thank you! Nathan
P.S. I had Salient support for a long time and never used it, but it appears to have expired now, which is why I’m commenting here. Apologies!
Hey nate1983,
There’s two editors in the portfolio – the default editor populates the sidebar content when using a non fullwidth project. The extra content editor (VC enabled) is a separate editor. What plugin are you using to populate og data?
Cheers
Thanks for the reply!
I’m using WPSSO Pro (formerly called NGFB Pro) and I’ve been chatting with the developer about this. He made a very helpful plugin to assist me with inspecting the metadata of the post: https://github.com/jsmoriss/jsm-show-post-metaAnd it looks like the following fields are used: _nectar_portfolio_extra_content (but you would have to ignore the shortcodes and h1, h2, h3 tags, and use the p tags) And optionally this field: _nectar_project_excerpt
So it seems the problem is when someone (like me) uses the Salient portfolio in full-width mode with Visual Composer, there is no data to populate og:description.
It’s also worth noting that you can disable a plugin like WPSSO, in which case Facebook will still be able to infer the content from a Salient portfolio page using VC in full-width mode. But that’s just Facebook taking a guess, and it’s far from ideal!

I am using a carousel to display videos.
With a single video light box element, I upload a thumbnail image to the row background.
But for carousel item where do I upload the thumbnail image?
Hey geekdot,
There’s a new option to add a background image to the video lightbox element coming in the update due out very shortly
Cheers
I need to be able to add the “login” link to the navigation, and then display their name, and logout, when they are logged in. basically quick access to this page: http://crustclub.bradhoen.com/my-account/
Any way I can do that?
Hey again,
This is related to Salient specifically but you could probably find a plugin that would add that functionality https://wordpress.org/plugins/baw-login-logout-menu/
Cheers
I think I messed up the “cart” page css. Any way to reset it? or can you look into it? http://crustclub.bradhoen.com/
Hey bradhoen,
which files were you editing when this occurred?
Cheers
I am not sure. I was trying to edit the page that the cart redirects to when the cart is empty to a custom page. woo commerce setting>products>display> “shop page”. I tried doing this, then wanted to put it back to shop but put cart by mistake. It now has been updated to say “shop” but I think it may have messed up the cart css in the process.
Hey sorry for the delay, it’s unlikely that alone caused the issue – have you tried to reinstall the plugin to reset the template files?
What do you mean by reinstall the plugin? Delete Woocommerce and then reinstall it?
I haven’t done that but was next on my list.
I deleted woocommerce and re-installed it and it is still having issues. Do you have any other ideas?

Dear:
I need to have installed the plugins Page Meta, but do not work in Portfolio pages. I do not appear Plugin options. Please, that way I can do. Do I add some php? Do I click on something?
Hey Claudiah2o,
please share the plugin URL so I can take a further look
Cheers
Hey, it probably doesn’t support custom post types – unfortunately this isn’t something I can directly assist with. I would try reaching out to the plugin developer
