Hey Thorit, you can minify them as i’ve done on certain demos – minfication is disabled on others currently so I can update them easier. See here for one that has it turned on https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fthemenectar.com%2Fdemo%2Fsalient-service&tab=desktop

You can use this plugin in regards https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/

We have minified everything, thats not the problem. The problem is the above-the fold CSS+JS issue. You also get that on your Corporate Service demo.

When you minify you can drop the number from many to 1 js and 1 css – which I thought was you question from above. In order to get rid of the 1 minifed css and 1 minifed js file it would require custom development as even in a default WP setup there is a script loaded in the head which will cause that warning. However whenever minified correctly the hit on pagespeed score will be minial

Hello,

I looked through your user guide, but I’m having trouble finding instructions on how to create all the slides and animations as shown in your App Slider? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-app/#discover

Thank you in advance!

Thank you so much for the link! I’m looking to replicate the animation of images and text in the first four rows.

Actually, the video tutorial provided on the page in the site above explains everything I need for now! Thank you very much! :)

Hey, glad to hear! :)

2 quick questions:

1. How can I deactivate the page header on a page? 2. How can I select which color the logo and navigation should have on a page at the start? (Let’s say the background of the page header is white and I want my dark logo to load on page load?

Thanks in advance.

Hey Nehalem2009,

1. By removing any specificed text/BG color you have set for it – please the documentation in regards http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-metaboxes/

2. As of now the only way to trigger a dark logo while transparent would be to use the Nectar Slider (with a dark slide) or a full page row setup

Cheers

1. Ok I see what I did wrong. There was still a value for the BG color in it and therefore it showed an empty page header. Thanks for clarifying.

and

2. I just wanted to ask if you can make this feature available without having to have all of the page’s rows as full page. It would be awesome if I could just specify one (or more) specific row/s as full page instead of having all or nothing.

and 1 more thing: 3. If I add images as grid – can you add the option to have no hover effect at all. Because as far as I can see it you have to pick one of the hover effects right now which might not be needed for some scenarios.

Thanks in advance for listening to feedback and your help. Much appreciated.

Hey,

1. I’ve noted your request but as of now it would require custom modding to be exactly the same height as the window. However you could get close by using % values for the row top/bottom padding. Depending on how much content you have in the row, try values of 10% or 16% for both the top/bottom inputs

2. I’ve also noted this request :)

hey there, i’m having trouble with installing this theme on wordpress, i also paid someone $50 to do this through Envato market but they are saying they can only do it though FTP. everything i’ve seen online says that you should be able to add new theme in the dashboard, can someone please confirm if this is still relevant because i can’t see that option.

Anyone able to help?

Hey austinmikael,

The various methods to installing/updating are shown and explained in the documentation http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/installation/

Cheers

Is it possible to change the image size of visual composer elements like grid gallery and such stuff? Like add_image_size(‘fullResImage’, 950, 650, true); or a other methode? My images are cuted also on lightbox. Best Regards and thank you for the theme!

I know that there is a input box for size but it crazy some images are displayed correct and some not: https://technik-smag.de/apps-themes/emiui-7-2/

Is there any way to show a different size of image like the lightbox one? Like a 500×500px an in Lightbox Full resolution f.e.?

Thanks for your help :)

There is also something strange situation with the grid gallery: If you load the page the first time the images are on mobile not displayed but the size and the link is…

Hey,

I don’t currently see a gallery loading on that URL but the full size should be shown in the lightbox. Could you verify there’s a gallery on that page URL so I can take a look?

​How can we disable the crop of the team member with overlaid alt enabled? It seems the team member canvas will crop the photo. However i want to display the full photo. When i select ‘Meta below’, the photo will show without cropping.

Hope you can help me out.

Hey,

As of now this would require custom modding since it’s set as a BG image on the html element, cropping will occur – however maybe the newer team member element will suit your sizing needs better as it’s a portrait aspect ratio http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-business/about/#team

Cheers

Hey there, i’m looking for good developers to implement this theme for a portfolio site i want built for myself. I was going to post on peopleperhour but thought i’d check here to see if there were experts with this theme.

Hey austinmikael,

If you need a developer you could always check on Envato studio, as they’re most likely fimilar with ThemeForest themes https://studio.envato.com/

Cheers :)

thanks for this

You’re welcome :)

Infinite scroll blog pagination type become broken after 7.6, it doesnt simply load anything except first page of posts. Switched to default pagination :(

Hey overlaps, I can’t replicate this on my end http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/blog-infinite-scroll/ could you share a URL where the issue is present so I can take a look at your settings?

Oh, nevermind. It was my mistake with default WP blog settings, sorry.

No worries :)

Absolutely LOVE 7.6! Heads up, I noticed one issue on the business theme. The employee modal has no close function on iOS (mobile). Possible to add a X icon to the upper left? The desktop mouse turning to a close function doesn’t work on mobile. Thanks!!!!

Hey mikedubs!

I just confirmed the same – it appears to be iOS specific as andriod works which is how I overlooked it. It will be fixed shortly :)

Cheers

No worry! Thank you so much for the fix! :)

You’re welcome :)

I created a custom single.php in the child theme, for a custom post type. How do I make the header navigation transparent? I can’t seem to force it on this page.

Hey ikjosh,

Could you share one of your blog posts so I can take a look?

Cheers

Hello, how can I reduce the space in a pricing table between the price and content (using the flat alternative option)?

Hey,

Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:

body .pricing-table[data-style="flat-alternative"] .pricing-column ul {
    padding: 0px!important;
}

Cheers

Can I have a line break between a menu item that is two words? I tried it my just adding it in the navigation title, but it wasn’t responsive and did weird things to the header. Also, is there a way to replace a navigation title with an image?

Hey mcintalmcmaster,

1. As of now you can’t add line breaks in menu items

2. Are you referring to the sitename/logo area? If so – yes, in the Salient options panel > header navigation tab there’s a logo upload http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/theme-options/header-navigation/#logo-general

Cheers

I am not referring to the logo section. I am referring to the option to have images or icons instead of text in menu items? Is that possible?

Hey, as of now there’s no way to achieve that without custom modding / custom css classes on the items

Cheers

Currently when you set a portfolio to “Fullwidth, Masonry” ​it forces the portfolio to take up all the window space. The “In Container” parameter has no effect.

I would kill to put a fullwidth masonry portfolio inside a container. Just tell me who to kill. I’m pretty sure this functionality existed in previous versions. Please and thanks for any help.

Hey phaedon,

The masonry option (where the project sizes activate) has always required the layout to be full width – however if you leave it fullwidth, you could reduce the layout to appear in contained with css.

@media only screen and (min-width: 1100px) {
body div.portfolio-items[data-col-num="elastic"] {
    max-width: 1000px;
    margin: 0 auto!important;
    transform: none!important;
}
}

Cheers

Dude, thank you so so much. I have been playing with the code for hours and was about to go nuts. I know you didn’t have to answer my question.. peace and love! :)

You’re very welcome :)

Hi!

I have the navmenu on the left side and i need the mobile navigation to be transparent. Is there any way how i could archieve this by custom css? Any other solution?

Hey physicable,

currently the only way to have the nav be transparent on mobile is with the permenant transparent header option – but that’s not meant for the left header navigation

Cheers

I’m seriously looking at your Salient theme for an upgrade on a site I’ve had for awhile. Does this theme generally require a fresh WP install, or does it install OK on existing sites much of the time?

OK, I’ve re-installed it. It’s down below recent posts section near bottom of page with dk blue background. http://dev.innerpeace-worldpeace.com/

Hey ThemeNectar, I got this sorted out, I used ul#recentcomments li.recentcomments { float: left; } and that did it.

Hey, glad to hear! :)

How do I get my testimonial slider to look like the one at the bottom of the http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-business/?

And the contact form under it!

Hey myreliefplus,

1. If you’re using the latest Salient (7.6) you can select the minimal style when editing your testimonial element in visual composer

2. The contact form is populated using Contact form 7 and has the minimal form styling option on in the Salient options panel > form styling tab

Cheers

Hi,

Is it possible to use Slider Revolution (I would have a full page slider) with the box roll header effect?

Hey studiotopo.

The box roll effect can not be used on third party slider plugins as it’s specific to the markup Salient adds for the fullscreen header.

Cheers

Hi Guys, how come when using the new side fixed header navigation of version 7.6 it’s not possible to have a fullscreen nectar slider? is there another way?

Hey Max,

You should still be able to use the fullscreen feature with the left menu – could you open a ticket in regards showing the page with the issue and also let me know the ticket ID here once you’ve done so? https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Cheers

What I just did was copy the shortcode (classic mode) from the old salient version, included the missing fullscreen settings and finally the fullscreen checkbox appeared.

Cheers

Hey, if you run into the issue again please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a further look :) https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Any plans for upgrading page speed performance? I would freaking pay you buko bucks to upgrade that!

Hey ace2296, yes actually :)

Cheers

Hi, there are a problem whit the nectar shortcode portfolio infinite scroll, when you load the page with this shortcode all content breaks. Its the versión 7.6

Hey rene_lo,

I can’t seem to replicate this on my end – could you please open a ticket in regards or share your URL here so I can take a look at the page?

Cheers
