Hi People, send you an Email yesterday. Need Help with my Menu. After installing this Theme with a Demo and activate the Menu, the Site doesn´t load. It loads only without a Menu – secondary menu works! What can i do? What do i wrong?

no email. please send it to info@baasan.de

Now it works, don’t know why, but it works :)

Let me know if anything else arises :)

Be supporter of the theme…have been using it very often but I am now having a unique problem as I am attempting to better understand how your demos are setup. I have attempted to upload the .zip file on a local installation and on a test domain. After each time, I keep getting the error message “Are you sure?”. I’ve never had this issue before….I am following the instructions that I typically follow. I’ve even attempted to FTP the folder into the WP-content folder—>Themes folder and it’s still not working….

Please advise.

Hey ppsadmin,

What happens when you upload it via FTP and head to the the Appearance > themes page in your admin panel?

Cheers

Actually it’s working now..but I had to do it via FTP. Thanks so much.

Hey, glad to hear you’ve sorted it!

Background image zoom is not working in IE, its very jagggedy. Can you please check

Hey splashdesigns, could you kindly let me know which IE(s) you’re experiencing this on?

Hello. I cant find the option for enable social icon on the Header secondary nav menu. Where is it? (I’m using 7.6). I also want to put a phone number in the secondary nav menu. How can I add this? Or any text there? Thank you!!! Great theme!

Hey Rofe,

1. In the Salient options panel > header navigation > layout related tab. It should just be there as “Enable Social Icons”

2. You can add text items by using custom menu links and setting ”#” for the actual link href

Cheers

There’s a bug in the Full width masonry (meta overlaid) when you rescale to smaller sizes. This is also on the demo: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog/

The featured image of a “regular alt” get stretched out. Any ideas of how to fix it for my blog?

Hey rcsnellink,

The fix will be in the upcoming update – if you’d like the beta early, please send an email in regards using the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Cheers

Thank you for all of your hard work on Salient.

When will Salient support “responsive images” introduced in WP 4.4? Is it possible to define any ETA for this? I read your previous comments a few months back. RICG solution implemented in WP 4.4 core is probably one of the most important part of mobile first approach. It would be a very big shame if our clients couldn’t benefit from it.

Never the less, we love what you do and hoping that Salient development will go in the right direction :)

Regards, GridDesign

Hey griddesign, it is indeed getting more integration into the upcoming update :)

Cheers

Hello,

I’m working on improving our sites category/tag pages, by adding a header image and description.

I’ve enabled “Archive Header Background Image” in the Salient options. Now if I want to add a custom image to a category page, I can, no problem. But the field is missing on the tag pages. Can I somehow add a bit of code or alter a file to have this option on tag pages as well? Thanks :)

Hey rcsnellink,

As of now this would require some file modding – but i’ve noted the idea for the wishlist :)

Cheers

Hi there, I’ve been trying to contact you on your own support system but it’s been really hard to get answers from you. There are many issues with these theme which I’m assuming is happening mainly because I’m using the theme RTL. You guys say it’s RTL supported but I get to many answers like it’s not working we don’t know why – the developers are on it – and I never hear back. I really really wanted to have particles on my home page, but that doesn’t work and I’m waiting for an answer since November (#929589). You give me alternative solution which A. Have different issues, also RTL related, and B. Not what I wanted and is provided in your demos (which is why I bought the theme).

Since I bought the theme I feel like I have to give up on many features because on my theme it doesn’t work. This has been really hard! For instance, no particles, arrows on portfolio are different because RTL, alignment issues on Nectar slider when I add background to text so no background, alignment issues in general, giving up on sticky sidebar (#1023373 still waiting for a reply here), forced to have a secondary menu on mobile and tablet because then you have black header space which doesn’t show on your demo – and yet I got an answer that it’s the way it’s build ( #1023368), and so on…

Now, that I have changed many many things I still have a few issues but I can’t get any answers from you. Basically I feel like you’re ignoring me as I see other people are getting answers from you. My expectations from this theme and your support dropped dramatically. If I thought this theme will serve me and many of my clients, now I realize that even if want to keep buying your theme for others I won’t as I don’t get any real support and apparently your RTL support isn’t really what it’s made out to be in your demos. The only good support I received is on changing colors of a few things I couldn’t find and took you a few times to try as well.

I need help, and I really need you guys to answer me. My standing ticket that I didn’t give up on yet: #1023368

Please help

Thank you for your response!

I answered you on ticket #1023368

I’ve answered 3 days ago and I see here and on your support Andrew and others are answering people and again, no one is helping me out… Why is this so hard?? Why am I being ignored?

Hey again Karen, you’re not being ignored – Andrew and Tahir work weekend, but I personally am not on the forum on weekends, and your ticket has been assigned to me. I answered you earlier today :)

Hi, I want to make the porfolio as a single page but don’t want the categories to show. Is there anyway to hide them so it’s just a blank page with photos? I like how the images pop out and want to keep that as a staff page.

Hey sefwalter,

You can choose whether or not to enable the filters in the visual composer portfolio element – could you share your URL so I can see your current setup?

Cheers

What are the dimensions for the images used in the background of each row?

Hey,

That demo should be available to import on the latest version of Salient – those images are just part of the BG image assigned to the row, for example http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-app/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/bluebg-1.jpg

Cheers

But how I do make it show up on all screen sizes..for instance whenever I design something with a full row and an image in the background, typically the image is lost on smaller screens. Hope this make sense.

Hey, the way that demo handled is was by simply setting the bg alignment to the side which the item was placed on. If you resize your screen on the demo you’ll see how that functions – the option was also used to hide the BG on mobile devices and just leave a matching BG color showing

I am getting an issue and I’m hoping that there are others who have the same issue and its easy to fix…

The woocommerce product layout on the homepage looks strange (it’s split and empty in the middle). The product category pages also look strange when on the mobile…

The website is http://www.mkhordipour.com/

Hey, do you have this entered into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:

.woocommerce ul.products li.product, .woocommerce-page ul.products li.product {
    width: 30.3%!important;
    margin: 0 1% 2% 1% !important;
    float: none;
    display: inline-block;
}

I tried putting in that code… It didn’t help…

Could you please reach out in regards with your admin credentials via an email? You can send it from the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Is there a way to add new font into the template? Instead of Helvetica how do I add Helvetica Neue if the template does not have it?

How can I make buttons with a border-radius of 5px? I can’t seem to edit the CSS. thanks in advance!

Hey bradhoen,

Are you currently using the rounded buttons option in the theme options panel or do you not have that active? Just wondering where you are starting so I can provide the right snippet :)

Cheers

I changed the setting to rounded buttons than it was easier to set the border-radius change in the css. thanks! I think it would be cool to have an option to set the border-radius on the buttons in the theme. Just an idea :) To have more options than rounded and square.

Sure, I’ve noted the idea for the wishlist :)

Cheers!

Another +1 for blog post filters

Thanks scotosaurus :)

Hello, I am wondering how to achieve an effect used in the ECommerce demo:

On the version of the demo viewable on Themeforest, a fullwidth portfolio element displays and links to 4 mock pages (menswear, casualwear, etc.) with titles only and no date. However, if this demo is imported in Wordpress, this portfolio element displays the contents with a date and in chronological order, which seems to be the portfolio’s standard behavior. So I am curious how to use the portfolio as it appears on the Themeforest page, without dates and in a user-specified order.

For ordering, I imagine you could simply change the publish date for each item to create the ordered sequence you prefer, but I’m not sure if the ECommerce demo has been altered with other controls or modifications that I’m not aware of.

I am new to web-design and have been picking it up through tutorials and studying the documentation, so forgive me if I’m missing something obvious.

Thanks for reading.

Hey standard-def,

You can use either a portfolio element or an image gallery element (set to image grid style) for custom links to your categories as the demo shows. If you’re using the portfolio you can disable dates via the theme options panel > portfolio > functionality tab. You can also reorder by the date or by drag and drop using https://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/

Cheers

Thanks for the response! I appreciate it.

You’re welcome :)

Unfortunately, this theme is too slow for me to use in production. A Google PageSpeed check gave it a 18/100 on Mobile and 20/100 on Desktop.

Even the demos (with basically no content are in the 30s/100) I should have looked at this before putting development work towards it. I’d like to request a refund.

Hey bkrall, when using standard optimization for page speed, i.e. gzip compression, browser caching & css/js minifcation it’s not possible for scores to be that low. Could you kindly share your URL so I can see your setup? Also if you’ve like to request a refund the location to do so is here: https://themeforest.net/refund_requests/new

Cheers

​Hi Salient

Upgraded our site to Version 7.6 and all is working 100% in IE and Firefox but none of my sliders or portfolio images are loading in Chrome.

Please can you assist?

Hey, the sliders/portfolio items seem to be loading when checking on Chrome on my end with PC/MAC. Could you let me know the Chrome version you’re using?

Hi, I updated Chrome and issue seems to have resolved. Thanks coming back to me!

You’re very welcome :)

For some reason since the last update my checkout page with membermouse can’t show the dropdown menu for credit card expiration date, country and states. Any fix? https://members.marcfitt.com/checkout/

reverting to 7.5.02 fixed the issue. Just if go back to 7.6 it’s not working anymore.

Hey,

I’ve noted to investigate this and sort it for the next update

Cheers

Hello guys,

I just want to know if it’s possible to desactivate the scroll and just have the navigation with the menu?

Thank you very much

Hey lafabrik_,

Are you referring to page fullscreen row setups?

Cheers
