Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 covers a wide range of recommendations for making Web content more accessible. Following these guidelines will make content accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities, including blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, learning disabilities, cognitive limitations, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity and combinations of these. Following these guidelines will also often make your Web content more usable to users in general.

It’s not only important to offer my content to anyone but I read that building your web site while following these guidelines will also improve your Google ranking, so how does Salient comply to these guidelines?

Hey htusco, Salient uses basic aria tags for various areas however the theme isn’t created specifically with wcag – all of the top themes on here don’t offer full integration with all the wcag techniques, however you can find plugins to add some of this without any development https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/wcag

ThemeNectar,

Please visit this link: http://neileverosborne.com/stills/on-assignment-editorial/

I know the CSS below disables them all. My question, is it possible to disable the rollover on only one portfolio thumbnail?

.portfolio-items .col .work-info .vert-center { display: none!important; }

Many thanks.

Cheers, Alan

Hey Alan,

You’d need to target the item individually like:

body .portfolio-items .col:nth-child(3) .work-info .vert-center { display: none!important; }

Cheers

Vertical_Productions, I don’t own a license for this template yet. I will buy it as soon as the update is released… BUT! From the experience with other templates (they came with slider revolution and visual composer in the package) but I managed to achieve this by creating slides with video background and slider revolution has the option to start the video at any moment I want. So I created more slides withthe same video starting at different moment and made slides to show random. Maybe you can try this as well. Good luck!

Hey avrcata,

Thanks for trying to help out Vertical_Productions :)

Cheers

Buddypress Activity Feed – Comment Button Not Working. Hello, I have installed Buddypress on my website and a registered user should be able to make a comment on an activity they see in their feed. However, when the “Comment” button is clicked, nothing happens. The page just reloads. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, you need to turn on the option for “Disable Fade Out On Click” in the Page Transitions tab of the Salient options panel

Cheers

That fixed it! Thank you so much!

You’re very welcome :)

Hey there! Fantastic theme! Is it possible to have a bit of bleed from the previous row when scrolling down when full screen rows are being used e.g. let’s say on a home page?

Thanks cloudskystudios :)

Unfortunately this would require some custom development as of now, but i’ve noted the idea

Cheers

Hi there – love the theme! This might be jumping the gun a bit, but are there any plans in the future to have a sidebar vs no sidebar option for individual posts?

Hey vfmleonado!

I’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist :)

Cheers

I am a web developer, and have many clients with this theme. I have a support account and have been able to ask questions in that account but am having trouble now as the theme in my account support has expired. I have a new client, who’s site i need help with, and who has support… but i’m not able to ask the question in my account as my support is expired. Is there a way to put the new purchase code into that support account? it’s super awkward to have to create a new account, as i like having all the questions i’ve asked in one place.

Hey kimhadley,

Unfortunately I don’t personally have control over this – however if you reach directly out to Envato they should be able to help you :) https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Hi! Great theme! Im glad to work with it. I have a few problems, I hope you can help me:

I’ve created a form with raw html in certain page, and when I save the changes the theme wraps the input and select tags with lots of span tags and another html tags. There is a way of avoiding this? (the select tag becomes unuable). Another thing that happen is that the styles of the input text are overwriting my custom css, even if I use !Important.

Thank you in advance!

Thanks estudiobrandon!

1. Turn off the fancy form styling in the Salient options panel > form styling tab

2. Could you share the URL where your custom css isn’t applying?

Cheers

Hello, Is this theme compatible with the http://wpeventsplus.com plugin?

Hey TerraVenture,

I’m unaware of any issues – if you run into some just let me know

Cheers

Hello, pre-purchase questions: 1.) Can the column portfolio have images without border? Like the full width portfolio. 2.) Possible to have 2 (or more) links to external site when hovering above a portfolio image/item?

Thanks

Hey GiManimations,

1. This option is coming in the next update

2. You can link any project to an external link, but there will only be one link per project

will it be possible to use nectar fullpage rows with anchor in the menu (home) and normal sides (e.g. contact) in one site?

Hey Buglover,

You can use the full page rows with links to the current page and off of the current page

Cheers

Hi again themenectar =)

Is there any way to make a page header link to somewhere?

Hey again! You’d need to use a raw HTML anchor link with single quotes for the href attribute like so http://pastebin.com/xEVx5UWK

Cheers

So I tried pasting this into the Page Header Title field (not sure if that’s the right way) and it works but the text only appears on hover!

Hey,

Could you share the URL in regards?

Cheers

Hi i’m using Salient theme, it’s a great theme and I like it. I have a question: If I use the site at: Enable Boxed sets Layout. Then my calendar dropdown disappears. When I disable it, than it works again. I use the Gravity Forms plugin. See page https://mecar.nl/

Hey Edgarsimonian86,

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

body div#ui-datepicker-div[style] {
    z-index: 999999!important;
}

Cheers

You’re welcome :)

Hello again. Will the much awaited update include visual composer or slider revolution? I would like to pay more for the template but I would like to be sure that I have all the resources and tools needed for designing my website. I want to use this template for a web design agency so I need it to be as cool as f**k :D to make an impression and people to remember the website. I need it to look different then any other agency’s websites. I bet other people interested in this template expect the same. Also, it will support the latest wordpress version?

And another question… if I buy a template that already comes with visual composer and I install both templates, your and the other one, on a multi sites wordpress install, will I be able to use visual composer and other plugins that come with the other template to build content on salient also?

Also, somebody asked before is salient is compatible with wordpress multilingual plugin? https://wpml.org Thank you! If there is anyway I can help you with anything… I’ll do it for free! I just want to see the updated Salient asap :)) All the best!

Hey avrcata!

1. VC is already included, but the update will be including the new version and some custom Salient developments ;)

2. It’s already compatible with WP 4.7+

3. You can only have one version of VC active per install – on the site which you’re using Salient, you’d still be using the Salient VC

4. It’s not on their official list but many users are using it

Cheers

Hi Nectar,

I would like to remove the logo link to the home page, I understand I need to edit the following:

>

to

>

However, how can I add it in my child theme so that I dont have to keep changing it please? Would I have to copy the whole header php file and add it in my child theme or is there another way please?

Thank in advance

Hey, you could actually handle this with css – add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:

.home #logo { pointer-events: none!important; }

Thanks for your help, much appriciated, I gave the code a go and it works, thanks, if I wanted it site wide would I have to put it on every page?

You could change the snippet to just
 #logo { pointer-events: none!important; }
and it will apply globally :)

Hi! I am using the “service demo” for my website www.webclaps.in the website looks really great on desktop but the experience on mobile is really bad. I enabled “Disable On Mobile Check this to disable the page full screen rows when viewing on a mobile device.”

Which looked fine but the button that I had created “Explore Now” no longer works on smart phone but it works on desktop.

Please help or suggest something to fix it.

Hey smith_pandey, the functionality that will allow animated anchor links to work on mobile when using the Disable on mobile option is coming in the upcoming release – which will be out soon :)

If you’d like the beta please open a ticket in regards and let me know the ticket ID here https://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Hi The ticket ID is TICKET #1053406 . Please provide the beta update

Like everyone else, I am also having issues with the new wordpress update to 4.5. When I upload to the latest version of salient, I lose all my custom css code and I cannot access visual composer. When I update the plugin, I get access to the visual composer, but all of my previous css is still lost along with several parts of my layout. I do not see the rows anymore. I have been using the manual code to update and fix, but the image gallery has me stumped. I tried revising the wp fix: (’.wpb_column[data-hover-bg^=”#”]’) to no avail. These are the errors I get in my developer tool. I think it has something to do with the helper.php. Uncaught TypeError: $template.get is not a function at n.html2element (composer-view.js:109) at n.render (composer-view.js:118) at n.appendShortcode (composer-view.js:421) at n.<anonymous> (composer-view.js:366) at load-scripts.php:99 at Function.m.each.m.forEach (load-scripts.php:99) at n.addChild (composer-view.js:365) at n.addAll (composer-view.js:359) at _ (load-scripts.php:444) at m (load-scripts.php:444) composer-view.js:109 Uncaught TypeError: $template.get is not a function at n.html2element (composer-view.js:109) at n.render (composer-view.js:118) at n.addShortcode (composer-view.js:441) at _ (load-scripts.php:444) at m (load-scripts.php:444) at f (load-scripts.php:444) at n.u.trigger (load-scripts.php:444) at n._onModelEvent (load-scripts.php:444) at _ (load-scripts.php:444) at m (load-scripts.php:444).

Hey oakstreet, the current version of VC is needed to run the current version of WP, what css & layouts are you losing when upgrading? Are you referring to css located inside of the VC custom css box or within the Salient options panel? Could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials https://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Cheers

It is within the custom css boxes. It works fine when I use the js_composer_salient, but the VP doesn’t work, specifically with the image gallery. When I upgrade to te latest version of VC, it loses all custom css and I lose my [vc_row] layout. I tried to submit a ticket, but envato isn’t recognizing me as a “paid” product, though I have purchased several things now.

i want to set up a site with salient that has three sections, each section has a different menu, woudl i be able to do this with this theme?

Hey kimhadley,

You’d need to use page submenus such as this page http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/sliders/ or a full screen row setup (which would give you a vertical menu that could differ on every page) http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-service/

Cheers

The menus are no longer working on certain pages of my site. Please see – http://imagepeople.com/video-production/ and let me know your thoughts. Thank you.

Hey wielandsmith, have you verified that no third party plugins you have active could be causing this?

I tried deactivating all of the plugins. This began happening when I updated the theme (using envato market plugin). Wordpress has also been updated to the current version.

Hey,

Do you currently have a ticket open with your admin credentials posted so I can log in and take a look? themenectar.ticksy.com/

Cheers

Hi, I have this theme is my basket, quick couple questions before purchase; does the theme support WPLM (https://wpml.org/) ?

Hey anthonysinclair, it’s not officially on their list but many users are using it

Cheers

so does this mean its fully compatible? would besuch a shame if it wasn’t as this theme is incredible but that would be a no go for us. Do you have any plans to become WPML certified in future?

I haven’t added custom integration for the plugin – but the theme comes translation ready so it likely has little, if any issues. If you discover any just let me know :)
