Thank you for an amazing theme!
I wonder if you could hlep me with a problem on mobile. I’ve added a Quickview to your Woocommerce products shortcode (using carousel) on this page – http://www.site6.brisbne.pl/ (the products at the top of the page).
Quickview is working nicely on desktop view and tablet view when you click a product, however, on a mobile phone, the quickview lightbox doesn’t work. I’m thinking it’s a conflict with the carousel but I don’t get any errors in console – the quickview simply doesn’t activate on click. Is there some option that carousel does differently on mobile compared to desktop view that might block the quickview?
Thank you!
Hey Sean!
You’ll need to edit the productCarouselInit in the init.js file – as that carousel element changes the tap functionality on mobile devices and prevents links from triggering unless it’s a standard page link (to avoid accidental clicks when swiping on mobile)
Cheers
OK cool … so I’ve now added my quickview button div class (.jckqvBtn) to the productCarouselinit:
excludedElements: "button, input, select, textarea, .noSwipe, .jckqvBtn",
It’s working fine now! Thank you 
Glad to hear you got it!
Cheers
Hey Guys,
I wrote a while back saying that the Salient Visual composer was not working well in my pages. I found out Yoast was the problem. Well the problem is back but only in portfolio items.
I can see the VC part, but there is always a shortcode text box above it (that old wordpress standard box). I can’t seem to edit my portfolio pages correctly.
I deactivated all my plugins, deleted the salient VC, reinstalled form scratch. Still nothing is working. It only seems to be doing that when I add a new portfolio item. If I edit an existing one. all is good.
Please help! P.S.: My support plan expired as mentioned last time.

Hi, I noticed that the plugin I’ve been using to display custom menus to different types of user, Nav Menu Roles, seems to no longer be working. Seems others have had this issue after upgrading to WP 4.7.x — see here and here.
I’ve confirmed this seems to be an incompatibility with Salient as it works as expected when I switch over temporarily to a default WP theme. I can temporarily fix this by installing this tiny plugin as a patch, but would be great if it could also be fixed in an upcoming Salient update Thanks!
Hey bschlagel,
Thanks for letting me know
Cheers
Is it possible to create a homepage that doesn’t have the navigation? A client has me creating this unique homepage but after entering the site she wants the navigation menu to appear.
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.home #header-outer, .home #header-space {
display: none!important;
}
I am trying to create a button in my navigation menu for a donation page, I have added the class to the menu in the WP dashboard and applied styling, but it’s not working. Am I doing something wrong?
Hey,
Salient will offer an actual option to select header button styling in the upcoming update – it’ll be out in a few days
Cheers
Hi Guys,
Got an issue on my blog.
I’ve just added adsense to my site and I’m getting the code appear in the excerpt in the blog page.
Please see image: http://www.petcheckers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/adsense-issue.jpg
Can you help?
Thanks
Hey 0754ben84,
what plugin are you using to add that in?
Cheers
It’s WP Simple Adsense Insertion
It just gives you a shortcode to use
Hey, because you have it entered inside of a Visual Composer text block, VC is parsing it and adding it to the excerpt – this would occur outside of Salient just using VC as well. A workaround would be to remove it form VC and add it into the single.php file where desired to avoid this
Hi there, fantastic theme I’ve spotted something with the mobile menu, not sure if it’s me or a small bug:
On mobile, when using the slide out menu if you go into a submenu and then close the menu (by pressing the X), when you open the menu again with the hamburger, it appears to be stuck in the submenu you left it on, the Back button doesn’t seem to work.
If you refresh or navigate to another page it’s fine because it loads the top level menu again and behaves as expected. It only appears to happen when you close the menu when you are within a submenu.
Hope that makes sense!
Hey Phacin8!
I can’t seem to replicate this on my end – could you kindly let me know what device you’re using and if you can also see it occur on the demo here? themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend
Cheers
Hi there, thanks for coming back to me, I’m narrowing down the issue.
Some of the custom CSS I was using to fix another issue seems to have caused my problems.
So I’ve reverted and I’m now back to my original issue – the slide out menu doesn’t seem to format itself correctly in RTL languages. The Back button has some strange formatting across 2 lines and tucks itself up under the close (‘X’) button.
I’ve tried floating this button left so that is appears in the same place on the English part of the site but this is what got me to the original issue I posted about.
Any ideas please?
Hey, could you please share the URL so I can take a look to assist?
Hi Guys. Salient Visual Composer is not working after update of Wordpress Core Software to WordPress 4.7.2. Is there an update of the theme to fix this ??
Hey evolvedublin, have you updated the theme & Salient VC to the latest versions (7.6 & 4.12.1)? And have you also verified that no third party plugins are causing this?
That did the trick ! Thanks guys.
You’re welcome
hi guys,
is it possible to display the blog sidebar on the left?
Thanks
Hey 0754ben84, this would require custom css:
.blog #post-area {
padding-right: 0;
float: right;
padding-left: 40px;
}
Cheers
I have installed a fresh copy of the theme on my local machine. I am not not importing any demos, just creating my website from scratch.
The mobile navigation the fresh install is using is the one shown in the corporate theme. Example: http://imgur.com/a/Vfq1P
How can I change it and make it look like the Modern Creative theme. Example: http://imgur.com/a/Vfq1P
I could not find a way to do that in the settings.
Also, when do you think we will get new updates?
Thanks
Hey seseskiz,
1. This is covered in the documentation under the “Header Sticky On Mobile” option http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/theme-options/header-navigation/
2. This week – the beta has been out and currently being tested
Cheers
I purchased Salient a number of years ago and have used it at least 10 times – best theme ever btw! However, lately I’m having some issues with the numbers and navigation arrows on my minimal testimonial slider and cannot seem to figure out what is causing them to break (go to http://176.efa.myftpupload.com/ and scroll down towards the bottom). I am using the latest version of Salient (7.6) and have the latest WP version installed (4.7.2). Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
Hey bentraynham!
It seems your style.css file is version 7.5.02, you’re missing the 7.6 styles for the minimal testimonial slider – can you try updating again? http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/
Cheers
Can you make the menu smaller when you scroll down the page?
Hey tumarcaenfacebook, yes – in the Salient options panel > header navigation > animation effects tab
Hi,
Can you see any good reason why the nectar slider has some sort of strange shake upon slider change here: bcomesafe.com? You have to wait a couple of seconds for it to rotate.
By the way, it only happens in FireFox.
Thanks a lot!
Hey rocapress!
What version of the theme are you currently using?
Cheers
Hi,
Version 6.1.65
Sincerely, Mika
Mika,
Have you tried updating to the current version? This was an issue with the latest FF in earlier versions of the theme http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/
Cheers
Hi, I haven’t but we will do that
Sounds good
Hello,
I am looking for the social icons for the secondary header in v7.6. I can find them in the footer, but not the header.
I usually just replace soundcloud with fa-houzz or fa-yelp or whatever the icon the client wants. I am just not finding it in the header.php for v7.6. >.<
Any help is greatly appreciated.
nvm, I found it hanging out in the functions.php
Hey clixgroup,
Glad to hear you’ve taken care of it
Cheers
I have been having issues since I purchased this over a year ago. I noticed since I installed this that my website is so insanely slow. I don’t understand why or how to fix this. Does anyone else have issues relating to this or any suggested fixes. I don’t have anything complex on my site, just large images. My site is www.jokermartini.com I need help please!
Hey JokerMartini,
1. You have images on your page over 1MB in size, one of them is 4MB https://jokermartini.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/curly_paintswatches.jpg – that is in no way suitable to be displayed on the web – you should be aiming for under 400kb, please compress your images properly
2. You have not enabled gzip compression, page caching or minfication on your setup – these are crucial for a high performing website, not just with Salient. For this I recommend using a plugin called W3 Total cache
Cheers
Thanks for the info i appreciate it. Do I need to delete all the images on my website and upload smaller ones. Or can I just upload new ones and change my posts to use them?
How can you tell I haven’t enabled gzip compression, page caching or minfication?
Thanks john
I’m working on uploading smaller images, however i noticed even when i change the images and click ‘Update’ it takes several minutes sometimes for the project to update. So not only is the site slow but so is the admin back-end. If you run my website using googles site analyzer you’ll see scripts from salient are blocked: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/
Hey, to reduce the penalty from “Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content” in Google page speed, you can enable javascript and css minification in W3 total cache – images shouldn’t take minutes to update after uploading new ones unless they’re cached. Have you verified that this happens even when clearing your cache?
Ok great info, thanks ill do that. I’ve started reducing and compression my images and that has sped up my website and admin page all around.
Just for added info, GoDaddy blocks the W3 plugin from being used on their severs since they handle the caching and stuff on their end automatically. However I’ll lookin into some other plugins for enabling mini css and javascript enabling. thanks
Sounds good and thanks for letting me know
Problem with links not functioning on mobile devices. I’m hoping you can point me in the right direction as I’m having issues with links not working when viewing a site on a mobile device.
I have found that the issue relates to z-index values but I can’t see why it has become an issue and how to get around it on a site-wide basis.
If you go to http://www.defencelabtraining.co.uk/contact/ and view on a mobile you will see that the links to ‘View Class Times’ does not function but when flipping to desktop view it works fine.
Now, if you go to http://www.defencelabtraining.co.uk/about-us/self-defence-surrey/ and repeat the mobile/desktop view you will see that the links function in both formats. I have achieved this by creating a range of media query and targeted css rules. In this instance, the following rule was applied to get the links to work; .vc_col-sm-6.wpb_column.column_container.vc_column_container.col.no-extra-padding.instance-4 { z-index:auto!important; }
Another example of where I have had to make targeted css rules can be see here – http://www.defencelabtraining.co.uk/defencelab-morden/ with the css of;
.vc_col-sm-4.wpb_column.column_container.vc_column_container.col.no-extra-padding.instance-11 { z-index: auto!important; }
The problem really is, apart from being an enormous task of creating unique css rules and the fact that if you have a nested block it then renders the targeted css redundant, I really need a way of getting the links to be active as a site-wide fix. I really hope you can help out as I’ve been through the site backwards and forwards and cannot see how to get around this.
Hey jjsolutions, no extra coding or css should be needed to allow anchors to function on mobile devices – I checked your URL http://www.defencelabtraining.co.uk/contact/ on three different smartphones so far (iPhone 6s/7s and a Google pixel) and none of them had issues opening either of the “View Class Times” links. Please let me know what phone you’re using so I can test on that specific device to see what’s going on
Cheers
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately though not all links are fully active, on this page – http://www.defencelabtraining.co.uk/about-us/what-is-defence-lab/ if you scroll down to the email link you will see it is not functioning on a phone but does on a desktop device
Hey,
That issue is being created by css added by your plugin “widgetize-pages-light”
You can either deactivate it or add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel to cancel the offending snippet out:
@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
body [class*="column"] + [class*="column"]:last-child {
float: left;
}
}
I am trying to do the following:
-create a white or transparent background for the navigation menu to overlay the images in the header -stop the navigation from appearing when I scroll to the footer of the website. -move the sub-navigation menu up
Hey ppsadmin,
1. You can enable the transparent header in the Salient options panel > header navigation tab > transparency tab
2. An option for this is coming in the upcoming release due out this week
3. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
body[data-dropdown-style="minimal"] .sf-menu > li > ul {
margin-top: -30px!important;
}
Cheers
Thanks so much…the probably, I am having with the transparency is that I see a yellow background rather than seeing the image that’s in the header.
Hey,
Do you have the option on for “Force Transparency On Navigation” in your page header settings metabox in the edit page screen?
Cheers
Hello Guys, Do you have a date this week when the update is going to be released? Just so we know when to check back in with you
Hey Allanr101, don’t know which day yet but it will be out this week sometime – the beta has been distributed and people have already been testing it out
Cheers
Hey Salient, Got a small issue with your theme. It’s about Woocommerce & Polylang. When somebody buys an item, it says “[PRODUCT] has been added to your cart” then the link on the right. But the link goes to the english cart, even if we are on the french website. Do you know what I could do to fix it? Thanks.
The website : 1642sodas.ca
Hey alexandreminem,
Have you checked out this plugin yet? https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-poly-integration/
Cheers
Hi lovely Team Salient! Quick question- I want one of my header menu links to open in a new tab. Whats the easiest way to do this? The text is linking out to an off-site page, so I’d like to have it open in a different tab
Hey Liyte!
In appearance > menus click on the screen options tab in the top right corner and then check the box for “link target”
Cheers
You ROCK. Thanks so much.
You’re very welcome
