Hey ThemeNectar,

Not sure if you can help or not but figured I would ask the question anyways.

I have noticed some of the images I have imported into WordPress and Salient are missing their metadata information, can you recommend a fix to this or a plugin that will include the metadata during import?

Many thanks.

Best, Alan

Hey Alan,

Can you list more data about where you’re importing the images that are getting stripped of the metadata?

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar,

I am simply using the Media Library to images either into galleries or sliders, however not meta data is being stored. I use Lightroom to export the web ready images and during that process all meta data is there but when imported into WordPress there is nothing.

Any thoughts or suggestions on why this is happening and how to fix it?

Best, Alan

Hey Alan,

When WP resizes images to be cut to specific sizes, it most likely removes that data. Only the original size uploaded would keep that data. It looks like there may be an easy fix though, try adding this line into a child theme functions.php:

add_filter (‘image_strip_meta’, false);

I increased the max container width of the site, which is working great. The only issue I’m encountering is that the blog posts have stayed at the same, smaller width as before. Is there a way to increase the width of blog posts?

Hey Tom,

Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can check your settings to assist?

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar,

I currently have an under construction page up so I’m not sure if you’ll be able to see the settings you’re looking for: https://www.artfulruckus.com

Basically I’ve just changed the container width through the Salient settings to 1600, the blog post content is still remaining at the default 1425 though.

Thanks!

Hey! Is there anyway I could bypass your coming soon page to further clarify the full scope of theme settings?

Export a site

I setted up a wp/salient based site hosted on my developing domain. How to export to final host domain both pages, settings and media minimizing further fixes? thanks in advance for any advice!

Hey guasconi,

There’s a plugin to automate the usual process that you should take a look into if you haven’t yet :) https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/

Cheers

yeah man! thanks a lot! have a nice time this coming holidays

You as well! :)

Hi, On Firefox (57.0.1) the link URL on Fancy Box do not work! You are planning to solve the problem?

Hey Pixsite, this quantum specific issue can be resolved in the meantime before the next update with this line of css :) (add it into the custom css box in your Salient options panel)


.nectar-fancy-box .box-link{ z-index:100; }

Cheers

Thank you good day

You’re welcome :)

After the most recent Wordpress update my theme is severely broken. Trying to sort out if this is a Salient issue. Have you had others report this same problem?

Hey rogercoles, there no known issues with the latest Salient (8.5.3) and WP 4.9x – can you please share your URL so I can see what’s going on?

Thanks

I’m not sure when this started but the preview images and UI for videos don’t load correctly anymore http://uweconrad.ch/dev/portfolio/bank-coop-sparinvest-plus/

The problem is even worse with multiple movies on one page http://uweconrad.ch/dev/portfolio/voice-over/

Just discovered this while on Salient v8.0, updated to most recent 8.5.3, problem persists. Had some kind of php problem causing fatal errors about two weeks ago. My hoster solved it. Site was functional again after that but I didn’t check video functionality. Could this be the culprit? Did something else break back then?

Other than updating wp, plugins and salient, no changes to the site or the content were made.

If you need access to my backend, I created an admin account for you some time ago which is still valid. If you need the credentials you have to provide and email.

I’d greatly appreciate your help in this matter. I’m currently looking for a job and have send out lots of applications. Total bummer if potential employers are unable to watch my videos.

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Hey scratsmacker!

I can’t seem to replicate this locally – could you please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards with your admin credentials so I can l log in and take a further look for you? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks

Hey ThemeNectar

Did you receive the login credentials I sent you? I’m sure you’re very busy and I don’t want to rush you. Just checkin’.

Hey scratsmacker, sorry for the delay! Just responded in regards :)

Cheers

Hiya, this week I’ve installed the recent Salient release (Version: 8.5.3 & VC Version 5.2.4) but now the page builder will not boot. I’ve tried it on different browsers but it just won’t load

Hey rsuproniuk,

If you’ve already verified that no third party plugins are causing this, please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards with your admin credentials so I can l log in and take a further look for you.

Am I able to modify the css of elements to create a broken grid layout? https://designshack.net/articles/layouts/how-to-break-the-grid/

Hey,

A broken grid can be created with the image element in Salient – there’s a studio template showing an example of this called “Clever Overlapping Quote”

http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/

Cheers

Can I only use the image element for the broken grid format? Also, am I able to customize the css to provide this same effect to various elements in addition to the image element.

Hey,

Pulling columns to overlap horizontally outside of the image element would require custom css, however vertical overlaps are possible via row translates or column negative margins. There’s many studio templates which demonstrate this as well

Cheers

Hello Team,

Something weird happening with Salient theme font is not working in mac device while it’s working normal on windows. I am also getting some error like below.

Hey princebhalani143,

Could you please share the URL where this occurs so i can inspect the setup?

Cheers

Thanks for reply.

Hi

This is my search result page https://goo.gl/GUC3rm and I want to remove the link on the right and things like ‘recent post’ and ‘trending now’.

On your last comment your recommendation is modifying “search.php” but I have no idea which section in search.php that I have to remove

Best regards

Another question

In comment section, what I have to do in order to put text after red star like “required but not collected” for e-mail https://goo.gl/TE4vFG

Thanks in advance

Hey Dude24,

1. You don’t need to modify the search.php for that – those are being populated from the page widget area which you can edit in your admin panel > appearance > widgets

2. Could you please share your URL in regards so I can check your settings to assist?

Cheers

Hi, I’m using a fancy box with the parallax hover effect. I need to make the dark overlay less dark or remove it at all, how I can do?

Hey,

add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:


body .nectar-fancy-box[data-style="parallax_hover"] .bg-img:after {
    background-color: rgba(40,40,40,0.25);
}

Cheers

Does salient allow for horizontal scrolling?

Never mind I see Sailent doesn’t offer this

Hey lindsayclineco, i’m glad you found what you were looking for

Cheers

Hi, we cannot change our store template design. Right now it does not even look we are using Salient theme compared to your demo’s. Where can we change it?

Hey luckskywalker, please share your store URL in regards so I can see your settings to assist :)

Thanks

Hi! I have a dev redoing my portfolio category page permalinks. They have sent me some PHP code for the child theme. The changes display fine, but if I refresh the permalinks (from settings -> permalinks), the category pages start returning a 404. To fix it, I have to remove the updates from the child theme functions.php, refresh the permalinks again, and then restore the updates to the child theme and NOT refresh permalinks. Then the category pages can be found normally.

Just wondering if you’ve ever run into this and/or know why it’s happening? Thank you!

Hey skiffie!

Could you kindly provide the code that they’ve given you for the child theme so I can inspect it to assist?

Cheers

Certainly thank you! The portfolio categories are currently /blog/project-type/category-name/ and I need them to be /portfolio/theme/category-name/, so it looks like this:

//rewrite /blog/project-type/ to /portfolio/theme/

add_action('init', 'themes_dir_add_rewrites');
function themes_dir_add_rewrites() 
{
    global $wp_rewrite;
    $wp_rewrite->extra_permastructs['project-type']['struct'] = '/portfolio/theme/%project-type%';

    $position = strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/portfolio/theme/');
    if ($position !== false)
    {
        $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = str_replace('/portfolio/theme/', '/blog/project-type/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
    }
}

Sorry for all the questions lately, thanks for your help! One more quick question. Would it be possible to link the team member pop-up “bio shown full screen module” to just a simple text button like a CTA rather than a bio image?

I’m guessing it would take some customization on our end but if you could point us in the right direction that would be great.

Thanks again!

One more quick question for you. Is there any way to increase the number of widget areas? We are trying to add different widget areas in the page builder on different pages. – Thanks!

Hey!

It would require custom css to alter the layout and possibly modding to the shortcode-processing.php file located in the nectar/tinymce directory if you need text/links beyond what’s possible by default

Cheers

woocommerce digital download product question. After downloading, the page will not return. http://www.skillfactory.co.kr/digital/return_error.jpg

Hey,

Are you using page transitions? If so, please ensure that the “Disable Fade Out On Click” option in on and that your transitions method is set to “Standard” in the Salient options panel > page transitions tab.

Cheers

thank you so much. I solved the problem.

You;re welcome :)

Hi this is a great theme. I just have one request regarding the blog roll. On Classic Enhanced Masonry Style the image is changed to be 400×269 which is cropped and so part of my image is cut out. The 430×242 version of the image is not cropped. Is there a way to stop this cropping so that the blog shows the whole featured image? Perhaps changing the image to the 430×242 version?

Hey, in the Salient > functions.php file you need to change this line:

add_image_size( 'portfolio-thumb', 600, 403, true ); 
and then run the plugin mentioned above to regenerate your thumbnails :)

Thank you so much, your solution worked great! God bless you.

You’re very welcome! :)

Hi, I am using the masonry style blog to feature posts, however, I cannot get the post to open in a new tab. I am using Page Links To, but it is not working. I tried turning off the animated transitions, but this only worked for the list style posts.

Hey,

Have you contacted the plugin developer of Page Links To? I haven’t personally tested with that plugin to know if there are limitations or what logic it’s using to add the blank targets

Cheers

Hi,

I’m calling in the RSS feed of a WP site to display the latest posts in a widget. This works when switching to the default WP themes or using another site’s feed, but I get an XML formatting error when using Salient;

XML parsing error: <unknown>:2:0: XML or text declaration not at start of entity

<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8”?><rss version=”2.0”

http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.anthonyformalwear.co.uk%2Fnews%2Ffeed%2F

Thanks

Andrew

Hey Andrew,

There issue showing is that there is an empty line at the top, by default this shouldn’t be the case as shown on the demos https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fthemenectar.com%2Fdemo%2Fsalient-blog-ultimate%2Ffeed%2F

Have you already gone through the basic checklist for this issue as mentioned here?: https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/error/WPBlankLine.html

Cheers

Thanks for your help it was a single empty line after the ?> in the child theme functions file!

Glad to hear you’ve found it :)

Cheers!

Could you please add official support for the Artstation icon inside Salient panel options. It was requested months ago and still not fulfilled. I am still waiting. Artstation is in the 100 most visited websites on internet and growing and we still don’t have it. Thank you!

Hey moth3r, it will be available when Fontawesome adds it into their list – I can see you’ve already added a +1 to the idea over there as well though https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/5354

Cheers

No matter what I could not figure out how did you manage to mix portfolio items with additional item fields like “View – ALL PROJECTS’ and ‘SOCIAL’? Could you please describe how I can turn these features on? There is nothing about it in the help/FAQ or anywhere else. Thank you! http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-agency/full-width-masonry/

Hey, in the project configuration metabox you must enable the option for “Custom Content Grid Item” for the project you wish to display custom information. You can then use the smaller editor that appears to add custom text/shortcodes etc. as shown in the Agency demo

Cheers
