Hi
Since updating to the latest version I’m having issue with with parallax on headers. I get part of the picture container box displaying under images. This disappears on scroll up. I tried switching to Material and back to Ascent and changing the header sizes but it does not make any difference.
Regards
PS Switching back to Ascent cleared the problem however I would like to start using Material. How can i get around the parallax problem?
Hey b1b, could you kindly share a URL where the problem can be observed so i can help out?
Cheers
Hey! I answered your question on my original question. But maybe I should write here because it seems like you may not see what I comment on old comments.
The infinite scroll do not work in Safari for macOS since I updated to the latest version of Salient. You can test it yourself on my beta: beta.crafty.se
Here you can se a video on the problem.
http://www.crafty.se/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/beta.crafty.mp4Hey Alexander,
I just tried replicated on your beta setup with Safari 10.2 & 11.0.2 and can’t see this occurring yet – can you let me know what version of Safari you’re on and also if you can see the infinite scrolling not firing on the demo? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-startup/blog/
Cheers
Embarrassing for me, emptied the cookies and it worked.
But another question. The dates in the blog flow have disappeared with the update. How do I add it again?
Hey, glad to hear you’ve sorted that – can you please email me in regards for a copy of the current beta which fixes the date issue on the meta overlaid masonry style?
Cheers
Hi there
I’d love to be able to set more than 2 gradient colours.
Is there a quick and easy way to add additional CSS gradient colours for elements.
Specifically fancy-boxes.
eg: I;d like to make a green gradient, a purple gradient etc
But because of the salient settings you can only set 2.
I’d like to make
Extra Color Gradient # 3, 4 5 etc
Thanks so much in advance!
Hey SuccinctDesign,
As of now it would require custom css, but I can provide an example snippet for you 
Just need to know what fancy style you’re using
Cheers
Hey ThemenNectar
Epic!
Here’s the code snippet:ie: I think one would have to write a new css class which you could apply to the fancy box, I just don’t know how to do it with gradients.
The whole data-color aspect is what is throwing me off.
here’s a link to my more in depth stack overflow post
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47948681/override-colour-for-gradient-setting-in-wordpress-themeYour themes and support are amazing, I hope in future updates you’ll add more colour options as gradients are so beautiful.
Merry Christmas too!
For example. If I could make a green gradient extra colour using #4BB66E and #AFDA69
Then a purple with #9E338C and #8E7BBB
etc etc
I’d be so happy Its going to look amazing
Hey SuccinctDesign,
You’d just need to add a custom class to the columnn holding the fancy box, for example “custom-color-1”. Once that’s been added, you could use the following CSS to target that box in an isolated manner:
.custom-color-1 .nectar-fancy-box[data-style="color_box_hover"][data-color]:hover:before {box-shadow: 0px 30px 90px #000 }
.custom-color-1 .nectar-fancy-box[data-style="color_box_hover"][data-color] .box-bg:after {
background: #4BB66E;
background: linear-gradient(to bottom right,#4BB66E,#AFDA69);
}
Merry Christmas
Whenever I edit a post, the page flicks towards the bottom of the page. Every time. It’s annoying and I’d love for it to stop lol https://gyazo.com/28bd4e642706dfeab0df14be8f1bf5c9 Any idea how?
Hey Shillianth!
This was fixed shortly after the release of WP 4.9 and is related to that WP version – please see the changelog in regards http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html
You need to be using the current version of the theme (8.5.3) and the Salient VC (5.2.4) in order to ensure WP 4.9 compatibility
Cheers
Awesome, thanks! Thought I had updated it already.
No worries!
Hi, I want the cart icon show the number of items in cart on phones too. Is it possible?
Hey bonnieandclick,
Yes – in the new “Material” theme skin, which is available to select in the theme otions panel > general settings tab, this is the default functionality
Cheers
Shouldn’t Comments be automatically enabled on Posts? Does Salient block them in some way? I used to have the Disable Comments plugin, which I have now deleted as I want comments to be allowed on the Blog posts (not pages) and I have ticked the appropriate boxes in Settings >> Discussion. But still no comment box showing below the articles. Just a tab that says “No Comments” (https://www.screencast.com/t/TtbJv9iZKoP) next to the article headline. I couldn’t find any comment-related options under Theme Settings, looked under Blog Styling and Functionality… and there aren’t any other plugins that I can think of which might be blocking comments. Any suggestions?
Hey page702, yes comments are enabled by default for posts and Salient doesn’t offer and in built functionality to remove comments from blog posts. Could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so we can take a further look into this? https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Cheers
Hi—on my website www.thefictionstoryroom.com I’d like to know if there is a way for me to not use a side bar on certain blog posts so that I can design some posts like a page?
Also when I click on the templates function within a post or page I’m creating how come I am unable to see a preview of the templates like in some of the other themes? I have to select a template, then preview it on the page just to see what it looks like. Is this behavior normal?
Thanks! Jay
Hey Jay,
1. The single post archive will pull from the styles set in regards in the Salient options panel, altering single items to use different options would require CSS as of now. Here’s an example you could use to target this specific post https://thefictionstoryroom.com/make-short-film-look-cinematic/
body.single-post.postid-4173 .post-area.col {
width: 100%!important;
float: none;
margin-right: 0;
}
body.single-post.postid-4173 #sidebar {
display: none;
}
2. Could you please open a ticket in regards with more information/or your admin login so I can examine what you’re referring to closer?
Cheers
I don’t think I am able to open a ticket, but here is a visual with more details I’m what I’m trying to do..
https://thefictionstoryroom.com/templatedsiplayJust would like to preview the templates before applying them to a post or a page. I’m using the theme on 2 of my websites. I’m able to preview the templates on one but not the other.
Thanks! Jay
Hey JayCarver, thanks for providing the image to clarify – it would appear that you either just need to update your version of the Salient VC to the current (5.2.4) or that you may need to clear your browser cache if you just recently updated
Hi there ThemeNectar, but I have cleared my cache as well as updated to the latest version and it only seems to work on one of the websites I have it applied to. I just checked a third website I have at http://www.jamescarveronline.com and I am unable to preview the templates there as well. Thoughts?
Hey, could you please reach out in regards with the admin credentials to either of the sites that are not showing the studio preview images using the contact form on my author page? I would need to take a look to see why that would be occurring for you
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar—sure, I just sent you an email through this themeforest website with the username and password. Let me know what you find.
Thanks! Jay
Thanks, just located the email and have responded
Hi, Any idea of the best way to integrate a typeform form into a page? I’ve tried everything I can think of and everything looks pretty lame. Thanks!
Hey silverlithomes, what looks lame about it to you? Could you kindly share the URL where you’ve added it so I can take a look?
Cheers
Well in this case I’m trying to figure out how to insert a form from differ company I mentioned above because I’m trying to figure out what I need, but in short I want to be able to display nice forms. So if you go here for example http://studiolaflamme.com/kissflow-test/
regardless of what I do I always have a scroll bar on the right, and can’t seem to get it to just look like it fits. I’d like to be able to embed something like this into a page, and perhaps you can tell me how or what plug in to use to create a kind of lightbox popup for this?
Thanks!
Hi, Love the new Corporate 2 layout! I have looked everywhere for code that would remove the date from the roster of posts. Not sure how to explain what I mean… It is when all the posts are listed on one page with a thumbnail and description beside it. Under the description, it shows author and date. I would love to remove both, but the date is most important. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks Zanita
Thanks Zanita!
If you’re still using the featured image left layout which the corporate 2 demo imports by default, add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
.post-area.featured_img_left .post-content-wrap .grav-wrap { display: none!important; }
Cheers
Thank you for all the help and wonderful theme!
You’re very welcome
Hi, I need to use the original visual composer shortcode vc_section, how can reactivate it? I would need to use also the visual composer grid, is it possible in some way? thanks
Hey pensareweb,
Unforutnately there’s no way to gain access to those specific features without using the raw VC at this time
there some way to use or alternative to visual composer grid?
Hi, I’ve a pre-sale question: Visual Composer plugin is pre-installed, or your theme use its own page builder? Thank you
Hey thebugbear, we include a custom version of the VC plugin, called “Salient VC”. It’s not pre-installed, but included as a plugin
Cheers
I tested a lot of themes now over years. Salient definitv is NO. 1 theme with less issues and best support. Combine Salient with Silder Revolution an you have best theme ever Hang in there!. IMPORTANT: Please implement XING as social media (backend). It´s realy missing. Regards, BD.
Hey born-design, that’s awesome to hear!
Thanks for the request as well
Cheers
Hi, I’m using the Automatic Post Excerpts, which is working except no read more button is showing. How do I go about fixing this.
https://blog.wahi.co.za/thank you
Hey tricks28,
The ascend skin does not show the read more button by default. To get it to show, add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
body.ascend .masonry-blog-item .more-link {
display: block;
}
Cheers
Great, Thank you!! Much appreciated.
You’re welcome tricks28
1. latest theme, 2nd time I’ve notice an issue with the “Custom Heading” element. This time on a brand new install. When you put any number but blank in the line height field of it, it suuuuper spaces it out like 10x fold. I’d provide a link but i’m building now so I’ll not keep it.
2. Feature Request, add option to change font options for the “Single Testimonial” element. Currently the text defaults to the H2, And the only testimonial options available are in Salient>Typography>Nectar Specific Elements – and that’s for the Testimonial Slider/Blockquote, which only seem to control the Testimonial Author text. I’d also love to have different Quote Icon positions for this element. Currently you can only position it above.
Hey SiteTonight,
1. The Custom Heading element is not a Salient specific element, its styles/functionality are the same as the raw VC version. You need to specify “px” with your line height attribute other wise it will default to em
2. Thanks for the request
Cheers
Width of website for certain device sizes… for example what code do i need to fix in order to do “fixed type” not the “responsive type” from 1000px to 1400px.
Hey metalshout, please see my response to your previous comment in regards
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar,
Brilliant theme!!!!! Updates are amazing as always.
It is possible to add a phone numnber and social media icons similar to what’s seen here: http://crystaller.com/
Many thanks.
Best, Alan
Thanks Alan!
The layout will be most similar to that when using the material skin, available in the Salient options panel > general settings tab
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar,
How would I go about adding content into the tab above the navigation bar after selecting “material” skin from the general settings tab?
Many thanks, Alan
Hey Alan, the secondary header option must be enabled via the options panel > header navigation > layout related tab. Once it is you can add your social icons via the options below and links via the appearance > menus section of your admin panel
Thanks for the help. I have a couple follow-up questions:
I have the secondary menu setup now.
1. Is it possible to change the background colour and the font colour?
2. Is it possible to switch the placement of the text and social media icons?
Thanks for your help.
Best, Alan
Hey again!
1. Yes, in the header navigation > general styling tab enable “custom” for the “Header Color Scheme”
2. This would require css – add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
body #header-secondary-outer #social {
float:rightt;
}
body #header-secondary-outer .sf-menu {
float: left;
}
Cheers
Hi! How to restore search bar full weight/screen?
Hey Mirkomatrix,
The Ascend skin (available to set in the Salient options panel > general settings tab) is the only skin that provides that search style
Cheers
Tnx! Resolved
You’re welcome
Hey Guys,
Is it possible to make the contact button in the menu bar a gradient colour?
Thanks
Hey Ben, unfortunately not as of now, but i’ve noted the idea!
Hi, two small questions. 1) On the Promo page, how did you achieve the overflow sections (Blog and portfolio)? I only see overflow sections for testimonials and team members. I tried creating a flickity carousel but I can’t get my pictures to be large like they are on the promo page. 2) For the Process section, I want to have a dark background so I chose to have the text for the section to be light. However, this also makes the numbers within the white circles to be light too, so you can’t see them. Is there a way to make these numbers dark?
Hey mikelaha,
1. It is indeed using a carousel element set to the flickity style + Fixed text content fullwidth and the desktop columns set to 1
2. Can you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look at the setup to assist?
Cheers
Hey, try to add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
html body .nectar-icon-list[data-icon-style][data-icon-color] .list-icon-holder[data-icon_type] span {
color: #000!important;
}
Cheers
Yes! Perfect, thank you! I really need to learn CSS
You’re welcome mikelaha
Hi
Your svg icons initially load on a mobile device when you, view for example: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate/ but when you click on a link on this page to take you to another page, let the other page load and then click back you will see the svg icons don’t appear? It only happens on mobile devices.
Hey rwilson86, are you only experiencing this via the back button in the browser? (i.e. not navigating using the theme menu)
I’ve noted to test with this for the next update
Cheers
Hi, yeah just using the back button on a browser when on mobile device.
Thanks
Thanks for confirming – if you’d like to email me in regards to get access to the latest beta, i’ve already added a fix for this issue
