Is it possible to create another “Sort Portfolio” button with a different set of categories? My goal would be to have more than one.

Hey eideindustries,

Unfortunately as of now this would require custom development

Cheers

Hi Themenectar,

We just updated to the latest Wordpress and Salient release, but a portfolio option still isn’t working.

Salient has the option, to have a set of controls at the bottom (or top) of every portfolio item. You can click to the previous or next item and in the middle is an extra button. The button consists of 9 grey squares and when you click on it, it is supposed to take you to the portfolio overview page (the grid with all the portfolio items). But instead the button just links to the portfolio item you are already on. Any idea how this can be fixed?

Thanks in advance,

Milan

Hey Milan,

In the Salient options panel > portfolio > functionality tab, you need to supply a URL for the option titled “Main Portfolio Page URL”

Cheers

Hi Guys, I just posted a ticket #1436958 if you could help me out I would really appreciate it. Thanks again and great theme!

Hey SuccinctDesign,

just responded in regards :)

Hello, is the Salient theme compatible with Bootstrap libraries? Regards

Hey Pepito73,

There would likely be a couple of conflicts with the grid system as Salient uses a different grid system at the core

Cheers

Can you tell me which one you use? Thanks

Hey, we made a minimal one which is located in the css directory of the theme called “rgs”

Cheers

...and if I use a project accent color on an portfolio item and style “meta overlay w/zoom effect on hover” it does not show any color at the frontend anymore. usually with that style it shows a dimmed image before hover but that effect is gone if you type in any accent color for the portfolio item. Is that mend like that?

Hey,

1. When using the custom content grid item, this changes how the coloring works. It gets set as a solid color, but will sit on a different layer behind the BG image in this case. However, if you didn’t supply an image you would see the color. To make it like a non custom grid item, add this css:

body .portfolio-items .col:not([data-default-color="true"]) .work-item[data-custom-content='on'] .work-info-bg {
    opacity: 0.45!important;
    z-index: 10;
}
body .portfolio-items .col:not([data-default-color="true"]):hover .work-item[data-custom-content='on'] .work-info-bg {
    opacity: 0!important;
}

2. When adding a custom ext URL to a project, it sets a link on the whole project item – which is what you end up hovering on and therefore can’t also hover on the custom button you’ve added in the grid item which is behind it. Why not add that URL to the button itself and not set it as an external URL?

Cheers

Thanks for the custom css ;-). I do understand the issue with the button hover animation in combination with the custom link. I have to decide which way I go but thank you for explaining this to me.

You’re welcome markimark :)

Hello. I have a question regarding your Full Screen Zoom Slider that is available in your FullScreen Portfolio demo (Recent Projects component). Is it possible to show the project title next to those little tabs in the right side bar? How can I achieve this? Many thanks.

Hey csaenvato,

Unfortunately there’s no default option for this and adding that markup there would require a combination of custom PHP modding/CSS or custom JS/CSSS

Cheers

Hi. Thanks. Can you tell me what files need to be edited and provide some help? This is very important to us.

Hey csaenvato, a mod like this is beyond the scope of support that I am allowed to provide – the file that generates the markup is called init.js and is located in the js folder. Search for the function “fsProjectSliderInit” to end up at the right place and then see this section inside of it https://pastebin.com/PDSLJC41

Hi there, I’m shopping around for a good, clean, feature-rich, multi-purpose theme that i can use as the standard start point for most of my client projects. I do work with a coder a little, but I don’t really want to get into building designs from the ground up in a blank or minimal theme. I’m trying to work out whether Salient is for me. I’m in two minds about visual composer based themes. They can be great for me when designing a complex multi-element page like the home-page, without needing my coder to write a template for it, but my impression is that VC based pages tend to have slower load times, and i don’t think they’re all that great for client use when updating content. For pages that the client will interact with frequently, I prefer to create simple custom fields, and have my coder write a template to display the page design. Is there an effective way of integrating VC with Custom Fields? Like using the VC to build the template, but then being able to present a simple clear admin page of custom fields for the user to udpate? Maybe I just have to use VC for some key pages and custom fields and a bespoke-written template for others? I’ve purchased some themes in the past that offer an online test-lab demo with a temporary username and password so that one can get a feel for the theme before purchasing. Do you have anything like that? Also is there a multi-site licence available if I’m looking for a purchase from which to build multiple projects? Thanks

Hey Crispy0212,

Unfortunately we don’t have an online test demo for you to create sample pages in the backend with. As far as converting the setup to use custom fields instead of VC, wouldn’t work out of the box as VC does processing for the VC specific elements and if that logic doesn’t run, the element won’t get parsed correctly

Cheers

Hi, I wanted to use this Google Font – Zilla Slab https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Zilla+Slab

But I didn’t find it in the Google Fonts list available. Is there any way to update the list? Or the only way is by adding this font in CSS?

Thanks

Hey Ilic74,

The Google font list has been updated in the current beta and that font is in the list :) If you’d like a copy of the beta, please just reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page

Cheers

hi, can anyone see this problem? When i add Element “tabs” on a page, then add element “blog” for each tab, I select ‘masonry blog no sidebar’, ‘material style’, then update the page. then open this page, I sew the first tab is ok, but the second tab displays wrong blog.

Hey Rogerlai,

This issue is going to be fixed in the next release :)

Cheers

Is there a way to apply the same rollover style that is used with portfolios or posts e.g. http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-photography/ OR http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/image-grid/ to just a single image? A one off. So when the user rolls over a single image, it darkens, text appears and when they click it goes to a page that I can determine? If not, it would be great if there was a shortcode to do this….

Thanks. This workaround works except if the row is a full width container – it crops the image. Is there a way to specify that the image be displayed in it’s correct ratio?

Hey Coastdesign,

The team member elements sets the image supplied as a BG image, so getting a custom aspect ratio would require css such as:

body .team-member[data-style="meta_overlaid_alt"] .team-member-image {
    padding-bottom: 10%;
    box-sizing: content-box;
}

Play with the 10% value to adjust the height :)

Cheers

Thanks for the code. Unfortunately it pixelates the image even tho I have uploaded a 2880px. Maybe you guys could look at including the rollover feature for a single portfolio item and, if desired, a single blog item. That way users can construct a more exacting home page.

Hi. Trying to find where I can insert purchase code :)

Hey atlantchiropractic, a purchase code is not needed to run Salient in the wp-admin, it’s only requested when accessing the support forum and of course it’s needed to use the theme legally

Cheers :)

Is there a way to add the audio player under the image in the material design?

Hey bradleyscott,

Are you referring to the audio blog post format?

Cheers

Yes. In classic design the audio player is there (without the image). In the Material Design there is an image, but no audio player. Ideally I would like both. The image with the audio player underneath.

Hey bradleyscott, the only way to achieve that without custom modding would be to use the classic style set to video format and then provide the format as a video with the audio/image inside of that video

Hi there. I was wondering if you offer custom development services? Thanks!

Hey artmagiclabs,

We don’t personally take on freelance projects for customization, however Envato studio provides a long list of people for this https://studio.envato.com/ :)

Hello,

We use a premium form plugin called FormCraft, and it looks like Salient breaks its File Upload functionality. In Salient, clicking a File Upload button in a FormCraft form will not bring up a window to select which files to upload. However, switching the theme back to Twenty Seventeen fixes this, meaning Salient theme is probably the cause.

Do you know if this is something that can be fixed? I tested on Windows 7 with Chrome, Firefox and IE11, and on MacOS with Chrome, all with the same results. Thanks.

Hey theoceanagency, could you kindly also verify that you have your Overall Form Style set to “Inherit from theme skin” in the Salient options > form styling tab?

Cheers

Hello,

It looks like that fixed it. After setting Overall Form Style to “Inherit from theme skin”, the upload file button on the FormCraft form works again. Thanks for the assistance!

Glad to hear theoceanagency :)

Hello ThemeNectar, excellent theme. I’ve recently installed it and imported the: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-agency/ demo. But it doesn’t import everything. Basically what I am looking for is a way to port over exactly what is on your demo site. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks ebwe :)

Can you please share the URL where you’ve imported it so I can take a look at what’s missing for you?

Cheers

Thank you ThemeNectar, I altered up my PHP settings but importing the agency settings still didn’t work correctly. https://wp.casengineers.com/

Hey ebwe,

I’m seeing that the front page imported correctly, but can’t check the other pages since the menu isn’t assigned yet – have you tried to set it the Appearence > menus section of your admin panel yet? In regards to the stock images – unfortunately demos created longer than a year ago used premium stock photos which couldn’t be included (so they’re swapped for placeholders). More modern demos use free to use images and can be readily provided: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/importing-demo-content/

Cheers

Please, helpme. Y need change the icons of the theme. Where i can change this? This icons of menú > http://www.stonershouse.cl/ I need change in this salient > http://www.h2o.cl/stonershouse/

Hey h2ostudiochile,

It would require custom css to swap the search and cart icons like this:

.icon-salient-cart:before, body[data-is="minimal"].material .icon-salient-cart:before {
 content: "\e902"!important;
}

body[data-is="minimal"] #header-outer .icon-salient-search:before, body.material #header-outer .icon-salient-search:before {
    content: "\e906"!important;
}

However, it wouldn’t be possible to easily change the menu icon, as each line in it is a separate css entity – it’s not all one icon like the others, since it gets animated.

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar, is it possible to have video or a gif as thumbnail in the portfolio grid?

Hey Rappa,

Unfortunately not at this time for videos, however if you use the custom thumbnail upload field instead of the featured image for your project, you could use an animated gif. You’d just lose the automatic image sizing that the featured image provides.

Cheers

Hi,

According to this page: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/theme-options/blog On the classic and classic enhanced masonary blog style both show the number of likes and date/author/comments depending on the style on the bottom of the post. I just did a fresh install of WP and the Salient theme and that information isn’t showing on either blog type. It’s also not showing on the official demos:

Classic: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/blog-masonry-fullwidth

Classic Enhanced: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-startup/blog/

Was this removed intentionally? And if so, can it be added back? Thanks.

Hey mdgadley,

The last update removed it by accident and it’s coming back to that style in the next update. The beta has already sorted the issue, so if you’d like an early fix please just reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards :) https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar,

I reached out via the contact form two days ago but haven’t heard back. Can you still send me the beta while waiting for the next final release?

Thanks.

Hey, just located your email and responded in regards. Thanks for your patience :)

Cheers

Hey there, We recently launched a website with this theme and it’s a great theme. A big issue we are having however is that Google is ranking it lower because of multiple JS and CSS files that the theme requires. Do you have a solution in order for us to minimise the files? Thanks

Hey aglet,

Please see the documentation in regards to optimzing your setup for a production environment. We cover combining the theme assets (css/js) into single files http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/performance-optimization-guide/

Cheers

​Hi! Thanks for the help you can give me.

I’m having problems with the nectar slide on my website. 80% of the time the page loads the slider “does not activate”. Similarly, when the “Nectar Slider Style” option is selected in the “Image Gallery” item, it does not work correctly. Attached screenshots where the problem is appreciated. Can you think of any possible cause of the problem? Again, thanks for the help

Hey simon_saavedra!

Could you kindly share the actual URL where I can take a closer look into the issue for you?

Thanks :)

Thanks! This is: www.whynotmedia.cl

Thanks for sharing,

I can see a javascript error occuring when loading the slider that seems specific to your setup – have you already verified that it’s not a conflict occuring from a third party plugin by temporarily disabling others to rule that out?
