Hi! I have imported the minimal demo with success, but in the proccess I accidentally reset all the settings from the salient options. It seems many elements have been altered and i can’t find how to get them as they were. How can i make a clean import of a demo all the way from scratch? Thanks!

Hey daf13!

There’s a handy <ahref=”https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/reset-wordpress-website/”>plugin to quickly reset your WP setup if you’re trying to start over and re-import the demo :)

Cheers

Fixed bugs? Tickets not resolved ‍♂️

Hey tecnologyuy, I checked out your ticket earlier today and responded in regards

Cheers

Hi, for some reason on this page https://aliandchrishomes.com/portfolio/21-rue-picardy/

when I look on my phone, there is a HUGE gap on my mobile phone between the section with the conter and the tabs. How can I get rid of this! Alo the tabbed sections have no margin on the sides on my, none at all despite being in a container. Thanks!

Hey silverlithomes!

I’m currently not seeing this occur when testing on my end: https://imgur.com/a/oR62a could you please let me know what phone you’re testing on?

Cheers

It’s not doing it anymore. Thanks!

Hey, glad to hear silverlithomes :)

Hi, would this theme work with Elementor rather than with Visual Composer?

Hey LuisFaus, you could that builder, but you’d miss out on all the of the Salient specific page builder elements which are added to VC

Cheers

OK cool, thanks for letting me know.

You’re welcome :)

Hi, i want to display counters like 00.15, 25.05 but its not showing up, how to do it please? its very important.

Hey berkeleyassociates, to display numbers like those you would need to set the milestone element to the “motion blur slide in” Animation Effect.

Cheers

Thank You! it works but the effect changed, cant keep the same effect?

Hey berkeleyassociates,

Unfortunately using characters like that it wouldn’t be possible to have the “count to” effect

Cheers

Is there a way to add an additional accent color?

Hey wmbcmarketing, not without custom modding at this time. However i’ve noted your +1 for the idea :)

Hi. I noticed the header is not truly transparent – on reduced screen sizes it creates a solid background. Will you ever be implementing a transparent background for reduced screen sizes??? Would look so much better! Or does it work and am I missing something? Cheers

Hey, it would require custom css – I could provide an example snippet to get you in the right direction if you have a mockup/further details as to what you’re trying to accomplish. Or you could look into getting a freelance dev on Envato studio :)

Hi again. All good. I got a freelance dev on Envato and all is well. I did notice however that the transparent header does not work when mobile is rotated landscape. Is that the case for tablet as well?

Hey Coastdesign,

Are you using the permenant transparent header option? If so, kindly share the site URL so I can take look

Cheers

Hi,

we’ve been having issues with payments on our website recently. Someone has tried to make a purchase via credit card on multiple occasions, but received an error message saying :

“error your order can not be processed please try again later”

I tried to make a purchase myself and it was successful. I also contacted my payment merchant, and they don’t believe it is an issue on their end, and they informed me to contact the developer to resolve the issue.

Can you please look into this so we can resolve the issue.

Thanks

Hey sandman101, are you using WooCommerce for your online store or is powered by another system? Could you provide the URL where this exists so I can take a look?

we are using wooCommerce

url : varanno.com

Hey sandman101,

Salient doesn’t alter the WooCommerce checkout functionality other than surface level stuff such as style styling. Have you tried to reach out on the WooCommerce forums to see if there’s any known circumstances that could cause this with the plugin?

Cheers

Hey Team Salient!

Quick question – Is there a way to change the color of toggle accordion title when selected. Right now it is white unselected, and if we select that toggle, it becomes blue.

Where to change the color of the text when selected ?

Thanks!

Hey fgodbo01!]

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


body .toggle.open h3 a {
    color: #fff!important;
}

Cheers

Hey, thanks again for your recent help! I had one random question that may or may not be possible. For the Project Slider demo (I loaded it here for the URL example: https://tinyurl.com/ybuv9bha) is there a way to customize the Call to action button? Ideally I would like to change the text of the button from “view project” to something I would prefer, but I have a feeling that if it can be changed it must be done globally. If that’s the case I’m wondering how I would change the text from something like “view project” to “go” or “learn more”. Thanks so much!

Hey Liyte!

You can create a .po file in regards from the included .pot file to translate this string :)

If you would prefer to modify it directly in the code, see the nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php file and search for “fullscreen_zoom_slider”

Cheers

is there a way to style the create an account select box on the checkout page with the fancy forms enabled? it currently looks like the default:

Hey steveok,

Recent versions of WooCommerce must have effected this – I’ve noted to add the fix into the beta before the next release. If you’d like a copy please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page

Cheers

awesome cant wait for the new update! be great if you guys used something like this too for feedback https://canny.io/

Thanks for the suggestion steveok :)

Cheers

good morning, how are you?

I’ve set up the website portfolio as mansory style. In each portfolio item I upload the feature image in the correct way as well. But I’ve already set everything up in mansory style, but the portfolio continues this way with all square items. follow the link below to see how it is.

Hey, i’m seeing all elements on that page set to the “regular” sizing. Could you kindly reach out in regards with your admin credentials via the contact form on my author page so I can take a look at the backend?

ok! i send you now!

Thanks gennialedesign :)

Hi, what was the logic behind not including paragraph

setting in Responsive Settings? This is a first I’m working with this feature and I bit confused am I missing something in here? Great theme. Keep a good work! :)

Hey griddesign, an option for that was not purposely left out – it was never added because in general people don’t have as great of a need to scale that text for different viewports. I’ve noted your +1 for the idea however :)

For now you can alter it by adding this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:


@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
html body {
    font-size: 14px;
    line-height: 28px;
}
}

Cheers

Hi, how do I remove the Read More – button from the mansary blog page?

Hey tsoini3,

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


body article.post .more-link { display: none; }

Cheers

Hi, your overlapping Posts Slider & Masonry Blog template loads painstakingly slow on mobile. Got a ton of things on one page and everything loads quickly except for the blog in that template. Since it’s a template meant more for the top of a page then it’s an unfortunate problem since visitors will give up waiting for those blog items to load.

No clue why they’re any different in loading time from the other blog items I’ve got on the page.

Hey cyberfyber, please share your URL in regards so I can take a look :)

Hey is there a way to make it so an iframe doesn’t stop the page from scrolling on a desktop-size screen while the cursor is over the iframe? If you move your cursor to either side of the form window, it scrolls down the page as expected, and seems to scroll perfectly when it breaks to mobile screen size with touch scrolling…

It’s happening here: http://www.bradrachel.com/contact/

Let me know if I can provide any other helpful info.

Hey supersant03!

Turn the global page option off you have for “Activate Fullscreen rows” and it should work :) If you need to have the single row set to fullscreen height, you can use the checkbox option in row settings itself for “Full height row”

Cheers

That worked like a charm, thank you!

You’re welcome :)

Hello there, I’m thinking about purchasing your theme, but wanted to test some demo layouts first, so I opened Minimal Portfolio one:

http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-minimal-portfolio/

I opened it on an iPhone to test how it works on mobile devices and this is what I found out immediately:

1. Filter links (applications, branding, graphic design etc.) don’t work on a single click. I click, and I see it underlined, but no filter applied. In order to make it work I needed to click on the same filer again. This is frustrating.

2. Is there a way to remove the black screen animation? It’s slows the website down without adding any substance to it.

3. Gallery doesn’t work as it should on mobile devices. What I mean by that is that it opens a lightbox, and tiny arrows, like on a desktop computer, but you cannot swipe with your finger or anything like that, you need to look for this tiny arrow. This is not how it should work. When i click on gallery items, I expect photo to go full screen, and I should be able to swipe left or right to go through it. Is it possible to make it work this way?

4. I went through a few demos on my MacBook Pro 2009 and I noticed that the theme is loaded with so many scripts and animations, that my computers is almost boiling. Especially when I open internal portfolio pages, my fans are extremely noisy and the computer gets really hot. When I close Salient, it cools down almost immediately and everything is going back to normal. Is there any way to switch off some of the fancy animations and functionalities?

Overall impression is good, but I’m not sure if I can build a lightweight and simple portfolio based on this theme. I’m looking for something very minimalistic and fast. I just need to know that I would be able to strip down somehow all the things that I don’t need so it’s not loading in the background.

I’d like to know what’s your take on this.

Regards

Hey waveman777,

1. Thanks for reporting this, the next update will fix it. (It seems to be specific to iOS Safari)

2. Page transitions are optional

3. Not without custom development i’m afraid, the lightbox script Salient uses doesn’t offer this by default

4. Salient makes use of CSS3 animations, so the less elements you’re calling animations on the easier an older computer could perform better :)

Cheers

Thanks for the response.

Going back to point 3. This is very disappointing, you offer over 200 layouts, over 500 shortcodes, but only 1 lightbox solution which is not even mobile friendly, this is very strange taking into account that in some cases mobile users are the only ones visiting a particular website.

Regards

Thanks for your feedback. It’s very possible that in future releases another lightbox option will be added :)

Hi. I’m deciding if purchasing this theme, and have one question: is there a way to add another top bar on top of the actual menu+logo top bar, in order to have a submenu? Something like the gray top bar in this image https://imgur.com/a/B8aA9 Thanks.

Hey squizzo,

yes, there’s a header layout like this in regards

Cheers

Hello there and congratulations for your amazing theme!

I’m working on your theme for a client who has already purchased it and I have a question: in a portfolio item with Custom Content Grid Item enabled, is there a way to show up the featured image ONLY IF the user mouse hover the thumbnail? In other words, instead of make the Project Accent Color darker on mouse hover, my client would like to show up the featured image.

Thank you in advance!

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


.portfolio-items .col .work-item[data-custom-content="on"] img {
  opacity: 0;
  transition: opacity 0.3s ease;
}

.portfolio-items .col .work-item[data-custom-content="on"]:hover img {
  opacity: 1;
}

Cheers :)

Thank you so much!

You’re welcome :)

Hello… I’d like to use the transparent menu on my Blog posts, but do not have the option in to “Force Transparency On Navigation” like i do for pages? How can i achieve having a transparent menu on my blog?

Thanks Chris

Hey Chris,

If you have the option “Use Transparent Header When Applicable?” on in the Salient options panel, then all that’s needed for the blog nav to show transparent is to provide a post header image or color. Could you share one of your post URLs where you’ve done so and it’s not working?

Cheers
