HI can the main banner in new corporate creative demo also use a slider?

Hey CapitalDigitalMedia,

Yes, a Nectar Slider could be placed in any demo if you desire :)

Cheers

Is it possible to add another image in the header? Preferably on the right side, close to the search icon? I can code, but I need to know where to add the image. Thanks in advance – love this theme!

Hey boelmikael, the issue is that you don’t currently have enough space for the image in your header with the settings you have. In order to make space quickly, the following snippet also reduces the font size of your header nav, however you could increase your header space through the theme options by altering the responsive max width in the general settings tab or by enabling the full with header layout

header#top nav > ul > li > a, body.material #search-outer #search input[type="text"] {
font-size: 11px;
}
img.legal500 {
    float: right;
}
#header-outer nav {
    float: left;
}

Thank you so much, that worked great! I know it’s a tight squeeze in the header. Would it be possible to make the image disappear on tablets and phones? Link: http://cphpub.com/dklaw/

Hey! You could use the following css:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
img.legal500 { display: none; }
}

Hey Nicko_217, please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page for the current beta that fixes this

Cheers

I can wait for the release :)

Glad to hear!

Hi Guys,

Please take a look at the bottom of the page here: https://photoskilled.com/privacy-policy/

Why is the home page link and the tile for the article there? And can I remove it?

Thanks

Doesn’t matter, I’ve fixed it, thanks

Hey 0754ben84, glad to hear you’ve sorted it :)

Hi. Where is the Smooth Scrolling option in the theme options panel (please be exact, because I don’t see it anywhere)? I want it to be more smoother when users scroll down the page. thanks.

Hey guy23,

When using the “Material” skin in the Salient options > general settings, no additional smooth scrolling gets applied and leaves the browser in charge of that. When using either of the other skins, additional smooth scrolling gets activated for the Chrome browser. Finally, there’s an additional legacy option for “Styled Scrollbar” in the general settings > functionality tab which applies smooth scrolling as well as a custom scrollbar.

Cheers

Does not display the number of shared https://yadi.sk/i/hPwFQ0893Ry49r

Hey Nicko_217, I just confirmed this issue on my end – by default the “variable height & meta overlaid” blog header style should not be showing the social sharing button in meta when using the option for “Fixed to bottom right of screen” social sharing style. i’ve added the fix for this into the beta and if you’d like a copy before it’s released just shoot me an email in regards Cheers

a bug with searching fixed there? https://yadi.sk/i/Y6jnXdEa3RypMc

Yes, and that bug only exists when using the “Header Inherit Row Color” within the Salient options panel > header navigation > transparency tab

Cheers

Howdy! Quick question- how exactly do we control and enable the fly-out sidebar seen on the latest update. I’ve found what appears to be the widget area for content, but I cannot seem to find where I enable it! Thanks :)

Hey Liyte!

In the Salient options panel > header navigation > off canvas navigation tab make sure you have the style set to “slide out from right” and that you’re using the material skin in the Salient options panel > general settings tab :)

Cheers

Good afternoon!

I’m wondering if there is a snippet of code I can add to either the custom CSS or functions.php of my child theme to disable the “Previous Post/Next Post” functionality at the bottom of each post. Ideally I’d like to hide it only from custom post types but I’m fine just having it removed altogether. All things equal, I would prefer the functions.php solution if that is an easy one for you to provide.

Thanks in advance! LOVE the theme. great work! :)

Hey bradcrumb,

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


.single-sfwd-courses .blog_next_prev_buttons, .single-sfwd-topic .blog_next_prev_buttons, .single-sfwd-lessons .blog_next_prev_buttons { display: none; }

Cheers

That solution is bang on the money! I’ve tested it and it works perfectly

Thanks so much!!

Glad to hear bradcrumb! :)

Hey, how can I change the amount of space between a Numbered Icon List?

Hey skucenski,

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


body .nectar-icon-list-item { padding-bottom: 30px; }

.nectar-progress-bar .bar-wrap {
    opacity: 1!important;
}

Cheers

Hey There – so the css for the spacing between the icon list helped but it is still pretty far apart. is this the only option to lessen the spacing? Thanks as always

Hey skucenski,

Could you kindly share a new URL where you’re using that element? The old one is now showing 404

Cheers

I use this theme http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce/ I’ve upgraded woocommerce plugins and I got this error “Your theme Salient contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce templates file. These files may need updating to ensure they are compatible with the current version of WooCommerce. You can see which files are affected from the system status page. If in doubt, check, check with the author of the theme”.

Hey arentik,

The last update that was just released from WooCommerce brought this about. We’ll be releasing an update shortly to remove that message. In the meantime, if you’d like a copy of the current beta lease reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar Cheers

Hi! There is way to auto update the quantity in cart page? The idea is not to click every time when I change the quantity.

I always use a snippet that is working in other themes, but I can’t do this with salient

add_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘cart_update_qty_script’ ); function cart_update_qty_script() { if (is_cart()) : ?> <script> jQuery(‘div.woocommerce’).on(‘click’, ’.quantity .plus’, function(){ jQuery(“[name=’update_cart’]”).trigger(“click”); }); </script> <?php endif; }

I apreciatte a lot your support! Thanks!

Hey Carolina_Pe, please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page so I can get a copy of the current beta which should resolve this: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar Cheers

Hi! I’ve already fill and send the form, please send asap. Thanks!!!

Thanks! I just located the email and sent you a copy :)

If you have a semi-transparent header/main menu, and then select parallax page header in the on-page options, you can see a grey bar along the top, like the header image isn’t fixed to the top of the page. I have tested with images of all different dimensions/proportions, but it’s always the same. It’s like the page header container needs about 82px negative top margin. (if you uncheck parralax it’s fine).

Hey ravenswoodmedia,

The new “Material” skin in the Salient options panel > general settings tab fixes the glitchy appearence you’re referring to when combining those options – however, there’s still no option by default to have a semi transparent nav at the top before scrolling without an additional line of CSS.

Cheers

Thanks, “material” works a bit better. Shame about no default semitransparent header!

To fix, I tried applying some negative top margin to “tp-bgimg defaultimg” but this just trimmed the photo. What is the additional line of CSS you refer to then please? Thank you.

Hey ravenswoodmedia,

With using the Material skin, you could use CSS similar to this:

@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) { #header-space { display: none; } }

Cheers

Blog posting date/event – I’m trying to use the blog feature as a way to showcase “events.” Is there a way to set the blog date and title to custom information and hide the published date? Or would this be better used as a portfolio item? I’d like to have the date of the event listed, then the blog title, then a small excerpt.

like this: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-startup/no-sidebar/

But the dates need to be in the future for the event. I tried doing this but the posts get placed in the “scheduled” rather than “published.” Is there a way to accomplish this without another plugin?

Thanks.

Adding to this: Is there a way to remove the dead space from the meta information being hidden? Say I hide the post date, how can I get the content to shift up so there’s not as much white space between content? Either at the end of a post like here: https://innsatstalbans.com/2018/02/cooking-with-the-seasons/ or on the events page… https://innsatstalbans.com/special-events/

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


body .blog-recent[data-style*="classic_enhanced"] .inner-wrap { padding-bottom: 0!important; }

Cheers

Would you know why the two pages are responding differently?

hi just wanna ask how do i make the side page bar (im using 2/3+1/3 row layout) sticky without using the widgetised sidebar?

Thank you

Hey devlicence,

The widgetised sidebar element is the only way to acheive this as of now outside of the option within the blog element itself for a sticky sidebar

Cheers

how to remove the border? https://yadi.sk/i/OyuXbZOl3RrNhT the error occurred in the search block https://yadi.sk/i/mGsNFXJF3RrNhr

Hey Nicko_217,

1. In order to have the fullscreen off canvas menu remove the header nav BG, you have to have the option on for “Use Transparent Header When Applicable?” in the options panel > header navigation > transparency tab, as well as supply a light & dark logo. The page calling the off canvas nav then must of course also be activating the transparent nav

2. In the Salient options panel > typography > nectar specific elements tab, adjust the line height field for the “Dropcap” element

Cheers

Hey Nicko_217, that’s only the off canvas navigation tab settings – all the above conditionals need to be met in order to have the header BG color get removed on opening the off canvas menu

Hello, on Woocommerce shop page, how can we hook in Visual Composer static content below the page header but BEFORE any of the shop content? . . Adding content to the Shop page in wordpress editor works to a certain extent, but it gets outputted BELOW the shop breadcrumbs and filtering options. . . We want it directly below the header. . . I’ve found info from other developers but nothing for Salient…

https://theme.co/apex/forums/topic/woocommerce-content-above-store-below-header/ https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/add-static-content-to-the-storefront-header/

Thank you!

Hey ravenswoodmedia,

You can use the “nectar_shop_header_markup” action :)

Cheers

Hi. No mention of that at all on Google or anywhere in your documentation.

http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/?s=nectar_shop_header_markup

Could you give a little more information please? I’m guessing you’re referring to adding…

do_action( 'nectar_shop_header_markup' )

...To functions.php?

(where would one create & place the content that would appear there)

Thank you

Hey ravenswoodmedia, that’s the name of the action you can hook to – it works the same way as any action in WP, so taking the example given in the article you linked: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/add-static-content-to-the-storefront-header/ you could just change “storefront_header” with “nectar_shop_header_markup”

Hi! I have found a problem with Salient. When I go to a category on www.crafty.se and scroll down a bit, then when I press a blog post a will get to the wrong blog post. See this screen recording http://www.crafty.se/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/BCBE93DA-05A4-4056-8D74-8593BD225278.mp4

I have tried to empty my cache but still the same problem. What to do?

Hey AlexanderMJ, when testing on a couple iPhones from my end I can’t seem to replicate this https://www.dropbox.com/s/66ux6kpcfzbfqfl/crafty.mp4?dl=0 could you please let me know what model iPhone you’re using?

iPhone X

Hi there,

Love your work, however I’m noticing some really high cpu usage with one of your latest templates. Really bad and on some computers I’ve tested it is sometimes slower to load.

Your Salient Magazine Blog theme (http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog-magazine/) seems to be running some heavy code that for some reason pushes the CPU (cooling fans go very loud on my personal computer).

Just an observation from just visiting the home page for a while. Maybe it’s the slider on the homepage? I don’t know what in particular is causing it but I thought I’d let you know because it isn’t good to have that for any website.

Will you be updating/fixing this or leaving it? I would like to know because I would love to use this theme if I know it will be fast and light load on the CPU. Or possibly tell me what needs to be turned off? I’ve turned of all sliders etc.

Hey DailyOffices,

the only “ongoing” use of scripting on that demo would be from the calculatinos to keep the sidebar sticky on scrolling, however it shouldn’t cause a high spike in processing power. I suspect you’re noticing that from the liberal use of CSS3 animations as that demo add hover effects/shadows for most of the posts. The only way to reduce that as of now would be to override the elements in use with CSS to disable them

Cheers

I’ll have to take them out. Thanks for responding.

You’re welcome DailyOffices :)
