Hi again!

I’m sorry if these questions have been already posted here but I couldn’t fin any answer…

1- How can I change the font in the meta of blog posts /portfolio (especially the title but also the catergory)? Same question for the nectar recent post widget in sidebar, I don’t know where I can change the font of latest posts titles…

2- We can change the color of category only under the Material skin, is this right? Why that’s a shame ;)

3- My site is in French, how can I change the text for automatic meta on blog posts like “read more” (button text) or “in” (reference to category) or “by” (reference to the author of the post)?

Than you very much!!!! <3 love your theme!

Hey LaureneCastor!

1/2. Could you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look at your theme settings to assist?

3. You can translate these items and all other theme strings by using the included nectar_salient_strings.pot to generate your own language .po file

Cheers

Hi ;)

1/2. https://ellezela.com/

3. I re-downloaded the theme with all the files and documentation and I found the nectar_salient_strings.pot but I can’t open it…

Hey,

1. You can use the “heading 3” field in the Salient options panel > typography > general HTML elements tab for the Portfolio style you’re using and the “Sidear, Carousel & Nectar Button Header Font” field in typography > nectar specific elements tab for the blog

2. Can you provide a screenshot of what text you’re referring to with: “color of category only under the Material skin”

3. What are you trying to open it in? There’s many translation plugins such as loco translate, WPML etc that can open it https://localise.biz/wordpress/plugin/beginners

Is it possible to display custom post types exactly the way Salient displays blog posts?

It’s got a coming soon page — I need to give you admin login.

Hey, you could open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials https://themenectar.ticksy.com just let me know the ticket ID here once you’ve done so

Cheers

Forgot to let you know the ticket number: 1475577

On the Safari browser the buttons appear to be greyed out. Could you tell me what I can do to fix that? You can see an example of this happening if you go to this web page: http://19theagency.com/websiteprojects/

Hey 19theagency, this appears to be happening as a css glitch from the button itself having an animation set – could you try removing that animation and instead set it on the parent column to test?

Cheers

Hello ThemeNectar,

thanks for your great support! Just a quick question: on mobile view there is quite a lot of white space below my footer. Example here: http://newer.mikekren.at/portfolio/tin-man-falls/ It’s like that on every page and only on mobile. It would be great to get rid of that.

Thanks! Mike

Hey Mike!

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

@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
#footer-widgets .container .row > div:not(:first-child) {
  display: none;
}
#footer-widgets .container .row > div:first-child {
  margin-bottom: 0!important;
}
}

Cheers

works perfectly, thanks!

You’re welcome :)

Hi Team, would it be possible to only purchase the “Mobile App” demo. I don’t need the rest.

THX

Hey suniels, unfortunately there’s no way to do that – as a WP theme, Salient is capable of creating any of the demos shown and there’s no way to purchase only a part of the theme

Thank you

You’re welcome :)

Hello there! I purchased this theme nearly two years ago and tried to use it but the portfolio just does not work the way I want it to. I want it to function as a simple gallery (I have more than 300 items so the gallery just does not work because it loads very very slow). When I click on an item, it should open the image in a lightbox. As of now, I can only get it to open as a completely new link despite the lightbox checkbox being selected. I would like no effects on hover while IN the gallery. I was wondering if there is any way to make this happen, am I missing something in settings I should change?

Hey arijanak!

Could you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look at why the lightbox is not triggering in your setup?

Cheers

Hi Nectar,

I’m looking to change the font of the title that shows up on the portfolio thumbnail items, but I can’t find it in the typography section. Any help?

Thank you very much! I love your theme!

Hey LaureneCastor!

Could you let me know what project style you’re using? Depending on that, it could either be controlled via the heading 4 or heading 3 field within the Salient options panel > typography > general html elements tab

Cheers

Hi! Oh thanks, I’ve found it, it was under heading 3! Sorry for the bother

Glad you found it :)

Hello, your ticksy page hasn’t been loading for me for the last couple of hours so I’ll ask my question here.

I want to put Morphtext (http://morphext.fyianlai.com/) in my Salient website. Could you guide me on how I can import the external css and js? Also, would I need to import Animate.css (http://daneden.github.io/animate.css/) as well? Animate.css is a requisite for Morphtext.

Thank you.

Hey thousandcurrents,

Are you still having trouble with the support forum now? You can use wp_enqueue_style and wp_enqueue_script in a child theme functions.php to add your custom scripts/stylesheets to the theme

Cheers

I’ve been using this theme for a few years. I’ve never had a problem changing or updating the logo via the salient options / Logo & Navigation. But now, when I upload a new logo, the site still points at and displays the old logo.

It’s been a while since I’ve had to update the logo. Maybe I’ve forgotten a step.

Update: It has been a while. I didn’t update the logo in the transparency section of the header navigation settings. :)

Hey rouge1,

Glad to hear you found the needed setting :)

Cheers!

@ThemeNectar – I noticed that menus won’t import using the standard WordPress Importer tool via the WP-CLI while Salient is the active theme because of a referrer check on line 1312 of salient/functions.php. I was able to fix mine by changing it to:

        if ( ! ( defined( 'WP_CLI' ) && WP_CLI ) ) {
            check_admin_referer( 'update-nav_menu', 'update-nav-menu-nonce' );
        }

Hopefully that can get included in the next release.

Hey mnbrass, thanks for letting me know – I’ve noted to add compatibility :)

As it seems as if it isn’t possible to post a reply to your reply on the comments, I will post here:

Hey rednosemonkey,

1. “Please do not be fooled by the beautiful demos…it is just not possible to get this theme to an acceptable size” The demos shown are indeed real instances of Salient, they’re not manipulated by any means to portray unrealistic performance. The ways in which you listed that you’ve optimized your own install actually exceed our demos, as we’re not using a CDN. Here’s a report from one of the demos using only the basic performance techniques which are covered in the docs: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/themenectar.com/zPgq4lnI

I should have said that we are using your ecom template. Your woocommerce score is shown here https://gtmetrix.com/reports/themenectar.com/4phe3gUd

125 requests, 3.77Mb size

You cannot run an ecom business with all this bloat. We have tried for months to make your theme work, but it is just so inefficient.

2. After a year they prevent you from posting in the forum unless you pay for support! This is not something specific to Salient, but a rule imposed by ThemeForest. You get a certain number of months with free support and then following that period, you can optionally buy additional support time if needed. You’re actually always allowed to post comments directly on our ThemeForest page whether you’re past your support period or haven’t purchased the theme yet. If you believe you’ve found a bug and wanted to reach out to confirm, you could have posted there or sent and email, however I see no comments ever submitted from this username: https://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/4363266/comments

I was expecting to be able to notify you of bugs through support. Isn’t that how it usually works. I understand that this has nothing to do with you. And everything to do with the marketplace that promotes your premium theme. And how do we find your email?

3. Currently the theme doesn’t even support the latest version of Woocommerce, and it’s been 3 months already, and still no theme updates. The new version of WooCommerce was released a week ago, and we’re releasing an update this week (which we’ve been actively passing the beta version of to users).

You had a warning up a couple of days ago that was dated from November about the theme not being compatible. I assumed this was the cause of the PHP bug that we have had for a few weeks now.

If you’re no longer going to be using the theme and are unsatisfied with it, feel free to request a refund at any time: http://themeforest.net/refund_requests/new

Thank you. We are desperately trying to find time to move to an efficient woocommerce theme. I will request a refund as soon as we have done this.

Cheers

Hey rednosemonkey,

The demo you’ve shown a report for currently has caching and minifcation disabled for testing, which you can see directly in the graph of where the scores are coming from when looking at the report. However, if you check another ecommerce demo such as “Buisness” that has caching and minifcation on, you’ll see a different story:
Total Page Size: 1.12MB Requests: 52

https://gtmetrix.com/reports/themenectar.com/aTjvNUiR

2. There’s a contact form directly on my author page: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar I also am not sure what PHP bug you’re referring to or what warning you could have been shown from WooCommerce from that long ago as the first “Your theme contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files.” Just appeared with the release of 3.3x. Please document specifically what you’re referring to when reaching out

52 requests is not optimized! The way the theme is coded makes concating a very tricky process, so I understand why you are left with so many requests. As a side note, its interesting that this theme doesn’t have the injected inline header CSS. The same CSS that I have asked in the past how to remove, and you said couldn’t be.

And no, the bug is not the woocommerce one. If there is no support process for notifying bugs after 1 year, then so be it. It’s your theme, and we are moving to an efficient one.

Hi! The blog posts don’t open anymore on click from the blog page. I can access the public content of a blog post only if I enter the post url. Any idea why it won’t open from the blog posts display? Here you can see the problem: https://ellezela.com/blog/ By the way, the exact same problem occur with the portfolio items, I can’t get them open by clicking on them from here: https://ellezela.com/photos/ Thank you for your help!

Hey LaureneCastor!

It looks like a third party plugin you have active may be loading a script that’s interring with the AJAX page transitions you have active. To solve this without having to deactivate your plugin, simply go to the Salient options panel > page transitions tab and change your “Animated Transition Method” to “standard”

Cheers :)

Yeayyyy it worked!!! Thank you very much!!!

You’re welcome :)

how to increase the height of the main image? https://yadi.sk/i/_zmk9NBY3SBuhZ

Hey Nicko_217, I can one of the recent post elements has the padding set to 10% and the other has 12% – please set them to the same value to get consistent spacing on the top/bottom https://imgur.com/a/cmT0N

Yes) Thank you : )

You’re welcome :)

Hello Themenectar! I have a dumb question. On this page: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/nectar-slider/ How do I get my homepage to display the slider? It’s what I want except for the video.

ThemeNectar, where you able to look into my issue?

ThemeNectar, were you able to look into my request. Also, how do I get the homepage to display the slider and not the elements that appear in the “Page Header Settings?”

Hey, I just responded on the ticket – sorry for the delay!

Cheers

strange glitch here – whenever I update an element in visual composer on the back end, the page automatically scrolls down to the very bottom of the page. A minor hassle, but maybe one you’ve come across before?

www.affiliatedmonitors.com

Hey affiliatedmonitors,

You just need to update your version of the Salient VC to the current (5.2.4) older versions will show this issue when on WP 4.9+. If you don’t see an update for the plugin available, you likely need to update your version of the theme (current version is 8.5.3) themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/ Cheers

Hello!

Is it possible to adjust the image size when its imported on the body of a post? Now I get all on medium size, would like it to be large.

Second, once clicking on add link, I get a small pop-up window, then I need to click on the settings button to open the edit link window, can this be done by default? If not can it be set by default all links to open in a new window?

Thanks a lot!

Hey osanchez86!

1. Could you kindly share the URL where this is occuring so I can take a look?

2. That would require the use of a plugin as of now such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/open-external-links-in-a-new-window/

Cheers

Hello,

1. I dont mean on the published article but more while making the post. I want to have the image added to the post by default on large size, instead of medium.

2. On the previous version of salient once clicking on the link button, the full edit link window was opened, now its only the compact window to add the url, can this be changed as it was before? This will avoid needing to click on the settings button.

Thanks a lot!

Hello, any update on this? :)

Hello,

We need to disable the Google Analytics tracking code (configured in the Salient Control Panel) on a few pages for legal purposes.

Is it possible to do this (e.g. just omit the Google Analytics tracking code) using Custom CSS at the Page Level?

Thank you!

Hey dcress,

Unfortunately custom CSS couldn’t handle this – you’d need to edit the header.php file at the section where that’s called ($options[‘google-analytics’]) in order to conditionally exclude it based on the page

Cheers

Hi – wondering if this functionality is now possible with Custom CSS or similar on-page manipulation? Thanks, Doug

Hey dcress, it would still require creating a conditional within the header.php of the theme.

Hi ThemeNectar !!! On Image Grid Style Gallery with style set to Meta below thumb w/ links on hover. When link is clicked the larger image opens without arrows or close button on desktop Chrome and Firefox. But works great on iOS???

Hey asbundschuh!

Could you kindly share the URL where this is occurring for you so I can take a look at the setup?

Thanks

Hey asbundschuh, the new version that was just release (8.5.4) should sort this for you :)

​Hello!

I was wondering why the plugin Yoast​ SEO can’t find any words in the seo-panel on our portfolio items? It’s says there is no words on the page, but we have VC text blocks everywhere else and the plugin finds them on the other pages. Do I have to contact yoast or is this something with visual composer?

Thanks in advance!

Hey Aktivitetsbyranab,

by default Yoast doesn’t search custom metaboxes for page content insights, and the page builder instance is run on a custom field in the portfolio post type. (The main editor is reserved for the sidebar area when not using the “Full Width Portfolio Item Layout” option). As of now I don’t believe there’s any option within Yoast to tell it to search alternative metaboxes, but a plugin exists to add this functionality in (though it requires custom integration) https://metabox.io/plugins/meta-box-yoast-seo/

Cheers

Hi, I LOVE Salient – so thanks! Just one quick question: I’m trying to use Jetpack Tiled Galleries and Carousel. But for some reason, both the Jetpack Carousel and the Salient theme lightbox are popping up, creating the problem of a double lightbox. How can I fix this so that the theme lightbox isn’t used when Jetpack Carousel is used for a gallery?

NOTE: I played with the theme settings, and the Jetpack Carousel lightbox will NOT work if the box is ticked for “Auto Lightbox Image Links” OR if “Theme Lightbox” is set to “None” in Salient theme settings.

Thanks Peter, I just located it and have responded in regards :)

That worked! Thanks!

You’re welcome :)
