Hi there, I’m interested in purchasing this theme but need to know if it is easy/you are able to add an Instagram and Facebook feed? Thanks
Hey Mercer_Design,
It would require the use of a plugin at this time
Cheers
Thanks, but can a plugin be easily added, say to an area on the home page so that there is a feed?
Hey Mercer_Design, I don’t have a favorite one to recommend, but there are many out there for this purpose
Sorry that wasn’t my question – if I got a plugin, how would I then add it to an area on the site to show the feed?
Hey Mercer_Design, most plugins for this would provide you with a shortcode which you could add where you need in your desired page
Cheers
This theme isn’t compatible with Easy Digital Downloads :-/
Hey rogercoles,
Could you kindly elaborate on what’s conflicting for you more specifically so I can investigate it on my end and fix it?
Cheers
When something is added to the cart (using Easy Digital Downloads) there is no icon that appears in the top Nav.
Hey, is that cart icon supposed to be auto added into the header navigation or does it require a theme file mod? http://docs.easydigitaldownloads.com/article/275-showing-the-cart-quantity-in-your-templates
I have used CSS to alter the colour of the social share feature buttons on portfolio items. But I need to change the initial button you hover over. this is current css, code to alter colour of initial share icon button would be much appreciated.
body .nectar-social-sharing-fixed .nectar-social a.facebook-share { background-color: #3452ff!important; } body .nectar-social-sharing-fixed .nectar-social a.google-plus-share { background-color: #3452ff!important; } body .nectar-social-sharing-fixed .nectar-social a.linkedin-share { background-color: #3452ff!important; } body .nectar-social-sharing-fixed .nectar-social a.twitter-share { background-color: #3452ff!important; } body .nectar-social-sharing-fixed .nectar-social a.pinterest-share { background-color: #3452ff!important; }
Hey MarcGarner,
Could you kindly share the URL you’re trying to alter this on so I can verify your settings to provide the correct snippet?
Cheers
Hey MarcGarner, add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
body .nectar-social-sharing-fixed > a:before {
background-color: #000!important;
}
Cheers
Thanks that works great. Much appreciated.
You’re welcome 
Hey guys,
I have the sidebar enabled on individual blog posts but I want to create certain blog posts that don’t have a sidebar that I can use as a full width page instead.
Is there any code I can use on individual blog posts to do this?
I’ve tried this code but it didn’t work…
.single-post #sidebar { display: none!important; } .single-post #post-area { width: 100%!important; }
Thanks
Hey 0754ben84,
That code should be valid – could you share a URL where you’ve entered it so I can see what’s preventing it?
Cheers
Yes, it’s: https://photoskilled.com/photography-for-beginners/
Thanks
Hey, change the snippet to this
.single-post #sidebar { display: none!important; } .single-post .post-area { width: 100%!important; }
Cheers
That worked, thanks!
You’re welcome
feature request to add :
1. Line Height responsive adjustment to the Theme Options>Responsive Settings. 2. Add hiding Rows to the responsive settings.
Thanks!
Hey SiteTonight, thanks for reaching out with the requests
Hello can you please help me remove this gray spacing from the bottom of the page? http://shamanicdreamdesigns.com/ . When i adjust the setting on the backpage editor is only stretches out the slider weird and still gives me a space at the bottom.
Hey bethanycrwmr0,
Set the VC row to the “full width background” type to clear the bottom margin
Cheers
Type to clear the margin makes no sense and it did not work. Can you please help?
It actually made the slider shrink and the space still remains.
Okay wait I figured that part out. Last question is, when I am viewing the home page on my mobile device, i see a weird space to the left and right, can i stretch this to full screen?
never mind I figured that out as well. haha thanks for your help
Okay I noticed one thing, on the Mobile the top orange bar is cut at the top so it shows white at the very top instead of the orange, is there a way to fix this please? http://shamanicdreamdesigns.com/web-design/
Hey, are you adding that orange color through custom CSS? If so, there’s no need – you have color pickers for all things related to the header in the Salient options panel > header navigation > logo & general styling tab by selecting “custom” for the “Header Color Scheme” option
When using the “material” Theme Skin, menu items using row id’s i.e. /#rowid do not work on mobile. I’ve tested using the full and relative urls but it doesn’t work. Using “original” or “ascend” theme skins and it works fine.
Hey wints77, make sure you’re using any of the Off Canvas Menu Styles except the “Slide of from right” as scrolling the page in that style when open is not possible due to the nature of the design
Cheers
Got it. Thanks. Other off canvas options work as you say.
Glad it sorted it for you wints77
Hello,
(Also emailed this question)
I cloned a site using Salient Visual Composer and am unable to use the image selector on pages, even though it works fine on the original site. This is the “error” given when trying to add images to an image gallery: http://nimb.ws/WeP6pmThe plugin version is 4.3.5 and cannot be upgraded (we already tried) since it supports a legacy child-theme. What do we need to do to fix this problem?
Thank you!
Hey krco,
If you’re using a recent WP version that old VC won’t work, what mods from the child theme are you making to the page builder that are preventing you from updating?
Cheers
Thanks for responding. We downgraded wordpress to the same version as the original site, and it still doesn’t work. With the latest version of wordpress and the visual composer, the visual composer tags do not get parsed. They just appear on the page as text. I did not develop the child-theme and am trying to leave it alone as much as possible.
The issue has been resolved with a full update for wordpress, the theme, and plugin. Thanks.
Hey, glad to hear you’ve sorted it
We are using v8 and we want to update to the latest version v8.5++. Please advise how to update a currently installed Salient theme, because we’re concerned that the current pages we developed might be overwritten. Please help. TY!
Hey! Please see the following docs in regards: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/
Cheers
I have seen that link already. My concern is our customizations on the pages we developed may be overwritten as I’m afraid we did not use a child theme. So, is it safe to update and please show us how. Ty!
Hey envato999, did you modify the core theme files?
That I am not really sure of, as there may be more than a few hands that has logged in already and not sure if the ‘core theme files’ are modified.
Hey,
You’ll need to figure that out before updating as if the theme files themselves have not been touched you’re safe to upgrade as normal with no extra work. However if the files were modified directly those edits will be lost
Cheers
Off Canvas menu hamburger menu icon does not work on iPhone/mobile. Please advise how to fix this. Thanks!
Ok, so I have somehow isolated the non-working issue to happen only on iOS Safari. (Off-canvas menu however, works on iOS Chrome).
Please help send a fix for this. Thanks!
To be even MORE specific, off-canvas works on iOS Chrome landscape view only (portrait does not work).
iOS Safari does not work (both portrait and landscape).
Please help! TY!
Hey, could you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
Here, please check. TY! goo.gl/kznC75
Hey envato999, using a current version of Salient would fix this – however if you are going to stay on the older version you’re using, add this into the custom css box:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 1px) {
html body[data-slide-out-widget-area="true"] header#top .col.span_3 {
width: 80%!important;
}
}
I added your code on the custom CSS and I think it worked. Thank you! We will do further testing, however, would you know if this will work on all mobile viewports (iOS and Android, Landscape and Portrait)?
Also since you have checked goo.gl/kznC75 can you please advise a fix on how to remove the duplicate display of the menu items when mobile viewport size is triggered.
-To be specific, on desktop or large landscape views, the menu items must be displayed on the Top Row only (no hamburger menu icon)
- Then on smaller viewports (mobile), then the hamburger menu should only trigger.
Please help! TYVM!
Nevermind this last post above, I was able to fix it by turning off the switch inside salient options > off canvas navigation. Just please advise an answer which I repasted here below:
“I added your code on the custom CSS and I think it worked. Thank you! We will do further testing, however, would you know if this will work on all mobile viewports (iOS and Android, Landscape and Portrait)?”
TY!
Hey, yes that should work on all mobile devices – in landscape mode the full desktop menu should be shown as well
Howdy! Super-duper quick question. I looove the material style blog. It’s so perfect and inline with the rest of the theme. My only concern is how hard it makes a browser chug. No matter what I do it seems the .js (presumably from the image hover animation) slows the page down tot he point I cannot use it. Here’s an example: https://tinyurl.com/ycls8hr6 Do you have any advice on how I can take care of this? Do you know if it’s possible to disable the on-hover image animation? I suspect that might do the job. Thanks so so much! As a always you rock.
Hey Liyte!
You can remove that animation if desired by adding the following CSS:
body .post-area.featured_img_left article.post .post-featured-img,
body .post-area.masonry.material article.post .inner-wrap:hover .post-featured-img img,
body .post-area.masonry.material article.post .inner-wrap .post-featured-img img {
-webkit- transition: none;
transition: none;
-webkit-transform: none;
transform: none;
}
Cheers
Much better that helped a little bit in smoothing out the scrolling experience on the page.
Glad to hear Liyte
I have a question, I installed Demo 5, font is perfect on desktop, but mobile it goes off the page, what CSS can i use to make mobile font (H1) smaller on the hero section
Sorry Demo is Company-Startup
IMG for reference: https://i.imgur.com/V79cTkz.png
Hey MatthewMurdoch,
in the Salient options panel > typography > responsive settings tab you can adjust the scaling for each heading tag on various devices
Cheers
Hello! Please share how to add breadcrumbs on inner pages. Thanks!
Hey envato999,
the plugin Yoast SEO has an option for this which Salient supports
Hello!
I applied in all the details of portfolio this design and screen structure http://www.instaflash.com.br/portfolio/odebrecht-confraternizacao-2017-2/
but in some the images encavalam, how to solve this?
Hey gennialedesign,
I’m not sure I understand the issue you’re trying to explain, can you please try and list what’s going wrong for you in more detail?
Cheers
Hello! Regarding the form text fields and text areas, how can I modify it in such a way that it shows a rectangular field (like the regular white rectangle display ones) instead of having just lines?
Hey envato999!
In the Salient options panel > form styling tab, make sure you’re using “inherit from theme skin” for the overall form style option
Cheers
Ok so I tried that ‘inherit…’ on the dropdown, but it only introduced an outline for each form field and area. For SEO purposes, it was a mandate to have the form fields and areas like the plain traditional/standard white BG rectangles. How can I apply that? Please advise! ty
Hey, which theme skin are you using? If you’re not already on the “Original” one, please try selecting that in the Salient options panel > general settings tab
Cheers
Not exactly 1:1 what I was looking for, but I made some adjustments and I think it would do for now. Thanks!
Hey envato999, glad it worked out for you
We are using the duplicate post plugin to be able to duplicate blog posts – it works on all our other websites and has normally worked on our site that uses Salient (www.Workspace.digital) – lately however, when we duplicate a post, the original post we duplicate renders a 404 error until we change the URL of the new post and either save it or publish it. Any idea why this is happening?
Hey WSDigital, have you temp disabled Salient on the setup having the issue now to verify it’ specific to Salient? It seems that this can happen to any theme based on other settings: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-404-errors-with-permalinks-set-to-postname-a-fix/
thanks for your reply – not sure how that thread is a fix to my problem? My posts aren’t retaining the same name when I duplicate… for example, cloning http://www.workspace.digital/bitcoin-blockchain-technology-for-business/ creates a draft with a URL that reads http://www.workspace.digital/bitcoin-blockchain-technology-for-business-2/ ... but this causes all havok on the site. It either caused the 404 error i mentioned before or it doubles all content on the original post (i have a screen grab of this if you’d like). If i change the name of the new clone draft to something different, the problem is fixed… but this is a step that i’ve never had to do with any other site or theme.
Hey, I wasn’t posting that as a fix – I was just pointing out that it’s been reported before with that plugin for various reasons. Have you verified that deactivating Salient on your current setups fixes the issue?
Is there a setting for having a transparent header on mobile without turning on the transparent every where setting? Will and custom code or settings achieve this?
Hey MarcGarner, unfortunately not at this time however I’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist
Hey guys,
How do I changed my blog header font size on mobile?
I’ve tried increasing the h1 size % on in the typography panel but it doesn’t seem to change the blog header.
Please see here: https://photoskilled.com/how-to-hold-camera/
Can you help?
Many thanks
Ben
Hey Ben,
Try to add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
body #page-header-bg .span_6 h1, body.single.single-post .section-title h1 {
font-size: 34px!important;
line-height: 40px!important;
}
}
Cheers
awesome thanks. And what about tablet?
Thanks
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 1000px) {
body #page-header-bg .span_6 h1, body.single.single-post .section-title h1 {
font-size: 34px!important;
line-height: 40px!important;
}
}
Cheers
Is the animated icons on your Business Demo a part of the Theme or something you made custom? If it is, how do i access this feature?
Hey global-network,
It’s using the Icon page builder element. The Salient studio has a few templates like that section which you can import to inspect the setup http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/
Cheers
But i’m talking about the animation of teh SVG icons that draws themselfes if you understand.
Hey global-network, What I mentioned above still applies. There’s multiple templates in the icons tab of the Salient Studio which use these animated icon settings. They’re called “Icons With SVG Draw Animation 4 Columns”, “SVG Draw Animation Icons”, “Weather Animated Icon Columns”
How many icons have this feature?
Where do i find the list of SVG icons i can use on my site with the shortcode, that’s used in the templates.
The Linea and Iconsmind libraries both allow for SVG animation. You can find all of the icons listed directly in the Icon page builder element: https://imgur.com/a/99RwG
I can’t seem to find iconsmind animation option.
Hey global-network, could you please open a ticket in regards so we can assist further? https://themenectar.ticksy.com
I’m using below shortcode to insert youtube videos but they still do have related videos in them despite added &rel=0. How can I remove related youtube videos?
[vc_video link=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxx&rel=0”]
Hey zielakxar, I just verified that the same occurs in the raw VC – i’ll try reaching out to them in regards
Cheers
