Hello,

1: we are using the recent projects slider on our homepage (as per Projects Slider Demo), pulling in portfolio items. Is there a way to not only pull the title of each portfolio item, but also the subtitle of each portfolio item to display underneath the title on the homepage?

2: We can’t get the portfolio items to show on the case studies page. Any pointers?

https://clickedon.co/

Hey clickedon,

1. As of now there’s no theme option for that, however it could be modded into the nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php file at the “nectar_recent_project” function.

2. I’m currently seeing 4 projects displaying on that page, did you already sort this?

Cheers

I currently have a sticky main menu. How can I keep the secondary navigation menu sticky as well on both desktop and mobile? I have a large bolded phone number in the secondary nav menu that I want to be prominent at all times.

I cannot figure this out! :( I appreciate any custom CSS you can provide.

Hey michellecmurphy17,

1. You’ll need to change your theme skin from “Material” to “ascend” in the Salient options panel > General settings tab

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


body #slide-out-widget-area.fullscreen .off-canvas-social-links:after, #slide-out-widget-area.fullscreen-alt .off-canvas-social-links:after {
  display: none;
}
#slide-out-widget-area.fullscreen .off-canvas-social-links, 
admin-bar #slide-out-widget-area.fullscreen .off-canvas-social-links, #slide-out-widget-area.fullscreen-alt .off-canvas-social-links, 
.admin-bar #slide-out-widget-area.fullscreen-alt .off-canvas-social-links {
    margin-top: 25px;
}

Cheers

Thanks! #2 worked great. As for the first one, I changed it to ascend and the top bar was too small for the text since I made a large phone number at the top. In addition, on mobile, there was a gap between the nav and the first page block and the secondary nav didn’t scroll with the user. I just basically need a way (on mobile) for the phone number to stay at the top.

Hey michellecmurphy17, in order to have the phone number stuck to the top of the screen on mobile devices would require some custom modding as unfortunately there’s no built in theme option as of now. You could probably find a free plugin to add a top bar and stop using the Salient secondary header. A line of css would then only be needed to position the third party bar correctly which I could provide

Is it possible to replace the built-in search with a Google CSE (https://www.google.com/cse/)?

Hey loneprairiecamp,

that would require some modding to the searchform.php file or the use of a plugin as of now

Cheers

hello

How can I insert a social buttons that link directly to a profile, the only social buttons I’m able to use are sharing rather than linking to a profile?

thanks

Hey stsw,

Where are you trying to add them? There’s regular social links available to insert in the header navigation/footer and in the page content you can simply use the page builder icon element

Cheers

Thanks for your reply

I’m trying to add them in the centre of a webpage. I’ve got the social links working in the header nav which links to the profile pages of social media, this is what I want but how do I insert the same header nav social links into a row halfway down a page?

Whenever I add social buttons in a row, it adds sharing links in the page rather than linking to social profile pages.

Thanks

You’re welcome stsw,

there’s an element inside of the page builder just called “icon” http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/icons/ you can use that to select any social network via the font awesome library, and then simply set a link on that icon.

Cheers

Hi, I just imported the dummy data for Startup and the blog content didn’t get imported. Is there a way to import just the blog content? Thanks

Hey ehong33234,

The dummy data xml file used during the import can be imported manually using the WordPress importer and you can select what content comes in. See the location here.

Cheers

I’m very familiar with this manual process and I tried the manual Wordpress Importer but it gave me this message upon import:

Import WordPress Media “b” already exists. Media “stars” already exists. Media “c” already exists. Media “tr” already exists. Media “bigg” already exists. Media “fx” already exists. Media “concer” already exists. Media “fit” already exists. Media “d” already exists. Media “v” already exists. Media “7” already exists. Media “mount” already exists. Media “b_xciwkk8pc-veeterzy” already exists. Media “v” already exists. Page “Sample Page” already exists. The link you followed has expired.

Please try again.

Hey ehong33234, if that didn’t work for you then we would need to log in and see what’s going on closer – can you either open a ticket or reach out in regards with your admin credentials via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks

hello, i need a little help, i am using revolution slider, but the menu need to be dark or white when the background dont make it visible. how i can do this on revolution slider instead nectar slider? safeweb.cl

Hey mzuker,

In the current release of Salient, there’s an option in the page header settings metabox for “Transparent Header Navigation Color”

Cheers

Hi Salient, I wanted to bring to your attention that the portfolio filters do not work on iphone. Please check this issue asap!

Hey suzanka,

Can you kindly elaborate on what isn’t working can could you kindly share your URL so I can see what portfolio settings you have active?

Thanks :)

Sent you a private message :)

Thanks suzanka, I responded earlier in the day :)

Cheers

There appears to be an issue with https://storeurl.com/cart/?add-to-cart=1234 because your cart.php is out of date and out of sync with the latest WooCommerce. Cart totals also do not display properly as a result.

Hey sam1994, there is no longer a cart.php file in the latest version of Salient – if you’re on 8.5.5 you still have one than the method you used to update the theme didn’t remove it correctly

A fresh extraction of salient.zip shows /salient/woocommerce/cart/cart.php. I’m using the latest available version.

Hey sam1994, that file was removed with the release of 8.5.4 and I just downloaded Salient from ThemeForest to verify it’s still not there in 8.5.5 https://imgur.com/a/8Z62w I’m not sure why or how your download could have it, but it needs to be deleted in order to work correctly with the new WooCommerce update. When you check the style.css file in the version you downloaded does it also say 8.5.5?

I am in need of a quote for customization. I am looking for hover functionality (like we see here on themeforest or videohive). When you roll over a video thumbnail in the portfolio, I need a popup that autoplays the video WITHOUT having to click to trigger a lightbox. Please contact me. Thank you.

Hey arteest,

We personally don’t do freelance work, however i’m sure that someone on Envato Studio can help you out :)

Cheers

Hey Nectar a couple questions real quick – I just re did this site for a client https://alcondts.com/ using the Salient theme and they loved the design but I had to re do literally all the pages since the old freemium theme wouldn’t let me design over the existing pages. So it did create re direction.

I’ve used re directs and google search console but they still dropped to page 4 on google SERP for “IT managed Services Austin” a week after the change. What do you suggest I do ? The ranking difficulty is 28 so its not too much competition but this does look bad.

P.S. one more real quick and important thing is how do I change the contact form 7 to look like the one on their old page

https://web.archive.org/web/20171024041354/https://alcondts.com/

Please view at the bottom of the old home page.

After switching to Salient it screwed up the CSS. I know this is asking a lot man but I am very embarrassed and I don’t want to lose the client . I just really wanted him to have Salient but it seems to have bitten me in the ass. Not blaming anyone but myself.

Nectar I appreciate you looking into it. For some reason every time I add the contact form and try to use this code it doesn’t affect it or it forces it scroll to the bottom of the screen collapsing the entire home page.

I see it says wpcf7 but what should the name of the contact form be if I want to make sure it calls the right one?

Thank you again for looking into all this and sending me the optimization guide. Greatly appreciated.

You’re welcome lnbbroductions,

I’m currently not seeing any weird scrolling behavior on the home page but can see the contact page submit “send” button styling as expected relating to the css I have you. Is there any specific thing I have to do to see the home scrolling issue?

Cheers

Its only when I try to add the contact form 7 into it. I can’t add it live because it looks horrendous on the home page and completely collapses it. I submitted a ticket inside of Ticksy with my login. Please give it a look when you get the chance. Its something I’ve never seen before.

The biggest thing I am trying to accomplish is making the contact form look similar to the old in terms of it stacking in 3 columns horizontally instead of vertical because it creates a huge for vertical space.

HI, when the header background image appears, there is a grey color that appears before the image (not in the nectar slider). Can you please tell me how to change this grey color on the back, the site is solylunaspain.com thank you very much

Hey Consi,

I’m seeing that you have a coming soon page active, but if you’re referring to the page transition effect – you can alter that in the Salient options panel > page transitions tab

Cheers

Hey,

1. I have a problem with [prev/next Projekt]-buttons. If you click on this button, you’ll see a different project than previewed: https://bit.ly/2qm3ctb

2. For example, if you’re using an iPhone, you’ll see how the side buttons on the Nectar Slider overlay the project title. https://bit.ly/2uXyr2Y

3. How can I translate “found results”? I can’t do that well in the po-file: https://bit.ly/2JxztWU

4.1 If I share a blog post, for example via Twitter, I still see 0: https://bit.ly/2v1fv3v

4.2. How can I reset the counter with heart symbol?

4.3. How can I just hide the comments button?

Thanks!

2: How can I disable the arrows on mobile devices or put arrows down?

Hey vik_,

1. Could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so we can take a further look into this? https://themenectar.ticksy.com

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


@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
.swiper-slide .container {
    width: 250px!important;
}
}

3. I’ve noted to add this into the po file for the upcoming update – the string is currently located in the search.php file

4-1. Twitter stopped allowing the share count data to the public a couple years ago, the share count now it populated only from the sites that allow access to that data. There’s also other sharing styles available that don’t show the count at all because of this

4-2. You would need to modify that in the database, as it’s attached to each individual post. Or you could make a new post and copy the date from the old post in

4-3 add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:


body .meta-comment-count { display: none; }

5.


@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
.swiper-container .slider-prev, .swiper-container .slider-next { display: none!important; }
}

Cheers

Hi, I was told that the bug I reported regarding the color of the logo will be fixed in the new version of salient (and since than there was a new version) but the bug is still present!

please take a look at https://dominante.co and https://dominante.co/impressence/

the logo on https://dominante.co/impressence/ page should be black

Hey mrlucas87,

Since there’s currently no known issue with the option page header setting “Transparent Header Navigation Color” in 8.5.5, please reach out in regards with your admin credentials via the contact form on my author page so I can take a closer look https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Cheers

hi, to clarify please take a look at the conversation about this issue between you and me that took place two months ago – https://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/4363266/comments?page=1229&filter=all#comment_18671647

thanks :)

Hey mrlucas87, the option I was referring to back then did indeed get added in 8.5.4: https://imgur.com/a/Rrcw1 and in the last comment I was mentioning that the option has no known issues when you set it to dark. Do you currently have that option set to dark on your page?

The theme styles effect the look of woocommerce product variation select boxes but not woocommerce add-ons select boxes. Is there a way to enable the select boxes in add-ons to look the same as the variation ones?

Fixed

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

jf Purchased

2 quick questions please:

1- I don’t have many elements on the side menu but I have many in a sub menu – Is there a way to have the side menu appear higher please look at this screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/SJzzFoIpnU

2- For the “Page Header Overlay Color” can you please tell me how to make it 100% transparent? I was not able to find how to do it.

Thank you :)

jf Purchased

I have resolved the 3rd one. I basically just need 1 and 2 and I am good to go. Thank you :)

jf Purchased

I have resolved number 2… All I need is the number 1 and I am good to go (sorry to the tons of messages).

Hey jf :)

Only the off canvas menu styles “slide out from right” and “slide out from right hover” can vertically center the submenu items – but they require the material skin to work like that. Unfortunately the fullscreen off canvas menu can’t vertically center the items within a submenu without some custom modding as of now

Cheers

Hi,

On chrome, the in the row go up, normaly it’s aline at the middle

Have you an idea?

Thanks you

I find a solution, it’s the margin bottom in column settings who did that

Hey vilbermark,

Glad you found what you were looking for

Cheers

Hello!

I’ve disabled the header and ‘hearts’ on my blog post here:

http://itsbreakfastfordinner.com/aqd/

Using this code, within in the individual post CSS itself: .n-shortcode { display: none!important; } #page-header-bg { display: none!important; }

But now it has left a wide space in-between the navigation bar and the beginning of my post. I’d like to remove the space, while making the beginning of my post flush with the navigation bar.

Thank you!

Actually, I was able to fix it! But now the same problem exists on my “blog” page, seen here:

http://itsbreakfastfordinner.com/category/blog/

I know if I’m able to input the css to be ‘padding-top: 0px’ this will stop it, but I’m not sure the exact css code to enter, or where!

Thank you!

Ok, forget the above. To make this even easier (hopefully):

How do I make my static ‘blog’ page (posts page), just display a specific category, instead of all my posts?

Hey barnmonster, for that you’re not going to use the posts page but instead create a link in your appearance > menus that leads directly to the category of your choosing

Hi, If I enable the password protection on a page, the resulting page looks absolutely terrible. Do you know how that can get fixed? Thanks!

Hey apinzon,

As of now customizing that page would indeed require custom modding or the use of a plugin, however i’ve noted the idea for the wishlist :)

Cheers

Thanks! Do you think there’s a workaround I could implement at this point? I’m afraid we’re receiving some users on our site.

Your suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey apinzon,

Visual Composer doesn’t offer any functionality by default to create that page template – however there are some guides out there to modify it:

https://code.tutsplus.com/articles/customizing-and-styling-the-password-protected-form--wp-22375

Cheers

Hi, How can I make the Contact Form 7 submit button match the styling of the rest of the buttons? Thanks!

Hey apinzon,

See the Salient options panel > form styling tab and use the submit button style field

Cheers

Hi, That option does exist, but it’s very limited. Ideally, I’d like to show a square, jumbo button with see-through-extra-color-gradient-1 so that it looks consistent with the rest of the page. This one looks round and in 1 color. Thoughts?

Hey apinzon, it’s not possible to emulate the exact gradient style button you’re after on a submit (the nectar gradient button in that style add additional markup to achieve the animated effect). However, here’s something close:

body[data-form-submit="see-through"][data-button-style="rounded"].ascend .container-wrap .span_12.light input[type="submit"] {
  color: #fff!important;
   font-size: 18px!important;
  padding: 20px 40px!important;
  border-width: 4px!important;
  opacity: 1!important; 
  background-color: transparent!important;
  overflow: hidden;
}

body[data-form-submit="see-through"][data-button-style="rounded"].ascend .container-wrap .span_12.light input[type="submit"]:hover {
  background: linear-gradient(to right,#39dfa5,#1fbdf2)!important;
  border-color: transparent!important;
  background-position: -8px!important;
  background-size: 110%!important;
}

Thanks

I’m having some issues with the alignment of my contact form/mailchimp widgets in the footer. Is there a way to move the contact form up in order to align with the other footer elements? I’ve tried this with contact form 7 as well as mailchimp for wordpress and both are styled the same, I’m guessing the theme is forcing the spacing.

Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/F0F2F

Thanks, Tom

Hey Tom,

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


body[data-form-style="minimal"] #footer-widgets .minimal-form-input  {
   margin-top: -50px;
}

Cheers

Perfect, thank you!

You’re welcome Tom_Munz :)
