Is it possible to change authors profile pics without the gravatar? Or do I have to use gravatar?

Hey jonimagic1, Salient is using the default WP function to grab the author images – to alter the image without gravatar you’d need to use a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-avatar/

Cheers

I’m having trouble making a pricing table like the one in the demo, and in this picture: http://www.unseen-music.com/main/wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/nectar-vc-addons/img/templates/4-col-pricing.jpg.

How do I make the columns rounded? How do I move the purchase now to the middle?

Hey TokyoSavage,

If you’re not seeing the template available https://imgur.com/a/L3n8e you probably just need to update your version of Salient – what version are you currently using?

Cheers

Ahhh that explains it. I’m using 8.1.0. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Gotta update it now.

No worries TokyoSavage :)

Hey TokyoSavage,

Check out the pricing tab within the Salient studio, that template can be imported anywhere in any page: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/

Hi

The cache of this theme is really strong. Can’t see the current version on the mobile devices. I can see the current version on the desktop when I use developers options to view the mobile version.

Hey rivercia,

Salient itself does not have a caching system – if you’re not using a plugin to specifically cache files, check with your hosting company to verify they’re not hard caching anything automatically. Also, in your mobile device have you tried to clear the browser cache?

Cheers

Yes tried clearing it. But it gets replicated after hours

Hey rivercia, have you tried reaching out to your hosting company in regards yet?

If I’m using posts and set my format to link, I lose the titles on the masonry layout. Thoughts?

Hey tencatefabrics,

The link format turns the post into a singular link block as shown in the demos: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/blog-masonry-fullwidth/ The post content box gets used to populate the link block text and the link itself is created via the “Link URL” metabox – adding addition info into the link format would require modding to the includes/post-templates/entry-link.php file

Cheers

Yeah, but in the demo, there is still a title? Mine just shows my picture with a red box over it with a lighter opacity.

Hey tencatefabrics, the link post format pulls from the main content box rather than the title – if you have text in the content box that isn’t show, please share your URL in regards so I can take a look

Hi, The Visual Composer is no longer working for me and hangs on “loading, please wait”, how can I fix this? Thanks

Apologies, me again. If I enable my Main Menu on any location (e.g. Top Navigation) my site won’t load at all. Sits on loading symbol. The moment I disable menu, it loads instantly. What could be happening?

I’m on the latest version of Salient.

Hey thomasboarder, since there’s currently no known issue tied to using a menu, please reach out in regards in the support forum or private email with your site URL/admin credentials so I can take a look

Thanks very much, have just emailed you.

I am wondering if it’s possible to have the Slide Out From Right off canvas menu slide out and not push the page to the left, but to simply overlap the page. Basically have it function much like the Slide Out From Right Hover Triggered style but on click instead of hover.

Would this be possible fairly easily? Any input is much appreciated – thank you.

Hey roketto,

this would require a js mod to the init.js file located in the js folder as of now

Cheers

Hi there, thanks for getting back to me. Is there no way to do so in the child theme at this time? Thanks!

Hey roketto, you could add the init.js to the child theme you’d just need to dequeue the parent version and enqueue the new child version via the child theme functions.php

Hey! Can you tell me if you see this issue:

http://www.tonicpit.com/socialtown/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/whats.png

On this page:

http://www.tonicpit.com/socialtown/shop/

It doesn’t do this when category set to all..weird huh!

Hey ladydekade, the fix will be added into the next release – for now add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:

@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
.woocommerce.columns-4 ul.products.columns-4 li.product.material.last {
  margin-right: 1.3%!important;
}
.woocommerce.columns-4 ul.products.columns-4 li.product.material:nth-child(4n+4) {
  margin-right: 0!important;
}
}

Cheers

You’re the best :) x

Cheers ladydekade :)

I added a ticket #1514158 which is a bit of a blocker issue for us on Safari. Was told to send details here. Thanks!

Hey locassa, i’ll take a look as soon as I can :)

What is the optimal size of the featured image? Is there an article with the optimal sizes for all the images on the site?

Hey jonimagic1,

Are you referring to featured images on blog posts or portfolio projects? It would depend on the element settings you’re using to display those related posts – there’s a minimum size required for the various possible image sizes here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/theme-options/portfolio/

Is there a way to style wordpress pages so they don’t look horrible? Such as the activation page after someone registers for the site. Thanks!

Hey ehong33234,

this would require the use of a plugin as of now https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-registration-form-builder-with-submission-manager/

Cheers

Hello! Great theme, really amazing. Just a little security bug – Chrome ads a little shield next to the URL after I’ve imported the “Unlesh the hero inside you”- the bike Demo. The shield says : This page is trying to load scripts from unauthorised sources. Could you please let me know how to fix this? Thank you in advance!

Thanks ttugalev, I can’t see to replicate this Chrome via the demo http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-product can you please share your URL so I can take a further look?

Cheers!

Thank you for the quick response! I’ve figured it out – It turned out to be the Salient logo that was causing this.

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

Hi there,

When loading the demo (for instance Business), the shop does not load the same way your demo does. There is no widgetised sidebar on the shop page. I see that the demo does not have imported the attributes for the t-shirts. That’s oke, I made them myself. But I want to have the widgetised sidebar with price filter and attributefilter like in your demo. How do I get that. Can’t set the page to a template. BTW I understand that you do not load dummy images but every other themebuilder does provide them even though its stock, makes it a lot more convenient to figure things out :)

Regards M

Hey smartcel!

The images used in the business demo are coming from the default WooCommerce dummy data import file

https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/importing-woocommerce-sample-data/ – you can follow that to get the images in if desired :)

Also, in order to activate the sidebar layout you can do so in the Salient options panel > woocommerce tab.

Cheers

Hello!

The picture of one of the authors won’t display on the post meta. Here’s the page: https://ellezela.com/aventures-imparfaites/

I don’t understand why.

Thank you

PS: great theme!!!! L.

Hello,

On the imgur link you give me, I can also see all the authors images. But still not on my website. The one I dont see is Antonin’s.

Hey LaureneCastor,

I just tried again in Firefox/Chrome and can see it displaying on both – have you tried more than one machine? Also, what browser are you currently using?

Cheers

I use Chrome. On my phone it displays correctly. And on Firefox using my computer, it also display as it should. So I guess it’s only when I use Chrome with my computer…

I think there may be a bug in the portfolio (Enable Sortable) feature. When my page loads, the dropdown is already open and the options are shifted to the right. Please visit:

https://bit.ly/2H27z7F

Hey arteest, please see my response to your previous comment in regards

Why does my portfolio dropdown start with the menu open? How do I set it to start off closed?

https://bit.ly/2H27z7F

Hey arteest,

I’m still seeing that the filters are set to display inline in the element options – can you verify that this option is not on? https://imgur.com/a/uaUrq

Thanks

Sorry about that. Try now. I had to swap it to horizontal earlier for the sake of appearance because I didn’t know when you could get to it.

Hey, no worries. It seems to be occuring becuase of the column setting for centering the text – add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel to sort it for now:


 .wpb_column.centered-text .portfolio-filters > ul { display: none; }

Cheers

Congratulations for the template! I’m working with him on several projects, and I love his customization. I just found out by reading a comment that you can add a background image to the particle image, that’s a very favorable point! On the other hand, do you have a size to suggest a background image so that you can see the whole, that is, untrimmed, in the most common monitor sizes? I’m not talking about placing a background image in a specific element of Nectar, but simply adding a background image in a row with “full width background”. Regards!

Thanks Dlevento!

When adding a row BG image, you can make it responsive by adding top/bottom padding to the row using % values e.g. start by experimenting with 10% for both and alter based on your image dimensions

Cheers

Feature request: When working in Page Builder and choosing COLOR for type, background, etc., could you please put some sort of reference or option to select the accent colors we chose in the Salient options? For me, it just defaults to the basic colors or what seems to be random colors and I have to keep Salient Accent Color tab open in another window just for reference. Thanks a bunch, keep up the great work!

Hey ehong33234,

Are you using the most recent version of the theme(8.5.5)/page builder(5.4.7)? The bottom colors shown in the color picker fields should be reflective of your theme options panel > accent colors settings

Cheers

Hello, I have theme version 7.6 and a child theme installed. Now i downloaded the wp zip and try to install it via the admin panel. It shows 404 error page upon clicking installation. Any idea why?

Hey spicyspirit,

What method are you trying to use to install via the admin panel? Have you checked out the docs in regards: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/

Cheers

Hi support, I used this method :

Downloading/Reuplodading With Using Easy Theme Upgrades Plugin

Step 1. Download the Salient theme archive from ThemeForest Step 2. Head over to Appearance > Themes in your WordPress dashboard Step 3. Click the Add New button on this page followed by the Upload button when prompted Step 4. Locate the salient.zip file you extracted from the ThemeForest download archive and click the Install Now button Step 5. Choose Yes In the Upgrade existing theme? option from the dropdown list Step 6. Click Install Now followed by Activate

The steps are broken between 4 and 5. I got an 404 page.

Thank you!

Hey spicyspirit,

That issue can happen with certain server setups and the easy theme updates plugin. One quick thing to try before updating via a different route would be to temporarily change your permalink setting to “Plain”, in Settings > Permalinks. If that doesn’t work can you try to do the update via the Envato market plugin?

Cheers

Hello. I have a problem in checkout page. When click in “create new account” doesn’t appear the box of password. But if I change to another theme, ir works. I didnt touch anything in the code. Here is the issue: https://imgur.com/1AX4HxZ Any ideas? Thanks.

Hey MarPescashop,

This is a known issue related to the current WooCommerce version and the Salient options panel > form styling > “Enable Fancy Select/Checkbox/Radio Styling” option.

You could either turn that option off or reach out via email to get access to the current beta where this is fixed

Cheers

Thanks. Changing that option, it works perfectly now!

Glad to hear MarPescashop!
