Hi there,
Is there a way to forcefully enable autoplaying background videos on mobile? I know you mentioned it wasn’t possible till iOS 10, but we’re on iOS 11 already and no option for enabling this is present in your theme still.

Hey BlueScreenPanda, I just sent over a copy today

Cheers

Received. On it. Thank you.

You’re welcome BlueScreenPanda :)

Hi, I’d like to set one of the buttons in the Nectar slider to open up the searchbox but it doesnt seem to be working – could you please tell me how to make it work.

Hey tricks28,

That would require custom modding to the init.js file. Run a search for the text ”///search box event” to end up at the right place

Cheers

Unfortunately I dont know JS only CSS. Is this an easy mod – could you do it and if so how much would you charge?

Hey tricks28, unfortunately we are not available for freelance development at this time – however someone at Envato studio would be able to assist

Hello!

Please note that in this demo: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-slider-portfolio/portfolio/the-snow-fox/

There is no button to go back to the portfolio index. Only prev and next project and that’s annoying for a $60 premium theme (popular item) to use the back button of the browser.

Also, still waiting for your reply to my last private message send regarding the new update and also the new design demos / options.

Thank you!

2. Also, is there a way to use another menu for mobile? Other then what the theme offers? Without editing the code? Thank you!

Hey avrcata, there’s other pagination styles which offer a back to all button: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/portfolio/table-rocket/ the one on the demo you’ve linked intentionally does not. That’s what the home link is for in the main nav :)

Hello!

Thank you! It wasn’t intentionally. I don’t want to prove anything. I never tested that demo. I find the style / design / ui to be quite old (and it really is). I’m only interested in the new demos: Blog Dark, Blog Ultimate and Startup but I’ll be testing some more and I’ll be waiting for the new update. Already added Salient in my cart and I’ll wait for the update to be live.

Thank you for your time to reply!

Hello Salient,

One question about Google web fonts integration. Some fonts available on Google font can’t be found in Salient Theme Options fonts, like this one for example : https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Black+Han+Sans?selection.family=Black+Han+Sans

Is it an update or release date issue or some are just not compatible?

Thank you for your answer on this and keep up the awesome job on Salient! :)

Hey Arkanite,

We update the listing every few months – if that’s a new font it’ll get added into the next release :)

Cheers

Perfect! Thank you :))

You’re welcome Arkanite :)

Quick question, how do I change the color of the testimonial slider arrows? Thanks!

Hey amitzala,

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


.testimonial_slider[data-style="minimal"] .testimonial-next-prev .prev:before, .testimonial_slider[data-style="minimal"] .testimonial-next-prev .next:before {
  color: #ff0000!important;
}
.testimonial_slider[data-style="minimal"] .testimonial-next-prev .next:after, .testimonial_slider[data-style="minimal"] .testimonial-next-prev .prev:after {
   background-color: #ff0000!important;
}

Cheers

Thanks!

You’re welcome amitzala :)

I notice these load everytime:

wp-content/themes/salient/css/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=4.2 GET icomoon.woff GET OpenSans-Regular-webfont.woff

Is it possible to dequeue this and if so how? (adding a extra second to load times)

Hey MatthewMurdoch,

Those are needed for core theme icons (search/social icons) – you’d only be able to remove them by editing the style.css file, and you’d need to ensure that you’re not making use of any icons in the header/footer/single post and project sharing

Hi…. I had bought several licenses of the salient theme, every works fine but I have a lot o clients asking for better scores at Google Page Insights. Can you please help me with an effective and real form for disabling Google fonts and defering jquery?

I tried all the steps in this link https://www.keycdn.com/blog/google-pagespeed-insights-wordpress/ but google speed insights still shows both files are causing issues: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?hl=es&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.coparmexcdmx.org.mx&tab=desktop

I really really will appreciate your help. Thanks in advance. Regards.

Hey guitresan,

1. No Google fonts will load if you unset any font families you have active in the Salient options panel > typography tab

2. jQuery is apart of the WordPress core, not Salient – you’d need to manually handle this in a child theme functions.php https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/173601/enqueue-core-jquery-in-the-footer However, you’ll need to be carefule to ensure that it still loads at the top of the footer.php before any theme scripts or else it will break things

Cheers

Hi! I was wondering if there was a way to add a button to the MegaMenu now? I see the option within the menu item itself, but the button isn’t showing up. Also – I can’t get the menu header (what would be “Media” within the demo landing page – elements navigation menu option. I can set it to bold, but it bolds the entire column (the links that are subset from the menu… I have the site on a local host so I can’t provide a link. Maybe you can still lend a bit of insight? Much appreciated in advance.

Hey noantsinmypants,

There’s no option to use a button style in a megamenu column yet, however the bold menu heading font can be set in the Salient options panel > typography > nectar specific elements tab at the “Sidebar, Carousel & Nectar Button Header Font” field

Cheers

I could REALLY use a bit of your help. Is there any way possible to play video as a thumbnail instead of setting an image? I have been desperately searching for a plugin to accomplish this but I can’t find anything that can do it.

Hey arteest, there’s no way to set a video file as a featured image in a portfolio as of now – it would require custom development. If you’re using a blog element,

the video format will show in standard (non masonry) blog styles.

Hi, I have an issue on my page with the element ‘Woocommerce Products’. When I select number of columns: 4. It sometimes shows 2 0r 3 elements per row instead of 4. Is there any fix for that? http://blushbird.com/store

Hey stevenbauwens, ensure that you’re on the latest version of Salient (8.5.5) when using the current WooCommerce. If you’re not, kindly upgrade to fix the issue http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/

Hi all! Great theme…I’m trying to use the transparent logo on a fullscreen page header, but the logo is getting stretched WAY too big. The natural image size is 100px tall, and theres even a retina version of the logo that’s 200px tall. However, the page is showing the non-retina image and is stretching it really badly.

Any ideas on where I should start?

Hey ryan_seale,

1. Please check your server error logs to see what caused the white screen or use one of the other methods of updating besides direct FTP

2. Can you share the page URL where this occurs so I can take a look?

One other thing: on the iPhone, the horizontal portfolio filters aren’t working? They require the user to click the filter link twice before it filters.

Hey ryan_seale, this is a known issue with the animated underline style option and has been fixed in the current beta – if you’d like access to it please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Hey guys,

Please take a look at this page is landscape view on ipad: https://thestonemonkey.co.uk/

How do I increase the size of the text on the portfolio in landscape view as it’s currently really small?

Thanks

Hey 0754ben84, add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:


@media only screen and (max-width: 1300px) and (min-width: 990px) {
html body .portfolio-items.constrain-max-cols.masonry-items .col.elastic-portfolio-item h3, html body .portfolio-items.constrain-max-cols.masonry-items .col.elastic-portfolio-item h4 {
    font-size: 26px;

}
}

I am using the Yoast plugin, and submit the sitemap through Google Consol and request indexing.

My issue is, no matter what website I submit using the salient theme the Title & meta descriptions never appear as they should in the search results. This is not good for my clients.

When using the older Sailient version or in fact other themes and follow the same process I have no issues.

Can you please help? Is there something Im missing?

Hey robertfar,

Nothing has changed in recent versions regarding the Yoast compatibility – what version were you not experiencing the issue on before updating? Also, 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

Cheers

Hi, thank you. ticket ID is #1543746. Not sure what version…I suppose the version before you released the new templates. I have 3 websites using the current theme and all 3 of them have indexing issues….ie Titles and meta desc do not appear correctly. Happy to provide logins if required. Can you pls help as these are for client websites. Cheers Rob

I am having trouble with using multiple parallax sections. I have 3 rows at different points of the page with a parallax background. Though it is as if they are sharing one image. The second one is missing half the image and on the last one there is barely any image there.

See page: http://176.32.230.17/aimeewillowdesigns.co.uk/process/

Any help much appreciated.

Hey MarcGarner, edit each of the rows using the parallax BG and ensure that you don’t have the same ID entered in. It looks like they all have “intro” added, perhaps that occurred by duplicating the initial row and forgetting to change it?

Cheers

Hi,

On this page: https://regtech-connect.com/home/ I’ve a design for a line (it’s on the page now) that I would like to appear on top the footer (on every page). Is there a simple way to do that in this theme?

Thanks in advance.

Hey Abbenhues,

It would be easier to make the medication to the footer.php file itself (which can be kept in a child theme). Otherwise you’d need to add that to every page and use CSS to position it

Cheers

HI, I have a question about Nectar Slider, how can it be configured to start automatically and configure the amount of seconds it takes to pass the slides? Thanks

Hey pablo_carrera,

There’s a field when editing the nectar slider element within the page builder called “Autorotate” – just enter your desired rotation speed in milliseconds for e.g. 5000 would cause the slider to change slides every 5 seconds

Cheers

How to change the default three column layout in the WooCommerce product list to something like 6 (with a sidebar)? None of the “official” WooCommerce recommendations work. Thanks in advance!

Hey ThemeFrontier,

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


html .woocommerce .span_9 ul.products li.product, 
html .woocommerce-page .span_9 ul.products li.product {
    width: 15.42%;
}

.woocommerce-page ul.products li.product.last, 
.woocommerce ul.products li.product.last, 
.woocommerce-page ul.products li.product.material.last, 
.woocommerce ul.products li.product.material.last {
  margin-right: 1.3%;
}

.woocommerce ul.products li:nth-child(6n+6) {
  margin-right: 0!important;
}

Cheers

Are you planning to add any new template modules (layouts for the builder) anytime soon? Thanks!

Hey rproeis,

Yes we are! :)

Cheers

I want to Buy this theme, but i have around 2 friends who have bought salient from later versions to date. But the issue they have about salient is it cannot send messages via contact forms

Hey AaronKaddu, Salient doesn’t have a built in form element – that’s handled through third party plugins

how comes all plugins for forms failed to work.

Hey AaronKaddu,

That would have to do with server settings – have your friends opened a ticket in regards?

Is there some CSS which would allow me to use any colour for the pricing columns instead of just the accent colours? Any help much appreciated. Great theme.

Hey MarcGarner,

Can you kindly share your URL so I can what pricing style you’re using to provide the needed snippet?

Thanks

Hey MarcGarner,

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


body .pricing-table[data-style="flat-alternative"] .pricing-column.highlight.extra-color-2 h3 .highlight-reason {
   bnackground-color: #000!important;
}

body .pricing-table[data-style="flat-alternative"] .pricing-column.highlight.extra-color-2 h3,
body .pricing-table[data-style="flat-alternative"] .pricing-column.extra-color-2 h4,
body .pricing-table[data-style="flat-alternative"] .pricing-column.extra-color-2 .interval,
.pricing-table[data-style="flat-alternative"] .icon-tiny[class^="icon-"].extra-color-2,
body.material:not([data-button-style^="rounded"]) .pricing-table[data-style="flat-alternative"] .nectar-button.has-icon.large,
body.material:not([data-button-style^="rounded"]) .pricing-table[data-style="flat-alternative"] .nectar-button.has-icon.large i {

   color:#000!important;

}

body.material:not([data-button-style^="rounded"]) .pricing-table[data-style="flat-alternative"] .nectar-button.has-icon.large {
   border-color: #000!important;

}

Cheers
