Hi there it looks like a recent update has put some padding above any full-width page content now so I’d like to know how to fix this please.

Here are a couple of examples: https://www.boutiquetraveler.com/vancouver/ https://www.boutiquetraveler.com/vancouver/contact/

You can see the white space above the hero image. It’s only for full-width elements that are first on the page

Hey thegoverseas,

I’m currently not seeing any space above the full width rows on those pages: https://imgur.com/a/WigbN8o can you please let me know what browser you’re using and if you’ve cleared your cache since updating?

Thanks

Hi guys,

i was wondering how to change the text of the portfolio navigation at the bottom of a portfolio item. It says next project or previous project, and we want to change that text to volgende/vorige project (dutch translation).

Is there a quick fix to do this in the code (we don’t want to use wpml plugin for example?

Hey nohaucreative,

You can use the .po file to translate with any free translation plugin, you don’t need a premium translations plugin such as WPML for this http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/translations/

Cheers

Is this current version of the theme compatible with the latest Woocommerce 3.3.5? I’ve seen that it isn’t, but need confirmation please. We need to update Wordpress but doubt it will work with the Salient 8.0 version.

Hey 79design, yes the latest version is compatible with the latest WooCommerce – you can either use the Envato market plugin or the even easier plugin called “easy theme upgrades” as documented in http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/

Do you advise upgrading Wordpress FIRST? I haev bought the theme now and installed the Envato thing. So is it best to do Wordpress, Theme, Woocmmerce etc? I think the site was so lacking in current code, it caused server issues.

Hey 79design, you can update Salient first and then WordPress/WooCommerce if you’d like – this way there should be no incompatibility between the current versions of WP/Woo for the small bit of time until you update the theme

I’m having an issue with playing videos on mobile. Currently when I go to play a video on an iPhone 5S on Safari, it opens a lightbox and scrolls the page all the way to the bottom. If I scroll back up I can see the video and it plays fine if I hit play, but obviously this is pretty confusing/jarring.

The video is halfway down the page here: https://www.artfulruckus.com/work/xterra/

Thanks, Tom

Hey Tom,

Can you confirm whether or not it’s occurring for you when you use a source for the video lightbox from youtube/vimeo as expected? Also, there’s a newer lightbox script in the Salient options panel > general settings > functionality tab called “fancyBox3” that you should change try using

Thanks

Hey ThemeNectar,

Thanks for the response. Ironically enough, switching to fancyBox3 makes the video work on mobile, but the video pop-up does not appear on desktop (although the audio plays, weird). It seems to work fine with a video hosted on vimeo, but I would prefer to avoid that as I do not want to have their branding present on the video. Is there another workaround or a better way to use a self-hosted video?

Thanks, Tom

Hey Tom_Munz,

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


.fancybox-slide video {     
    visibility: visible;
    position: absolute!important;
    left: 0;
    display: block!important;
    top: 0;
    margin: 0!important;
    background-color: transparent!important;
    padding: 0!important;
}

Cheers

hello, I am trying to make our webpage same as your demo http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-minimal-portfolio/full-width-masonry/. I have changed all the thumbnails to 1000×500 , 500×500, 500×1000 as instructed. Regenerate thumbnails are also done. However as you can see http://mazstudio.com/works/ the grid is not equlaity. Can you perhaps advise? thanks

Hey mazzaji,

It seems you’re using custom thumbnails rather than the featured image upload which is needed for a grid masonry layout. You don’t need to upload any of the featured images precropped at those minimum dimensions, you just need to ensure the image is larger than the minimum dimensions for each relevant size. For example, and image uploaded at 1600px by 1000px is ready to be shown in any of the masonry sizes. Please use the featured image upload option to achieve the layout you’re after, or you could keep the custom thumbnails if you’re okay with turning the grid “item spacing” to “default” instead of the currently selected “10px”. This way the items would be flush and a more javascript calcs (that only are used when using featured images) wouldn’t be needed to create the correct spacing when using grid item spacing

Cheers

Thanks lot. It works perfectly. I have one more question. After importing the minimal portfolio demo, my contact form 7 style has changed. How caan I keep the original style? thank you

Hey mazzaji,

In the Salient options panel > form styling tab you can alter what styling options you desire :)

Cheers

Please add proper support for WooCommerce’s official Product Reviews Pro. It currently does not render properly and they suggest we do not use your theme as a result.

Hey sam1994, verify that your “overall form style” in the Salient options panel > form styling tab is set to “inherit from theme skin” and that the “Enable Fancy Select/Checkbox/Radio Styling” is off as well – these options won’t work with some third party plugins

Can you please fix it? It is an official WooCommerce plugin.

Hey sam1994, did changing the theme option I recommended not fix the issue for you or are you referring to adding support for the fancy option with the plugin?

Hello there!!

I’d would like to know how to edit/remove the dark overlay in this section: http://prntscr.com/jbsjkp http://prntscr.com/jbsjzk http://www.basinfused.com/

I’m currently using the Corporate Creative demo. Please let me know!

Hey thipatriota!

Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:


.nectar-fancy-box[data-style="parallax_hover"] .bg-img:after {
  display: none!important;
}

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar,

Please visit: http://www.designreborne.com/projects/berenson/portfolio/toulouse-lautrec

When you click on the thumbnail to view the image larger a caption appears at the bottom. The caption disappears after a few seconds.

Can you please let me know how I can keep the caption on permanently. I do not want is disappearing. Many thanks.

Best, Alan

Hi ThemeNectar,

Follow up question:

1. Do you know why when I am cycling though the large images some of the captions do not appear even though they have one in the Media Library?

2. When cycling though the large images, sometimes the caption from the previous image continues over to the next several images?

Do you know of a fix for both situations outlined above?

Best, Alan

Hey Alan,

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 ThemeNectar,

I have submitted a ticket with WP login info.

Best, Alan

Hello,

I’m trying to get control over the amount of columns in woocommerce product page overview. i tried the 6 column code but nothing happens.

Any advice what css to use? It is a shame this isn’t added in salinet settings, just like the mozaic settings.

Thnx for your help. cheers

THnx mate,

Works like a charm. I just change the width % and 5n+5 to adjust to other numbers? nm i can indeed :)

- Any ideas on the greyed bg?

Found the grey overlay code.

/*disable grey overlay woocommerce */

.woocommerce .container-wrap { background-color: #fff!important; }

.archive .page-header-bg-image:after { background-color: transparent; }

Thnx for your help and your awesome theme!

You’re welcome Ragmannl :)

Check the Salient options panel > WooCommerce tab and see the “Product Archive Page BG Color” field.

Hi ThemeNectar! Would you mind confirming the appropriate way/location to implement the Facebook Messanger code into your theme, but only on a specific “Contact” page?

They request to input the code within the code of each page requiring the plugin to show. I’ve attempted to input into the page using the Raw JS function in the page builder, but it doesn’t seem to be working

The code is: <!- Load Facebook SDK for JavaScript -> <script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = ‘https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk/xfbml.customerchat.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.12&autoLogAppEvents=1'; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’));</script> <!- Your customer chat code ->

Thanks very much!

Hey thomasboarder,

Is there a specific place within the HTML that they require it to be placed? Could you also supply your URL in regards where it’s added so I can see the error?

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar, have just sent you an email directly in response to your question above. Thank you!

Thanks thomasboarder :)

Hi,

We followed all your instructions here step-by-step: https://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/1409962/

and this is the code we used: .nectar-fancy-box[data-style=”parallax_hover”] .bg-img:after{ background-color: rgba(51,51,51,0.1) !important; }

But our fancy box on the CASE STUDIES section is still showing a dark overlay: Check this link: goo.gl/r74vTJ

With the code we used, the overlay must be light, so why is it still dark.

Please help!

Hey envato999, the css snippet you’re using is only relevant for fancy boxes using the “Parallax hover” style. To target the style you’re using, use this snippet:

body .nectar-fancy-box .box-bg:after {
    background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.1)!important;
}

Cheers

How easy is it to customize elements for the site? Say I want all “fancy box” instances to have a gradient background. As a developer, is it easy for me to create a child theme and have these styles work for a client moving forward even she doesn’t know any code?

Do you provide support for developers using this theme to customize in that way?

Thanks!

Hey codelovecreative,

The fancy box already offers the option to set a gradient BG overlay in the “Color box hover effect” style, however in general you can indeed override theme element styles with css in your child theme if you desire. We are always here to help with basic css queries if you need assistance :)

Cheers

Hello my website crash after updating your theme http://altimatitle.com/

Hey Fixedman, can you please remove the maintenance page on that URL so I can take a look or please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so we can take a further look? https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Cheers

Hello I can’t that is what I got when I go to wp-admin page http://altimatitle.com/wp-admin/index.php?avada_update=1&ver=400&step=0&new=1

Hey Fixedman, Could you please check the server error logs so you can see the full error being reported by the server for more information?

i’m also seeing in the provided admin url that there’s a forced URL parameter relating to a different theme than Salient (Avada)

Hello ThemeNectar!

I`ve recently installed the tech support theme and the contact form isnt showing up on the contact page.. http://prntscr.com/jb4vdq

How do i export the same contact form from the demo?

Hey thipatriota!

Could you share the actual URL so I can see what demo you’re referring to? We don’t currently offer any demo called “tech support theme” However, it looks as though you just need to install the plugin “contact form 7”

Cheers

Could you please make a subscription box theme? There are none for wordpress or woo out there that are good, they don’t offer versatility to build a box, mix and match, etc. We’re just stuck with the boilerplate woocommerce product page with quantity field. Not very dynamic for subscription box sites—thanks!

Hey ehong33234,

Thanks for the request :)

Cheers

Hello,

We have 3 items in a row, which have quite large spaces in between them. Can you let us know how we can make those gaps smaller please. The different screenshots are here: https://snag.gy/TDfAFK.jpg

Hey Micatuca,

This would require a line of custom css – can you share the URL in regards so I can provide an example?

Thanks

Is there a way to center the text on the slider? I cant seem to find any options that can center the text. Oh and is there a way to add a overlay color on the images? http://msrconsultingservice.com/

Hey nikitaleonovets,

1. There should be a align alignment field for you in every edit slide page: https://imgur.com/a/ehZyf5v If you’re not seeing that, kindly open a ticket in regards on the support forum

2. In the fancy box element, the portfolio/blog elements and by setting the image as a column background and then setting a column background color and adjusting the background color opacity

Cheers

Hi – I’m looking to shorten the space under the Testimonial text in the Minimal Layout. Currently I don’t see where that is, can you help? thanks!

Html is rendering like this…

<div class="inner"><p style="height: 170px;">“Jason was wonderful to work with! We visited as a team building activity and all of our staff enjoyed the experience. We would highly recommend!” </p><span class="star-rating-wrap"> <span class="star-rating"><span style="width: 100%;" class="filled" /></span></span><span>Nikki S.</span></div>

The p style height is what is forcing the space, I think, but I can’t find it.

thanks!

Hey brianlichty!

Do I need a separate license to Access WPBakery Page Builder Template Library? Is this not included in the theme? How do we get access to the 200+ useful templates?

Hey jackstin, the WPBakery template library and the Salient studio are two unrelated template systems – in order to get access to the raw plugin template library, you would need a separate licence, but no additional purchase is needed for the Salient studio, which is what is advertised and demonstrated in Salient: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/
