Sorry couple more questions
1) Is there a template for a search bar that can be added in to the page builder? – I can’t seem to find one?
2) Is there a building block for forms to be added anywhere on the pages please, eg create a new form and add it into the content builder.
Thanks Rich
Hey Rich,
1. There’s no search bar element, but the regular search widget is available to place in any widget area in the theme
2. We don’t have a built in form builder, but provide styling for third party forms such as contact form 7, gravity forms etc
Cheers
Great thanks, I’ll try that
You’re welcome richpcreative 
Hi guys (I raised a ticket about this, but not heard anything, so I thought I’d submit it here),
I’ve got a client project and I’m thinking of using Salient. Before I make my final decision, I just want your input.
1) Is Salient compatible with the Events Calendar plugin?
2) Is it possible to use Slider Revolution as the main header slider on the home page rather than using the Salient sliders?
3) Do you know if Salient is compatible with Mailchimp related plugins and forms? Also, have you ever heard of these guys? https://www.download-monitor.com/extensions/mailchimp-lock/ And would their plugin be compatible?
4) I really like this website as inspiration for my client’s new site.. do you think I can achieve something similar using Salient? https://www.doblin.com/ I really like the way they have highlighted text on their menu section: http://prntscr.com/jiovwq
5) How easy is it to change the word ‘Project’ to ‘Case Study’ for the portfolio navigation? http://prntscr.com/jiox4i
If all the above is okay, then I’ll be confident to use Salient again.
Thanks
Hey Krissieg,
1. It should be, if you encounter any issues just let me know
2. Yes, we just don’t bundle the plugin with the theme
3. Salient should work with most form related plugins, if any display weird just remember to check the Salient options panel > form styling tab and change the Overall Form Style to “inherit from theme skin”
4. That would require some custom css at this time
5. You can translate that string via the .po file
Cheers
Hello, in my menu the line under the current item active (like this menu http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate-2/) do not appear. Why? thanks
Hey webjamarea,
In the Salient options panel > header navigation > animation effects can you verify that you have “Animated Underline” for the “Header Link Hover/Active Effect” field?
Cheers
Thanks for your reply. I’ve “Animated Underline” for the “Header Link Hover/Active Effect” field, but the underline don’t appear. http://test.jamarea.com/
Hey webjamarea, instead of using the centered-menu header format, and then assigning all your items into the pull right menu location, you could just use the “default layout” in the Salient options panel > header navigation > layout related tab to fix the issue for now. I’ve noted to sort the active effect for the pull right menu location in the next release
Cheers
Hi,
We’re facing a problem when on iPad and on the team page. When opening the individual fullscreen popup bios (bio left, pic right), users claim they cant scroll the bio. I installed the last update but the problem still persists.. Any solution for this? Thanks
Hey xencreative,
Can you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
Thanks
www.mortselleeft.be team members are on the homepage, thanks
Hey xencreative,
try to add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
.using-mobile-browser .nectar_team_member_overlay .team_member_details {
height: 100vh;
overflow: scroll;
}
Cheers
Hi guys,
Is it possible to have the WC shopping cart appear in the header “only when products are in the cart” using the Material theme? I can do it on the default theme, but on Ascend/Material the cart is always there even when empty. Just wondering if the settings from the default theme can be applied to the Material theme for the header cart?
Thanks!
Hey SeanAUS120,
add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
#header-outer .cart-menu-wrap { display: none; }
#header-outer .cart-menu-wrap.has_products {
display: block;
}
Cheers
Awesome, thank you
You’re welcome SeanAUS120
Hi all,
I’ve just installed a fresh copy of WP and then uploaded the Salient theme. But it’s not allowing my to “activate” the theme. Even previewing the theme leaves a 500 error.
This happens only with this theme and there are no plugins active. Any ideas?
This page isn’t working [domain] is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500
Found the error. It was an old .php version as you pointed out to another purchaser (I did not see the thread).
Since changing the php version in the cPanel – the theme works perfectly!
Many thanks
Hey dcoetzee, glad to hear you’ve sorted it
Cheers!
I know this will come under support and happy to renew, but wondered if you could initially answer me these quick questions
I want to use this theme: http://demo.richpearson.co.uk/laterallife/ but in the slider area I need some potential changes and additions – are the following possible
1) I want to add an an extra block of custom text under the title of the post in the slider 2) I want to be able to add lots of posts to this slider eg at least 10
Rich
Hey Rich,
the link you’ve provided is password protected, however – assuming you’ve referring to the post slider as in your previous comment, that would require custom development. I could point you to the file location for modding, but unfortunately we can’t do the mod for you, as that falls outside the scope of regular support
Yes please and I’ll have a go changing it myself – can the file be moved to the child theme as well and i’ll mod it there?
Hey richpcreative, the file is nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php and the function is “nectar_recent_posts” – in order to move it into a child theme, you’d need to copy this into the child theme functions.php as well:
function nectar_shortcode_processing(){
require_once ( 'nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php' );
}
Great thanks, so just move the file on it’s own to the child theme and add this to the functions.php? Or do I need to mo e the folder structure it’s in to the child theme as well?
Also can you tell me the location of the other sliders so I can mod them please? And indeed any code that would need to go in the functions for them?
Hey richpcreative, what other sliders are you referring to? There’s any possible slider locations throughout the theme
Cheers
Well I want a slider that I can add custom titles to really and not have to mod? – but if I have to I will
hi, whats the fastest way to create an horizontal form in your theme? thanks
Hey zivrol, that depends on what form plugin you’re using – we’ve created a sample horizontal structure for contact form 7 in the docs which you can copy/paste: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/importing-contact-form-data/
Cheers
Hi,
I am currently using the video background on my homepage, when I inspect the page using Google Chrome, I have 1 error message:

Please kindly help to fix
Hey anthonysinclair,
Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look
Thanks
Thanks for the reply. https://vocalviews.com
Hey anthonysinclair, if you mouseover the source of the script throwing the error in the console (embed.js) you’ll see it’s from disqus – the source being: https://vocalviews.disqus.com/embed , have you verified that this only shows when Salient is active?
Hi, Apologies for the delay I had to test this, I can confirm, this error does not display with our old theme, only Salient. Thanks
Hi I don’t know why but my google map page has issue. It says “this page didn’t load google maps correctly, se the java script console for technical details.” I checked updates section from dashboard. both plugins and themes are all up to date. my website is creatillusion.com. Please contact me to young@creatillusion.com Thanks
Hey tranxpoter,
Have you verified that you’ve entered a valid API key at the Salient options panel > css/script related tab > “Google Maps API Key” field?
Cheers
I did fixed it thanks for respond my question.
You’re welcome tranxpoter
Hi! The dropdown menu (contactform7) only opens when you right-click on it. I know i can turn of “Fancy Select/Checkbox/Radio styling” and “Disable Fade Out on Click” but I really need the “fancy select” styling.
So it looks fine and sort of behaves like it should but only opens with the wrong mouse button… how can I fix this?
Hey UncloudedStudio,
I can’t replicate this on my end, could you kindly share your URL so I can check your setup?
Cheers
Okay… for some strange reason this happens only when i’m using a local setup. Live versions do not seem to be affected. So problem solved i guess. Thanks for the reply!
Glad you sorted it UncloudedStudio
Hello. Is it possible to move the quantity and buy button NEXT to the price (on the same line) in WooCommerce.
I am able to change the order using hooks but I cannot get in on the same line. Ideally I would have
PRICE – QUANTITY – BUY BUTTON STOCK
Also see: https://www.hardwarewalletonline.nl/product/ledger-nano-s/
thank you
Hey dzineee,
add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
.woocommerce div.product p.price { margin-right: 15px; }
.woocommerce div.product p.price, .woocommerce div.product span.price,
.woocommerce div.product form.cart {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.in-stock { float: none; display: inline-block; }
.woocommerce-product-rating { margin-bottom: 0!important; }
Cheers
Hello. Thank you so much for your suggestion. When I use this code I get:
PRICE – STOCK – QUANTITY – BUY BUTTON
However, the STOCK button should be below, like this: PRICE – QUANTITY – BUY BUTTON STOCK
Is that possible?
Hey dzineee, unfortunately not without some further mods to WooCommerce since that’s the current position of elements in the markup
OK. Thank you for your assistance.
You’re welcome dzineee
Hello! A couple questions..
1. It is not letting me open a ticket for this theme…
2. Does Salient still have Visual Composer, my version only has WP bakery page builder. But I would rather work with visual composer.
Hey jfanzago,
1. What is the error message given to you when you try to?
2. WPBakery is just what they renamed Visual Composer, it’s still the same plugin as it was and we include the latest version of it. Do you feel that something is missing vs. an older version that you remember?
Cheers
Well I thought I would be able to do a drag and drop from frontend editor like their website shows ( https://wpbakery.com/) but instead I have to customize through the pages tab.
Hey jfanzago, the front end editor is disabled in the customized Salient version, but we’re pretty close to integrating it
I can’t login to the support ticket system – so asking my question here – we are using most current version of salient and in our website searches within the search function, the shortcodes are showing up instead of the excerpts we’ve handcrafted. The search results show shortcodes on some of the custom post types that have video and memberpress shortcodes restricting access, instead of the post excerpts. What can we do?
Hey SaturateWorld,
Can you please share the URL in regards so I can take a look at what you’re referring to?
Thanks
Sure. Visit this search page and scroll down – you’ll see the code on one of the Custom post types we use: https://saturatetheworld.com/?s=coaching
How can I get rid of that?
Hey SaturateWorld, thanks for sharing that – it looks like you’re using a custom search template not included by default with Salient, as the theme doesn’t normally display any text other than the post type/title:
http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/?s=nectar Are you using a plugin to alter that?Hi, i want to use for my web site one of icon list view as i see in that page: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/icon-list/ My problem is that i don’t find in doc tutorial that explain me how i can do that and also i’ve set up in my demo domain all salient template to see the different page and learn from it but i don’t find a page like this to understand: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/icon-list/ Can you explain me?
Hey ndvcomunicazione,
That’s the icon list item available in the Salient page builder – you can also import some of those examples directly from the Salient studio: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/
Cheers
Hey Guys. I am having issues getting my background video to play through Chrome… https://missionescaperooms.com/ Works fine in all other browsers. The video is supposed to be at the top in the green area.
Let me know if you can help! Thanks!!!
(Note that it does not autoplay, but if you click Home or the logo, the video plays???)
Hey brianlichty, the latest Chrome is now forcing the “muted” option to be used in order to enable autoplaying – please check that option on your row BG settings to sort the issue
Cheers
right. thanks!
You’re welcome brianlichty
Hi, I had purchased the theme a few months ago, unfortunately my support has just expired however I do not intend to renew it since i didnt find it too efficient. I am currently incurring issues with some woocomerce plugins – Issueing 404 internal errors (the woocomerce supoprt advised me that this prblem is coming from the theme not being fully compatible with the woocomerce plugins ) In fact I keep getting this notification message on my dashboard:
“Your theme (Salient) contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files. These files may need updating to ensure they are compatible with the current version of WooCommerce. You can see which files are affected from the system status page. If in doubt, check with the author of the theme.”
also My website is extremely slow – i did follow all the steps the support help suggested with regards to optimizing the theme however theme is radically too slow still.
I look forward to your help . Thanks very much
-andreiHey andrei,
If you’re getting the error ““Your theme (Salient) contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files..” then you’re either using an outdated verison of Salient or when you uprgarded to the current version, you didn’t properly remove the old version first as the current Salient (8.5.5) contains no outdated files from the latest WooCommerce (3.3.5). Please share your URL in regards where the issues can be seen
Hi the website is www.ak-artistry.com
The 404 arises when i try to edit a page or product.
Can you kindly advise how I I can update the outdated files? thank you Andrei
currently I’m not having 404’s however the WP bakerly page builder is not loading when trying to edit pages and products
Hey andreixerri, have you confirmed that no other third party plugins you may have active are causing the issue? If so, 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, i don’t think its possible to open the ticket since my support has just expired a few weeks ago. Yes it is due to some plugins whch are efecting. the plugins include WP cache, Query monitor, Woocommerce Vendors, Membership and Subscriptions. However when i contacted woocommerce they advised me that thisis due to theme. maybe some files might be not compatible or ass in my case outdated.
Can you plese advise the way forward ? thanks
Hey andreixerri, we’ve tested to ensure compatibility with the latest WooCommerce so there is likely something else at play. When you open the browser console (f12) when loading the edit page, are there any errors logged?
Hi yes these are the errors that un up:
Uncaught ReferenceError: Backbone is not defined at notes-common-v2.js?ver=6.1-201820:32 at notes-common-v2.js?ver=6.1-201820:158 (anonymous) @ admin-bar-v2.js?ver=6.1-201820:2
Uncaught ReferenceError: _ is not defined
at admin-bar-v2.js?ver=6.1-201820:2A JavaScript problem on the page is preventing Query Monitor from working correctly. jQuery may have been blocked from loading.
JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 1.4.1
GET http://www.ak-artistry.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=6829&action=edit 404 (Not Found)
In addition i still have a notification ony dashboard saying that i have outdated copis of woocommerce even tho my theme is updated to the earliest version.
Can you please advise? thanks
To add, I am pretty certain that there is some problem with the following plugins snince i had checked them one by one: Woocomerce Vendors, Woocommerce mmeberships, WP Total cache & Remove Query Strings From Static Resources and (of which the later 2 I have deactivated)
Im currently still getting 404 errors on edit pages and WP bakerly not loading when opening and editing products however.
I had contacted the woocomerce suport and advised me that this could be an issue from the theme.
I look forward to your help, thanks
Hey andreixerri,
the error you mentioned of:Uncaught ReferenceError: Backbone is not defined at notes-common-v2.js?ver=6.1-201820:32 at notes-common-v2.js?ver=6.1-201820:158 (anonymous) @ admin-bar-v2.js?ver=6.1-201820:2
is not coming from Salient, but some other plugin – if you’d like to open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials or reach out via an email on the contact form on my author page, i’d be glad to take a closer look: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Sorry one last question, I assume with a demo like http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog-ultimate/ you could mix it with say http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate-creative/ – so you would have the best of both worlds? – I need to design a travel and lifestyle website, but I need the flexibility of a banner slider that has at least 10 items – plus I don’t want the whole site to be about posts, I need to add sections for testimonials, and about etc all on the homepage…
Hey, yes you can mix sections if desired: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/
Cheers
I also need to build a trip finder function, like this: https://www.abercrombiekent.co.uk/ possible within salient? – Rich
Hey Rich, that would require the use of a plugin or custom development at this time
And would you consider adding it to salient?
Hey richpcreative, i’ll note it on the wishlist
Cheers
Could I hire you to do it?
Hey richpcreative,
unfortunately i’m not personally available for freelance work, but you could find someone at Envato Studio https://studio.envato.com/
Cheers
Hiya. thinking of building a demo like this: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog-ultimate/ do you supply the demo files for this? – Rich
Hey Rich,
Salient includes a demo importer for all the demos shown, however note that older demos (over 2 years old) only include place holder images whereas newer demos, including the one you linked, import a full set of demo images as shown on the live demo
Cheers
What happens if I add say 10 or more items to the slider on this demo? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog-ultimate/
Hey richpcreative, you’d need to use one of other available blog slider styles as that specific slider only gives the option to feature between 1-4 posts given the navigation
Would there be a mod to add more easily? – if so which file would that be in please?
Hey richpcreative,
It’s located at nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php and the function is “nectar_recent_posts”
Cheers
