Hi there, if i want to place a divider line inside of a row without the line moving outside of that box when the window size changes, how is that possible? I’m trying to create custom pricing boxes

Hey sociallyinspire,

Could you kindly share the URL to your setup so I can take a look?

Thanks

Hi

Only feedaback: Fancy Box Settings – Stil – Parallax Hover Effect – Min Height dont not working. Here the screenshot. https://we.tl/Lxnm1zAbQx

Cheers

Hey MiraMaya,

Could you share the URL in regards so I can see the value in effect?

Thanks

​I’m getting console errors on my site due to it trying to load the Montserrat font from Google. How can I remove this script or stop it from loading?

Hey urbanstorm,

All fonts can be unassigned in the Salient options panel > typography tab, however could you share the URL in regards so I can see the error? We use that same font in a few demos and nothing is tracked in the console: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate/

Cheers

It is because we are using an SSL certificate on the site and it’s trying to generate the font from an insecure stylesheet address. We’re not using Monserrat at all, so I’d love to just remove it all together if possible. https://kaskadenacouncil.com/

Hey urbanstorm, if you simply set all of the font families within the Salient options panel > typography tab, no Google fonts will load on your setup. Remember to check each of the tabs within the typography section i.e. “navigation & page header”, “general html elements” etc.

I just installed the theme but it crash the whole wordpress, i used the wordpress 4.9.6 clean install everytime i installed the theme it crash any idea

I changed to many different PHP version but still no go the latest was PHP 7.1 max_execution_time 60 memory_limit 256M post_max_size 48M upload_max_filesize 48M

after reading others I figured out. It was never updated to 7.1 it was 5.2 php that was the reason of the crash. Now working on 7.025 seems to be fine at the moment

Hey keneda2x, glad to hear you’ve sorted it :)

How do I make a column sticky?

I tried widgetised sidebar but it didnt work since I have the column inside a tab.

Hey interactionmarks, the widgetised sidebar is the only way Salient offers to make arbitrary content sticky and is required to be used inside of a regular row > column. Making a column inside of a tab sticky would require custom development

Hi! We’re having issues with the video header playing on Google Chrome. It worked up until about last week then it stopped playing.

Here’s a link to the problem. http://fcstldev.staging.wpengine.com/home-testing-2/

The top video is the page header video, the second video a row with a video as the background.

Is there something we’re doing wrong or is this a different issue? Neither video seems to play for us.

Hey faithchurchfilm,

https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes

The Nectar page header video BGs don’t offer the option to add the “muted” attribute like row video BGs so Chrome won’t start playing on load. However, I’ve added the fix for this into the current beta now where the video BGs have the muted attribute by default. If you’d like a copy of the beta, please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Cheers

Pre sales question can the mobile heder be trasparent? becouse I see heaps of question about it

Hey marcuspera,

Not unless you’re using the permanent transparent option like this demo: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-agency

Cheers

Hey- thanks for the back and forth help. I ended up moving my site from the local host I was working off of over to wpengine. Here is the page example I am talking about:

http://www.tenthunder.com/ten-thunder/

Basically I want the carousel video lightbox to look like the carousel image gallery lightbox on the top – where you see portions of the additional slides, but one slide is focused on and centered. If that makes sense.

Thanks,

No worries pvictor4,

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


@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
body .nectar-flickity.nectar-carousel[data-desktop-columns="3"][data-format="default"] .flickity-slider .cell {
    width: 54.9%;
}
}

Cheers

Sweet! Works perfect. Thank you. Out of curiosity where would I go to begin to learn how to make styling short code changes like that? Any good resources you know of? No big deal if it’s too complicated. Thanks for the help!

Hey pvictor4!

It’s just knowledge of raw CSS – if you’re unfamiliar with it, i’d recommend checking out some beginner guides on YouTube if you’re a visual learner :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFR4WXiLzpc

Hi, some Google fonts are missing (ie: Tajawal), is it possible to add them?

Hey jmontez, we’ll be updating the Google font list for the upcoming update

Stay tuned :)

Hi,

We contacted WPBakery about the Visual Composer plugin asking them the following:

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

They said that you can change the grid gutter width for the columns under WPBakery Page Builder -> Design Options. By default it is set to 15px.

But this doesnt seem to obe available. DO you know where we can find it or change the spacing a different way?

Also, in the search results, it shows a list of page names….is it possible for those to have thumbnail images as well?

Hey Micatuca,

1. To achieve this in Salient, you could either use a nested row setup: https://imgur.com/a/omxu6hg

a: set the inner row to have "none" for the "column margin" option 
b: set the columns in the inner row to have 1-2% padding

or you could use css to set the custom grid spacing

2. This would currently require a modification to the search.php file

How To make the header trasnparent when mega menu is on is there a way?

Hey marcuspera,

Check the Salient options panel > header navigation > dropdown/megamenu section

Cheers

please let me know which updates will be included to the upcoming update of salient in regards to the new eu regulations. thanks

Hey jsdfied, Salient as a theme itself doesn’t collect any user data – however WordPress offers core functionality that does such as comments, user registrations and then additional plugins you may be using could as well such as form related plugins, analytical plugins etc.

We’ve also already commented on third party integration such as GA, youtube embeds etc:

To handle Google Analytics, in addition to making use of the new built-in GDPR related options they now offer such as “Anonymize IP”, there’s also plugins out there that will offer GDPR compliance easily such as GDPR Cookie Compliance. This plugin and others like it will offer your user a consent popup when first accessing the site and will prevent Google Analytics from being loaded until the user agrees.

As far as Youtube and other video embeds go, we offer the option in the theme to self host but can’t provide workarounds for all external sources in a regular embed to alter how they function by default. It’s up to you to decide if you continue using those with the new legislation, but hopefully Youtube simply offers a compliant version of embeds directly without additional work. We may add the option to display a tooltip or overlay before clicking to display the video lightbox element, but since the Youtube script doesn’t load when using the video lightbox element before the click event already, you could simply add a text element below stating something like “By clicking you accept etc..”

hey again, what do you include within the update in regards to google fonts and other third party fonts? Do you include a tool to upload webfonts directly to the theme? As you know they read some user details to analyse it. So to be 100% save it need a solution, that now direct ot third partys, or?

Hey jsdfied,

we don’t load any Google fonts by default, you have the freedom to unassign all if you desire – but we don’t have any tool to upload custom fonts into the theme, you’d need to use a third party plugin at this time

Sorry one last one for now

If I want to add other information into the header, eg an email address and a telephone number how would I go about that please?

Hey Rich,

You can use custom menu items to display text items with no link, we’re also adding a new text area in the secondary header area in the next update

Great – when is this update coming out please?

Hey richpcreative, we don’t have an exact ETA as of now but likely in 2-3 weeks

Hello :)

1. I have the secondary navigation header selected to show the language switcher flag, but I dont want the social icons to show there. Is it possible to keep the social media icons in the standard header?

2. Also, how can I make the social media icons bigger on the standard header?

Cheers

Hey q1mkt!

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


.lang-item > a > img {
    margin-bottom: 0!important;
}

body #header-outer #social-in-menu i, html .material #slide-out-widget-area.slide-out-from-right .off-canvas-social-links a i {
    font-size: 22px!important;
    line-height: 32px;
    height: 27px;
    width: 34px!important;
}

Cheers

Perfect !

Cheers q1mkt :)

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!
