Hey Salient, So on my windows PC I can see my websites’ navigation bar at the top of my website but on my MacBook Pro I can’t? I only see a hamburger menu at the top like if I was using my phone or other devices. Including a screenshot to show you. I tested this on other devices and it works + went to sites that use the same template so it has to be my settings or something. Was wondering if you can guide me to fix it?. Screenshot: http://prntscr.com/jk0do4 Website: https://www.vaveili.com Thanks!

Hey Vaveili,

Check the Salient options panel > logo & general styling tab at the “Mobile Breakpoint” field and verify it’s at “1000”

Cheers

Hi, in next release please give option for modal window to open any internal page, iframe, html page etc. this is very very important feature which is missing.

Hey astutestudio,

Thanks for the feature request, i’ve noted the +1 for the idea

I am looking to have the affiliate product button to be styled like the add to cart button. Right now if I select affiliate product its a small black button and will not take the same styling as if I use a simple product. Any suggestions of the right CSS I can include to achieve this?

Hey mbianchi27,

Could you kindly share the URL where I can take a look at the affiliate button to assist?

Thanks

Hey, does anyone know how to deactivate Google fonts? Cause of GDPR I need to host the fonts locally. I downloaded, I put them in the /fonts folder and I used the css code given on the font site. But still the Theme is connecting to the google servers to get the font! Any idea?

Hey RuhrLife, as long as you’ve unassigned all the font families in the Salient > typography tab, no Google fonts will load.

I bought this theme 2 years ago and lost the files so I’ve purchased it again a week ago. I’m being told I can’t post in the Support forum though because it only sees my old, expired license and not my new one. It wants me to buy 6 more months of support. Can something be done about this? Thanks.

Hey laura_gibbs,

Did you purchase the entire theme again or just renew your support pack? H

Cheers

Hi! I purchased the whole thing again. I can provide my purchase code, if that helps?

Hey laura_gibbs,

Only a support pack renewal would have been needed to access the forum, you could get a refund for the theme purchase itself if you’d like here: https://themeforest.net/refund_requests/new

Either way, can you try for the meantime simply using a different email address in order to enter the new code into the ticksy forum to gain authorization?

Cheers

Hello Team,

Hope you’re doing really great, Can you please make this theme GDPR Ready? As of now we have to use 3rd party plugin to make it GDPR compatible but if it’s included in theme then we don’t have to worry about it.

GDPR Deadline is quickly coming closer 25th May 2018

Thanks, Prince

Hey Prince,

Salient as a theme itself doesn’t collect any user data, we’ll consider adding a popup to help integrate consent for Google Analytics, but there’s already great free plugins that handle this nicely https://wordpress.org/plugins/gdpr-cookie-compliance/

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;
}
