dear salient support,

try to​ activate the full screen rows on www.themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate-creative/#discover​ and have a look to it. the image will switch a layer higher than the text and you can not read the text completely. is there a quick solution for this issue?

best regards

Hey kgm2015,

Give the top parent column that’s holding the text a class name of “high-zindex” (enter it without quotes into the extra class name field) add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:


body .full-page-inner .high-zindex { z-index: 100; }

Cheers

Hi there,

Question:

When I look at this page on my mobile, I notice that the structure / logic has disappeared a bit. I work here with 4 columns. On mobile you see that the image of column 4 connects again to column 5. Most beautiful would be that I keep on mobile the following order: image, text, image, text, image, text, image, text etc. Hope you understand what I mean. Is this something I can force on mobile view? On the desktop it looks good enough. But on mobile this structure looks weird. I also have the same problem here:

 Hope you can provide me with good feedback :-)

Cheers!

Hey ruimdenker,

I’m only seeing the class “reverse-direction-mobile” on one row within the page DE 10 PRINCIPES VAN TCV and it looks like you have a dot (.) before the beginning of it, which will stop it from working. Can you change it from
.reverse-direction-mobile
to
reverse-direction-mobile

Cheers

Already tried everything you said, but nothing works.

https://webdesign-ruimdenkers.nl/tcvoedsel/10-principes/

I changed it!

Hey ruimdenker, now it’s currently taking effect on tablet views (690px – 1000px), but failing on mobile due to lack of specificity in the css – change it to this:


@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.reverse-direction-mobile > .col.span_12 {
    display: flex!important;
    flex-direction: column-reverse;
}
}

unmute background video still has no sound..? I use youtube video background for a row.. even unmute i still do not have sound.. How come

Hey happyeungin,

the mute checkbox is only referring to the self hosted background – WPBakery Youtube video BGs are always muted. Also, the checkbox for self hosted is also going away for video BGs soon as well due to new Chrome guidelines: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes

How to change the automatic text on the Search box for multilingual sites? When i click the search box, it says START TYPING. when i start typing, it’s all UPPERCASE. How to change the language of start typing from english to any other language? Also how to make it Capital instead of all UPPERCASE?

Thanks.

Hey carlandenet,

1. To change the text properties, switch your theme skin to “Material” in the general settings tab of the Salient options panel. The font family/text transform etc will then match what you set for the “Navigation Font” in the Salient options panel > typography tab 2. You can use the included .pot file to generate a .po file with your desired translations http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/translations/

I attempted to update Salient, as you released a new version today. When I updated, it gave me this error (see screenshot) and now the website is offline with a message: “Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.”

Please advise ASAP. Also opened a ticket on your website.

Now the theme has been deleted and replaced with WordPress’ default theme. This needs to be resolved. Please advise.

Hey iamjeffsmith, I will take a look at the ticket you opened now and see what’s going on

“Your theme (Salient Child Theme) contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files”. The last message I saw about this was 4 months ago. Anyone here know how to update this theme?

Hey rednosemonkey, Salient doesn’t include any of those files by default – someone who did work on your site must have added them

I am a little confused. No one has done work on my site and the message says “Your theme (Salient Child Theme) contains outdated copies of some woocommerce template files.” The child theme only has some small changes to the core Salient theme and will not be a cause of the woocommerce/salient conflict. Both woocommerce and Salient are using the latest version. Some of these files seem to be woocommerce core files. Are you saying that they are unrelated to woocommerce and Salient?

Hey rednosemonkey, this is all of the WooCommerce template files Salient includes: https://imgur.com/a/O6LvcNM – there is no “emails” directory or any of those 5 files. Can you check your salient > woocommerce directory and see if you have an “email” directory?

Hello! ive used external-button-1 to open links in a new tab from nectar slider buttons, but this doesnt work with full slide links… how do i make full slide links open in a new tab? thanks!!!

Hey paulinavargasin,

Cheers

Hey Nectar! Could you please take a look at these page under the team member settings within Adriano Allain. The text is not formatting well even though it is formatted in the bio. Please take a look and help me format it correctly so people can read from top to bottom easily.

Below is the link to the page

Hey lnbbroductions,

Can you please try updating your version of Salient to the latest release?

Cheers

Hi, if an element is hidden in your page builder is the markup rendered in the browser and hidden via CSS or not rendered at all? I’m asking because we like to do alternative mobile layouts but aren’t comfortable with loading content twice, thanks!

Hey billgatesv2, WPBakery uses css to hide them – they are not dynamically removed from the DOM all together

Is there any way to add a button when setting up the page header? I currently have the page header title, subtitle and animated mouse scroll with full screen enabled, but I’d like to add a CTA button below the subtitle text.

Any help/clarification would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Linkinspy, instead of using a page header for this you’d need to use a Nectar Slider set to fullscreen or a page builder row set to fullscreen

Cheers

It’s possible to get the animated mouse scroll icon on a full screen page builder row?

Hey Linkinspy,

Unfortunately not as of now, but i’ve noted the +1 for the idea on the wishlist – the Nectar slider can display it now though

Cheers

I’m having a real dilemma here. I cannot make my homepage video work athttp://www.distilledfilms.co.uk/ I’ve added mp4 / webm / ogv files, I’ve added this to css: .mfp-iframe-scaler iframe, .mfp-iframe-scaler > div.video, .mfp-iframe-scaler > div.video .mejs-container { box-shadow: none!important; }

I’ve added this to .htaccess: AddType video/mp4 .mp4 AddType video/mp4 .m4v AddType video/ogg .ogv AddType video/webm .webm AddType video/webm .webmv

Nothing will make it work.

The video only plays in Firefox – nothing else.

Can you help?

Hey nigelpengelly, Chrome’s recent update prevents videos from autoplaying that have sound before user interaction: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes the update coming out today will fix this by adding the “muted” attribute to self hosted video BGs

Will this update come from Google or from ThemeNectar?

Hey nigelpengelly, we released the update yesterday (8.5.6)

Cheers

Hello, as I decrease the font size of the blog titles, I did not find this anywhere, page link: http://amorevolutivo.com.br/blog/

Thanks!

Hey ViniciusWronski,

That should still be controlled by the H3 setting – i’m currently seeing the following values set from the options panel:

    font-family: Nunito;
    font-size: 24px;
    line-height: 40px;

Can you let me know what you have entered in there?

Cheers

I got it, thank you, your support is incredible!

How do I make the links underline, currently only change color when mouseover, I did not find this setting.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/151JwvvaPDe5uYP_U1sZXEfiKGA-p4bI7/view?usp=sharing

Hey ViniciusWronski, there’s currently no option for that in the body of pages but I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist

Cheers

Hi, how can i completely hide the “Salient Studio” & “Add Element” from Edit Page and other accessible links, so it’s not even visible when adding new page, please advise.

Hey astutestudio, we list in the documentation how to remove the Salient studio: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/ – however WPBaKery doesn’t offer an option in the plugin to remove the add element button. You can disable the builder and also disable access to certain elements in the WP admin panel > WPBakery page builder > role manager

Thanks Mate!

You’re welcome astutestudio :)

​Hi, Category header image​ doesn’t show up and I don’t understand why… Thank you Best

When will WooCommerce 3.4 be supported, the update creates huge UI issues in Salient 8.5.5.

Hey jadenblack, the update is coming out today however there’s currently no known UI issues with 3.4 and Salient 8.5.5 – can you please list specifically what you’re referring to?

I have several categories in my store, is there an easy way to use the page builder to set a custom look for each of my WooCommerce category pages?

Hey Gallitin,

You can only alter the page header background BG image for each automatically created archive category page from WooCommerce. You can do this by adding an image to the field named “Category Header Image” in the WP admin panel > products > categories > category. Just make sure you have a page header set for the main shop page as well

Cheers

Hi, how, Or is possible to do the update directly in wordpress?

Thank you in advance

Hey 2bii_net,

You can use the plugin called “Envato market” in regards: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/

I am setting my portfolios into my website using the salient-frostwave demo. Each portfolio project i do shows up in the front end with the dates i created the portfolio itself, i don’t like/want this. I look everywhere to change this behavior within the settings but no luck. Please let me know how i can have my portfolios without showing the dates they was created.

Hey carlandenet,

There’s an option for that in the Salient options panel > portfolio > functionality tab called “Display Dates on Projects?”

i have found the way to remove the dates from my portfolio. now i want your support please to do this following: - i want to add in the sidebar of my portfolios the URL and dates of the projects as well as the features header. Here is an example from this site: https://www.awakensolutions.com/portfolio/bromelin/. All 4 header as you see. - I want to add more Extras Colors to use. how do i add more extra colors without changing the existing ones coming with the theme?

Please advise. thanks.

Hey carlandenet,

there’s no theme option for output the date/URL automatically in that area, though could manually add it into the sidebar area for each project. That user may have done some custom development to format it like that as well. The default formatting looks like this: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/portfolio/blackbox/ the content you enter into the editor goes on top, and the attributes get populated automatically below. There’s also no way to add more colors than the main 6 slot color scheme (4 accent/2 gradient) without custom development. However, many elements allow for a custom color selection, outside of the main color scheme.

Hello,

Can you tell me is it possible to have 2 different portfolios in different styles? I would like to create a website which has a landing page with 2 options to go to either my photography portfolio or my design portfolio. I want them both in a masonry style layout but I want the design portfolio in a style that takes you through to another page to read more about each project. But with the photography portfolio I would just like to have a lightbox pop up. I would also like to have the options to ‘view all’ along with the the options to define each category.

Thanks,

Chris

Hey Chris,

The portfolio element inside of the page builder can be used in any style multiple times on a single page or on different pages.

Cheers

Is it possible to remove the grey lines that appear between the search and hamburger icons?

Thanks

Hey MarcGarner,

Change the snippet to this:

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


.ascend #header-outer[data-full-width="true"] header#top nav ul #search-btn a, .ascend #header-outer[data-full-width="true"] header#top nav ul .slide-out-widget-area-toggle a {
  border: none!important;
}

Cheers

Works great, thanks Brilliant theme and support as always.

You’re very welcome MarcGarner :)
