Just a quick question about shortcode length. So I imported the Corporate template. If I open my site’s /about/ page, and then theme nectar’s http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate/about/ page, they’re fairly similar. Not identical, but pretty much. If I click view source for both of them and then scroll down, the block of shortcode in the source code on my website is literally 8 times longer than the block of shortcode on themenectar.com. I counted the lines of shortcode and there are 827 lines on my page and 111 on themenectar’s page. I don’t have any other plugins installed, I didn’t change anything on the page. Why is this, and what can I do about it?
So I looked a little more, it looks like it’s the same amount of shortcodes even on a totally blank page. I tried deleting elements I won’t be using in the style.css file, but all the shortcodes are still there. So my updates question is: How can I trim the amount of shortcodes in the source? I know I won’t be using a number of elements, so for example, every single woocommerce shortcode is a waste of space for me personally. What files do I need to edit to have them not load with every single page?
Hey dlapz1001,
There are no shortcodes added onto a page by default – are you referring to internal css? If so, all you need to do to move that into an external file is enable the option in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab “Move Dynamic/Custom CSS Into External Stylesheet”
Cheers
Yes, shortcode was a misspeak, thank you for understanding me haha. And that worked! Thank you so much.
Hey dlapz1001, glad I could help 
How can we get the off canvas effect shown in blog dark demo? No reference in instructions.
Hey pinkgerbil,
That’s the regular “Slide out from right” Off Canvas Menu style, but with the theme skin set to “Material” in the Salient options panel > general settings tab
Cheers
请问购买之后,能有中文语言支持不?
Hey feelcool999,
Salient provides a .po file which can be used to translation, however we don’t offer an already translated Chinese version
Can you give me an idea on why my homepage video works sometimes but other times it’s blank? http://themovingarchitects.org/
Hey muntzdesigns,
Please upgrade your version of Salient to the current release (8.5.6) to get the fix for this: http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html
Cheers

Hey hiGwindor,
That would require modding to the footer.php file as of now – you could move the file into a child theme in order to keep the modification present after future updates as well
Thanks
Hi, have just extended support but its still not recognising my purchase code so I cant leave a question?
Hey dsamwell, have if you’re still facing that issue have you tried to use a different email address to force the new key to be used?
Hey, guys. I love all of the recent updates to Salient! It’s such a dominant theme. I wanted to add a request for a possible future update. The request is for a “Parallax Item Holder” so text, image, button, etc. can be parallaxed at different rates to add a fluid floating effect. Anyway, I love the theme! Keep up the fantastic work!
Hey Mudutu,
Thanks for the request!
Cheers
Is there a way to include product variations in the search results not just the main products?
Also a sidebar appears on the search results page how do I remove/edit this? Thank you
Hey MarcGarner,
1. This would require modding to the search.php file as of now
2. add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
.search-results .span_9 {
width: 100%;
margin-right: 0;
}
.search-results .span_2 {
display: none;
}
Cheers
Thanks, This CSS seems to have removed the sidebar but the content that was in the sidebar is now just being displayed below the search results.
Showing “latest” and “related” products
I have found this to be the solution:
<#woocommerce_products-12.widget.woocommerce.widget_products { display: none !important; }>
<#woocommerce_products-11.widget.woocommerce.widget_products { display: none !important; }>
Thank you for all your help, great them and exceptional support.
You’re welcome MarcGarner, glad to hear you’ve sorted it 
Hi, We are very interested in purchasing your theme. We have a quick question re. the “Morphing Outline” feature. Do you have additional shapes too (hexagons/triangles etc.)? Thanks
Hey channelgraphic, as of now the morphing outline can only handle from circle to square
Hi there! Would I be able to do ecommerce with this template?? Thanks for your time and support
Hey rasheedny! Salient supports WooCommerce out of the box
https://woocommerce.com/
how do I switch off top header in smartphone view
Hey gustav939,
add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
html #header-outer, html #header-space {
display: none!important;
}
}
Cheers
This deletes the menu section and not the top header where I inserted the address: http://therapyinaction.co.za/dev/
never-mind, I fixed it with; #header-secondary-outer
Also, why does the header imge not scale properly on mobile devices: http://therapyinaction.co.za/dev/about-us/ ??
Hey gustav939, are you trying to make the page header image smaller on mobile devices? If so, add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
#page-header-bg[data-parallax="1"]:not(.out-of-sight) {
height: 175px!important;
}
#page-header-bg .row { top: 0!important; }
}
You dont understand. The header image DOES NOT SCALE ON MOBILE DEVICES!!!. I.e. its not responsive and you said your theme is 100% responsive! Look here and see if the top image scales correctly: http://therapyinaction.co.za/dev/about-us/ – it does not! It cuts off some of the people on left and right of image. This is not responsive!!
Hey gustav939, the page header height does indeed reduce on mobile devices, with your settings it’s shrinking from 680px on desktop to 272px on mobile – the snippet I provided was to reduce it a little further to avoid the image from clipping at all. It appears the snippet is currently not active on your URL though – did you enter it into the css box?
I have installed it, and yes it displays correctly on a tablet and smartphone but not on a laptop size. And why do I need to insert css code on a template that you claim to be 100% responsive?
Hey gustav939, the page header uses the supplied image as a background image – it’s not designed to ensure 0 clipping as shown throughout the demos. If you’re trying to use an image that you need to show without clipping at all times, that’s possible in many other ways such as regular WPBakery full width section rows using % values for the top/bottom padding or by using the Nectar Slider element set to “flexible height” or by using a WPBakery image element in a full width content row. If you need assistance setting any of those up, please open a ticket in regards https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Is it possible too loop the Linea icons?
Hey Mathiasarlund, unfortunately as of now this would require a modification to the theme itself – however we’ve noted the idea for the wishlist
Cheers
Hello,
I have been using your theme for more than 4 years now and i’m still not able to translate it correctly with loco translate. Do you have a reliable documentation for this?
This one is not up to date anymore : https://themenectar.ticksy.com/article/5912/I’ve done like you’ve said in previous comments: “In Loco Translate > Themes > Salient > Advanced you can set the path to the .pot file. For the Template file field use “lang/nectar_salient_strings.pot” – you can then generate a new .po based on the translations you do”
+ everything is green in file info.
But translation doesn’t appear.
I feel like the process changes with every new version. Your theme is absolutely amazing, this is the only issue i’ve been struggling with for years now.
Thank you for your help! Best,
Hey Arkanite,
Are there specific strings you’re unable to translate or are none of your translations taking when using loco translate? There’s no special instructions needed for locotranslate other than the one point you mentioned of ensuring the nectar_salient_strings.pot is used
Cheers
None of them work unfortunately :s I have the list of strings translated in Loco but changes don’t appear on front-end.
But i have a child theme and it looks like it is misconfigured i got the message: “Warning: Child theme declares the same Text Domain as the parent theme”
Is there a specific action to take when using a child theme?
Thank you very much!
Hey Arkanite, could you kindly allow me to see what you have in your child theme functions.php so I can assist?
Okay i’ve created a ticket on Themenectar support for this, thank you!
Ticket number is : 1613097
When is the new release?? Youre killing me here 
Hey ladydekade, still wrapping it up – feel free to reach out for a copy of the beta

Hi I am having trouble to autoplay vimeo link from video player from the theme. is there any way I can make the video players to autoplay themselves?
Hey tranxpoter,
Please take a look at the Autoplay Restrictions section in the Vimeo docs to verify that you’re not using a browser that doesn’t support it https://help.vimeo.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004485728-Autoplaying-and-looping-embedded-videos

The tabs are not responsive, see issue here when resizing the window on desktop: http://luca.gps-buddy.com/branches/
@media only screen and (max-width: 1300px) and (min-width: 1000px) { body .tabbed[data-style=”vertical”] .wpb_tabs_nav { width: 30%; } body .tabbed[data-style=”vertical”] >div { width: 70%; } }
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) { body .tabbed > ul { float: none!important; display: inline-block; } }
I applied the latest code, but now on mobile it doesn’t work well, neither on tablet.
On mobile, the tab section should be on top, the content below the tabs. On tablet/resizing windows on desktop, it overlaps.
Hey lfranken,
add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel to fix this before the next release:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.tabbed[data-style="vertical"] .wpb_tabs_nav { width: 100%; text-align: center; margin-bottom: 35px!important; }
.tabbed[data-style="vertical"] .wpb_tabs_nav li {
display: inline-block;
margin: 5px!important;
font-size: 12px;
}
.tabbed[data-style="vertical"] >div { width: 100%; padding-left: 0; }
}
This works for tablet, but when resizing on desktop the tab title still falls out of the greyed tab area. Try resizing your browser on desktop and watch the title …installatietechniek.
Maybe it should switch to tablet earlier?
Hey lfranken,
add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel as well:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) and (max-width: 1300px) {
.tabbed[data-style="vertical"] .wpb_tabs_nav{width:25%;}
.tabbed[data-style="vertical"] >div{ width:65%; }
}
body .tabbed[data-style="vertical"] .wpb_tabs_nav li { white-space:normal; }
Cheers
Hello, I’ve recently purchased Salient and I’m facing an odd bug on my administration Panel.
When I go to Typography, I am unable to change the font family, The dropdown menu is missing.
I’ve attached a print screen here: http://prntscr.com/jue44s
Thanks.
Hey shin0biPT,
Can you quickly verify that no third party plugins you may have active could be causing the issue? If none are, 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
Thanks
Hello,
Thanks, I had installed a few recommended plugins before.
I had my page on Maintenance, using the plugin: CMP – Coming Soon & Maintenance Plugin by NiteoThemes.
I deactivated one by one and that plugin was the culprit.
Thanks for the input
Problem solved.
Glad to hear shin0biPT 
Hey Guys. We just launched a site, and when we were testing it in IE 11, moste of the images is just not showing up. And some of the text too. Salient support all the way down to IE 10, so i dont get why this happen. the URL is http://e-fly.dk
Hey helle_aidgency,
I’m seeing a script error reporting in the browser console related to a plugin you have active “woo-variation-swatches” can you try to temporarily disable that to see if that’s the source of the problem?
Cheers
We had a developer on the case, he got that too. We switched some code in some of the .js files and that seemed to work. Thank you.
Glad to hear helle_aidgency 
Hey guys, i have a small idiot question. Can i do a gallery with 1 image and when click on this image opens a lightbox with 2-5-30-50 gallery images? Didnt see this on http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/galleries/
One more question, where i can find this strings to change and translate. https://i.imgur.com/E7fFGLJ.jpg
Hey esqu1red,
1. Unfortunately there’s no option for that as of now, the lightbox gallery is tied to the images added on the page in the gallery – each image can’t contain a separate gallery of different images currently without custom modding
2. Those are added directly by the magnific plugin so for now you’d need to edit the js/magnific.js file at the section:
tPrev: 'Previous (Left arrow key)', tNext: 'Next (Right arrow key)', tCounter: '%curr% of %total%'
- i’ve noted to add a workaround to get those strings into the .po
Cheers
How can i add these strings to .po?
Hey esqu1red, they can’t be added from the JS file – it needs to be done in PHP so it will require adding them through that and then making that available to the script file to reference
Hi, I’ve noticed that body text renders differently to bullet text. Body seems heavier, and the only thing I can think of that might be causing it is font-smoothing. Is this something you’re aware of? How do I get the body text to render with the same weight as bullet text?
Hey alexfregon,
I just tried to test this on my end but so far have been unable to replicate it: https://imgur.com/a/93i8voz
Could you kindly share your URL so I can check out your typography settings and also let me know what browser you’re seeing it on?
Thanks
Hi, have a look at https://www.tidalcreative.com.au and scroll to the ‘What we do’ section.
Here’s a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/3eIHRUY
Thanks
Thanks alexfregon,
Unfortunately I still haven’t been able to see that occur on my end to troubleshoot: https://imgur.com/a/ZuOfK9n Can you let me know the browser/OS you’re on?
