Hi Autors!

I’m trying to change ‘Next project’ (on single portfolio page) into ‘Volgend project’ (dutch for next project) bij copying a part (Portfolio single page controls) of the functions.php file into my child-theme functions.php file and replace ‘next’ by ‘volgend’, but then our site goes down.

I also tried to translate this with the loco translate plugin, but this doesn’t work either. Maybe because we’re working with sub-domains and different themes.

Then I’d also like to change ‘View Larger’ into ‘Vergroot’ in the portfolio gallery. Can I do this in a php file? And which one?

I know my support is ended, but maybe you can still help me? Thanks in advance!

Best regards, Eefke digibastards.nl

Sorry, I made a mistake…

2. I’d like to change view larger in the image gallery and not in the portfolio gallery. In which file can I find that view larger string?

Hey Queen_Eef,

1. 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

2. For the image gallery, you’d need to edit nectar/nectar-vc-addons/vc_templates/vc-gallery.php

Cheers

Hi….

1. Sorry my support is expired so I can’t.

2. I copied the file and the folders, but nothing changes. I really don’t get it. It would be great if you could take a look http://speeltuin.digibastards.nl/portfolio/alleen-vc/ but I also understand if you don’t because of the expired support…

Thanks!

Feature request / idea: it would be really nice if we could mix & match between having more that 1 footer column and also center the copyright area (as well has the social icons in the nice style with the circles round them). It would also be good to be able to include email/phone icons in the footer too :)

Hey paulfp, thanks for the request! :)

Hi! We really like your theme but we feel that VC is at the end of the game, are you evaluating the port to another page builder?

Hey salvatom,

We are not planning to move to another page builder just yet – but it’s possible we will add an additional option in the future :)

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar! Any change to have the frontend builder on Salient?

Hey salvatom, yes – that’s in the process of being integrated :)

Hey again, Around a month ago I asked when the next update will be released, and you said “a couple of weeks”. Now I see it’s a little bit delayed, but since I paused my work I have to ask if you can re-estimate the release date.

Thanks again :)

Hey tovbar,

We don’t have a new demo page online just yet – but I can send you the changelog if you reach out :)

Cheers

I need some visual content, so I’ll try to hold my breath until the release. Thanks! :)

Sounds good tovbar :)

Hello ThemeNectar,

We are using the recent portfolio slider on a client homepage, can you give me any advise on how to get it to auto rotate / scroll?

We need the carousel to rotate without the need to clicking, and ideally pause on hover also.

Many thanks,

B

Hey icuk,

Unfortunately this would not be possible as of now without some custom javascript development, but i’ve noted the idea for the wishlist

Cheers

My load time is SLLLOWWWW. And this speed test indicates some of the reasons. I don’t the results are so poor, is there anything I can do to help myself out here? Thanks

Hey silverlithomes,

It looks like you have not yet minified the css/js assets and your caching could be improved: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/performance-optimization-guide/

Bonjour, Je suis interessée par votre theme mais j’ai quelques questions. 1/ le page builder de Saillant (salient visual composer) est en front end ou en back end? 2/ y a t il un sticky menu? 3/ je n’ai pas bien compris ce que comprend le prix de la license 60$. C’est pour un site avec les mises à jour en durée illimité . Merci par avance pour votre aide Cdt

Hey kaktus2,

1. Currently it’s backend

2. The top navigation bar can be sticky or static at the top, and there’s a secondary page submenu element within the page builder which can also be sticky. See example here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate/about/

3. You can use the theme on one domain and you have access to all future updates to the theme for that single price

Cheers

Hi, is there a simple way to remove the number and percent sign from the progress bars? I don’t want anything to show above the bar at all.

Thanks!

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


.nectar-progress-bar span strong { display: none; }

Cheers

Hi theme nectar, What parameters do I change to get my portfolio thumbnails to behave like the ones on this site http://bigbrickproductions.com They show text before they are on-hovered and then when hovered on different text against a black background with what appears to be a homemade button/icon. Thanks

Hey devotionrecording,

That user did custom development to one of the project styles, there’s none that are quite like that by default. It looks like the base style they started with was “Meta overlaid w/ zoom effect on hover alt”

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar – Hope you’re well.

1. While searching for a solution in the comments section, I noticed another person is having an issue with a ’bug’ with sub-categories when they have the same name (comment by mircofragomena who opened a ticket #1617376).

When there are two different categories (e.g. Argentina, Brazil) AND they have sub-categories with the same name (e.g. Hotels, Experiences), those particular posts get mixed up and don’t appear on the right page, don’t appear at all, or the sub-category itself doesn’t appear in the filterable menu (when editing a post in the backend).

I was wondering if you were able to fix this or if it will be fixed in the next update?

2. Is it possible to remove the date and author of a post in it’s thumbnail for a specific blog element on a page (i.e. if there are two blog elements on a page, remove the date and author of every post that appears in blog element #1, but have the date and author appear on the thumbnail of the posts in blog element #2).

I’ve used .meta-category, .meta-author, .meta-comment-count, .avatar-post-info { display: none!important; } to remove these items in a single post, but that doesn’t affect the thumbnails of the posts in the row of specific blog element on the page builder.

For more context, I created a category for the specific posts I want to hide the date and author in post thumbnails in a certain blog element. Not sure if that simplifies things.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Hey Wpro9,

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


body.home .post-area.masonry.meta_overlaid article.masonry-blog-item.wide_tall .post-meta .date,
body.home .masonry.meta_overlaid article.post .post-header .meta-author { display: none; }

Cheers

Thank you very much! Super helpful :)

You’re very welcome :)

One of the best themes i ve ever purchased BUT i noticed a huge FAIL here. Header video has only one slot if you want to have the cool Roll box effect. You should mention that. I have an unhappy customer because of what he saw in your demo guys. The only solution is to “stitch” 3 videos and edit captions. NOT HAPPY.

Hey pantnick, I’m really sorry to hear that. The agency demo video is indeed one video: http://43eb74ada891f0f09679-c04bb4ac5bb47a13c85d2a60607693e6.r18.cf2.rackcdn.com/slomosf.webm – the HTML video element does not offer such a feature at its core to rotate between videos. We just used a stock video that is a few different shots to capture to energetic style of an agency. It was a trend going on near the time we made the demo.

Hey! :)))

hope its all well!

for the Meta from bottom on hover + entire thumb link option in the portfolio on mobile devices:

1 I’d like to change the projects per page

2 decrease the font size of the meta

3 change the position of the meta to the bottom of the thumbnail

please? :))

Best

Xx

Nadia

Thanks Nadia!

It’s not possible to change the pagination (projects per page) only on a specific device, but the other two items can be handled with css. Add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:


@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
body .portfolio-items .work-item.style-4 .bottom-meta,
body .portfolio-items .work-info {
    position: relative;
}
.portfolio-items .work-info { padding:0; }

.portfolio-items .work-item.style-4 .bottom-meta h3 { 
  font-size: 18px!important;
}
}

Cheers

hey, thx for your quick response :)) unfortunately this does not work… it adds some weird spacing problems to the pictures themselves + doesn’t influence the text size no matter what value I put? :(

https://vagabondcrystals.com

Hey nadiavonscotti,

It looks like you’re using the “Meta on hover + entire thumb link” style on your home page rather than the “Meta from bottom on hover”, which was what the snippet I provided was targeting

Change the snippet to this:


@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
body .portfolio-items .work-info { top: auto;  bottom: 20px; height: auto; } 
body .portfolio-items .work-info  h3 { font-size: 14px!important; }
}

Not sure when it started, but I’m having issues with full width background rows with fixed parallax background speed. The rows appear as white space on Chrome, but seem to be working on Firefox and Safari. This was never an issue before, and I haven’t made any changes since it was working before (though I have updated the theme in hopes it would fix the problem). You can see this happening on the following pages:

http://im.dakotabrinkert.com/power-digital-marketing/ (Green Hope section) http://im.dakotabrinkert.com/photography/ (After/Before Section)

Thanks for all of the help!

Hey TheRooster,

add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel to fix it for now :)


.full-width-section.parallax_section .row-bg-wrap, .full-width-content.parallax_section .row-bg-wrap, .wpb_row.parallax_section .row-bg-wrap, .wpb_row .row-bg-wrap .inner-wrap {
    transform: translateZ(0);
}

Cheers

Worked! Thanks!

You’re welcome TheRooster :)

i cant use any plugin to add tabs for products. How can i do this on Salient.

Hey tacoro, can you provide the plugin you’re trying to use to accomplish that so I can take a look?

Thanks

OK, as i mention i try a lot. Here is three of them:

yikes easy custom woocommerce product tabs

Woocommerce Custom Tabs

Hey tacoro, I just tested yikes easy custom woocommerce product tabs with the theme and can successfully show a custom tab on a product page. Are you adding the tab into the actual product page? The custom tabs need to be assigned to individual products, the overall custom tab template in the plugin settings are only to create reusable tabs which can then be assigned per product

How Can I change the theme language?

Hey hiGwindor, please see the docs in regards: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/translations/

Thanks. :) New Problem the article does not appear in the middle section. the unseen place https://imgur.com/a/Tji6Vj4

Hey hiGwindor,

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

Hey there!

Gotta start of with saying that it’s my first time working with Salient but so far I love it. Currently working on a clients website and came across the following problem:

The language specific letters don’t work. You can hardy tell in Chrome but in Safari it is pretty obvious that there is a problem.

I already enabled “Load Ext. Characters in Default Font” and did the same for the “Visual Composer” but it doesn’t seem to have any effect on the frontend. I opened a private support ticket a couple of months ago and your support crew told me to come here to get in touch with you directly.

Looking forward to hear from you,

Thanks, Philipp

Hey Philipp,

I’ll take a look at the ticket in regards :)

Thank you very much, appreciate it!

You’re welcome juggernout247 :)

Hi,

Is it possible to keep open the drop-down menu in mobile? Like as- http://prntscr.com/jz4tva

Please inform me how to I can do it.

Thanks, Mofi

Thanks ThemePackNet,

In the Salient options panel > header navigation > off canvas navigation – you need to choose “Separate Dropdown Parent Link From Dropdown Toggle” for the option “Off Canvas Menu Dropdown Behavior”. If you don’t see that option, you just need to update your version of the theme

Cheers

Thanks,

I’m using the latest version 8.5.3.

Now it’s working for me. But I need to keep open in mobile like this- http://prntscr.com/jzsjtk

That means when a user clicks on the icon http://prntscr.com/jzsk68 they will see the submenu item is open like this- http://prntscr.com/jzsjtk but they can collapse if they want.

How to I can do it?

BR, Mofi

Hey ThemePackNet, the closest you can get to that without custom development is to show them all the time and remove the arrow all together.

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


.material #slide-out-widget-area[class*="slide-out-from-right"] .off-canvas-menu-container li ul, #slide-out-widget-area[data-dropdown-func="separate-dropdown-parent-link"] .off-canvas-menu-container li ul {
    max-height: none!important;
}
#slide-out-widget-area .ocm-dropdown-arrow i { display: none; }

Cheers

Is it possible to display the dropdown boxes on a product, going horizontally below the product image? Rather than in one long list going vertically to the right of the image.

Hey MarcGarner, that wouldn’t be possible without custom modding to the template as the title/desc and options are all in the same container

Ok not to worry thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

You’re welcome MarcGarner :)

we need uptade))

Hey Fodert, can you please provide more specifics as to what you’re referring to that needs updating?

Cheers

Hi there, I keep on getting the spinning ball when a customer gets to check out, can you help at all please?

Hi There, please can you advise urgently, thanks

Hey nat787878,

1. When checking out the browser console I can see the following error:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)
 /?wc-ajax=update_order_review:1 
POST https://businessjumpco.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php 403 (Forbidden)

That is most likely being caused be a security feature on your server setup: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wc-ajaxupdate_order_review-403-error/

2. Using Salient 8.5.6 and WooCommerce 3.4.3 I can’t see any of those outdated messages showing – 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
