I am thinking about purchasing this template, but beforehand I have some questions: Is it possible to create a review with pro and cons, different rating points and a overall evaluation including a summary? This would be very important for me, as I write reviews on a regular base.

And is it possible to show Thumbnail pictures of my instagram feed in the footer?

Thank you in advance for your answer and have a nice day!

Hey tankdeckelverschluss,

Unfortunately these two items would require the use of a plugin right now

Hey guys how far away is the next update?

Hey Coastdesign,

1. We’re still beta testing right now – there’s a lot of changes coming so we want to make sure they’re tested throughly

2. Developer mode is a tag that gets shown to let you know you have WP_DEBUG set to true in your wp-config.php file

1. Would you be able to give us an idea of time? 2. I still do not understand what this means – what it does… I guess I will Google it…

Hey Coastdesign, it’s still planned for the middle of this month – 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

There are few font awesome icons missing on search library, is there any way we can use the font awesome values directly or it can be included on theme?

for example or newer brand icons like : fa-amazon

Hey sniro,

What version of the theme are you using and are you referring to the icon element within the page builder? https://imgur.com/a/lIBZIlP

Cheers

We are using Salient theme Version: 8.5.6 but cannot see icons like Magento, PHP which are there on Font Awesome. Example font https://fontawesome.com/icons/magento?style=brands or https://fontawesome.com/icons/php?style=brands

Hey sniro, Salient and WPBakery page builder are using 4.7 of font awesome – they completely changed the markup for icons in 5.0 and updating would break all user sites that are current making use of 4.7 icons. If you want to update on your own site, you’d need to use the javascript shim they’re offering: https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/setup/upgrading-from-version-4

Guys im having an issue with the link format of the post, for some reason the layout seems to be messed up, the title doesnt display, and i cant seem to get a featured image to show up in the layout.

I seriously dont understand how you dont have the same layout as the normal blog for the link post type and just have a link icon instead or readmore

Hey rafferjr, the link format in Salient is designed to turn an entire post within the post grid into a link as shown in the various demos:

http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/blog-masonry-fullwidth/ http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate/news/

Only the post content box will get output as it allows for more text i.e. more flexibility if you want to write a short blurb about the link instead of only using the post title. If you’d like to modify that, you’d need to edit the includes/post-templates/entry-link.php file in regards.

Hello. How can I remove the date from my masonry blog page? http://patricekcokley.com/blog/

Hey pkc827,

As of now that would require a mod to the includes/post-templates/entry.php file at this section:

if($using_masonry == true && $masonry_type == 'classic_enhanced') {
     echo get_the_date(); 
     $h_num = '3';
} 

Cheers

Thanks!

You’re welcome :)

Hello,

I was considering purchasing your theme but was needing to accomplish a split-scrolling type effect on my site such as this:

http://demo.elated-themes.com/borderland4/

Can you tell me the best way to accomplish this using your theme?

I did notice that the following plugin for WPBakery would accomplish this:

https://codecanyon.net/item/kaswara-modern-visual-composer-addons/19341477?_ga=2.160721592.462126776.1530658131-842405431.1527258566

Just not sure about compatibility with your theme, since I understand you are using a modified version of WPBakery.

Please advise, Thanks!

Hey losgetlost1,

I haven’t personally tested that plugin before, but if there’s any issues kindly just let me know so I can take a look

Cheers

Hello there!

When using a page header image on a portfolio item, I find my image/page load time very slow and just shows the black background colour. My image size is around 1600px wide and around 200-300kb. Is there any way to speed this up?

http://www.embeephotography.co.uk/portfolio/falcon-manor-wedding-photography/

Thanks, Matt

Hey Matt,

We’ve actually reworked the page header before it gets fully loaded in the beta to be faster. 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

Big THANKS salient!

Hey tohapiliang,

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

Hello again,

Is there an option to align the tab text to fırther left? It’s already aligned left actually but not exactly what I want. There is Custom Heading text right on top of the tab section and the first tab text does not look aligned with the top heading text. It is acceptable on big windows but on mobile it doesn’t look nice.

Hi Theme Nectar, just fixed this, thanks :)

Glad to hear LokalTours :)

Does the shopping cart number in the menu not show for everyone else on mobile? Ie, you have “1” item in your cart, doesn’t show the number on mobile, but does on PC. I assume its a bug. Anyone have a fix?

Hey rednosemonkey,

Older theme skins don’t show that, but the latest (material) does. Simply switch to it in the Salient options panel > general settings tab to get that functionality

Cheers

Hey guys, We have updated to the latest version of WooCommerce and of course Salient theme. However our cart page is a mess because of very out of date files. Just wondering what the story is here?

salient/woocommerce/cart/cart-shipping.php version 2.3.0 is out of date. The core version is 3.2.0, salient/woocommerce/cart/cart-totals.php, salient/woocommerce/cart/cart.php version 2.3.8 is out of date. The core version is 3.4.0, salient/woocommerce/cart/shipping-calculator.php version 2.0.8 is out of date. The core version is 3.4.0,

Using Salient v8.5.6

Cheers Dave

Hey Dave,

The cart directory was removed a few releases ago and if it lingered around in your setup post updating, it would indeed cause issues. You can safely remove or rename it (salient/woocommerce/cart) to clear the issue

Cheers

That’s exactly what the problem was! I must over overwritten the files rather than remove the directory and replace when i upgraded the theme… so retained the Cart templates. Thanks again for the assistance!

You’re welcome rossboom22 :)

Hi TN,

When activating full screen rows, the #links dont seem to work any longer.

I.e. when I have a row which is labeled work, I usually am able to direct visitors to that row by linking to #work.

But when I enable full screen rows, this linking function appears to be no longer working.

Is there any chance to still link to certain rows by using either the #-links of some other form of links?

Looking forward to your reply!

Hey hookieoalo,

Can you verify that you have the option on for “Add Row Anchors to URL” enabled in your “Page full screen rows” metabox?

Cheers

I did now, and everything works fine again. Thank you so much!

You’re welcome hookieoalo :)

​Hello, the scrolling in iPad and mobile is very “sticky” https://goo.gl/wJy5GE.

How can it be fixed to be smooth in tablets and mobile phones also?​

Hey tsoini3,

1. There’s an option in the “Page full screen rows” metabox on your edit page screen to “Disable On Mobile” – that would be the only way to bring the mobile scrolling back to the default functionality.

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


.using-mobile-browser .nectar-fancy-ul[data-animation="true"] ul li { opacity:1; left: 0; }

Cheers

Thank you very much :)))

You’re welcome tsoini3 :)

Hey man, any updates coming in the next weeks? Cheers

Hey rockzi, yes – we’re wrapping up a major release at the moment and there will be a small update before then just to provide the latest WPBakery page builder

Beautiful theme , is this support mobile sidebar panel menu? and Ajax search? by Default Thanks

Thanks starconfig,

1. There’s an off canvas menu available on desktop or just mobile. You can see it in action in the various demos

2. Ajax search is available with certain header layouts

Cheers

Hi Guys – love the salient theme! This has been mentioned, but could I get a current update on what requirements Salient (WP) and its associated plugins etc need to be to work with PHP 7? I need to start upgrading sites. Also, I’m using the Child Theme. Do I leave that alone or do I need to update that also? Cheers!

Hey creativeunited, please see my response to your previous comment in regards

Cheers

Thank you!

You’re welcome creativeunited :)

Hi Guys – love the salient theme! This has been mentioned, but could I get a current update on what requirements do Salient (WP) and its associates plugins etc need to to be to work with PHP 7? I need to start upgrading sites. Cheers!

Hey creativeunited,

In order to use PHP 7 you’ll need to be on Salient at least v 8.5.5 of the theme and 5.4.7 of the Salient WPBakery page builder

Cheers

Thank you!

You’re welcome creativeunited :)

Tahir,

I turned off page transitions and the mobile hamburger link on the iPhone and iPad do not work. Also the standard contact Form 7 does not work on the same mobile devices. Something is not right. I should be able to keep the header transparency in mobile mode and the hamburger and forms work well. I have never seen this before. Can you please check my site.

I have been a loyal user of your template for many years and never have I seen this.

You’re not addressing the problem. All you’re doing is looking at the easy and obvious. I need your help!!! Study my website first. The side mobile canvas at 1000px kicks in and works fine on a desktop all the way down to 335px screen width. BUT when I view the site on a smartphone in portrait or landscape the hamburger link does NOT work. I do have menu links, but I am hiding them from the main top horizontal navigation. 2nd Problem: The form fields do not work on both forms. This is a one page landing page. My anchor links are built in the top banner. Please study the problem!! I need your help.

I appreciate your expertise and help. I’m a long time user.

Hey Erik, from the URL you shared here all I was able to see was the splash page with nothing else other than your logo – I’ve located the ticket you opened on the support forum in order to see the main home page and take a closer look at the issue. Kindly check back there in regards

Is it possible to hide certain widgets in the side widget area, when viewing on a mobile?

Also is there a way to reduce the width of the “Account” login/register field. Without affecting the width of the “Account” area once customers are logged in. Atm the login field is stretched.

Thank you.

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


@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 1px) {
#slide-out-widget-area .widget_nav_menu {
   display: none;
}
}

Cheers

Works great, thanks. Fantastic support as always, keep up the good work.

You’re welcome MarcGarner :)

Hi guys, first thanks for this awesome theme.. Your support team member Tahir asked me to post a comment here. :)

I used boxed layout with a background image. When checking on desktop all mobile devices sizes are fine! But on a real mobile the background image is not working on SAFARI and CHROME! Why is that? salmamusik.de

Greetings from Germany Kathy

Hey Kathy, I’ll take a look shortly :)
