Hi Nectar, I really love the Salient theme – great work! I’m just having this small issue: I’m using the single image element, and giving it a link (hoping the whole image will behave as a button), but when you look at the published page (https://www.askherb.info/bitters/) only a small part of the image behaves as a link (it’s the WishGarden logo in the upper left). The arrow cursor only changes to the “clicky finger” when you mouse over the lower-mid region of the graphic.. Tried using raw html element instead & hardcoding in the image’s dimensions but that didn’t work either. Just need the whole image to be clickable. Am I missing something? Thanks for looking.
Thanks a lot WishGarden!
This issue is stemming from the permanent transparent header option – in the legacy theme skins, a different method is used to calculate the permanent transparent coloring, which has been shown sometimes to interfere with layouts. If you switch to the latest theme skin “material” in the general settings tab of your theme options panel, this should be resolved. However if you’d like to stay with your current skin, we’ve implemented the material method of calculating the effect into the legacy skins for the current Salient beta. 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
Thanks very much! Switching to the Material skin definitely helped. However if you wouldn’t mind taking another peek (https://www.askherb.info/bitters/) the issue, although much improved, still persists. More of the WishGarden logo is clickable now than before, but still it seems the upper half of the logo is not clickable. BTW, on mobile it’s a non-issue, easy to tap… But on desktop, you’ll see what I mean.
Many thanks 
Hey WishGarden!
The header nav bar still is a solid block (even though it’s invisible), so your element that you wish to be clickable needs just a little top padding to get it out of the way of the header nav. Edit the parent row that holds the wishgarden logo/first content and set the top padding to “2%”
Cheers
Thanks, much appreciated! Implemented the 2% padding you recommended, which is an acceptable workaround – although I wonder if it might also be useful in a future update to have an option to just have no header at all.
One final header-related issue I’m trying to get around: if you see the page https://www.askherb.info/usage-strategies/ it’s a fullscreen row page (really like the cool functionality) but I’m trying to have no header (or just a transparent header) here as well, and if you try scrolling down the page, and then back up the page, a white header appears when scrolling back up. Even though I’ve checked the options both globally, and at the page level, to force transparent header. Something else seems to be triggering the header to go visible when scrolling up on a fullscreen row page. Any ideas for a workaround?
Hey WishGarden,
You can disable the header by using the page template “No Header” available in every edit page screen. I also can’t seem to get the header on your URL to show as non transparent after scrolling down/up – can you verify that it doesn’t only occur when you’re logged into the admin dashboard?
Cheers
Thanks so much – didn’t think to look in the page templates! And re: the unwanted white header, you are correct – it does seem to only be happening when logged in as admin. Much oblige for the advice!!
+ best wishes
Glad I could help WishGarden
Very small problem with the Firefox for the minimal theme. The circle arrow icon is too high from the text https://imgur.com/a/JVqtNtW I know this is small but would be good to fix.
Hey toolbox101! So far I haven’t been able to see that on my end – can you also replicate that on the element here located at the bottom of this page? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate-2/#explainer
Cheers
I actually sent you the screenshot from that same demo. It is only like that on Firefox.
Thanks for clarifying toolbox101, it must be specific to a version or OS – could you also let me know which of those you’re on?
Cheers
Looks like there is a bug in the CSS/JS for menu buttons on hover if you use anything other than the default 10px menu item spacing.
If you adjust to a value like 20px, the button reverts to the default margin of 10px on hover, even though the normal margin is as set to 20px in the spacing. Worth reviewing!
Hey jonathanssnow, thanks for letting me know.
I believe I just tracked down the issue – can you confirm you’re using the bordered button rather than the solid BG color one?
Cheers
Can confirm, the issue is with any of the bordered menu buttons reverting to default margin on hover!
Thanks for letting me know jonathanssnow
Is the theme updated to support wordpress 4.9.7?
Hey lenock, yes – there’s no known issues with 4.9.7 and Salient
Cheers
Hey hey, hope your having a good one. Quesiton… how can I hide the SKU and Category info that appears on the Product page from ecommerce? And how can I hide the “Additional information” that appears on the product page? Thanks for your time and support
Hey rasheedny,
add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
.woocommerce div.product_meta, .woocommerce div.product .woocommerce-tabs ul.tabs li.additional_information_tab,
.woocommerce div.product .woocommerce-tabs .full-width-content[data-tab-style="fullwidth"] ul.tabs li.additional_information_tab { display: none!important; }
Cheers
Hi there! Hope your enjoying your weekend. I have place this code but still showing up, you can view here: https://goo.gl/XyHfHm
Hey rasheedny!
Ensure that when you pasted the snippet in no “pre” tags got pasted in with it, if you see any remove those. For example: https://imgur.com/a/AsW8uiC

Hey marcuspera,
Please share the actual URL in regards so I can take a look to assist
Thanks
Hi,
Where can I modify the button text(https://imgur.com/a/wedjDdv)? TQ
Hey dcmarcus,
You can use the included .pot file to generate a .po file to alter that and any other theme string. However, if you’re just looking for the file, it’s nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php
Cheers
Wow, thanks!
You’re welcome dcmarcus
Is there a showcase of websites made using Salient?
Hey MarcGarner, we don’t currently keep one – though there are some user made sites i’ve seen in the past that do
Cheers
Hi there, Visual Composer is no longer updating content. This is happening whether I publish a post or just save the draft. If I delete elements or re-arrange them in page builder, it just reverts back to a previous state. I’m using a child theme with the latest version of Salient and WPBakery Page Builder.
It appeared it was a caching issue with server. Issued solved.
Glad to hear RollingSpoke
I found the i cannot see the content which i made by visual composer. The content are exists as i can see the code but not by composer.
Visual composer not function as well when create new page. May I know what is the latest version of VC now?
Solved after update to latest theme. Thanks
Hey i2hongkong, glad to hear it’s sorted for you
Hi guys, in the social media options, I couldn’t get the phone and email links to work. I entered my phone number (digits only) and my email address but I get the 404 page. Do I need to add something to get it to work? Thanks!
for clarification, this happens on the offcanvas menu when pushing the phone and mail icons
Hey catchmikey,
You can use “mailto:” and “tel:” in your links if you want them to trigger actions e.g.
mailto:email@lorem.com tel:xxx-xxx-xxx
Cheers
I have a few questions. i recently moved to a new host provider and lost all my data in the process. i re-downloaded the theme but the codes you had provided overtime were lost.
it all has to do with the single posts on pages like this within my sitehttps://theshatteredworld.com/comic/the-creed/
How can i keep the background from repeating?
Is there a pinch and zoom code for mobile devices?
the navigation bar cuts off the top of my images and i am not sure why when i set it to transparent. but if you scroll down and then back up, the nav bar becomes opaque.
How can i hide the ‘next post’ images that show up at the bottom?
Looks like i was able to recover some of what i was missing! I can take it from here! Thanks again for the theme!
Hey burmuss,
Glad to hear you’ve sorted it
Is there a function to disable the add to cart hovers on the archive pages only? Hiding with CSS isn’t an option for use, so need to figure out how to completely stop it from loading.
Trying this snippet in the child functions.php did not work: function remove_add_to_cart_buttons() { if( is_product_category() ) { remove_action( ‘woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item’, ‘woocommerce_template_loop_add_to_cart’ ); } } add_action( ‘woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item’, ‘remove_add_to_cart_buttons’, 1 );
Hey Gallitin,
As of now this would require a modification to functions.php in the function relative to the the product thumbnail style you’re using – however we’ve noted to make it able to be overriden in a child theme in the next release
Cheers
Hi, I’m looking to add a full width image carousel that would simple show company logos (no links). When hovered on they would scroll *horizontally (ideally in either direction left or right based on where the on hover is happening). The carousel would loop the images so it never stops. The carousel section would be only 100-150px tall. Is there an element in Salient that will allow me to create this idea? Thanks
Hey devotionrecording,
Unfortunately there’s no hover based carousel like that – the closest you could get would be to use the carousel element set to “Owl carousel” for the script with your desired columns. You could then place that inside of a row set to “full width content” and add your logos as “single image” elements in each column within the carousel
Cheers

Hi! Awesome theme… still loving it!
Question about SSL and HTTPS: I’m getting mixed content errors when trying to use HTTPS because there are some images being loaded from ThemeNectar that are insecure.
“nectar-slider.js?ver=8.5.5:965 Mixed Content: The page at ‘https://mydomainexample.ca/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image ‘http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/wp_8-content/uploads/2014/01/page-builder.png'. This content should also be served over HTTPS. _loadImage @ nectar-slider.js?ver=8.5.5:965”
Any help on this would be great! Thanks!
Ryan
Hey ryan_seale, could you kindly share your actual URL in regards so I can take a look? Also have you verified that in the slides you have that that’s not one of the images referenced from the dummy data content?
Hi guys,
On the parallax fancy box, what’s the way to remove the box-shadow when you hover over it? I am trying to use it as an entirely transparent box with an image inside it, so I’ve removed all the backgrounds and overlays, but I’d also like to remove all the box-shadow effects, so then the image just moves around a bit with the mouse and no other effects.
Hey SeanAUS120,
add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
.nectar-fancy-box[data-style="parallax_hover"]:hover .parallaxImg-shadow { display: none; }
Cheers

Hey silverlithomes,

Hey rasheedny,
It looks like you have your variable product configured incorrectly – please check out this tutorial in regards to follow the needed steps.
Essentially, you need to select “variable product” in the product data dropdown and then ensure that your attributes have the checkbox selected for “used for variations”. https://imgur.com/a/pucXkrD
