Hello

Is it possible to set a portfolio item to an anchor point on a specific portfolio page without removing it from Next and Previous project list at the footer of every other portfolio page?

I would like to link Archive project to the start of the content as shown here: http://2017.joneley.com/portfolio/archive/#ArchiveTop I've used External Project URL to achieve on the Archive portfolio item but this removes the Archive project from the portfolio of Next & Previous so is hidden from view when you reach the last project which at the moment is Party For The People.

Thanks in advance.

Hey stsw,

To accomplish that you would need to remove this from the functions.php file:

add_filter( 'get_previous_post_where', 'so16495117_mod_adjacent_bis' );
add_filter( 'get_next_post_where', 'so16495117_mod_adjacent_bis' );

Cheers

Thank you :)

You’re welcome stsw :)

nectar-slide-in-cart causes an empty H2, see the code below. When checking my SEO I have noticed this is causing an empty H2 which is not good for SEO reasons.

What is this H2, and can I make sure it is either filled in or not there at all?

Hey dzineee,

That’ll be fixed in the upcoming release, for now simply alter this line in the header.php file:

the_widget( 'WC_Widget_Cart', 'title= ' );
to be:
the_widget( 'WC_Widget_Cart' );

Cheers

Just to be clear. It becomes this (on 2 places?) Or do I only update one line?

                // Check for WooCommerce 2.0 and display the cart widget
                if ( version_compare( WOOCOMMERCE_VERSION, "2.0.0" ) >= 0 ) {
                    the_widget( 'WC_Widget_Cart');
                } else {
                    the_widget( 'WooCommerce_Widget_Cart');
                }
            echo ''; 

Hey, only the one relating to “WC_Widget_Cart” will be used unless you’re on a very old version of WC

Cheers

Hi, Hi, please can I get a link for the latest copy of Salient Beta. I have sent a message directly to author, but hope to get a link asap, last time it took a couple weeks to get a link :-) Thanks

Hey rmgibbons01,

I just added your username to the queue – I’ll be sending out a new round within 24hrs

Cheers

Hello i’ve sent you an e-mail through the form about getting the beta as you suggested but never got a reply!

Hey taspan, sorry about that! I’ll be sending out a new round very shortly ( < 24hrs)

Thanks for your patience

Would love access to beta to gain a better understanding what’s upcoming as I’m looking to use this template on a few more sites.

Hey rproeis, I’ll send over a copy your way tomorrow :)

Hi again, is there a way to inverse the icon hover animation? I’m using icons from the Iconsmind library and the Icon Style is set to “Border w/Hover Animation”. I would prefer the hover state to be the normal state. Any ideas?

One other question if you don’t mind. Can I set my Header Background image to anchor from the left, so when viewed on smaller devices like phone/tablet it gives priority to the left side of that image and crops the right?

Hey devotionrecording :)

1. Change the snippet to:


.inner-wrap {
    max-width: 980px!important;
    margin: 0 auto;
}

2. Change your off canvas navigation area style to any of the other options in the Salient options panel > header navigation > off canvas navigation tab. The next update will add the possibility to use animated anchor links with the default style when using the material theme skin

3. You’d need to set the parent row to use the “equal height” option and then select “bottom” for the Column Content position

Cheers

Thanks – those worked great. One side effect/issue of pushing my right columns content to the bottom (using those instructions in #3) on my “About” row, looking on mobile and tablet view, it only reveals a portion of the bg image just big enough to see the text. I want the entire photo to show, but don’t want the row to be full height (which left a bunch of white space below when I tried it). ie. Can I set the right columns height to be the master control of the lefts height (even though the left column has more ‘content’ in it)? I would like that photo to align with priority from the top as well. Perhaps I shouldn’t be placing it as a background image? Is there a more suitable element for a photo with text over it?

2) There is some rogue white box/border floating behind the about me section peeking out on the right/bottom corner. Any idea what is causing that (only seen on desktop view)?

3) I’m getting about a 60px space between my contact heading and the contact form (on desktop view). I tried using a negative margin value on both the form or the text block it’s set within, but then that causes the form to float over the heading on tablet/mobile views. Any idea whats causing that 60px gap?

4) bonus question: can I set different line height values for each desktop/tablet/mobile? Specifically looking to tighten up the tablet/mobile line heights in my header title. Looks fine on desktop.

http://box5537.temp.domains/~hublocat/hls-home-3/ Thanks again! -Jim

Hey devotionrecording,

1. To achieve that, simply put a divider element in the column above the text with the desired minimum height to leave on a mobile device. Start off with a value of 500 and tweak as needed. However your text won’t stay at the bottom on mobile since equal height columns are currently disabled on mobile views, however the update coming within a few days will change that

2. Try adding this into the custom css box:

@media (min-width: 690px) {
body .full-width-content.vc_row-fluid .vc_col-sm-7 {
    width: 58.5%;
}
}

3. Please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so we can take a closer look at the setup https://themenectar.ticksy.com 4. You can use the option “Custom Responsive Headings” in the Salient options panel > typography > responsive settings tab in regards

Cheers

Noticed that with the “recent projects” element that when a portfolio item contains an embedded code, (vimeo/youtube), that if clicked a new tab is opened and user is taken to the src of the video as opposed to the old behavior of just the lightbox opening up on the page. Old link which worked contained this in the url: /wp-content/themes/salient/includes/portfolio-functions/video.php?post-id=38&iframe=true&width=854 but now that just goes away and the url is straight to the embedded videos source element. All plugins deactivated and this issue continues, using salient 8.5.6 and WP 4.9.7. Can you help?

Hey andrewtoohill,

Weirdly enough using the same settings locally I can’t get that to occur – could you kindly reach out via the contact form on my author page with your admin credentials so I can take a closer look at your setup? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar Cheers

I’ve reached out via your contact form.

Thanks andrewtoohill, I got back to you earlier today :)

Hey there, I sent a request for a demo a week ago. Any chance I could get my sticky fingers on the demo ^^

Hey fluidcreativestl, I just sent over a copy :)

Cheers

URGENT: Latest version of theme when uploading to ISP says

The file you uploaded, salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme-wordpress-theme.zip, contains a virus so the upload was canceled: YARA.grscripts_Spam_041.UNOFFICIAL FOUND

Fix this ASAP

Hey TruBrotha,

that sounds like a false positive – Salient is checked by Envato to ensure no viruses and it’s also been checked by virustotal: https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/d55d92f0d637a2a6e7bde7f694027ab0ec5e74f457372e1d2e24c3eaf4e2f9dc/detection - what hosting company are you using and is that the only information given to you?

Hello,

I would like to know how I change the source of the Blog template data. I would like to display the same template structure, however, by taking the data from a CPT.

Hey thiagosaccol,

You can see the logic on how each post format gets chosen in the index.php file and find the relevant template files in includes/post-templates

Cheers

Hey, I would love to buy this plugin. But I have some questions: 1. Can I add a different logo for the sticky header? And could you show me an example of your sticky header? 2. Does your theme work with polylang? And could you show me an example of the language switcher?

Thanks!

Hey ggore,

1. As of now there’s no option to replace after scrolling down – your desktop logo will be the same regardless of the header effect your choose

2. We’ve tested to ensure compatibility with Locotranslate, WPML and Poedit – I would assume polylang should also work without issues in translating

Cheers

Hi guys, I want to know how I can decrease the paddind (of the sides) of the containr of my whole page cubeunknown.xyz I want that the content have more horizontal space. Thank you.

Hey LuisVoronov,

You can adjust the container max width in the Salient options panel > general settings tab > functionality tab at the “Max Website Container Width” field.

Cheers

Hi,

What I must do to have in portfolio item page: http://editablearch.com/portfolio/autumn-crossing/ ...sidebar on right side like in normal page: http://editablearch.com/autumn-crossing/

???

Thank you, Janusz

Hey Janusz,

If you don’t want to have the sticky sidebar effect, ensure it’s disabled in the Salient options panel > portfolio > functionality tab at the “Portfolio Sidebar Follow on Scroll” option. If you’re referring to something different, please explain in more detail what you’re trying to achieve on the project page

Thanks in advance

No, I want make sidebar on right side on portfolio item page. But ok, I solve that problem :-)

If you can let me know about these two things:

1. Is it possible to show in portfolio items no by category, buy sort them by atributes?

2. Is it possible to change in URL word “portfolio” on something different? On my page, for example. Currently we see that: - http://editablearch.com/portfolio/early-evening-and-warm-sky/ ...and I want make it like that: - http://editablearch.com/stuff/early-evening-and-warm-sky/

Hey eulera,

1. Unfortunately there’s only the option to sort by category as of now, but i’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist :)

2. Yes, there’s an option for this in the Salient options panel > portfolio > functionality tab called “Custom Slug”

Cheers

Hi! Is there a way to use quotation marks in the Lightbox description/caption? It cuts off my caption right at a quotation mark. Thank you!

Hey erikagsimon,

Can you share the page URL where that occurs so I can take a look what settings you’re using?

Thanks :)

Hi, I’ve 2 presale questions:

1. Can I mix every kind of component in my demo? 2. In the agency demo http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-agency/ Can I disable the 3d scrool down effect from the video section to the next row?

Best Regards

Hey webDes13,

1. Salient studio allows you easily mix sections from all of the demos http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/ 2. That 3D page header effect is optional

Cheers

great!

Cheers webDes13 :)

Hi, is it possible to add another dot to the bottom of the dot navigation. This dot would be used to indicate that there is a footer. Currently our users don’t even know that they can scroll down again to see the footer?

Hey stoepid,

Not when using the default footer, you would essentially have just use the last row to house your footer information and keep the “Page Footer” option value in the page full screen rows metabox set to “none”. However, i’ve noted your idea for the wishlist

Cheers

Is not there a simple image slider? the standard version of the visual composer has.

It would be interesting to add something like Woocommerce to posts and shortcode.

Hey ofmarconi,

The image gallery element in Salient offers a slider style, but it can’t currently pull from post types. The next update is adding new options related to products though :)

Cheers

Hello I am using the FancyBox3 Lightbox but I dont want the button “View Larger” – I want that the whole picture is clickable – can you help me with that?

Hey Mario455,

If you’re referring to a portfolio element, you would need to use any of the other available project styles as seen here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/theme-options/portfolio/ Cheers

​Hello,

I’m attempting to see how well the theme will work for WCAG compliance: https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21 I know about this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-accessibility/, and am also sorting through the list on the WCAG website. ​

Can you tell me which of the following technologies are used in the theme:

​HTML
​CSS
​RIA
​Client-side Scripting
​Server-side Scripting
​SMIL
​PDF
​Flash
​Silverlight​​

And any other helpful info about WCAG and Salient working together?

Thanks!

Jennah​

Hey Jennah

HTML, CSS, ARIA, Client-side Scripting, and Server-side Scripting are used. None of the others are built into the theme, though if you wanted to embed a pdf you could.

Cheers

Thanks! Another question: is the theme itself is architected to be accessible (in particular with regard to responsive navigation, DOM structure, heading level hierarchy and order compliance, etc)... we are trying to determine if the foundation has accessibility issues inherent in the theme.

Hey AspenOracleLLC,

Salient is a fully responsive theme, however it we haven’t targeted it to meet all WCAG compliance guidelines so some things would require custom dev or the use of a plugin as you linked above

Cheers

Hi! I wonder if you could help me with some CSS to get the Masonry (no Sidebar) blog in to 2 columns instead of 3? I’m using Classic Enhanced option.

This “kinda” works, but the margins aren’t perfect:

.masonry-blog-item { width: 48%!important; }

Hey SeanAUS120 :)

49% would be a better fit for the container width than 48%, could you kindly share the URL in regards so I can see what’s not working about it on your setup?

Thanks

Actually it’s all good. 49% works nicely. At 48% the images were going outside their boxes when you hover over the post… Thanks!

Glad to hear Sean :)
