Hello

I’m not sure if it’s possible to do this in Salient template page? https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/link-to-any-spot-in-a-wordpress-post-with-page-jumps-bookmarks/ Here is my page I want to use it. http://ketchupstudiobkk.com/portfolio/#beauty-product

I really appreciate your response.

You’re welcome twinsterphoto,

Verify that you’re using any of the portfolio image grid styles except for “meta below thumb w/ links on hover” if you intend on using a masonry display. Also, if your images already existed in the server before activating Salient/switching to the photography based masonry option you’ll also need to run this plugin in order to regenerate the image sizes https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

Cheers

Thanks so much for your help. I will try my best to do it.

You’re welcome twinsterphoto :)

My logo didn’t show after updating 9.0, please help me

Hey ikiyamay, please share your URL in regards so I can take a look

sorry, the problem is solved, thanks

Glad to hear ikiyamay :)

How can we make the header fonts responsive so that they’re not so big on mobile devices?

Our header at the top of our site looks perfect on computer screens, but it cuts off on mobile devices.

Hey 4THPARK, unfortunately I don’t see any reply comment from your account after I asked for a URL so I could take a look. I also ran a search for your username through my email to verify it wasn’t sent there – where did you share the URL?

Hi, we apologize. We didn’t see your reply for the URL. The URL is http://kingculture.org

Hey 4THPARK, it looks like you’re on an older release (8.5.6) before the responsive sizing was added to work with the WPBakery custom heading element. If you do not want to update your theme, add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab and adjust as needed:


@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
 h1.vc_custom_heading {
   font-size: 50px!important;
} 
 h2.vc_custom_heading {
   font-size: 40px!important;
} 
}

Is it possible to use the full screen rows feature and set a background color for the entire page that shows for each row? (In my case, a gradient background).

So the rows don’t have their own backgrounds, making it look like just the content is moving. Like a fixed background for all rows? I have been able to create the gradient background with CSS on the page, but once I turn on the full screen row feature, each row has a white background that seems to block the pages background color. Thanks for the great theme!

Hey proxemics,

Change the above snippet to the following:

#nectar_fullscreen_rows {
    background: none!important;
}

#nectar_fullscreen_rows > .wpb_row .full-page-inner-wrap,
#nectar_fullscreen_rows .wpb_row .row-bg, .full-width-section .row-bg { background-color: transparent; }

.main-content > .row:before {
    background: linear-gradient(#D242DD,#FD8262) !important;
    display: ;
    display: block;
    content: '';
    height: 100vh;
    width: 100%;
    left: 0;
    top: 0;
    position: fixed;
}

Amazing! Thank you so much!!

You’re very welcome :)

This is an amazing theme, and the reason I have purchased 5 licenses to date, more than any other theme. But I did want to mention that every time I update the theme (even using the child theme), it moves the footer widgets and on occasion has even deleted widgets entirely so that they don’t exist anymore, not even in the “unused widgets” area. So every time I update I have to take screen shots of the entire footer and save the contents of every widget to separate files so that I can rebuild it if necessary. To be fair this is not the only theme where this problem exists, but since it is my favorite theme out of more than 100 that I have purchased it deserves attention.

Thanks Adwiz, can you let me know what method you’re using when updating? That shouldn’t occur when using the Envato market plugin or Easy Theme Upgrades: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/

Hey Phil quick question please.

I seem to have a problem with the mobile version of a site I’m working on.

http://beingdivinelight.com/home/

At the bottom of the screen where the info is, everything is centered at the bottom of the page on the web version. However the mobile version has thrown the social media icons out of place along with the contact Karen button. How can I fix the mobile version so that everything is centered the way I set it up like the desktop?

Thanks so much,

CS

Hey CS, it looks like you have the icon set to 220px for the left margin. Try to remove that and set the parent column to “Centered Content Alignment”

Cheers

Hey that worked for the mobile version but now the desktop is out of alignment. Any ideas?

Hey CSMurphy, you can place a divider element between the last icon and button elements in order to get them to display on separate lines

Hi, I have a slide out bar, and I’ve a menu widget on that bar. Ther is a way to have the widget aligned to the top of the bar and not to the bottom?

Hey thenewplace, could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look at your current settings to assist?

Yes, you can see it here: https://test.giuseppe.rocks/palminteri/ On the right we have the silde bar, I wish that the menu was on the upper side of the bar, and not at the bottom.

Hey thenewplace,

Widgets that are added into the off canvas menu display at the bottom by default, however when you assign an actual menu it will be displayed at the top. You can assign your menu to the “Off Canvas Navigation Menu” location in Appearance > Menus to make it display there.

Cheers

Hi, before buy, its possible make this portfolio in homepage but linking the lightbox image instead link a page project?: Thanks.

http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/portfolio-fullwidth-masonry/

Hey webgerman, yes – any portfolio element can displayed to only open a lightbox larger image

Thanks for asnwer!

You’re welcome webgerman :)

can I do something in full screen mode and that the text was in the middle on mobile devices? https://yadi.sk/i/kCPyKaA93aokor

Hey Nicko_217, there’s no option in Salient for a fullscreen header on mobile only

how to do this with custom css?

Hey Nicko_217,

Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab

@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 1px) {
body.single-post #page-header-bg:not(.fullscreen-header) {
    height: 94vh!important;
}

body.single-post #page-header-bg[data-alignment-v="middle"] .container {
   height: auto;
   top: 50%;
   -webkit-transform: translateY(-55%);
   transform: translateY(-55%);
}

}

Parallax fixed background is broke in this update. The background just stays at top.

Salient WPBakery Page Builder row settings > Parallax Background Speed = fixed

Hey Pagano,

Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab


body .wpb_row.parallax_section .row-bg.using-image[data-parallax-speed="fixed"] { transform: none; }

Cheers

Hello, i have a problem updating the WPBakery Page Builder plugin (v.5.5.2) , If i try to update the plugin i get the error:

PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature

Also i tried to install manually uploading the files in the plugins folder, but if i activate the plugin i get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file, expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) or heredoc end (T_END_HEREDOC) or ${ (T_DOLLAR_OPEN_CURLY_BRACES) or {$ (T_CURLY_OPEN) in /usr/home/thefuture.haus/web/wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/nectar-vc-addons/salient-studio-templates.php on line 4317

I think something is wrong with the new version of the visual composer Can you help me? Thank you!

Hey mimetica, that error could occur if WordPress doesn’t have enough memory on the web server to unzip and upload the contents of the zip file – have you tried to change your memory_limit yet via the php.ini?

Cheers

Hello, the ninja form fields don’t seem to be displaying with the salient theme?

http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/3591837/d641bf358e101a465cb1126aa267751f https://www.redchilli.designofeden.co.uk/register/

When I deactivate salient they appear on the themes 2016/2018 etc.

I have tried to add some css but cannot find the right css to override the current styling by salient. Any help would be appreciated, thanks Liam.

Hey Utopia_Creative,

Have you cleared your cache since updating the theme? I just checked on a few browsers and can see them displaying: https://ibb.co/hy9ZCz

Cheers

Your Catergory Grids have an option of rounded ednges – but if used on a black background its showing white radius.. Have this been checked properly?

Hey alisonleon, you can hide that with the following:


.nectar-category-grid .nectar-category-grid-item {
    border-radius: 5px;
}

I paid for theme translation, because I couldn’t do this by myself with your documentation. After update are translations are gone so I lost my money. Is there any precise instruction about translating the theme?

It’s very hard to implement. All themes I’ve already work with have easy translation system…

Hey DzielnyTabaluga, Are you referring to adding that snippet into a child theme being hard to implement or translating the actual theme strings?

I refer to creating and managing child theme. Usually I manage translations via LocoTranslate or uploading po and mo files into files manager on server. It’s quick and simple.

Please I need to import “Service” demo, but not work. Import is ok, but site is different. You can give me an advice? I followed the wizard but the site remains the same, even if import other demo. This is my imported site: http://test.stefanomastria.com/ Thanks

Problem resolved. Thanks

Glad to hear smastria2014 :)

Im finding someting really simple virtually impossible to do, please help:

BLOGS 1. I want a simple rounded rectangle foereach ‘blog’ thumbnails’ displayed in a blog.

I DONT want them long, thin or square, just simple a rectangle with rounded corners – how do I do this? I want them to look a bit like http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate-2/corporate-2-about/ (say hello to your team), but as a blog! Why is this so hard to do!?

2. On this page http://muzika.cloudaccess.host/?page_id=667 I want to remove the avatar, excerpt, date and change the color of the white backbackground – wheres all the options for this??

Your theme is brrillaint, but there is no clear insructions.

Your live demos/previews and literature dont show/explan things properly so I spend most of my day trying to figure things out myself – so much time wasted. Also, why isnt there an option to have rounded corners for portfolios – when you have rounded corners for eerything else – theres no consistency?

I dont mean to complain, but please can you work on this for us as we dont know the theme inside out like you and your team do! Its so frustrating.

Hey alisonleon,

1. Salient does not offer a style like the team member element you’re trying to replicate. If you use the auto masonry layout in the blog element, you can alter the height to be less tall and more square with the following CSS

.post-area.auto_meta_overlaid_spaced .masonry-blog-item .post-content {
    height: 30vh;
}

2. There are no options for that, the material masonry blog layout is displaying on your end as it does on the demo – If you need to tweak elements beyond what is shown possible, it will require css tweaks.

.masonry.material .masonry-blog-item .article-content-wrap, 
.masonry.material .masonry-blog-item .meta-category, 
.auto_meta_overlaid_spaced .masonry-blog-item .meta-category a:before {
    background-color: #222;
}

.masonry.material .masonry-blog-item .grav-wrap, .masonry.material .masonry-blog-item .excerpt { display: none; }

.masonry.material .masonry-blog-item  h3 { color: #fff; }

I appreciate your feedback, however please post multiple questions/requests in the support forum so they can be properly indexed. This comment area is intended
for quick questions/prepurchase questions

Is ther anyway we can intergrate sound in the menu bar or something? I know Google legislations have changed, but I am doing a music website and I need the viewer to have an option of sound on the home page. I know your background videos dont have that option, but are there any other ways…. I have tried to investigate but I jus cant work out ither ways aroudn this.. I am using vimeo, or can use an i frame out out a menu on/off button onthe header – but how do I do all these things?

Hey again alisonleon,

This is not a feature offered in Salient – it would require the use of a plugin or custom development

Hello man! In the last update you change the name of a theme in “Aria Tech” or it’s a my bug?

P.S. Still love this theme, about 4 years <3

Hello man! Yes, in my admin panel i see your theme with name “Aria Tech”, but the child theme and in the theme options the name is “Salient”, why? O_O

That’s quite strange hooligans92, could you please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page with temporary admin access so I can take a look? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks in advance

I know, it’s really strage. I send u the admin access :)

Hello! I bought this a long time ago but I just started using it. Very grateful if you could help me with the following:

I want to remove the “author” and the author picture on the recent post sliderBUT keep the category.

This is the slider: http://preview.themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266?_ga=2.141069297.272901418.1536061227-1761018916.1535972986

I’ve managed to remove both the author and the category with the following code (but I would like to keep the category only):

.recent-post-container.container .grav-wrap { display: none !important; }

Hey Jingcheng!

Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab


.nectar-recent-posts-single_featured .grav-wrap > a,  
.nectar-recent-posts-single_featured .grav-wrap .text > span { display: none; }

Cheers

is it possible to add icon to the links in the menu? on the left ??? <3 love your theme :)

Hey atwatwx,

Salient allows social media links in the header when the secondary header is not in use – those are configurable via the Salient options panel > header navigation > layout related tab with “Enable Social Icons” – currently the only header layout to allow a left alignment is the new “Centered menu bottom bar”

Cheers
