Hi team, I keep trying to install the zip theme however I always get an error “The application did not respond in time.”

Hey ashbettridge85,

If you’re trying to install via the wp admin dashboard, can you check with your hosting company to ensure your “upload_max_filesize” and “post_max_size” are set high enough as mentioned in the docs here http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/installation/

Cheers

Is there a way to change the mobile woocommerce layout to just have 1 column? I have it set to 4 columns on desktop, then it goes to two columns on mobile, but it looks really squashed up, I’d like to change to just a single column.

Hey bentemple,

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: 690px) {
html .woocommerce ul.products[class*=columns-] li.product, html .woocommerce-page ul.products[class*=columns-] li.product {
    width: 100%;
}
html .woocommerce ul.products li.product .product-wrap img, html .woocommerce-page ul.products li.product .product-wrap img {
    height: auto;
}
}

Cheers

Perfect it worked great!

Glad to hear bentemple :)

Hey guys,

I realize custom coding is possibly going to be involved here, but fingers crossed it’s not too complicated (and I’m happy to pay if required). Is there a way to swap the logo (by default on the left) and the full-screen cover menu (by default on the right)?

Thanks!

Hey ND81,

It would indeed require some custom CSS – if you could share your URL i’d be glad to provide an example :)

Cheers

Awesome! Thank you – Will PM

Thanks ND81 :)

how do you remove dates from the blogs? specifically the page that shows all the blog excerpts the main blog page

Hey brianfreeman,

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


.masonry.classic_enhanced .post-header span, .blog-recent[data-style*="classic_enhanced"] .post-header span { display: none; }

2. You’re using the recent posts element on the shared URL as opposed to the actual Blog element. When you use the full blog element, you’ll also be able to set the “Masonry Item Sizing” for each post if you want some larger than others when you have the “Classic Enhanced” masonry style selected in your theme options panel > blog tab

Hey guys, on the homepage slider here all words start with an uppercase. How do I stop this from happening (because it’s bad english). http://www.minely.com.au/

Hey mitchvan,

In the Salient options panel > typography tab > general HTML elements tab, you can set the “text transform” for your heading 2 field in regards.

Cheers

Hey sniro,

Page transitions can be enabled via the Salient options panel > page transitions tab. The transition effect used on that demo is called “Horizontal multi layer swipe”

Cheers

The new theme update is AMAZING! With the shop style, Is it possible to add a subcategory under a category? For example: have a Shoes and Bikini category under a Women category and Shoes and Shorts under a Men’s category?

I’m glad you’re enjoying it peterstavrou! :)

Yes, WooCommerce allows you to nest categories. Have you encountered any issues when attempting to do so?

Cheers

Just want to say thank you for the latest big update (9), seeing greatly improved performance on my site https://www.digitalapplied.com/, scoring 94 on GtMetrix pagespeed and 90 on Pingdom Tools.

I’m glad to hear rmgibbons01! Your site looks great as well :)

Cheers

Hey guys,

Is there any way to have the Nectar Slider used as the background to a full screen row (e.g. as you can do with a video, static image etc.)?

Thanks!

Hey ND81!

It can’t be used a BG with additional content on top of the slider, however you can indeed use a Nectar Slider within a fullscreen row setup and have it fill the entire section by setting the slider element itself to fullscreen. If you need assistance setting that up kindly open a ticket in regards :) https://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Cheers

Hey brianfreeman, that’s the masonry “Classic Enhanced” style. You can set the style for your blog archive pages in the Salient options panel > blog tab and additionally set it in the blog element within the page builder as well (if you’re using any instances of that element).

Loving the theme thus far, but any chance we can get Discord added to the social media pool? It’s really important to our company so we’d love to have ti available.

Hey solanales, i’ve noted to add that in for the next release :)

Fantastic! Excited to be able to add that on.

Hey man, is it possible to add an own webfont? Best

Hey rockzi,

Hi,

I have a question; I am trying to add the phone number on under the Mega Menu, megamenu columns-2 style. However, I do not want it to be a link. So this is what I do. I go to the menu section of the wordpress, add a custom link, then in the CSS Classes (optional) section, I put my class name phone-menu. Then in the child theme’s style.css I put the following CSS code



.phone-menu {
    cursor: none;
}

But this is not targeting my custom CSS, it targets the mega menu. It targets the ID #menu-item-10324

What do I do to target that specific CSS? Unfortunately, I cannot share a link, it’s a local installation I am testing out.

Also, I’d like to share a few wish list items if you do not mind:

1. New more flexible and advanced mega menu. See this theme, this mega menu is great https://ld-wp.template-help.com/monstroid2/default/home-creative-2/ especially if you hover over the Blog link, you will see a well-organized menu, each with its own category on the right.

2. New menu, (this is not mega menu, just the main menu) Most, if not all WordPress themes use the same style menu. Nothing unique and different. Here is an example of a unique menu https://www.gigsalad.com/ I think uniqueness will be a great selling point for you guys too and will keep your customers happy.

3. Flipboard support

4. Overall less code. The v9 had performance and speed optimization with the transition effects. Which is great. We would love to see this in other areas too. Right now if you test Salient theme for Spam score with Moz tools and a few other SEO tools it says HTML and text ratio is high. So cutting down the code will be super great.

5. More organized Visual Composer options each for its own dedicated group. This is very unorganized https://imgur.com/a/AcQLGmo

6. I know this have been asked before but would be great to actually see it coming to Salient. Breadcrumbs

7. Updated icon list, font awesome has a few new icons.

8. New blog header type (focused for SEO and better usability)

9. The material skin was great. Maybe a new Apple-like skin?

Also, one question. Are there any plans making a completely new theme besides Salient?

Thanks for your hard work. I’d really appreciate if you could help me with that CSS targeting issue above.

Thanks

Hey toolbox101,

The class name added to a menu item will get placed on the parent list item of the anchor, so if you change your css to the following it should work:

.phone-menu > a {
    cursor: none;
}

I appreciate your requests! Some of those were already on the wishlist, but I’ve added the new ones and the +1 for the existing items. As of now we do not have plans to create a new theme, instead we are spending our time updating and maintaining Salient.

Cheers

I forgot to mention that I have actually tired that too but it did not work. Here i am uploading a screenshot for you to see. https://imgur.com/a/d8yYblX

If you follow the red arrow you will see the class phone-menu applies to the list item, but I want to target the a tag, follow the blue arrow.

Thanks

Hey, the selector listed above is valid to target that – however it wouldn’t totally prevent a user click. If that’s the goal, change it to this:

.phone-menu > a {
    cursor: none;
    pointer-events: none; 
}

Hi, I’m using the Portfolio Grid (constrained fullwidth, not mansonry) in a page, and I would like to see the portfolio thumbnails in 2 columns.

I don’t find any settings to achieve that, and can’t find the right CSS.

Could you help with that ? Thanks.

Hey wordpress-man,

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


body .col .portfolio-items .col.elastic-portfolio-item {
    width: 50%!important;
}

Cheers

Hello is there any demo similar to this http://prntscr.com/kzqo44

Hey beenerds, check out this demo in regards http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-business/articles/

Hey Nectar, I was using snippet of code you provided to default to the original style of captions. Is it possible to have it centered beneath the image? Right now, all captions are offset to the left. Thanks!

body .wp-caption .wp-caption-text { background-color: transparent; box-shadow: none; border: none!important; top: 0!important; }

Hey RollingSpoke!

Change that snippet to following :)

body .wp-caption .wp-caption-text {
    background-color: transparent;
    box-shadow: none;
    border: none!important;
    top: 0!important;
    display: block;
    text-align: center;
}

Cheers

Perfect, thanks!

You’re welcome RollingSpoke :)

How do I remove tge underline from the off canvas menu?

Hey alisonleon,

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


html body.material #slide-out-widget-area[class*="slide-out-from-right"] .off-canvas-menu-container li a:after {
   display: none;
}

Cheers

Hi how can I get the ‘call to action’ to open a new browser window when clicked on?

Hey alisonleon, you’d need to copy the footer.php file into your child theme and modify at the call-to-action section

“Keep Back To Top Button On Mobile” is turned on but there is no back to top button on mobile.

Hey Brian987511, that issue has been fixed in the current beta of the theme, if you’d like a copy please reach out in regards via email

@cossi write this code in your phpmyadmin sql screen to reset nectar love count to zero: UPDATE `wppv_postmeta` SET `meta_value`= 0 WHERE `meta_key`=’_nectar_love’

We are gonna purchase salient for a project! It’s a great theme.

Hey ainemur, thanks for helping out another user :)

Cheers
