Hello,

Love this template! But going nuts! I can’t seem to get things centered… they’re off (the submit button with the footer)... https://eugenelee.ca/contact/

Please help! hahaha :) Thanks!

Hey eugenelee223 :)

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


div.wpcf7 .ajax-loader:not(.is-active) { display: none; }

2. Make sure you’re uploading images at the minimum required size for each masonry size. e.g. 1000px1000px for the “wide&tall” size. You can find a full list of the minimum sizes required in the Salient options panel > portfolio tab > styling tab at the “Masonry Grid Sizing” field.

Cheers

Awesome it worked like a charm!! :D

Hey eugenelee223, glad to hear :)

Hi, we would like to create a website with your theme. We would like to integrate this with the shopify functions, is it possible? How could it be done? Thank you

Hey Obliquo,

Salient currently doesn’t offer any additional integration with Shopify, so that would require custom work/the use of a plugin. However Salient does provide a ton of extra functionality for WooCommerce – which is what the eCommerce related demos are using.

Hello, You mention a significant speed gain with version 9.0. Let’s say you have two identical installs one with version 8.0 , one with version 9.0 Could you tell me the difference in loading time? Many thanks.

Hey williambesson,

The major change was switching mostly all the layout calculations previously relying on javascript to be handled without the need for it. Therefore, when you disable the page transitions option everything should appear without having to wait extra time after the DOM is ready to show the content. When viewing on desktop the speed increase would be about 1 second or a little more and on mobile it could be closer to 2 seconds shaved off

Hi guys,

Gutenberg element styling in 9.0.2. any idea when this is getting released from your end?

Hey bachuramadhikari, it’ll be out before the release of Gutenberg – if you’d like to get access to the beta version, please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Hi I’ve just tried installing salient on a fresh install and am getting Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in salient\functions.php on line 6354

add_filter(‘loop_shop_per_page’, function($cols){ global $nectar_woo_products_per_page; return $nectar_woo_products_per_page; }, 20);

It is erroring out on this line I can’t activate or preview the theme?

I’m running php 5.2.1.7

Please ignore this it was a php version issue

Hey pennylanemini , glad to hear you’ve sorted it :)

Hi I was just wondering if it is possible to white label the theme so the theme path in the url is /wp-content/themes/​<name of client>/ and the theme is the name of the client?

Hey pennylanemini,

yes you can – just make sure you edit the theme directory name when the theme is not active in your WP setup as to not cause issues

Cheers

Hi, is there a way to have a necter button open to a lightbox image? If so, what is the css for it?

Hey freshlyroastedweb,

Yes – when editing the button in the page builder, change the “Extra Class Name” to be “pp”

Cheers

Hi ! I am using a Portefolio in constrain Fullwidth mode with 4 Columns and Masonry style enable. All is perfect in desktop mode my Portefolio pages display correctly in Regular / Wide / Tall / Wide & Tall size. But for Mobile i would like to disable this and only get the same square resolution for item size. When using a Category Grid it does use the same resolution for all posts in Mobile mode. How to achieve exactly this with a Portefolio ? Thanks for your Time !

Hey fantome_in, if you only used two sizes that had the same aspect ratio like shown in that URL example you could make them all the same size on mobile. To replicate that, you would use the “regular” size and “wide&tall” size only.

Thanks again for your very fast answer. The problem is that i use a mix of wide & tall / wide images in my portfolio. I find it really better for my needs. That would be great to add this options in future release of salient. I find that it ’s really more readable to have only square of the same size, when watching a portfolio on mobile phone. Hope you will be able to add this feature ! Thanks again for your fast feedback. Cheers

No problem fantome_in :)

I am trying to change the color to my background of my main header and my top header and whenever i change the color in the salient theme options nothing changed.

Hey primecon,

Do you have the “header color scheme” option set to “custom” in the Salient options panel > header navigation tab? https://ibb.co/iaDxDA

Perfect, thanks so much!

You’re very welcome primecon :)

Hello,

Is it possible to disable iconsmind library? I’ve got the site down to loading in 1.5 seconds desktop, but 3g is slowing because it’s nearly 1mb to load the library!

Hey createdesignsuk, that library should only be loading if an icon is being used from it on the page – if you’re not using any, please share your URl in regards so I can take a closer look.

Thanks in advance

Hi. Is there a way to set a default image header for every page in my site, so I don’t have to select the image page by page? Thanks.

Hey squizzo,

If you’re using the option “Automatically Add Page Title to Page Header.” in the Salient options panel > header navigation, you can then add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab


#page-header-bg { background-image: url('IMG-SRC.JPG'); }

Cheers

Hi, I am unable embed videos from Facebook in portfolio. Links from YouTube seems to work fine, but not in the case of Facebook.

Hey techtastic,

The portfolio function only accepts Youtube or Vimeo embeds for the lightbox – other embed types can still be added into the actual page content though within your project. I was listing the function that would need to be modified, however unfortunately that would require custom development which is a bit outside the scope of regular theme support

Hi, Thanks for your response. Well that’s sad that knowing that it will require custom coding, considering the popularity of FB. Hope would be integrated in future update.

Hey techtastic, I’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist :)

Dear Salient,

We are trying to remove this ‘line’ that appears between the Nectar Slider and the Header on the home page. You can see via the link it appears to be a white line. I can’t figure out whether it is part of the Slider, the Page, or the Header, and changing colours in the backend has led to no success. Further to this, the Nectar Slider is not resizing properly on mobile devices: it trims the sides of the image.

http://rghardiebagpipes.com/

Some support would be appreciated.

Thanks

Private Ticket #1761340 but you can also reply here, thanks

hiya, still need to resolve nectar slider images being clipped in responsive mode? Thanks!

Hey dmikeabx2, I’ll take a look at the ticket in regards :)

Hello Guys. How can i make on mobile view https://image.ibb.co/mXVrmV/mobile.jpg to see everything “Full with background” because i want ot see 2 products on row on mobile. My url website: www.imbracaminte-lucru.ro

Hey freakazor, 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) and (min-width: 1px) {
html body .woocommerce ul.products[data-product-style="material"] li.product.material {
    width: 100%;
    margin: 0!important;
}
}

Hi, we’re having trouble with getting video backgrounds to work on iPhones. My biz partners Google Pixel 2 plays video background no problem but my iPhone 8 Plus does not play it. I’ve got a Video Preview Image in its place right now so I have something up at least – but would like to get video working if possible.

Link to our site: http://interlace.digital

Hey InterlaceDigital,

From checking out the URL on my end using an iPhone 8, I’m currently able to see playback on the video – can you verify you’re using Safari on the device?

Thanks in advance

Interestingly enough, it seems to be working now! Thanks for the quick response!

Hey InterlaceDigital, I’m glad to hear it’s working for you :)

Hello) How do I change the font size of a Quote in a testimonial slide? Salient -> Typography – It’s not working

Hey, for that style add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab


body .testimonial_slider:not([data-style*="multiple_visible"]) blockquote {
  font-size: 8px;
} 

Cheers

Thank you very very much! =)

You’re welcome Nicko_217 :)

Hi, can you please add for the next update

 rel=”next” and rel=”prev”
to the blog pagination, page 2, page 3? This is recommended by Google as a best practices for SEO. You can read more about it on Google’s page https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2011/09/pagination-with-relnext-and-relprev.html thanks

yes, that is correct, it is used only when you use a normal WordPress blog functionality, however, if I used your custom blog functionality those tags do not work.

For example, if I use a set up like this http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog-magazine/ I cannot add those tags via Yoast, cuz Yoast only adds them to WP default blog functionality.

But yours is not WP default, those new blog updates that you made a few versions back, are all custom. I wish they replaced the WP default, but they are not.

By WP default I mean when you go to Settings > Reading and define a Post type. Here is a WP default example from your demos http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/blog/

But If I use all these new, cool blog setups http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate-2/corporate-2-news/ I cannot add Rel or Prev tags cuz WP wont considers these as blogs, but regular pages. Which creates a lot of SEO issues like pagination, duplicated pagination issues, rel and next tags and also canonicalization.

I wish you have added those new blog options to the Theme Settings bog sections as you have done with these -> https://imgur.com/a/TVy25jS

Hey toolbox101,

every blog style that was added into the blog page builder element is also within the theme options – the style seen on the link you provided is “Standard Blog W/ Sidebar” with the “Featured Image Left”. If you’re instead referring to being able to use multiple blog styles on the same page – that is currently not possible in the archive blog pages, but i’ve noted the idea.

I could not really explain what I wanted to say, i’ll record a video and show you the SEO issues, also there are a few firefox related bogs I can show you on the video. Thank you for the great work!

I understand how to hide the Salient Studio templates with the code provided here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/

But, that doesn’t hide the ‘Salient Templates’ button from the front end.

I’ve tried overriding the css from my main css file and by inserting inline css from my functions file but I can’t seem to get it!

How can I hide this button?

Thanks

Hey wattscreative,

to remove the new studio template button you can add this into the child theme functions.php as well :)


function nectar_generate_salient_studio_button() {
 return false; 
}

Cheers

Awesome, thank you.

You’re welcome wattscreative :)

Are your woocommerce pages updated with the last version??

Hey elias90, in the recent release of WooCommerce v3.5, three template files will show as out of date and we will release an update to remove that soon – we’ve checked the differences in all the files listed and the changes should not have any negative effect on your shop in the meantime as the changes were minor

Hiya, I’ve recently updated from Salient 7.0.8 to 9.0.1 to fix the Contact Page Map issue. But I have now run into another issue: my image galleries don’t display on the blog and news pages, but they do in the live preview of 7.0.8. Any idea what’s going on? My website is: https://therfieldpreschool.co.uk

Cheers, Joe

Hey Joe,

We added in the fix for that into the current beta release of the theme – if you’d like a copy before it goes live, please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Cheers
