Hello,

There are a few issues I am having -

I am trying to change the ‘Next Project’ and ‘Previous Project’ text on locotranslate with no luck. I have translated the strings in the default.po and salient-strings.pot file, but they are not showing up on the browser?

Please see: https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/3703334/db500e0ec920bed689dba7fff1397e44

Are these the right files? Because I have highlighted where it says these files might be overwritten upon update. But I have searched for the string in the other files and cannot find it. I also tried to create a translation of my own, but could not find the string.

Secondly I am using a plugin called user gallery: https://www.sypac.designofeden.co.uk/members-gallery/

The theme is preventing my search results in the gallery to 12, rather than letting the plugins settings dictate the amount of results. The developer of this plugin has said that there is these lines:

if(!function_exists(‘change_wp_search_size’)){ function change_wp_search_size($query) { if ( $query->is_search ) $query->query_vars[‘posts_per_page’] = 12;

return $query; } }

Is there a way to disable this in the settings? Or if not can I delete the function in my child theme?

Hey Utopia_Creative,

1. You need to create a new .po file based on the nectar_salient_strings.pot file – Loco Translate > Themes > Salient > Advanced you can set the path to the .pot file. For the Template file field use “lang/nectar_salient_strings.pot”

2. Add this into your child theme functions.php file:


function change_wp_search_size( $query ) {

  return $query;

}

Cheers

Hi Guys, thanks for your reply, number 2 is great.

1. I have followed your instruction and it still will not show up.

Is there anything else I’ve missed, or another approach?

I’ve used locotranslate before without issue, but must be doing something wrong on this!

I created a new .po file and set the Template file field to “lang/nectar_salient_strings.pot” translated the strings again, but they don’t show up.

Hi there,

I don´t know whats is happening with the child theme, i need to add css styles in the child theme and, if i add them via ftp,it doesnt work fine, only if I enter in the wp editor, that shows properly the changes via ftp, and I publish.

So can´t work via ftp, only from the wp editor

Thanks in advances

It is a fresh install of wordpress/salient theme

Hey kaleen74,

Have you verified that the file is actually getting updated on your server by moving the updated file back to your desktop after transferring it via FTP?

It was my server configuration… Thanks for the reply!

Glad to hear you got it sorted kaleen74 :)

Is there anyway I can exclude a category from the widget “Nectar Recent Posts Extra”? I like the styling of Salient’s sidebar categories, but when you go to select the category it lets you select individual or all….i just need to exclude 1. Is there some sort of work-around for this? Any help would be awesome.

Hey itmjustin,

Unfortunately that would require modding to the includes/custom-widgets/recent-posts-extra-widget.php as of now. However I’ve noted this on the wishlist

thank you, i have found somewhat of a work-around that will suffice for now, but would be great to have more functionality control over nectar widgets.

Hey itmjustin, i’m glad you found a temporary workaround :)

Please add, and update the Google fonts database. I’d really like to use this “Charmonman” font from Google webfonts but it’s not available in the theme.

Thanks guys! And by the way, I heard a new update is coming out. So, soon..?

Hey imoshi,

I’ve noted these for the upcoming update :)

Cheers

Awesome!

With Google maps change taking away general free access (with the paid $200 credit/free) we now require logins or api tokens for map usage. Will Salient be patched to properly access the map, as our map is now watermarked with “developer mode” and non-functioning.

Hey ciordia9,

That message should not display if you’ve added valid payment information into your Google account tied to the API key you’re using. However, because of the change Google made, in Salient v9.0 we added a new open source map type called leaflet which does not require any API key/payment.

Ah sorry, I hadn’t realized where the api key entry was. More snooping popped it up. Now I’m getting a JS error, I’ll debug that later and see if its just a confliction but we won’t worry about that.

We’re running v9.01 and I’m not cluing in to the new Leafmap. I went through the settings and additional plugins and am not seeing it. Can I get a clue or a link to documentation?

Hey ciordia9, there should be a “Map type” option at the top of the interactive map element settings: https://ibb.co/ne8zA0 – if you’re not seeing that, could you kindly open a ticket in regards via the support forum with your admin credentials so we can take a further look into this?

Hi! I am trying to have the “Category” page look exaclty like the Blog’s home page but can’t find a way. Could you please help with that.

Blog home: https://lejournaldux.fr/ Category page: https://lejournaldux.fr/ux/

Thanks!

Hey slaading :)

The recent posts elements you’re using on your home page have different styles than what is offered for the main blog element. The archive/main post pages are styled based on your settings in the Salient options panel > blog tab. Altering the main blog pages to use that layout would require some custom modding

Hello! Great update btw!

I’m using the Category grid as it is shown in the Ecommerce Creative demo. How can i change the position of the categories? For example in the demo ( http://preview.themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266?_ga=2.37490848.1815844614.1540970702-2063413309.1538141057 )

i want the casual shirts category to be the biggest picture, who is currently the Basic T-shirts.

Please help.

Best regards, Mathias

Thanks a lot Mathias, glad you’re enjoying it!

When you use the “Masonry Layout” option within the category gird, the larger/smaller columns are created automatically in a predetermined alternating order depending on the number of columns you’re using. If you want to change which columns become larger, it would require custom CSS. If you’d like to share your URL I could provide an example snippet though :)

Cheers

Hey mathiasjohansen,

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


.nectar-category-grid[data-columns="4"][data-masonry="yes"] > div:nth-child(2), 
.nectar-category-grid[data-columns="4"][data-masonry="yes"] > div:nth-child(7) {
    grid-column-end: span 2;
    grid-row-end: span 2;
}
.nectar-category-grid[data-columns="4"][data-masonry="yes"] > div:nth-of-type(1), .nectar-category-grid[data-columns="4"][data-masonry="yes"] > div:nth-of-type(8) {
    grid-row-end: span 1;
}

Cheers

Is it possible to have the woocommerce shop sidebar as an off-canvas sidebar?

Hey MarcGarner, not at this time. A plugin would be needed for that functionality

Ok, do you have any recommendations for plugins that would be best? Thanks.

Unfortunately I don’t have any specific to recommend for that functionally

Hello, I’ve updated your Salient theme, because I was hoping to fix some errors with the new version. I’ve noticed that nectar shortcodes doesnt work correctly. If I use the shortcode for masonry blog, the page is empty. On my news page I only wanted to show the news category but it still shows all categories.

And If I use the nectar shortcode function, this setting is broken. I can’t see the dropdown menu, only the outline and it has a width of 2px.

Inside the console I’ve found ”,window.controllers/Controllers, should not be used”

As I updated, the masonry blog still doesnt work. For this issue I’ve found this errors inside the console:

SyntaxError: expected expression, got ’<’ unreachable code after return statement init.js:8186:1 unreachable code after return statement init.js:8228:1 unreachable code after return statement init.js:8186:1

The only solution I had at the moment for the masonry blog, I made the blog as category, not as page. If I use my news blog as page, marked as blog page inside settings, it will show all categories, no matter what I have set up if I use blog module from visual composer. The “expected expression” error comes from another plugin, but I’m still not able to fix it. And I don’t know if other errors will have any effect to the website in future.

Looks like some of the templates are out of date with the new version of WooCommerce:

salient/woocommerce/checkout/form-checkout.php version 2.3.0 is out of date. The core version is 3.5.0,

salient/woocommerce/myaccount/form-login.php version 3.4.0 is out of date. The core version is 3.5.0,

salient/woocommerce/single-product/product-image.php version 3.3.2 is out of date. The core version is 3.5.1,

Hey MarcGarner,

We’ve sorted that issue in the current beta release – the changes should not have any negative effect on your shop in the meantime as the changes were minor however if you would like a copy of the beta, kindly reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Hello! How are you? I have been asked to make some changes in the header, and before confirming, I wanted to ask here whether it is possible or not. Use Salient + WPML, the style of the menu is: Off Canvas Menu (great job)

It would be possible that the links to the languages are outside the main menu, I explain it with an image:

https://imgur.com/a/6Wuvm8y

I would like to know if this is a support from the Salient team or from WPML, if it is from you I would have to renew my support.

Thank you very much, great job!

Hey alandres,

Is it not being added into your off canvas navigation menu on mobile? Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look?

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar! Yes, the link is http://panguranimation.com/inicio/ The home page shows the maintenance.

Regards.

Thanks alandres, Try assigning the language switcher to the widget area in the off canvas navigation using the “widget language switcher” option. Once it’s there, CSS could be used to hide it on desktop only, revealing it for mobile devices

Hello friends, how can I do so to place my blog posts, I would like them to be a bit above the header image http://snap.ashampoo.com/x1opRqpzVbdcsm9FFNtEYJQIIb8juhVmCE4UvmpLNsoA9ngf3ZkvE29n56Wrfn8H

Hey posonty,

That overlap was accomplished by setting a negative top margin on the parent column holding the blog element. If you’d like it to go up even further, you’d need to adjust the negative margin to be a greater value

Cheers

Hey guys- so I have a restaurant menu built on my homepage and I saved the row as a template so I could add it to a different page titled “menu” without having to make it all over again.

The content shows up fine for the user (http://totallyawesomesubs.com/menu/) but in the wordpress editor I can’t make changes, all 4 nav tabs are titled Soup & Sides (the 4th tab) but the content showing to edit below the tabs is the cold subs (the 1st tab) and clicking on each tab does nothing, the menu content stays on cold subs.

Any ideas why or how to fix?

I wish this theme could set a row as a global option instead of just a template so any change I make on the home screen would update the identical sections on other pages. Let me know if this is also possible.

Thanks

Hey TAsubs,

1. Could you kindly open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials and let me know the ticket ID here once you’ve done so I can take a look? https://themenectar.ticksy.com

2. WPBakery offers an addon for that kind of functionality – it’s called templatera: https://codecanyon.net/item/templatera-template-manager-for-visual-composer/5195991

Salient v9 is the MOST frustrating version yet! I would like to upgrade from the previous version but in testing there are so many issues. We have a woocommerce store and the single product page is junk. The flickity function WILL NOT re-size the main image correctly despite multiple attempts in different ways. It doesn’t help that woocommerce have moved the functionality to the pathetically poor customizer.

Regarding flickity, when I have a variable product and clear the selection the image dimensions of the main product image change and move the page up. But leaving huge padding between the product image the slider images.

website is : https://www.discovergp.com/product/catalunya-motogp-tickets/

Also the new centred menu nav bar which is one of the reasons I would like to update. It offers no use of the secondary menu other than a text link. This is of no use to an ecommerce store.

Plus as per my previous comment on here (which you did answer (thank you)) the table styling is so infuriating. I figured that out by the way. You are referencing the wrong style sheet and so any changes don’t get made as you were referencing 8.5.1 when the sheet is 8.5.3 (I think – from memory).

Please can you solve these issues in the next update or tell me how to solve them. I have wasted so much time that I could have coded my own theme by now!

Hey johnlmccurdy, I’m very sorry to hear you’ve been running into troubles. We’ve added the fix for the Flickity based gallery style into the current beta, if you’d like a copy of that now before the next release or just instructions on how to apply the fix, kindly reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I am currently using the team boxes with full bio overlay, however when using chrome I cannot click on the boxes to open the overlay, instead I have to refresh the page and then it becomes clickable.

Any idea on how we can fix this?

Thanks in advance

Hey nvenios, please share your URL in regards so I can take a look. Thanks in advance

I will respond through your ticketing system. Thank you for the quick response.

Hi we display social icons (Facebook, twitter and Linkedin) in header menu, we add new social icons (instagram and youtube) but don’t display the new social icons only display 3 icons, we try cleaning browser cache but problem continues. can help us?

Is possible display more than 3 social icons in header menu?

Thanks

Hey CAPBCN,

There is no limit on the number of icons that can be shown there, could you share your URL in regards so I can take a look at your settings?

Cheers

Hi, how do we style the bpdt font for anything that goes in the footer. This inclides TEXT widgets and other widgets sich as Manu Navigation. Currently its all differnt. In my Custom CSS I am using (supplied by you – see below) but only works for TEXT widgets? Everythig else, text is larger?

) } body #footer-outer #footer-widgets .col p { font-family: Roboto; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; font-weight: 300;

Hey alisonleon,

Change your current CSS snippet from:


body #footer-outer #footer-widgets .col p {
    font-family: Roboto;
    font-size: 13px;
    line-height: 20px;
    font-weight: 300;
}

to be this instead:


body #footer-outer #footer-widgets .col p, body #footer-outer #footer-widgets .col ul li a, body #footer-outer #copyright p {
    font-family: Roboto;
    font-size: 13px;
    line-height: 20px;
    font-weight: 300;
}
#footer-outer #footer-widgets .col ul li { padding: 0!important; }

Cheers

Thanks. I am also having issues with the bodt font color. If I go to footer settings and change the footer font color, the text changes on some of the widgets but not all of them!? And the copyright line beloew thw widgets doesnt change color either. so I added the color intot he CSS class you gave and it fixed the colours thatv werent changing exceot for the copyright footer line.

What I want to know is: 1. Why is ther not one setting in your settings that chnages ALL the widhets, copyright text etc together?

2. Why is the font different depending on what widget you choose/ copyright lie etc for thr body font?

3. Why is there only settings for the font title, not the body font? Where is the font taken from the body font?

Its really really confiusing. Have I missed a setting somewhere? Ideally I would rather not have any CSS in the customCSS panel at all.

and its taking me hours to try and fix this?

Hey alisonleon,

1. There are color selectors for each of the Footer sections https://ibb.co/mpaL00 , I have not been able to replicate the issue of the copyright text not inheriting the setting – I will need you to please open a ticket with your site credentials so we can see your setup closer https://themenectar.ticksy.com/

2/3. I disabled the custom CSS snippet I provided you in the browser console to see the raw version of your footer https://ibb.co/nicVYL however I’m not noticing that the font is different in any particular widget. Please provide an example widget where this is the case so I can test in regards. The widgets and the copyright bar all inherit from the typography font family setting for the “Body Font” and the footer widget headers will inherit from the “Sidebar, Carousel, Nectar Button & Footer Headers Font”. The copyright bar has a forced size of 14px when using the material skin, css would be needed to alter that size at this time.

Hi on this website and specific page: https://lisetteleerkes.nl/coaching/ the testimonials aren’t fully visible on mobile. How to fix?

Hey Abbenhues, Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:

@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {

.testimonial_slider[data-style=”minimal”] .slides { min-height: 400px; } }

Cheers

Hi,

I have a video background in desktop it’s fine.
But I need to change the video only for mobile devices.

How I can change this?

Hey nocomments, that would not be possible without custom development as of now i’m afraid – however i’ve noted the idea on the wishlist :)

Thank you, I hope to see this functionality in the next updates _
