Is there anyway to incorporate srcsets to lightboxes and portfolio items on your end? Here I made a codepen for you 1) Uses better sizing for columned thumbnails (you need to add some simple calculations from the theme options for breakpoints and column numbers to get custom sizes) 2) Incorporates data-srcsets for lightboxes

Hey whatsnewsisyphus,

The portfolio thumbnails have srcsets, but the full size lightbox image currently does not. I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist, thanks for the pen :)

Hello, In some of your demos you use Magnific popup (which has been dead for several years) and some use fancybox, I see that there is a choice. Also, I see that the init.js is huge, are there any plans in making that smaller in the future?

Hey whatsnewsisyphus, there is the option to use either script as desired. To your second question, it’s an item on the to-do list

Hi,

We use the secondary header and overall I’m pleased with the theme. However, when I use / check the website on an ipad. (ipad 2, air, pro (11 + 13 inch) mini) the secondary menu goes wrong.

Please see this screen video of the site in use.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/u33580pzuk0ftgu/ScreenRecording_12-05-2018%2009-15-09.MP4?dl=0

The site is https://discovergrandprix.com

Can you let me know what css or what to change to correct this please?

John

Hey John,

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


body #header-secondary-outer nav>ul>li>a {
    display: inline-block;
}

It says in the Salient docs that, “Salient comes packaged with multiple sliders for you to choose from, the assets of which will only be loaded if selected to be used on a page.” But it loads all the slider JS and CSS on all the pages. The theme is really heavy. Is there a way to stop it loading the sliders not being used?

Thanks rednosemonkey, I can see all the assets loading when they should not be. As I mentioned, there are multiple checks in place to only load the slider scripts when needed as shown on the demos – something is preventing that logic on your setup. Could you please reach out in regards with temporary admin credentials via the contact form on my author page so I can take a closer look from the backend? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar Thanks in advance

I’ve sent an email with the login details. Thanks in advance for taking a look. I’d be interested to know what is wrong. But good to know that there are supposed to be checks in place before loading assets.

Thanks rednosemonkey :)

Hi, Recently updated to the latest Salient as well as the latest Wordpress and the Page Builder is no longer working inside my theme. I also have Classic Editor installed but that doesn’t seem to help. Everything was working great until I updated. Thanks!

Hey AkeatsKes,

If you’ve also updated your version of the WPBakery page builder to the current (5.6), please check if there’s any third party plugin conflict that’s causing the issue by temporarily deactivating any other plugins you may have active. If that’s not the issue, please reach via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks in advance

On my site, I have several phone numbers written in text fields. When I try to view them on a handheld device, these numbers are simply invisible or take the same color as the background.

I tried to change accent colors etc. but it did not help.​

Any idea?

Hey harryriegel, please share your actual URL in regards so I can take a look to help out.

Thanks in advance

I have a small issue on the Shop sidebar. When I put a widget underneath the Tag Cloud the title of the widget gets wrapped with the tags (where the title for the search bar is). How can I prevent this from happening? You can see it in the link below:

See Sidebar Here

Hey JayCanan,

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


body #sidebar .widget .tagcloud a {
    float: none;
}

Cheers

Thanks so much! really appreciate the response. Works! Only thing is on mobile the bottom margin is gone and the option to hide and reveal the tags doesn’t work.

You’re welcome JayCanan :)

We just added the fix for the product tag cloud widget mobile toggle function into the current beta. If you’d like a copy before the next release, please reach via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Hi, NO option to add product to wishlist ? also no icon on header ?

Hey shay2880,

There’s no built in option for a product wishlist, a plugin would be required. The only icons in the header that are available are shown in the demos (Search, WooCommerce cart, Account, Off canvas menu, Social icons)

Hello!

Please I need your help. I need to make Center Logo header navigation with left 4 items menu and 1 button menu on the right side. Separate left and right. How I can do it?

Thanks a lot!

Hey SiamNinja,

There’s no layout like that, however if you use the “menu left aligned” layout option, you can use the “pull right” menu location to move certain items to the right vs. left. CSS could then be used to position the logo in the center

Hi, great product!

How can i change the url permalinks structure of portfolio categories because when i open a portfolio category the url is “www.mysite.com/blog/project-type/category_name/” i want it to be ’”www.mysite.com/portfolio/category_name/”

Thanks

Hey Grafikal,

The taxonomy for project categories is called “project-type”, changing this would require modding to the nectar/helpers/portfolio/php file. Here’s a guide on what would be involved: https://someweblog.com/wordpress-custom-taxonomy-with-same-slug-as-custom-post-type/

Cheers

Hi, is it also possible to import :http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/: as a demo, I like the cards with dark backgrounds.

Thank you

Hey flmbloem,

Currently the promo page is not an importable demo, however i’ve noted to add that section into the Salient Studio template library for the next update :)

Cheers

Secondary Header Text is not visible in Mobile devices. How to make it visible?

Hey utsavchopra30,

The secondary header text gets moved into the mobile menu on smartphones. If you’re not seeing it there, please share your URL in regards

Thanks

Thanks utsavchopra30,

Please update your theme to the current version to get that fix (10.0.1)

Dear TN,

I am trying to make a pop-up. I want to place a button and when someone clicks that button, I want it to open a pop-up (iframe) and show another website in the iframe.

But how do I do this, exactly?

I tried with this plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/responsive-lightbox-lite/), but somehow I can’t get a ‘salient button’ to open a lightbox.

Do you have any idea how I’d best accomplish this with your theme?

Hey hookieoalo, the only way to integrate the button with a third party plugin would be to make use of the “Extra Class Name” field on your button to give it an identifier which you could target through the plugin. I’m not familiar with that specific popup plugin, but the one we feature on our eCommerce demo allows for this via the “trigger” settings: https://wordpress.org/plugins/popup-maker/

Hi TN. I named the trigger .iframe and placed that (.iframe) into the extra class field when editing a button. But nothing happens… Even if I delete the URL of the button, it just goes to /#. How do you set these buttons up if I may ask?

Hey hookieoalo, the plugin author has a guide on this here: https://docs.wppopupmaker.com/article/396-trigger-click-open-add-popup-maker-classes-to-set-a-trigger If you can’t get that to work, please open a ticket on our support forum in regards so we can take a close look into this: https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Also kindly let me know the ticket ID here once you’ve done so

Thanks in advance

Hi—I am trying to improve the load speed of my site. It is average on desktop but very poor on mobile. The main 3 issues on both seem to be “Eliminate render blocking resources”, “Defer offscreen images” and “Defer unused CSS” that are the main issues. See the report here https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fthefictionstoryroom.com%2F&tab=mobile

Majority of this seems to have to do with CSS that I’m not able to digest. Is there anything you can do to assist?

Hey JayCarver, we have a guide covering this in the docs here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/performance-optimization-guide/ You need to use a plugin to combine/minify/cache your CSS/JS

Hello!

Is it possible to put a milestones section inside of a slider?

One more question. Is there a way to center the milestones? It seems that when I set the vertical alignment to ‘middle’ (as it is now), it’s not quite centered.

PS: I just realized that I can use the milestones to act as a header, and there’s less custom CSS to give it that look . But thank you for your help as always!

Hey artblend, glad to hear you found a solution :)

hey guys – how can we remove the form field styling on ios devices? on mobile the form text boxes are rounded. we are hoping to remove the rounded corners. let me know if you have a way. thanks!

Hey brianlichty,

Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look? Currently I can’t replicate this on my end

Thanks in advance :)

I’d like some of my blog posts to be LINK format but when I set it to Link, the posts dont actually display in the Recent Posts widget. Is there a workaround for this?

Hey whiteelephantagency, this would require a modification to the nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php file at the “nectar_recent_posts” function. There’s a tax query that excludes the link format:


array( 'taxonomy' => 'post_format',
      'field' => 'slug',
      'terms' => array('post-format-link'),
      'operator' => 'NOT IN'
      )
)

Hi guys, after the latest automatic Wordpress update, Visual Composer stopped working altogether in the back end and I have no idea of how to bring it back. How can I proceed from here? Please advise. Thanks!

Hey copenhagensalsaacademy,

Are you using v10 of the theme and v5.6 of the Salient WPBakery page builder (formerly visual composer)? Those versions are required for WordPress 5.0 compatibility http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/

So i like the sticky nav but when i scroll down it resizes my header to a ridiculous small height. How do you keep the sticky nav but also keep the header the same height or maybe just a smidge small during scroll?

Hey primecon, there’s an option to enable/disable that resize on scroll effect in the Salient options panel > header navigation > animation effects tab

You can also define the shrink number for the effect in the same location.

Cheers

Is it possible to use a button to open a toggle? at the moment i just have text that says Read More which opens a toggle when you click on it. Thanks

Hey sociallyinspire,

That wouldn’t be possible, however you could use CSS to style the toggle to be different and more like a button. If you can share your URL in regards i’d be glad to provide an example

Cheers

Hi there,

I’ve a question:

This is my live website: https://salescyclegroup.nl/sales-manager/

I wanted to make some adjustments so I made a test environment: https://scg.kleidi.nl/sales-manager/

As you can see these are the same websites, but on this page the nectar slider images ars shown differently. I’ve made no adjustments to these images.

But I did update the test environment to wordpress 5.0 and updated salient (and WP visual composer). How to get it again like on the live version?

Thanks.

Hey Abbenhues,

Please reach via the contact form on my author page with temporary admin access I can take a closer look at the staging setup https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks
