Hey man, I want to update my plugins after installed WP5.0 and updated the theme, but I got following error…

Warning: Illegal string offset ‘deactivate’ in /homepages/18/d505014407/htdocs/WordPress/BLINDEDHEARTS/wp-content/plugins/wp-editor/classes/WPEditor.php on line 333

Can u help me?

Hey Andi,

The plugin you have active “wp-editor” is what’s causing that issue, I just installed it on a testing site as well and was able to replicate it with and without Salient being the active theme https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-editor/ – Since it messes up the plugins page a lot, you might have to delete the folder using FTP on your server (wp-content/plugins/wp-editor)

Cheers

Oh man … I.LOVE.THEME.NECTAR, thx bro

Glad I could help rockzi :)

Hello, im contacting on behalf of a client.

i’ve been looking through your support but cant seem to answer these questions.

1. is it possible to add a scroll down button on a fullscreen zoom slider on the recent projects element?

2. this client has already set their typography (general html elements) area and doesn’t want to alter as it will change entire site, so this has led to the title being so tiny, is it possible to change the title of the fullscreen zoom slider portfolio title through css without changing the typography settings area?

3. can the project excerpt typography font/size be changed and moved just above the portfolio title?

i would really appreciate if these can be answered, thank you in advance.

kind regards

Hey timzyhasanego,

1. There’s currently no option for a scroll down arrow on that element

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


.nectar_fullscreen_zoom_recent_projects .project-slide .project-info h1 {
    font-size: 87px;
    line-height: 79px;
}

3. This would require modding to the nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php file at this time

Cheers

Hello, Can you please let me know if I can get a copy of Salient that runs on PHP 7.0.33? If I cannot I need to go another direction and use a different template. Please help.

Heym

The current version of Salient should be compatible with PHP 7.0.3, could you please let me know what issues you’re facing so I can investigate further?

Thanks

Hello again,

Thank you. Here’s what I’m struggling with.

We are running Salient Child Theme Version: 0.1, I purchased the newest version of Salient Child Theme and I need to get it running. When I try to upload the theme is says:

Destination folder already exists. /home3/edcmtcom/public_html/edcmt-test/wp-content/themes/salient-child/

Theme installation failed.

My host says that I should get an upgrade version from you. Is this true?

What is the best way to get the new version installed. I’m currently struggling with getting Visual Composer to work with the version 0.1. Please help!

Thank you.

Hey EDCMT,

The main parent theme is what changes in updates, the Salient child theme is just a raw boilerplate for you to build on. Unless you’ve made customizations in your child theme, the child theme would not present an issue in regards to page builder compatibility. Have you read through our WP 5.0 compatibility guide? It covers what you need in order to use WP 5.0 http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/

Hi, do you know how can I setup the footer to 6 column?

Hey fielmonk23, that would require modding to the salient/includes/partials/footer/main-widgets.php file, which can be moved to a child theme

Hi,

Ive got a problem. When I go onto the backend of my site it seems to of changed all the items I did in the page builder to classic mode blocks. Would you be able to look at this please. The website is http://www.brownz-creative.com/

Many thanks

Alex

Hey brownzcreative,

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

Cheers

Hello,

Is there any option to always re-animate the animation effect every time they are in view?

Hey effective_advisory,

Unfortunately not without some custom javascript work to the init.js file

I see. The count effect is based on one function inside the init.js right? Can you tell me the function name? Because I already got the custom js that do something once a certain element come in window screen. So I’m planning to make it run the count function.

Hey effective_advisory, The function is named “milestoneWaypoint”

Cheers

I have the latest version of Salient theme, but there is no option to edit the text as a front end, I need to time edit on the regular way. There is any secret button to move us to edit or front end as shown in the video?

You’re welcome ferreirex – were you able to update the page builder plugin?

Yes, I have extracted from the Theme and replaced using the ftp.

Glad to hear ferreirex :)

​I have this code inserted in the body of my site for facebook messenger live chat widget using a header footer inject plugin. Worked fine for 6 months.

however since the most recent update, the live chat stopped showing on the site <!- Load Facebook SDK for JavaScript -> <script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = ‘https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk/xfbml.customerchat.js'; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’));</script> <!- Your customer chat code -> <div class=”fb-customerchat” attribution=”setup_tool ” page_id=”1809586075980377” logged_in_greeting=”Hi! Need help with a bot?” logged_out_greeting=”Hi! Need help with a bot?”>

I’ve tested in on non-salient sites and it works fine. Also tested on non wordpress sites and it works fine. Why isn’t it showing anymore on my salient site? Thanks for the help!

I have disabled it but it didn’t make a difference,the live chat is still not rendering. There are no errors in the console and before I posted here I had checked the console – there were no errors…. I had this popup plugin for a while now and it never caused an error with live chat before. Anyway, how do I get the live chat to render again?I don’t think downgrading the older version of salient is an option….

2, I am trying to hide the authors name from everywhere on the blog/posts. I have put these in salient options but no luck. The authors names are still showing? What do I change? .meta-author { display: none!important; }

.meta-author, .author-section { display: none!important; }

see here: https://www.screencast.com/t/GjJMxBr9x cache has been cleared

Hey nkhanani, Could you please reach out privately with the full script code you’re pasting into the header inject plugin so I can test with it locally? You can use the contact form on my author page here: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Have you also tried the official plugin that they offer for simplifying integhration? https://wordpress.org/plugins/facebook-messenger-customer-chat/?fbclid=IwAR1bx7bM4H4MGoHYOr2WGyWp5wAXx5y-LY7a09NGoUSninn-U1VJ2ZT9gCg

Thanks in advance

Are there any plans to reduce the use of ’!important’ in Salient’s CSS so making child themes isn’t a nightmare?

Hey cjweb, I’ve noted your feedback – in short, yes – Salient has been reworking the code base over the last few updates and this is still on the to-do list.

Cheers

I am going crazy trying to figure out how to vertically align the text in the footer to the bottom. I have 3 columns and I have style all the text pretty well in a “TEXT” widgets but I can not for the life of me get the text to sit on the bottom of the footer instead of hanging down from the top. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated :-)

Hey petruccelli, there’s currently not option to bottom align text in the bottom like that. However, if you share your URL i’d be glad to provide you a snippet to get started

Thanks so much! Noblr.ilikehighfives.com

Hey petruccelli,

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


#footer-outer .row {
    display: flex;
    align-items: flex-end;
}

Cheers

​It’s been mentioned before, but in order to make these theme more usable with any kind of tracking (analytics) we need to be able to have IDs on buttons. Otherwise it’s very crippled for most of our clients.

Hey strillogy, an option for that will be added in the next release :)

How can we remove the left/right margin from blog posts (https://bit.ly/2UX9wWs) so that they are like portfolio posts (https://bit.ly/2EDXYSW) and span the width of the page?

I don’t see why blog posts are forced to have padding anyway?

Thanks.

Edit: For anyone else wondering I think it’s the max-width which is set at 1000px and works if you change to 100%.

I wonder if this should be an option in settings as padding can be set individually in page creation stage.

body[data-ext-responsive="true"].single-post .container-wrap.no-sidebar .post-area {max-width:100% !important;}

Hey pinkgerbil,

Can you share your blog URL so i can take a look at what settings you’re using?

hi – i just updated the salient theme to the newest version. how do i achieve this look with the blog page? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate-2/corporate-2-news/ I don’t see anywhere where it allows the text to the right of the image? is there a template in the new version that I can start from?

Hey brianlichty,

1. That style is called “featured image left” and is available to select for your blog archive pages from the Salient options panel > blog tab https://ibb.co/mJvbqj5 as well as in the individual blog element within the page builder. There is indeed blog templates that use that in the Salient studio as well

2. The markup is in salient/search.php and the styling is kept inside of the main stylesheet (salient/style.css). There’s also a few styles to select from in the Salient options panel > general WordPress pages tab

Cheers

thanks!!

You’re welcome brianlichty :)

Does the theme have any dedicated ad placement

Hey shaun01234, by default ads can be placed into the sidebar area using widgets. There’s no custom ad functionality in Salient itself, that’s left to plugins

The social media buttons element has no option for instagram?

Hey createdesignsuk,

The theme header/footer/off canvas menu have the option for a instagram link, however the “share to” social buttons for single blog posts/single portfolio items do not

Hi there! I know my support expired, but I have just one small question… I am using your amazin off canvas menu (slide out), is there any way to make the slide out box bigger? A few of my menu items are too big and I do not wanna scale down the font size. Thanks for your help!

Hey MMA_Impact :)

Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look at all your settings?

Cheers

Thanks a lot for reaching out! Yeah sure…please check: www.bespoke-media.de I would like to change the menu item from “ANFRAGE” to “PROJEKTANFRAGE” which would be too long and cut in two lines.

Maybe there´s a chance to make the slide put box a little bit bigger, so a menu item with more letters wouldn´t be broke down.

Aaaaalso…sorry for bothering… If you check the item “SERVICES” it´s a drop down menu and the SERVICES is not linked to any site. What I am missing is…you need to click on the small arrow to open the drop down menu. Is there any way to keep the arrow AND make the menu item clickable / collapsable? Not just the arrow? If I make the menu item to collapse, the small arrow is hiding and the visitor does not see that it´s a drop down menu. But if I chose the arrow to be shown, the menu item SERVICES is not collapsing the drop down menu.

Thanks a lot! If you need anything else, please let me know!

Hey MMA_Impact,

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


body #slide-out-widget-area.slide-out-from-right-hover {
    padding: 36px;
}

2. Unfortunately this would require some custom modding to the theme, however i’ve noted the idea on the wishlist

Cheers

How do I get my forms to have the minimal design?

Hey FrederikBaastrup, the minimal option for form styling is located in the Salient options panel > form styling tab: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/theme-options/form-styling/

Isn’t it possible to make this form styling anymore? https://nytsite.mondae.dk/indhent-tilbud/

Hey FrederikBaastrup, in version 9.0 we changed the minimal styling option. Unfortunately the minimal style had to be simplified to not rely on javascript to move the labels around/create the animation – it conflicted with many third party form systems and was general unstable.

I updated my Salient and now my page builder is completely broken. Everything is in 1 giant block of text and just pure code. I HAVE TO MAKE EDITS AND NOW THIS IS PUTTING ME BEHIND MY SCHEDULE. PLEASE HELP. I HAVE SCREENSHOTS.

Hey hnstudios, have you read through the WordPress 5.0 guide in our documentation? http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/

You need to using the latest theme version (10.0.x) as well as the latest Salient WPBakery page builder plugin (5.6) in order to have WordPress 5.0 compatibility.

If you’re already on those versions, please open a ticket on our support forum in regards with temporary admin credentials so we can take a close look into this: https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Thanks in advance

Hi Support,

how do i add ädd to cart” icon on the header and add checkout and add to cart page on this demo?

http://creaztheme.com/bloconomic-2019/

Thank you.

Hey tommytai,

When you have WooCommerce enabled, there’s a section in the Salient options panel titled “WooCommerce” which has the option for the AJAX header cart functionality

Cheers

shop section. The 1st row shows 3 columns while the 2nd rows shows 4 columns. How can this be fixed?

https://www.oneheartprint.com/product-category/business-essentials/business-card/name-card-takaful/

Thank you

Hey shahrirh,

What browser are you seeing this occur in? From checking on my end i’m seeing 4 on the first row. You could try adding this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:


.woocommerce ul.products[data-product-style="minimal"] li.product.minimal, 
.woocommerce-page ul.products[data-product-style="minimal"] li.product.minimal {
   width: calc(24.9% - 15px);
}

Hey shahrirh, if that snippet does not work for you, please reach via the contact form on my author page with temporary admin credentials so I can take a closer look https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
