Why is it so difficult to use Revolution Slider + Transparent header? all the custom code, extra CSS, etc and I still can’t get it to work.

I also can’t find where to change the default top & bottom padding of menu items to tighten up that spacing.

Hey rockstar47,

1. When using the option to force the transparent header effect available in the page header metabox, there should be no issue https://ibb.co/S3913wc Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look why that’s not working on your setup

2. You can adjust the padding top/bottom padding in the Salient options panel > header navigation > logo & general styling with the “Header Padding” field. (It will default to “28” when left blank)

Hi,

I have to make some changes in the file: salient/nectar/helpers/portfolio.php

When I make my changes in the parent theme, it works fine, but when I try it in my child theme: salient-child/nectar/helpers/portfolio.php nothing happens !

FYI, my function file in my child theme is:

<?php add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘salient_child_enqueue_styles’); function salient_child_enqueue_styles() { $nectar_theme_version = nectar_get_theme_version(); wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ’/style.css’, array(‘font-awesome’), $nectar_theme_version); if ( is_rtl() ) wp_enqueue_style( ‘salient-rtl’, get_template_directory_uri(). ’/rtl.css’, array(), ‘1’, ‘screen’ ); } ?>

Any idea ? Thanks in advance … and happy new year ! ;-)

Hey wordpress-man, I just located an issue with that specific function in the parent theme which would prevent a child theme override. I’ve added the fix to the current beta to make it into the next release, however to sort it for now, open up the nectar/helpers/portfolio.php file and change the line:

if ( ! function_exists( 'project_single_control' ) ) {

to be

if ( ! function_exists( 'project_single_controls' ) ) {

the word “controls” is missing the “s” in the current version.

Cheers :)

Hi !

Yes, I noticed that, but as I’m not a coder, I was not sure if that was voluntary or a mistake.

I guess that we helped each other on that case ;-)

Thanks, it now works perfectly with no errors !

Glad to hear wordpress-man! :)

Cheers

Hi, A suggestion for future updates: More control over the shop category pages would be great, such as the layout of the header, header image, title and category description. I have previously used the Mr Tailor theme, this has great designs for shop category pages, something like that would be fantastic. Thanks

Hey MarcGarner,

Thanks for the requests. Just to note, you can already customize the product category page header images on a category by category basis by editing your categories in Products > Categories

Cheers

Hi, yes although it is more the layout which would be great to edit. Also if there was an option to add a button on the reverse side of the “flip box” element that would be very helpful for links. thanks

Thanks for the further clarification MarcGarner :)

1. I have spent many hours trying to make this work but not sure what is wrong with the theme that the columns aren’t lining up. I just copied the code snippet from your docs. But as you can see my third column isn’t aligned with the rest. It’s kinda popping up… https://www.screencast.com/t/1FUkNgKeR 2. Also the input fields are not clickable! What can be wrong there? Please test it here https://zebo.io/docs

2. Also I noticed a bug: the disable row doesn’t work anymore which was really frustrating as I had to go through all my pages and delete all disabled rows as they were suddenly showing!

3. Your site says there is now a visual editor which is a relief but there is no visual editor for my site. How do I get that? Will it be compatible with elementor pro?

Hey nkhanani,

1a. Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab to fix the clickable issue you’re seeing:


.wpcf7-form p { clear: both; }

1b. There seems to be some custom CSS in your setup causing top/bottom padding for text fields, but not email fields which is why the three are misaligned:

.container-wrap input[type="text"] {
    margin: 10px 0 15px 0!important;
}

2. I can’t replicate this issue with the latest versions, can you 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

3. Yes, the front-end editor was added in v10. Please ensure you’re using that as well as the latest Salient WPBakery page builder: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-general/

Thanks. 1 and 2 manage to fix those issues but now nothing submits!

Infact NOW NONE OF THE CONTACT FORMS on my website are submitting. I’ve deactivated all plugins one by one, deleted and readded and changed the custom css and nothing works. PLEASE HELP!!

How is anyone supposed to contact me on my site?? This is so upsetting I CANNOT BELIEVE how difficult and insanely frustrating this theme is. I use elementor pro for ALL my clients and it takes 2 days MAXIMUM to launch a site. Here two years, 1354643634 hours and $$$$$$$$ later my site is still broken and new things breaking everyday! PLEASE HELP!

is this theme compatible with php 7.3?

Hey digital-foundry,

The WPBakery page builder still has a couple known issues with 7.3, their development team is currently working on compatibility: https://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-page-builder-for-wordpress/242431/comments?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=7.3&from_buyers_and_authors_only=0

hello how i can style and change Fancy Box Border colors or radius etc,?

Hey muelta7an,

That would require custom css. I’d be glad to provide you an example snippet if you can share your URL in regards

Cheers

Please respond to ticket #1831010 thanks

Hey danzara, I took a look earlier today in regards.

Cheers

Noted and have also responded. If you can review it that would be great. cheers

Hello, I’m trying to add a top banner to the website with a fixed position, but it overlaps the fixed header. hopefully there is a way for the top bar to push content/header down? Thanks

Hey odi92, you would need to push the header navigation down to the neede px amount with the following CSS:


body #header-outer { top: 40px!important; }

Hi, Thanks for your answer. I tried this option, but I have two problems with that: - the banner I want to add has an option to close and reopen it, so I need the #header-outer to be dynamic positioned by the banner. - It’s good as a temporary solution, but as I won’t always have banners, I don’t want to change the css every time I do add one. Thanks

Hey odi92,

Since the Salient header is a fixed position, there’s no way for it automatically calculate the top offset from another element without with javascript

I am having issue with rtl site. it does not show correctly. site uses Arabic language, and the coulmns should be aligned right to left.

The logo position now is to the left, also the rows aligned left to right. I notice that in mobile view, the rows are ordered correctly but in desktop they are reversed.

your theme should support rlt as mentioned, and there is an rtl css file. So, why theme not working correctly with rtl languages??.

Hey molhem,

Can you please share your actual URL so I can take a closer look at your setup in order to assist?

Thanks in advance

Hey guys!

I’d really appreciate your help with regards of the translation of my page. So far I have done everything you explain in here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/translations/. I set Spanish as my Site Language (it was already set, actually). I located the .po file and used poedit to translate. I saved the new file as es_ES.po, as required, under the lang folder. I believe that should be it, right? But the file doesn’t get called on my site. Any ideas on what may I have done wrong?

Regards!

Hey cristoferfp!

Did you also include the es_ES.mo in your lang directory?

Hi! Yes, I included both the es_ES.po and the es_ES.mo archives in my lang directory.

Hey cristoferfp,

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

Why do all bg image attachments scale? We do not have much control over bg attachments, I want to keep the image in a normal size, but the theme automatically scales it and makes everything blurry. Can you add controls for bg attachments? I am sure everyone will appreciate this. I did a search and find a lot of people are having issues with bg images and there are a lot of questions asked here.

Can we have options for:

background-size: Fixed, cover, contain. Also, options to adjust these with px and % values.

background-position: Values to adjust by % and px

thanks

Hey toolbox101, i’ve noted the idea on the wishlist. Thanks for the requests

Cheers

Hola. Ya no tengo soporte, pero no es una duda lo que tengo. Tengo activado el menú secundario y en el ordenador aparece perfectamente. ¿Por qué no aparece en el móvil? En el móvil aparece dentro del menú principal. No entiendo por qué no activan un menú secundario para los móviles. Actualmente se utiliza más el móvil que el ordenador de sobremesa y si quiero poner un menú secundario es por algo. No me vale que se me vaya al final del menú principal. Creo que, con lo maravilloso que es este tema, esto no lo tienen bien solucionado. Veo por los comentarios que se lo están solicitando ¿Cuando van a dar una solución? En otros temas que utilizo tienen en el menú del panel de control un apartado responsive para poder elegir el tipo de menú para móvil, entre otras cosas. Lo hecho en falta en su tema. Disculpen las molestias. Gracias

Hi. I no longer have support, but it is not a doubt what I have. I have activated the secondary menu and it appears perfectly on the computer. Why does not it appear on the mobile? On the mobile it appears inside the main menu. I do not understand why they do not activate a secondary menu for mobile phones. Currently the mobile is used more than the desktop computer and if I want to put a secondary menu is for something. I do not have to leave the end of the main menu. I think that, with how wonderful this topic is, this has not been solved well. I see the comments that are asking for it. When will they give a solution? In other topics that I use have in the control panel menu a responsive section to choose the type of mobile menu, among other things. What is missing from his subject. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you

Hey digrafo,

You can get the secondary menu to appear above the main header navigation instead of being moved to the mobile menu by adding 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 body.original #header-secondary-outer, html body.ascend #header-secondary-outer, html body.material #header-secondary-outer {
    display: block;
    height: auto!important;
}

html body #slide-out-widget-area .inner .off-canvas-menu-container.mobile-only .menu.secondary-header-items { display: none; }

}

Cheers

Hello, could you tell me how I can increase the image resolution in the WooCommerce archive (product pages)? So when there is an overview of product images I find them rather blurry. I’d like to make them a bit higher quality.

How can I do this?

Hey dzineee,

That can be handled in the WordPress Customizer > WooCommerce settings – take a look at this article in regards: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/fixing-blurry-product-images/

Cheers

Hello, thank you. I have looked into this. However, it says that after WooCommerce 3.3 the theme should automatically make it correct. The proposed solution does not work anymore as those settings are gone.

It should be within the Salient Theme automatically. Is there a more specific manual for Salient theme? Or why it this not done automatic? Have you heard this complaint more often?

source: https://woocommerce.wordpress.com/2017/12/09/wc-3-3-will-look-great-on-all-the-themes/

Hey dzineee,

As of WooCommerce 3.3, they now provide extensive support for any custom image aspect ratio. Salient does not force any particular size since WooCommerce will automatically regenerate/crop your images as you define within the settings, however the default values are assigned in the nectar_woocommerce_image_dimensions function inside of salient/nectar/helpers/woocommerce.php

Please share your actual URL in regards so I can take a look at your current settings

Thanks in advance

how to square thumbnail images on feature image post?

Please help

Thanks

Hey trygothic,

Can you share your URL so I can see what blog settings you’re using?

Thanks in advance

Hi, in admin menu we can set Menu Item Spacing, but the minimum value is 8. How we can set to 5?

And, if we use nav to display social icons, how we can reduce icon size to 15 px, and reduce space between social icons?

Thanks

Hey CAPBCN,

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


#header-outer[data-lhe="default"] header#top nav > ul > li > a {
  padding-left: 5px;
  padding-right: 5px;
}

body #header-outer[data-lhe="animated_underline"] header#top nav > ul > li > a {
   margin-left: 5px;
   margin-right: 5px;
}

Hi there,

While everything was perfectly fine and working, i received below message and i think it s about the theme:

Warning: is_readable(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(D:\vhosts\klarnettamiri.com\http\1/wp-content/plugins/D:/vhosts/klarnettamiri.com/http/1/wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/redux-framework/ReduxCore/languages/redux-framework-tr_TR.mo) is not within the allowed path(s): (D:\vhosts\klarnettamiri.com\) in D:\vhosts\klarnettamiri.com\http\1\wp-includes\l10n.php on line 632 Warning: is_readable(): open_basedir restriction in effect.

I asked the same question to my hosting provider and they told me the problem is with the theme. So can you help me about it?

Hey aylak, Can you kindly let me know some more information as to when this error starting occurring on your end? I.e. was it just recently or have you always seen it since you starting using Salient?

I ve been using the same theme since the last 7 months but I am getting that error message for the last 1 month

Hey aylak, thanks for the clarification – because the error is relating to “Warning: is_readable(): open_basedir restriction in effect.” I would need to check further on the server config to assist. 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

Is there posibility to put video in slider which is not opening in the other window but directly on the website? I wonder about buy Salient theme for my animation portfolio.

Hey Kajecik,

The Nectar Slider allows for an optional video background on each slide. If you’re trying to embed a video player instead, an embed code could be pasted into the content area

Hello I would like to ask why every single image has the .skip-lazy class. This interferes with all of the lazy loading plugins. Is there is way to disable this functionality?

Hey mybusiness360, the skip-lazy class was added to prevent the layout issues caused by using elements that require JS for calculations. I’ve noted to remove that by default on the “single image” element inside of the page builder for the next update since now it’s not necessary in the current release

Artstation – icon is now officially part of the Font awesome. Considering this is now finally implemented pretty please update the font and the Social media’ tab under ‘Salient’ WP administration. https://forkawesome.github.io/Fork-Awesome/icon/artstation/ Thank you!

Hey moth3r,

I’ve noted it on the to-do list :)

Cheers

Cannot wait till it lands! After all these years you are still the best!

Thanks a lot for your kind words moth3r, glad you’re still enjoying the theme :)

Hello! I have 2 questions related to gallery:

1. How I can display thumbnails under Nectar Gallery slider? I need super basic classic slider-gallery with thumbnail bottom view.

2. On mobile screen Bullet Navigation breaking into 2 lines if I have many images in Nectar gallery slider. It not looks nice and covering small image with many bullet dots which looks very strange. How to fix it? Let’s say display only limited number of bullets etc.

thanks

Hey SiamNinja,

1. Unfortunately there’s no slider built into Salient that offers gallery controls like that, it would require a plugin as of now

2. If can you kindly share your URL, i’d be glad to provide you a snippet :)

Cheers
