Hey tmanschap, that demo will score lower due to the large amount of images being used, where as a demo such as the recent portfolio one will be higher:

The newer Google pagespeed score highly weighs in the use of next generation image formats which are not common practice just yet. So the more images you have on your page that are not using those, the higher hit you’ll get to the score calculated. Other score calculators like Gtmetrix don’t do this. However, there are free plugins out there which will convert your images into the next gen formats such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/webp-express/ – I would give that a shot

HI Themenectar we started using webp-express on viewpointecenter[dot]com/virtual-offices-las-vegas/ but we are seeing little improvement. Mobile site speed score is still around 22. Any other ideas?

We have caching configured as well, but there is still a surprising difference between the desktop and mobile sites.

It seems that your portfolio demo only scores high on mobile because it has little content at all. I should be able to use the full theme features and still score a decent ranking with google for mobile.

Update: It seems that activating Woocommerce alone crashes the site. Activating Nextgen alone gets a white screen.

(This is while WPB is active).

Hey artblend, blank white screens point to a fatal error that will be logged in your PHP error log. Please check that out (if you’re unfamiliar with it, your hosting company will be able to assist) and look for what fatal errors are occurring so we can get to the root of your issue

Cheers

Hey Cobawsky,

Did you use the “nectar_salient_strings.pot” to generate your own .po file? If so, could you also let me know what version you’re using of the theme?

Thanks in advance

Yes I did use that file.

The version I probably old. I may have bought it on 2014 or something like that. What should I do then?

Hey Cobawsky, if you do not want to update the theme, could you share the page URL where the string is located so I can see which instance of it you’re trying to find to point you to the correct file?

Thanks in advance

I tried to update following the instructions on your website but now I have two template on my theme list and I don’t know which one to use.

Anyway, this is the URL https://historiamilitaronline.com.br/

And the button I want to translate is the “read article” over the Nectar Slider on near the header.

Hey Consi,

You can set anything you want to display as the BG on the actual row element which holds the recent project element

I know that, but its not the overall background, it just happens when the page loads the first time, the image is black at first using the Project Style full screen zoom slider , i want it white or transparent. this is the site tdsclients.com

thank you

Hey jdredman, if you’re referring to the settings in the typography > responsive settings tab, the line height should scale down at the same % as the actual font size. Can you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look?

Thanks

answersbc.org – on mobile you can see the line height is larger than it should be. Thanks!

Hey jdredman, thanks for sharing your URL

For now, 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) {
  body .wpb_wrapper h2.vc_custom_heading {
     line-height: 30px!important;
  }
}

Cheers

hello, I tried that and it is not working. It looks like dynamic-combined.css has important on line height. any other ideas?
