Hi,

I just wanted to highlight that your video Lightbox isn’t responsive on larger monitor sizes and appears with a white box: https://snag.gy/GjLPEo.jpg

Is there any way we can fix this or it will be amended in a future theme update?

Hi, please come back to us on how to fix this.

Also, just about to send you a link to our site where we have another issue. For some reason the mobile menu isn’t showing the actual menu items.

Hey Micatuca,

1. I have not had a chance to test on that resolution yet since I don’t have a retina desktop display for Mac on hand, i’ve noted it for the next release which will be out in February

2. Please do share your URL so I can take a look.

Hi ThemeNectar,

Did you manage to fix the issue with your video lightbox not displaying right on large monitors?

Hi I’ve updated to latest version of WPML plugin and Salient and now arabic version is a mess! I’ve talked with WPML support team and they said I have to talk with you because is a theme bug with rtl.

Hey popoimagen, I’ll be adding the fix for those items into the current beta. If you’d like a copy before the next release, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Cheers

Email sent :) (Is it possible to hide my client’s website written on previous messages? Thanks!

Hey popoimagen, I responded to your email earlier today :)

Hello,

I’m not sure it’s a bug or I do something wrong, but I turn ON Activate Fullscreen Rows and Page Footer I pick Default Footer. But there is no footer shown.

Here’s the link: https://iceiceicy.com/causeeffect/

Hey effective_advisory,

It looks like a plugin you’re using is adding some extra markup which is likely preventing the footer from showing https://ibb.co/nz96bMQ if you can remove that, it should fix the issue

Cheers

I found the culprit plugin. Thank you!

You’re welcome effective_advisory :)

Why are the Blog “next post” and “previous post” the wrong way around? Next post should be a newer one, and last post an older one. Salient has it the wrong way! See any of your demo sites, such as:

http://preview.themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266

Hey rednosemonkey,

Within that function, look for the lines:

$previous_post = get_next_post();
$next_post     = get_previous_post();

and alter them to be:

$previous_post = get_previous_post();
$next_post     = get_next_post();

If you would like assistance with this, kindly open a ticket on our support forum in regards with temporary admin credentials: https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Thanks in advance

Thank you! This is what I ended up doing. It is useful to get your confirmation that this is the easiest way. For anyone else reading this thread, I’ll quickly outline how to make this update proof. Copy this function to your child themes functions.php file and rename it (you can’t call 2 functions with the same name). Then change the 2 places that this function is called in the single.php file, to the new name you gave it in your functions.php. And save this new singles.php in your child theme. This way the function is called from your child theme, and the function is in your child themes functions.php. Any updates to Salient will not affect the changes.

Thanks for sharing that for anyone else who may come across it rednosemonkey :)

Hi ThemeNectar, can the new Category Grid element be sorted in any way otehr than alphabetical? If not would this feature be in an upcoming release?

Hey yzhang747,

As of now it would require custom development, however I’ve noted a +1 for adding an option for this

Cheers

Hello,

Seems like the “Excerpt Length” function doesn’t work, I’m using the element “Blog” with layout “Standard Blog No Sidebar” but the excerpt length still showing 30 words – It doesn’t change like what I’ve set in the Salient Options. How to fix this? Note: I’m using the lastest version (10.0.1)

Thanks much!

Also, is there a “custom excerpt” option that I could set manually on specific posts? Many thanks!

Update: I found the “custom excerpt” on post editor.

Hey hkunkun, which standard blog style are you using? i.e. “classic”, “minimal” or “featured image left”?

Thanks in advance

Hey Nectar! Recently I had one of my clients give me amazing feedback that had me seriously questioning my branding ability.

He said he adores us and our work but he feels like we may be positioning ourselves wrong.

We are starting to drift away from helping small business and working towards building relationships with larger to medium sized business’s.

He said on our homepage that the homepage design and wording is confusing – https://www.lnbbroductions.com/

We look like a web design firm but it doesn’t highlight what we do really really well which was for him – Super responsive, amazing customer service, fast service, overall speed, and the biggest one of all is in his words “legitimization”.

He said you made us legit. Before our company looked terrible online and as a medium sized business selling high end products we have to look amazing.

The website before would lose us clients because they didn’t think we were real. Not anymore.”

Here is their website – https://imagine-4d.com/

After thinking about it, I agree.

In your opinion what can we do to really make us stand out as agency to use the fullest extent of the theme and messaging?

I apologize for the lengthy message but I had to reach out since I really think we are on the verge of doing something great in Austin with this. Please help and let me know your thoughts.

Hey lnbbroductions :)

Your site looks good – it seems as though you’re already making use of some of the latest features such as the material skin/new off canvas menu which is cool. I would recommend spicing up the “How we can help” section and expand those static icons + text to be fancy boxes such as we’ve down on the main promo page: https://ibb.co/3FmwJsw

I also like the imagine 4d site a lot, it looks great!

Hi guys, is it possible for the category description to be under the product list?

Hey radekcho, as of now that would require custom modding however I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist.

Cheers

I have searched the comments and tried everything to remove the white space at the bottom of the page. Screenshot shared here https://ibb.co/gm8Nn4d

Thanks wclock01,

There’s a CSS snippet which is causing it that Salient is not adding:

body {
    margin: 0;
    position: relative;
    margin-bottom: 150px;
}

If you’re not sure of where that’s coming from, it’s probably a plugin. Once that’s removed the issue will be sorted.

Cheers

Thanks!

You’re welcome wclock01 :)

Hi guys,

May be answered already but when I tried to search I had 191 pages of results… Thought it would be easier to ask.

On this page: https://connectingbrands.pt/produtos/

How can I translate the next page button on the bottom of the page. I’m using Loco translate plugin.

Thanks

Hey DigitSigma, I just did a test translation on that string to verify it should allow for translating:

https://ibb.co/Y2WVBNJ https://ibb.co/PCCJKw0

Checking out your stylesheet, the modifications you made could be effecting it – namely the “Text Domain: connectingbrands” at the top. Did you modify that anywhere else within the theme?

Hi There,

Thanks for your suggestion. I have uploaded an original theme and using a child theme now pointing to the Salient folder as a template. The translation that I mentioned above – “Next” is now accessible and I can see it.

I still have another string that I would like to translate, but I can’t locate it in Loco translate. On the main page – https://connectingbrands.pt/inicio/, category display with images. When you hover it says a number of products on that category. The string “products” is not present in Loco translate. I can’t locate it…

Is there something I’m missing?

Thanks

Hey DigitSigma,

I’ve noted to add this string into the .pot file in the next update, for now you can search for it in nectar/nectar-vc-addons/nectar-addons.php file in the function called “nectar_grid_item_markup”

Cheers

Hi and thanks for your amazing theme, which just keeps getting better and better!

I have hit a problem with the image carousel – I would like to show both vertical and horisontal images – but aligned at the same height! When I add both types now, the horisontal images are scaled to fit the width of the vertical ones instead.

Is there maybe a simple css-trick to add this functionality (same height instead of width)?

thank you so much, Maria

Hey MaFyNo, sorry I missed that!

Add this in to fix that:


@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
body .nectar-flickity:not(.masonry) .flickity-slider .cell img {
    max-width: none!important;
}
}

Fantastic! That did it Thank you so very much again!

Glad to hear MaFyNo :)

Is it possible to move the ‘heading’ and ‘caption’ more the the left hand corner of the slide when using the left hand horixontal alignement option? SO I want less space to the left of the heading/caption and below it?

Hey alisonleon, please share the URL of the page in question so I can take a look.

Thanks in advance

Hi, what header is used in this demo

http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate-creative/#discover

I want to have cover image and overlay on it just like this demo.

Hey adiojack, you can find that section within the Salient Studio template library within the “hero section” tab. It’s titled “Creative Header With Shape Divider”.

Cheers

Hi! Since I updated Salient, our website will not load the first time I open it and shows the loading circle forever. I disabled Page Transitions and now I can see that the content + css does load, but the scripts only load after Refresh. Favicon keeps on loading as well.

Hey rowandg, no matter how many times I try with new tabs or new windows I can’t seem to get this to occur. Are you also seeing it happen with the Salient demos?

Weird.. good to hear it works on your end of course. Salient demo’s work fine as well. Strange thing is, my co-worker can replicate the problem on his PC as well. mobile works fine though. It occurred right after updating everything (WP 5 / Salient 10 / WPBakery 5.6). WPBakery Front-end editor is broken as well, it only shows a white overlay with bakery logo… maybe something went wrong with the update process?

Hey rowandg,

If you’re using rocket loader from cloudflare, that will prevent the front end editor from working. Please disable that feature: https://help.mediavine.com/conflicts/cloudflare-rocket-loader-conflict

Since the new update with Salient, I can no longer edit with Salient visual page builder on any of my existing pages. Also, on mobile devices my home page comes out incomplete (front page does not show images etc). I have looked into all my plug ins to cover all my bases. How do I go about fixing this issue?

Hey cvaagen, have you also updated your version of the WPBakery page builder to the latest (v5.6)?

If so, please share your actual URL in regards so I can take a look at what’s occurring closer.

Thanks in advance

I have Salient WP Bakery Page Builder Version 5.5.2. It does not have an option to update, unless I pay for WP Bakery Page Builder. Is there a way around this, considering it came with the Salient theme?

my website: www.freelotusflower.com

Hey cvaagen, if you’re using v10 of Salient and not seeing the page builder update, please reach out via the contact form on my author page with temporary admin credentials so I can take a closer look https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks in advance

Hello. I have updated to the latest version, but I still cannot save any of the content block. What should I do? Really frustrating.

Hey Joagvr, if you’ve verified that no third party plugins you may have active are causing this, Please reach out via the contact form on my author page with temporary admin credentials so I can take a look https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks in advance

Hi guys,

What do you use for your tabs? I need to modify the JS of them slightly, I thought they used jQuery UI but doesn’t appear to?

Thanks

Hey kleverthemes,

The tabs are not using any framework, the scripting for it is located inside the js/init.js file – you can run a search for the comment
****** Tabbed ********
to end up at the right section.

Cheers

Thank you very much

You’re welcome kleverthemes :)

I have found another bug with the new version of the theme. On iPad devices you cannot scroll to the bottom of the page, you can see this in all your demos, for example. http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate-creative/

You will realize that it cuts out the button and everything after it (footer, etc) iPad pro cuts out even more.

Hey peterstavrou,

I just tried to replicate in landscape and portrait views on an iPad/iPad pro but have not been able to see that occur yet https://ibb.co/c6Mm0sD https://ibb.co/YLvk6fd

Does this happen for you every load or only sometimes? Also, does it happen to you when the footer reveal effect is turned off e.g.

http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate/

Hi! I had asked about the font size of mainpage. I got answer of you guys. That’s not working. Can I get the another thing to do?

Hey gdlsbeck,

To alter the font size on a fullscreen header you’ll need to add the following into the css:

body.single:not(.material) #page-header-bg.fullscreen-header h1 {
    font-size: 60px !important;
    line-height: 70px !important;
}

Cheers

Thank you for reply!

You’re welcome gdlsbeck :)
