Is it possible to have lazyloading on the list search results page, instead of the different pages for users to click through. thanks

Hey MarcGarner, as of now that would require custom development/the use of a plugin, but i’ve noted the idea on the wishlist.

Thank you

You’re welcome MarcGarner :)

Hi,

I am using WP 5.0.3 and Salient 10.0.1 But i can’t find the Salient WPBakery Page Builder in the Appearance > install plugins tab.

I have no other Version installed. It is completely new installation.

Anyone know the problem?

Problem solved :)

Hey DIIWOO,

Glad to hear you sorted it :)

When using the Envato Market plugin along with the Salient Theme from Theme Forest, after the 12 months support is finished, will Envato Market still notify me that the Salient Theme has an update available or do I need to purchase more support?

Hey stratefx, a current support package is not needed to continue to get Salient updates, one license will provide free updates for life.

Cheers

Great Theme Once Again!

I’m just wondering what would be the best way to change the hamburger menu icon?

Would it be CSS or trying to find the icon?

Thanks!

No problem gdavz,

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


body .lines-button { visibility: hidden; }

.slide-out-widget-area-toggle a { 
background-image: url('YOUR_IMG.png'); 
}

Thanks! It works awesome!

Glad to hear gdavz :)

Hi , After the new Update of WP i cant see or edit pages with Your Visual Composer. What could i do for solve this problem? Thanks a lot.

Hey New_Ra,

You need to be using the latest version of Salient (v10) as well as the latest version of the Salient WPBakery page builder formerly known as Visual Composer (v5.6) in order to ensure WP 5.0 compatibility. Please check out the article we’ve written on the topic here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/

Cheers

Thank You so much! You have solve my “issue”. Have a nice days

Glad I could help New_Ra :)

Having some trouble with the shape dividers, on mobile they don’t go all the way across. I’m using the diagonal ones but when viewing on mobile they go straight towards the end. http://79.170.40.178/foodieflavours2.com/

Any help much appreciated.

Hey MarcGarner,

Add in this as well:


html body .full-width-section > .nectar-shape-divider-wrap {
    margin-left: -51vw;
    left: 50%;
    width: 102vw;
}

Cheers

Awesome, thanks works great.

Cheers MarcGarner

Salient keeps overriding it’s own font sizes on my pages, so h1’s (for example) that are set at 52px, are displaying at like 28px, regardless of how many overrides I try to put in the CSS, e.g. http://roadblip.com/test-post/ . Seems a bit unreasonable to have to pay for more ‘support’ for something that is seemingly a bug :’(

Hey chrispattison,

I’m currently seeing that the font is set to 58px and applying to desktop the font does indeed shrink on mobile devices – is that what you’re referring to or are you seeing a value less than 58px on desktop as well?

hey, in the end I tried exporting, resetting and importing the theme settings but that didn’t work. So I then screenshotted all of them, reset them all and re-enter them manually and that solved it. Took a few hours but got there in the end! I guess some kind of database issue, it is wordpress afterall! ... I think you saw it after I’d already fixed most of the issues, thanks for the response though :)

Hey chrispattison, glad to hear you got it sorted it out.

Have a good weekend :)

Hello I have an important question and although I have a problem with the background in the mobile view, it is totally pixelated or blurry. I understand why, but I do not know what to do to find a better solution. The content area in which the background is also quite large, products are displayed in it and I have already tried with various Css codes to fix the background, as in the desktop version, but this does not work. I have already tried a lot but that does not work, I would rather not just use a colored background, as equal to the desktop version would be great. do you have any advice? How big must the picture be, so that it is displayed normally or simply fixed? This is how it looks on the desktop view, just as it should be: https://snag.gy/AaDnIr.jpg And so in the mobile view: https://snag.gy/nWaQel.jpg

What can I do to fix the background, is there any possibility or trick? I would be incredibly thankful for any support many thanks!!

Hello,

Thank you very much for the quick reply! Since the site is currently under maintenance and the page in question is a shop page, unfortunately I could not exclude the shop page with the plugin. But it works for a test page: https://www.living-soulful.com/test-page/

I’ve used the content the same way it is on the shop page, if you scroll down, you’ll see products with a background in the content area, this one is about. In the mobile view, the background is not fixed, totally pixelated or blurry. In the desktop mode, of course, everything is wonderfully visible. Regardless of whether it’s on the shop page or not, I generally have background issues, so if more content is included, the background will naturally get more and more ‘zoomed in’, or just pixelated. Unfortunately I do not know any advice to fix the background a little bit. With little content, of course, I have absolutely no problems.

Maybe you have some advice or an idea to fix the background or to look more beautiful in the mobile view.

Many thanks for the support !!

Hey RaffaelaChiara, thanks for sharing that. Unfortunately since background-position:fixed is disabled in mobile browsers it would be hard to workaround that https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23236158/how-to-replicate-background-attachment-fixed-on-ios

One possible solution is to make use of the option “Background Image Mobile Hidden” when editing your rows which have this to simply remove it on mobile devices and use a solid BG color instead. You can also test out using other speeds for the background parallax such as “slow”, “fast” etc. those will continue to work on all devices

Hello,

Thank you, unfortunately, nothing helped, see here an example: https://www.shopkristhecat.com/shop On all sides the background is fixed, especially in the mobile view, how is that possible? As far as I can see the site provider ’’ Wix ’’ is used. But what if I set a body / page background for one side, then the same problem is also in the mobile view? What if you do not put a background in a row section, but a background for the whole page? Can not that be fixed? For example, this css code works, but even with codes to fix the background does not work. body. container-wrap {    background-image: url (’.....’); }

Total pixelated and the same course in the mobile view. Unfortunately, I have not seen any function in the salient theme settings to set a page background, just header backgrounds. I’ve seen so many pages that they use page backgrounds that look quite normal in the mobile view, do you know how that’s possible? Maybe you can add that for the next update, because that’s a really important tool to be able to work proffesionally too.

I hope you still have some advice? Many many hanks for your help!!

Pleaae can someone get back to me urgently regarding ticket number#1883205 and #1883213. The fonts/icons /menus/layouts etc and lots of other issues are not correct on most broswers and this needs to be fixed asap. Please can someone respond? Many thanks

After wriring a long detailed issue of my problem I get a responce sayiing ‘Must be a caching issue’ from Tahir.

This isnt a CACHING issue, as we have deleted the cache.

There is no advice or help whatsoever and its quite obvious this issues wasn’t checked properly.

If you have support which we have to pay for, please actaully support us, not give a 3 word answer saying it ‘must’ be this, when it isnt.

Can someone else please check this ticket please from your support that we have just paid for, currently we are not getting proper detailed answers or support.

Hey pbmlimited, I took a look over your tickets earlier today in regards. Thanks for your patience

Hello,

How can I make one column for my portfolio template and pages? Looking to have one very wide image per row.

www.jordantparrott.com

Thanks.

Hey VisionRover,

When setting the portfolio element to “2 columns”, add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:


body .row .portfolio-items .col img { max-width: none; width: 100%; }

.portfolio-items .col.span_6, .portfolio-items[data-ps="6"] .col.span_6 {
 width: 100%!important;
}

Thanks. Worked. Now I just need the front page to do the same:

Category pages: http://www.jordantparrott.com/project-type/narrative/ Home: http://www.jordantparrott.com

The Home page has the portfolio in the the Page Builder Element. It is set at 2 column portfolio.

Hey VisionRover,

I’m seeing that on your home page there is only a recent projects element using the fullscreen slider and no regular portfolio element: http://www.jordantparrott.com/ Is that the correct URL?

I need help with some custom CSS in the header. I need to change the “Featured Listings” and “Sold Listings in my navigation header to bold font. I have tried to override the CSS but haven’t been successful yet.

The site is: http://johncashin.com/

Hey warcowan,

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


header#top nav >ul >li:nth-child(2) > a, header#top nav >ul >li:nth-child(3) > a {
  font-weight: 700;
}

Hi, I want to display one row on desktop and another version on mobile. Did that on the responsive options, however the desktop version is set as full height and still appears on mobile. If I remove the full height option it disappears on mobile, but I want to keep it full height on desktop. Is it possible to fix? Thanks

Hey fredmkt,

As of now that would require giving the row itself a class name e.g. “mobile-hidden” and then 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: 1000px) {
.mobile-hidden { display: none; }
}

Cheers

I updated Wordpress and my plugins, and suddenly the Salient theme visual editor components appear as a long, solid block of text?

The visual editor where it lets you add new elements or components still appears, but it now appears at the bottom of this huge block of text (and it says I have a “blank page” – none of the previous work I built is showing up as visual elements anymore. Thus, I can’t even edit or update that content.

Has anyone else run into this?

(TL/DR: the website itself appears online just fine, but the editor components are all gone and appear only as text).

Hey aashishkjha, you also need to update your version of Salient to the current release (v10.0.1) as well as your Salient WPBakery Page Builder to the current release (5.6) in order to have WP 5.0 compatibility. http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/

Hi – I am using meta overlaid with zoom effect on hover. The overlay is working on my computer but doesn’t seem to be working on mobile which makes it pretty difficult to read the portfolio titles. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hey AkeatsKes,

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


.portfolio-items .col .work-item.style-3 .work-info-bg {
 opacity: 0.45!important;
}

.portfolio-items .col:hover .work-item.style-3 .work-info-bg {
 opacity: 0.2!important;
}

Cheers :)

thanks!

You’re welcome AkeatsKes :)

Hi there,

Can you tell me how i can make a portfolio view like this:

http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-minimal-portfolio/

I can not find this anywhere.

What settings do i need to use?https://www.useloom.com/share/ecde1a77874e4fa897025d1a81de708e

Hey ruimdenker,

Here are the settings for that portfolio instance: https://ibb.co/VwTRQgL When using the masonry option, you can then define the masonry sizes per project with the “Masonry Item Sizing” option in each edit project > project configuration metabox.

Cheers

how to add tags to portfolio pages?

Hey Nicko_217, by default there are no tags for the portfolio post type. You would need to edit the nectar/helpers/portfolio.php file in regards and then query for the tags within the portfolio post type as needed.

Loving version 10

I’ve noticed that whenever updating between versions, plugins (menu plugins etc.) will often loose their settings in the ‘WP Customize’ area, and it appears to be theme-side. Is there a way to avoid this?

Hey ND81, thanks for clarifying – next update give the Envato market plugin a shot http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/

Will do, thanks

Also, is there anyway for your ‘Down Arrow’ function on the Salient slideshow to work with the ‘Full Screen Page Rows’ display (i.e. clicking takes the user to the next panel)?

Hey ND81,

As of version 10, you can add a call to action page builder element and then select the “next section button” style for that.

Cheers

Hi Guys,

Not exactly a support question but a feature request.

When are we going to see some multi-speed parallax effects like this on salient? https://curenails.co/

We have been using salient for the better part of two years now! Always loved the quality of the product and the support. Thanks!

Hey bachuramadhikari,

Thanks for the request! I’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist :)

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar,

My support has expired, but I was hoping you might be able to help me out with one question.

I am using a plugin named ScrollMagic to add some scroll effects to my website. So far, so good. I have run into a roadblock when I try to manipulate the background image of a row.

The row is full-width, full-height and I have loaded the background image through visual composer. I am trying to input the selectors into ScrollMagic so the background image only will zoom in on scroll (I am using scale to do this), but not any of the elements/text that I have added to the row. Currently I am able to get it to zoom in on scroll, but all of the elements in the row zoom equally.

Can you let me know what selector(s) I would use to target only the background image?

Thanks very much!

Hey newb80,

The background layer within each row can be selected with

.row-bg-wrap .row-bg

Cheers

Thank you very much, that did it!

Glad I could help newb80 :)

Hi!

I have some questions concerning this theme.

1. How do I get rid of the background color of the menu hover and current item? I tried several css elements, but nothing seems to work out. See https://www.multibier.nl.

2. How to translate the text, e.g. ‘Next Post’, ‘Category’, on the blog pages? I edited these texts with the plugin Loco Translate, but that didn’t change a thing. See a single blog item on https://www.multibier.nl/actueel/.

I hope to hear from you. Many thanks!

Hey totallysandra :)

1. In the Salient options panel > Header navigation > animation effects, select “color change” for the option “Header Link Hover/Active Effect”

2. In the plugin settings (Loco Translate > Themes > Salient > Advanced) Did you set the “nectar_salient_strings.pot” as you template file to generate the .po from?

Cheers
