Hello Support,

I just purchased Salient, and I am having a lot of fun with it! I am having a couple of issues though.

1. In mobile view my header title “Only Page Turners” isn’t centered it’s all the way to the left and cut in half. Also I have it set for the text to be white, but on the mobile view it is black. On the desktop it looks fine. Text is white and centered. How do I get it to do the same in mobile view?

2. My H1 which says “Here Are The Best Fiction Books Of All Time” I would like to edit that but I can’t find where to edit it.

http://www.onlypageturners.com

Any help would be appreciated!

Hey Revraptor25128, I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the theme :)

1. 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: 1000px) and (min-width: 1px) {

html body #header-outer[data-permanent-transparent="false"] header#top #logo.no-image {
    color: #fff!important;
    transform: none;
}

body header#top .col.span_3 {
    width: 100%!important;
    text-align: center;
}

}

2. That text should be located in the page header settings metabox in your edit page screen at the bottom. If you’re not seeing it there, could you kindly open a ticket on our support forum in regards with temporary admin credentials so we can take a closer look into this: https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Thanks in advance

Hello. When the next update?

Hey Rivenverse, we’re still aiming for the end of this month.

I know my support has ended, if needed I can buy another license. My problem is this: I need a hidden row in which to insert portfolio items, row which can be opened at the press of a button. That I have managed to do with a bit of Js. The issue is that the portfolio items seem to be stacked one on top of the other. I am sure this is a quite simple Js trick for someone who knows better, unfortunately that is not me. Can you provide a code for the recalculating of elements that have been hidden on page load? Would appreciate and as I said before, I am willing to pay a new support license. Thanks, Alex

Hey Alex,

Inside of the open event for your button, trigger a window resize so that it can recalculate like so:


jQuery(window).trigger('resize');

Cheers

Hi,

i’m trying to translate term “Read Article” in Recent Post element using Loco Translate plugin, but it’s not working. I was looking for some solutions here, but none of them are actually working in my case. Can please help me with that, pls?

Cheers,

Hey mchlprs, please open a ticket on our support forum in regards with temporary admin credentials so we can take a closer look into this: https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Hi,

I’m using the Google Page Speed to check the performance of my site and the page speed.

If I use the Salient theme the results are: Mobile: 37 Desktop 71

If I switch to the WP default theme Twenty Nineteen the results are: Mobile: 84 Desktop 97

This means that the results depend mainly on the theme. Is there any possibility to improve these results using the Salient theme ?

Thanks, Francesco

Hey Francesco,

Salient loads more JS/CSS than a default WP theme, and those assets need to be minified and combined for speed optimization. Here are the docs in regards http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/performance-optimization-guide/

Thank you for your reply.

In the doc you say to use W3 Total Cache. I already use another plugin (WP Fastest Cache) for caching and minification.

I will check if I can improve the performances modifying some configurations.

Cheers

No problem smartlabitalia

I would like to drop a few suggestions for the Wishlist…

A full-width page option (like Avada)

Color header bars (or black) for each individual Row

A title area for each Row. Would like to be able to see which Row ID I’m looking for without having to click to open and scroll to the bottom of the row just to find the row’s name/ID.

A 6-column footer option that I don’t have to rig through the footer.php file.

Hey arteest,

thanks for the requests, i’ve noted them on the wishlist.

Hello, Is it possible to remove , or replace , to . in ‘count to value milestone’ e.g 9,000 into 9.000 to adapt to eu decimals. Thanks

Hey salvix, to display numbers like that you would need to set the milestone element to the “motion blur slide in” Animation Effect.

Cheers

Not sure if it’s a bug or hidden padding, but something is compressing the width of the site on mobile (via Full Width Background). No matter what I change the width to, it’s still “contained” with space on both sides. It simply won’t span the full width of the device.

Full Width Content does the job beautifully on mobile but that solution doesn’t work for my needs for desktop.

That part, I get, however… what I am trying to get addressed is not the background image. I want the ENTIRE ROW to be full width on mobile. I want that entire row of content to touch the left side of my screen (on mobile) and I want it to touch the right side of my screen.

So, imaging if the row was full width content and how it would display. THAT is what I want to accomplish, on mobile, with a Full Width Background setup.

Hey arteest,

That functionality would require custom modding, 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: 1000px) {

.wpb_row.full-width-section {
    margin-left: -50vw!important;
    left: 50%!important;
    width: 100vw!important;
}
.full-width-section > .row-bg-wrap {
  left: 0!important;
  width: 100%!important;
  margin-left: 0!important;
}

}

Thank you for all your help. Unfortunately, the code still did not work for me. However, I sincerely appreciate all the effort and attempts to remedy the situation. I have to start wrapping up the site so I may have to go a different route. I plan to revisit Salient in a future release though. Thanks guys.

Hi,

Where do I have to put the API code for the Google maps ? It doesn’t work for the moment..

Hey bosbusiness,

The field for that is located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related. If you already have it in there and it’s not working, kindly share your URL so I can take a look

Cheers

Hi I can get the WooCommerce Product Element to work. After adding the element and updating the page it just keeps on a white screen.

Hey johanhenning,

Can you verify that you do not have the ”WooCommerce Blocks” plugin which adds WooCommerce blocks for the Gutenberg editor active? There’s currently a known conflict with that plugin which will be sorted in the next release

Hi, yes I do have the WooCommerce Blocks plugin activated. When will the next release be? Regards Johan.

Hey Johan, we’re aiming for the end of the month – if you’d like to get access to the beta version please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

​Hi,

Im currently running Salient version: 5.5.52​

What is the safest way to upgrade to version 10 e.g. should upgrade to v6 then v7-v10 or just go straight for the latest version?

Thanks

Hey BaNeFX,

you can go straight to v10 – just make sure to also update your Salient WPBakery page builder (formerly visual composer) plugin after the theme update to ensure compatibility. If you’re using a child theme with template/function overrides, make sure to update those as well

Cheers

Is it possible to give an update on the next Salient release? I am trying to plan a redesign and I’m simply trying to gauge which direction to go. The current version doesn’t seem to do what I’m needing at the moment.

Hey arteest,

We’re still hoping for late this month

Cheers

Hello, I am trying to change the drop-down options but they don’t show on the website. Is there another way to place the drop-down menu position?

Hey BandaSonora, you can fully control the coloring of the dropdowns by using the color pickers in the Salient options panel > logo & general styling tab and setting your “Header Color Scheme” to “custom”. Altering the spacing would require custom CSS though, if you can share your URL i’d be glad to provide a snippet :)

Cheers

Hello, is there anywhere I can send the url link? Don’t want it to be documented here since it’s a staging site. Thanks!

No worries BandaSonora, you can reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Hi guys,

Can you add a theme option under portfolio to allow the admin to customize the name of Next Project / Previous Project, so that we can set it to be, example, Next Story / Previous Story, or Next Case Study / Previous Case Study?

Please let me know if you need anymore info.

Thanks team!

Hey JustLaw, you could still modify the file/function within the file if desired but the .pot is a little cleaner if all you need to alter is the text itself. There’s not really anything special to consider, you just need to create a .po file from the included .pot with your desired text for each available string :)

Thanks guys for confirming!

You’re welcome JustLaw :)

Hi, awesome theme! Currently trying to set it up and noticed some issues:

1. “Fade In One By One” on the “Clients Row” does not work/start when “Page Full Screen Rows” are active.

2. There are issues between the “Revolution Slider” and the “Page Full Screen Rows” feature. If you choose any parallax scroll option for the “Animation Between Rows” then basically none of the “Revolution Slider” templates works/starts. On “default” scroll they work/start and with the full screen rows disabled.

Hey Uarewhatulove, thanks a lot!

1. The fix for this will be included in the next release of the theme. If you’d like access to the upcoming beta version, Please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

2. Could you share the URL in regards so I can take a look?

Thanks in advance

Hi, thanks for the Answer. Regarding point 2. I managed to get the Revolution Slider to work, with your tipps here: https://themenectar.ticksy.com//ticket/1595634/ Changing the Slider to auto instead of fullscreen, did the job.

If I’ll lauch the site before your next update I will try your beta branch. Thanks

Glad to hear Uarewhatulove :)

Cheers

What file do i need to edit to change the layout of the header to a custom design?

Hey olliepb, if you’re referring to the header navigation bar the template files can be found in includes/partials/header as of v10

Is it possible to add “list view” for woocommerce. I tried using 3rd party plugins, but it still doesn’t work. Would love to have the ability to select list view in the theme settings. I see a lot of people have been asking for this for a long time.

Hey speakeasy602, Unfortunately there’s no option within Salient to add a list view for the product archive pages, though I’ve noted your +1 for the idea. What plugin did you try using which presented issues?

I have a quick question and was wondering if you guys could assist since you’re the experts. I started building my site using a competitors’ theme, which can be found here: https://bit.ly/2BBU8Xs

However, I’m a salient diehard and wanted to know if I can replicate a particular aspect of this design – using Salient. Notice how some areas seem to be “Boxed Layout” while others appear to be a Full Width Content and spans the width of the screen?

Well, that part I was able to replicate via Salient, as seen here: https://bit.ly/2N7nHVu

NOW, if you view both of those via mobile (iPad), you’ll notice how the competitors’ version (first link) spans the full width of the device in landscape. My salient version has weird spacing on the side because I’m using a Full Width Background with a nested table.

If I use a Full Width Content layout, I lose the coolness of the desktop version because everything will span full width. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.

Hey arteest,

The issue that you’re showing related to using the setting “column margin: none” for the inner row will be fixed in the next release, for now you can add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:


@media only screen and (min-width : 690px) and (max-width : 1000px) {
  .vc_row-fluid[data-column-margin="none"] > .span_12 > .one-fourths.vc_col-sm-3:not([class*="vc_col-xs-"]) {
    width: 50%!important;
  }
}

Cheers

Thank you. I added the code but I’m not quite sure what was supposed to happen though. On mobile, it still looks the same.

Hey arteest, could you kindly disable your autooptimize temporarily so I can see why the snippet is not taking effect on your setup?

is this the only way to contact anyone from ThemeNectar? i need to ask a question, but the only way i can find to do that is if i’m already a customer and post a ticket via Ticksy. which i can’t do since i don’t own the product. grrr. kinda hard to become a new customer. ???

Hey double3, if you don’t want to post your question publicly, you can reach out via the contact form on my author page located here: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

thanks! will do.

No problem double3 :)

Hi, is it possible to always appear the “add to cart” and “quick view” on mobile phones too? I was seeing the woocommerce templates, they’re beautiful on the desktop, but they are not working very well on mobile phones.

Hey fourthcode,

What product style are you using? It would require custom to alter the buttons to be visible at all times, however the quick view is removed all together. To keep the quickview active on mobile devices, you can 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: 1000px) {
body .products li.product .nectar_quick_view {
    display: inline-block!important;
}
}
