Hello, why is there no option to add the logo in wordpress customizer? I have already added it in salient options. I am using elementor and it picks up the logo from wordpress customizer.

Hey nkhanani,

In order to enable that field, you’ll have to add the following into your salient child theme functions.php:

 add_theme_support( 'custom-logo' ); 

You guys hardly have one demo for restaurant which is also a copy of another theme’s demo. What a strange thing. Why you guys dont have more themes for this business pls?

Hey ihtsham, We did not copy another themes restaurant demo, can you please share the URL of the theme in which you’re referring to? Salient is also not a restaurant focused theme, but rather a multi-purpose creative theme. The single demo for that niche was created to demonstrate the possibilities in design flexibility – However it’s possible another food oriented demo will be added in the future.

Is there a way to set one background image for all pages across the theme?

Hey csmillac,

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


.container-wrap {
  background-image: url('your-src.jpg');
} 

Thanks!

You’re welcome csmillac :)

Can not activate “​Salient WPBakery Page Builder​”

I once saw it say fatal error

Hey 100angles,

Can you verify that you do not have another version of the WPBakery page builder already active? If you do not, please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page with temporary admin credentials so I can take a closer look? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

I suppose it was a cache issue – we flushed the DNS and it appears to be working now, apologies for delaying your support response time.

Hey, no worries 100angles. I’m glad to hear you got it sorted :)

Hello, I need to create a slider like the one in your blog-ultimate template because of the progress bars with titles are very cool, I read that there is the possibility to add only 4 recent posts but I need to add 6, there are any possibility to change it, maybe with codes? Thanks in advance

Hey koll25,

That would require modding to the nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php as of now at the “nectar_recent_posts” function

Cheers

Hi, I cant redirect my customers to the digital download, even though I placed the URL in the “File Url Box”.

Then I tried to place the File Url in an email notification sent to the buyer after purchase. I must had done it wrong…. where can I place the URL so they are emailed their download link?

Thanks!

Hi again,

I have 3 questions. Can you please assist?

1. If you open my link http://7mq.f36.myftpupload.com and on the side menu, i have added text widget. The word “here” is a link but its also white, i’d like to change it to black with underline, so the visitor knows its a link and it does not get mixed with the text content. I could not find the CSS selector to style this, I have tried a few but none worked. Can you help with the css?

2. I’d like to make the blog titles “Upgrade to v2.3” http://7mq.f36.myftpupload.com/2019/03/01/changes/ smaller on mobile only.

3. I’d also like to know if there will be any next, prev. optin for the blog but without the featured image, like a minimal style that the portfolio is using. Images add extra request to the server and slow down especially when you already have a lot of images per blog post.

thanks

Hey toolbox101,

1. Add this into the custom css box:


#slide-out-widget-area a {
    color: #000!important;
    text-decoration: underline;
}

2.

media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
#page-header-bg .span_6 h1, 
.single.single-post .section-title h1 {
    font-size: 18px!important;
    line-height: 28px!important
}
}

3. As of now this would require custom modding, but I’ve added the idea on the wishlist.

Cheers

The code for question 2 did not work. It did not change the font at all on mobile.

I have added @ to in front of media. Still no chagne…

@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
#page-header-bg .span_6 h1, 
.single.single-post .section-title h1 {
    font-size: 5px!important;
    line-height: 28px!important
}
}

and here is the link. http://7mq.f36.myftpupload.com/2019/03/01/changes/

Hey toolbox101, I’m seeing that the CSS has taken effect – the text is responding the value you have set of 5px: https://ibb.co/BgB7SSF have you tried to clear your device cache?

What does this code do in the child theme’s functions.php file?

<?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' );
}

?>

I want to add more scripts to my functions but it breaks because of this default code.

My older installation of Salient, did not have this code, maybe this was adding during the new updates.

I add my code right after the php closing tag of the default code ?>

And this is my code:


// BLOG PAGE PANGINATION SEO FIX
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'salient_child_enqueue_styles');
function salient_child_enqueue_styles() {

    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array('font-awesome'));

    if ( is_rtl() ) 
           wp_enqueue_style(  'salient-rtl',  get_template_directory_uri(). '/rtl.css', array(), '1', 'screen' );
}

/** Pagination for Blog pages /2/3/4/ etc. **/
if ( ! function_exists( 'multipage_metadesc' ) ){
   function multipage_metadesc( $s ){
      global $page;
      $paged = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;
      ! empty ( $page ) && 1 < $page && $paged = $page;
      $paged > 1 && $s .= ' - ' . sprintf( __( 'Page %s' ), $paged );
      return $s;
   }
   add_filter( 'wpseo_metadesc', 'multipage_metadesc', 100, 1 );
}

if ( ! function_exists( 'multipage_title' ) ){
   function multipage_title( $title ){
      global $page;
      $paged = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;
      ! empty ( $page ) && 1 < $page && $paged = $page;
      $paged > 1 && $title .= ' - ' . sprintf( __( 'Page %s' ), $paged );
      return $title;
   }
   add_filter( 'wpseo_title', 'multipage_title', 100, 1 );
}

Hey toolbox101,

The Salient child theme functions.php simply enqueues the child stylesheet – is that your entire child theme functions.php file or just the custom code you’re adding? If it’s not the entire code, please paste that for me to see as well. Also, kindly use pastebin.com for sharing the code

Thanks in advance

This is my full code, when I put it after the code in the child’ themes fucntion.php it breaks the site.

Can you send me the complete code with your code and mine together? Maybe I am doing something wrong.

<?php

// BLOG PAGE PANGINATION SEO FIX
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'salient_child_enqueue_styles');
function salient_child_enqueue_styles() {

    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array('font-awesome'));

    if ( is_rtl() ) 
           wp_enqueue_style(  'salient-rtl',  get_template_directory_uri(). '/rtl.css', array(), '1', 'screen' );
}

/** Pagination for Blog pages /2/3/4/ etc. **/

   function multipage_metadesc( $s ){
      global $page;
      $paged = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;
      ! empty ( $page ) && 1 < $page && $paged = $page;
      $paged > 1 && $s .= ' - ' . sprintf( __( 'Page %s' ), $paged );
      return $s;
   }

   function multipage_title( $title ){
      global $page;
      $paged = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;
      ! empty ( $page ) && 1 < $page && $paged = $page;
      $paged > 1 && $title .= ' - ' . sprintf( __( 'Page %s' ), $paged );
      return $title;
   }
   add_filter( 'wpseo_title', 'multipage_title', 100, 1 );

Hey toolbox101, I copied that entire code as a child theme functions.php and received no errors and don’t see any syntax errors. Are you seeing the site break on the frontend as well as the admin side or only on the front?

Hi there, I’ve had a page which had the template Sidebar. I tried to change it to Default template but after updating page it keeps staying on sidebar. Are you guys familiar with this? How to fix it?

ey Abbenhues,

There’s no currently known issue like that – could you kindly share the page URL in regards so I can take a look?

Thanks

Hi! I am using the WooCommerce Products with the carousel option and it breaks my homepage, with pagination it works fine. I want to set it up like the eCommerce Creative template.

This is the site: https://toyvania.com/

Thanks!

Ok perfect! Sent!

Support solve this in less than an hour. I am really impressed! Great developers :)

Thanks a lot itos84! Glad I could help :)

Quick helpful comment for everyone here.

There may be people who come up with this same problem. Just addressing it and providing a solution that worked for me with the help of ThemeNectars prompt support.

Problem: Using Salient woocommerce templates or woocommerce product carousels were crashing the page you put them on but not the whole site. This made the page keep loading with no result.

Solution: ThemeNectar explained that “Woocommerce Blocks plugin for Gutenberg”, creates conflicts with Salient. They explained to deactivate it. You don’t need it.

Result: They were right. I deactivated the woocommerce Blocks plugin and that worked just fine. The website is healthy and working fine.

Thanks ThemeNectar.

Glad I could help Primecoder!

Just to note for any who come across this – the conflict noted will be fixed in the next release :)

My Salient theme is generating 19 thumbnails images per uploaded images, is that right? Seems like a ton. Wordpress Media settings only show ‘Thumbnail, Medium and Large’. I’m seeing all of these per upload: – thumbnail (150px × 150px) – medium (540px × 540px) – medium_large (768px × *) – large (1200px × 900px) – bloom_image (610px × *) – portfolio-thumb_large (900px × 604px) – portfolio-thumb (600px × 403px) – portfolio-thumb_small (400px × 269px) – portfolio-widget (100px × 100px) – nectar_small_square (140px × 140px) – wide (1000px × 500px) – wide_small (670px × 335px) – regular (500px × 500px) – regular_small (350px × 350px) – tall (500px × 1000px) – wide_tall (1000px × 1000px) – wide_photography (900px × 600px) – large_featured (1700px × 700px) – medium_featured (800px × 800px)

Any way to decrease the number of thumbnails created, or only make them if they’re necessary?

Hey mikelastphoto,

If you want to modify what image sizes are cut, you can copy the function “nectar_add_image_sizes” form the nectar/helpers/media.php file into a child theme.

Cheers

Hello. I want to move the Scripts to the footer to try to make the web a bit faster. I have this message when I trying to add some lines in the function.php:

Cannot redeclare nectar_subsetFilter() (previously declared in wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/redux-framework/ReduxCore/inc/fields/typography/field_typography.php:682)”

How can I do? Thank you!

Hey Rofe,

could you kindly share the code you’ve added into the functions.php so I can take a closer look at it? If the code is long, kindly use a site such as https://pastebin.com/ to share it.

Thanks in advance

Hi, is it possible to display the contents of a blog post as a modal? for example in masonry blog view – by clicking the “card” and just getting a modal instead of a full page reload. We have many very “short” blog posts. Any ideas / possibilities on achiving this with salient? Thanks a lot! Dan

Hey Dan, unfortunately there would be no way to achieve that without some custom modding/the use of a plugin as of now – however i’ve noted the idea on the wishlist

Cheers :)

Is it possible to embeding to portfolio’s lighbox the content like a HTML5 canvas banner?

Unfortunately there’s no option for that as of yet delapina, but i’ve noted the idea on the wishlist

Hi,

Using boxed layout with Ascend, Full Width Header with Secondary Navigation.

Cant get the “Header Box Shadow” to show at bottom of Main Navigation menu, despite setting to “Large” in Salient Options > Header Navigation > Logo & General Styling.

Please help!

Hey LeanneKingwell,

the boxed option intentionally disables that effect, however you can add it back in by adding this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:


body #boxed #header-outer {
    box-shadow: 0 3px 45px rgba(0,0,0,0.15)!important;
}

Perfect! Thanks so much for the super speedy response :)

You’re welcome LeanneKingwell :)

Hi. Is there another way to reorder columns from horizontal to vertical when site loads on mobile device (I mean images and text rearrange their stacking order image -> text, image -> text, and so on)
I tried to add this into custom CSS section in options:
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.reorderedCols .g-cols {
    flex-direction: column;
    }
.reorderedCols .g-cols > div:first-child {
    order: 2;
    }
.reorderedCols .g-cols > div:nth-child(2) {
    order: 1;
    }
.reorderedCols .g-cols > div:last-child {
    order: 3;
    }
}

and then “reorderCols” to Class names of the raw with columns, but that didn’t work
Thanks

Hey atlantchiropractic,

you would need to change the ”.g-cols” to ”.span_12”, as that’s the actual containing class used in Salient.

Cheers

That worked. Thank you very much

You’re welcome atlantchiropractic :)

Hello, how can active the WPBakery Page Builder editor in Front page?

Hey mirazoqui, are you referring to the front end editor or are you unable to use your page builder on the page that you have assigned to your “home page” in settings > reading?

If you’re talking about the actual front end editor – you need to be using the latest version of Salient (v10) and the Salient WPBakery Page Builder (v5.6)

Please how can i remove the Category from showing in the Blog posts and the archives?

Hey TruBrotha,

You can remove the love button in the Salient options panel > blog > post meta tab

Cheers

You are the best. Just one last thing now: https://prnt.sc/mskvfz

My screen options do not work anymore, I have upgraded to the lasted theme and still no luck, If you click it nothing happens

You’re welcome TruBrotha :)

Since there’s no current known issue relating to the screen options tab, could you 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

Thanks in advance

Hi guys! is it possible to have a sticky column using salient? or does it require custom JS or something

also if its not available now, will it be possible in some upcoming version?

Hey bachuramadhikari, unfortunately there’s no option for that as of now – however I’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist :)
