Hey guys!

Great work on the theme, I just have a quick question:

Is it possible at all to have the “Recent Posts: Multiple Large Featured” module to also include the lead of the article, as in the first few sentences in the article like other modules show?

Also I just noticed our support has expired but I’ll gladly renew it if necessary for this, is there any chance you could let me know if this is possible in the meanwhile?

Thank you!

Hello again! I just figured it out myself, sorry for bothering you with this.

For future reference, in the case anyone else wants to do this customization, simply add the following code after line 4098, inside the || else if($style == ‘multiple_large_featured’) || section of shortcode-processing.php:

<?php echo ‘ ’ . nectar_excerpt(20) . ‘ ’; ?>

Cheers!

Hey DigitalityStudios!

Glad to hear that you sorted it :)

Hi there Salient, still tweaking my site after a long hiatus. Now, I’d like to know how to overlay a logo (transparent .png, I guess) on top of a Page Header Image. Like I want every portfolio item to display a particular logo instead the usual caption title.

I already have managed to hide such title with custom CSS but I have no idea on how to achieve that.

I also have read here and in the forum about using the URL_SRC command (single quotes) in the Caption Title bar but this does not work (just displays ultra compressed long URL).

Could you please help? Thanks a lot!

Hey juandoscuartos,

As of now it would actually require CSS to set the image on the title element itself. You can use the custom css box inside of each project via the Salient WPBakery page builder (top right gear icon). Here’s an example snippet:

body #page-header-bg h1 {
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto;
  text-indent: -9999px;
  width: 200px;
  height: 100px;
  background-image:url(http://localhost/salient/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/toa-heftiba-250938-unsplash.jpg);

}

Cheers

Thanks a lot! Will try now. Just wondering how this question could qualify for wishlist since it would be great to have the option in the Page Header panel itself. Like we could choose [hide title caption] and then [upload Page Header logo/image] etc.

You guys are doing great job! Thanks!

Hey juandoscuartos, I’ve noted it on the wishlist :)

Cheers

Hi, I’m really struggling with this issue. I have a big black time underneath the home slider on both and computer browsers and mobile. How do I remove this?

http://adelephillips.co.uk/

Hey Adelephonce,

Unassign the home template you have active and instead use the page builder to add a Nectar Slider. The Home Slider was deprecated a while ago and the Nectar Slider is the current/much more flexible slider in Salient. If you need assistance setting that up, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Hello guys! Want to add a button to header (not inside off canvas menu) how can i do this?

And ive got one more question: how can i do a popup to button when use in menu “button accent color” and put inside this popup Contact Form 7?

Hey esqu1red,

1. See the following in regards: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/header-button-links/

2. Currently there’s no built in functionality like that, however you could use a plugin such as popup maker to accomplish this https://wordpress.org/plugins/popup-maker/

Cheers

Hey we love this theme, But noticed a few things:

The Instagram Icon used in the theme is the old icon (probably an old font awesome version) it would be nice to haver that updated to the new logo.

We seem to have issues with offset in the grid, for example if we wanted to have 1 1/2 column central we would give it an offset of 1/4 so it would appear in the middle of the row, however the % is not quite right and it’s not actually centre of the page. I think it is a CSS permissions thing and the correct % gets overridden.

Something really weird happens at 1000px in the media queries.. there is like a completely unique view at 1000px and then at 999px it’s the normal break to narrow hand-held device view and at 1001px it’s a normal tablet break view. The media-query CSS just needs a few tweaks to stop that weird 1px view from showing.

Again love the theme, would be great to see these things above sorted in next update :)

Hey julianpiranhad!

I’ve these on the to-do list however in regards to font awesome – we will be including the latest version as soon as WPBakery updates their builder to support it

Cheers

How to edit the topbar? https://prnt.sc/mkdluq

Hey KrystalDesigns, in the Salient options panel > header navigation > layout related tab there’s a field called “Secondary Header Text”

Cheers

My content is not aligning in center. I tried setting Column Centered Content Alignment and Row Content position as middle. https://prnt.sc/mkdfm2 Am I missing something?

Hey KrystalDesigns, could you share the actual page URL In regards so I can take a closer look?

Thanks in advance

Hi ThemeNectar, I have a problem with Formatting from the menu. Here the visualized problem: https://www.dropbox.com/s/s5qn83klduvqeiq/Menu%20problem.jpg?dl=0 Here is my homepage: https://bit.ly/2THYmDH Can you help me with the implementation? Thanks you! PS: When is the next update planned?

Hey vik_, in the Salient options panel > header navigation > dropdown/megamenu tab there’s an option for “Header Dropdown Arrows”, and in the header navigation > off canvas navigation there’s also an option for “Off Canvas Menu Dropdown Behavior”

Thanks for the tip! <<2. The next update will still likely be out towards the end of the month :)>> End of the month ;)

No problem vik :) Unfortunately the feature based update has been delayed due to us focusing on the new Envato theme guidelines https://forums.envato.com/t/wordpress-requirements-update-and-new-gutenberg-optimized-attribute/207103

I have a quick question regarding full width background vs full width content. On mobile, full width content is very narrow but on desktop, it is the perfect width.

The way full-width background displays on mobile (from edge to edge) is how I’d like full width content to display on mobile. My question is… is there padding on left and right (on FW Content – mobile) that I am simply overlooking?

On a more-awesome note, I was able to optimize your theme to get page speeds of 95 & 84. Do I win anything?

I tried the new code and it doesn’t seem to effect the width. If you have an iPad available, please take a look there in landscape. You will see what I see.

Actually, I nested a row inside another row. The main row is set to Full Width Background. On mobile (iPad) that is where I see the space on the sides. FW Content looks GREAT on mobile, but on desktop, I want it tight and contained as it is when you set it to FW Background.

Hope this makes sense.

Hey arteest,

I can’t see the snippet taking effect on your setup, could you please temporarily disable the autooptimize plugin?

Hi ThemeNectar

How I can force the transaparency menu on 404 page?

Hey ZGmarketing, not as of now without modifying the function which determines when that effect should be activated. If you’re interested in diving in, it’s located in nectar/helpers/page-header.php and the function is called “using_page_header”

Cheers

Hello,

I have been using this theme for over a year now and absolutely love it! Thank you so much for creating it.

I don’t have support so I’m not looking for help (already found a work-around) but just so you are aware, there seems to be a problem on the Desktop version with animated page transitions being on. When it is on my site just has a spinning loading circle in the middle of the page like something is blocking it.

I was able to turn it off and get the site to load for now so it’s not urgent. I am using wordpress 5.0.3 on Siteground hosting if that helps. Let me know if you need any more details and I would be happy to provide :)

Thanks again!

Hey dgellman! Really glad to hear you’re enjoying the theme :)

Were you using the “Ajax” or “Standard” page transition method within the Salient options panel > page transitions tab? Sometimes the Ajax option can run into issues with plugins, however the standard should not.

Thanks in advance

Good Day! Greate Theme! I just want to know how to remove the delay when hovering out the megamenu please? It stays like about half a seconds after hovering out we want it to be reoved immediately after hovering out.

Hey lranking,

I thought you were referring to the delay on hovering in instead of out – removing the delay at the end would require modding to the js/init.js file at the “initSF” function. The “delay: 650” would need to be modified

Cheers

It’s working man thanks a bunch!

You’re welcome lranking :)

Hi, how can I add the old contact form style instead of the new one? I’m using the corporate demo.

Thank you in advance.

Hey asevims,

In version 9.0 we changed the minimal styling option. Unfortunately the minimal style had to be simplified to not rely on javascript to move the labels around/create the animation – it conflicted with many third party form systems and was general unstable. We added a new material form style in 9.0 though which you may like better than the minimal. If you disable the minimal option and use the material theme skin in the general settings tab, you’ll be able to see it: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/theme-options/form-styling/

How to create an image slider like this https://prnt.sc/mk2fr2 and this https://prnt.sc/mk2hfp

Hey KrystalDesigns,

Both of those are using the “carousel” page builder element with script set to “Flickity”. You can then achieve the first linked image by using the “Fixed text content fullwidth” style and the other linked image by using the “default” style.

Cheers

Hi,

I am not able to achieve the second example. I chose and Flickity and default setting and 3 columns but the result is like this https://prnt.sc/mkm4yr https://prnt.sc/mkm6ry I want it to look like this https://prnt.sc/mkm5w6 which has the 1st and 3rd image shown partially.

Hey KrystalDesigns,

if the overflowing images are what you’re going for, you’ll actually need to use the “Image Gallery” page builder element and select the flickity style with that. Here’s a screenshot of the settings to achieve that screenshot: https://ibb.co/dpjL44Z

Cheers

Hello I am using off-canvas navigation on this site: http://lebruitdeleau.fr/ I am running into two issues: 1) On a 27 inches screen if you hover on the 3 bars, nothing happens. The menu won’t open 2) On mobile if you open the menu it’s impossible to close it except if you click on a link, there’s no cross to close the menu. What do you think? Many thanks Guillaume

Hey williambesson,

1. In order to use the “hover” based slide out off canvas menu instead of the click based options, you’ll need to increase the boxed layout max width a bit to accommodate large screen sizes. 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: 1000px) {
#boxed, #boxed #header-outer, #boxed #page-header-bg[data-parallax="1"], #boxed #featured, 
body[data-footer-reveal="1"] #boxed #footer-outer, #boxed #featured article, .ascend #boxed #search-outer {
    max-width: 1700px!important;
}
}

2. It seems the HTML for the menu button which should be inside of the open menu is not there in your setup, 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

Is it me or the linea icons for basic_geolocalize-01.svg and basic_geolocalize-05.svg are broken

Hey leonardlyz, this will be sorted in the next release – for now you can fix it by renaming the files

css/fonts/svg/basic_geolocalize-01.svg.php
css/fonts/svg/basic_geolocalize-05.svg.php

to

css/fonts/svg/basic_geolocalize_01.svg.php
css/fonts/svg/basic_geolocalize_05.svg.php

(the ending dash needs to be an underscore)

Cheers

Hi,

i want to place a menu or few links in the copyright-bar at the bottom of the site. On the left side is the copyright and i want the “links” at the right side of the bar (where i can add the socialmedia icons).

Is this possible?

Would be nice for Legal Notice, Disclaimer etc.

Thanks :)

Hey DIIWOO,

As of now this would require modding to the “includes/partials/footer/copyright-bar.php” file – this can also be moved into a child theme to keep the changes update proof

Cheers

Uiuiuiuui, So it is better not to make any changes if you have no idea about it? Tanks

I have updated to v10, how do I update to WP Bakery Builder from Visual composer? Thank you.

Hey tjmoas,

In the Plugins section of your admin panel do you see an “update” link on the Salient Visual Composer plugin? If not, what version of the plugin are you using?

Thanks in advance

Hi, Salient Visual Composer Version 4.11.2. There is no update option.

Hey tjmoas, can you also verify that you do not have option enabled for “Disable Theme Recommended Plugin Notifications” in the Salient options panel > general settings > toggle theme features tab? If not, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks in advance

Nectar, thank you for your critique. Much appreciated.

One thing is though we are having a serious problem with being able to edit the text in any text blocks with the theme on our own site.

I have been going back and forth with Tahir on this and we are still coming up a bit short with the solution.

I sent my login credentials to the private ticket

- #1888191 -

Hey lnbbroductions,

I’ll have a look into that ticket shortly :)

Cheers

Hi guys!

How do I disable the preloader here www.nyskaparna.se?

Cheers, Mr. Cross

Hey Mr. Cross :)

That can be handled via the Salient options panel > Page transitions tab

Cheers

Hi again,

That option is not working for my site for some reason.

How to fix this?

Cheers,

Mr. Cross

Hey Mr. Cross, I just logged in to your setup using the old account you had provided via email a little while ago and saw that the page transition option was still enabled, so I disabled it: https://ibb.co/wyNV82t The preloading screen is now disabled from the front end – are you seeing that as well?

Cheers
