Hello again,

I would like to achieve this look: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/portfolio-3-columns/

On this page: https://rollingvacations.ca/view-rv-rentals/

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

thank you!

Hey soarwithit!

When editing the page, change the page template to “Default template” via the “Page attributes” metabox. Then edit the portfolio element you have in the page builder and change the settings as follows: https://ibb.co/GFym7PL

Cheers

Awesome support! Thank you!!!

You’re welcome soarwithit :)

Hello, how do I hide the featured image on the portfolio pages: https://rollingvacations.ca/view-rv-rentals/

Thank you for your great support!!!

Hey soarwithit, do you mean on the single project pages like here: https://rollingvacations.ca/portfolio/2011-sunseeker/ or on the portfolio grid as you’ve shared?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for confirming soarwithit, when editing the project there’s an option to hide the featured image – it’s labeled “Hide Featured Image/Video on Single Project Page”

Cheers

Can a Full Width Background row have an inner row that is 100% width?

Hey arteest, there’s no option to do that without custom modding. The full width background row still uses a container which all of the content lives inside of. Only the background layer is expanded outside of that.

Understood. Thank you.

You’re welcome :)

is there a way to hide the page title of some pages, and leave it on others?

Hey paul0v2, add this into the custom css box within your Salient WPBakery page builder (top right gear icon)


#ajax-content-wrap #page-header-wrap { display: none; }

Hello – How can i have a slider with bottom navigation similar to Blog Magazine Nectar Slider? I would like it on the home page but there was no option to place the navigation as text in the bottom.

Hey ehamouda,

When using the “recent posts” page builder element, select the “Multiple Large Featured style”. Within those settings, you’ll see a field “Navigation Location”.

Cheers

Thanks. but i need it to be for standard pages and not recent posts. so basically copying the style.

Hey ehamouda, that would require custom modding to the nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php file in regards as of now. Search for the “nectar_recent_posts” to end up at the right location

Can I see the “out of stock” on store with salient theme? How can I do this?

Hey jcosta,

An example of a product which is out of stock can be seen here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce-ultimate/product/t-shirt/

Are you wondering how to set a product to out stock? If so, here’s an article on that topic.

Cheers

Hi—is there a way I can control how many posts show up on my category page? Here is the category page I am referencing https://thefictionstoryroom.com/category/writing-material/screenplay-downloads/

Also how can I adjust what the default blog style is here instead of masonry?

And last is there a way to add a description or copy that would appear just under the header image? When I edit the category page the description does not show on the actual page when published.

Hey JayCarver,

1. That will inherit from the WP admin > settings > reading option titled “Blog pages show at most”

2. The archive pages will use the layout defined within the Salient options panel > blog tab

3. As of now this would require a modification, however it will become available in the next release.

Cheers

Hi there,

Love the theme, long time fan with 7 licences and no doubt more in the future :)

I’m trying to work with Yoast breadcrumbs, and all is working fine.

However, when enabled they are automatically put at the top of the page – is there any way to have control over where they appear?

I notice you can use a shortcode from Yoast to put the breadcrumbs where you like, but obviously this is a replication and I don’t just want to hide the default one via css.

Many thanks :)

Hey Phacin8! You can remove the ”// Yoast breadcrumbs.” section within the page.php file.

The template can also be moved into a child theme if desired.

Cheers

Hello,

We are using the Interactive Map element on a page, but for some reason the marker is way off from the entered coordinates, somewhere in the middle of the ocean. The coordinates entered into the element are definitely correct.

In addition, I have tried updating everything, disabling all plugins, and switching to the parent theme, none of which have solved the issue.

All help is appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks theoceanagency :)

Can you also confirm that the center point lat/lng is the same as the actual marker lat/lng as shown in this: https://ibb.co/m8vJCrt If they are, please reach out via the contact form on my author page so I can take a closer look https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Looking at the provided image, it looks like I forgot to include the coordinates in the box at the bottom. Entering those in there has resolved this issue. Thanks!

Glad that worked for you theoceanagency :)

Cheers

Hey, what has happened to the way contact forms were styled? Even in your demo the label texts don’t look like placeholders :(

Any plans to fix that? :)

Hey ayn,

the latest form style is offered through the Material theme skin: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/theme-options/form-styling/ 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. However in future releases we will be adding more which are based on CSS alone.

Hi, I have question: How or where can I activate that people can use the Safari reader mode to show content on my page? I would like active it for https://ernstneumeister.com/ and it should look in the image above, while browsing my page with Safari on your IPhone: https://ernstneumeister.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/IMG_3406.jpg

Thanks in advance! Ernst

Hey Ernst,

Reader mode will only become available on pages with enough text (determined by the browser). I don’t believe there’s any way to force it other than that. You can see it available on blog posts such as http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/food-for-thought/amazing-post-with-all-the-goodies/

Cheers

Ah ok, great! So it’s working out of the box. :) Thank you for your reply nonetheless.

You’re welcome mamboernst :)

Hi there. Is there a way of changing the format of the date which shows on a blog post (list and page) so it only show the year and month rather than day, month and year? Many thanks.

Hey wints77, you can adjust the “Date Format” in the WP admin > Settings > General tab. If that’s not working for you, kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look.

Cheers

Is there a way to reduce the mobile breakpoint to 670px, it’s always odd seeing a mobile design on a big iPad/tablet style screen.

Whenever I change the mobile breakpoint, as soon as I type 670px, and click away to save it automatically changes back to 1000…how can this be changed? I would prefer the entire site widths to be optional/custom and hoping there’s a simpler solution instead of changing JS/CSS?

Hey DailyOffices, there’s no way to alter that below 1000px without changing the CSS as of now, however I’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist.

I have an issue with the transparent header. I changed images in my hero section so now want my menu text to be dark, instead of light. However, after making this change, the button I have on the pull right menu kind of moves when hovered over. It only does this with a dark menu. Is there a fix for this?

Hey mikelaha, can you share the URL in regards so I can take a look?

Thanks in advance

Here’s a screengrab of what’s happening. Again, it’s only when I have a transparent background and dark menu. Light menu doesn’t do this.

Is the site on a local install? If not, please share the URL privately using the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar – I just need to see your theme settings to replicate the issue on my end since I have not been able to so far.

Thanks again

I really need help with a frustrating issue. I have inherited a WP site using Salient as a child theme. I simply need to edit the Home page but it is grayed out and displays elements not actually found on the Home page. Even more confusing it does not contain any elements that actually display on the front end. I am wondering how to actually access the elements on the Home page and edit them. Any help would be truly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Oh, forgot to mention the video playing on the home page has audio that doesn’t play and is also not on the Home page backend.

Thanks norman_jamali,

1. The child theme is likely overriding the content then. I would need to take a look at the actual files to point you in the right direction. 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

2. Videos which autoplay in the browser can no longer have sound as of a year ago (new browser standards): https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes

Thanks in advance

Thanks so much Themenectar – was out of the office. I did discover the autoplay policy so the audio issue makes sense. But still totally clueless as to why I cannot edit my home page. I would like to make a ticket but the prev owner is not releasing the credentials for me to do so. Will keep trying…

Hi, I “switched on” portfolio tags, by editing funcions.php, found this solution here. But how can I list portfolio items by tags? If i open like mysite.com/tag/tagname – result only posts but no portfolio items. Any idea? Thanks!

Hey 4cutpostdigital,

by default WordPress custom post types do not appear in the tag archive. You could force them into the query by also adding this into a child functions.php, however it will be attempting to use the blog styles still:


function nectar_portfolio_tags( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_tag() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'portfolio' ) );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'nectar_portfolio_tags' );

thanks a lot! If we going to use the formal way, we should do it by using portfolio attributes? (whit attributes I can create listings for exmple list of portfolio items which have “film” attribute)

Hey 4cutpostdigital, yes the project attributes would work for that – the interface is just different in the backend.

Hi there,

This website is almost ready to go live (awesome site with an awesome theme): pluut.kleidi.nl. On this page: https://pluut.kleidi.nl/diensten/ when I’m scaling down to tablet size it the bottom titles are a little bit off compared to the rest. They are at the top of the image next to it. Is there an easy way to fix this?

Thanks a lot. See screenshot here: https://ibb.co/vXTBcH6

Hey Abbenhues,

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


ul {
  clear: both;
}

Cheers

Hello!

Warning: preg_match_all(): Compilation failed: invalid range in character class at offset 11 in /var/www/u0448991/data/www/yarasheva.ru/wp-content/plugins/js_composer_salient/include/autoload/hook-vc-grid.php on line 163

Hey Nicko_217,

the Salient page builder is only compatible up to PHP 7.2, that error is caused by 7.3 – however this will be resolved in the next update and if you’d like access to the fix now, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks in advance

How do I hide Category from single posts?

Hey advokatmelo,

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


.single .meta-category,
#page-header-bg .inner-wrap >a,
body.material #page-header-bg.fullscreen-header .inner-wrap >a {
  display: none!important;
}

Cheers

Hi!

Is it possible to have a full-screen video set as background without top and bottom black bars? Thanks!

Hey julsMB, there should not be blank bars when supplying the self hosted video at a 16:9 aspect ratio – if you already have, kindly share the URL in regards where that’s occurring so I can take a look.

Thanks in advance
