When I send the URL to someone else, I’d like to replace the part at the bottom with ‘home-product landing demo’. What should I do? I’ve revised the title of the page but it doesn’t change.

Hey YJK7858, can you please share the URL in question so I can see what you’re referring to?

Thanks in advance

In my home page https://toyvania.com I get “unreachable code after return statement” warnings in the console. I get in on Firefox. Also, two row images using full width content with parallax, take too long to load, I suppose because the errors because they are low kb images.

Can you check it out please? Thanks a lot and great theme!

Hey itos84 :)

The console warning you’re referring to would not effect the loading time like you’re site is experiencing. Could you please temporarily disable the cloudflare rocket loader feature you have on to see if that resolves the long pause?

Thanks in advance

Turned off the Cloudflare Rocket Loader and the problem was solved! Thanks!

Glad to hear itos84 :)

Hello, I have a question

How to set the distance between rows for mobile view so that the distance between rows is all the same; more details can be seen in the photo at this link: https://imgur.com/c711tq7

Thank you very much

Thank you very much. CSS works well!

I have the same mobile display problem again as above, this time because there is a large difference in the column.

here’s the link: rivernusa.com/bandung/

Thank you very much

Hey rivernusa,

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) {
.page-id-3129 .top-level  {
margin-bottom: 0!important;
}
}

Hi, we’re trying to change the thumbnail size on the recent blog section to a square. I have registered a new thumbnail size in my functions.php file, but can’t find where to overwrite the current thumbnail size of the recent blog section we’re using on the homepage.

https://www.motopuro.nl/

Could you let me know which template file to edit?

Thanks!

Hey DigiBastards!

See the nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php file at the function “nectar_recent_posts”.

Cheers

​How can this stay open & link interaction effect be achieved with the hotspot ‘Show on Hover’ option. When I select show on hover the shadow box always disappears before I can click on the link.

Can you share the CSS to: 1. Be able to have shadow box hidden and interactive with hover option (not click). (most important)

2. add a button inside the shadow box. (less important)

3. make the (+) itself or the number (1) hotspot be an actual link itself. this will help with mobile as the layout only works in landscape view not vertical. Normal vertical view does a weird full screen box on click and the the link does not work unless you rotate your screen sideways.

I would like an effect like this https://jolique.co.uk/#servicesIntro​

can anyone help with this

Hey mjsellers111,

Altering the duration which the hover style will stay open would require javascript modifications to the salient/js/init.js file, as CSS alone won’t be able to handle that. You can also add a button into the hotspot via HTML: https://pastebin.com/n5xTX4ni but that would only be clickable when using the “show on click” functionality

Hello, does salient support any LMS plugins such as lifterlms, learndash or learnpress?

Hey Orhangok, we have not added in any additional integration for those, but I would expect them to still work.

Cheers

Just migrated to PHP 7.2 and it fucked up the theme lol.

Also, agree with hotdish, this theme is so slow and files included (CSS and JS) is not minified.

Very slow theme, very badly coded.

I don’t recommend if you want optimization, this theme is not for you.

PageSpeed Score: 84% and fully loaded in 3.8s (i have my own dedicated server, in the same area of the ping i made, and also, i have a StackPath CDN (probably the fastest CDN currently available) and also, i downloaded extension to defer script because you forgot to do it (LOLLLLLLL), and also, a extensions for Minify (because, you also forgot it).

Bullshit, one of the most slow theme i ever worked with.

Hey Visad,

Salient is indeed compatible with PHP 7.2 as well as PHP 7.3 if you’re using a current version (v10+) and the current page builder (v5.7). Without seeing the errors you encountered, it would hard to assist. There’s also no known bugs with columns not working.

v10 of Salient was first released back in December of 2018 and tons of users have been using it for a while. Let’s start by getting your actual URL so I can see what’s going on. Please share it here or by email if you do not want to make it public.

Also, refunds are given to any user of Salient who is not satisfied, if you did not want one I’m not sure why you requested one through that channel, but i’ll reach out to Envato in regards as well.

Okay maybe i was to rude but we got a business and the site is down since we migrated to PHP 7. After that, we’ve done a update of Salient, which is now 10.0.3 and also the update of WP Bakery and also followed everything here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/

And now, the template which we used before no longer work (was a 3 columns). Also, we used a template from editor “Salient Templates” and the columns is broken.

So everything on my side is up to date, what the problem ? I’m not the only one which this is happens, i saw others comments.

Can you please share the page URL where the issue is occurring or reach out directly via the contact form on my author page if you’d prefer to share it privately: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

As soon as I can see what you’re experiencing, I can start helping out.

This theme is not designed to be WCAG compliant at all, and it’s full of accessibility issues. The author has suggested the WP Accessibility plugin several times to different people, and while that helps with a few problems, it doesn’t solve many issues. We spent upwards of 10 hours making changes and additions to the theme’s codebase so that it would pass a thorough ADA compliance test.

For those wondering: many features/content types in this theme are not keyboard navigable, including very important parts like off-screen menus, the search button, etc. It does not degrade correctly if CSS is disabled (SVG dividers are gigantic, for instance). Many buttons or other interactive elements have no aria-label or other way for a screen reader to know what they are. Skiplinks are not included, the :focus outline is removed by default, there’s no way to mark images as decorative, and more. Again, an accessibility plugin can help with a few of these issues, but definitely not all of them.

It’s now a financial and legal liability to use a wordpress theme that does not make real efforts to be accessible. If a business is using this theme without realizing they need to make serious changes to it, they could be sued for non-compliance with the ADA.

We encourage the theme author to make this a priority for the near future. The theme was great for building sites quickly, but the risk is too serious – we won’t be renewing our license or suggesting this theme to any clients until we see this issue has been taken seriously.

Hey hotdish, ADA compliance is still on the to-do list and Salient will likely have a targeted update for it later this year, however the next major update is focusing solely on the new Envato theme guidelines.

Please how can i reduce the height of the blog post header and also rename next post to just next?

Hey TruBrotha,

1. Can you share your URL so I can see your current blog header settings?

2. See the “blog_next_prev_buttons” function in salient/nectar/helpers/blog

Hey,

in the Salient options panel > blog tab, choose “Variable height minimal” for your “Blog Header Type”.

Hi ThemeNectar,

Nectar Slider is very cool, the lead time is very long!

Is it possible to set the nectar slider so that the slider is randomly loaded (without arrows) as a static image with text and buttons?

I’m appreciate your help

Hey vik_,

there’s no way to make the slider load a random slide without some custom development, however you can change the “Caption Transition” to “None” to get the text/buttons to show immediately on load.

Hi ThemeNectar,

I met an strange issue, the excerpt length setting seems doesn’t work on page http://whyweleave.com/home/

When I set “Single large featured” for a recent post section (like the banner section of the above page), the excerpts seems load all the content in paragraph format of the post. (whatever number I set in the excerpts length of the options panel)

I’ve tried add more wording to the test post, when it’s over 2000 words, it’s finally shows an ellipsis. Could you please help to guide me whatever may cause this issue?

I’m using version 10.0.1 of the theme.

Best, Spike

Hey Spike,

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

ticket #1974503 thanks!

Thank you jiafaspike :)

Hello! my website was hacked via Salient theme. I got this info on Bluehost, functions.php was injected :( how we can fix it?

Hey SiamNinja,

I’m sorry to hear that – there’s no such known security issues in Salient itself, however going off of the URL you shared (hellofromhony), there was a large scale attack relating to that starting 2 days ago targeting security exploits within the plugins “Yellow pencil” & “Yuzo related posts”

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/got-hacked-on-around-4-10-19-yes-it-was-this-plugin/

Did you by chance use one of those plugins?

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I was using Yellow Pencil :( and as I see now, this is why they suspended their plugin.

You’re welcome SiamNinja

Hi, in single project bottom navigation to the next and previous projects when I get to the first or last project it shows only an option to view next or previous. Is it possible to “loop” them and always display two of them next and previous?

Hey BigLittleFish,

As of now that would require a modification to the pagination function “project_single_controls”

Cheers

Halo there,

May i know how to change my portfolio permalink into project?

ex:https://example.com/portfolio/123/ to https://example.com/project/123/

Thank you very much.

Hey tommytai,

You can use the “Custom Slug” option in the Salient options panel > portfolio > functionality tab.

Cheers

Hello, can you sell me the html? I’m not interested in the ready theme, but in raw html.

Awaiting return.

Hey ricardocastelobranco, unfortunately Salient is not available in raw HTML

Hello, i have tried for hrs but cannot find a response, my menu bar above the logo and nav buttons have developed some padding, but I cannot remove, can you help? It looks like a big rectangle tiosq .com

Hey KiefferNYC,

I can’t seem to see the padding you’re referring to. Can you verify that it’s also visible when not logged in? If so, could you also provide a quick screenshot which shows it?

Thanks in advance

thx cleared cache :)

You’re welcome KiefferNYC :)

I am having trouble importing the demo content. It says “please wait” and shows 0% but nothing is happening. All required plugins are installed… not sure why it won’t import. Any input appreciated.

Hey courtneymcfarlane,

Have you verified that your PHP settings are high enough as listed in the docs here?
upload_max_filesize – greater than 24M
post_max_size – greater than 24M
max_execution_time – greater than 100
If so, 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 ,

this would be a feature request. I really love salient and would like to stick with it for a new portefolio site i need to build. But there is one missing feature i would love to see implemented in the next release. It’s the ability to have a true Masonry layout for the portefolio item layout. Today we only have access to grid and metro layout. We can’t reproduce this kind of True Masonry layout :

http://www.spab-rice.com/wordpress/dani/demo/2-columns-smart-scroll/ http://www.spab-rice.com/wordpress/dani/demo/3-columns-smart-scroll/ http://www.spab-rice.com/wordpress/dani/demo/2-columns-masonry/ http://www.spab-rice.com/wordpress/dani/demo/3-columns-masonry/

I have already buy dani template, but compare to salient it is far inferior in term of flexibility and power. So that would be fantastic to be able to use salient. Of course if it’s not on the priority list i will stick with dani template.

Cheers E

I’ve noted those items fantome_in :)

Cheers

Thanks !

You’re welcome fantome_in :)

Hi!

I need to change how the price looks on my salient site.

I want to change so that the actual price comes before the before-price see these images of where i want to change the formatting them: https://www.larsen.wf/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/price1.png https://www.larsen.wf/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/price.png https://www.larsen.wf/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/price2.png

In the Quickview i also want to change the styling so that i matches the product grid and on the product page.

Looking forward hearing from you!

Kind regards, Emil

Hey Emil :)

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


.woocommerce .price ins, 
.woocommerce ul.products li.product .price ins,
.nectar-quick-view-box .summary .price ins {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 10px;
}

.nectar-quick-view-box .summary .price del {
   color: rgba(145, 145, 145, 0.5);
    font-size: 0.67em;
}
.nectar-quick-view-box .summary .price ins span {
 color: #E54248 !important;
    font-weight: 600;
    text-decoration: none;
}

Cheers

In this code: }

.nectar-quick-view-box .summary .price ins span {
color: #E54248 !important;
   font-weight: 600;
   text-decoration: none;

The term: text-decoration: none;

Should be removing the underline from Quickview price. But it doesn’t work.

All the other worked perfectly!

See this: https://www.larsen.wf/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Udklip.png
