Hey! I wish to have a simple normal search box on my website, instead of the one you have. I have tried changing theme skin, but the search box is all the same. I want a simple one just like https://www.buchcopenhagen.dk. Furthermore, i have a top bar with some content – i want it to stay in position when i scroll, so it doesn’t disappear on scroll. My site is my-copenhagen.dk – i really hope you can help!

Is there anywhere, where I can view the 3 different styles.

Be awoke, there were 2 questions in my original post – you’ve only answered the one. Check this: Furthermore, i have a top bar with some content – i want it to stay in position when i scroll, so it doesn’t disappear on scroll. My site is my-copenhagen.dk

Hey Magnuspil,

1. The Centered Menu Bottom Bar header layout will force the use of the material skin, so in order to see the other skins take effect, that would have to be altered. Here’s an example of the other two search styles: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/

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


body.material[data-header-format="centered-menu-bottom-bar"] #header-secondary-outer {
 transform: none!important;
  position: fixed!important;
}
body.material #header-outer[data-using-secondary="1"][data-format="centered-menu-bottom-bar"] {
   transform: none!important;
}

Is there a way to disable animation for the milestones?

Hey csandstedt,

In the milestone element settings, change the “Animation Effect” to “Motion blur slide in” and then add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:


.nectar-milestone.motion_blur .number span {
    animation: none!important;
    -webkit-animation: none!important;
}

Cheers

Is there any way to increase the Content Area Width? No matter what I do, it will not get any wider. On a tablet, there is almost 1 inch of space on the left and right of the content area. I would like to somehow decrease those spaces.

Hey arteest,

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: 700px) {
.container, .post-area.standard-minimal.full-width-content article.post .inner-wrap {
    max-width: 690px;
}
}

when i activate transparent background for the header.. it doesn’t go away!! i still see the background white for the header?! help help

Hey lacostemedia, do you have the option enabled for “Use Transparent Header When Applicable” in the Salient options panel > header navigation > transparent header effect tab? If so, please share your URL in regards so I can take a look.

Thanks in advance

Hi, I was curios if one can mix photos and video on a single portfolio page, see the following link as an example I have in mind: https://www.ralphlauren.de/de/die-familien/70806 . Would appreciate if you could confirm similar design/layout is possible.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

A quick follow up: On the demo page all videos require first clicking on them and then they are essentially opened in a lightbox. Is it also possible to start and play them in-place (so to say) automatically once they are visible to user during scrolling? In this demo http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/home-portfolio-eye-candy/ you have this for the cover video, so I hope one can do the same for other video within the portfolio page.

Hey davydden,

Video backgrounds are also supported but they will play in a loop all the time rather than when scrolled into view only.

Cheers

Hi there,

On a custom post type single page template, is it possible to call in the transparent header somehow instead of the standard header? (Note: I don’t want to header to be permanent transparent for scrolling as well, just for when user is at the top of the page).

Hey roketto,

You could make a modification to the “using_page_header” (found in salient/nectar/helpers/page-header.php) function via a child theme in order to add your CPT into the logic. I’ve noted the idea to create a filter for this so it’s more easily extendable via a child theme.

Cheers

Hi, i need help because suddenly the frontend editor (the themebuilder) stopped working. If i try to add a section or a template nothing is happening. I need support as soon as possible, thanks.

Hey Honchomartin, 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 Also, let me know the ticket ID here once you’ve done so

Thanks in advance

Hey midnayws, thanks for clarifying. this issue has been fixed in the current beta. Please reach out via the contact form on my author page if you’d like access to it before it’s released soon: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks midnayws :)

Hi guys, there are any way to increase the speed of the text appear in the Box Roll Header???

Hey elias90, that would require javascript modifications to the salient/js/init.js file at this time

Can you explain me where i have to change to speed up the text appear? can you help me with this?

Hey elias90, we can’t provide the exact modification for you since it’s out of the scope of support, however you can search for the function “boxRoll” within the file to end up at the right location. Take a look at the values for timeout1 – timeout4. The CSS animations like “rotateCubeBottomIn” would also need to be adjusted in the css/box-roll.css file.

Hey! How do I remove the date from the blog page? I’ve removed it from individual posts but they’re still visible in the main blog page. My blog type is Masonry Blog W/ Sidebar.

Hey brad3577,

In the Salient options panel > blog > post meta tab, have you enabled the option for “Remove Post Date”? If so, please share your URL in regards so I can take a look

Thanks :)

Hello, Is there a way to stop the formatting, specifically and image, being stripped from a flip box (front). I’m trying to add a logo to the front with no luck.

Thanks, Dan

Hey Dan,

The front of the flip box content is stored as an attribute on the shortcode like so:

[nectar_flip_box front_content="content"][/nectar_flip_box]
so do to this limitation of WP, unfortunately anything added to it would have to be able to be stored in an attribute.

Hello, how I can edit a look of search results page, I want to add side bar like blog has and change style of a grid? https://cyklopedia.cc

Hey Fixedman,

The template which you can add into your child theme for customizations is salient/search.php

Cheers

Hi, i want to add tags to the products, like every eCommerce shop. But when i add it they dont show on the products, i try to find an option like Enabled or Disabled and didn’t find anything. How i can solve this? Thanks!

Hey Marcosk,

Tags should display on the single product page when assigned right under the category/sku. 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

Hey there, a quick presale question. I see that your demos have poor PageSpeed performance. E.g. http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate-2/ has following ratings: Desktop: 72 Mobile: 32 (https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fthemenectar.com%2Fdemo%2Fsalient-corporate-2%2F&tab=mobile)

Is it possible that you provide a link to a demo that has the scores advertised on theme page (97% in PageSpeed). It would help us to understand how the website can look like with Salient when it only uses elements/content that is focused on a great PageSpeed score.

Thank you very much!

Hey Zorrtis, the demo page you’ve linked does not currently have minifcation active for testing purposes, here’s one that does:

https://gtmetrix.com/reports/themenectar.com/AD3grNaP https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fthemenectar.com%2Fdemo%2Fsalient-slider-portfolio

Cheers

Hi there, May i know how to increase the font size for “Project Excerpt” in portfolio?

Thank you so much

Hey tommytai :)

In the Salient options panel > typography > nectar specific elements tab, you can use the “Portfolio Caption/Excerpt” field in regards.

Cheers

Why does ThemeForest require theme developers to split the functionality into plugins? that is very bad actually, plugins slow down the site and database, they are also bad for security.

What functionality is going to split into plugins from Salient and how many plugins are going to be used other than VC?

Thanks

Hey toolbox101,

The plugins Salient will provide will simply be adding pieces of the existing code that previously was directly apart of the theme. Envato has chosen to enforce this mainly so that when users decide to switch themes, all of the content will no longer be lost. Further explanation can be found in the official forum thread here: https://forums.envato.com/t/wordpress-requirements-update-and-new-gutenberg-optimized-attribute/207103 – in the case of Salient, one additional plugin will be required, though there will be other optional plugins which separate the custom post types/demo importer/social etc which won’t be mandatory to use unless desired.

Hello, is there a way to overwrite this call: vc_lean_map(‘nectar_blog’, null, $nectar_template_dir . ’/nectar/nectar-vc-addons/nectar_maps/nectar_blog.php’); ? I managed to get custom post types to work with the Visual Composer but I need to add a dropdown for the blog component in the admin.

Thank you in advance.

Hey midfieldco, you can use this in a child theme functions.php:


add_action('vc_before_init', 'salient_child_custom_maps');

function salient_child_custom_maps() {
    vc_remove_element("nectar_blog");
}

Cheers

Hi there,

I’m looking to overwrite the map.js file in the js folder in order to add snazzy maps styling. I want to overwrite it within my child theme however (so I would have /themes/salient-child/js/map.js). Is this possible by dequeuing the script or any other way?

Thank you

Hey roketto,

That particular script is late enqueued through the element itself, so it would harder to dequeue in a child theme. I’ve noted it on the to-do list to register it within the default theme enqueue-scripts.php to avoid this issue.

Cheers
