​I recently followed the instructions to install the Salient Core and now the homepage keeps loading and wont’ stop. Please advise asap. Running WordPress 5.2.2 and PHP 7.1. https://ltsprotective.com/

Hey infinitelinx, I’m currently able to access your URL without seeing that issue: https://ibb.co/bRzmkYL have you tried to clear your browser cache since doing the update? If so, please let me know which browser/OS you’re testing on so I can try to replicate it.

Thanks in advance

It’s no longer happening. Thank you.

Glad to hear infinitelinx :)

Cheers

I am geeting an error in product pages, the tiele for “Aditional information” has an issue since last update. https://www.boometi.com/producto/camisa-clint-lino-rosa-maquillaje/

Hey Lacasadelmarketing, the URL you’ve shared appears to not be using Salient as the active theme. Have you switched the theme since posting your comment or is it just heavily modified?

Child theme is showing the child CSS, without the CSS being enqueued in the child theme functions file. How can this be? Where is the child CSS being loaded from? I want to change how it is enqueued, but cannot find why it is even being loaded!

Hey rednosemonkey, it’s enqueued from the nectar/helpers/enqueue-styles.php file. If you’re enqueing it from the child theme, it will override it so you don’t need to explicitly remove the parent enqueue unless you didn’t want it enqueuing all together

Thanks. Found it! Okay, I’ll leave it as I have then.

You’re welcome rednosemonkey

Hi! I have a couple of questiones: a) How do I insert a CTA on the header as seen on some of the demo? b) How do I import or configure the footer? I understand this can be done by setting up the layout on the theme config, and then using widgets… but is it any way to import exactly as one of the demo? I am using the corporate creative template, but wanted to have the footer of the “Business” version. c) Is there a way I can set different size for images or rows when they scale down to mobile? The solution that I am using at the moment is duplicating rows of content and showing one in desktop and hiding the other and vice versa. Is there another workaround?

Thanks

Hey bullmetrix!

A: We have docs on that here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/header-button-links/

B: The Salient importer gives you the option to import widgets only – just uncheck the other items from the demo importer: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/demo-importer.jpg

C: When editing a column, you can use the “Responsive Options” tab to select the width of any column in all of the various viewports: https://ibb.co/yYKM07R

Hey webjamarea,

WooCommerce allows you to define your own image sizes via the Customizer > WooCommerce settings: https://woocommerce.wordpress.com/2017/12/11/wc-3-3-image-size-improvements/

Hi ThemeNectar,

Is there a way to make parent menu-items clickable in the Left Header Layout? I want to be able to visit the site itself, and not just have it as a name.

Hey qshi, the salient/js/init.js file at the “clickToggleSubmenus” function :)

Thank you so much!

You’re welcome qshi :)

Hi ThemeNectar,

Is there an easy way to flip the 4 Columns Alt footer layout, so that the widest column is over on the right?

Cheers, Sam

Hey Sam, 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) {
#footer-widgets[data-cols="5"] .container .row > div:first-child {
    float: right;
}
}

Ah brilliant, works a treat. Thank you so much for the quick response

Glad I could help drummeragency :)

Hi, can I change the zoom “Slight zoom out” in page headers?... I need the same effect, but slower, is it possible change only duration?

Hey MarcelaPuchulu,

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) {

body #page-header-wrap #page-header-bg[data-animate-in-effect="zoom-out"] .page-header-bg-image-wrap {
    -webkit-transition: 2.95s 0s cubic-bezier(0.3,0.58,0.42,0.9);
    transition: 2.95s 0s cubic-bezier(0.3,0.58,0.42,0.9);
}

}

Hi ThemeNectar,

Can you please let me know how to remove the 3 vertical line menu icon from the navigation bar as seen in the image via the link below.

https://send.firefox.com/download/c5ba9f50a2be2b21/#nP9TQkomxBoqLrNONK_g9Q

Best, Alan

In addition to the comment above. I was able to get the mobile menu to appear but non of my pages appear on the slide out menu.

Any ideas why that would be happening?

Thanks again for all your help.

Best, Alan

You can ignore this comment as I was able to figure it out and solve my issues.

Hey Alan,

Glad to hear you were able to sort it

Is there a way to place the main navigation below an image/slideshow like this site? https://www.conconow.com/

Hey lindsayclineco,

This would only be possible when using the page submenu element in the page builder, there’s no option for this on the main nav bar currently

I updated to Salient 10.5.3, and my testimonial slider is only showing testimonials for 1 slide, the other slides are blank even though the content is present. I also created a test page and the testimonials appear correctly on the test page, but not on the production page http://speakerdynamics.com/books/#kudos

Hey Russel, Please reach out via the contact form on my author page with a temporary admin login so I can take a closer look at that specific page: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks in advance

I can’t find a way of changing the header padding size specifically for mobile.. the only way I can do this is by changing the icon size.

Is there a way of changing the header padding size only for mobile?

Have tried the default option in the salient settings and this only appears to affect on the desktop version.

Hey Joshuats, you can also use the following for the padding only:

@media only screen and (max-width: 999px) and (min-width: 1px) {
body #header-outer {
    padding: 5px 0!important;
}
}

How to Increase mobile icon size without affecting the heading padding on mobile ?

Hey Joshuats,

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


#top .slide-out-widget-area-toggle a span {
    transform: scale(1.4);
}

​So i’m updating a handful of my old sites that use salient… before I start on 5 more (like i’m gonna purchase five more this week if I can fix this). I just migrated all my stuff to a kube cluster using the stable/wordpress helm chart. So the 5 sites I just updated use php 7.3. Everything works like a charm except your admin dashboard.

Its putting together the path incorrectly when requesting the redux stuff and 404ing. ”/wp-content/plugins/bitnami/wordpress/wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/redux-framework/ReduxCore/inc/fields/color/field_color.min.js?ver=1564974921” I’m pretty sure this is all php related salient issues. It’s totally broken.

I’m just trying to gauge if this issue of php 7.3 is going to be addressed. I’d feel a lot more comfortable moving forward with 5 new purchases.

Again this is purchase/sales related question so please treat it as such.

Hey jereckley, Salient has been tested with 7.3 for a while now – this issue sounds related to your WP structure rather than the PHP version itself. Have you tried to install the Redux options framework plugin yet to see if that corrects the issue? https://wordpress.org/plugins/redux-framework/ By doing so, the admin framework Salient uses will be able to load from the plugins directory instead

Wow… great info. Yes that worked. It’s so good to see that after this long you guys are still supporting the theme so well! For what its worth you guys have my business for the next round of sites I’m working through. Thanks!

Glad I could help out jereckley :)

Is the full-width gallery of images on this sample page http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-band/preparing-for-the-tour/ comprised of fancy boxes that link to a gallery upon clicking? I can’t find the template and am having a hard time duplicating this layout. Thanks.

nevermind … got it.

Glad to hear you were able to find it blazoneer :) For anyone else who may come across this – there are docs on creating an image gallery like that located here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/galleries/#imagegrid

Hi tech support, although I know that my support has ended, I believe that my question is related to a product quality itself.

I was on version 8.5.3, and recently, each time I try to change or update something via Salient Options Panel I have started to get error msg “There was a problem with your action. Please try again or reload the page.” – so now I can not update or change anything via the options panel.

I ve performed the following:

1) Did an extensive research online on the issue 2) Disabled all other plugins 3) Updated to the Salient version 10.5.3 4) Contacted BlueHost team to see if they can resolve the issue 5) Asked BlueHost team to check server AJAX settings 6) Updated to the latest PHP 7.3

Nothing helped…

Could anyone please help me to find out what is going on? How can I continue to use my Salient theme and change settings via Options Panel?

Thanks

Hey ksandqsproduction, In almost all cases that error is caused by a security module (Mod Security) on the server which is blocking the AJAX saving feature. If you’ve also verified that is not the case in your setup, could you please reach out directly Via the contact form on my author page here with a temporary admin login so I can take a closer look? : https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks in advance

Dear ThemeNectar team,

Before opening a ticket I ve decided to contact the BlueHost team again, just to make sure. Here is an outcome:

1) If you are using BlueHost as a hosting service and need help with issues being resolved – make sure you contact them via the phone (not chat!).

I ve talked to three different tech support representatives over the chat and all of them confirmed that server Mod Security is not causing any issues and that I need to contact the Salient theme authors.

During my last talk with BlueHost representative, I ve decided to contact them over the phone to confirm again that no changes to a server Mod Security needed. To my surprise – the representative appeared to be very helpful, and actually requested his higher management to apply the change to a server. (Which means that nothing was done prior to resolve an issue)

2) At BlueHost it takes around 24 hours for them to approve a change request on a server (including the Mod Security one). After it is done – they usually send you a confirmation letter like this: “Upon reviewing the account, there was a mod_security rule on the link wp-admin/admin-ajax.php of the website yoursite.com which seems to be causing the issue. I have whitelisted the rule. Please try to make the update to the theme now…”

3) All that being said – it fixed my issue! Now everything works perfect! Theme Salient works awesome and is not the source of a problem. I’ve also searched other forums of other themes. As ThemeNectar tech said – 99% is that the problem is caused by hosting server and you or I need to contact the hosting company representative.

Issue resolved. Thank you very much! :)

Hey ksandqsproduction, thanks for the detailed response in regards. Glad to hear you got it sorted :)

I just purchased Salient theme. I got the errors when I activate Salient core and Salient wpbakery. Any advice?

Warning: require_once(/home/content/p3pnexwpnas08_data03/89/2838189/html/wp-content/plugins/salient-core/includes/salient-studio-templates.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas08_data03/89/2838189/html/wp-content/plugins/salient-core/includes/wpbakery-init.php on line 152

Hey charliewannyc,

It appears from the error that some files never got unzipped when installing the Salient Core plugin. i.e.:

/wp-content/plugins/salient-core/includes/wpbakery-init.php 
/wp-content/plugins/salient-core/includes/salient-studio-templates.php

Have you tried to check on your server via FTP to verify whether they exist yet? If they are not present, you could manually install the plugin by unzipping it and uploading it to /wp-content/plugins/. All of the Salient plugins are Included directly in the theme at salient/plugins

Hi—I have an issue where my most recent post https://thefictionstoryroom.com/story-ideas-and-writing-prompts/ is not showing up in the blog roll here https://thefictionstoryroom.com/screenwriting-tips-and-articles/

It is supposed to be the top post but it does not show in safari or firefox. It only shows when I am logged into my account under chrome.

At first I thought it was a caching issue but I have cleared my cache in all browsers and checked on three separate computers and have the same result.

Hey JayCarver,

I’m currently able to see that post displaying: https://ibb.co/SxZCmd7 are you still unable to see it from your end?

Hello,

Is there a way to set the offset for # link? Maybe from the source file or something?

Because I want the ”#div” to be shown on the center of the screen.

Hey effective_advisory,

To modify this you would need to edit the js/init.js file within Salient – look for the function “animatedAnchorLinks” to end up at the right location. With there at the bottom, the nectar_scrollToY is what actually scrolls to page

Cheers

Hi—is there a way to remove the category tags within the header of my blog posts? https://www.whydontyouknowthis.com/side-jobs-that-make-you-more-money/ if so, then where would I find this setting?

Hey JayCarver,

Add this into the custom CSS box in the Salient options panel:

#page-header-bg[data-post-hs="default_minimal"] .inner-wrap >a {
  display: none;
}

Cheers
