Hey

i updated wordpress to the most recent udpate and now nectar shortcodes dont work so my whole backend looks like a mess. How can i fix this issue? i thank you

Have you also installed the required salient plugins? i.e. Salient Core, Salient Shortcodes etc. If so, please reach out via the contact form on my author page with a temporary admin account so I can take a closer look https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

ah i found the issue. i also update the plugin “WP SEO Structured Data Schema ” and for some reason that was causing nectar shortcodes to not work. i’ve gone ahead and disabled it for the time being.

Hey dman987, thanks for letting me know.

Hi guys in there any way of changing the easing values for split line heading?? eg if i wanted to set the easing to “easeinoutquint” would that be possible?

Hey bachuramadhikari,

The Split line heading will use the easing which is defined in the Salient options panel > general settings > functionality tab at the field titled “Column/Image Animation Easing”

Hi, after the last updated I got an error with the cart. The cart redirect to home , view cart or checkout is redirecting to homepage

Hey oxymoagencia,

Are you able to view the cart and checkout pages normally now?

Hi Themenectar, Yes, but is wierd create the pages manually to make it work

Hey oxymoagencia,

I’m not sure how they could have gotten removed by updating alone, but WooCommerce also offers an option to regenerate any missing template pages automatically

You can find that option in the WP Dashboard > WooCommerce > Status tab. Once there, click on Tools tab from the top left area and scroll down to Create default WooCommerce pages

Hi again :) I’ve set my portfolio page to Meta from bottom on hover + entire thumb link – which works perfect on laptops/desktops and mobiles (with one column) – anything with mouse or trackpad. However doesn’t work on iPad – basically it doesn’t work on touch – you can’t bring the meta up – you just go directly to the item. Is there a way around this? Regards, Beata

PS You you want me to add the css snipper you sent me so you can see if it works?

PS PS I noticed that on Home page > Recent Project Slider (set to Meta on Hover + entire thumb link) works perfectly with touch on mobile devices. However on Portfolio page (same setting) it doesn’t.

Thanks b1b, here’s a different snippet to try which I just tested on your site:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1024px) {

body .portfolio-items .col .work-item.style-4 .work-info .bottom-meta {
    bottom: 0;
    transform: none!important;
    position: relative!important;
}
body .portfolio-items .work-item.style-4 .work-info {
    position: static;
    padding: 0;
    height: auto;
}
body .portfolio-items .work-item.style-4 img {
  transform: none!important
}

}

If that does not work for you, 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 there,

If you have a look on the homepage of http://tiny.cc/ixsgcz, you will see that I have two blog shortcode elements – the Recent Posts and the Blog – see http://prntscr.com/p3zupx

My problem is that on gtmetrix, I get the error that I should serve scaled images. Unlike WPBakery Visual Composer, with the Salient Composer I don’t see an option where I can set the images to be thumbnails, would you be so kind and point me in the right direction?

Thank you!

Hey strongcbdoil! The material masonry blog style uses the “large” image size, which you can set in the wp-admin Settings > Media. Once you’ve set that, you can also run this to regenerate all existing images on the server: https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

Cheers

Are there plans to implement any other Text Effects for the Page Header text (and subtitle for that matter) besides Rotate In? You have a ton of effects available in other areas of text and figured it would be here too.

I can’t seem to target the Page Header Text or Page Header Subtitle via CSS to simply add it manually. I know this can be done with a row and text within (similar to the Corporate Creative) but I was getting all kinds of weird responsive issue and even pages that would leave a 10-20 pixel solid color band across the top of the header background.

Thanks.

Hey spencer55, i’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist. For now it would indeed require custom CSS. If you can share your current URL where the responsive issues are appearing, I’d be glad to take a look to assist.

Is it possible to prevent the fancy boxes from automatically increasing the text size when the window is larger than about 1300px wide?

http://79.170.40.173/ukchallange.co.uk/about

Thanks

Hey MarcGarner,

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) {
.nectar-fancy-box[data-style="parallax_hover"] h2 {
  font-size: 36px!important;
  line-height: 37px!important;
}
}

Cheers

Is it possible to change js to have logos smooth scroll instead of cycling through logos one by one? I don’t want the carousel to pause. I want a constant animation.

Can you help me modifying the Init.js?

Thanks

Hey jstech1,

Unfortunately, the carousel script that the clients carousel uses does not offer an option for that. It would require custom modding.

Cheers

Yes, can you help me out to customizing it? That’s what I said above, please :)

Hey jstech1, that customization is out of the scope of what I can provide for you here. From your end, it would be easier to implement a different carousel script which offers that continuous movement option.

Recent Posts > (Multiple Large Featured) > After upgrading, I am unable find how to modify the php to add a snippet above the title of the featured post. I understand it is not recommended to modify the core php but I need to add a custom snippet to display a context below between the title and Author.

Previously I believe it was in shortcode-processing.php of nectar editor

Looking only for a hint. Thanks

Hey mediaroot,

The relevant code is now contained within the salient-core plugin. The full path to the file is salient-core/includes/vc_templates/recent_posts.php

Cheers

Hi TN!

I tried this solution (https://themeforest.net/comments/14220953) to make the Nectar Slide heading H1.

But, it did not work.

For SEO it is of great value if we can make the heading into a H1 instead of letting it stand there with H2 tag.

Can you please tell me how I can make the nectar slide heading H1?

Hey hookieoalo, as of v10.5 the code for that is now kept within the salient-nectar-slider plugin. The full path is salient-nectar-slider/includes/frontend/helpers.php The function can still be copied into a child theme as well.

Cheers

I am on a lower version, where the lines are still in function.php file.

this:

{ $slider .=  '

'.$slide_title.'

'; }[code]

does not work, it doesn’t change the headings to H1, even when I replace h2 with h1.

What to do? Also, please take this into the next update. It is of huge value for SEO to have sliding header in H1!

Hey hookieoalo, the option to select the heading tag via the Nectar Slider page builder element has been added into the current beta. If you’d like access, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Hey man—is there any way to remove the word “Category” on the category pages? https://www.whydontyouknowthis.com/category/financial-growth/

Hey JayCarver,

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


.archive.category #page-header-bg .subheader { display: none; }

Cheers

Hello. How can I turn the Page Header off?

I still have a gap at the top of the page when I hide the portfolio header and put no content in the header. I just want the page to start right below the header.

Thanks!

On my theme for version 9, I don’t list any content for Page Header and it ignores any page header. But with 10.5, it seems to recognize a page header even if there is not data put into that module. Or rather it adds padding.

Actually, I see why it is happening. I want background image behind the navigation and I’ve been doing that with the Page Header module. Sorry, I will need to find another way to add the texture to the header

Hey joshuabbutler, I’m glad you sorted it out

Hi there, I am using nectar slider with a height of 400px so my text (services) is visible on a desktop right below the slider. On a mobile the slider is to small so I can use flexibe height. But then the height of desktop is too big. Is there an other solution to do this? I can’t find the right css class to change the mobile settings.

Hey ponchovogel,

You can use the following instead:


@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
.parallax_slider_outer, .nectar-slider-wrap, .swiper-slide, .swiper-container, .swiper-wrapper {
   height: 100vh!important;
}
}

yes, I should know vh will do the job, Thx for helping out again. 100vh was a bit too much because of the menu so 90vh is working great.

Glad to hear ponchovogel  :)

Hi there,

When will your new update come out with features and demos? If so, is this a major update? Or just an update for bugs?

You have already indicated several times that this is always within a few weeks. And that I can register as a beta user. But after several registrations that I get no response to, and after several months I see nothing coming by.

I wish you a pleasant weekend. And I hope you can tell me what the status is. “and this time an honest answer ;-)”

I am very happy with your theme. Cheers guys! Keep up the good work. Hope to hear from you soon.

Hey again ruimdenker,

as of today, it’s still slated for about one week.

Cheers

Ah great news. Are we talking about Salient v.11.0?

That’s correct ruimdenker :)

Hi,

I’m having a few issues with the theme and I wonder if you can help.

1. On the Nectar Slider. There seems to be a small flashing line which pops up across the background image, and I’m not sure why? You can view this here:

https://www.windsorinteriorsleeds.co.uk/home/

2. When using a Portfolio grid, the images bunch up and overlay onto each other. You can view this under ‘Collection’ here:

https://www.windsorinteriorsleeds.co.uk/bedrooms/

3. Finally, I was wondering if it was possible to have 8 columns in 1 row and how would I do this. i tried setting a custom layout: 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 but this comes up with an error.

Thanks in advance.

Jack

Hi,

To answer your questions:

1. Which browser/OS are you seeing this occur on? So far I haven’t been able to replicate it on my end.

It’s on Chrome on Desktop – I’ve tried on multiple devices and have the same issue.

2. You need to disable the “lazy loading” feature for the page you’re using the portfolio grid on in order to allow the javascript to caluclate properly. It looks like that functionality is coming from the wp smushit plugin that you have active.

Thanks this solved the issue.

3. Currently there is no option built in for that column distribution unfortunately. The setup would need to be manually coded at this time.

Do you have any easy to add code for me to achieve 8 columns? :)

Hey jackcweston,

1. I was also using Chrome when testing – are you on Windows 10 with the latest Chrome? Can you also see the line on the demo here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/nectar-slider

3. You would need to use custom HTML code such as
<div class="col-1-8"> content here </div>
<div class="col-1-8"> content here </div>
<div class="col-1-8"> content here </div>

etc.

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


.col-1-8 {
  width: 12.5%;
  padding: 10px;
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.col-1-8 {
  width: 25%;
}
}

Cheers

Thanks for your response. For 2. I have recorded the issue son you can see here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yNzSuf-rWyqFmc-V-p-Q_um43sy1aQ2g/view?usp=sharing

I’m suing the latest Chrome on macOS Mojave.

Hi! On my website, www.bullmetrix.com, the hero template that I am using for the front page, changes background image once per day. I checked on the wp bakery, how to “filter” which images can be displayed, but it does not seem to work (it only shows one image, which is not the image displayed on the site). Where can I set up which images are eligible to show up? Thanks

Hey bullmetrix!

Templates in the Salient studio make use of “daily” and “weekly” sample (placeholder) images from unsplash. If you switch into the “Classic mode” editor, you’ll see the image URL like so: https://source.unsplash.com/featured/daily/?office If you upload an actual image to the row, it will stop changing.

Cheers

Hello, I created a page with columns and at the top I have: [icon color=”Extra-Color-3” size=”large” image=”icon-mobile-phone”]

When I set row to ‘full width content’ I get wide columns. The icon has a bg and a hover color: [class=”icon-”].icon-3x, i[class=” icon-”].icon-3x

When I change to ‘full width bg’ which I want, the icon is transparent with a hover color: .full-width-section i[class=”icon-”].icon-3x, .full-width-section i[class=” icon-”].icon-3x

I tried to change the background-color to white, but then the hover is also white and removes the icon.

.full-width-section i[class^=”icon-”].icon-3x, .full-width-section i[class*=” icon-”].icon-3x { background-color: white!important; }

What is the best solution to get the same icons as ‘full width content?

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


.full-width-section .light i:not(.hovered) .circle-border {
    background-color: #fff;
}
.full-width-section [class^="icon-"]:before, .full-width-section [class*=" icon-"]:before {
    z-index: 10;
    position: relative;
}

Perfect! Thank you :)

You’re welcome ponchovogel :)

Question – will the next iteration have the ability to remove the sidebar in a portfolio item and/or an option to turn off the floating share button on a portfolio item? I have a client who is considering salient as an option but these two things a both a turn off. Thoughts?

I take it back. I just found the toggle for the sidebar portfolio, and can use display:none; for the floating share button. Thank you!

Hey Wednesday_Designs,

Glad to hear you sorted it :)

Hi TN,

Any plans on integrating Elementor instead of WP Bakery? Elementor works so much easier and is way more advanced.

Hey htusco, as of now we’re open to the idea, but there is nothing set in stone.

Any progress on Elementor?

Hey htusco,

There has not been development on switching to Elementor. However, the next update will be bringing many new page builder options to the existing WPBakery builder.

Cheers

After latest WP update, the FA icons are no longer working on our client’s site. Any idea of how to fix this? I’ve noticed it on arrows being replaced with empty boxes on Nectar sliders and social media icons replaced with empty boxes.

Hey MonologueHQ,

Please share your URL in regards so I can take a closer look

Thanks in advance

Hi, it’s ok – I managed to fix it. Thanks.

I’m glad to hear MonologueHQ :)
