​Hello,

The video in the background of our website doesn’t work on a mobile phone. We’re using the lastest version of Salient V11.0

In a previous of Salient Theme V​9.0.1 with the same settings the video in the background works fine.

​The background video is set in the first row of the page.

Can u explain why a previous version of Salient Theme works with a video background and the latest version does not?

Thanks Vestacom, Can you confirm that in the Salient options panel > general settings > functionality tab that you do not have the option for “Disable Video Backgrounds On Mobile Devices” enabled?

Thank you, the option was disabled.

Glad I could help Vestacom

Hello,

i want the Top Navigation to be my main menu. It shows up – no problem. But even though i turned off the Off Canvas Navigation, it shows up too on mobile. On desktop its fine, it doesnt appear. But on mobile. So i got 2 menus on mobile.

How can i turn off the Off Canvas Navigation for mobile?

Thank you for your time, mate!

Kind Regards, Michael

Excuse me, i forgot to mention that we hired an agency to built us a website and they obviously purchased the license for Salient.

Hey Michael :)

It sounds like you’re using an outdated version of Salient. Since the past year or so, all mobile menu items will be combined into one mobile menu instead of splitting up into two. You can find the documentation on updating here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/

Cheers

Two last things hopefully!

1. The header navigation jumps from side to side when loading, and so when you click on it, you sometimes click on the wrong link. 2. Leaflet maps on mobile, is there a way to make it non scrollable on mobile, as the length of my map means you get lost within the map and can’t get back scrolling on the page.

Hey Utopia_Creative!

1. Could you please allow me to bypass the coming soon plugin?

2. 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) {
.leaflet-container { pointer-events: none; }
}

Cheers

Yes that worked great, thanks!

Yes sorry I’ve disabled the coming soon plugin.

1. Main header nav jumps from left to right

2. I am also having an issue with the mobile menu not opening, it seems to be a conflict with autoptimize, but only happened after the update.

I’ve turned off autoptimize so you can see, is there any js you can pinpoint that I can exclude from being optimised to fix this issue? Or any other solution, I also saw in another comment someone else recently had this issue.

https://viscum.co.uk/

Hey Utopia_Creative,

1. The jumping is occurring because you have a lazy loading feature enabled through a plugin. If you turn that off or exclude the logo image (as it should not be lazy loaded), that issue should resolve.

2. We use Autoptimize on the demos and are unaware of compatibility issues. Have you ensured that the cached minified scripts have been completely cleared after updating? If old files are still being used in the minified versions, scripting errors could occur

Cheers

Hello there, for some reason my project attributes style is missing. The check icons are missing, they are displayed in the code but not showing up. Am I missing something?? Please help. Here is one portfolio project openen: https://www.marcodegroen.com/portfolio/blackstone-christmas-menu/

How can I get all styles and icons back like this?? http://preview.themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266?_ga=2.91693594.1640862886.1572353320-1241017643.1569832481

Hey marcodegroen,

It looks like there’s a plugin conflict causing that – I’ve noted to fix this for the next release. For now you can add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:

body .project-attrs li i:before {
 font: normal normal normal 14px/1 FontAwesome;
 content: "\f058";
}
   

Cheers

Awesome this is making the check icons appear. your the best. It is caused by a plugin I guess that is correct. But I have not found out which one yet. Image optimizers such as mush and optimole also screwed up some things in the theme so I removed those plugins also.

Glad I could help marcodegroen :)

Hi! Can I add “og:image“ for my page header image (blog post)?

Hey AlexanderMJ, when using a plugin such as Yoast SEO, you can define the open graph image as desired per page/post

Hi there I got a question. For some reason my code has changed for the portfolio page. The vertical images are now not scaled anymore in the container. Please see: https://www.marcodegroen.com/portfolios/

Below is the code of the Portfolio Fullwidth Default. What do I need to adjust in the code in order to get all containers filled up nicely with the images?

Code:

vc_row type=”in_container” bg_position=”left top” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”0” bottom_padding=”0”]vc_column width=”1/1”[/vc_column][/vc_row

Hey marcodegroen,

1. I’m seeing the gallery images contained in the sidebar but am unclear on what you mean by “the content of each portfolio item is dropping below the content” – could you kindly provide a screenshot depicting the issue?

2. Can you verify that you have the option enabled “Auto Lightbox Image Links” in the Salient options panel > general settings > functionality tab?

Cheers

Hello, I have enabled the Auto lightbox image links option and the problem with the gallery is solved!! thanks

You’re welcome marcodegroen :)

Hi,

A few question,

1. Are there any restrictions on logo height? For example, can a 100 px high logo be made to display full height in all devices?

2. In the mobile menus in the demos, there is no symbol (like an arrow or plus sign) next to menu items that have child/nested menus. Is there a switch to display these symbols?

Thanks,

David

Hey David,

1. You can define the logo height that you need for both mobile and desktop.

2. There is an option to make the submenu open via a dropdown arrow in the mobile menu.

Cheers

Remind me, where does one edit the texts ‘Previous Project’ and ‘Next Project’ on the portfolio-nav controls in 11.0.1?

Also, all I need is to remove the work ‘Project’ out of ‘Previous Project’ and ‘Next Project’. Can this not be done in a future proof way?

Hey quomo,

The function “nectar_project_single_controls” located in wp-content/plugins/salient-portfolio/includes/frontend/helpers.php Can be copied to your child theme functions.php file for modifications. The changes in there will persist through all future updates :)

Kind regards,

Is it possible to CSS a custom hover Colour for the new fancy box hover description boxes?

Additionally is there also a way to use a gradient for the hover colour? Even if it is an accent colour gradient. Thanks.

Hey MarcGarner,

You can use the following:


.nectar-fancy-box[data-style="hover_desc"]:before {
    background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(0,0,0,0), #ada08e 100%)!important;
}

Is your theme compatible with https://docs.gravityflow.io/article/272-blocks? The settings panel seems to be missing.

Hey loneprairiecamp,

Could you kindly reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Did so, thanks.

Thanks loneprairiecamp

How do i create an item like this in my blog? https://imgur.com/AWFNIyS

It should contain the name of the product, description, image and Buy button. Please help

Hey saurabhn,

There is no element exactly like that in Salient. You would either need to manually create it by using page builder elements (single image, text block, button) or use the WooCommerce Product element to add a specific product to your page with an add to cart button.

Hello how I can change overall website width? http://celinaxu.com/

Hey Fixedman,

On your home page http://celinaxu.com/ you’re using a full width content row type for the header and post grid. Therefore, the content will always fill the entire width of the screen. Please edit the rows to be “full width background” instead

ok thank you, but header is still wider even after changing Full Width Header to “off”

Hey Fixedman,

When using the “Slide out from right hover” off canvas menu style, a full width menu is forced. If you change that to the non hover version, the header layout will be constrained as normal

what is the css to change the footer header font to larger and different color

Hey brianfreeman,

The header font can be altered via the Salient options panel > typography tab and the coloring can be altered in the header navigation tab by setting your header color scheme to “custom”

Cheers

No sorry for the confusion. I’m looking the footer menu headers. I know if I change the settings via the typography section that will also change the buttons. I just wanna change the footer menu headers

Hey brianfreeman, Add the following CSS in regards:


body #footer-outer .widget h4 {
    font-family: Lovelo,sans-serif;
    letter-spacing: 2px;
    font-size: 14px;
}

If in the description of my images I add an html link to an external page it still continues to break the functionality of the page. See: http://www.oceanwildlifephoto.com/ocean-gallery/corals-seascapes/

The fix used to be in the vc_gallery.php page. Changing line 363 to:

if(!empty($attachment_meta[‘description’])) echo ‘title=”’.htmlentities($attachment_meta[‘description’], ENT_QUOTES).’”’;

On your new design this code is no longer in there. Any ideas how I can fix this problem in your new code? And, are you ever going to fix this problem? I have been requesting it for over 2 years now and you say you’re adding it to your to-do list of fixes but nothing has ever been done. Fixing this every time there is an update is getting old. Come on guys, please.

Thanks!

Hey LazR,

The new location of that file is within the salient-core plugin at salient-core/includes/vc_templates/vc_gallery.php

Thanks for noting this again :)

Cheers

Hi, I just installed the newest update and it has broken a few things, can you please help? the website is ianhoneyman.com . If answering this requires renewing my support let me know and I will. Thank you!!

- my logo on the top right is no longer centered up/down, it is closer to the top then the bottom. On smaller/mobile screen sizes it centers.

- the nav underline to show hover/selection is black now instead of orange. “Header Font Hover” is set to orange in the header nav options.

- the dropdown (“Media”) is separated from the nav bar, and the hover color is blue instead of orange.

I made sure to reset all caches/ and disabled WPRocket to make sure.

Hey johnbosler,

it looks like there are styles loading from salient/style.css in your setup which no longer exist in the theme – that file is now empty of styles as of v10.5.

Could you please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page so I can take a closer look at the setup?

Cheers

Thank you, just emailed.

Thanks John

Hi, I have a problem with the video player.

When I press preview post, player looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/mVbnar0.jpg But when I publish post, video player looks broken: https://i.imgur.com/khSbTIN.png

Thanks Amidal,

It looks like the lazy loading feature you have enabled within wp rocket is causing that. You can either disable that feature or add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:

.wpb_video_widget.vc_video-aspect-ratio-169 .wpb_video_wrapper {
   padding: 0!important;
}

.rll-youtube-player img {
    max-width: 100%!important;
    width: 100%!important;

}
.wpb_video_widget .wpb_video_wrapper > div {
    position: relative!important;
}

Thank you, it solved player position issue, but now video preview is moved up a bit https://i.imgur.com/CtBcCbH.jpg

How can I fix that?

Hey Amidal,

I currently can’t see that occur from my end. Could you let met know what browser version you’re on?

Thanks in advance

​Hola! quisiera consultar por qué no es posible utilizar Elementor con este theme, en lugar de Bakery Page Builder. Este es malo, no es lo suficientemente flexible y cómodo como sí lo es Elementor. ¿Será que tienen en planes a futuro que Salient también pueda usarse con Elementor?

Gracias!

Hey GiuliZapata, currently there are no plans to integrate Elementor into Salient, But it’s possible in future we will.

Is your theme compatible with Slider Revolution? Thanks

Hey wcgpros,

Yes, Salient will work with Revolution Slider. Kindly let me know if you have any issues.

Cheers

Hi Theme Nectar

Just a quick question, how can I reduce the size of the video Lightbox popup. I would like to make it smaller but only in the desktop view, It’s possible?

Thank you very much in advance. Regards

Hey Asere,

Ensure that you’re using “fancybox3” as your lightbox script in the Salient options panel > general settings > functionality tab and 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) {
.fancybox-slide { padding: 300px; }
}

Cheers

Hi, I love the look of the full-width Masonry image grid gallery with bypass image cropping enabled, but it loads so slowly and gets a 0% score on GTmetrix (serve scaled images) as the gallery is loading full-res images for thumbnails. Is there any way to remedy this?

I tried the gallery with Masonry Grid Sizing (Photography Based), it fixes the scaled images issue but the thumbnails are don’t look nearly as good as they do with bypass image cropping enabled.

Can I customize Masonry Grid Sizing so that Regular, Wide & Tall attributes are the same ratio as the thumbs when bypass image cropping is enabled? I just need a regular item of 495×315 and tall item of 495×750. Thank you!

Hey MistahT,

in the “image size” field within the image gallery element, have you tried to specify one of WordPress sizes such as “large”? This will ensure the image remains uncropped but also will provide a more appropriate size.

Hi ThemeNectar, thanks for you reply! I just tried setting the image size field to large but none of the values I enter seem to have any effect on the gallery (tried both bypass image cropping enabled and disabled, but when disabled it just shows the default regular photography based size. (same happens when trying other sizes and pixel values entered with and without ””). Here’s the gallery for example: https://bit.ly/2pUNcSb

Hey MistahT,

Could you please open a ticket in regards with a temporary admin login so we can take a closer Look into this for you? https://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Thanks in advance
