Can I somehow enable notifications for Salient plugin updates (wp-admin/themes.php?page=tgmpa-install-plugins)?

I see that notification for theme updates (/wp-admin/themes.php) and plugin updates (/wp-admin/plugins.php), but not for theme plugin updates sometimes listed here (wp-admin/themes.php?page=tgmpa-install-plugins)

Following-up.

Hey loneprairiecamp,

the theme plugin updates should also be showing as soon as you’ve updated Salient itself. Please reach out via the contact form on my author page with a temporary login so I can take a look at why it’s not showing in your setup: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Possible a faster ken burn effect on row bg image?

Hey AlbertoSacchetti, can you please share your URL where you’re using that effect so I can take a look at the setup to assist?

Thanks in advance

well guys, KB seems ok now, I don’t know what happened the day I wrote, sorry for that. Is anyway possible to have a different point of movement in a slide using some snippet of code?

Hey AlbertoSacchetti,

Glad to hear you sorted it. In regards to altering the movement – could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can provide an example based on your setup?

Cheers

I am trying to add an SVG image to my page. If I use a Text Block, it does not work. It only works if I use a Raw HTML element. The issue with this is that there are no scroll bars to navigate my long SVG code in this element. This must be a bug? Is there any other way to get an SVG image onto my page without the Raw HTML element?

Hey mrittman, did you add the img via the “text” tab as opposed to the “visual” tab within the text block element? If so, please share a test URL so I can take a look at what is occurring on the front

Thanks

Yes, I tried adding the image via the “text” tab of the text block element, which did not work. If you look on this page: http://www.mattrittman.com/new-media-header/, the SVG image on the top is working fine with the Raw HTML element. However, I did the same thing on the very bottom of the page, using a text block, and it just shows a large white space.

Thanks for sharing your URL mrittman. I’ve replicated the same locally when copying the SVG code, however Salient itself does not process the content of the text block element. I also replicated this when testing with a different theme and the core WPBakery Page builder plugin. I would suspect that the code is too complex and would require the raw HTML element in order to bypass the default WP Editor processing. I’ve noted to enable a scrollbar for the content overflow within that element for the next release.

Hi, in the footer, how can I insert text or images right above the bottom bar and below the footer, like where this arrow is: https://adobe.ly/2JCI8bY

Hey djb19, you can copy the salient/includes/partials/footer/copyright-bar.php file into a child theme and add the desired image/modification there.

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar ! When i use visual composer portfolio function for display portfolio categorie, i would like to rule out a portfolio tag. I use Portfolio Post Type plugin to add tag on project.

Any idea to do this ? Thanks a lot

Hey Pepiteatelier,

Unfortunately there’s currently no way to exclude items by the tag. Only categories can be used to show/hide projects. This would take some custom modding to the “nectar_portfolio_processing” function

which can be found in wp-content/plugins/salient-portfolio/includes/frontend/shortcode.php

is it possible to put an image in the middle of a nectar slide? (hero homepage) the result I try to get is like this :https://www.emblemprague.com/homepage

Hey AlbertoSacchetti, yes you can use a raw HTML image tag in the slider caption field:

<img src="your-img-src.png" /> 

Hi there, I’ve made a staging site on this url : https://wfit.kleidi.nl/ and after updating Salient en plugins you can see the header has changed. It should appear like this website: https://eventsoftwarebenelux.com/ . How to get it like this again after updating?

Hey Abbenhues, some of the markup in your header does not reflect the current version of Salient. You likely have a modified header.php file in your child theme that needs to be updated to match the current structure.

Cheers

Hi there, On this page: https://eventsoftwarebenelux.com/home-test/ I’ve placed a video of what happens on this website when making it full screen mode. As you can see the blue header with diagonal stripe is going over my content in full-width mode (on bigger screens). Any idea how to fix?

Hey Abbenhues,

I thought you were making use of the Salient “shape divider” feature, but can see now that you’re accomplishing the effect with a background image from CSS. It looks like if you simply remove the snippet which is setting the larger version of the BG above a certain screen width the issue should go away i.e..

@media only screen and (min-width: 1920px) {
#ajax-content-wrap {
    background: url(https://eventsoftwarebenelux.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/esb-bg-top-retina.png);
}
}

Cheers

Hi there,

Exactly! Well the issue is going away but when removing the snippet this one: @media only screen and (min-width: 1920px) { #ajax-content-wrap { background: url(‘https://eventsoftwarebenelux.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/esb-bg-top-retina.png'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-color: #ffffff; } }

When viewing the site on bigger screens f.e. above 2000px width the background image is too high and because of that my title (which is in white) will show in the white section underneath the background image. As it is white on white the title is not showing. I also have this snippet:

@media screen and (min-width: 1999px) { #ajax-content-wrap { padding-top: 240px !important; }}

Should I change the padding-top?

Thanks already!

Hey Abbenhues,

Yes, reducing the padding top in that snippet would allow your text to stay within the BG images

Hi, is it possible to disable dragging on Leaflet maps on touch devices?

Many thanks, Danny

Hey Danny,

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;
}
}

Thanks for that.

You’re welcome adayin :)

Hey! I was looking for the answer here here but couldn’t find it. I have trouble with two simplest things:

1. When I write an article in the blog section of my website, I can’t seem to make equal spaces before and after the heading. (The order of the usual text is a short paragraph, heading 2, short paragraph and again heading 2 and another paragraph). When I look at the text in the editor everything seems fine, but after I go to “preview post” the space before the heading turns out to be much bigger than the space after the heading and before the next paragraph. Is there a solution to that?

2. Also, when I change the fonts in the Salient ‘typography’ settings, they don’t get changed neither in the editor, nor in the preview of the post I’m writing. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

Hey,

You’re using a plugin (Use Any Font) that is adding a custom font selection dropdown into your editor, which is then setting a lot of custom CSS on many of your heading and paragraph tags in that post. Because of this, the Salient font selections are completely overridden. You can see this occurring in the page source code: https://ibb.co/bJyJg5D

Please try to disable that plugin so that the Salient theme styles can take effect.

Thank you! I would never have found it myself! Is there a way to add additional fonts to the original Salient setup? I would need Lato- light and Helvetica family (neue, light). Thank you very much for your help. You are one awesome team:))

Hey Karolya, Glad I could help.

The Lato font family (including the light weight) should already be available in the Salient options. You can still make use of that plugin for the purposes of adding custom fonts into the Salient options, however if you simply do not use the custom font dropdown when editing your posts, no additional CSS will be added and the Salient fonts will show.

There’s also an option within the Use Any Font plugin settings to remove that dropdown from the post editor – it’s titled, “Disable Font list in WordPress editor.”. This will help with any future posts you write. Existing posts which made use of that custom font selection will need to be edited to remove the selections still.

1 thing is really bugging me, hope there is an easy solution…

Mobile menu – simple dropdown being used. the dropdown menu is only activated when you click the arrow. I want the whole row to be clickable (so the text as well as the arrow). Any ideas?

Hey mjlcreatives,

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


#header-outer #mobile-menu a > .sf-sub-indicator {
   width: 100%;
}
#header-outer #mobile-menu a > .sf-sub-indicator i {
  position: absolute;
   right: 0;
}

works great, thank you

Glad I could help mjlcreatives :)

I am trying to import the ecommerce ultimate but once it’s finished there is no menu nor a top slider.

Nevermind I got it. The menu wasn’t set nor was the home page.

Hey JMoscatiello,

I’m glad to hear you were able to sort it.

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar,

I was wondering if it is possible to make the menu bar less wide? Around the 60 pixels on the right.

Hope to here from you and have a nice day! Cheers

Hey PascalvanM,

That string is kept in the salient-core text domain. The location of the .pot file is at wp-content/plugins/salient-core/languages

Cheers

Do i need a plugin to change tekst files?

A long time ago i used a plugin called ‘Say What?’ Do i still need this plugin for this?

Hey PascalvanM, yes you can still use that plugin for altering the theme strings.

Hi, How can I achieve this footer look you have here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate-3/

Right now, I’ve selected the 4 Footer Columns layout, but I want to put that line and text above the columns as full width. Here is my page currently: http://tiny.cc/hlkffz

thanks.

Hey djb19, the text in the call to action row “Enough Talk, Let’s Build Something Together” is actually a normal row within the page builder. It appears to connect directly to the footer since it’s the same color, but it not configured through the Salient footer options. The line can be achieved by using a “divider” page builder element within the row.

That’s what I figured, but does that mean I have to manually add this to every page? Because the footer automatically appears on every page.

Hey djb19, in order to have it automatically appear, a modification to the footer.php file would be needed. Or you could use the WPBakery addon “templatera”. to easily manage it from one location.

Hi, The Fullwidht Next & Prev Links on my site is gettin a margin on the left that i cant remove http://prntscr.com/pq61mo I have already desable all the plugin to test that but the error persist Link of the post: https://artuniadvogados.com.br/quem-e-vencido-numa-acao-trabalhista-tem-que-pagar-a-outra-parte/

Hey rolldigo, it looks like that issue might be caused by the Google Tag Manager script you have inserted in the head. Can you please try temporarily disabling that plugin to verify?

i have moved it to the footer of the site, it looks like that it solve the problem, thanks

Glad to hear rolldigo :)

Hey Themenectar, can I include into the search results the content of the DataTables plugin?

I’m still in love with your theme! Thanks for your constant beautiful updates.

Hey pixelfee2012,

Please open a ticket on our support forum in regards with temporary admin credentials so I can take a closer look into this: https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Kindly let me know the ticket ID here once you’ve done so

Thanks a lot! Our support has expired. I’ll ask my boss to renew it or I’ll build the portfolio sites as normal sites.

Sounds good pixelfee2012 :)

Hi, Why are the new demo’s not available for import??! I bought this to use one of these. Please help.

Yes, im sure i’ got 1.1 as well. I’ve send the email with the logins.

Wow, thanks for the super fast reply!! Everything OK now :)

Glad to hear Bobvangendt :)

Hi there – I have disabled google fonts and selected load from theme, but there are still google font cookies being set on the website. Where is the file where I can just remove any link to google fonts. Thanks

Hey shereewalker,

Please share your URL in regards so I can take a further look at the settings

Thanks in advance

Hi! I am using a video background (youtube link and not an mp4 or WebM file being hosted) on my homepage and when it loops there is a black screen gap that pops in for a second before it restarts. Is there a way to get around this? https://thefictionstoryroom.com is my website and the video is playing in the main hero after the fourth video clip plays

Hey JayCarver, Unfortunately, the Youtube video BG option is a core option in the WPBakery page builder plugin and not something we added in. The plugin developer seems to be aware of it, but as of now there is not solution other then to use the Salient specific (self hosted) video option: https://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-page-builder-for-wordpress/242431/comments?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=youtube+black&from_buyers_and_authors_only=0

Hi, I just want to report some issues I’m having with the newest versions:

1 – The Post Grid Element is not displaying post excerpts. 2 – The “Load More” button is not translatable, not such string in salient-core.po file.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks : )

Hey DigitalOrrb,

Since I can’t replicate those issues locally, Could you please reach out via the contact form on my author page with a temporary login so I can take a look? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks in advance

Even after the latest theme update I still can not translate via .po file the “Load more…” pagination button in the new Post Grid element…

My (bad) solution was to directly edit the init.js file..

Hey DigitalOrrb, Can you please reach out via the contact form on my author page so I can take a look at the translation from the backend to assist?
