Can I somehow enable notifications for Salient plugin updates (wp-admin/themes.php?page=tgmpa-install-plugins)?
Hey loneprairiecamp, the Salient plugin updates will only show after you’ve updated to a version of the theme that includes them. Are you trying to receive plugin notifications independent of updating of Salient?
I already receive theme and plugin update notifications via the WordPress interface (count near the upper right), but after updating the Salient Theme, I often forget to also check Appearance -> Install Plugins. I would appreciate some sort of notification when there are updates available there.
Hey loneprairiecamp, thanks for clarifying. There should be a notification at the top of your wp-admin whenever you’re using an outdated version of a plugin: https://ibb.co/VBqxwwn Are you not seeing that on your end?
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.
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 can’t replicate that behavior on my end when testing in IE Edge or by using browserstack.com – what version of Edge are you using and have you been able to see it occur on more than one machine?
Hi there, I’ve placed a new video where you can see that the screen changes after scaling the screen size to 100%. Also the browser that was used is Firefox 70.0.1.
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 Karolya, Could you kindly share your actual URL in regards so I can take a look? Thanks in advance
hey, this is an example: https://www.karolinafotyga.com/how-to-read-more-books/ but this post was published after I had worked on it for at least an hour and a half trying to edit all the spaces, so they look ok. But I don’t want ok, I want to be sure that I can control the thing as simple as spaces between verses. Sometimes something clicks and the space seems ok, but most of the times you just never know:(
Hey Karolya,
Could you please open a ticket on our support forum in regards with temporary admin credentials and an example post URL so we can take a closer look? https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Thanks in advance
Hey. I don’t already have the paid plan unfortunately. But I already asked this question there and it wasn’t fixed:( This is the ticket: https://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/1754953/ The password is the same as mentioned, but the email has changed to: karolina.fotyga@gmail.com and I moved the site to: www.karolinafotyga.com
Thanks Karolya,
I just logged in and took a look. I added a snippet into the custom css box within the Salient options panel to alter the margin on heading tags within posts to be the same as paragraph tags: https://www.karolinafotyga.com/?p=7038&preview=true
In regards to the typography settings not taking effect – the h2 font settings seem to match what you have specified in the Salient options typography, i.e. lato light, 700 weight, 20px font. Can you elaborate further on what is not responding to the settings?
I checked again, and nothing changed:( Each time I write – and it doesn’t matter if I write in the WP text editor or if I pasted the text written somewhere else – it looks like in the example post – “testing” – it’s there if you log in again:
1. the size of the heading is much smaller compared to what I see in the editor, 2. the spaces between the paragraph and the heading and between the heading and the next paragraph are tiny, and I cant make another line of space by simply pressing enter. 3. the editor is using the font “Georgia” size 12 instead of Lato-light – size 14 which I set up in the Salient settings.
Should it be that the editor is not WYSIWYG?
I will be very grateful for your help, because I must say this is driving me crazy:(( each time I write a post I feel frustrated because the editor does not work like it’s supposed to.
Thank you!
Karolina
Hey Karolya, Please see the following screenshot of a comparison from your wp editor vs the frontend: https://ibb.co/FDwnD4r
I’m seeing that all the spaces between paragraphs are equal and that the new lines are showing the same.
In regards to your third point, the wp admin editor does not inherit any of the theme-specific frontend styling. Salient gives you control over each heading tag (h1-h6) as well as the body text through the Salient options panel > typography tab. If you for some reason do not wish your blog posts to inherit those settings and instead want the font settings shown in the backend editor, you could accomplish that by adding the following CSS into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body h2 {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Bitstream Charter", Times, serif!important
font-size: 26px;
}
Hey! Thank you for your reply – I really appreciate it. Firstly – the spaces between paragraphs are the same – yes, and it never was a problem. I want the spaces between the paragraph and the heading and then between the heading and the next paragraph to be BIGGER. So that the heading is visually separated from the paragraphs that are above and below it. I’d hope to do it simply using enter, but it doesn’t work at all. It works in the editor, but in the preview the lines are just like in your picture, and those I sent you before. The size of the font is also – as attached in your picture – SMALL – it’s not at all size 20 as indicated in the salient settings. It feels as if the text in the preview is not reacting at all to neither the settings from the Salient typography nor the settings of the editor. So I guess – yes – I could go ahead and use the backend editor settings with your code – but the one you sent is not working. See the pic here with the message I get -https://www.karolinafotyga.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/here.png
Hey!
1. I just did a test within the post again to verify that using the enter button to create spaces is working as expected: https://ibb.co/FHdPzq6 are you not able to see the spaces on your end when viewing the post?
2. I also inspected the live code and verified that 20px was the current font size set for the heading tag, as it is specified in the Salient options. For a test, I just changed the font size to 30px in the options, and that is now reflected within the post as well: https://www.karolinafotyga.com/?p=7038&preview=true
Hey. When you log in to my account you’ll see the draft of post that is not yet published – “Inbox zero” – please don’t publish it;) In it you’ll see exactly what I mean. All the headings are “heading 2”. I changed it in the typography of Salient panel to “helvetica-neue” size 40, bold. The change is not seen in the preview. All the headings look small, and there are no spaces between them and the paragraphs – spaces that are there in the editor. I use the chrome extension that says what font is used on websites, and it clearly recognizes the font from preview as lato light size 19, style normal, which doesn’t make sense at all:((
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.
https://webdesign-ruimdenkers.nl/swda/Hope to here from you and have a nice day! Cheers
Hey PascalvanM,
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: 1001px) {
#header-outer[data-format="left-header"] {
width: 200px;
}
body[data-header-format="left-header"] #ajax-content-wrap {
margin-left: 200px;
}
}
Cheers
Ah great! Many thanks.
Other question. Where can is change / translate the text of the blog/ portfolio buttons?
https://webdesign-ruimdenkers.nl/swda/Now it says ‘Read Article’ But I want to translate it.
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.
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, I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the updates 
Modifying what data shows in the search would require editing the salient/search.php file. You can also look into a search extender plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/relevanssi/
Cheers
I already tried that plugin. It doesn’t even find contents of a h3 header. I just realized that the problem only applies for portfolio pages. With or without the plugin.
Hey pixelfee2012, did you enable the “portfolio” post type within the relevanssi > indexing settings and set the “Custom fields” to “all”? After doing that and building the index, the content from the extra content editor within the Portfolio should show
Hi, thanks for the quick reply! Sure, I did that. I didn’t set the custom fields to ‘all’ but sadly it didn’t change anything…
Hey pixelfee2012,
Are you unable to see search results for any content within the portfolio items after setting up that Plugin or just the content from DataTables?
Exactly. All the portfolio content won’t be found.
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.
Hey Bobvangendt,
In order to get access to the latest demos, you need to be using the current Salient Demo Importer plugin, which is version. Have you updated to that since updating to v11 of Salient?
Cheers
Hi, yes I’ve got the latest version (11.0.1). But i still don’t see the 3 latest demo’s as shown on the site. I’m want to use this one especially : http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-freelance-portfolio/
If you’re sure that you’ve also updated your version of the Salient demo importer plugin to version 1.1, please reach out via the contact form on my author page with a temporary admin account so I can take a look https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
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
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?
