I have purchased a license and try to install new theme Corporate 3 & Salient version is 10.5.3. In Demo importer Corporate 3 is unavailable. Please guide me how to import corporate 3 demo content

For reference of error, I found please check the link below. https://positivemoves.com/pmovesnew/error.jpg

I can’t create new page neither edit existing page through back-end editor.

Not working with Salient WPBakery Page Builder Version 6.0.5 & Wordpress 5.1.3. It was working with WPBakery Page Builder Version 5.7. Please provide some solution.

Hey pritamgupta, if you’ve already verified that it’s not related to a third party plugin conflict, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks in advance

​Hello, I’m looking to use a template similar to Salient Business 3 but the demo importer doesn’t offer that demo as an option.

Thank you,

Hey paul0v2, if you’re using v11 of Salient, please ensure you’ve also updated your version of the “Salient Demo Importer” plugin to the latest release in order to get access to the current set of demos.

I’m running version 1.1 how can I update that? I just downloaded the latest file from evato and still 1.1

Hey paul0v2, 1.1 is the current version of the demo importer. If you updated Salient from an older version to get access to that, it’s possible that the old demo importer folder still exists in your theme, as it used to live at wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/redux-framework/extensions/wbc_importer before it was separated into a plugin. https://ibb.co/dkm5PsN Can you verify that the directory is not in your theme? If it so, deleting it will allow the Salient Demo Importer plugin to load as expected with the current demo set.

I was wondering if there was a way to extend the ‘Recent Post’ element to the Portfolio post type? I know there is a ‘Recent Projects’ element but it doesn’t have the style (layout) options that the ‘Recent Post’ element has. Would be nice to display portfolio posts in the same way as regular posts. Thanks!

Hey TJnTN,

Doing that should require modding the file wp-content/plugins/salient-core/includes/vc_templates/recent_posts.php as of now. In the next update we’re adding the functionality to override the WPBakery template files via a child theme as well.

Excellent! Thanks for the response. So I’ll still need to modify the file but eventually I’ll be able to do that in my child theme? There’s no plan to add the option to select the Portfolio post type to the Recent Post element you’re saying?

Hey TJnTN,

That’s correct – if you’d like access to the beta release now which adds the ability to store modified WPBakery template files in a child, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

As of now there is no plan to add the portfolio post type into the recent posts as a selection. We did, however, release a new element called “Post grid”, which is a shared post type element that will be getting more styling options in future release :)

Cheers

Fantastic work :) i wish you huge and successful sales for the week.

Thanks a lot HedyGraphics :)

Hi all,

been a happy user of using your theme for a while now. Just one check. Is it possible to create something like the top of this page: https://canyoumakeit.redbull.com/nl-nl

Vertical video in the center (and two blurred columns) on desktop. On mobile just the vertical video.

Just wondering if something like that is possible.

Best, David

Hey David!

They are accomplishing that through two videos – one for the desktop: https://canyoumakeit.redbull.com/assets/videos/hero_desktop.mp4 and a separate for the mobile (without the blurred sides). In Salient, you would need to use two separate rows to house each version of the video. CSS could then be used to hide/show the rows as needed on each device.

Cheers

Hi Phil, I think I found a bug… not really sure though. It’s regarding the animated minimal arrow CTA. I can’t center this thing, no matter what I do. The other Icons (eg mouse) work when I center them but the arrow ignores the settings every time… Could you please take a look at it?

And I read a few posts back for a dark mode theme. It would be awesome to have a setting where you can set up at what time the site turns dark/white. Maybe even a button for the user to switch :)

Thanks again in advance

Hey TheChuckOne,

1. For now that would require modding to the wp-content/plugins/salient-core/includes/vc_templates/client.php file, however I’ve noted to make it an option.

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

Cheers

Thanks Phil, I sent you a message per Envato :)

Thanks TheChuckOne :)

Hi,

I have some questions regarding my website: http://www.taylorsbarkitchen.co.uk/home

1. With the navigation layout I use, the option to shrink the logo upon scroll is not longer available, is there another way to achieve this with CSS?

2. Is it possible have the ‘Book a table’ on the right hand side?

3. I want the whole site background to remain transparent as I am using a custom background image. However, I’d like to have a solid color on the sticky header as soon as it scrolls. How can I achieve both?

Thanks in advance

Hey jackcweston,

1. That specific navigation style has it’s own unique resizing on scroll option called “Condense Header On Scroll”. If you want the traditional resize on scroll,

you’d need to alter your header layout to use the “centered menu alt” option.’

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


#header-outer[data-format="centered-menu-bottom-bar"] header#top .span_3 nav.left-side {
    left: auto;
    right: 10px;
}

3. You can also use the following CSS:


@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
body #header-outer:not(.scrolled-down) {
  background-color: transparent!important;
}
}

Cheers

Thank you very much, everything worked great :)

Glad I could help jackcweston :)

is there anyway under the footer widgets to have a shortcode (not in the footer widgets)? I’d like to put an email signup shortcode similar to this under the footer section https://imgur.com/a/qe3EHHl

Hey brianfreeman,

There’s a hook in that location you could use called “nectar_hook_after_footer_widget_area”. Alternatively you could copy the file salient/includes/partials/footer/main-widgets.php into your child theme for modifying

Cheers

how do you center the 3 footer column section? it always wants to start on the left and leave space on right https://imgur.com/a/yMCgq6s

Hey brianfreeman,


#footer-outer .col {
text-align: center; 
}

Cheers

how do I make the see through buttons have orange border but white bold text? just some of the buttons. not all of them

thanks again!

Hey brianfreeman,

I’m not seeing the “white-text” class name added onto those buttons, can you please Please open a ticket on our support forum in regards with temporary admin credentials so I can take a closer look why that is? : https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Thanks in advance

fixed it! thanks again!

You’re welcome brianfreeman :)

I need the portfolio sidebar on the top of the page instead of the bottom on mobile. How do I accomplish this?

I found this but it doesn’t seem to work in my CSS code:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1040px) { #post-area {display:table-footer-group !important; float: none !important;} #sidebar {display:table-header-group !important; float: none !important;} }

​Thanks

Hey justinoliver77 , 

The CSS needed for that modification is as follows:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.single-portfolio .main-content > .row {
   display: flex; 
   flex-wrap: wrap; 
   flex-direction: column-reverse;
  }
}

Cheers

That works beautifully, thank you!

Glad I could help justinoliver77 :)

This is a basic question, but will I have issues if I update from v9 to v11? will it save all my page layouts. Most of what I have is built with the visual composer. I see that it changed to wpbakery.

Will I kill my site if I update to Salient 11 and wordpress 5?

Hey joshuabbutler,The main thing you need to be aware of is that Salient now includes a suite of plugins to add various functionality instead of building everything directly in. We have an update guide located here:  http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/important-salient-update-for-new-envato-requirements/  

All of your page content and theme settings will persist when updating.

Ok thanks. I’m just a little nervous about going from visual composer to wpbaker, but we will see.

Hey joshuabbutler, Visual Composer simply renamed itself “WPBakery Page Builder”. It’s the same plugin as before.

hello, seems that the theme has a lot of issues with safari, how can we fixx all thoses issues (background, separator padding/margig etc) ? do you have specifi css to fix all those pb bu default maybe ?

Hey tonnick, there are no known issues relating to Safari with backgrounds and separator paddings/margin – can you please share your URL in regards and also let me know which version of Safari you’re testing on?

Thanks in advance

tell me where are the icons houzz.ru ? https://yadi.sk/i/1Tdo8vNP5NHwjA

Hey Nicko_217,

That appears to be a conflict with elementor – it’ll be fixed in the next release. For now, add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:


i.fa-houzz {
    font-family: fontawesome;
}

Cheers

thank you! have a nice day :)

You as well Nicko_217 :)

Hey!

One last question: is there any way to make entire rows clickable with a redirect link?

For example, https://cantedpictures.com/film/ I have several rows with background images that I would like to make clickable with a custom link. Is this possible?

Thank you very much for all the help :)

Hey cantedpictures!

As of now you can only set a full link on columns. CSS could then be used to make that link take over the entire row though.

Cheers

Hi @ThemeNectar first of all thanks for this awesome theme and I want to know when you guys are planning to add “AMP” and “Dark Mode” For the theme, It will be awesome if you guys can add these two features it will enhance the user experience and make the site more user-friendly, Thanks

Hey ashish1685277 :)

Currently, the AMP support is an item on the wishlist, but there is no ETA at this time. You can already set your header navigation/content BG to be dark globally from the theme options panel. Are you referring to a separate set of default dark styling for all of the elements?

Cheers

yes i’m asking for an widget like option by which user can switch the theme to dark mode and admin can place that open on the site any where like floating widget, or in header, or in widget area, and having the option to shift or move that widget as per need or custom palcement on site

Thanks for the clarification ashish1685277  :)

Do you have HTML and Shopify version ?

Hey danzara, Salient is only available as a WordPress theme currently.

Cheers

is there a way to make this version of fancy box to keep the same white color white mouse over? I want to make the links within those clickable instead of the whole box clickable. http://skipthebus.com/thanks

Hey brianfreeman,

Are you referring to the “Facebook or Instagram” links? If so, I’m already seeing them remain white when hovering over the box content

when you hover the one in the middle turns red. makes it hard to see the links

Hey brianfreeman, You’d need to add a class name on the column which is holding the fancy box such as “no-hover” and then add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:


.no-hover .nectar-fancy-box[data-style="color_box_hover"]:hover .box-bg {
  opacity: 0;
}

.no-hover .nectar-fancy-box[data-style="color_box_hover"] .inner-wrap *,
.no-hover .nectar-fancy-box[data-style="color_box_hover"] .inner-wrap {
  color: #444!important;
}

.no-hover .nectar-fancy-box[data-style="color_box_hover"] .inner-wrap i {
 color: #ff5433!important;
}

.no-hover .nectar-fancy-box[data-style="color_box_hover"] .inner-wrap a {
 color: #0000ff!important;
}

Cheers

Hey there!

I have a recent blog post slider on the homepage, and was just curious how I can change the position of the header text from the middle to the bottom? At the current moment, the H2 title for the blog posts interfere with the images.

Would love to know a workaround to move the H2 salient slider text to the bottom.

Website: https://cantedpictures.com

Thanks in advance!

Hey cantedpictures!

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


.nectar-recent-posts-slider .inner-wrap {
  top: auto;
  bottom: 10%;
} 

Cheers

H1 on blogpost only 14px.

Hello. Is there a reason you made the H1 on a blogpost 14px?

It gets this from body #page-header-bg h1, html body .row .col.section-title h1, .nectar-box-roll .overlaid-content

Why not make this bigger?

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


body #ajax-content-wrap .related.products h2 {
 font-size: 14px;
 line-height: 20px;
}

Thank you. Just for future reference I was required to add !important for this to work. With that adjustment it works great, thank you.

Glad to hear dzineee :)
