I get this message from WooCommerce, will there be an update soon? or is there no conflict?

Your theme (Salient) contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files. These files may need updating to ensure they are compatible with the current version of WooCommerce. Suggestions to fix this:

Hey iamyeko, yes there will be an update, we’re just waiting on WPBakery to release their minor release to bundle that in as well.

There is no conflict from the two WooCommerce files which are now out of date, the changes that they received are very minor and will not affect your store.

Cheers

Also, i am trying to import this demo: http://preview.themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266

but none of the pages are importing, i tried a couple times and no pages show up at all (only the ones created by WooCommerce), do you know of something i can do? or has anyone had this problem before?

Hey iamyeko, Do you see the demo importer progress bar complete or does it never pass a certain point 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

For 2 straight days I’ve been trying to make a change to the get_the_password_form() in the functions.php of our child version of salient. Nothing I do overrides the wordpress core file function. The only possible solution is something to do with how Salient deals with this content. Could anyone give me a hint?

I spoke too soon. I have confirmed that it is salient. I found the problem first because our site is not english and the translation wasn’t showing on only this page. It works in the storefront theme.

Not only translation, but any change to the the_password_form function will not show if using Salient.

Please take a look and confirm this. Changing the language alone will show the problem.

Replacing the function completely as in your example, does work. But it also removed the password functionality!

Hey rednosemonkey,

The snippet I provided was only meant as a test to show that the filter can be overridden via a child – it should replace the entire form contents with the text “testing”. Salient filters the password form and keeps the text string in its own .pot file for translation.

You can actually safely remove the Salient filter “nectar_custom_password_form” to allow the default WP form to show in salient/nectar/helpers/page.php file. As of v10.5 it’s not really needed anymore and will liekly be removed in the next feature-based release.

good to know the salient filter can be removed!

I keep having to go into recovery mode now, it’s been happening all day, is there an issue with the salient core plugin, i’ve even reinstalled a new copy of the salient and child themes, and that’s not fixing it either.

ok i found it, i’m going to re-download the theme and try again Thanks

ok so yeah even with a brand new install still missing the post-grid.php file, so how do i fix this, my site’s been down for 2 days now…ugh

That’s pretty strange, the post grid has been available for months is indeed included in the plugin by default – can you please reach out via email with a temporary FTP user so I can see what’s going on? 

Hello, how do I translate the “load more” present in the “post grid” using Loco Translate?

Hey nacaodesign, that string is kept within the “salient-core” plugin. In the Loco Translate > Plugins > Salient Core, you can add a new language based off the salient-core.pot

Thanks for the help, unfortunately this term is not found in the file. The “view” I found and translated without problems. I also tried Poedit and couldn’t find “Load More”, even downloading a new version of the theme. Searching here in the comments I found other users with the same problem, what do I need to do to fix this?  

Hey nacaodesign, thanks for clarifying – it turns out the Load More never ended up making it into the .pot. I just added it in and can provide you an early copy before the next release if you reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Where can I change the svg files for the shape divider? I would like to customize the shape divider. Thank you

Hey lindsayclineco,

You can find the template file at wp-content/plugins/salient-core/includes/vc_templates/vc_row.php

Cheers

On mobile menu we can’t get the child items to open on click, the setting is set to open when parent link is selected but it just takes you straight to the page rather than open the sub menu, sometimes under inspect element it opens but when on actual mobile it never opens is there a setting we are missing? https://biomolecularsystems.com

Hey john6891, There is no additional setting required other than the one in the Salient options > header navigation > off-canvas menu tab, which you seemingly already have set. I can also see that behavior occurring when using a phone on your URL, but can not replicate it locally. Can you see it occurring on the live demo here? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/

Have you modified the theme files at all and have you tested for any third party plugin conflict by temporarily disabling any you may have active?

Thanks in advance

Hi, I uploaded the 11.0 version and for some reason the new demos were not included. Can you please help? I need the Business 3 demo asap

Hey despinaexad, if you’re using v11 of Salient, please ensure you’ve also updated your version of the “Salient Demo Importer” plugin (v1.1) to the latest release in order to get access to the current set of demos.

Is there a way to alter the text size of the sub items on the mobile menu off canvas so that it is a different size from the main mobile menu text.

Also the spacing between the sub menu items on the mobile menu are not very clear is there a way to add spacing between the items rather than just a general line height?

Thanks.

Hey MarcGarner, In the options panel > header navigation > off-canvas menu tab, change the style to “Slide out from right hover triggered”. It will provide the changes you’re looking for.

Cheers

Is it possible to align the menu to the bottom of the off canvas area instead of the top – http://79.170.40.173/ukchallange.co.uk/

Hey MarcGarner,

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


#slide-out-widget-area .inner >div:first-of-type {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
}

Is it possible to use a background image for a shape divider instead of a solid colour? I am using a repeated texture image for the row and need the shape divider to have the same background.

Could I use something like background-image: url(””)

Hey MarcGarner,

The shape dividers are SVG elements, so filling them with an image would require some template modifications rather than CSS alone.

Hi, Thank you for the great template. One question. How can i change the link hover color in the TABS -menu. Now it is black and it does not work well on dark background. Is it possible to change it to orange?

Example page: https://www.onbike.fi/pyorailymatka-costadelaluz/

Thank you!

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


body .tabbed[data-style*="material"] .wpb_tabs_nav li a:not(.active-tab):hover,
body .tabbed[data-style*="material"][data-color-scheme] .wpb_tabs_nav li a:not(.active-tab):hover {
     color: #f90;
}

Thanks, worked perfect. I removed the * marks after style because the panel notified that it makes it slow :) One more question. Is it possible ad navigation arrows to Owl Carousel instead of the below “bullet” navigation?

Glad I could help Teemuki :)

There is no option for the Owl carousel script to use arrows, however, there is with the “flickity” carousel script option.

Cheers

Hello, i have question about the filter function product type called by the visual composer: now i can filter for “featured” or “all” ... how can place a filter like “all except featured” ? Thanks for your reply.

Hey fordauthos, as of now, a custom query like that would require modifying the template file located at wp-content/plugins/salient-core/includes/vc_templates/nectar_woo_products.php

Cheers

Thanks, any possibility to have in future this filter in the theme? i think will be good feature. thanks for your reply.

Hey fordauthos, I’ve noted the idea on the to-do list :)

Hi guys, first of all thanks for hearing me and for adding the new Post Grid Elements it is exactly what i wanted. I was wondering when using the 2 columns layout with Masonry Mode activated, if it is possible to have the same height between 2 columns items and 1 columns items, with same font size, like this : http://www.michaelrigley.com/ Thanks for your time ! Cheers E

Thanks a lot for your answer. It works perfectly. Again congratulations on the update you bring with 10.5 and 11, i can now do 99% of what i want with salient. You offer stellar flexibility with neat design. So a big thank you for all the hard work and the great support. You have just created the best wp theme on theme forest.

In the 1% remaining of what could be enhanced. i would say :

- direct integration of Adobe Fonts where you just enter your ID and you can see your fonts directly in Typography panel, with all style accessible. ( i still need to edit the redux files manually to do that ).

- In the new Post Grid object it would be nice to add some smoother polish. like the Project Style option of the portfolio grid (Meta on Over / Meta Overlaid … ). Also bring the elegant filter animation of the portfolio grid where item move dynamically would be cool.

- For the portfolio grid when the filter is activated, the elegant fade in effect for each items doesn’t work. it would be sweet to have the elegant fade in even if filter is ON.

- With the portfolio grid when bypass image croping is on, it would be nice to have an extra option to force column alignment at the bottom , and apply a parallax effect to make this work like this : http://www.spab-rice.com/themeselector/?theme=dani-html

- When using nectar slider in classic mode having a new Slider Next/Prev Button Styling, that only display simple minimalist arrow on left and right , and that use a smooth fade transition between sliders would be great.

These are the only things that i can think of that could be enhanced. except those minor points you are just very close to the perfect template.

Cheers and thanks again for your work ! E

this solve the nectar slider issue , so forget last request : /* NECTAR SLIDER ARROW -----------------------*/ .swiper-container .slider-prev .slide-count, .swiper-container .slider-next .slide-count { display: none!important; } .swiper-container .slider-prev, .swiper-container .slider-next,.swiper-container .slider-prev:hover, .swiper-container .slider-next:hover { background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0); } .swiper-container .slider-prev, .swiper-container .slider-next { opacity: 0.6 !important; color: #ffffff !important; } .swiper-container .slider-prev:hover, .swiper-container .slider-next:hover { opacity: 1 !important; color: #ffffff !important; }

I’m glad I could help fantome_in, thanks a lot for the kind words and for the suggestions/feedback – they’ve been noted :)

How do I get the call to action button to open in new window

Hey gustav939, When editing the “Call to action” element in the page builder, there’s an option for that under the field “Link Type”. If you’re referring to the theme options based CTA, there’s currently no option for that. You would need to copy the salient/includes/partials/footer/call-to-action.php file into your child theme and add that on the anchor.

Cheers

hi, http://abraconsulting.it/ the testimonial slider on mobile dosent show aligned to the center

Hey dimage,

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


.col.span_12.testimonial_slider.disable-height-animation {
    margin: 0;
}

Hi! Post grid: Would be possible to add the post title only in the hover? Or any possibility for a grid builder for fully manual settings (for pictures, fonts, links management)? This would be so great! Still so in love with the template, thanks!

Hey bc-cog! The post grid element was just added to Salient in v11 – it will be receiving continued development as time goes on :)

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


.nectar-post-grid .nectar-post-grid-item .content .item-main {
  opacity: 0;
  transition: opacity 0.3s ease;
}

.nectar-post-grid .nectar-post-grid-item:hover .content .item-main {
  opacity: 1;
}

Cheers

We have previously added an image in the header, on the right side of the menu. We have the CSS and were told, to add the HTML to the header.php. However, the recent update has changed the file a great deal. Where should we add the code now?

Hey fabritiusth, where did you add the image to the header? The header is not split up into separate partial files for easier modification/maintenance. The segments exist in salient/includes/partials/header

We added it as HTML in the header.php file, and then styled with CSS. But the header.php is very different after the recent update. If we want an image to the right of the menu, how do we do that?

Hey fabritiusth, You can add it to the ned of the salient/includes/partials/header/header-menu.php file at the bottom, right before the closing header tag

I sent an email still no reply, please check.

Hey astutestudio, For some reason the email address provided in the contact form is not showing as valid from my end. Here’s the response I had written:

That would require the use of custom CSS. add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:

#top nav > ul > li:nth-child(3) > a:before {
    content: 'New';
    display: block;
    position: absolute;
    top: -20px;
    right: -19px;
    background-color: #ff5433;
    color: #fff;
    display: block;
    padding: 3px 10px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    font-size: 12px;
    line-height: 12px;
}

Hi, thanks for your reply it’s working but with weird error will check and get back to you, however can you tell me how to remove circle with left right arrows coming on hover with drag hand i slider image carousel?

Hey astutestudio, can you kindly share your actual URL so I can see which slider you’re referring to?

Hi, I’m looking at purchasing your theme, I’ve noticed some companies allow purchased themes to only be used/registered on one site, others allow them to be used across multiple sites (under the same owner obviously). Could you advise how you guys work with Salient please?

Many thanks

Hey ReadySteadyGeek, Salient doesn’t require you to register the theme to a specific domain – a single license purchase is still required to legally use it on every domain though.

Cheers

Hi, I’m developing a site with your theme, and i came across strange problem. Here is the url: https://www.clinres.si/

The problem: When you open it on mobile view, the slider on the homepage that is under “Storitve” on the 4-th slide you can see that when it’s two line text (“Zagotavljanje kakovosti”) it’s going under white. How can i solve this? I tried putting z-index on the h5 tag but no luck.

Thanks in advance.

Hey tomislavbalabanov,

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


body .nectar-flickity.nectar-carousel[data-format="default"] .flickity-slider .cell {
    padding: 0px 10px;
}

Cheers
