Hey godsky, Have you tried to use the “Fullwidth” layout option in your portfolio element in combination with the “Constrain Max Columns to 4” option? That should keep the column number at 4 on every desktop screen size. Could you kindly share your page URL so I can also take a look at the setup?

Cheers

Problem after updating the template Currently https://i.imgur.com/apRe1aa.png -- Previously https://i.imgur.com/14JGxtH.png

Hey zo0di, that’s a core issue with the WPBakery page builder plugin – the fix for it should be included in their next release of the plugin, which is due out shortly.

Hi,

A page seems to be having a conflict with Yoast SEO so the meta description only shows block code. All others seem to work ok, but this uses more block elements.

When I remove all html from the page the description works.

Have any bugs been reported?

Thanks

Thanks andtay2001,

Strangely enough, when I save that locally I can’t replicate any JS errors. Would you be able to reach out via the contact form on my author page with a temporary admin login so I can inspect your backend closer? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Just sent. The site does use W3 Total Cache, but even with minify options turned off, this page still has metadata issues.

Thanks andtay2001

Hi there, On this page: https://nieuw.kleidi.nl/websites-webshops/ my font-weight of my list-items is lighter compared to my body font. I would like it to be the same. How to fix this?

Hey Abbenhues,

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


body .nectar-icon-list-item .content {
    color: inherit;
}

Hello,

For the Author / or user using search in comments looking for answers.

If you notice Linea icons (animated icons) not animating or some of it animating and the rest freezing. Try to turn off Autoptimize.

If anyone has a fix. I’ll take it.

Thanks.

After playing around, seems like it happens only when caching HTML; Caching css or JS doesnt aftect the icons…

Hey mrtouz, I haven’t been able to replicate the same when testing on my end with autoptimize. Could you kindly share your URL in regards?

Cheers

Salient 11.01. have following error.

Your theme (Salient) contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files.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:

Update your theme to the latest version. If no update is available contact your theme author asking about compatibility with the current WooCommerce version. If you copied over a template file to change something, then you will need to copy the new version of the template and apply your changes again.

Hey proearthanimal, we’ll be releasing an update shortly to remove that warning. The template file changes should not cause any issues on the front-end of your store in the meantime. If you’re experiencing any problems, please share your URL in regards.

Cheers  

Hello there,

Is the Slider Revolution included in the theme?

Best.

Hey inspiromedia, Slider revolution is not bundled with Salient, though it is compatible if you already own a license.

Cheers

Hello,

I have a WordPress installation running Salient 8.0.16. This is from another developer who was using it to create a website for his client, but it didn’t work out and the development of the site went to me.

I have the site files, but no license and no ability to upgrade. There is an Issue I am facing. I am using the centered logo header layout, but in the RTL version of the website (translated via WPML), the menu items are not arranging themselves properly (menu-item-with-margin is being applied to the wrong menu item).

Could you please assist? I cannot post a ticket about this issue as I don’t have a purchase code.

Thanks.

Hey ryermolayev, a license is required in order to access the support forum. Could you share your URL in the meantime so I can take a look?

Cheers

Will send it to your email from your envato profile.

Thanks.

Thanks ryermolayev

lazy loading function does not load pictures in RSS

Hey Nicko_217, I just added the fix for that into the current beta. If you’d like early access, feel free to reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

I would have waited for the release. I hope it will be soon

Sounds good Nicko_217 :)

hi,

The code is getting very heavy with each update and requires a lot of CPU/GPU and the Time to First Bite is always high with salient.

Would you please work a bit more on performance?

Can a few styles and JS be combined? (not with speed plugins, but from your side)

And maybe cut down the HTML by removing and cleaning up divs and other codes?

Also, would it be possible to completely remove the code for items that are not being used? I know the latest update is firing only the scripts that are needed, but that is still heavy on the pages and Google Page Speed shows a very high number for “Remove unused CSS” and SEO tools like Moz and Raven Tools show a heavy code ratio. Maybe instead you can put an option that will completely remove these codes instead of disabling.

For example: if I am not using the home slider, or salient slider, or even the portfolio plugin. all the js/css codes used by these plugins will be deleted instead of staying there on the code and not being used.

One more idea. If I am using one skin, for example, the original, can you put an option that removes the other 2 skin’s CSS? This would call only one single CSS file with the original skin settings and remove the others. However, it would be preferable to switch between the skins at any time without any issue.

Hope this makes sense. :)

We prefer performance updates over new features any time any day!!! :)

Hey toolbox101,

version 10.5 of Salient reduced the CSS/JS by 30+% as well as refactored the JS to be higher performing. We can not automatically ship the CSS/JS combined as that would remove the possibility of users easily editing the core files. Caching/Minification plugins, which should be used regardless on a live setup can handle this – what issues are you running into when using a plugin?

When a script/stylesheet is not enqueued, it’s not making its way to the front end of the browser – the reports you’re referring to are not including styles from the Home Slider/Nectar Slider or Portfolio if you do indeed have those plugins disabled. Similarly, the theme skins are separated in different stylesheets and never loaded at the same time. Could you kindly share your URL in regards?

 Happy thanksgiving!

Hi! After I updated WP to 5.3 and Salient to 10.5, columns wrap and do not fit in container. Have I missed something obvious?

Br.

Hey bouveng, it looks as though the main Salient stylesheet (salient/css/style.css) is not loading in your setup, and thus causing all the issues you’ve mentioned. Could you please try changing to the parent theme for a momen to verify that there is not a conflict with the code in your child theme?

Hi! Thanks! Indeed the salient/css/style.css was not loading.

I located this issue to the following snippet in my child themes functions.php, and issues disappear when I commented them out.

I can’t remember if the snippet is old legacy, or if I have put them there myself 2 years ago. It seems I do not need them anymore.

function salient_child_enqueue_styles() { wp_dequeue_style('main-styles'); wp_deregister_style( 'main-styles' ); // enqueue parent styles wp_enqueue_style('parent-theme', get_template_directory_uri() .'/style.css', array('font-awesome'), null); // enqueue child styles wp_enqueue_style('child-theme', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/style.css', array('parent-theme'), time()); if ( is_rtl() ){ wp_enqueue_style( 'salient-rtl', get_template_directory_uri(). '/rtl.css', array(), '1', 'screen' ); } }

Hey bouveng, I’m glad to hear that sorted it for you. The code in that snippet is indeed outdated and would cause the conflict.

Cheers

I can’t get cart to reflect items added to cart. I have latest salient version and latest version of Wordpress. baylessconley.tv

This was a host caching issue. disregard. Thanks!

Hey jdredman, Glad to hear you sorted it :)

Hi, I’m using the ‘bio shown fullscreen modal’ option for Team members, however, the client doesn’t want the ‘roaming cross’ that follows the mouse around to close it – is there a way to have a static cross in the top corner?

Cheers

Hey simonpeyto,

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


body .nectar-close-indicator {
    left: 40px;
    top: 100px;
    transform: none!important;
}

Cheers

Hi guys, Could you help me please to show the team_member_image on mobile ?

.nectar_team_member_overlay .team_member_picture { width: 100%;}

Hey webDes13,

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: 690px) {
body .nectar_team_member_overlay .team_member_picture {
    display: block;
    width: 100%;
    height: 250px;
    background-position: center;
    position: absolute;
}
body .nectar_team_member_overlay .team_member_details {
    padding: 280px 10% 10%;
}
}

Cheers

thank you!

You’re very welcome :)

Interesting, how’d you exculpate yourself for not adding Salient Theme for sale during Black Friday? Cyber Monday, Black Friday – these days are the essence of discount ethics, by not reducing the cost, you’re being callous and oblivious.

Hey Lateralus578, We’ve had sale pricing for Black Friday every year during the holiday, and have stated multiple times recently in the comments that we will be offering a promotion again this year :)

Hi there, the “View” and “Read” hover text on portfolio can be replace by custom text?

Hey elv_dog,

Those strings are contained within the salient-core plugin .pot file, located at wp-content/plugins/salient-core/langauges

Cheers

Hi, when this theme will be compatible with WordPress 5.3?

Hey kre13, can you please list the specific issues you’re experiencing relating to 5.3? The only confirmed issue as of now is related to save templates within the WPBakery page builder

Thanks in advance

On the single products page I want the gallery thumbnails left aligned but without the sticky product info functionality. So basically I want them to function the same way the Bottom Aligned Thumbnails Alt option does with the gallery thumbs in a carousel, but to the left of the main image. How can I do this?

Hey dscoglio, that would require creating a vertical carousel which is beyond what CSS alone could achieve – The underlying carousel javascript would need to be altered

Thanks, I figured out a way to do it with CSS using the transform and rotate property.

Glad to hear you were able to sort it :)

It’s greyed out under Left Header menu. How can I make the entire Left Header background white?

Hey eminem0814,

In the Salient options panel > header navigation > logo & general styling, can you verify that your “Header BG Opacity” is set to 100?

Cheers

Thank you. :)

You’re very welcome eminem0814 :)

Hello! Loving the theme so far!

Only thing is that I would like to use the “Mouse Follow Play Button” option for lightbox videos, but I’m struggling in finding the option or right element. I could use some help.

Thank you!

Hey arturoalquicira, Glad to hear! When you edit the video lightbox element, that style is available from the “Link Style” dropdown.

Cheers

Hello again! I see the “Link Style” dropdown but i only have four options and the one missing is: Play button with image – Mouse Follow. (is this one) I dont know if i need to update Salient and how, without breaking anything in my site. What i tried is: I download again Salient from ThemeForest remove the theme from FileZilla and added the new folders (Salient and Salient Child) but still nothing changed, so i restored my site again.

Hey arturoalquicira,

After doing the Salient theme update, you’ll also need to update the included Salient Core plugin – which is where the new element styles will be defined.

Cheers
