Hey TN,

I noticed problems with the text with font icon. Fonts are not displaying properly. Can you help me out?

This is an example-url: https://spieren.de/24-stunden-services/termin-buchen/

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

Thomas Klur

Hey Klur,

It looks as though there may be a plugin conflict between “menu icons”. If you do not wish to disable that, you could try using the new Salient element “icon list” instead of the legacy “text with icon” element – there should not be a conflict between those two.

Cheers

Hey ThemeNectar,

thanks for your quick reply and helping me out.

Cheers

Glad I could assist, TKMundM :)

Hi again, i wanna clean up my site and delete the things i don`t need. Hoe is it possible t deactivate the follwoing ccs loads salient-social-css and also the salient-social-css inline css, font-awesome-css ? A built in possibility to deactivate the things you don`t need in the Salient area would be a great thing! Thank you for your help!

Hey haoe,

1. The Salient Social css will not be added to your site if you deactivate the Salient Social plugin: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-social-plugin/

2. Salient makes use of fontawesome for various theme icons – if you’re sure you’re not using any, you could dequeue it from a child theme functions.php file by adding the following:


add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'salient_child_dequeue', 100);
function salient_child_dequeue() {
    wp_dequeue_style( 'font-awesome' );
}

Cheers

Hi guys, how can i bring my individual css from the salient Custom CSS Code area to an external stylesheet and not to display in the head on all sites? The button Force Dynamic CSS to Inline In Head will not work, there is no difference when activating it or not, every time the css is in the head of the sites! thanks for your help!

i only get an dynamic-css-inline-css with all the data in the head and not in an external file!

Hey haoe,

If you wish for the CSS to remain in an external stylesheet, consider using a child theme so you can have an actual stylesheet (style.css)

Cheers

Hi, is there a way to stop the page sub menu to not change to menu on mobile please? I only have 1 item so I would like it to remain. Many thanks.

Sorry veccccio,

For that, you can use the following:

@media only screen and (max-width: 999px) and (min-width: 1px) {
body .page-submenu .mobile-menu-link {
    display: none;
}
body .page-submenu ul {
    position: relative;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    display: block;

}

body #ajax-content-wrap .page-submenu ul li {
    display: inline-block;
    margin: 0 25px;
}

}

Cheers

I am sorry, this does not work either.

Hey veccccio, the above CSS should work for the page submenu element – could you please share the page URL where you’ve added it in so I can take a look?

Thanks in advance

Hi, i have a big proglem. When my customers did ask “which one theme is best?” I answered “Salient” and there was buy this theme.

Now my all customers call me and tell “we can’t update anything (post or page)”

All sites get error > admin.ajax 403 or 404

All sites get error > Post.php go to 404 when update the page.

All sites was perfect but, now what is happend All sites are Worse.

No body tell you it? Sites are working ONLY frontend; backend is Died.

Hey sinayes, I’m sorry to hear you’ve ran into an issue. As I mentioned yesterday – this sounds like a security feature on your server is blocking the update function (most likely ModSecurity). Have you contacted your hosting company yet in regards to see if they can disable that feature if it’s active?

Hi, I am not sure if this is possible, but I am hoping you can help me with this. I am using the Interactive Map with the Leaflet Map Type. However, when you view it on a smaller screen and the map section is the only area in view the hand show up and you can’t scroll to the next section of the website, you can only scroll (more like drag/pan) the map around. Is there a way to disable this feature? I don’t need people to be able to move the map, I want them to scroll over it to the next area of the website. I hope this makes sense.

Thanks

Hey allcore :)

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


.nectar-leaflet-map {
  pointer-events: none;
}

Cheers

​Hello there.

I have had some problems translating the theme or better say the Composer. It is weird, There is one .po file of the theme and one for the page builder. I found out that some of the translation of the page builder are located in theme’s .po file and not on the page builder’s .po file.

For example:
The “Call to action” item in the page builder need to be translated. I found out that the string is not in the .po file of the plugin, rather in the theme’s .po file. I translated all the strings in theme but somehow some of the the page builder items are still in English. I am sure that the ones which are included in the plugin’s .po file are loading but the strings that are suppose to be loaded from theme’s .po file such as “CTA” are not loading.

I had the translation files called:

de_DE.po
de_DE.mo​
In the “lang” folder of the theme. This however does not work so I had to create a folder called “themes” in wp-content/languages and change the name of the files adding the theme name in the beginning. This way the theme translations are all done but the plugin still has english words in it such as “Pricing tables”, “Call to action” and …

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x5Q09TXq46OgVpwZ0NJNEpMeUNf7GnfR/view?usp=sharing

Long story short:

How can I translate the page builder’s items (some get translated and some not) and do I need to translate the plugin separately? I have read all your documentation about the language and have tried all the steps. Please note as explained above “Adding the de_DE.po and de_DE.mo to /lang does not work”.



Thank you in advance

Cheers

Hey Babimcc,

The strings for the page builder elements are kept within the salient-core plugin, which is where the elements themselves are registered. I just did a test with the translation plugin say what to confirm it can be translated:

Can you please open a ticket on our support forum in regards with temporary admin credentials so we can take a closer look into why its not translating in your setup?: https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Is there a best way of coping with setting up pages for desktop, tablet and mobile? And I don’t even take landscape and portrait mode into consideration.

Right now I make separate rows especially for desktop, tablet and mobile and in the COLUMN SETTINGS > RESPONSIVE OPTIONS I hide or unhide the specific devices for that specific row. This takes a lot of work and also clutters my interface with a lot of extra rows that do not show clearly what they stand for.

It would be so much easier if the WP Bakery Page Builder interface could offer space in the interface to work on the different desktop, tablet and mobile versions of the website. I guess this option is not available since I never discovered it. Another simple step in the right direction would be the option to add notes to rows that are shown at the top of the rows. See also my screenshot: https://www.evernote.com/l/AASr2Nc-szVIUIXh-5G2cXkGxiQ6yNg-Rvo

What is the best way of handling this problem to handle different devices? How do you cope with this issue? Do you have an easier way of working? Is there handy documentation for this issue?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers, Marc

P.S. I know that this is a WP Bakery issue !

Hey Marc,

There’s no built-in way to have completely separate rows for different devices without CSS. However, the next update will be extending the page builder to allow for different values to be set on many row/column settings per viewport.

Is there a way to control the number of columns on the flickity carousel on mobile? I would like 2 columns rather than one.

Hey MarcGarner, please share your page URL so I can see your current setup to assist.

Thanks

foodieflavours.com https://ibb.co/BsjfRc4

Thanks MarcGarner,

@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
.nectar-flickity.nectar-carousel[data-wrap="no-wrap"][data-controls="touch_total"] .flickity-slider .cell {
    width: 49%;
}

Hi guys, i installed yoast seo but it gives me problems. The plugin does not detect the text in the articles and reports as if there were zero words in the articles. Can you help me please? Thanks a lot!

PS: the problem occurs with portfolio post type. In this article for example https://visitfoligno.it/matrimonio-in-toscana/ yoast seo detects zero words in the text

Hey plasmedia,

Are you experiencing this with other content types as well (posts/pages) or just the portfolio? 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

is it possible to control the background and icon color of the arrow controls on the woocommerce product flickity carousel?

Hey MarcGarner,


body .woocommerce .nectar-woo-flickity[data-controls="arrows-and-text"] .flickity-prev-next-button:after {
    background-color: #333!important;
}

.nectar-woo-flickity[data-controls="arrows-and-text"] .previous:before, 
.nectar-woo-flickity[data-controls="arrows-and-text"] .next:before, 
.nectar-woo-flickity[data-controls="arrows-and-text"] .flickity-prev-next-button:after {
  background-color: #fff!important;
}
.nectar-woo-flickity[data-controls="arrows-and-text"] .previous .arrow, 
.nectar-woo-flickity[data-controls="arrows-and-text"] .next .arrow {
  color: #fff!important;
}

Thanks, but this doesn’t seem to effect the head of the arrow https://ibb.co/QkKBSxS

Hey MarcGarner,

Add this in as well:

body .span_12.dark .woocommerce .nectar-woo-flickity[data-controls="arrows-and-text"] .next .arrow {
  fill: #fff!important;
}

There’s a bug on Image Gallery Settings. If you choose “Nectar Slider Style” from Gallery type, the output will be like Flickity Style. Salient v11.0.4

Hey djmalibiran, I can not replicate this issue from my end. 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

Hi,

When I edit anything in my homepage and click to update I see 403 forbbiden error. I can not change any word or image in my homepage. Because when I click to “update” error. ​​The other pages works fine. ​What is the problem?

Hey Surion, that sounds like a security feature on your server accidentally blocking the request. Could you please double check with your hosting provider if ModSecurity is enabled, and if so, that the correct rule set is in use for WordPress?

Is it possible with the Fancy Box (color effect hover box), to change the icon colour before hover but still have it turn white on hover? foodieflavours.com

Hey MarcGarner, You can use this:


body .nectar-fancy-box[data-style="color_box_hover"][data-color="accent-color"]:not(:hover) .icon-default-style {
  color: #000;
}

How would you suggest aligning the image to the bottom, row is equal height columns aligned top. https://ibb.co/7R3MsSW https://ibb.co/gzCTx3L

Hey MarcGarner, Give the column holding the img a class name e.g. “align-bottom” (without quotes) and then use the css:

.align-bottom .vc_column-inner {
  align-self: flex-end;
}

Is it possible to align a column bottom with this and then align a text element within it to the top?

Hey MarcGarner,

You’ll need to remove the previous snippet and use the following instead:

.align-bottom .vc_column-inner .wpb_wrapper {
    height: 100%;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    justify-content: space-between;
}

Cheers

when are you guys are planning to push the next minor or major update of theme and features or fixes you would like to disclose?

Hey ashish1685277, It will release this month – if you’d like access now, please reach out via the contact form on my author page for the beta https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

I would like to know. A client of mine want to set up a couple of website with different domain and dashboard but keeping the same style and layout. would that be consider as 1 project or multiple?

If it is multiple, do you have multiple project license so I can buy it in bulks?

Hey turbochargeguy,

Each separate domain requires its own license – unfortunately there’s no developer license that Envato offers at this time.

Cheers

Hi, I like your theme. I want to make a website for video templates, which I am able to sell these. Will I be able to do:

1- can I make the video preview before the client open the link to see the details.

2- can I have built in Video player in the theme?

3- Selling videos and have store featured (check out and payment.

4- make categories for the videos.

5- how much it will charge to add the store feature to you theme if you will do it from your side?

Thanks, Khalil

Hey Khalil,

1. The portfolio element doesn’t support video previews in the grid at this time

2. Salient does allow you to use self hosted videos for playback in a video element as well as background layers of rows

3. We provide style and integration with WooCommerce – here’s an example demo: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce-ultimate

4. Categories can be made in the portfolio and through WooCommerce

5. We are not personally available for client work, however there’s a freelance service from Envato for stuff like this: https://studio.envato.com/explore/wordpress

Cheers

I want to use your theme on this site. https://mystilhome.com/ Is your theme speed good? Are blog titles h1? Thank you.

Hey donanma44,

1. Feel free to test out our demo URLs in regards on GTmetrix/google page speed. As with any WordPress site, caching/minification are needed to get excellent pagespeed scores.

2. Yes, the blog titles are H1.

Cheers

Hi, I really love the upgrades you guys have made for this theme over the past couple of years!! One thing that could use adjusting…. I love using the “back to top” icon at the bottom of every page… however… the social icons in the footer get covered by this. Is there a way to tweak the position of either the back to top icon or scoot over the position of the social icons in the footer? Thanks Jen

Hey Jen :)

Do you have the full width footer layout enabled in the Salient options panel? That should be the only way it would end up covering them. If so, 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: 1000px) {
#footer-outer #copyright .col ul {
    padding-right: 50px;
}
}
