Hi there – Hi there – I can’t seem to get the read more button added to the masonry layout. I’ve tried (edited code) the following:
.ascend #search-results .result span.bottom-line, .ascend .masonry-blog-item span.bottom-line, .ascend .masonry-blog-item .more-link { display: block !important; }
article.post .more-link span, .blog-recent .more-link span { display: block !important;}
.masonry-blog-item .more-link { display: inline-block !important; }
None of them added the button. And the “Automatic Post Excerpts Using this will create automatic excerpts for your posts, placing a read more button after.” is on.
Hey mehean,
Which masonry style are you using? Only the classic masonry style will add the read more markup by default – if you are trying to that in other styles, you’ll need to copy the relevant entry.php file from salient/includes/partials/blog/styles/ into your child theme and add in the following where desired:
echo '<a class="more-link" href="' . esc_url( get_permalink() ) . '"><span class="continue-reading">' . esc_html__( 'Read More', 'salient' ) . '</span></a>';
Cheers
Thank you, that worked brilliantly. Appreciate it.
Glad I could help, mehean 
Hello there again. Can you tell me how to create a static header bar with a semi transparent background similar to the one on this site: http://mf.ly/das ? Thank you.
Hey marcfest, In the Salient options panel > header navigation > logo & general styling tab, you can use the “Header BG Opacity” slider field to reduce the opacity. If you also like the header navigation to show as transparent before scrolling, add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
#header-space { display: none; }
Cheers
Thank you !!
You’re welcome marcfest
Hi there. I hope this finds you well in these crazy times. // I’m trying to customize the heading font for one nectar slider within a group of nectar sliders associated with a particular slider location. For that one slide, I added an extra class name, “elevate”. What custom CSS should I add to the page so that the slider with that class name, i.e., for just that slider, uses the color red for the heading font? Thank you.
Hey marcfest!
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.swiper-slide.elevate .content h2 {
color: #f00!important;
}
Hope you’ve been well.
Cheers
It works like a charm. Thank you
Glad I could help, marcfest
Any update on Elementor compatibility for the Salient templates? WP Bakery just sucks, Elementor is going to make everyone’s lives easier and probably boost the sales of your theme too.
Hope your theme looks into it
Hey hrithik12345,
There has not been further developments on deeper Eementor integration yet. Thanks for the +1 for the idea though
I created a private test site to see how things are working in the currently available version..with its’ latest-supported WP version. - I highly recommend you guys(developers) go back to QA as a large set of the features, and I do mean large set, simply are not working and other settings rely on various others settings to work at all. It’s a spaghetti maze. I also recommend a tooltips system to inform the users as to what half of the cryptic controls can do unless they’re overwritten by other settings. ..The overwriting seems to happen often in the Bakery windows. THREE different locations to setup a color overlay and none of them work ? —This entire project has great potential, it simply needs to work properly…and from what I am seeing, Salient is functional at minimum at this time (I assume the WP-v5.x support was rushed and that they are working to correct that as I do not remember Salient being this unresponsive). I hope that the Salient team pulls together and corrects their systems/controls/etc. Too much simply doesn’t work. To anyone reading this; please recognize that this post is time sensitive and it does not reflect Salient overall, only during a point in time.
Hey SpaceName,
The next major release is coming in about a weeks time, as we’re currently wrapping up with the final public beta testing group.
v12 will be providing a completely improved and refreshed UI for element settings. However, in the current release it isn’t a known issue that various element setting are not functional. In your example of the BG color overlay – that is a common option used throughout many demos which are utilizing the current release & WP.
Please reach out directly with a complete list of element settings you’re referring to via the contact form on my author page and kindly also provide the private testing URL in regards so that I can take a look to assist.
Thanks & stay safe
v12 sounds good. Thx. |
“Please reach out directly with a complete list of element settings you’re referring to ” ... how much will you pay me for doing your QA work ?
Hey! I’ve been considering switching to the Elementor. You say Salient works with Elementor – do you have any tips on how to make the switch? Should I deactivate WpBakery? I’ll be grateful for your answer:)
thank you for your awesome support and all the best! Karolina
Hey Karolya!
Elementor will work with Salient, however none of the Salient specific elements will be available to use on Elementor powered pages. If you end up deactivating the Salient WPBakery page builder, the existing elements you’ve created using it will no longer render.
Thank you!
and those specific elements would be…. Nectar elements? or something else?
tx!
Hey Karolya,
Yes, the elements which are added through the Salient Core plugin.
Elementor has its own element set, but you can still keep the Salient WPBakery page builder active to keep your existing pages intact as they are.
Thank you!
You’re welcome Karolya
Hello
I have a project where i need the flickity pagination to be numbers rather than the pagination dots. By default it shows the dots, so just need to change these to show numbers, 1 2 3, etc… Please help
Also, can i please have the pagination and also the Next/Prev arrows overlaid please?
I would really appreciate your help on the above.
Many thanks
Hey elatedconsulting
There’s no option built into Salient for having both arrows and pagination dots at the same time, but CSS could be used to alter the appearance of the dots to numbers. Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.flickity-page-dots .dot {
counter-increment: step-counter;
}
.flickity-page-dots .dot:after {
content:counter(step-counter)
}
#ajax-content-wrap .flickity-page-dots .dot:before {
display: none;
}
Cheers
Brilliant, that worked! Thank you very much for your help
Glad I could help, elatedconsulting
Hey hekero, As the report you’ve pasted in mentions, there was no caching or minification enabled on that URL at the time the report was generated. We disable performance related items from time to time on our demos for testing purposes.
You can try checking it again now: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/themenectar.com/t7d4wfE2
Whaooo! impresive!, I’m purchasing another license in a few days! Thanks!
You’re welcome hekero
Hi. How can I completely remove the “skip-lazy” class from the theme?
I’ve removed it from here:
\nectar\helpers\wp-general.php
But I still see it on Single Image shortcodes or Image Gallery shortcodes. If I search the theme files for ‘skip-lazy’ I don’t see it anywhere else?
Thanks!
Hey SeanAUS120,
The single image element has its own lazy loading option directly in the element settings: https://ibb.co/HFWv1tc
If you wish to remove that class, the salient-core/includes/vc_templates/image_with_animation.php would need to be modified.
I’m looking to have a full screen row with 2 columns. In the left column I want the image to be centered vertically and in the right column I would like to have the image fixed to the bottom. Is there a way to do this?
Hey lindsayclineco,
That would require some custom CSS as each row only provides the option to select how all columns will align. Could you kindly share the URL in regards so I can take a look?
Thanks in advance
sent you an email.
Thanks lindsayclineco
Hi,
On an RTL site, there’s a problem when hovering over the remove button in the cart popup from the menu. When the X rotates, it makes the other products move as well (other than the one I hover on its remove button). How can this be fixed?
There’s another problem – When adding a product to the cart via the quick view popup, it redirects to the product page instead of remaining in the same page. I would expect it to work with Ajax and just displaying a message that the product was added to the cart without refreshing the page.
Thank you!
Hey lironnave!
1. Could you kindly share the URL in regards so I can take a look?
2. The quick view popup is loading the content from the single product page, which by default WooCommerce does not use the AJAX functionality for.
Cheers
This theme has 100k+ sells, but it would be great if it would deeply integrate some popular plugins beautifully..they work out of the box, but some need customizing, etc… - Buddypress - bbPress - Learn Dash - Sensei - Youzer etc… Thanks and all the best. Happy Easter.
Hey timtimtim, Thanks for the requests, I’ve noted them on the wishlist.
Happy Easter to you too
Stay safe
Thanks
BuddyBoss integration plugin would also be great
You’re welcome, timtimtim
Most of my blog’s featured images are not showing on my blogs page. In the single page view they appear fine, but the thumbnails after the first 10 do not show up. I’ve regenerated thumbnails, dumped cache and also tried to replace the images, nothing seems to work.
Hey lindsayclineco,
Are you using the option to “Lazy Load Blog Images” in the Salient options > blog > functionality tab combined with infinite scroll pagination? If so, please try turning the lazy loading off to see if that’s what causing the issue.
If it’s not, please share the page URL in regards so I can take a look.
Thanks
Worked. Thanks!
Glad to hear, lindsayclineco
Heads up: I just updated to the latest version of Wordpress and Woocommerce and now I’m not able to edit page content using the Salient VC editor (front or backend). Can you please look into this and update the theme and plugin to ensure compatibility with these new releases?
Thanks, Peter
Hey Peter, Salient has been tested with the latest versions of WooCommerce/WordPress without that issue. If you’ve already verified that no other third party plugin(s) you may have active is causing the issue, please reach out via the contact form on my author page with access to the setup so that I can examine the setup https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks in advance
Ok, thanks. I did a little more troubleshooting and figured it out. It was related to the new version of Woocommerce, but I got it sorted. Thanks.
Thanks for getting back in regards, PeterHoppe.
Stay safe
Hi,
we would like to use the “Advanced Grid Builder” of WPBakery Page Builder for a site using Salient Theme.
I know the WPBakery Page Builder is part of Salient, but the Grid Build isn’t.
So is it possible to buy the complete license of the WPBakery Page Builder separately and install it when using Salient?
Best, Roland
Hey Roland, If you use the raw version of the WPBakery page builder, you will not be able to use the Salient specific element set. It would not be recommended unless you are not using the theme page builder elements
OK. But so there’s no option to add the Grid Builder of WPBakery though?
Hey blickgerecht,
Not without custom modifications. The grid builder is disabled in the Salient version, though I’ve noted your +1 for the wishlist
Yes, please! Thanks
You’re welcome blickgerecht

Hi Mr. Nectar,
I’m trying to use the highlight text element twice on the same page.
Unfortunately, it only works on the first instance.
Do I need to inject any code on page to clearfix between the two elements?
Thanks!
Hey JustLaw!
Since there is no known issue with multiple instances of that element, could you please reach out via the contact form on my author page with the relevant page? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks in advance
Interested in purchasing however the only thing putting me off is that this theme hasnt been updated in 4months? Any plans to release an update with the latest version of Wordpress?
Hey GemmaXx,
Salient is already compatible with the current WordPress version. A major update for Salient will be out within 1-2 weeks – Check back then if you’re waiting for new content/features.
Cheers
Hello I have some questions, before buying. Do you have any plan for discount? When will be the next update? How frequently you update it? How long are you planning to support the theme and support it in the future?
Thanks
Hey serradino,

Hi
You have implemented the “WooCommerce products” with the flickity slider which is great. after a little check, that script supports rtl (using: “rightToLeft: true”).
https://flickity.metafizzy.co/options.html#righttoleft https://codepen.io/desandro/pen/ZYrGKNCan you please help me to understand how can I pass parameters to the slider? It is not working well right now on RTL site.
Thanks!
Hey lironnave, that will be implemented by default in the coming release. If you’d like an early copy, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Cheers
