Hi, Is it possible to make the background image, in row settings, responsive on this theme

Hey Dkomborero,

Because there are so many possibilities for how a row can be setup, it would be hard to help without seeing the setup you’re using. Could you alternatively provide a screenshot of the desktop/mobile state?

For some general advice, if you’re using top/bottom padding on the row – make sure you’re using a % based value instead of a pixel based value. Depending on how much content you have in the row, ensure that the typography responsive settings you’ve specified in Salient options are allowing adequate resizing.

Thanks Dkomborero,

In order to have the image set as the BG in your row remain similar on mobile, the aspect ratio of the row would need to remain similar on both viewport sizes. As of now, the aspect ratio is changing dramatically. Altering this would mean a greater reduction in the size of the text used via the theme options > typography > responsive settings, and removing the right/padding padding on the column that’s preventing the text from expanding the full width of the container.

Salient uses the CSS property “cover” for background sizing, which ensures that the images is used at exactly the size needed to fill the space to prevent empty spaces:

Hello, is there a font overview (webpage) with all the standard fonts in Salient?

Hey ponchovogel,

Salient includes access to all the free google fonts, and should be displaying a live preview of what the font looks like when you select it via the typography options. If you’re looking for a live preview before selecting the font family, you could check out the main Google fonts page here: https://fonts.google.com/

Cheers

Thank you :)

You’re welcome :)

Hey BD, that’s awesome to hear! Thanks so much for dropping by to spread some love.

Hope you’ve been well :)

Hi there! How can I add a custom field (ACF) to the blog posts that are shown on a page which has the “recent blogs” module of the Salient VC builder? I would like to add a custom field above the title. And also would like to add a “Read more” link.

Hey reijerstevens,

If you’re using the recent release, around line 250 :)

Thanks, that worked! And if I would like to add the same content to the single post page header with blog header type “Variable height minimal” below the h1 entry title? Which php file handles that?

Great, reijerstevens :)

For the next mod, if you’re using post headers without any featured image assigned to the header the file will be salient/includes/partials/single-post/post-header-no-image-regular.php If you are using image based post headers, the file will be salient/nectar/helpers/page-header.php

Hello, Do you have some PSD for Salient? thanks

Hey molinpierre, I’m afraid Salient does not provide any PSD files for the demos

Amazing update as ever! Thanks for the ongoing development

Thanks ND81! :)

I’ve updated to the latest theme and WP 5.4 but my top portfolio image is no longer showing the images on all portfolio pages. The images appear on the home page and in the ‘preview’ and are all accessible so not sure what the problem is.

I also get the error: ....public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line287​

Hey garethvaughan,

Can you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look? Alternatively, feel free to reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks in advance

I want to start using Woocommerce Subscriptions, Product Bundles, and All Products for Woocommerce Subscriptions but I can’t get my product page to layout like they have in their example. How can I get my product page to look like this? https://docs.woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/apfs-use-case-bean-box-product-v.3.0.png

Hi ThemeNectar,

Got this theme in 2017 and am still loving this theme in 2020. Many thanks for the wonderful theme and constant updates.

However, after updating with the recent update (v12.0), I dont see the new features added in the changelog? Is it because my WordPress version is not up to date (v5.4)? My web host dont plan to update our PHP..

Thanks & stay safe, Leonard

Hey leonardlyz, thanks a lot!

After updating the theme, make sure you also update the included Salient plugins to their current version as specified in the “updated” section of the changelog.

Hope you’re staying safe as well :)

Oh yes got it alr thanks a lot!

For WordPress it can be found at Appearance > Themes > Plugins.

Thank you once again.

You’re, welcome leonardlyz :)

When a user clicks a portfolio thumbnail, I would like the user to be directed to a specific anchor on the single portfolio page. I would like this to be done on every portfolio thumbnail using the same anchor name. Is that possible? Thanks!

Hey lindsayclineco,

This would require a modification to the salient-portfolio/includes/frontend/shortcode.php file

Within that, near line 216 (depending on your version) there a line which can be altered to globally apply the change:

$the_project_link = (!empty($custom_project_link)) ? $custom_project_link : esc_url(get_permalink());

Cheers

hello want your topic. But I wanted you to have this kind of header as in the picture https://www.evernote.com/shard/s246/sh/82d4de5f-df62-7d7a-ab52-31e656c78622/392109fcf9abadbf0c4bc5dc88e41a15 That is, the content is full width and the Boxed header?

Hey alexandrio10,

Unfortunately Salient does not include a header design such as that. It would require some custom CSS.

Ho wow… great update!!! Thanks a lot for supporting this theme! Great great job!!! Stay Safe!

Thanks a lot, barreoblique :)

Hope you’re staying safe as well!

Hello, I updated your theme to 12v. if I am using Child theme will it follow up? I can’t see new options. Thank you.

You’re welcome videofuzion  :)

Hey Phil. Thank you again for another amazing update. Really appreciate all of your hard work and effort. Hope you keep the updates coming. Congrats!

Hey joe88, Thanks for the kind words!

I’m happy to share it with you all :)

Cheers

I’ve bought this theme a million years ago and never ever had I regret it. Awesome job, boys

That’s truly awesome to hear, PapaJohns :)

Glad you’ve been enjoying Salient!

Amazing new update guys… some huge game changers in there! Setting padding/margins etc specific to each device is HUGE.

Just one thing we’ve noticed for the bug list – on the add social buttons element in VC, there’s no option for Instagram, it’s missing. There’s also no social icons widget for the footer – would be really helpful!

Thanks createdesignsuk!

It’s been a long time in the works and I’m excited to finally share it with you all. I’ve noted your request for the wishlist :)

Cheers

Hi again!

I have a question. Before, when I used the Agency theme with video (webm file) background in the hero space, it worked on both desktop and mobile. But now when I tried the Corporate 3 theme and used the video background (same file), it doesn’t show on mobile.

(1) How to fix above mentioned issue? Seems like a general problem for this specific theme.

(2) Also, how would I fix the styling so the hero text has the same styling as in the Agency theme, but in Corporate 3?

(3) And lastly, when I upload a logo same logos that I use in Agency, the logo is really small on desktop, even though I have both a retina version and smaller. I tried different sizes of the logo, but it’s small all the time. How to sort this out if this is something that happens in general in Corporate 3?

Thank you so much for a great theme! Would really appreciate if you help me out here.

Mr. Cross

Hey crosslateral,

1. The caching that could cause an entirely different WordPress theme to appear activated would not be related to the browser cache, but rather server cache. In the case that two seemingly separate installations are being used for http/https, you’ll need to contact your hosting provide in regards.

2 & 4. Remove the row, and instead use the page header meta with the “fullscreen Height” option selected: https://ibb.co/H2zk72S

3. You need to provide a .mp4 version of the video for Safari playback – .webm file types are not supported in that browser

5. 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: 450px) {
#slide-out-widget-area.slide-out-from-right {
    padding-left: 40px;
}
}

Thank you so much!

Only crux left now is: (3) Also have a .mp4 version now. How to make site play mp4 if Safari and .webm for all other browsers?

You are geniuses for making such a great product!

Mr. Cross

You’re welcome Mr. Cross :)

If you supply both file formats, the browser will automatically determine which to play.

Hi guys, congratulations on the new update, I wanted to know if you guys have any support for Mega-menu with images or widgets, it has been requested since 2014, and there are not support whatsoever under this feature that is highly requested.

Thanks thekayzer1 :)

It’s still an item on the wishlist. For now, it would still require the use of custom CSS or a plugin. However, I’ve noted your +1.

Cheers
