Hi, looking forward to purchasing but I wanted to know how do you create the video effect on the demo page. It looks like a gif but its seems to be video. You use a few times on this page. The “Small Details Make The Big Picture” and others. Is this feature included? Thanks. http://preview.themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266

Hey ejm205,

Those are videos, and Salient includes a video player element that allows you to place your own videos. All the videos on that page were created using After Effects.

nice job on the major update!!! screen size changes was a big one! Still waiting for that small business demo. Overall great work man!

Thanks SiteTonight! :)

Cheers

Hi,

Have a question about the lazy loading technology you are using, is it Native or JavaScript lazy loading?

Thanks

Hey toolbox101,

It’s javascript based with intersection observer. The native loading attribute is very new and not widely supported yet: https://caniuse.com/#feat=loading-lazy-attr

Is it possible to create a website that animates with the scroll? A video that advances each frame as the page scrolls.

Hey ofmarconi,

Unfortunately there’s no functionality to accomplish that built into Salient.

Hi! Thank you for the best theme on Themeforest. :-)

One question: In the theme Corporate 3, how to make team member infos popup instead of being on separate page?

Like this consultancy firm (inspiring). Scroll down for team members and click: https://www.cupole.se/who/

Cheers!

Hey crosslateral!

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) {
body .nectar_team_member_overlay {
    opacity: 0;
    pointer-events: none;
    max-width: 1000px;
    height: 50vh;
    box-shadow: 0px 20px 70px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
    transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%)!important;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%!important;
    transition: opacity 0.6s cubic-bezier(.2,1,.2,1);
}

body .nectar_team_member_overlay {
    opacity: 1;
    pointer-events: all;
}

}

Cheers

Hey team!

When I insert the code, the content is really off proportions.

In the popup, how to:

(1) make text area 70 % and image area 30 % of popup width, (2) shrink the padding so the text uses more of the text area width and (3) shrink the text sizes (the two headings and body text) and social media icon size in that popup?

Cheers, Mr. Cross

Hey Mr. Cross, you can add this in as well for that:


body .nectar_team_member_overlay .team_member_details {
  width: 70%;
  padding: 5%;
}
.nectar_team_member_overlay .team_member_picture {
  width: 30%;
}

.nectar_team_member_overlay[data-style="bio-fullscreen-alt"] .team_member_details h2 {
  font-size: 24px;
  line-height: 1em;
}
.nectar_team_member_overlay.open .team_member_details .team-desc {
  font-size: 14px;
  line-height: 2em;
}
.nectar_team_member_overlay .bottom_meta a i {
    font-size: 20px;
}

Hi,

I have turned off the “Force Dynamic CSS to Inline In Head” option but I am still getting this huge CSS. https://imgur.com/a/CP3LuxG

I can cut some of it down if I turn off the transparent header, but I need that for the look I am going for.

But even if I turn it off, there is a still a huge CSS in the code.

How can transfer all this into an external file? The theme options do not have such setting.

Can you please add an option? I see that a lot of people were asking for this in the form.

Thanks

Hey toolbox101, the CSS which remains in the head should be less than 8kb and is needed for dynamic theme options that change on a page by page basis. The bulk of the other global dynamic CSS, created based on theme options, is stored in salient/css/salient-dynamic-styles.css. The only way a large amount of CSS would be stored in the head is if your server is unable to write to that file (it would go to the head as a fallback). From the looks of your screenshot, that is not occurring.

Hello,

When we set Header Permanent Transparent to On, Off Canvas Menu as well as a button pulled to the right (menu) stops working on Desktop resolutions (it’s not clickable). Mobile is fine. It worked well before v12 update.

Any ideas what’s going on?

Update – I just tracked it to specifically the “right-aligned-menu-items” div, thanks for pointing this out!

You can also correct it before the next release by using the following:

#header-outer .right-aligned-menu-items {
 pointer-events: all;
}

Cheers

No problem, glad we could help. :)

The code you have provided also works as a fix, thanks!

You’re welcome freschstudio :)

Hello, on the split full screen menu, where can you add text on the right side? I can not seem to find it.

Also, love the 12.0 update. There are some cool new features! Keep up the great work.

nevermind. found it

Thanks clixgroup!

For anyone else wondering, it’s populated from the “Off Canvas Menu” widget area in Appearance > Widgets.

Cheers :)

I’m trying to build a homepage like Simple Blog except showcasing pages I select instead. Your theme says it uses WP Bakery which is capable of doing this using the Post Grid element. However, in your Nectar version of WP Bakery the Post Grid element only allows Blog Posts or Portfolio posts.

How do I get this to work with the pages instead?

Hey dotdragon,

the Post Grid in Salient is a completely different element despite sharing the same name as the raw WPBakery element. Adding a new post type into the element would require copying the post-grid template file into a child theme and adding the option into the query.

http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/overriding-salient-wpbakery-element-template-files-through-a-child-theme/

I’m not trying to override anything, I just want to make a homepage that uses Pages instead of Posts in that masonry format, is that possible?

There’s no option to query for pages in the Salient post grid element, so adding that functionality would require overriding the existing element file currently. However, I’ve noted to add such functionality into Salient in a future release.

Hope you are well. We are currently running WP 5.4 with Salient theme v12.0; WooCommerce 4.0.1 & WooCommerce Square 2.1.1. Since upgrading to WooCommerce 4.0.1, we have received the error: outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files. Specifically this template: salient-child/woocommerce/single-product/related.php version 3.0.0 is out of date. The core version is 3.9.0 Please advise on if there will be a future Salient update to address this error. Thank you for your time.

Hey bluedirtgirl,

I hope you’re doing well also :)

The notification you’re getting is related to a template override you have in your salient child theme. You’ll need to remove or update that file from your child theme in order to get the error cleared (or activate the parent theme). The Salient core theme does not include an override for that file. It would appear that someone who worked on your site in the past created that override for you.

Thank you! Keep well.

Glad I could help bluedirtgirl :)

Hey there. i have a couple quick questions. First, can you suggest a twitter plugin that works best with your theme? Would be awesome if there was one built-in with your cool styling.

Next question… how can I make my footer full width while keeping my copyright border set to container-width?

Thanks!

Hey arteest!

1. Unfortunately I don’t have a specific plugin to recommend for twitter, but if you encounter any styling conflicts just let me know.

2. If you already have the full width footer layout activated, add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:


#footer-outer[data-full-width="1"]  #copyright .container {
  max-width: 1400px;

}

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar,

Amazing theme!

Quick question, I am trying to set up a page similar to this: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/portfolio-fullwidth-masonry/

but with profile pictures that would link to a users Instagram account. Is something like that possible? In my mind I was thinking of using the ‘Team Member’ feature but can’t see a Masonry display option for that.

The layout will appear on this page: https://evermaven.agency/mavens

Also, if it possible for the opacity box on the left to stay full height or match the height of the column on the right?

Your help an insight would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Best, Alan

Hey Alan!

1. If you use the portfolio post type for this, in each project you could specify the instagram link by using the “external project url” field: https://ibb.co/7Vjpyrq

2. If you set the parent row to use equal height columns, the column heights should remain the same

Thank you for your reply I really appreciate it.

Is this not something that can be done with the Team Member feature or another method so I do not have to create 10-20 portfolio pages?

Best, Alan

Hey Alan,

There’s no option to use a masonry layout with the team members. If you do not need the masonry aspect, it would be easiest to just use a fancy box

Cheers

Hi, I’m planning on renewing my support license, but had a quick query.

I wanted to know whether we can configure the Salient theme to achieve a similar clean look as per the below website (mainly for the blog pages)

BLOG LIST PAGE : https://vtldesign.com/vital-blog/

SINGLE POST : https://vtldesign.com/digital-marketing/digital-marketing-strategy/how-to-write-marketing-plan-template/

Thanks

Hey mohammed_burhani,

You can achieve something similar, but not exactly. For example, Salient doesn’t have a single post layout like that where the sharing toolbox is fixed to the screen. You could achieve a home page that functions in a similar matter by using multiple blog/recent post elements on the page. Our recent blog demo uses the same method: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog-ultimate/

Hi!

Thank you for a great theme. I have a question:

In Corporate 3 and team members on the page, under Team Member Settings, I am trying to set email address as “Social Link”. Have tried with and without “mailto:”, but nothing works. How to fix this?

The best, Mr. Cross

Hey Mr. Cross!

Could you share the URL that shows the issue when using mailto:

Thanks in advance

Hello, I cannot seem to get the bold single testimonial to display smaller font size on mobile:

@media only screen and (min-width:400px) and (max-width:600px){ #ajax-content-wrap .nectar_single_testimonial[data-style] p { font-size: 25px!important; line-height: 30px!important;}}

This would be ideal to be coded into the element so it’s responsive. Can you advise?

https://solocedar.com/

Hey liamsiviter,

I copied your custom CSS into a local setup to take a closer look – it appears as though you have some syntax errors in CSS rules above the testimonial rule, which are preventing any CSS below from processing. Please correct or remove the following items with red x’s in the css box: https://ibb.co/SVLWKkZ

I’ve also noted to correct this font issue in the next release.

Cheers

Hi, I’m loving the v12 update! But is there a way to take out the newly added “background glow/shadow” of the Fancy Boxes when choosing the Color Box Hover Effect? I strongly prefer what it was like in the previous versions, but I see no option to change it back. Thanks!

Hey j0nthn! You can remove it by adding this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:


body .nectar-fancy-box[data-style="color_box_hover"]:before {
  display: none;
}

Cheers

Thanks! That fixed it

You’re welcome j0nthn :)

Hey guys!

For Corporate 3 theme, how do you change color for anchored links, for instance “View Services” and “Meet the team” in the body of the site? Can’t find it in the Salient Options panel, have looked under several sections.

Cheers and keep up the good work!

Can you please show where to find the settings? Would really appreciate it! :-)

Cheers

(Would it be a nice suggestion in coming version/update to have styling for that text somewhere more convenient, for instance the Salient options panel? If possible! :) )

Hey crosslateral!

Please see the following in regards: https://ibb.co/RTKDbDL

Big Please Feature Request:

The checkout page kinda sucks it would be fantastic if there were some more layout options. With clear fields and sections. Scrolling through billing details, address, Shipping options and then payment selection. Clear design for payment options would be amazing current radio buttons aren’t very good. Clear boxes in columns would be much better.

With the current design keeping the right hand “order summary” bar sticky while the details on the left scroll would be a great start.

If the design/layout isn’t controlled by the theme please let me know.

Hey MarcGarner,

The checkout page is mostly controlled through WooCommerce in terms of the layout. We’ve only modified minor things to match Salient better. Here’s the default checkout template

I’ve noted your requests :)

Hi there is a bug in the New Vertical Sticky Scrolling tab. If you put a call to action with an arrow, the arrow gets messed up. See it here https://imgur.com/a/cRugGDW

And the button is not even clickable

Buttons also have an issue, see it here https://imgur.com/a/lbhCI1M

I have also tried putting a regular link, does not work.

Can you please provide a fix? thanks

Hey toolbox101,

the fix for that will be included in the first minor release. If you’d like it early, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks, I’ll wait for the fix.

Will the Post Grid’s external projects not opening in a new link also be fixed with the next update?

Hey toolbox101, we’ll include an option for that.
