We found a problem in the responsiveness. In Woocommerce user edit account page, When we reduce the size of the browser windows to tablet size and then make it bigger again to full screen or laptop size, The user information editing form and the side menu go under the main menu. You can see this problem in the image below. Is there any css solution to fix it?

Hey Jabbarpour,

I can’t seem to replicate that locally. What version of the theme are you using? It would be helpful if you could create a staging URL with your settings.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Can you point me to a resource on how to add action hooks, and the right spot(s) for the following?

https://afterpay-online.readme.io/docs/woocommerce-frequently-asked-questions-faqs

Thanks heaps!

Hey sacredimagining!

Salient is already using those default WooCommerce hooks. Are you not able to see the plugin working on any of the areas listed in the FAQ (single, archive, cart) or is it only a specific section that you’re having issues with?

Hi again! It is working in cart, isn’t working on single product pages or archive/category page. Here is the site: https://upwarddog.com.au

Hey sacredimagining,

The hooks mentioned in those docs (woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title) and () are in use in Salient. You can find them in the “nectar_product_thumbnail_minimal” function located in salient/nectar/helpers/woocommerce.php

and in salient/wp-content/themes/salient/woocommerce/content-single-product.php

Does the theme has lazy load? if no, does it support the Litespeed plugin Lazy Load?

Hey Ango11,

Salient offers lazy loading for the image element, but since it’s a new feature it’s not a global option and must be enabled on a per image basis – The lazy loading for the blog/post grid is a global theme option though.

Third party plugins for lazy loading could break element that rely on javascript for calculations such as the portfolio/masonry blog etc.

Cheers

Hi there, can you please explain what is on per image bases, or show screenshot of the settings? Also, is the theme compatible on Litespeed servers?

Hey Ango11,

1. As in, for every image added via the page builder, there is an option to set how that image will load in the image element settings: https://ibb.co/KFbyqNV

2. Salient has the same requirements as WordPress itself

Hi there. Is there a way to have the first toggle panel open by default – and NOT use the “Accordion Toggles” mode.

Hey simonpeyto,

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

https://pastebin.com/Yi2V0ezU

Perfect! Thanks for all your help, very much appreciated.

Cheers simonpeyto :)

Hello, Me Again!

I can’t seem to find out how I can add a sidebar to my blog page. I want the Classic With SideBar.

Please advice. TIA

Hey yousif1 :)

In the Salient options panel > blog tab, you can select the layout and style which will be for all blog archive pages: https://ibb.co/vVn9tmL

If you’re instead using a page builder element to create your blog, the layout can be edited directly inside the element settings.

Cheers

Hi I have tried every setting and NOTHING changes the necter slider caption font. What could possibly stop that from changing ?

Hey 7atrick,

There’s a typography field to alter the slider caption in the Salient options panel: https://ibb.co/QCN8fV1 If you already have a font family specified for that which is not updating in your slider, please share your URL in regards so that I can assist.

Thanks in advance

Hi, in FancyBox, when click to view an image we can see 3 buttons (full screen, zoom and close) is possible add “download image”? How?

We add …

$(“[data-fancybox]”).fancybox({ animationEffect: “zoom-in-out”, animationDuration: 350, buttons: [ ‘fullScreen’, ‘zoom’, ‘download’, ‘close’ ],

in init.js (line 2629) but don’t works

Thanks

No problem, WORKS, only need delete cache after change code. THANKS :)

Hey CAPBCN, glad to hear you got it sorted :)

Cheers

Is this theme support elementor? I mean all demo pages are ready in elementor?

Hey AliCodes,

Salient does not include the demos in an elementor format – Salient only uses a tailored version of WPbakery.

Cheers

Is there a way to rename Portfolio/Project to something else, say Locale/Client?

Hey potion5,

You can alter the URL slug in the theme options > portfolio > functionality tab. The portfolio/project strings can then be altered by generating a .po file from the plugin .pot file. (wp-content/plugins/salient-portfolio/languages/salient-portfolio.pot)

I want to revamp my site to another Salient layout. If I change to a different demo using demo importer, will I lose all of my current data? What is the best method for me to retain my existing site contents but change look to a new Salient template? Thanks!

Hey ehong33234,

No existing data will be lost, only new pages/menus etc will be imported. When you click on a demo to import, you’ll also have the option to toggle whether to import the theme options https://ibb.co/BfRt8Zn If you do not want to lose your current theme options style settings, unselect that.

Cheers

Hi, I was wondering if there are solutions to the following header and mega-menu options:

- Can the header navigation background color be set to black, with light text/logo(white), and on other pages have the background color set to white with dark text/logo(black). Transparency off.

- Can WPBakery be used to build a custom menu (rows/columns) within the mega menu area?

Thanks in advance,

Hey Ewanbenoit,

Version 12 has not added to ability to use separate header coloring on a per page basis, that would still require modifications from a child theme. WPbakery also can not be used for the mega menu currently – you can find the full changelog here: http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html

Cheers

As I informed you earlier about the incompatibility of the Salient and the Slider Revolution, and you told me to inform you if I had a problem, I took these images from a sample slider to see the problem that occurs for the layers.
I tested this sample slider in other themes that are compatible with the Slider Revolution and all of them displayed this slider without any problems but as you can see in the pictures below, Salient moves the slider layers and changes their position.
If you want, I can send you the project file of this sample slider so that you can take a closer look at the problem yourself and solve the problems to make Salient something better and more complete.

Thank you I sent you via email in contact form

Thanks Jabbarpour

Hey, i directly sent you an email regarding an issue never got a reply …

Hey astutestudio, Alter the snippet to the following:

#header-outer header#top nav > ul > li.link-color > a {
    color: #8cc63f!important;
}

Thanks!

You’re welcome, astutestudio :)

Hello, I would like to change color of header social buttons facebook, YouTube to their default color: blue, red etc; but it they don’t have a separate class. Any advice? Thanks

You can alter those like so:


body #header-outer .sf-menu #social-in-menu i.fa-facebook,
body #header-outer .sf-menu #social-in-menu i.fa-facebook:after {
 color: #2f68d0!important;
}

body #header-outer .sf-menu #social-in-menu i.fa-youtube-play,

}

Perfect many thanks :D works flowless

Glad I could help, nvr21 :)

Hi, is there an option for the new dynamic post grid (http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/dynamic-post-grid/) to display an excerpt of the blog post?

Is there an option to style it like the “cards” in material design to resemble the classic salinet post widget?

Intention is to have the look of the classical masonry blog post material card styling AND use the category filter which is only available in the new widget?

Thanks for any help and keep up the good work! Salient is awesome!

Hey vizion-dan, I’ve noted the idea in regards. For altering the color,

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


body .nectar-post-grid .nectar-post-grid-item .content .meta-category a {
  color: #f00!important;
}
body .nectar-post-grid .meta-category a:before {
 background-color: #f00;
}

Cheers

Works as expected! Thanks a lot!

You’re welcome, vizion-dan :)

Thank you thank you that did it for me, wow right under my nose thank you again and keep up the good work :-)

Glad I could help out, Teatone :)

Cheers

Also a very weird thing happened to the mobile off canvas menu. It’s not showing on the home page and when the page scrolled down, it suddenly comes out from the left and blocking the logo on the top left corner. everything worked fine before I update salient and VC to the latest version.

Hey sunnydream, please see my response to your previous comment.

Cheers

This is very frustrating. I have been using Salient for years and recently updated with the newest version as well as the newest visual composer, now all my images are missing on mobile. How to fix this? Thanks!

just sent~ thanks very much!

Thanks so much! After clearing out all cache, it’s finally working now.

You’re very welcome, sunnydream :)

yo. So I just tried out the latest theme version to try out the multiscreen editing features. I do have to say I was a little disappointed. I was hoping for the ability to have content be unique per view, but that wasn’t the case. Really all I got was the ability to just change the viewport to see my edits via desktop/mobile etc. I’m sure there’s subtle changes per device but besides changelog where can I find more information on these? Really crossing my fingers that i missed something obvious and I can actually change my content Per device without having to duplicate the content.

Hey SiteTonight,

The ability to provide separate sets of content per device was never a planned feature, as that would not be the ideal solution in regard to SEO.

The devices groups in v12.0 allow you to edit the key styling attributes for each viewport (padding/margin etc.), which has opened up tons of new design possibilities and allows for much greater control over the layout. The option to control the column ordering has also been added: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-row/#column-direction

Utilizing these new features should eliminate the need for separate rows to be shown/hidden on mobile and desktop in most cases. If you’re not seeing those options, make sure you’ve also updated your version of the Salient core plugin to the current release (1.5)

Cheers

Hi, great theme and i am really enjoying it. I am not a programmer etc.. but i try my best! is there a way to make the “Portfolio display in Alphabetical” order? Do i need to insert a code somewhere?

Hey yousif1, I’m glad to hear you’ve enjoying Salient :)

If you use the newer “Post Grid” element, and set it to display from the portfolio, there’s an option built in that will allow you to query projects alphabetically: https://ibb.co/Pwq77RR

Cheers

Hello and thank you for your reply. No i do not have this option. are you able to login to my wordpress and check it out? I am not a programmer and need your help please.

Hey yousif1,

If you’re not seeing the post grid element in your page builder, you likely just need to update your theme and the included Salient plugins. Please do so by following any of the methods described in the docs that is easiest for you: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/

Cheers
