Hi,

1. I am wondering, is it possible to remove the single page portfolio navigation altogether? I mean the arrows and back to all thing.

Surely this would be less work for you if you add the feature to the theme? I have been through the comments and found various types of .css that don’t work anymore.

Please tell me which one works now?

#portfolio-nav li#all-items { display: none!important; } #body portfolio-nav, .single-portfolio .bottom_controls { display: none; } .portfolio-items .col .work-item.style-4 img { transform: none!important; } .portfolio-items .col .work-item.style-4 .work-info .bottom-meta { background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5)!important; } .bottom_controls { display: none!important; }

2. Is it possible to have recent projects sortable by random? So under a single project main, having links to other projects, but at random, so as not the same for each portfolio page?

Hey Wobblefin,

1. The size would need to be set with CSS. The CSS would vary depending on what “Grid Item Spacing” you have set – could you let me know what you’ve chosen?

2/3. Sorry about the confusion, since you referenced a portfolio page I thought you were asking about the portfolio layout rather than the header navigation layout. The header navigation changed be changed to the “left header” layout in the Salient options panel > header navigation > layout related tab

4. In regards to the post grid font coloring, you could also use a CSS snippet in the page builder (top right gear icon)

.nectar-post-grid-item .content * {
    color: #ff0000!important;
}
.nectar-post-grid .meta-category a:before {
   background-color: #ff0000!important;
}

5. Is there a reason you’re trying to use the portfolio page template rather than the portfolio or post grid page builder elements to create your portfolio? The page template doesn’t offer as many options and is the older, less flexible way of displaying projects.

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

1. So i think another misunderstanding :P For the portfolio page we would like to have the portfolio on the page yes…..then on the left hand side have the navigation bar, but only for that page. The rest of the site will remain the same. - I don’t want to change the overall header navigation position for all pages.

2. Please remember that not all of us are web designers…so “you could use a CSS snippet” is like trying to explain that a banana is not a fruit to a gecko :) The option to change the colour should be available in the options for the post grid.

3. See now regarding the portfolio section again. Having a page template that “doesn’t offer as many options and is the older, less flexible way of displaying projects” should either be removed or have more options on it to avoid confusion. If the new post grid is the choice of the modern day, then why leave the old page there at all? I know it would break previous websites and all that so perhaps this is why. Just explain it in the backend rather.

4. We are trying to achieve the look as i mentioned before with the sidebar left JUST for the portfolio so we can sort them with anchor points in a side menu. We wanted to use the portfolio template because the POST GRID only allows 4 columns and we want more and for it to be full width. The portfolio page template lets us do this, but the post grid does not….

Thanks for all your help over the years by the way, you really do a great job! :)

Hey Wobblefin,

There is no option in Salient to have the portfolio navigation on the left. Going back to your initial question ( how did you get this layout on the portfolio page? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-business/portfolio/nectar-advertisement/ ) – that demo is simply using the left header layout. It’s making use of portfolio related option to keep the filters on the left. Moving the filters to that location would require custom CSS.

The portfolio page template is indeed around for legacy users. I’ve noted your suggestion in regards.

We wanted to use the portfolio template because the POST GRID only allows 4 columns and we want more and for it to be full width. The portfolio page template lets us do this, but the post grid does not….

The post grid can indeed display full width, as we demonstrate on the demos: e.g. http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-freelance-portfolio/freelance-portfolio-work/ http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/dynamic-post-grid/ To achieve that, you just need to edit the parent row to be “full width content’. The portfolio page builder element, also can display full width: https://ibb.co/LNshmJF

Form Dropdowns don’t seem to work very well on fire fox – https://ibb.co/cxbx91X

Hey MarcGarner,

I can’t replicate that locally. Can you please share the page URL in regards?

Cheers

Apologies for the wait – https://www.stringer-flavour.com/sample-request/ You will need to add a product to the request before you can see the form thanks

Hey MarcGarner,

Try to add in the following:

.woocommerce form .form-row .select2-container {
    width: 100% !important;
}

Hi ThemeNectar,

Hoping you could help me out or at least steer me in the right direction.

If you could visit: https://evermaven.agency on a tablet or browser size 690px/1024px.

You will notice that the images and text boxes are stacked but sometimes the images or side by side and other times the text boxes are side by side.

I built this page using columns and alternating the image on the left than the right. My question to you is, when viewing on a table or mobile is there any way to keep the text above each appropriate image? In other words, is it possible to make the layout out appear with image, text box, image, text box, etc.

I hope that makes sense.

Best, Alan

Hey Alan,

The ability to do this just arrived in Salient v12 :) You can use the new “column direction” option for the row http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-row/#column-direction

It can be specified differently for each viewport, so you would reverse the direction of each row where on mobile the image would normally display after the text.

Cheers

Absolutely amazing! This is perfect! Brilliant support as always.

Glad I could help, Alan :)

How can I add a Add to cart or shop now on archive page by default without having to hover over the product?

Hey sbcarlos,

In the Salient options panel > WooCommerce tab, the “Price/Star Ratings on Hover” Product Style will show that by default. If you want to keep using a different style and alter it, custom CSS would be required.

Cheers

Hello, lately I’ve been testing my site’s speed on Pingdom. There are two Salient theme resources that take longer than anything else to load – both are fontawesome. It takes 1-2,5s to load these two:

https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff2?v=4.7.0

which makes my site rank lower than it could.

Is there a way I could feed these two from my server, as a part of the theme? Or maybe some other ideas why it takes forever for them to download?

Thank you!

Hey SebastianHas, Salient loads fontawesome directly from the theme by default – do you have a plugin which is loading them externally? If you can share your URL in regards, I’d be glad to take a look.

Thanks in advance

Sorry for wasting your time – my mistake. I dug deeper and found that an Instagram Feed plugin is causing this. When deactivated everything goes back to normal.

Thank you!

No worries, SebastianHas :)

​Hello, I bought your theme long time ago and never used it. now I want to use it but I found many small issues. for example:

I am trying to create a page like you mobile app demo but on each screen I want to have 2 images (1/2 screen each) on full height with 30px margin on all sides. I don’t know why but it’s not letting me to do it. what ever I am not trying to do, I can’t get margin on the bottom for some reason.

I don’t want to pay for the support for this small thing that should be easy to do.

I am hoping you can help.

thanks.

Hey rockdesignnet,

If you’re also using the “Fullscreen Rows” option as shown in the mobile app demo, the layout you’re describing can be accomplished using the option “Full height” for the fullscreen row position, with an inner row set to 2 columns. The images would then be set as background images on each of the columns, and top/bottom padding could be used for the desired spacing to match the column margin. I created a pastebin with the setup: https://pastebin.com/Pezu4qqh

Here’s the result of that pastebin: https://ibb.co/RjGWfVr

Make sure you’re using a recent release of Salient (v12+)

Hi, I’m trying to use SVGs on my site. I’ve implemented the Safe SVG plug-in and can successfully upload and use the SVGs – until I change the max desktop width, and then they disappear… any thoughts?

Also, when I use the theme’s icons (Font Awesome), the bottom is clipped off if I fill with a gradient. They are fine with a solid color.

Please help! Thank you.

Hey quismarketing,

1. Could you share a page URL where the SVG issue can be observed?

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


body .nectar_icon_wrap .nectar_icon i {
  vertical-align: baseline;
}

Cheers

Hi there – this is the link: https://web.ledgerpay.com/payment-tokenization/

I’ve put the example as the 6th icon. The code is pasted but I’m unable to see it effecting anything…

Thanks!

Thanks quismarketing,

You can correct this before the next release by add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:


.img-with-aniamtion-wrap[data-max-width="50%"].center .inner img {
   width: 100%;
}

Cheers

Hey there. I have a question regarding the pagination on the portfolio element. In the older versions, there was an option to display page numbers (1,2,3, etc). Is that possible in this latest version? I only see the LOAD MORE option. As always, thank you.

Hey arteest,

the portfolio element still offers that as a pagination option, it’s only the “post grid” element which does not. I’ve noted your +1 for the idea

Cheers

I literally JUST discovered this, by accident, as soon as I received your reply, ha!

No worries, arteest :)

Hi, I just download the latest version of salient and I activated all plugins, but Demo Importer doesn’t exists, doesn’t appear in Salient menu option . It’s really strange, because I’ve used it before with other old versions but now it dessapeared completely that tab. Any idea what could be wrong?

Hey segurihost,

As long as you have the Salient demo importer plugin active, it should show up in the theme options. Have you already tried to disable third party plugins to rule out a conflict? If so, please reach out via the contact form on my author page with a temporary admin account so that I can take a look https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks

Hi, the theme works with? https://wordpress.org/plugins/styles-and-layouts-for-gravity-forms/

I cannot customize with your theme. another themes works.

Hey onocomp, I just tested that plugin locally and was able to use it to alter the gravity form appearance. Could you share your URL in regards?

Thanks in advance

Are there any plans to improve pagination?

I’m pretty sure Salient used to have a much more useful pagination system? It used to show page numbers, provide links to page number 2, 3, etc. Do you have plans to bring this back? The current system, with left and right arrows, is very basic.

Page numbering would be especially useful on the search results page. Click a few pages into search results now and you’ve now idea how far you’ve gone…

Also – right now, search results show a fancy bullet with search result item 1, 2, etc. alongside each result. Click to page 2 of search results – the bullet numbers start from 1 again…

Hey stu12k,

You can copy the search.php file into your child theme, delete the default WP pagination

<?php if ( get_next_posts_link() || get_previous_posts_link() ) { ?>
  <div id="pagination" data-layout="<?php echo esc_attr( $search_results_layout ); ?>">
    <div class="prev"><?php previous_posts_link( '« Previous Entries' ); ?></div>
    <div class="next"><?php next_posts_link( 'Next Entries »', '' ); ?></div>
   </div>    
<?php } ?>

And paste in the following:

<?php nectar_pagination(); ?>

Cheers

Brilliant! That’s exactly what I was after – thank you for your help!

Glad I could help stu12k :)

Can you please help me with adding mailchimp at footer? I am not getting how to do it

Hey utsavchopra30,

Are you using a plugin to add the form or trying to paste in a mailchimp embed code? Salient doesn’t have a form system built in, so you’ll need to use a plugin to add the form via a widget that you assign to the footer and then connect it to mailchimp with the following: https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/

Hi i just noticed a bug. When i am in the frontend wpbakery row settings. If i ADD a row ID# it breaks the rows and the playback of hosted videos. Please check this on your end….Also the #menu items no longer work. Latest version of Salient…

Hey Wobblefin, I haven’t been able to replicate this yet – could you please reach out via the contact form on my author page with temporary admin access, so I can take a closer look? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks in advance

Is it possible to display the product category over the product name? Just like here: https://prnt.sc/sjl4se

And maybe like here: https://prnt.sc/sjnyii

Hey 1×20, Here’s a snippet you can add into your child theme functions.php file to query for that data:

add_action( 'woocommerce_shop_loop_item_title', 'salient_child_woo_category_mod', 10 );

function salient_child_woo_category_mod() {
    echo wc_get_product_category_list( get_the_id() );
}

Some additional styling would be needed.

Cheers

looks PERFECT!

Thanks for your kind words, KirEdesign :)

Hi guys – Hope all is well! Quick question, is there a way to use multiple authors for a single blog post? Or is there a plugin for multiple authors that works with salient?

Hey brianlichty,

Unfortunately there’s nothing built into Salient to assist with multiple authors. I don’t have a specific plugin to recommend for that, but let me know if you encounter any issues.

Cheers

Thank you, currently I am trying to adapt the Co-Authors Plus plugin but I cant find which salient file controls the author output? Currently I am running Standard Blog with Side bar, Featured Image Left with the Original Skin. And I am just looking to add the names – nothing else just names and have them link to their author pages.

This is the documentation that I am reading….

https://wpvip.com/documentation/incorporate-co-authors-plus-template-tags-into-your-theme/

As Always, Thanks for the help!!!

Hey brianlichty, You can find the relevant template file in Salient at salient/includes/partials/blog/styles/standard-featured-img-left/entry.php

Cheers

Hi, Is there a tutorial on how to use the Nectar Slider? The one on the site is from 2013 and needs to be updated.

Hey JamesSanghoon,

The Nectar Slider post type stores each slide as a separate post. You can assign the slides you create a specific location, which allow you to group various slides together when calling the Nectar Slide Page builder element: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/nectar-slider-plugin/

Kindly let me know what specifically you’re having issues with so that I can point you in the right direction.

Cheers

Hi there,

Quick question, on this website and page: https://finestri.nl/ I’ve a recent post section. Am I able to add the post date to it? It’s not in the options. It’s a ‘List with Featured first row’. When I check settings the option to remove post date is already set on off. Thanks in advance.

Hey Abbenhues,

Currently, the post grid is only looking for custom excerpts set: https://www.wpentire.com/excerpt-field-in-wordpress-post-page/ I’ve noted to alter that to pull automatically as well in the next release :)

Great, thanks!

Glad I could help, Abbenhues :)

Hi, I mange a website with the Salient theme installed, but as a parent, not a child theme. It is also quite a few revisions out of date and I am wondering if there is some quick method of reverse engineering a child theme on to it? I understand how to do this with the functions.php file, but if you know of anything better, please could you assist? I did not build the site or purchase the licence, but I can confirm there is a valid licence for the site and I could get those details if we can take this further.

I just wanted to send a preliminary message first

Thank you

Hey Rav,

You’ll need to now use git (or your favorite version control software) to compare your modified version of the theme to the original version which I sent. You can then get a full list of changes and begin to move them to a child theme. Unfortunately there’s no automatic way to do that, which is why core themes should not be modified when possible.

Ah, okay I understand the process now. Thank you for this, I’m confident, we’ll be able to transfer the modifications to a child theme and then safely update the core to the latest level

Cheers, Rav

You’re welcome Rav :)

Hey there, I’m using the plugin “Use Any Font” for using a custom font, but it’s only showing up in Safari, no other browser is showing it.

Would you happen to know why this could be happening?

Thank you

Hey thomasmkl,

If it’s rendering differently in specific browsers, it could be an issue with the font file itself. Have you verified that the issue is only occurring when Salient is the active theme?
