Using the recent posts element with hover shadow – inherit colour from image.

The shadow on hover appears very glitchy on safari – https://lounge68.com

Hey MarcGarner,

You can correct that by adding in the following CSS:

body .nectar-recent-posts-slider_multiple_visible .flickity-viewport .nectar-recent-post-bg-blur {
transform: translateY(38px) translateZ(0);
}

Cascasing Images are not loading in Chrome most of the time (I have a red underlay to images that should be showing and it doesn’t load in Chrome 95% of the time). Anyone else having this issue?

Hey ericlee,

That issue looks like it’s occurring due to the lazy loading option you have enabled in WP Rocket. Please disable that option to verify.

Thanks in advance

that fixed it! Thank you so much!!

Glad I could help, ericlee :)

Is there any way to soften the effect of the parallax effect fancy boxes. To make them a little smoother and softer when hovered over.

Hey MarcGarner, The parallax effect is created with JavaScript so CSS alone won’t be able to alter it other than the styling. Is there something specific you’re trying to alter in regard to that?

It was just to soften the responsiveness so the effect is slower and gentler. But not to worry it’s great anyway.

I have no tabbed section in elements?? I have many elements missing as well

Hey hanidanibami,

Can you please check on the following:

  1. You have “All” selected for “Elements” in the WPBakery page builder settings > role manager tab
  2. No third party plugins are causing the issue – you can check by temporary deactivating any which may be related to extending/altering WPBakery
  3. You’re on the current version of the Salient WPBakery page builder (6.2.0

Thanks in advance

Hi Guys, Great work, quick question. I am able to use 2 overlay colours for normal block (row) but when I enable shape divider, is there anyway to choose to overlay colours for the shape divider? Otherwise it looks like this: https://ibb.co/F5rHJZj Thanks

Hey anthonysinclair :) Is the shape divider added to the same row as the above content? If so, there should be no gap. Could you kindly share the actual page URL in regards?

Hi, is there an option to replace pagination with the “load more” button on the serach.php page?

Hey BoringOwl, there is no option built into Salient for that. However, I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist.

Cheers

Hi, We set the video background in salient wp page builder but it cannot be displayed in mobile version. Last year when I created the website, it displayed but now it cannot. Can you help us sort the issue? Thanks

Here is our website: https://theflow.love

Hey thenovagroup, When attempting to access your video file directly in a mobile browser, I’m noticing a large stall occurring: https://theflow.love/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Pexels-Videos-1390942.mp4

Please try to run your video through a web encoder, such as the one described in the documentation: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-row/#video-background Also, you should aim to keep the size much lower than it currently is for fast web playback. It’s currently around 75MB, which is not suitable for a background video. You could compress it down around 10MB or less judging from the video length.

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar,
Is there a way to target main footer font size/ properties without affecting the assigned global property?

Hey BlueScreenPanda,

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


#footer-outer .col {
    font-size: 12px;
    line-height: 1.8em;
}

Hi my website https://thefictionstoryroom.com/ and the posts within it generally score poor page speeds and get “E” on YSlow grade. Is there anything that can be done to get at least regular results? I now have my website behind CDN but it has not changed performance speeds. I get a ton of errors about the javacscript or CSS. For the most part I optimize the images but nothing seems to help. Is the theme just that heavy in code?

Hey JayCarver,

If you examine the GTMetrix report, you’ll see all the specifics of what’s causing the low score. There’s lot of third party JavaScript being loading, which is not set up to be cached correctly (Google Ads, webform, Youtube): https://ibb.co/dkby1yc

You also need to enable minification for CSS and JS – it’s an important aspect of performance. I recommend W3 Total Cache or Autoptimize:

How do I change the header link mouse hover color? I change in header settings but nothing happens?

Hey hanidanibami,

After you’ve specified a custom color for it in the Salient options panel > header navigation > logo & general styling tab, please ensure that you have the “Header Color Scheme” set to “custom” within the same tab, above the color pickers.

Cheers

I did that but it stays white

Hey hanidanibami,

If you’re using the transparent header effect, the colors for that are in the relevant tab (Salient options panel > header navigation > transparent header effect tab). If you’re not using that, please share your URL in regards so that I can take a look at the setup.

Question on the portfolio section, ​I would like to use the full screen rows page style on the Portfolio pages. Can this be done, or is there a way of achieving the same effect? Alternatively could a page be created and then linked to the portfolio section so that the full screen rows can work on portfolio pages?

Hey ds_ign,

To make use of that option, a separate page would indeed need to be created and then linked to the project. You can link any project to a custom URL by adding in the desired URL into the “External project URL” field in the project configuration metabox: https://ibb.co/3NzKbdx

Cheers

Hi. I have a problem with the WpBakery Page Builder, with the admin user I can view it to edit in the backend but in the store manager user not.

It is activated in the role of store manager, to be able to edit the backend but nevertheless it does not show it. How can I do?

Hey mirazoqui, are you using the latest version of the Salient WPbakery page builder (6.2.0)? This was a confirmed issue in earlier releases that the developers sorted out.

Yes. I’m using the laster version: 6.2.0

Hey mirazoqui,

I can’t replicate this issue locally. Please open a ticket on our support forum in regards with temporary admin credentials so we can take a closer look into this: https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Thanks in advance

Hi, my search results returns condensed font vibe365.ca

Hey djb19,

The search results use an h2 for the typography and will inherit the letter spacing from the Salient options panel > typography tab > general html elements tab > heading 2 field. If you want to alter the search results separately, add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:


body #search-results .result h2 {
  letter-spacing: 0;
}

Thanks! it worked. Is there a way I can see what users input in the search field? This is very useful for analytics and to see what site visitors are looking for.

Hey djb19, you would need to use a plugin to achieve that functionality. Here’s a guide in regards: https://www.monsterinsights.com/how-to-set-up-site-search-tracking-in-wordpress-step-by-step/

Cheers

Please improve the woocommerce checkout page: D

Give it a “Salient” touch.

Hey ofmarconi, thanks for the request :)

Hi, I’m trying to use this plugin with salient but most of it’s features are not working for e.g. play video automatically on the shop page itself, adjust width and height of the thumbnail on the shop page, etc.

Plugin: https://woocommerce.com/products/product-video-for-woocommerce/ Plugin Demo: http://woocommerce.addifypro.com/product_videos/shop/

My site: https://mysterymdev.wpengine.com/product-category/videos-animation/

Is there a code that I can add so this functionality starts working?

Hey adiojack,

1. There’s no ETA at this moment, however if you’d like an early copy with this specific fix included Feel free to reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

2. Could you kindly provide a screenshot highlighting which are you’re trying to alter? From taking a look at your product page the add to cart buttons already seems close to the text above it.

Cheers

Hi Team

You were supposed to fix a bug with the next update of the theme but so far there is not fix even after many updates.

Here’s what you had said

>> Thanks for relaying. As I mentioned, Salient does ensure YouTube embeds are displayed in a 16:9 aspect ratio – however we will be removing that functionality for the plugin in the next release :)

I’ve updated my Wordpress version and now my Lightbox functionality is broken. It will only fix if I update the theme. When I update the theme, I lose the custom fix to the above issue.

Please suggest what can be done?

Hey adiojack,

I replied to your emails earlier today in regards.

Cheers

​When using the Recent Posts element in page builder, there is no setting to specify a solid color or gradient color, you can only choose between Solid or Gradient for the BG Overlay setting.

Changing the Background Overlay color in Salient Settings > Blog does not affect the overlay color in the element, neither does the Paralax setting as the Recent Posts is Paralax when the setting is set to NONE on the Blog settings under theme settings.

Hey LevationHosting,

1. CSS would be required to alter the overlay color for that element currently. Here’s an example which you can add into custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:


body .nectar-recent-posts-single_featured .nectar-recent-post-slide .nectar-recent-post-bg:after {
    background-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.6);
}

2. The page header theme options will only affect the actual page header defined for a page, which is configured by the bottom “page header” metabox: https://ibb.co/6ZkH6ft

Hi there,
Is there a reason why the RSS readers are not reading the featured image for the blog posts when one is set? Instead they are pulling embedded article imagery. How do I fix that?

Hey BlueScreenPanda,

WordPress won’t add in featured images by default for RSS, however you can use a plugin or snippet in your child theme to add that in.

Cheers

Thank you, ThemeNectar. That didn’t work, but at least I know it’s not on your end.

​I am getting this error:

Error saving action: ActionScheduler_Action::$args too long. To ensure the args column can be indexed, action args should not be more than 8000 characters when encoded as JSON.

When I add more than 1 item to the cart.​

Hey roye209,

Are you using the latest version of WooCommerce? Salient doesn’t directly handle or modify that action – it’s part of the core of WooCommerce. If you’re already using the latest version, can you verify if the issue is still present when swapping to the default WordPress theme?

Thanks in advance

Hey Team Salient!

I want to edit the “category page” but can’t find the source .php file or function responsible for displaying the content when a reader clicks a tag link.

Can you tell me where to locate the source file/function?

Best, Peter

Hey Peter,

The index.php file is used for all archive blog pages (tags/categories/date etc..) The header function displayed on that archive is called “nectar_page_header” and can be found in salient/nectar/helpers/page-header.php

Cheers

Thx! All cool :)

You’re welcome, mikromakro :)

Hi the single portfolio page is also aligning the “Image comparison” left. There is no option to center it, column center, row center etc does nothing.

Please update this or send code to fix, it has been a week now since the video player not centering on the single portfolio page either….

wow i actually notice this comment from 4 years ago! Ok i will not wait any longer, hopefully this .css fixes it….

https://pasteboard.co/Jb53PkO.png

In your update, put options in settings, like “FIX ALL BROKEN PORTFOLIO ISSUES” button :) Have it off by default, then it won’t mess up everyones layout.

update…...wishful thinking that .css would fix the issue :(

Hey Wobblefin,

The same technique that I previously described to you for centering items in a row by using row the left & right padding still applies to this: https://ibb.co/R3HfhTQ

When you supply content in your row which is not large enough to fill the available space, you can simply add in left and right padding on the row (in an equal amount) to reduce the available space and push all inner content to the center. If you’re unable to get that working on your site, I will glady create an example in your setup – just open a ticket in regards with a temporary admin account. https://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Thanks in advance
