Hi there, I’ve a pre-purchase question

Seems like some animations and effects doesn’t work on mobile (ie. parallax cascading images) Is this a limitation or it’s possible to activate on mobile. Thanks

Hey diggeridoo,

The parallax effect on the cascading images is one of the few animations that is disabled for mobile devices. Altering that would require custom modifications currently.

Hey Team Nectar, I want to edit the thank you page template which a customer can see after placing an order. I am looking for the thankyou.php file but I dont seeing it anywhere in the Salient theme folder. Can you please tell me where I can find it. I want to add some specific info at some specific location. Please help if you can.

Hey ramanjeet_singh, that template is not a part of Salient itself, but rather the WooCommerce core. Here’s an in depth guide on the various methods to customize that.

Cheers

Hi Salient guys. I am trying to overlap a shape divider on a row that is below another row with a different shape divider, but there is whitespace showing between them. The top row is using the curve, and the one below is set to an angle and they both use different color backgrounds. The divider is set to the top of the row on both. How can I remove the whitespace in between the dividers? I’ve tried z-index, my own custom z-index, and flipping the shape divider radio button to top. Nothing seems to work. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

Hey brianlichty, I would need to take a look at your page URL in order to see exactly what’s going on. Could you share that here?

Thanks

Hi there,

On this page (website) my portfolio items are displayed very very small (I’ve only one with an highlighted image) https://daphnestapel.nl/websites/

This is not how it used to be. Any idea how to fix this?

Problem already solved, sorry!

Hey Abbenhues,

I’m glad to hear you were able to sort it :)

Cheers

Hi – I’ve just updated and all has gone ok apart from the header menu which now won’t center correctly and the social icons don’t appear in line either. I noticed on the change log that there was a fix for centered menu with text logo, but mine is a picture, so has this been broken since the update? (I updated from 10.4 to 12.1) Thanks!

Hey markglenister,

Have you tried to upload a fresh copy that comes with the current version of Salient? Older child theme structures from a few years ago could create issues. In general though, you only need to use a child theme when you’re making modifications that require it i.e. template overrides, custom functions etc.

Hi! Yes I’ve just triple checked uploading the new salient child theme but it still seems to throw the menu out of position.

Thanks!

Hey markglenister, since I can’t seem to replicate this locally, please feel free to reach out via the contact form I mentioned above if you would like me to take a closer look.

Cheers

Hi—quick general question. I have recently started experimenting with the templates within the theme and notice they normally only work as previewed within a page and not blog posts.

Is there any setting that I am able to do where I can apply the templates to blog posts without it not being squashed into a single column, etc?

Hey JayCarver,

As long as you’re not using a sidebar based single post layout (which it doesn’t appear that you are currently), full width templates should work the same as on pages. Can you share an actual post URL where that’s not the case?

Thanks in advance

Hi—I normally use the component inside the theme that allows you to easily just add a vimeo or youtube link within a row. However, I notice when I do this it slows down my webpages or causes me to score poor in the “defer parsing of javascript” section of https://gtmetrix.com/reports/thefictionstoryroom.com/I52KZwwC

Is there a better way to embed videos on a webpage using the theme? Or a setting I need to make in the sailent admin panel?

Hey JayCarver,

The video player element in the page builder is simply a shorthand way of outputting the WordPress video embed, which does not include a built-in option to defer the loading. In order to do that, you would need to manually get the iframe embed code from YouTube, and then alter it slightly so that it doesn’t load immediately. Finally, adding in a snippet of JS to handle the actual loading: https://www.minddevelopmentanddesign.com/blog/how-to-defer-parsing-of-javascript-for-youtube-iframe-videos-in-wordpress/

Cheers

Dear, to change the order of the category grid you say it’s requires modding the file nectar_category_grid.php, but what exactly it has to be changed there?

Hey juanjogalaz,

If you have “all” categories selected, then you can pass in the order or orderby query parameters into the “get_categories()” function call: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#order-orderby-parameters

If you instead are selecting a group of specific categories, then the variable $category_slug_list would need to be manually sorted further down in the file.

I’ve been doing this sh&t for 20 years and I just had the most pleasant theme installation experience in Wordpress, ever. No idea how well this theme will work for me yet, but based on the first 15 minutes, I am very, very optimistic :) Thank you for putting so much attention on the back-end experience.

Hey chrisyakimov, that’s really awesome to hear! Thanks for stopping by to drop some love :)

Is there anyway to make a mega menu with a VC row? Like this https://tinyurl.com/ybk8xqbk

Hey OliverBrownCreative, as of now a layout like that would require the use of a plugin such as ubermenu.

Hi, you posted up a fix here to exclude pages from search results (only show posts) a few years ago but it looks like the code of search.php has changed since then. Is there a new way to limit search results to posts only? Thanks very much!

Hey scarletm!

You can use the following snippet inside of a child theme functions.php file to avoid having to modify the actual template code:

function searchfilter($query) {

    if ($query->is_search && !is_admin() ) {
        $query->set('post_type',array('post'));
    }

return $query;
}

add_filter('pre_get_posts','searchfilter');

Cheers

Works perfectly, thanks guys!

Glad I could help, scarletm :)

Is anyone else having an issue where the plugin Mapplic isn’t working properly with the latest version? While visible from the preview and backend, the map backdrop itself doesn’t show up from the frontend.

Hey cmcsolutionsllc, can you please share the page URL in regards where you’re experiencing the issue so that I can take a look?

Thanks in advance

Hello, do you provide elementor demo content?

Hey Philosoph,

No, Salient only provides elements and extended functionality for the WPbakery page builder.

Hi, is there a way to have a menu in the sidebar that behaves like the accordion function on this side: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-business/ thanks for your help!

Hey haoe,

Unfortunately there’s no built-in element to replicate the header navigation functionality – I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist :)

Hi. On my site: http://www.alluvia.co.za/last/product/cabernet-franc-2015/ I want to achieve this feature where I can select either 1 or a case of 6 bottles: https://altydgedacht.co.za/shop/altydgedacht-old-wine-chenin-blanc/. How do I achieve this?

Hey gustav939, that would be achieved through the use of product variations. Here are the relevant docs from WooCommerce on that: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/variable-product/

Cheers

Hey Team nectar, I have two suggestions for you. Maybe you can fix this for the upcomming update:

portfolio: 1. the Post image are not displaid automacly when I us to post the link of my portfolio page in facebook like it does with a blogpost link. 2. wehn I am editing the portfolio page and I exidently click on the admin button upper the refresh/preview button, there are no notifire to inform me that I will leave the page, like I edit a normal Page/site.

Thank you and I hope you understand what I mean.

Hey Layoutmachen,

1. Thanks for the suggestions. In regards to the social media open graph image – have you tried to use an SEO plugin such as YOAST which allows you to specify such an image?

2. The “custom thumbnail” image upload will only be used for the portfolio grid, and is not loaded on the single project page as an open graph tag for social sharing

Cheers

Thanks for your fast reply. :-)

You’re welcome, Layoutmachen :)

Hi,

Can you tell what is the name of the file that is responsible for owl carousel animations?

What I want to achieve is fade effect instead of slide effect between slides.

I can implement the change myself, just need to know where to look.

Thanks

Thanks,

Perhaps consider adding the fade in & out transition effect to the carousel options, as well as animation duration.

I can’t make the carousel transitions to change, I’ve added animation: ‘fade’, to the function, just like you have in flexsliderInit, in the same file, but the animation is still slide. This might be my “wishful thinking” or i’m missing something.

Could you give me a hint on what to change in order to add fade in & out animation between slides?

Thanks again.

Hey DigitSigma, the Owl Carousel plugin doesn’t have a built-in option for a fade transition: https://owlcarousel2.github.io/OwlCarousel2/docs/api-options.html Sorry for not mentioning that immediately, but it sounded like you were trying to extend it in a custom manner

Hi,

Thanks for replying. I saw on several internet pages that by including animate.css, it is possible to make the slides to fade instead of slide.

Even after doing that, I couldn’t achieve the effect I want. For sure, I’m missing something.

Thank for your help anyway.

Hello themenectar guys, I would like to know if you can explain me how to manually add schema markups for education on my website. For example, portfolio pages does not have markups, and i would like to change that, even adding the article markup would work for me. In case you can help me with this, i will purchase the renew support. Thanks Javier.

Hey Javier,

The files which control the output for the grid and single view are both in the salient-portfolio plugin (wp-content/plugins/salient-portfolio). They’re located at salient-portfolio/includes/frontened/shortcode (grid view) and salient-portfolio/includes/frontend/single-portfolio (single).  

Cheers

Hello, thanks for your kind answer.

Is it possible to get your deeper support in this matter, as i have limited knowledge on coding. If so, i will be glad to renew my support.

Hope your answer its yes, and we can move forward to solve this issue, which i am sure will help my portfolio to rank better on google.

Thanks. Javier.

Hey javizlatan,

There are free plugins that can help you add structured data to your posts/pages if you are uncomfortable with manually doing so. I would recommend checking out the following: https://wordpress.org/plugins/schema-and-structured-data-for-wp/

Hi,

I’m getting this notice on my DashBoard:

Your theme (Salient) contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files. These files may need updating to ensure they are compatible with the current version of WooCommerce. Suggestions to fix this:

Update your theme to the latest version. If no update is available contact your theme author asking about compatibility with the current WooCommerce version. If you copied over a template file to change something, then you will need to copy the new version of the template and apply your changes again.

Could you please help or at least release a new version of the theme that works fine with woocoomerce?

Thanks

Hey RWAPED,

The latest version of Salient is fully compatible with the current WooCommerce and should not contain that warning. Can you verify that you’re on Salient v12+? If so, please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so that we can take a look at your setup to assist https://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Thanks in advance

Hi,

The theme seems to be updated since I don’t see any pending updates. The version is 11.0.4 (I don’t know how to update it without the Wordpress notification for updates)

Could you please help me out?

Hey RWAPED,

The current version of Salient is v12.1.0 – if you want to get update notifications in your dashboard, you’ll need to install the Envato Market plugin. Check out the docs here in regards: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/

I have problem: in header accaunt link is http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce-creative/my-account/ But cart link is correct https://mysite.ru/cart/ Why is that? How to fix it?

Hey SiberianWolfNsk,

The URL for the account icon can be set to any destination – it’s configured from the Salient options panel > header navigation > layout related tab via the field titled “User Account Button URL”

Cheers

Thank You! :)

You’re welcome SiberianWolfNsk :)
