Hi,

How can i disable the Template Studio functionality of Salient theme?

Can you please advice?

Thanks

Hey toolbox101, please see the docs here in regards:

Hello.

I am using the “Top Nav Menu Pull Right” menu, and setting the “Off Canvas Navigation Menu” to the same.

By default, no mobile menu shows up. If I enable the Off Canvas Menu, the mobile nav hamburger does show up, but shows up on Desktop also, alongside the normal full menu, so it isn’t being hidden before the mobile break point. Am I missing a setting for this?

I’ve had to add my own custom CSS in the mean time to hide the mobile menu toggle until below 1000px, but it seems like this should be the default right out of the box.

Thanks

Hey efishinsea,

The mobile menu does show by default, even when you have the option disabled to keep it active on desktops as well. If you’ve already ruled out a child theme conflict by temporarily disabling it (if you’re using one), can you share your URL in regards so that I can take a look?

Thanks in advance

Love the theme by the way, I’ve been using it for years and it’s by far the best WordPress theme I’ve used!

I’ve recently switched my website (https://www.innobellamedia.uk/) to use the centered menu, but there’s an issue when the pages load – the menu first loads off-center and to the right, and then after a couple of seconds it jumps back to the right place.

It does this on every page, and in both Chrome and Firefox, and I’m not sure what could be causing it!

Any advice or thoughts would be great, thank you very much in advance.

​(I appreciate I’m out of support so fair enough if you’re unable to help me, but I’d appreciate if it’s a quick fix!)

Hey paulfp!

That is occurring due to the lazy loading functionality currently active on the header logo. You can fix it by adding 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) {
#header-outer .logo-spacing {
    min-width: 301px;
}
}

Cheers

Ah yes, that makes sense. Fix works a treat – many thanks!

(Would it be good to include a “Logo Width” field option in addition to Logo Height in /Header Navigation -> Logo & General Styling/ in a future release?)

You’re welcome paulfp :)

The width of the logo is automatically calculated to maintain the original aspect ratio based on the supplied height. However, the centered layout specifically needs to actually have the logo loaded in order to make the calculations. I’ve noted to look into workarounds with lazy loading to prevent having that jump

I just updated several WordPress sites to 5.5.1. I’m using the latest version of Salient but after the WP update, the Backend Editor is no longer showing. I can click on the Edit with WPBakery Page Builder on a page which the Frontend editor will show but if you click on the Backend Editor, it takes you to the page but the Backend Editor isn’t coming up and just shows tons of shortcodes using by WPBakery.

Any help would be appreciated, since I have a lot of sites that will have this same issue once I make the WP update to them.

Thanks, in advance,

Chad

A side note, all the sites that were upgraded to WP 5.5.1 are working fine on the frontend for the users. The only issue is the Backend Editor isn’t showing up in the admin, which is what we use to build the pages with.

Sorry for the trouble. I was able to track down the issue. It was with a plug called the Ultimate Footer Builder for WPBakery. That plugin needed to be updated for 5.5.1 which was causing the Backend Editor to not show.

Hey Chad,

I’m glad to hear you were able to track down the issue and resolve it :)

Cheers

Just purchased salient again! Love it! Does Salient have backend updates for Salient? Like notifications within the dashboard and update the theme right from the dashboard. I know themes like Avada and others have this capability. Thank you.

Hey muntzdesigns :)

As of now, the only way to get admin auto updates would be to use the Envato market plugin:

Search Box Text is Backwards

Hey FeriaPixel,

If you’re using WordPress 5.5+, you need to also be using a current release of Salient (12.1.1+) http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html#12-1-1

oh! I didn´t received that email update. that´s wird. thanks, i will try that

You’re welcome FeriaPixel :)

Another quick one for you if you have the chance. I’m having issues with the carousel starting before I scroll down to it. It’s in it’s own 1/1 full row, but it’s important that pple see the first slides as the first thing they see. Maybe i’ve got a setting wrong. http://intrepidconsulting.net/

Thankyou!

Hey SiteTonight,

The autorotation feature in flickity doesn’t take the current scroll position into account. It will simply automatically rotate the carousel at a predetermined interval, in your case 9 seconds. You can disable that all together by simply deleting the 9000 value out of the autorotation speed field.

could I pay you to modify it? Hello@amazingconnect.net if so?

Hey SiteTonight, Unfortunately i’m not personally available for freelance gigs, but you could check out Envato Studio in regards: https://studio.envato.com/explore/wordpress

Cheers

Just a note to maybe fix for next update is an issue i’ve noticed with the “Fixed text content full width” Carousel element. The text content area does NOT like when you put html inside it ie; <hx> . The issue mainly persists when you’re working on either the backend editor then you save then switch to the frontend editor or vise versa, then by doing so it will delete all your content out of the text content area. This has happened for quite some time and on many different website i’ve used salient with that element so no need to post my site link. Also would be nice to be able to change the button styling that section creates.Just thought i’d let you know!

Hey SiteTonight!

That’s occurring because the text content on that element is stored as a shortcode attribute, and WordPress will automatically strip HTML e.g.

flickity_fixed_conten="text_content" 

I’ve noted the idea to offer a secondary field to allow HTML

Cheers

ahh ok! Is there a tricky way around it from my end?

Hey SiteTonight, unfortunately without adding an HTML enabled field into the element, it wouldn’t be easily possible.

Hi everyone. How can we add a button or big heading on mega menu? I don’t see any options adding button on the mega or dropdown menu. Is that required extension or plugin for that?

Hey thenovagroup, as of the current version there are no options for that. However, the next release will be adding that functionality :)

Hi everybody! I wish you are ok. Can I customize each of the product category page of Woo?

Thank you.

Hey alandres,

Unfortunately WooCommerce doesn’t have functionality built-in to allow for a page builder to be used to create custom category archives. The easiest solution without having to create a custom template file in a child theme would involve creating a page using the builder, switching to the classic editor mode and copying the shortcode setup, and then pasting that into the product category “description field”.

Thank you!! Have a nice weekend!.

You as well :)

hi isn`t it possible to give the single image element an description in the lightbox?

Hey haoe,

That option is coming in the next release and already exists in the current beta. If you’d like to get on the pre-release list, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Cheers

We purchased this theme. When we try to change the logo after saving changes the new logo wont appear

Hey becca_v,

If you’re using a transparent header navigation, ensure that you’ve also uploaded logos to the Salient options panel > header navigation > transparent header effect tab.

If that’s not relevant for your setup, 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

Can I add a slide show before the menu on the home page?

Hey designFaustini, Unfortunately as of now there’s no option for that.

Cheers

Dear colleagues of ThemeNectar,

I have hire a freelance to make some changes in our website, he has created a plugin which uses shortcodes to deploy different elements.

The issue is that he is telling me that the theme is changing automatically the shortode replacing them for plain text.

Maybe is something related with the child theme?

Please, i would appreciate a lot if you can help me to sort this out Javier

Hey Javier, Salient doesn’t filter out shortcodes – can you please share the URL and list specifically where the shortcodes are being used i.e. in the page builder/ in a page template etc.

Thanks,

Hey, We have this page https://picturesmith.tv/portfolio/subway-sponsors-the-big-bang-theory/ and at the bottom of it there are four videos. I am hoping to have a link at the top of the page, that will link to those videos. Or a video lightbox but that will include all 4 of the videos in one button.

Please help!

Hey Picturesmith,

There’s no option built in for a video lightbox gallery, however you can add a link that will lead the user to that section. To do so, place a button or call to action element where desired and set ”#Video” as the link URL (without quotes).

Cheers

Hey haoe,

Can you share the page URL so that I can take a look at the full settings to assist?

Thanks in advance

Hello, Does this theme work with the Ecwid ecommerce plugin?

Hey sweetpweb,

Salient only provides integration with WooCommerce. It should work with other WordPress eCommerce plugins, but I have not tested that one.

Cheers

thanks, I may give it a shot in dev.

Hi ThemeNectar,

https://www.dev-evermaven.com/conservationmeasures/about/

On the link above can you help me out with the following:

1. How can I control the width of the 2 buttons within the header menu on the right-hand side?

2. Have the search magnify glass icon to the right of the ‘News and Events’ tab?

Thanks for all your help.

Best, Alan

Hey Alan,

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


#top nav > ul > li.button_solid_color > a {
    padding: 0 20px 0 20px !important;
}

Awesome!!!! A+++ customer support as always. Many thanks.

Glad I could help, Alan :)

Hi! How can I change the black background in the lightbox (when I use it into a gallery)? I want to change it for a different color or an image. Thank you!!

Hey Rofe,

Try the following:

#ajax-content-wrap .portfolio-items[data-ps] .col .work-item .work-info-bg {
    background-color: #f00!important;
}

Thank you!!

You’re welcome, Rofe :)

Hey!

Is it possible to change the order of the columns next to an article (Recent Posts, Recent Comments, Trending Posts, ...).

Best wishes and thanks for the your awesome theme, Niklas

Hey Niklas!

If you’re referring to the sidebar widgets, you can reorder/configure them as needed in the WordPress Admin > Appearance > Widgets section.

Cheers
