Hi, for some reason the font I selected is sans but it shows up as serif on Chrome browser. URL: https://tinyurl.com/y2ndudpu

Hey djb19,

I’m not seeing the font being enqueued on your site from Google as it should be. Are you able to change the font to something else to get it to display correctly? If you’ve verified that this issue is not related to a third party plugin, please reach out in regards via the support forum or email.

Thanks,

Thanks! You’re right, it was a plugin. Now I want to access this page but it comes up as 404. But its a working portfolio item and I double checked the URL https://tinyurl.com/y2zfl9ep

Hey djb19,

The 404 page that URL is showing is leaving WordPress and being handled by your server directly – the WordPress 404 looks like the following: https://tinyurl.com/y3a8agxp I would contact your hosting company in regards if you’re unaware of anything that would be causing that in your setup.

Cheers

HI. Is there an ETA for the next release? Excited for menu update :)

Hey timtimtim!

There’s no hard date yet (it’s a very big update so time is being taken carefully) If you’d like to explore it early, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Cheers

Is there any way to display the portfolio item’s title on hover instead of having it all the time over the thumbnail?

Never mind! Just found it here. Thanks anyway.

Hey Mindthemix, I’m glad to hear you found what you were looking for :)

Hi ThemeNectar,

Amazing theme as always. Salient by far is the best out there.

https://www.dev-evermaven.com/ccnetglobal/news-events/

Question, if you can visit the link above where I have my recent posts displayed, is there a lay to have a ‘Load more’ button or load more on scroll. I have over 100 posts and ideally don’t want to have to list them all at once.

Thanks for your help.

Best, Alan

Hey Alan!

Yes, you can use the new “Post grid” element for that. It has the option for a “load more” button http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/dynamic-post-grid/

Cheers

Please provide a label for all the checkbox options in your forked version of WPBakery PageBuilder. There are many, many third-party extensions that you broke overnight by globally changing all checkbox options to ON :: OFF toggle switches without labels. The checkboxes were not toggles when we originally purchased the theme.

The official WPBakery documentation allows an array of checkboxes under a single param, so those need to be labeled in the editor. It’s great that the builder looks nice, but that’s worthless if there are no labels for each and every nested checkbox/toggle. This “feature” dramatically limits the dynamic potential of Salient by cutting off a huge portion of WPBakery’s large third-party plugin contributors.

Hey phvntom,

Thanks for noting this – the next release will include a compatibility fix for that aspect of third party extensions which make use of checkbox arrays. If you’d like to get the fix early, kindly reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Hi.

ANother feature request would be more styles for the menu, especially drop down. (Megamenu), etc.

ALso the capability to add shortcodes.

Thank you for considering.

Hey timtimtim, the next release will be including new menu options :)

Help – I f*cked up :)

Can’t see the editors in backend with these updates. Gutenberg is disabled.

Salient 12.1.3 Salient WPBakery Page Builder 6.4.1 WordPress 5.5.1

Thanks,

Hey pcaron01,

Have you tried to disable third party plugins yet to see if any are causing the issue? If so, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Hello dear ThemeNectar,

When the cart is empty, there is a “return to shop” button. How can we change the link of that button?

Thank you

Hey Jabbarpour,

You can use a WooCommerce filter for that in your child theme functions.php.

Cheers

Hey Omer,

The function which outputs that is called “nectar_page_header” and is located in salient/nectar/helpers/page-header.php

Hi, I’m a developer and a new client has come to me with problems with his website which is built with Salient. It is an old version 8.5.3 and doesn’t work properly since a recent WordPress update. The previous developer has gone out of business, and we can’t trace the license details. So quite happy to buy a new copy of the theme, just want to know if it will be straightforward to update and what would be the best method? Thanks Adrian

Hey onfilm,

The change that was in the beta version I sent you is not a part of the current live release (12.1.6). Can you kindly update to the version I’ve provided via email so that I can take a look at the issue again?

Thanks in advance :)

Hi, thanks for the reply. Is the beta version ok to use with wordpress 5.6 as I have upgraded now. Thanks

Hey onfilm,

Yes, the beta is compatible with WP 5.6.

Hello, I want to make the post pages the same width as the normal pages. How can I adjust that? In the options I can set the width to a maximum of 1000px, but it should go to 1425px.

I would be very grateful for your support!

Greetings from Germany Nenad

Hey Nenad,

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

Hi Theme Nectar,

Mobile Only How to make the secondary header Full Width, Centered and Change the font size ?

Hey maurinoloureiro,

Can you please share your URL so that I can take a look at your current settings to better assist?

Thanks in advance

Is it possible to use a shortcode in the navigation-custom-link? We’re using a currency switcher and I need to place it in the menu, like a menu item. But this plugin only works on shortcodes…

If not, will it work wright with this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-in-menus/

Thanks for your help!

Hey CuracaoExclusive!

As of now it would be easiest to copy the function “nectar_header_button_items” from salient/nectar/helpers/header.php into a child theme to output the shortcode directly. Inside that you can use the WP function do_shortcode to render any shortcode. e.g.

<?php
echo do_shortcode('[your_shortcode]');
?>

Cheers

Would be great to adjust/add more footer columns then 4. Would love to be able to choose 5, 6, 7, 8 columns for footer. Any way to do so? Thanks.

Hey timtimtim, I’ve noted the idea in regards :)

Thank you.

If you’re looking for ideas for the next Salient version, a WC checkout like this would be awesome – https://www.digital-dollar.store/

Hey Sean, thanks for sharing! :)

Hi again,

For the portfolio pages. I have enabled “Single Project Nav Arrows Limited To Same Category” – however the portfolio pages do not loop. Is it possible to please make them loop within the same category?

Hey aglet,

There’s no option to enable a loop in the pagination. It would require custom development to the function “nectar_project_single_controls” in salient-portfolio/includes/frontend/helpers.php

If I like Elementor very much, and I need to use it on my website, don’t you recommend using it with this theme?

Can it get overwhelmed if it’s not optimized for Elementor?

Hey ofmarconi, You can use Elementor if desired, you just won’t be able to use the Salient page builder on those pages and thus not have access to the theme specific elements or templates. Salient would effectively only be handling the header navigation/footer area.

​Hi, i have a problem with videobackgrounds. I want them to be full width, but it doesn’t seem to exist an option for that. My videos are 2400 (width) x 2200 (height) px. So why they are seem to be smaller when i see them on the web??

There are also problems on mobile. The backgrounds are misplaced. I’ve attached images. Thank you!

Additional information: The videos are on the website media.

https://dinamitacreativa.com/

Hey FelipeCarne,

When taking a look at your page URL, i’m only seeing videos placed inside of columns such as here: https://ibb.co/ctz2MW0 If you want a video to be full width, you would need to change the parent row type to be “full width content” and have the video element be in a 1/1 column.

Alternatively you could set the video as a background on the row itself. When using video backgrounds, you need to supply the video in a 16:9 aspect ratio to ensure proper scaling on all devices.

Good day,

[1] Is it possible to have a mute button on any video options you have? So that a user can switch sound on and off a video. Either Nectar / home slider or video background?

[2] For the Off Canvas Menu option with “Dropdown Parent Link Toggles Submenu” – is it possible to have parent menu items have a down chervron/arrow icon?

Hey aglet,

1. Video backgrounds currently do not have the option to use sound as browsers will block the autoplaying of videos which have sound enabled. We recommend using a video lightbox link inside of a row which has the autoplaying video BG to trigger to full video with sound.

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


#slide-out-widget-area .menuwrapper li.menu-item-has-children:after {
   content: "\f107";
   margin-left: 10px;
   font-family: FontAwesome;
}

Thank you, unfortunately the code didnt work? http://urbo.agletonline.co.za/

Hey aglet,

For that style you’ll actually need to modify the snippet slightly:

#slide-out-widget-area li.menu-item-has-children > a:before {
    content: "\f107";
    margin-left: 10px;
    font-family: FontAwesome;
    float: right;
}

​I am trying to get comments to appear on this page https://nawazalamgir.com/free-stuff/expressions/

but nothing is working, i have followed every guide and tutorial. can you assist?

Hey nawaz1983,

Comments are enabled by default on blog posts. I am seeing a facebook comment section at the bottom coming from a plugin on the URL you’ve shared. Are you unable to see that from your end?

If so, are you trying to get the default comment section from WordPress to appear instead?

Thank you for your reply, it was the facebook comment plugin that was taking over the wordpress comment section and thats why i could not see it. thank you for your assistance.

Glad that I could help, nawaz1983 :)
