In Contact Form 7, ​I tried duplicating the form to create a new form. It did not work. According to the Contact Form 7 developer, this is usually due to the conflict with a plugin. I deactivated and activated the plugins and figured out that when Salient WPBakery Page builder is activated, the forms cannot be duplicated. Contact Form 7 developer asks the conflicting plugin author to resolve the conflict. Here is a similar issue. I am using Salient version 13.0.5 and Contact Form 7 version 5.4.1

Hey smartersecurity, I’ve noted to look into this conflict and correct it in the next minor release (13.0.6).

Kind regards,

Looking forward to it!

Hi good Nectar people. Wondering if this is just me, but on Chrome my site no longer sits in the centre of the screen, it is to the right, i checked your demos and they are all the same, centred fine in Brave and Safari, just not chrome?

please ignore comment! doh!

Hey CodeDodger, I’m glad you sorted it out :)

Hello, Quite regularly our main shopping page does not show any products. This happens every few days and I am not sure what is causing it. When I then reopen and save the page, the products are back again.

See screenshot: https://snipboard.io/w01Hut.jpg and relevant page: https://www.hardwarewalletonline.nl/winkel/

Would you know what is causing this? There are no issues in google console.

Hey dzineee, that sounds like it could be a caching issue from your hosting or performance plugin. If you’ve already tried to deactivate any caching plugins you may have active, I would contact your host so that they can verify no caching settings from their side could be causing the problem.

Kind regards,

Hello! We have issue with Nectar slider when translating it to Arabic/RTL. So, everything is fine except Headings. When translated with WPML letters in heading are not connected. For the Caption works fine, only Title/Heading is messed up. We use Arabic font, as I said, it’s ok for captions. Any idea how to fix this issue?

Thanks!

Hey robotnjik, the caption and heading are both specified as translatable fields in the same manner for WPML. Have you tried to open a ticket with WPML yet so that they can look over the setup? Salient is a supported theme from WPML, so they should be able to diagnose the issue.

Kind regards,

Hello, actually, I find what is the reason: for titles in Nectar Slider there is some js that animates each letter of the title. That animation breaks Arabic for some reason, cause in Arabic all letters in the word are connected with the line. Maybe this would be helpful for someone who face the same problem.

We switched from Nectar slider to Slider Revolution and make it work.

Hey there—in my WooCommerce store how do I remove “uncategorized” from the filter options? https://jamescarveronline.com/shop/

Currently I remaned it to “Used Gear” but it’s still unable to be deleted and is still considered the default category. Is there a way to hide it or remove it altogether?

Hey JayCarver,

When editing your product categories widget, enable the option titled “Hide empty categories” https://ibb.co/SBrwhQV

Hey ThemeNectar!

Question about toggles. Is there any way to allow for toggles within toggles? So instead of just a simply parent dropdown but a parent dropdown into a child dropdown? Just curious if there’s any way to do that, such as a drill down effect.

Thanks!

Hey lookwhoo :)

Unfortunately toggle and tabbed based elements can’t be nested within themselves in the current version. However, I’ve noted your +1 for the idea of such functionality.

Kind regards,

Okay, thank you.

Hey Phil,

Getting close to finishing my page and was wondering if you could lend a helping hand?

- It seems my product page http://csmurphy.com/rhino-morphogenesis has a different header than the one on my actual home page. Seems like it’s really small and was wondering how I could fix this?

-Also wondering why the secondary background color is showing at the top of the home page header?

-Also how can I make the add to cart button have a different color scheme? I’d love the button’s original state color to be #AA7288 and the hover state to be 98FF01

Hope you’re well,

CS

Hey CSMurphy,

Changing the CSS to the following should correct that: https://pastebin.com/FNiHfYx9

Kind regards,

Still no dice on that on those button colors. When making these kind of changes should they be done in the salient CSS section or done in the row that the cart resides inside WP Bakery Page Builder? It seems I’ve tried both sections.

Hey CSMurphy,

Whoops, I re-read your initial question and can see you were asking about something different than I thought. The CSS I provided changes the cart icon within your header. To alter the add to cart buttons on each product the correct CSS would be:

#ajax-content-wrap .classic .product-wrap a {
    background-color: #AA7288!important;
}
#ajax-content-wrap .classic .product-wrap a:hover {
    background-color: #98FF01!important;
    color: #000;
}

Hello,

I was wondering if you can recommend us a compatible online documentation plugin similar to weDocs​?

The main issue we are having with weDocs or DocsPress (a fork of it) is that it completely lacks any CSS styling when used with Salient.

Hey freschstudio, Unfortunately I don’t have a specific plugin to recommend for creating documentation. Are you experiencing CSS conflicts with weDocs where Salient is overriding their styles or is it that the plugin CSS doesn’t match the styling of your Salient powered site enough? If you could share the URL where I can take a look, I’d be glad to help.

Kind regards,

Hello,

I’ve been heaving issues with images not loading in my woocommerce category pages. I am not sure what is causing this, but I expect an issue with lazyload. are you familiar with this and know a solution?

This is what it looks like: https://snipboard.io/M6hAyS.jpg Sometimes a hard refresh will show it again. And then after a while it will disappear again. If I click ’ show image in tab’ it goes to the link below data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D’http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg’%20viewBox%3D’0%200%20375%20400’%2F%3E

Hey dzineee, can you please share the page URL so that I can take a closer look at the error? The source showing is indeed the default state before lazy loading kicks in, so there’s likely something preventing that from happening.

Kind regards,

Thank you. Please have a look at https://www.hardwarewalletonline.nl/product-categorie/trezor/

I think it is a compatible issue with WP rocket, that also offers LazyLoad. Could it be when I activate lazyload both on Salient; and on WP rocket, that they won’t load?

I now have disabled lazyload on WP rocket and it seems to be working again. In what way does Salient Lazyload these images? Is this part of ” Lazy Load Page Builder Element Images ” ?

Hey dzineee,

Using lazy loading from two different sources will indeed cause issues.You can disable the Salient lazy loading for the shop specifically with the “Lazy Load Shop Images” option in the Salient > WooCommerce tab if you’d like to enable the WPRocket lazy loading again

Cheers

Is there a way to have the text links underlined (within the content of the website) without underlining other things like links on the dropdown, icons etc.?

I tried adding this code in the Custom CSS code area. It underlines the text links but also underlines the icons at the top of the page (search icon, social media icons etc.) and I don’t want this to happen: a { text-decoration: underline; }

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks!

Hey pani0202, The post grid sets a different color for the post link than regular links within text blocks. You can alter the coloring for that element with the following CSS snippet:  https://pastebin.com/iR2cSmAB

Thanks. This will work for now, but the link management in general is all over the place in the theme. There’s no way to set a “global” mousover/mouseout colour scheme in the theme and control how links behave in pages and posts. This should be something to add to a future version :)

Hey pani0202, thanks for the request :)

Hi – the Team Member pop-up feature is no longer working on the website. Can you please advise if there is something I need to do to fix this? Thanks – https://tinyurl.com/yawe224s

Hey erostad,

It looks like your plugin at wp-content/plugins/jquery.fancybox is overriding the functionality and causing the issue. Can you try to disable it temporarily to confirm?

Kind regards,

Thank you!

You’re welcome erostad :)

There’s an issue with the Tabbed element. If you add a css class to a tab it doesn’t save that css class to the li tab element

Hey dscoglio,

The CSS class gets added on the actual tab content div rather than the list item – you’ll need to select the li via a :nth-child selector like so:

.wpb_tabs_nav li:nth-child(2)

Kind regards,

Does the shop filter have an option to add filter by color with actual color badges? thanks

Hey Lacasadelmarketing,

There’s no option for that built into Salient directly, but you can use the free plugin YITH ajax filters to achieve it. That’s the plugin we use for that particular demo.

Kind regards,

Thank you, it was in the demo, so I thought it was built in… Thanks I found the plugin you are using. One more question, is it possible to have the Shop Filters hidden by default instead of visible in the sidebar? Thank you

You’re welcome Lacasadelmarketing,

The option for that is coming in the next minor release. If you’d like immediate access, please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.

Cheers

Hi—I just setup WooCommerce on my website and notice I am not able to access the WPBakery Page Builder in order to use the Salient templates to create product pages. What am I supposed to do?

Currently my store setup is pretty basic https://jamescarveronline.com/shop/

I’m trying to design my store more like one of your demos (eCommerce Robust) but not sure where to go to make the design changes?

Glad I could help JayCarver :)

Those options are available in the Salient options panel > WooCommerce tab: https://ibb.co/y0Z12B2 https://ibb.co/svxXJJF

After you’ve set up the archive page header settings, you can add images for each category in the WooCommerce > Categories section by editing a category and sing the “Category Header Image” field

Cheers

This is great, but how do I edit the header for the main store page as well? It is not listed within the categories section.

Also I noticed that the breadcrumb for mine does not take a user back to the main store section. It goes from the homepage of the website to the categories. On your demo the user is able to navigate back to the store level from any given product or category. Is there a setting to adjust this?

Hey JayCarver,

1. The page assigned as the shop page within the WooCommerce settings can use the “Page header” metabox to assign the desired image: https://ibb.co/qppGNsw

2. The default WooCommerce functionality for breadcrumbs is to have a “Home” link which leads to the front page of your site, and then show the category/subcategories next. The latest ecommerce demo has a parent category or Skincare, with subcategories inside of that

Hi, does your theme support Google Analytics 4 integration or just Ga3?

Hey solveweb,

GA4 should work – have you run into any issues when integrating?

Kind regards,

Hey! Will this theme work with Dokan Multi-vendor plugin?

Hey 7atrick!

I haven’t personally tested with that plugin, but if you run into any issues just let us know so that we can assist.

Cheers

Hello! Is it possible to set a video file as a featured image for portfolio item?

Hey mserge,

Unfortunately, there’s no option for that as of now, however, if you can supply an animated .gif file via the “custom thumbnail”: https://ibb.co/GtCQV07

Kind regards,

Hi there, I’m wondering where I can translate some woocommerce strings. I’m using the Say What plugin and it’s about these strings: “Go to shop” and “Quantity”. It didn’t work with either ‘salient’ or ‘woocommerce’ inside the ‘domain’ section. Hope you can help me.

Hey Abbenhues,

The Go to shop should be in the salient text-domain – could you please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page with temporary admin access so that I can take a closer look?

The Quantity currently has the colon and extra space included as part of the string, so that would need to be entered as “Quantity: ” when translating.

Kind regards,

Hi is it possible to change the inner height of my blog columns on this page: https://debetekenaar.kleidi.nl/blog/. F.e. I would like to have the part where the image is a little less higher and that also counts for the part where my title and date is visible. Would that be possible?

Hey Abbenhues,

You can alter the height of the images in that element to be smaller by adding: https://pastebin.com/7tVKyDJY

Kind regards,

Hello I am interested in your theme. I like this demo http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-wellness/ but i am creating a store. Can i mix and import full pages from other demos? can i transform this demo into a shop? or do i need to import a demo shop? i would like to know this info before purchasing. Thanks

Hey jasmdesign,

You can indeed add WooCommerce functionality to that demo. There is no option to import specific pages from demos, but you can certainly import two demos and then use what you desire. We also offer a template library made up of “sections” rather than pages which makes it easy to add certain rows from the various demos on any page: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/

Cheers

Thanks, what hosting do you recommend to have the best performance with your theme?

Hey jasmdesign,

We don’t have any affiliation with specific hosting companies but in general, WPengine and cloudways are reputable providers with solid performance.

Kind regards,
