​Hello

I’m experiencing very slow loading when using the Salient Image Gallery.

The site is very simple, but does have quite a number of images per page.

These images have been sized correctly and compressed.

I am also using cloudflare and WP Rocket so the site is optimized to my best understanding.

What ever I try the gallery on each page (particularly the home gallery) takes way over 10 seconds to load.

Please could you take a look at it for me as I am fresh out of ideas.

Thanks

Hey alexbirks, so far I haven’t been able to replicate that from my side: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/alexandrawallace.co.uk/gHBkbDIu/ Is it occurring for you every time to try to load the page?

The image grid gallery style requires all of the images to load before creating the masonry display. In general, you can increase the loading speed of it by enabling the “Lazy load” option for the image loading field. However, that will disable the masonry layout and default back to a regular column layout.

Hello guys On mobile the add to cart button is not showing up.

How can I make it show up on mobile too? So that the user does not have to open separate product page every time.

Thank you!

hi guys, i tried this way but add to cart button is not visible at all. you can see on this staging link: https://visitfoligno.it/eremo/home/ what am I doing wrong?

ok, now i have the solution! Thank you very much

Glad I could help plasmedia :)

Hi Themenectar… In the Salient panel, I unwittingly Reset de Nectar-specific Typography settings and lost all the styling….how can I go back?! Please help me!! Thank you

Hey anagcan, I’m sorry to hear that!

Unfortunately since the theme options are stored within your database, the only way to recover that would be to restore a backup from your hosting company. Assuming you have not exported a copy of your theme options from the import/export tab within the Salient options panel.

Kind regards

Hi there,

I was just wondering if there’s any new demo’s to be released soon. I am hoping for a new style of blogging / magazine type of demo as well as some more creative options regarding the header.

I’d love to know / test!

Hey justinwust!

V13 just released many new header options and a megamenu builder – the next release is due out within 1-2 weeks and won’t contain a new demo. However, there will be more demos out this summer :)

Kind regards,

I’ve noticed an issue where tables get clipped on mobile. Is there a fix for this? Example is: https://onetrackmind.bike/new-cannondale-jekyll-2021/#jekyll-1 when viewed on mobile. Fine on desktop

Hey will_brett,

You can change that by adding this into the custom CSS box in the Salient options panel > General settings > CSS/Script related tab:

@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
.main-content .post tr td {
    font-size: 11px;
    line-height: 1.5;
}
}

Kind regards,

Great! Thanks so much!

You’re welcome will_brett :)

Which is the best plugin to achieve this type of Wishlist ? https://ibb.co/1KdQfDC in shopping page on the product and https://ibb.co/W0Mnmjc for individual product page 1.YITH WooCommerce Wishlist 2.TI WooCommerce Wishlist 3.WPC Smart Wishlist for WooCommerce

Please let me know a the code to achieve this. A. Wishlist on all product like quickview B. Wishlist on all individual product page C. Wishlist on HEADER like cart showing number of products

Hey hotpop,

We don’t have any specific recommendations for those plugins. Unfortunately, since the wishlist is not something integrated to Salient, we also do not have any code snippets to handle that integration. I’ve noted your +1 for the idea though :)

I am trying to filter searches by post type. If I add &post_type=post to the end of the query string in the url it shows only blog posts. The same doesnt work with &post_type=page to show pages, this returns all portfolio, posts, and pages.

I found a comment here about adding a filter to pre_get_posts, but it still won’t show only pages. How do I show only pages?

Hi ThemeNectar,

Thanks for the reply, I had found that code snippet that you had shared with someone else previously, and it works to limit the search to only page post types for ALL searches.

Is there a way to make the query parameter work so I could add a button to the search page that adds query parameters to filter search results that are currently (all posts, pages, and portfolio items) to just one (post OR page OR portfolio) through the query parameter?

function searchfilter($query) {
    $post_type = get_query_var('post_type');
    if ($query->is_main_query() && $query->is_search && !is_admin() && !empty($post_type) ) {
        if ($post_type == 'post') {
            $query->set('post_type', 'post');
        } elseif ($post_type == 'portfolio') {
            $query->set('post_type', 'portfolio');
        } elseif ($post_type == 'page') {
            $query->set('post_type', 'page');
        }
    }
    return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts','searchfilter');

Appending the default search URL with &post_type=post or &post_type=portfolio works to show only the specified post type, but &post_type=page returns all post types.

I figured it, but I will put it here for anyone else. The page post type in wordpress is set to publicly_queryable=false by default.

Changing this corrected it.
function fix_page_query() {
    if ( post_type_exists( 'page' ) ) {
        global $wp_post_types;
        $wp_post_types['page']->publicly_queryable = true;
    }
}
add_action( 'init', 'fix_page_query', 1 );

Thanks again for your help.

Hey FightTheNewDrug, thanks for posting your solution for anyone else who may come across it :)

Hello, is it possible to create a column with a colored border and when hover change the color and hide the border? Thanks

Thanks violeta2607,

Add this into the custom CSS box in the Salient options panel > General settings > CSS/Script related tab:

https://pastebin.com/4KkVi1mx

Thanks you. Regards :)

You’re welcome violeta2607 :)

Hi there, found this page http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/performance-optimization-guide/ Is this page still up2date or do you recommend any other optimizer?

Hey Mikel2020,

W3 Total Cache is still a popular performance plugin that we use on the live demos. However, we’ll also be updating that documentation page in the near future after the next update with further tips.

Kind regards,

Hello I would like to insert a depth in this layout that I am attaching how can I do? and would it be possible to have the code so I insert it if it is not a problem? https://ibb.co/WD22C9c

Hey danieleliotta,

Can you please elaborate further on what you mean by “depth”? If you can provide a mockup screenshot that would be helpful as well.

Kind regards,

Hello I mean a box-shadow not only in the hover but also present without hover. https://ibb.co/3WfQCX8

Hey danieleliotta, You can add the following CSS into your custom CSS box for that:
.nectar-post-grid[data-shadow-hover=yes] .nectar-post-grid-item:after {
    opacity: 1;
}

Hello

1. Is there is way i can change the dimension size of ‘add to card’ And Quantity button(like more sharp and sleek) ? https://ibb.co/N3CNxhP

2. I want to remove this https://ibb.co/QmS1HpZ

3. How to Change from this https://ibb.co/Ws8KDZr to https://ibb.co/M2LbZ8x

4. Is there a Wishlist option ? If so how to enable it and add to header

5. How to Activate the share button in product page ? Its Visible transparent https://ibb.co/R98Scpn but wen i move my cursor on it, it disappears https://ibb.co/LnBKLCr

6. I would like to give a special Discount for my subscribers. which will have a special shopping page (Dark Themed & applied discount). Is there a way i can do it already with the available resources or i need to install new plugins ? If so Kindly suggest me related plugins

Hey hotpop,

1. The button roundness for all of your site buttons will change relative to the Salient options > general settings > Button Styling field. If you’re trying to alter the size, please provide an example of what you’re trying to achieve.

2. Add this into the CSS box:

body .nectar-shop-header .nectar-shop-header-bottom .woocommerce-result-count {
 display: none;
}

3. In the Salient options panel > WooCommerce > general tab, change the “Minimal Product Hover Layout” to “Price hidden, minimal buttons”

4. There is no wishlist built into the theme at this time

5. In the WordPress customizer, can you verify that you have the options for your desired social sites selected to display? http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-social-plugin/

6. You would need to use a plugin to offer that functionality: https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-discount-rules/

Additional CSS would likely be needed through custom development to also change the theme settings to dark conditionally.

When you have multiple questions, please post them to the support forum in the future as this section is supposed to be for quick questions/pre-sale inquiries.

Cheers

Love you guys !! I was breaking my head to solve things and you solved it in no time !! Best satisfied purchase ive made ever

Glad I could help, hotpop :)

Hello, I think I turn it off anywhere I could but I can still see dates under the posts. https://cyklopedia.cc/blog/ how I could fix it?

Hey Fixedman,

If you’re using the blog page builder element, you’ll also need to enable the option within the element itself: https://ibb.co/VJ2DJGY

Works perfect, thank you!

You’re welcome, Fixedman :)

Hi, I’m surprise to NOT find in the feature list multiple form options for newsletter, contact boxes, signup forms etc , this is such an amazing theme, and missing such a crucial element that 99% of websites need!

Can you point me to resources or links for the different options of achieving mailchimp form inline insertion, aand also pretty contact forms?

Hey bperd,

Salient provides styling for form elements that will apply to third-party forms. You can also fine-tune the form styling in the Salient options panel > form styling tab. We use Contact form 7 on the demos – you see the inline form column classes here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/contact-form-columns/

Cheers

Hello I need to know how to create the menu with buttons, but with gradients, I need to know how I can do it..could I have an example ?

Hey danieleliottam

You would need to give each menu item a class name and then create rules separately like so:

#top nav > ul > li[class*="button_solid_color"].custom-color-1 > a {
    background: linear-gradient(45deg, #2e84ff, #ff1919);
}
#top nav > ul > li[class*="button_solid_color"].custom-color-2 > a {
    background: linear-gradient(45deg, #000000, #555555);
}

hello i applied the code in the child theme also put the reference class in the menu item, it does not work. I also have to realize the same thing for the sub menu but with the background of each menu with a different color

Hey danieleliotta,

If you’re not using the menu as a button styling, you’ll need to alter the CSS rule to be as follows:

#top nav > ul > li.custom-color-1  {
    background: linear-gradient(45deg, #2e84ff, #ff1919);
}

Hi, would it be possible with css to give images a certain height and width so when uploading a new image which is not in the same dimensions it automatically crops to a certain width/height?

Hey Abbenhues,

Not in the current release, but the next minor release will add an option for that to the “Single image” page builder element. If you’d like immediate access, please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.

Thanks in advance

Hi, I am using your theme, it is really good.

But I am facing one problem that is about to backward content in search field. On the home page – Search Box Text is Backwards.

I am using latest version of WordPress – 5.7.2 And using theme version is – 8.0.15

I need your help, need to solve as soon as possible. OR let me know if I need to edit in any file so that I can do it from here.

Thanks Navdeep

Hey navdeepgupta, I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying it :)

You’ll need to upgrade Salient in order to correct the issue without having to manually edit the main theme JavaScript file. http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/

Since you’re using an older version, it would also be worth reading through the following article: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/important-salient-update-for-new-envato-requirements/

Cheers

Hi Team,

Thanks for your reply. My website is developed by our old developer and now he is no more with our organization. And don’t have access the Nectar theme account. so we can’t update the the theme anymore.

I hope, you understand my problem. Need to solve this as soon as possible.

So, please guide me how to do this manually?

Thanks Navdeep

Hey navdeepgupta,

There’s no easy way I can describe how to patch the function within the theme Javascript here within the comments. Please reach out via the contact form on my author page with your license details and I can provide the latest version.

Cheers

Hello ThemeNectar Support team, By any chance does your company also set up sites meaning build them for your customer too? If you do can you please send me the link so I can look into the process. Still the best theme online, N I have uses it for over 4 years now. still love it. Wish you the best guys. Thank you for such a awesome product!

Hey Richardrivera, thanks so much!

Unfortunately we don’t offer that at this time, but it’s something we’re looking into :)

Kind regards,

Hi, I’ve set up the toggles as suggested in your feedback. Is there a way to load all the toggles closed (which I can achieve presently) but link to the content within a toggle so that the toggle opens when you click on the link.

ie. Content on toggle 4 scrolls back up to toggle 1 and opens it.

thank you

Hey tricks28,

You can link to open a toggle from an external page, but you can not create a link on the same page which will cause the toggle to open (without reloading the page itself).

The format to link to a toggle would be to add the following to a URL:

?toggle=toggle-name-lowercase

you can combine that with an anchor to scroll to the parent row where the toggle exists:

full example:

Hi I am having some issues with the latest ecommerce demo – 1) how do i change the logo? It seems like can only input text. 2) Where do i see the privacy policy, shipping policy etc?

Hey morteen,

1. In the Salient options panel > header navigation tab, you can enable the option “Use Image for Logo”. The logo upload fields will then become active within the Logo & general styling tab, as well as the “Transparent header effect tab”.

2. Please see the following reference in regards to configuring that within WooCommerce

Cheers

thanks for your help. I have one more question: how do we remove the wordings under the product categories in the header navigation?

Hey morteen,

Ensure that you have the “description” field enabled in your screen options in the menus page: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/menu-options-1536x590.jpg

With that enabled, you’ll see the description text appear for editing under the menu navigation label when expanding a link.

Cheers

HI Hep me how can i add quantity increment on archive page (shop page) ?

Hey Dilik, WooCommerce doesn’t offer a quantity selection option for the archive pages. Adding that in would require some customization through a child theme: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/override-loop-template-and-show-quantities-next-to-add-to-cart-buttons/

Kind regards,

Thanx! The qnty buttons appeared but the “Add to cart” button does not work https://kinoobed.ru/shop/ Check it please!

Hey Dilik,

You’ll need to disable the option labeled “AJAX Product Template Add to Cart” in the Salient options panel > woocommerce > general tab in order to use the custom add to cart with quantity on the archive pages.
