Hi, is Salient compatible with PHP 8.0?
Hey Foodstijl!
Not yet – the upcoming minor release will be adding compatibility. If you’d like to get early access, please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.
Thanks in advance
oh no problem, I’ll update to php 8 when Salient is ready. thanks for letting me know
Hi I need help.
Please tell me how to put the “title element” (title=”“) in the prev and next button of the link tag of the “Nectar Slider”. Because I am modifying the source regarding web accessibility.
Hey mummy0217,
In order to modify the output of the next/prev Nectar Slider buttons you’ll need to copy the “nectar_slider_display” function into a child theme from wp-content/plugins/salient-nectar-slider/includes/frontend/helpers.php
Kind regards,
Let me know the details. please
Hey mummy0217,
If you run a search for the text “slider-prev” and “slider-next”, you’ll end up exactly at the anchor tags you’re looking to modify within that function.
Hey there. I was curious to know if it was possible to do a background image for a button. Thanks
Hey streetjen,
You could add a class name to your button e.g. “custom-button-bg” using the extra class name field when editing your button. And then add this into the custom CSS box in the Salient options panel > General settings > CSS/Script related tab:
.custom-button-bg {
background-image: url(YOUR-IMG.jpg);
background-size: cover;
}
Cheers
Oh very cool. Thank so much for the help!
Thanks so much. 
Hey I was wondering – is there a way to adjust the margin space and padding in the footer… or how tall it is? Mine seems bigger than I’d like. Thanks
Hey
Can you kindly share your page URL in regards so that I can take a look at your settings to assist?
Cheers
I can’t it’s locally using a program called Local. when it goes live I’ll get back to you. Thanks
You’re welcome, streetjen
I have a row and a text block in it. I put a custom class for the text block and put this CSS in the page custom css setting:
.custom-class-name {
font-size: 10px;
}
but it’s not working. But when I put the same CSS in the theme options under General Settings > CSS/Script Related, it works. Why?
Hey dzulfriday,
The CSS should still function when added to the page builder custom CSS box. Can you kindly share the page URL where it’s not taking effect so that I can take a look?
Thanks,
So do you want me to put back the css to the page custom css?
Hey dzulfriday, yes – if you can share the page URL with the CSS added to the page rather than the options panel I’d be glad to take a look.
Ok done, I just want to resize the footer font. That’s all – https://bit.ly/3i2bRLS
Thanks dzulfriday,
It looks like there’s an issue with the WPBakery custom CSS box when used inside of a global section for the front page. Other pages seem to render it normally e.g. https://bysara.my/product-category/abaya/
I’ve noted to investigate this further for the upcoming minor release.
Hi Since the update of Woocommerce and Salient I have been getting crash errors “There has been a critical error on this website” It doesnt seem to work with the new woocommerce. Is this something you have recieved feedback on? Its happening on two of my sites.
Hey 7atrick,
I have not been able to replicate any errors with WooCommerce 5.5 from my end. Where does the error occur and have you tried to disable any third-party plugins from your setup to verify none are causing the issue?
Hello. How can i change Arrows background color from white to another color? (Image Gallery type – Flickity Static Height Style)
Hey khj_iden,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body .nectar-flickity[data-controls*=arrows_overlaid] .flickity-prev-next-button:before {
background-color: #f00;
}
Cheers
it working. Thanks!
Thanks!
You’re welcome, khj_iden
Hi there, is there a form plugin that you would recommend to use with this theme?
Hey vickap1,
Salient provides general form styling which will work with most form plugins so you’re not limited to any specific one. For a free plugin, we use Contact Form 7 on the demos. For a premium form plugin, many users opt to use Gravity forms.
Cheers
Thanks!
You’re welcome vickap1
Hey Nectar, hope you are well. I have two separate issues that I really need help with on this site with Salient – https://www.ksi-uv.com/
1. Is it possible within Salient to use the search as a shortcode on a single page to search only for documents? How would I achieve this?
2. Another big issue is after migrating the site over I forgot a simple but crucial button shortcode that has a unique product sheet for download on almost every single product, of which there are over 50.
Here is one URL as an example – https://www.ksi-uv.com/product/purex-800i-2-tier-digital-fume-extractor-120v-080503d/
To shorten the workload I was thinking I could use a PHP string search and replacer rule to change the wording of the shortcode to match a simple nectar button – [otw_shortcode_button -> nectar shortcode which I think should work fine but one last barrier is that in the relative pathway there is an extra “productsheets” folder that was used in the original site ( /wp-content/uploads/productsheets/800i-2-Tier-2019.pdf ) that will not match if I upload it the regular media file.
Should I create a sub folder inside the uploads FTP file called product sheets and then load everything into that?
I am trying to avoid having to change everything one by one.
I’ve created a ticket with login credentials if necessary. I apologize for the length. I’d appreciate any help.
Hey Louis, I’ve responded on the support forum in regards.
Cheers
Hi, just curious if you can provide any insight to the future of Salient? What kind of features can we expect going forward?
Hey mrittman,
A focus on performance, increased flexibility and new demos is the general overview for this year. There will be a minor release
out within the next 1-2 weeks which will include another round of performance optimization as well as new options for various elements.
If you’d like further details, please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards
Cheers
Oh very cool! Thanks so much for the update
You’re welcome mrittman
Hi there, I am creating a price table with some custom CSS. Only this one causes some trouble: ‘body.pricing-column ul li’. Impossible to change the font-size of this one. Also tried something like ’.pricing-table .pricing-column .pricing-column-content ul li’ without any luck. Hope you can provide me with the right selector…
hi there, found it. Topic closed
Hey Mikel2020,
I’m glad you found what you were looking for
Cheers
how can i use this theme muti domains ? please answer me quiklly as soon you can . thanks
Hey Moustaf_nafeer,
All ThemeForest themes are licensed to allow a theme to be used once per unique domain. You can use the same theme license for subdomains, but a new license must be purchased for separate domains.
Kind regards,
We’re having a problem with the navigation menu not showing up properly occasionally on the homepage. When the site loads, sometimes the navigation menu appears jumbled on desktop. The menu tabs appear overlapping the logo. It seems like a technical glitch with the theme. Any idea on how we can fix this?
Hey 4THPARK, I would need to take a look at your page in order to assist with troubleshooting that. Can you kindly share your URL?
Sure. It’s https://oneracemovement.com
Thanks 4THPARK,
I haven’t seen the issue occur yet, but you could try to add the following into the custom CSS box in the Salient options panel > General settings > CSS/Script related tab:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
#header-outer .span_3 #logo img {
min-width: 197px;
}
}
The snippet should correct the problem if it’s related to any delay in the logo loading due to performance optimization plugins.
Kind regards,
Thank you so much! We’ve added it and will let you know if we have any other issues with it.
You’re welcome 4THPARK
Hi there, got the next error visiting the sitemap page: error on line 6 at column 6: XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document…
When I go to theme > select salient its working fine. When I select child theme I see the error. Searching online they say you have to remove space from functions.php. Won’t help. Child theme only has a functions file and stylesheet cc file. Any idea what this can be?
Hey Mikel2020, I can’t replicate that issue locally when using a child theme. Can you share a screenshot of your functions.php file contents from your child theme?
Kind regards,
sorry for the above message. This is a screenshot: https://snipboard.io/3IeL78.jpg
Hey Mikel2020,
Try to delete the closing php tag at the bottom – if there’s any excess whitespace after that, it could cause the problem. Removing the closing tag will ensure that’s not the case. https://ibb.co/CmzRFbx
Nice one. It works now.
How can I change the font used on post heading – https://www.mamaincstudio.com/holly-anthony/
Hey MarcGarner,
You can change that in the Salient options > typography > navigation & page header tab with the “Page Heading Font” field.
Kind regards,
Hi! We´re building a ste in Spanish but we have some trouble with a couple of translations. In the Car (off canvas right side) the words “Cart” and “Go to Shop” are not being translated althought the translation is completed in the theme and woocommerce .mo files. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!!!
Hey vivraestudio, are you using the latest release of the theme (13.0.5)? If so, please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.
Thanks in advance
Hi! Thanks, yes, we´re using the last version of the theme. I sent you a message via the form. Thanks in advance.
Thanks vivraestudio
Hi, I have a problem with the mobile version. The slide button (Nectar Slider) doesn’t work.
Please, help me.
Thanks
Hey MarlonMk7,
Please share your page URL where the issue can be observed so that I can assist.
Kind regards,
Are there any current issues with the Visual Composer? I just get a spinning icon when I try to edit any text block.
Hey superhealth,
There are no known issues that would cause the Salient WPBakery page builder to not load element settings. Have you verified that you’re using an updated version of the page builder (6.6) and that no other third-party plugins you may have active are causing the issue? If so, please reach out via the contact form on my author page with temporary admin access so that I can take a closer look.
Thanks in advance
Looking to get another license for a client, but they want to know if I can make a YouTube video background on Mobile. Is this possible/allowed using the Salient Tools?
Hey unionfoundry,
YouTube video backgrounds can not autoplay on mobile devices – you would need to use the self-hosted (mp4) instead for that functionality.
Kind regards,
Hi there,
My store has variable products and when I dropdown the menu to select a product it says “Searching…” and then pulls up the variations after a little wait. Is there a way to disable this? I haven’t seen this on any other themes other than this one.
The following error is present in the console
select2.full.min.js?ver=4.0.3:8 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘trim’ of undefined
The following error is present in the console
“Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘trim’ of undefined”
Hey MacGyverConsult,
Have you verified that no other third-party plugins you may have active is causing the issue? If so, please share the website URL so that I can take a look.
Kind regards,
Hi there,
I’m not running any additional third-party plugins – I’m only running what’s included in the Skincare demo.
https://cbdhb.wpengine.com/Hey MacGyverConsult, Are you referring to the front-end product variation dropdowns such as this https://ibb.co/kHMVQcc or something in the admin side?
Hey Salients,
I am using WP Rocket. Question:
What about salients own options concerning Force Dynamic CSS to Inline In Head & Performance? Switch on or off, by using caching plugins?
Thx again!
Hey born-design,
You only need to enable that option if you’re noticing that theme option changes are not being reflected on your front-end. (Enabling it will prevent the dynamic CSS from being cached)
Kind regards,
