Hi there, is this theme compatible with bookings plugins, such as WooCommerce Bookings please? Thanks!

Hey ashenn,

I haven’t personally tested with that plugin, but would be glad to assist if you run into any issues :)

Kind regards,

Thank you very much!

You’re welcome, ashenn :)

Hey! I was wondering how to create a drop down menu like the one you use here: https://themenectar.com/salient/ Specifically the menu under “What’s New” with the image + copy overlay. Is there info on how to build the more visual megamenus?

In regards to altering the width of your dropdowns, you can add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:

body .sf-menu >li ul {
    width: 25em;
}

Kind regards,

Perfect, thanks so much!

You’re welcome A_K :)

Hello,

Is it possible to make the secondary header stay on the screen when scrolling? https://britishschool.mc/

Thank you in advance.

Hey MAJMonaco,

1. If you’d prefer to keep the Material skin active, you can add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:

#header-outer.small-nav {
  transform: none!important;
}

2. If you’re referring to making a header navigation link, you can enable the checkbox for that functionality in the screen options tab on the top right: https://ibb.co/pJdvb39

Cheers

thanks perfect

You’re welcome, MAJMonaco :)

Hi. Great theme. However, after doing a demo import all was fine and dandy, but the checkout page and view cart page is missing. I didn’t actually check this until pretty much everything was done. These both go to a 404 error for me.

I then regenerated the pages through woocommerce, but these are generic pages and do not fit the theme at all, so it is a bit of a mess. Doesn’t fit the theme.

Any solutions here?

Hey KenKaiRawr,

1. I’m now not seeing any issues when looking at the cart and checkout pages except for that it seems you’ve set “20%” padding on the cart page column in the page builder settings. That amount of padding is squishing the content inwards and not allowing it enough Space to render correctly. Please edit the cart page and remove that padding to fix the issue.

Can you specify what issues you’re seeing on your checkout vs. the demo?

2. Currently I’m only seeing that you’ve only uploaded one image that is different from the imported content on your landing, and can not see that it’s displaying blurry https://ibb.co/SVTffFJ is that the image you’re referring to?

Hey,

For 1), that is extremely odd! They’re showing up fine now.. I wonder if it’s because I disabled minify CSS? That’s why I added the padding before, because everything was really odd looking. They look fine now.

For 2), sorry I’ve been adding photos and testing constantly here, seeing how to get them looking crisp.

That photo that you linked isn’t actually on the site anymore.

Please check again, I’ve purged caches. They look fine on mobile, but the images just aren’t crisp on desktop.

I took the ones from the demo and put them in photoshop using the exact same dimensions, but when uploaded, they’re blurred still. This is also after using regenerate thumbnails.

Thank you

Hey KenKaiRawr, I’m still not noticing blurred images on your current landing page: https://ibb.co/r0zFLbF However in one instance it appears your provided drone image is not big enough in its base resolution to fill the space of The parallax column here: https://ibb.co/WH9tGcy a larger resolution would need to be provided in that instance to avoid quality loss.

Hey riolec,

You can accomplish that by adding the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:

.tax-project-type .row .col.section-title {
   text-align: center;
}

Kind regards,

Dear Theme Nectar Team, have you planed to release an other woocommerce demo in the next time? Thank you very much. Greetings.

Hey vladknivesschweiz, the next update will not be eCommerce focused, but of course there will be more in the future :)

Kind regards,

solved

Hi, can you please add an option in Salient settings to allow mobile zooming via the meta viewport tag rather than having to manually change the header.php? Would be better not to have to mess with header.php in terms of future updates. We did an accessibility audit on our site and the auditor said this is better for accessibility to change this meta tag to allow zooming and scaling. They also said the main content area of the page should be contained in a <main> or a tag for accessibility reasons as well. Thanks

Hey spaciousmind, you can also reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.

Thank you, I have done so. Any update on when Salient might add < main > tag or < div role = “main” > to main content area of the page? It is talked about here: https://www.w3schools.com/accessibility/accessibility_landmarks.php. Thank you for your replies.

Hey spaciousmind,

I’ve noted to included that in the upcoming release :)

Hi there, for a blog post I can set the width to default (1000px) in salient options. But how can I set the blog width of post content to the same width of the page content?

https://ibb.co/SRYD8qc I want the blog content size same as the page size which is 1425px. I can only set it to default 1000px so have to overwrite it with css.

Thanks Mikel2020,

Yes, when the sidebar is removed from the single post layout there is a maximum width of 1000px enforced on the post content for better readability. It can be altered via CSS – did you need any assistance with a snippet or have you already taken care of that?

Kind regards,

Now using: /* blog page width */ .post-area { max-width:1425px!important; }

Hi.

I’m trying to add some more custom shape dividers. I’ve figured out that I have to edit helpers.php and nectar-addons.php from /plugins/salient-core/includes/ to add them.

In what path should save this in the child theme?

Thanks!

Hey jaclerigo!

You can copy the function “nectar_svg_shape_divider” directly from that file into your child theme functions.php file

Kind regards

Oh! Did not think of that. Thank you!

You’re welcome, jaclerigo :)

Hey Team nectar, why is it not possible to choose the same Iconset like “Iconsmind” within the “Fancy List” or “Text with Icon” Element? Thanks ;-)

Hey Layoutmachen,

Those two elements are legacy elements that were apart of the Salient Shortcodes plugin prior to the introduction of the page builder or Iconsmind being integrated. I’ve noted the idea to add the Iconsmind set to those :)

Cool, thank you :-)

You’re welcome, Layoutmachen :)

Bug found in toggle.php. Unable to change toggle panel titel formats.

In /wp-content/plugins/salient-core/includes/vc_templates/toggle.php on rule 15 change the following:

Before:
echo '<div class="toggle '.esc_attr(strtolower($color)).'" data-inner-wrap="true"><h3><a href="#" class="'.$typography_class.'"><i class="fa fa-plus-circle" />'. wp_kses_post($title) .'</a></h3><div><div class="inner-toggle-wrap">' . do_shortcode($content) . '</div></div></div>';
After:
echo '<div class="toggle '.esc_attr(strtolower($color)).'" data-inner-wrap="true"><'.$heading_tag.'><a href="#" class="'.$typography_class.'"><i class="fa fa-plus-circle" />'. wp_kses_post($title) .'</a></'.$heading_tag.'><div><div class="inner-toggle-wrap">' . do_shortcode($content) . '</div></div></div>';

Hey MM-Admin,

The heading option within toggles currently only inherits the Typography from the selected heading, and does not change the tag itself. If you change the Tag, you might run into a JS issue where the toggle fails to function correctly.

There is an option in the header navigation with the title “To Display In Header ” I can’t find this string to translate it as if it exists for another option such as the legal notice of the footer, how could I do it? I need to create a text with a link to the blog in different languages.

Hey frangarcia2 , we’ll be adding that theme option for WPML in the upcoming release. For now you can add the following to wp-content/themes/salient/wpml-config.xml:
<key name="header-text-widget"/>

It should look like this: https://ibb.co/J3SCgp1

Kind regards,

We absolutely love the Ajax Search in the header. Is there a shortcode we can use to display the search box in a siderbar (i.e. woocommerce side bar)? The default Wordpress search box is terrible in comparison! Thanks

Hey BorisDollar,

Unfortunately that aspect of the theme is not componentized to be called outside of the header at this time. However I’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist :)

Kind regards,

Too bad that such a great theme like that doesn’t support Elementor

Can you provide the best settings for WP Rocket + Salient?

Also can you and your team look into translations with Weglot for translations? WPML and Loco are kinda outdated vs new systems.

Tested speed impacts and Translatepress, WPML and Loco are super slow vs weglot Seems like a weglot guide for your theme would be highly cutting edge and also apply to your theme being so cutting edge aswell.

WP Rocket would be a nice added benefit.

Hey Mittwaffen,

There are no known limitations with WPRocket other than the “Delay javascript execution” setting. When using that, you’ll need to exclude the Salient scripts similar to other WordPress themes/plugins: https://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/1560-delay-javascript-execution-compatibility-exclusions

I’ve noted to look into Weglot further. If you’ve ran into any issues, please post them On the support forum in regards.

Thanks in advance

Good Day

Is there a possibility of adding to cut from home page instead of going through woo commerce e.g clicking a button on the homepage that will add an item to cart.

Hey F5Creative,

You can use the “Add to cart” page builder element to handle that functionality.

Kind regards

Hi there,

Would you kindly assist me? I am currently using “Meta + 3D Parallax on hover” to display my Portfolio items. The image displays as normal and when hovered on, there is a dark opacity applied.

The font is white and with certain featured images, the text is unreadable, when not hovered on, due to the various light colors in the image.

Is there a CSS code I can use to slightly darken the image when not hovered on so the white text is more readable (while retaining the darker on hover)?

(By the way, mobile view looks fine as it appears a slight darkening of the image already exists.)

Thank you very much!

Hey,

That page seems to be using the “Meta overlaid – bottom left aligned” style instead of the parallax one. For that project style, the correct CSS would be:

https://pastebin.com/NPHkzL9m

Ah yes, my apologies. I was looking at the style that was selected in the Salient menu portfolio tab and not the page settings itself. Thank you, that code worked. Much appreciated!

Glad I could help, mhstanton81 :)
