Is it viable to use Salient WooCommerce elements to create a shop and not use the default “shop” page? Are there any potential problems with this? Thanks for any pointers.

Hey velocity_uk,

You can use the page builder elements to create a main shop page. WooCommerce will automatically generate your shop pages for the archives I.e. product categories/tags etc.

Kind regards,

Hi the website is pretty slow with the new theme i see that google recomend to remove/hide some JS code. for example this one: …1_E1Jb45w…/recaptcha__en.js(www.gstatic.com) How can i do it?

Hey gloazzo, The script that you’ve pasted is not a part of Salient, but rather coming from a plugin that you have active which is using the recapchta functionality.

If you’d like to share the URL I’d be glad to let you know which plugin is requesting that.

Hey gloazzo,

The Google fonts are only one of the few on the third party list: https://ibb.co/TLD7WVz

All fonts will be render blocking by default, but you can delay their loading to remove that warning by using the autoptimize plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/

The offer a setting to handle that: https://ibb.co/MMzmtNF

Hi, seeking some guidance lol,

Ok, so I’ve opted to use a vertical logo which has made the menu move downwards. Is there a way to have the logo flow downwards without carrying the entire menu bar?

Also, after I switched from wide to tall logo, the logo stopped displaying on the other pages? I trust you’ll know how to help me out.. Thanks

https://bit.ly/5rj­V5TV9

Hey kelvinski254 :)

1. If you’d prefer to have the logo centered between the menu items to keep them on the same horizontal level, you can switch to the “centered logo menu” header layout in the Salient options > header navigation > layout & content related tab: https://ibb.co/jhtqMM0

2. The pages “News” and “Our Teas” do not have the transparent header effect active, and thus won’t be using that logo. You’ll need to upload a dark version of the logo to the regular logo upload field here: https://ibb.co/Dp8B2rM

Kind regards,

You’re a star thanks

Glad I could help, kelvinski254 :)

Hello! There’s something I’m trying to figure out… In my website below, something is making the BG scale up and pixlelate, how do i fix please?

https://redrice.ca/kamengonew/

Thanks for clarifying neilgalang,

The row BG will stretch to fill the row it’s added to, and your row is much taller than the image itself which is causing the stretching. You can remove your BG image and instead make use of the row shape divider settings to accomplish that design: https://ibb.co/NWSdtdg

Kind regards,

Hi Yes I have tried this route and it does not work with Boxed site layout. Can you give me proper measurements for the BG or CSS to not scale it?

Hey neilgalang, you can constrain the width of the shape dividers to remain inside of the content area with the following CSS:
#ajax-content-wrap .nectar-shape-divider-wrap {
    margin-left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    left: 0;
}

I would not recommending using an image for this as it’s worse for performance and the image would need to be quote large to fill your row.

Hey, does the anchor tag not work (#row name) if you have full screen rows activated? Thanks Jen

Hey Jen,

You can still use anchor links, but you’ll need to enable the “Add Row Anchors to URL” option within the Fullscreen rows settings: https://ibb.co/8dPQnX8

Kind regards,

Thank you. Yes I have that turned on. But when I use it… when it goes to that page and to that anchor, it positions the row to where it’s half way between rows and it messes everything up. I have also found in the past that with this theme, using anchors in general… it doesn’t take you to the top of that row, it’s goes further down the page. The way I have worked around that in the past is to add an empty row above the row and put the anchor there. That has worked for me. But obviously I can’t do that with the full screen rows. I really wish the settings for however the anchor is programmed in the theme to be changed. If I use an anchor I want the top of that row to be showing up at the top of the page right under the header. Let me know if you don’t know what I’m saying here and I can give you a screenshot. Thanks

OK it must have been a glitch because it’s working now. Thanks

Hello,

I just noticed that the icons added in the secondary navigation (and also on footer) are not showing after updating the theme.

As an example, I have this on the widgets https://i.imgur.com/TeeNNUZ.png but only the text is displaying on the front end, not the marker icon.

Any help?

Thank you

I also have this on custom CSS: https://i.imgur.com/2sNpGAx.png

Hey josephhh, You’ll need to update your class names to using the following format:

fa fa-map-marker

It’s worth noting that Salient now provides a suite of menu options which will allow you to add icons next to menu items without any coding as well: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-menu-options/

Kind regards,

Hi. Can I make the main header photos in all blog posts taller? https://mypinerary.com/mypinerary-folly-beach-south-carolina/ So that the top and bottom of the photo show more (Not cut off)?

Hey piranhacreative, In the Salient options panel > blog tab, you can set the “Blog Header Sizing” sizing to “responsive” to allow the height to expand taller.

Kind regards,

Hi, I am checking the Salient Welness demo, but why the YT video bg in the header is not playing on mobile? And how can I activate this?

Hey Mikel2020, YouTube does not allow for autoplaying videos on mobile devices – you’ll need to switch to using a self hosted source (mp4/webm) if you need mobile playback.

Kind regards,

ai, good to know and thx :)

You’re welcome, Mikel2020 :)

Hello,

the blog post is limited in width – how can I make it full screen?

shorturl.at/tzALZ

Thank you in advance

shorturl.at/ilrwM

Hey vik_,

Can you verify that you have the option enabled for “Hide Sidebar on Single Post” in the Salient options > Blog tab?

If you already do, can you please reach out privately with your live site URL as the shorter is not not leading to the site.

Kind regards.

FEEDBACK :grin:

  • Column ID – not working
  • Single Image Default CSS Animation to none
  • Footer column margins are not the same to Page Builder
  • Button option to add rel=”noopener” for external links
  • Custom column size `.vc_col-md-6` (2 columns when on iPad/Tablet) has no CSS code
  • “Begin Installing the Required Plugins” must be opened in the same tab. Pretty much annoying when doing this to many websites
  • Text Block should be first in the list under the “Content” tab
  • Auto-P or Auto Paragraph not working on: Icon List (element) -> List Item -> Content Type: Text + HTML -> Text Content (HTML Enabled)

Hey djmalibiran, Thanks for your feedback/requests. I’ve noted these items for the upcoming major release, due out next month.

A couple of points:

Column ID – not working: There is no field for adding an ID to a column within the page builder currently. You can only specify a custom class name – are you trying to manually add an id attribute to the column via the classic editor view?

Custom column size `.vc_col-md-6` (2 columns when on iPad/Tablet) has no CSS code: BY default, all columns will collapse to full width on mobile, but you can set a custom size via the responsive options tab within the column settings. You can’t specify the column width for the tablet viewport directly, but you can set it to inherit from your desktop size by using the following option: https://ibb.co/Kwdgsqw

Kind regards,

Column ID – I thought I’ve seen it like in ~v12 or something. Anyway, it will be good to have it. When viewing the site on mobile, it’s very useful for anchor link in 2nd column.

Please see the following:

Thanks!

Thanks for clarifying djmalibiran :)

In the meantime you can also use a nested row within a column to add the ID if needed.

Kind regards,

WPBakery Page Builder 6.7 broke after updating to Wordpress 6.0. Not able to use it in post or page editing.

Hey Fixedman,

We’ll be releasing an update tomorrow to include the fix for this – In the meantime, you can correct the conflict by adding the following snippet to your child theme functions.php file:

https://pastebin.com/SLG01niL

Kind regards,

Hello, it’s not helping.

Please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards so that I can take a closer look at what’s occurring in your setup.

Thanks in advance

Hi there, I can’t seem to get past this critical error. Installing WooCommerce always breaks the theme’s styling, the checkout/cart spills into the header nav. I’ve tried changing to several versions of PHP, no plugins installed besides the required ones for the theme (and woocommerce), everything is up to date. Tried this across 2 seperate servers and same issue on both. Any ideas? https://u.cubeupload.com/imgoodthanks/websitename.png

Hey,

If that option corrected the issue, it sounds like your dynamic stylesheet is unable to be written to by your server. I would verify that wp-content/themes/salient/css/salient-dynamic-styles.css is writeable.

You can also keep that option enabled for the meantime. The dynamic CSS simply won’t be able to get cached, but it’s a moderately small amount of CSS.

Kind regards

Thank you, you’re right! it was the folder permissions. I hadn’t thought to check that, genius. Also you’re right, performance difference is not perceptible (running on openlitespeed on a VPS.) After enabling this option, not only has the menu been fixed but now I also have quick view on products, and my buttons are the correct colour, a few minor layout issues now also disappeared and everything is working as expected. By the way thank you for the insanely fast response

I’m glad that I could help :)

Cheers

hi just wondering how easy is it to update the theme?

Hey e3templates,

You can update the theme by using any of the methods described in the documentation here: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/

Kind regards,

Hello!

I hope that you all are ok!

I was wondering, and this for the sake of speeding up the installation of Salient (especially plugins), if it was possible to activate as soon as the plugins are installed? For the moment, we must install them and then activate them. However, if they are installed, it is to possibly activate them. This would allow us to skip this step (the activation).

Do you think that’s a good idea?

No problem barreoblique, yes – the next update will be bringing many new features and a demo :)

Kind regards,

I am pleased to work with you and your theme. Your team is fantastic, your theme is exactly what I need. And you have a vision of the web that is very similar to mine. Simple designs (but not simplistic!) of formidable efficiency, where the messages are transmitted in a clear and limpid way.

Maybe we don’t tell you this often enough, but knowing that the product we buy has a long shelf life and is backed by top-notch technical support is very reassuring for a company like mine. . Thanks!

I think you nailed that description, barreoblique – definitely like-minded! :)

Thanks so much for the kind words! <3

Are you aware of a conflict issue with Woo Commerce since the last update and a secondary issue with webp images, I have had to shut off Woo Commerce and half the plugins to get images and menus back after the last update.

Hey webhosting4biz,

The last two minor releases only contained small changes unrelated to WooCommerce or image loading. I’d be glad to take a look at your site and assist if you can provide the URL where the issue can be seen. If you’d like to reach out privately, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards.

Hi,

I have a question about lazy loading, as a global settings I activated lazy loading on my site in the Theme settings. However, when i build a portfolio grid, i dont see an option to skip the lazy loading for this page ONLY. I see default, and Lazy loading. Screenshot here -> https://imgur.com/a/ARy6Ubn

The problem is since i activated lazy loading in the global theme settings, the default is also lazy loading. I have not options of skipping lazy loading for this page. How can i do that?

thanks

Hey toolbox101,

I’ve noted to add an option to skip lazy loading on the post grid in the next release. If you’d like early access, please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.

Cheers

Hi!

I’ve noticed that WPBakery is not working anymore. Anyone having this problem? What can I do to make it work? I can’t edit pages anymore using the WPBakery plugin integrate in the theme.

Thank you!

Hey creativebureauro!

If you can confirm that you’re on the latest version of the Salient WPBakery page builder (6.7x), have you also tried to disable your third party plugins to verify that none of them are causing the conflict? If so, kindly reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Yes, I can confirm that I have the latest version of the Salient WPBakery (6.7.1), including the latest Salient Theme (14.0.7) and WordPress (5.9.3). I update the theme via Envato Market Plugin. Also, I’ve disabled all third-party plugins and nothing helps. I’ll reach out to you via the contact form.

Thank you!

Thanks creativebureauro, I’ve followed up via email :)

Cheers

Hi, i bought your theme second time. Good theme. But i need some components. May be you add this options next update? Thanks for good job.

- Check this link: https://demo.agnidesigns.com/cartify/home-2/ - I need this like slidable second menu on header and this menu hide or add default menu under in to mobile version.

Thanks!

Hey sinayes, I’m glad to hear that you’re enjoying Salient!

I’ve noted your idea on the wishlist. However, you can already accomplish something similar by assigning a global section which contains a carousel to the “After Header Navigation” field in the Salient options panel > global section tab.

See the docs on Global Sections here: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-global-sections/

Kind regards

Hi, I need to find a way to change image proportion for woocommerce product gallery and widgets. Example: https://lovebenedetta.com/product/bijou-tie-up-set Basically I want images to be taller, how can I change the height of those images?

Thanks

Hey WeboCreativo,

You can use the “Single Product Image Dimensions” in the Salient options panel > WooCoomerce > Single product tab to specify a custom image size for the gallery. Alternatively, if you already have a size specified in there, you can remove that to allow the uncropped version to display.

As for the product archives/related products sizing – you can specify that in the WordPress customizer > WooCommerce > Product images tab.

Kind regards,

Hey guys, any ideas why my site is not responsive on the main page hero section? I tried everything from aligning to mobile settings to full height rows, to column changes etc…nothing works :(

https://footlove.mu/

nevermind silly me, i had two images there, only noticed in the backend though…one must have been left over and was blank.

No worries Wobblefin, glad that you’ve sorted it :)
