Hi there,
How can I remove the category tags from single posts? Reference screenshot here: https://share.cleanshot.com/YNJ1pp

Hey Romanesco,

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

.row .col.section-title .meta-category,
#ajax-content-wrap #page-header-bg .inner-wrap>a,
.material #page-header-bg.fullscreen-header .inner-wrap>a {
  display: none;
}

Cheers

Thanks!

You’re welcome, Romanesco :)

Icomoon.woff is causing delays

Hello, it seems my website is still trying to load icomoon.woff but I am not sure where this comes from. Is this a setting within Salient, or is something going wrong?

The issue is that it is try to load it, but it actually does not find it and throws an error after several seconds.

In the source code I find:

<link rel=”preload” href=”https://www.site.com/wp-content/themes/salient/css/fonts/icomoon.woff?v=1.2” as=”font” type=”font/woff” crossorigin=”anonymous”>

Added info: When I look at the error message sit seems he is trying to find icomoon.woff under https://www.site.com/product/css/fonts/icomoon.woff

I think somehow the /product/ tag is added but I have no idea why this happens?

Hey dzineee,

A preload link is added when the theme option “Font Display Swap” is enabled in the Salient options > general settings > performance. You can turn that off to remove the warning, however I would need to take a closer look at your actual setup to see why the URL is being generated incorrectly. Kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards

Hello, I can not modify the carousel, I would like to obtain an effect like this. I hope you can help me. I also tried with Fixed Text Content Fullwidth however, only the dots come out and not the arrows https://ibb.co/wsVTn6Z

Thanks

Hey stefanopollio,

That would require some custom modding via a child theme. Unfortunately that change wouldn’t be a quick CSS snippet that I could provide here in the comments. The “fixed text content fullwidth” is very close to that minus the next/prev navigation, so that would probably be your easiest path to start and then create custom navigation items via JS: https://flickity.metafizzy.co/api.html#previous

hello, how could be activated infinite scroll into the wc prods archive page instead of pagination?

Thank you

Hey plasticadv,

In the current release, that would require custom development or the use of a third party plugin which adds the functionality.

Kind regards

Hey there, I have a question. Is it possible to have the carousel items clickable? Here’s the example page: https://themenectar.com/salient/carousel/

Can someone help? Thank you very much

Hey sofiacoper, Yes – when editing the fancy box elements within the carousel, you can optionally add a link by using the “Link URL” field.

Kind regards,

Hi guys, I would like to have one link of the top navigation NOT included in the off canvas menu. How can I do that? Using the centered logo menu alt.

Thank you

Hey nelala,

That could be handled with a css rule. You can add a class name to your desired link like so: https://ibb.co/HTT0VLv

And then add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:

#slide-out-widget-area .skip-in-mobile,
#mobile-menu .skip-in-mobile {
 display: none;
}

Kind regards,

Good Day

Is there a possibility of adding space on the left and right of the full width content row. We don’t want the row to touch the edges as we are creating a card website with round corners

thank you

Hey F5Creative,

You can add left/right padding to the row by using the following settings: https://ibb.co/WPj8sdM

Kind regards,

Me again :-) Please take a look at the Nectar slider video in the third row / right frame at https://inthesameboat.org/itsb/. It displays nicely on desktop but way too tall on mobile. Turning on “flexible slider height” doesn’t fix this. Is there any custom CSS or something else that will make this look right on mobile? Thank you.

Hey marcfest, instead of using a Nectar Slider for that video, you could apply the video background directly to your column like so: https://ibb.co/xggC8h2

You could then control the height of your video on mobile by using a divider page builder element inside of the column.

If you’d like us to help further with this, kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards.

Cheers

Wow, that works beautifully. Thank you. Salient really is the best, and so are you!

You’re welcome :)

Bload in database – wp_options

Hello, I was checking my wp_options table. It seems there are a lot of Salient entries that are set to autoload, some of them quite large filesizes.

Now it also seems that old versions of Salient, that are note used for a long time already, are still in there AND being autoloaded. Can I remove these items?

For example (ordered by file size): salient_redux salient salient_redux-transients theme_mods_salient theme_mods_salient-child theme_mods_salientv411 theme_mods_salv3 theme_mods_salientv2

Hey dzineee,

salient_redux is the main theme options store, and the transients for that are also part of the core functionality.

The other entries (theme_mods_*) are part of the core of WordPress Customizer settings. Whenever you change themes and save options via the customizer, A new entry will be created with your active theme name and persist after changing that theme so that you don’t lose you settings if changing back. You can delete any of the following which you are no longer using:

theme_mods_salient-child 
theme_mods_salientv411 
theme_mods_salv3 
theme_mods_salientv2

Kind regards,

Hi, we have a few licenses under this account, a few more under other accounts… and are planning to buy another one for a new project. That’s why we’re commenting. The site we are redesigning is currently on The Gem theme which also uses WP Bakery Page Builder. Are you aware of any tool that can help us migrate the content on the pages from The Gem to Salient?

Hey protectivefilmsolutions,

The core structure should remain when changing (rows/columns), however since the elements sets are different, it would require custom development to find/replace all existing elements to similar Salient elements. I’m unaware of any script that exists to do this exact swap, but it could be possible through PHP if you didn’t want to manually change the elements.

Kind regards,

Thanks. I think this makes sense. Basically, sounds like if I update the theme and WP Bakery in one shot using something like Easy Theme and Plugin updates, the elements should remain there. I’m not worried if it becomes a bit of a mess. I’m going to redesign it all anyway. But if the elements, like text, and some images, are still there to work with them, it makes it easier. Thanks. I should be back on this tomorrow or Monday. I’ll back up, buy a new license of Salient and try this.

You’re welcome, protectivefilmsolutions :)

I’m also unaware of which elements that particular theme uses for their images, but incase they are using the core WPBakery image element, you can make that available within the Salient page builder by adding the following snippet to your child theme:


add_filter('salient_register_core_wpbakery_els','salient_child_wpbakery_els');

function salient_child_wpbakery_els() {
  return array('vc_single_image');
}

Cheers

​Hi there,
Is there a way to make the items of the Post Grid element/ Vertical List, open an external article (in a new tab), similar to how you have an option to switch it up with a Gallery Lightbox? My use case scenario is to showcase referral links rather than fully-fledged posts. Please advise.

Thanks for the quick reply. Just added it (see reference here https://share.cleanshot.com/Ndyti9) but sadly it didn’t work. Am I missing anything? Also, how would I assign the different URLs for each post?

Hey Romanesco,

You can set a post to the “Link” post format and add your URLs to the “Link” field: https://ibb.co/F3Rd1ZG If you’re already doing that and it’s not working, kindly share the page URL so that I can take a look.

Hi ThemeNectar,
That did not work, but I managed to achieve that through a third-party plugin. Thanks!

Hello,

We have a problem with the iphone performance of the Architect Carrousel (flickity-slider). We have installed the theme and everything is going perfect… but checking the carrusel on iPhone, that part is slow and the sliding with the finger is stuck.

Website: shorturl.at/lsuJR

Video iphone problem: https://share.getcloudapp.com/9ZuoAogo

Is there anything that causes that the carousel is stucked on iphone?

Regards

Hey juanp4, the last minor release updated the Flickity library to included fixes for the latest iOS: https://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html

Kind regards,

Hello there. The top nav is not showing up on mobile for https://inthesameboat.org/ – any idea what I need to adjust? Thank you.

Hey marcfest,

In the Salient options panel > header navigation > mobile header tab, turn on the option for “Header Sticky On Mobile”

Kind regards,

Thanks as always !!

You’re welcome, marcfest :)

Cheers

Hi, i found a BUG.

Check this page and first look > You will see like this https://prnt.sc/6G4WoAY6S9Or

And refresh page to will see > https://prnt.sc/U2qdJ0F1TzKz

And you understand me. Random post categories attach to post list. Per refresh to different location random generated.

Thanks!

And, i need Global Section disable to some pages. We need ” global top / bottom section to disable” we use global section and have 400-420 pages. But some pages must don’t include to global sections. Thanks!

Hey sinayes,

1.Since there’s no known issue like that, I would need to take a closer look at the actual page to see what’s causing the issue. Please open a ticket on the support forum in regards with your site URL.

2. You can add the following snippet to your child theme functions.php to conditionally remove global sections on certain pages: https://pastebin.com/8r2JCXQV

Kind regards,

Hi there,

Would be awesome to have a feature like this:

In the post grid element where we can select multiple categories to show. It would be awesome to also have the option to select a category not to show.

So when someone batch-edit and add that “not-showed” category, the posts wouldn’t show in the post grid, even if they are also attached to one of the selected “showed” categories.

Hope you like the idea

Hey nikosff,

Thanks for the requests – I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist :)

Cheers

HI,

how can i completely disable the animation of the milestones? I want it just to display the text, no count to value or motion blur slide-in effect.

is there a php that I can put in the functions.php file or perhaps a different solution?

Thanks

Hey toolbox101,

Leave the milestone set to the motion blur animation option and then add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:

#ajax-content-wrap .nectar-milestone {
  opacity: 1;
}

#ajax-content-wrap .nectar-milestone.motion_blur .number span {
 animation: none;
 transform: none;
 opacity: 1;
}

Cheers

Hi there! Salient is amazing theme, I love your work and updates. However, is there any new information in adding the ability to scroll images as well as text? I mean infinite scroll logos like a https://madebysix.com/info thank you!

Hey romankac! Yes, the option to autorotate the carousel element in a constant ticker-like fashion will be coming to the next big update (14.5).

Cheers

How can I change the woocommerce shopping cart icon?

Hey WEBMANAGERLTDA,

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 .cart-menu .cart-icon-wrap .icon-salient-cart,
#header-outer #mobile-cart-link .icon-salient-cart{
 visibility: hidden;
}

#header-outer .cart-menu .cart-icon-wrap,
#header-outer #mobile-cart-link {

Kind regards,

Excellent thank you very much!

You’re welcome :)

Hey, isn’t it possible to add sidebars?! Just wondering..

Hey pedja300,

Yes – you can add a sidebar to any page by selecting one of the sidebar enabled page templates: https://ibb.co/tBqKqJp

Kind regards,

I can add to pages, but i can not create new ones. That’s what i mean.

Hey pedja300, Salient doesn’t have built-in functionality to register new widget areas. For that, you could use a plugin such as: https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-sidebars/

To add custom widget areas to pages without having to create new page templates, you can use the “Widgetised Sidebar” page builder element like so: https://ibb.co/XL5Vv0S

Kind regards,

Good afternoon. I have a text formatting question. Is it possible to create a bulleted list using the salient capabilities, which can include both text and pictures. As in this example – https://disk.yandex.ru/i/W405nK4IDUsXdA

Hey MiraSmurkov,

It would easiest to alternate between unordered list elements and inner rows holding images/text as needed. Here’s an example of what I mean: https://ibb.co/yQLYNdN

Kind regards,
