Hi there, Static content (images, CSS, and JavaScript files) is cached inside Cloudflare’s Global Content Delivery Network (CDN) by default. I am using Cloudflare enterprise. In Salient general settings I can activate: Delay Javascript Execution > which setting do u recommend? Devices to Activate “Delay Javascript” Logic > All devices? Thank you

Hey Mikel2020,

The only drawback when it’s active for desktop as opposed to “Mobile only” is that top-level animations might end up getting simplified. If you’re okay with that then keep it active for all devices.

However, if you’re using another performance plugin with a similar option e.g. WP Rocket’s delay javascript execution, then I would recommend keeping the Salient option disabled.

Kind regards

Clear. Thx :)

You’re welcome, Mikel2020 :)

Hi meokids.com has errors in mobile view , plse check

Hey anazkhan,

From first glance, I’m seeing some of your elements have various font sizes set for desktop, but nothing set for mobile, which is causing some items text to be appear to large and others too small on mobile.

For example, you top section with the text “Pure cotton making them”, should have a font size set in the phone viewport in the split line heading element settings: https://ibb.co/gycLM1D and your “Call to action” button element should as well.

If you’d like further assistance with specific items, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards

Thanks in advance

Hi mates, i’m trying to make buttons 100% width of the column. any way i can do that?

a solution for the whole site, as per button would be great. hope to hear from you soon. website -> l-i-n-k.org/frontpage/

Hey Ragmannl, Sorry about that – I meant to place the class name on the parent row, not the column (and not the button).

yep that solved it, tyvm

You’re welcome, Ragmannl :)

Hi ThemeNectar! Im trying to customize the settings on an imported demo, but having two problems: 1. I cant seem to resize the logo on the header no matter what values I give (it shows up super small) 2. I can’t manage to change the menu navigation color scheme…the hover underline color just stays the same no matter if I change the color scheme settings… Hope you can help! Thx =)

Hey anagcan!

The header logo size is specified from the “Logo Height” field in the Salient options > header navigation > logo & general settings tab, And the colors for all header aspects are controlled via the Salient options > header navigation > Color Scheme tab.

If both of those are not responding to your changes, there’s probably an issue that your server is having writing the dynamic stylesheet. Please please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.

Cheers

Dear Salients,

happy new year 1st. Hop you´re having fine days.

For the wishlist: Twitter sux and mastodon gains more ´n more popularity. Could you pls implement in social links (Header / Footer). Would be great.

Thx n farewell 4 now.

Hey born-design,

Thanks for the request :)

Happy New Year to you as well!

Great! Avaible now in new theme version. But can´t find it in buider element “icons” (Font awesome). I am blind or does it realy not exist…yet..?

Cheers, BD.

Hey born-design,

It’s not available in the page builder Font Awesome library, as FontAwesome does not include that network. We’ve added it in a custom icon family for the header/footer theme options. In the next feature-based release (15.1), we’ll be adding a new font family to all icon elements in the page builder which includes a new list of social icons.

Kind regards

HI SINCE WORDPRES UPGRADE 6.1.1 THE THEME DOESNT LOAD ANYMORE PORPERLY; https://www.anodized.at/

Hey patko, there are no known compatibility issues with WordPress 6.1.1. What version of the theme are you using and have you tried to uninstall and reinstall Salient yet after doing your upgrade? Some of the files could have failed to get copied correctly during the upgrade.

Kind regards

hi, im using Version: 11.0.4 and no, i havnt tried because im afraid of overwriting current theme

Hey patko,

I followed up with you via email earlier today.

Kind regards

Hi, I created a global section that is a footer but I want this footer only to appear for portfolio items. How can I achieve this?

Sorry about that. I meant hide it on portfolio and show everywhere else. I have 2 global sections right now. Both are footers. I want the one named SAAS footer to be site wide except portfolio and post items. and the one names “Event Footer” to be on portfolio and post items.

No worries djb19,

Only one global section can be assigned to the footer location currently, but that will be changing in the next feature-based release.

For now, you’ll have to remove your site wide global section on portfolio items with the following rule (the old rule can be removed)

body.single-portfolio .nectar-global-section.before-footer {
  display: none;
}

And then manually add your portfolio global section using the global section page builder element within each project.

ok thanks! looking forward to future updates. and great theme!

Hi,

I remember reading a thread that included custom css to make a row or button trigger the search bar. Could you share this with me?

Many thanks!

Hey deonteramos!

Unfortunately, there’s no custom class name available to trigger the header search bar from a custom location as of now, however, I’ve noted to include on in the next release :)

If you’d like early access, feel free to reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.

Cheers

Hello – can you tell me where I can change the color and styles for my global text links? I am looking to have all my text links be orange as well as underlined by default and no underline on hover.

Currently my links are all blue with no underline until hover and hard to read. Example of a page where I have several text links are here: https://jamescarveronline.com/free-screenplay-downloads/

Thanks!

Hey JayCarver!

You can toggle the overall link style in the Salient options panel > general settings tab via the field labeled “General Link Style”.

However, to achieve the combination you’re trying for you would also need to add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab

body a {
    color: #d56a1c;
    text-decoration: underline;
}
body a:hover {
    color: #d56a1c;
    text-decoration: none;
}

Happy New Year :)

Hey!

Like every year, I’m looking back on my year of web production and preparing for the next one. I analyze my future needs and the tools at my disposal. And like every year, I am happy to count you among my collaborators. Your theme greatly facilitates the understanding of my clients and allows them to take full advantage of their new website. And that is greatly appreciated. In addition to offering first-class support.

Thank you very much and I wish each of us a great year 2023, filled with new challenges.

Cheers from Canada!

Hey barreoblique, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us—It really means a lot :)

Best wishes for the New Year! <3

Thank you!

My navigation is complex – I have both off canvas & mega menu on desktop.
is there a way to create a separate navigation for mobile only?

Hey again Lateralus578,

There is no built-in option to remove both of the menus that you’ve assigned to the menu locations to show a different menu on mobile only. However, CSS could be used to alter which menu items are displayed when viewed on mobile.

If you’d like us to assist with providing a tailored snippet for you, kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards with your site URL and more details about what you’re trying to achieve.

Salient templates – there are no examples on how to create a downloadable file T_T
I tried button, call to action, open in new window, lightbox, etc… – they all just open in a new or in the same window. I want to download and not open it. I found a solution but they use original builder not wpbakery one. I also checked your templates and the demo site – not a single download file button

Hey Lateralus578,

If you wish for your link to trigger a download, you could

1. .zip the file and link to that .zip to force a download.

2. Add a “download” attribute to an anchor tag via a text block in the text tab. An example of that would look like: https://pastebin.com/35yYRqg0

3. Add an .htaccess rule to that specifies specific file types should be downloaded.

Happy New Year :)

Hi, 1. how do I remove the social share sticky icon that appears on portfolio items? 2. Im using the icon list vertical. The space between icons is too much. How do I set custom space?

No problem, djb19 :)

Which gallery type are you using? e.g. Image Grid, Flickity etc.

Kind regards

It is image grid. Thanks!

Hey djb19,

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

.wpb_gallery_slidesimage_grid .inner-wrap {
    border-radius: 20px;
    overflow: hidden;
}

Hi, I am interested in this template: https://themenectar.com/salient/nonprofit

I would like to know, before buying it, if it is possible to create a linkable page outside the parallax of the home page, to create an internal web page where to develop more content. I would just need to create a couple more pages that could appear in the main menu.

Thanks in advance.

Hey evaviera!

Yes, you can create as many pages as you need and add the links to those pages through the off-canvas menu, as used in that demo, or add the links in the standard header navigation area (next to the off-canvas menu button).

Kind regards

Hi, how can I change the mobile view padding if the row is using container and not full width content? Thank you in advance!

Hey expectoio!

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

@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
  body .container {
       max-width: 350px;
   }
}

Kind regards

Hi, how many plugins these theme use?

Hey Seranum,

The page builder and the Salient core plugin are the only two required plugins. We include a handful of other add-on plugins for additional optional functionality that be used if desired.

Hey For no reason all my settings was reset. I was changing my accent color and some minute after everything was clear as the first set up. All the font, color, size, logo image, blog settings was reset. And the emoji from my website doesn’t recognize and be replaced by « ? ». Do you know If something can generate this by your side ?

Hey JeremyZehren,

I’m sorry to hear that. If your emoji’s are not rendering, it’s possible that your database is not using the correct charset in order to properly encode them and likely needs to be changed to. Here’s an article on that topic.

As for your options resetting—there’s no known issue which would cause that, but it sounds like some sort of server error occurred which would need to be examined by means of your server error log. Please open a ticket on the support forum in regards.

Thanks in advance

Hi there, I have a suggestion for the long-term list of improvements – Search Field
Current option allows me to place a small icon in the header, and that’s pretty much it. There are no options to add it in the page as a separate full width row so that I can make a nice CTA or create a custom “search page”
Alternative option is to create a footer and use search in a widget area / sidebar – this option is limited (non ajax) and always located at the bottom of the page. Simply put it sucks.

Hey Lateralus578,

I’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist :)

Kind regards

Is it possible to use custom image (png or svg) for the cart, search and profile icons in the header? If so, through css? And if yes, can you help me with the css code to do so?

Hey SjoerdDooren,

It would require either a CSS addition or an override of the “nectar_header_button_items” function in salient/nectar/helpers/header.php

If you use CSS, an example would look like:

.icon-salient-search:before  {
  visibility: hidden;
}

.icon-salient-search {
  background-image: url('YOUR-ICON.png');
  background-size: cover;
}

Amazing! So cool. Maybe a nice feature for the future to have in the theme settings :)

Glad I could help, SjoerdDooren :)

nice theme

Thanks AliA :)
