Hi—is there a way I can make this accordion open by default (scroll down the page a bit)?

https://jamescarveronline.com/product/creating-the-ultimate-protagonist/

I would not want that to be the case for every accordion, just this particular one.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Hey JayCarver,

Yes, but you’ll need to change the Toggle Panel element settings to enable the “Accordion Toggles” option: https://ibb.co/3FCTMYj

Kind regards

Good Morning!

I am trying to see if there is a way to have a different “call to action” button text depending on the specific blog post category for the “recent post slider” element. I have provided the link below for the page you can reference to see the 2 different sections I am referring to.

https://www.bulbaritos.com/the-burrito-bowl/

On this page, there is an “Upcoming Events” and a “Past Events” section that both use the “Recent Posts Slider” element. Here is what I would like to see if I can get done.

For the “Upcoming Events” blog category I would like to have a “Register Now” text to show in the button.

For “Past Events” blog category I would like to have a “View Results” text to show in the button.

Hey Anthony_And_Marisa!

That would require overriding the recent-posts.php template file via your child theme: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/overriding-salient-wpbakery-element-template-files-through-a-child-theme/

Once you have it overridden, you could add logic to change the button text depending on a selected category. The relevant button output occurs near line 891 within the file, assuming that you’re on a recent release of the Salient Core plugin

Kind regards

Ok I have successfully moved over the recent-posts.php to the child theme but I have no clue what code additions I would need to add to the lines of code you referred to (starting at line 891) in order to solve my initial question asked. Any help would be great. Below is the lines of code you referenced.

<?php if( $stored_theme_skin == 'material') { ?>
            <?php echo esc_html__( 'Read Article','salient-core'); ?>  
         <?php } else { ?>
            <?php echo esc_html__( 'Read Article','salient-core'); ?>  
         <?php } ?>

Hey Anthony_And_Marisa,

An example of the modification would look like this: https://pastebin.com/jXtUbnbT

Kindly use the support forum in the future for assistance with items similar to this :)

Hello,

Could you tell me where to find “Lottie animation setting”.

I want to add a Lottie animation on a page but I can’t find on “Page Builder”.

Thanks for your help.

Hey ASG31, If you’re not seeing the Lottie page builder element available in your setup, you probably just need to update your version of the Salient Core plugin to the latest release (1.9.7+). If that update is not showing available for you, please ensure that you’re also on the latest Salient: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/

Kind regards

Thank you for this new update! Great job, as usual! Keep up the good work ;-) Cheers!

Thanks, barreoblique! :)

Hi,

Is it possible on the shop page to change the text as follows:

‘Select Options’ -> ‘More Info’ ‘Quick View’ -> ‘Buy Now’

Otherwise it just feels a bit longwinded for people to go to the product page and then back to the shop page in order to add an item to cart.

Thanks.

You’re welcome AletalkProductions :)

Here’s a snippet you can use within your Salient Child theme functions.php file to change those buttons: https://pastebin.com/F8WhDjL3 After adding it, you’ll need to add/remove a product from your cart in order to see the changes take effect.

Kind regards

Thanks, it’s all working great, apart from when I use the child theme it seems that the ajax cart doesn’t work/ pop-up (this is both with & without the code you supplied to make the amends).

It does add it to cart though, I just have to refresh a page to see that it’s beedn added.

Is there any reason you could see that the Ajax (pop-out on right) cart doesn’t work when using the child theme?

Thanks.

Hey AletalkProductions,

The base child theme includes no modifications—it only loads the child theme stylesheet. Have you added any additional code to your child other than that snippet? If not, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards so that I can take a closer look at the backend.

Kind regards

Hey toolbox101,

In general, most WPBakery will still work with our tailored version of the builder. However, I haven’t tested that specific version and it appears that the developer has not updated it in years so it might contain its own issues.

Kind regards

I see, thanks… any alt. Similar plugin that you have tested and recommend instead of this one ?

Hey toolbox101,

Ultimate adding is a more popular choice and is still regularly maintained: https://codecanyon.net/item/ultimate-addons-for-visual-composer/6892199

Kind regards

For the cart with extended functionality it doesn’t work well on mobile with products which have long descriptions. https://ibb.co/ZcWw4LM

It would be best to have the product description on one line with the price and quantity selection underneath on a single line.

Hey MarcGarner,

If you do not wish to alter the mobile typography settings which those titles inherit from (heading 4), you could also create a rule specific for them like so: https://pastebin.com/pbPhng7Q

In the future, if you have multiple requests/questions please post them via the support forum so that they can be correctly assigned & indexed on our end. https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Hi, is it possible to have an image in the backbround of the menu of the left menu layout? (like this one https://depender.eu) so how could I achieve that if it is possible? Thnx in advance!

Hey donna2!

You could add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab to get that look:

#header-outer {
    background-image: url(your-image-src.jpg);
    background-size: cover;
}

Kind regards

Thanks very much!! this did the trick ;-)

Glad that I could help, donna2 :)

How can we edit the colours and text sizes/styles in the cart pop out with extended functionality?

Hey MarcGarner,

The colors of the mini cart are set to be the same as what you’ve specified Header Navigation > Color Scheme via the “Header Background” and “Header Font”. The typography of your product titles inherits from the “Heading 4” field.

Kind regards

Request for improved cart page/functionality especially on mobile.

• There’s a lot of wasted space, many of the elements are too large or not even needed. For example there’s no need to have the labels “quantity”, “price” or “product” these elements are self explanatory. • The coupon element could be much smaller with an integrated apply button. • The button for checkout should always be visible rather than customers needing to scroll.

Shipping calculations could be saved for the checkout page rather than displaying on the cart.

Our cart on mobile – https://ibb.co/dMyLN3P Optimised Shopify site cart – https://ibb.co/KcPT9jm

Hey MarcGarner,

Thanks for the request—some of those changes you’re looking for might cause conflicts with third-party plugins which extend/alter the WooCommerce cart functionality if we included them by default. However, they’ve been noted :)

Are there any plans to update the cart to be more mobile friendly? Just in terms of layout and spacing.

Hey MarcGarner, the upcoming release is not WooCommerce-focused, however your previous feedback for the cart page is still noted on the wishlist for the next WooCommerce update.

Kind regards

When using a ‘Responsive Text’ element, it appears that the Custom Line Height value is static across all three breakpoints. How could I set different line-height values for desktop, tablet, and mobile? For instance: body copy set to 1vw and 1.5 line-height on desktop changing to 1.25 line-height on mobile. Thanks!

Hey thisoldhauser!

Adjusting that field per viewport would require a custom CSS rule as of now—we haven’t made that specific input responsive because you can generally get away with a single unites value to keep the line height consistent across devices. An example of a CSS snippet for mobile viewports might look like:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
 #ajax-content-wrap .nectar-responsive-text {
   line-height: 1.5; 
  }
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
 #ajax-content-wrap .nectar-responsive-text {
   line-height: 1.25; 
  }
}

Kind regards

Hi there, for some strange reason the page submenu option isn’t available in the global sections. It seems to be missing. Is there a reason for this or is it a glitch? Thanks

Hey SimonCrossleydesign,

I can’t seem to replicate that locally: https://ibb.co/f4wG4Sj

Can you kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards with your site information so that we can take a closer look to see what’s going on?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the response, After further investigation it seems that it won’t let you insert a page submenu into an inner row. It works on a standard row. Also there is a gap between the top of the global section and the rest of the page content when the the global section is set as a footer. Is there a way ti remove this?

Hey SimonCrossleydesign,

Yes, a page submenu can not be placed into an inner row.

In regards to the gap that you’re seeing—if you’re already using the latest version of Salient (15.0.8), can you please share the page URL so that I can take a look?

Can i set differtent map markers on the same interactive map ? ( diffent logo’s )

Hey yannickpeeters,

Unfortunately there’s no built-in option for that—it would require custom CSS as of now, but targeting the individual pins for those kind of rules would be tedious, depending on how many different pins you were looking to swap images for.

In the future, please use the support forum in when posting multiple questions.

Thanks in advance

How do i remove this top ( header or title ) section – grey area on top https://www.stout.marketing/around/

Hey—have you verified that you also have not explicitly specified a height for the page header within that same metabox? Also, make sure that thee header type is set to the default (Image background) if you’re not supplying a video. It appears that you may have the video type selected with no video assigned.

great thanks!

You’re welcome, yannickpeeters :)

Hello and happy NY ! I wish you the best from the my heart. Could u help me please. Is it possible to add grainy background ( or noise background ) like in this web site ? https://selectedbase.com/ Using css , of course. Not video.

Hey raffess, Happy New Year to you as well! :)

Here’s a codeine which demonstrates how that effect could be achieve in CSS only via a keyframe animation: https://codepen.io/ooblek/pen/vYxYomx

However, the code would need to be modified to selector the areas of your own site which you’re trying to add it on.

Kind regards

Thanx a lot! And one more question – how can I hit a row with this code? For example – I’ve got 3 rows and I want to add this code to one of them as background

Oh, I actually did by myself, thanks u for assistance really helped

After logging in, the product page displays an error:

Uncaught TypeError: e.prev(...).andSelf is not a function ei https://xxx.eu/wp/wp-content/themes/wp/js/build/init.js?ver=15.0.7:1 jQuery 2 each each ei https://xxx.eu/wp/wp-content/themes/wp/js/build/init.js?ver=15.0.7:1 <anonymous> https://xxx.eu/wp/wp-content/themes/wp/js/build/init.js?ver=15.0.7:1 jQuery 13 e t setTimeout handlerDeferred/then/l/< c fireWith fire c fireWith ready $ EventListener.handleEvent <anonymous> <anonymous>

I have the latest Jquery plugin.

Hey MotionSystems, that error would only occur if you’d disabled the core jQuery migrate script from WordPress. However, it’s been fixed with the latest theme release: https://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html#15-0-8

Kind regards

hello, I added the Ultimate Addons for WPBakery Page Builder, but there seems to be an issue when trying to view what the add-on will look like while in edit mode. I can’t really see what I am doing until I get out of edit mode completely.

Is there something I am doing wrong? Is this add-on not compatible with your theme?

Hey enoch524, I’ve tested with that plugin locally and can’t see any immediate issues within the back-end or front-end editor while adding/editing elements. Can you kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards with your site information and more details about how to recreate the issue?

Thanks in advance

Hi Theme Nectar
There is a bug with global sections located at footer (after content): some elements like Fancy Unordered Lists lost their styles.
Another bug is that a paragraph is created just before the global section at footer
Please check these issues. View site

Thanks for the clarification—I didn’t realize you were referring to the spacing option within the element. The fix for that was added into the v15.0.8 release today.

Kind regards

Thank you for the quick update.

No problem, 01DA :)

customers complain about the video lightbox “follow button”. This effect causes lags on older laptops. Apparently something with RAM or processor… don’t know
I asked ChatGPT to write me a plugin :D :D :D that will check user’s computer and disable animations – https://ibb.co/Y0rRQWh :D :D :D
Although it’s not what I’m after – there are different variations of fixing such issues – kindly take a look at it

Hey Lateralus578,

That’s a decent result from ChatGPT :D However, it won’t work.

The “Mouse Follow” effect is already coded in such a way as to take advantage of all available techniques for high-performance rendering. If your audience consists of a sizable amount of users on older devices, I would suggest using one of the other styles offered from that element with a static play button: https://themenectar.com/salient/video-lightbox/

Kind regards

hi,

Why is there an empty p tag, in between my global footer content and main content? https://imgur.com/a/PaW3whS

I checked the short code and the page builder settings there is nothing I could find.

the empty p tag makes a white space in between the contents, which looks bad.

Thanks

Can I please send a private message from your profile page instead? Thanks

Sure, toolbox101— you can also reach out via email

Actually your updated fixed it, thanks
