Hi,

I hope this message finds you well. Is there a way to widen the default width of each row on mobile? When I make the content full-width that helps, but this is tiresome when it comes to blog posts.

Thanks for your help!

Hey deonteramos!

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

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

Kind regards

I see that Salient uses WPBakery page builder, but is it the purchased version of WPB, or Salient’s own “personalized” version that you’ve added additional elements to?

Also, is there a page where I can see all the additional elements? Thanks.

Hey portpass1974,

It is a tailored version of WPBakery that is exclusive to Salient. All of the page builder elements are demonstrated on the main landing page via the “Elements” menu item: https://themenectar.com/salient/

hello

On the SaaS demo https://themenectar.com/salient/saas/

The section of the video (man typing, Automate your growth)

is there a way to hide the play button completely, so it does not show at all.

All functionality is the same but not play button?

Much gratitude

J

Hey J,

If you still want the video to be clickable to trigger a Lightbox version, you can hide that play button by adding the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:

.nectar_video_player_self_hosted .play_button.follow_mouse .play {
    visibility: hidden;
}

Kind regards

Hello.

Whenever I use the image gallery on a page design the images always appear soft. They’re not blurred but they lose their sharpness. Is as if the preview images aren’t rendering properly, because if I click on a individual image and open it in a lightbox, the image is pin sharp and looks exactly the way it was uploaded.

Can you please let me know the cause of the problem? I am using an up to date version of Firefox on a Mac.

Here is a link to the website in question https://alexandrawallace.co.uk/

Thanks

Hey alexbirks, Have you tried to enabled the “Bypass image cropping” option within your Portfolio element settings yet? https://ibb.co/R4mxz53

Kind regards

hi guys, i’m trying to save salient options but i get undefined error and options can’t be saved. Can you help me? This is the url: https://nicolap30.sg-host.com/

Hey plasmedia, Have you already tried to disable third party plugins to see if any are causing the issue? If so, the next step would be to look at your server error logs to see what specially is causing it for you. We’d be glad to help further if you’d like to open a ticket on the support forum in regards.

Hi,

I’ve purchased the theme previously and still use it with great joy. I wish to use this theme for another project but have some pre-sale questions. How can I get in touch before adding another support subscription?

Kind regards

Hey epicz, I’m glad to hear you’ve been enjoying the theme :)

Feel free to please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.

Cheers

Awesome, will get in touch there! Cheers

You’re welcome, epicz :)

Hello,

I recently inherited the management of a website using Salient version 12.1.0.

I would like to buy the theme so that I always have it updated. In this moment it is active a Child Theme and the client is happy about the style and the configurations.

Can I update the theme without any issues? Is there anything in particular I should do to keep the current style and configurations of the Child Theme?

Thank you for the help.

Kind Regards.

Hey beejaysymon,

As long as your client doesn’t have template overrides within the child theme, there won’t be any additional work. Your theme settings will automatically persist through updating.

If your child theme does have template overrides, they might need to be updated to reflect the current parent theme versions if you run into any display issues.

Kind regards

Hi there,

first of all: fantastic theme. It’s really easy to achieve great results for the most part, even without knowing anything about code.

I’m using the theme for a video portfolio (post grid). All videos are self-hosted and every video opens in lightbox only. I’m using Fancybox3 because magnify fails to show the videos (image can not be loaded).

Is there any way to add text under the lightbox videos? Just one line to state clients, agencies, roles etc. would be enough.

Thanks a lot, Dennis

Hey Dennis, I’m glad to hear you’ve been enjoying Salient!

Unfortunately, there’s no option as of now to add any additional text to display under your project video within the Lightbox. However, I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist :)

Kind regards

Thanks for your reply.

Is it possible to use this plugin instead of the Fancybox Lightbox:

https://archetyped.com/lab/slb-video-addon-beta/?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=slb-add-ons&utm_campaign=video-handler

The Vimeo demo is pretty much what I’m looking for with the text under the video.

Hey DenK3000, the default theme Lightbox can be disable via the Salient options panel > general settings > functionality tab with the “Theme Lightbox” option, however, you’ll still need to likely do some modifications to the portfolio output from your child theme in order to query and add for that additional data to be displayed.

Kind regards

Hello ThemeNectar! I am using the text version for the logo (we have a long business name) and on cell phones displayed in profile mode the business name overlaps the search icon. How can I prevent this overlap? Thanks blclandscape.com

Hey asbundschuh!

You could set a maximum width for the logo to cause it to break into multiple lines when needed. 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: 999px) {
#header-outer #top .col.span_3 #logo {
    max-width: 70%;
}
}

Kind regards

That worked great. Thanks so much!!!

You’re welcome, asbundschuh :)

Dear support, I want to add a top-bar above my navigation. Is that possible in any way? This theme would be awesome with a header builder.

Hey nanowebnl, thanks for the request :)

You can enable the “Secondary Header Bar” in the Salient options panel > header navigation > Secondary header bar tab.

Kind regards

what kind of builder does it use?

Hey GamingTheater,

Salient uses a customized version of the WPBakery page builder.

Kind regards

Well, Salient breaks my website. Yesterday I was unable to log into the back end of this website (which is a cloned version); I saw a white screen with a long string in the upper left corner. I was, however, able to log in via GoDaddy cPanel and create a clone for testing. This demonstrated that the problem persisted even with ALL plugins disabled. I re-enabled them, and then changed themes to a generic WP theme. Success! I was then able to log into the back end via the usual wp-admin route (not via cPanel).

I really don’t want to pay for support, only to help the author debug something in Salient. If it’s something I’ve done, I’ll gladly pony up the money!

Hey borcherj, Are you using a recent release of the theme? If your server was recently upgraded to use a newer version of PHP, you would also need to be on a modern version of Salient (14+). The current release is 15.0.8.

I would need to see details of the error getting logged in order to help assist further. Feel free to reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.

Old website using Salient version 8.1. Can I update the theme without any issues? Any issues I should be away of?

Hey muntzdesigns,

Since you’re updating from a version prior to when the Salient plugins were added, I would suggest reading through this if you haven’t already used a recent release of the theme: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/important-salient-update-for-new-envato-requirements/

Other than being aware of that information, you should be fine to do the upgrade easily so long as you don’t have template overrides in your child theme. If you do, those will need to also be updated to reflect the current parent versions.

Kind regards

Is there a way I can build templates for custom post types with Salient? I installed a 3rd party plugin to create a custom post type and I’d like to design a template using the built in visual editors that make responsive designs instead of editing PHP files.

Hey tgregoryknox,

One alternative option would be to create a global section and then manually call that section programmatically in the content of CPT template file. e.g.

https://pastebin.com/sM1imMYk

Kind regards

I think that approach is good if you want the content the same everywhere. Unless I’m missing something.

But let’s say I have a custom post type called “Show” that represents a show being performed at a theatre. It’d have a name, a director, show dates/times, a description, a poster, etc…

Ideally, I can create a template that would display each Show that’s been created in the same layout but with each Show’s own data/images/etc…

Can the method you mentioned above do that?

Hey tgregoryknox,

There’s no ability to add dynamic data into the Salient elements from within the page builder yet. Currently, the only element that would allow you to pull in data from a custom source would be the Post Grid. However, that would be applicable to what you’re looking for.

Hey ThemeNectar, Im happy user of your Salient theme :). No I build new website for my client – maesif.com and I recommened Salient theme to him. They bought it, but I wrote you via my profile. Please, is any possibility make a menu with hover image like in my design on the video? https://youtu.be/wU-V4nIJh_0 Many thanks

Hey yacomo! I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the theme :)

Unfortunately there’s no built-in options to create that kind of an animation within the megamenu as of now. Accomplishing that would require custom development from within a child theme.

Kind regards

Hey ThemeNectar, many thanks for your quick answer :). Nevermind, I solved it via raw html code and it is working well :). So, all the best and have a nice day :) yacomo

Glad to hear, yacomo :)

Cheers

hi https://gastromallorca.net/7dis/tienda/ any idea why the categories on the filter are not showing? thanks

yes thanks

i found how to do it, thanks

Glad to hear, dimage :)

Hi ThemeNectar, I have been using Salient theme for over 2 years now and have encountered this problem for the first time and unable to resolve. My WPBakery Front End Editor is not working, cannot see changes/edits and cannot add elements and themes. I attempted to de-activate plug-ins on my WordPress and the WPBakery is still not working. I even attempted to de-activate the Salient plug-ins and WPBakery plug-in then re-activated them. Thanks for your time and support.

Will I need to renew my support for 6 months via Envato to get this level of assistance? Thanks

Hey jtran9, those versions of PHP and WordPress are both supported. Can you confirm that you also updated the Salient page builder to the latest version as well (6.9.1)? You will need an active support license in order to use the forum.

Hello, thank you for the reply, my Salient page builder is the latest, 6.9.1. I am currently in discussion with a support ticket. GoDaddy (my WP hosting) claims that nothing is wrong with the server configuration, but errors are due to theme and plugin of Salient.

solved

Hi, I have infinite scroll for the blog on but I still get /blog/page/2/ show up in google search. Also for blog categories as well. Eg: /reviews/page/2/.

How to stop this as all my blog content is on 1 page? Is there a code I can add?

Hey veccccio,

Enabling the Infinite Scroll option does not remove those pages from being automatically created from WordPress. The infinite scrolling actually pulls in the data which exists on those pages in order to render the next set of posts.

In order to prevent those archives from getting indexed in search engines, you could use an SEO plugin such as Yoast which provides options for that.

hello

could you please guide me to where I can change the footer content on this demo https://themenectar.com/salient/saas/

I’ve looked in the below areas and can’t see it:

• Salient > Footer • Appearance > Widgets • SaaS landing page > last row (Frequently asked questions is the last row)

I’d just like to tweak the content where it says

Scale your brand and earn more revenue Start your trial etc

Thanks in advance

Hey stsw,

That section is populated from a Global Section. You can read more about global sections here: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-global-sections/

Kind regards

Much gratitude

You’re welcome, stsw :)
