Hi!

Is there a way that I can make the product page full width so it uses the whole page instead of it being in the center?

Here’s a link to the screen shot https://ibb.co/Cz4vm2N

Hey Acquiring!

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

@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
  html body .container {
    max-width: 95%;
  }
}

Kind regards

Thank you for the timely response!!

You’re welcome, Acquiring :)

Cant find an instruction to make menu items non-clickable and color changing like here – https://themenectar.com/salient/ – when you hover mouse to portfolio menu the portfolio element is non clickable and elements like Project Styles & Portfolio Demos are changing color on hover. And also is it possible to make mega menu 100% width not 100% but 80%?

And the description font size in mega menu are edited only through css? If yes – then fine

Hey raffess,

1. That’s achieved that by setting the following rule:

#header-outer .no-link {
    pointer-events: none!important;
}

You can then add the class name “no-link” to any menu item desired: https://ibb.co/NCR6zfx

2. The mega menu can be set to full width in the Salient options > header navigation > dropdown/megamenu tab via the “Header Mega Menu Width” option.

3. You can specify a custom description font size in the Salient options > Typography tab via the “Off Canvas Navigation/Dropdown Description Text” field.

Please use the support forum in the future when asking multiple questions.

Kind regards

I have a very old version of the theme, back when the Envato plugin wasn’t a thing, and I’d like to update. Only issue is, I still have Visual Composer with my Salient Theme, and I’d like to keep all my current pages the same, but utilize the new Salient with WP Bakery to build new pages and possibly customize existing ones.

1. Can I buy a new license and update Salient without losing any styling/data on my current site?

2. Will WP Bakery be able to customize pages that have Visual Composer components?

Hey evtezcan,

Your old pages should still render correctly after updating. However, if you’d done any child theme customizations, those will likely need to be reworked to utilize the latest Salient templates/functions. If not, it should be fairly straight forward to update. I would recommend
  1. reading through this article before updating just so you’re clear on the major differences.
  2. Doing the update on a staging server before moving it live, just to see if you run into issues since you’re coming from a version that’s many years outdated.

Kind regards

Hi ThemeNectar,

I have successfully installed the Salient Theme on www.climatesolutionsparks.ca, installed and activated the necessary plugins but when I go to use the “Demo Importer” to upload the “Architect” demo it doesn’t appear to be working. I have let the demo installer run for over 2 hours and it remains at 1-3%.

See screenshot below: http://preview.themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266?_ga=2.257317579.1758921289.1681229185-499441270.1678295293

Am I doing something wrong, is there another way to upload the demo files? I have even install a new WordPress and still no luck.

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Hey evermaven,

I would need to see what error is being logged to your server during the import in order to assist further. Can you please open a ticket on the support forum in regards with the relevant error being added to your PHP error log?

Kind regards

Hello! Im very interested in this theme. 2 questions:

1. If i buy this theme, get i this URL as demo? https://themenectar.com/salient/

2. https://themenectar.com/salient/woocommerce-feature-overview/#ajax-cart can i make a custom scroll image (i think it called scroll stocked or something) like you do in the section with “Advanced product ratings, Category grids and Advanced product search” that you get changes on images without go down until you see all images. Like Apple effect. Is easy to customize or what?

thanks!!!

Hey GuanacosEstudio :)

1. That is not an importable demo, however most of the sections from that page have been added to the Salient studio template library, which means it would be fairly easy to recreate.

2. Yes, that’s created using the included Salient page builder element, “Sticky Media Sections”.

Kind regards

Hello, damanagerltd :)

Hello,

How to create a menu that will be exclusively visible on mobile please ?

Regards

Hey algo90,

There’s currently no built-in option to specify a different set of menu items to replace your regular menu on mobile only. However, that option is indeed being added into the next coming major release. If you’d like to test it out early, check back on the change log soon for when we open up the public beta: http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html

Kind regards

thank you very much for your fast answer. Great service

You’re welcome, algo90 :)

Hi,

Wanna know if this legacy plugin is being used by Salient.

Thanks

Hey toolbox101,

Salient does not load that polyfill.

Kind regards

Love the flip box, but any way to make it auto-rotate randomly? If I cant, can you point in the direction of how? custom javascript etc. Thank you. Love your Salient Theme.

Hey sbcarlos :)

Unfortunately, since there’s no class name change associated with the hover and that flip occurs from a regular CSS :hover pseudo, it would be tricky to trigger it via JavaScript. However, I’ve noted the idea to add such a class so that this would be possible.

Kind regards

Hi Salient team! How do I add a Global Section ABOVE the header/in the top-bar? I’d like to add things ranging from important announcements to phone numbers, language switcher, etc. Thanks!

Hey apinzon!

There’s currently no built-in option for that, so you would need to handle that through a child theme modification. However, I’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist :)

I do like salient theme pretty much , but damn, this junky wp bakery is just a past. With the design skills of your team you could provide something truly beautiful & modern with Elementor. There is no way Bakery could compete with Elementor. Just no way. It’s not even mile close to E. ‍

I mean, just look – there is no way such animation’s ( not speaking about Lottie pictures ) are even possible in wp bakery – the menu style – the scrolling speed – elements overlaying – page transition :-( https://swagapp.com/

Hey raffess,

That site you’ve shared does not appear to be using Elementor, but regardless, Elementor saves/renders elements in a fundamentally different method than WPBakery, and adding integration for it wouldn’t allow for any existing pages made in WPBakery to be edited via it—which would mean no backwards compatibility for existing sites using Salient. Because of that, if we integrated it, the Elementor version of Salient would essentially end up being a separate standalone product as there would be no overlap.

It’s worth noting that Salient also does already allow control over many of the points you’ve mentioned (page transitions, header styling, parallax scrolling elements) and we also offer unique elements and settings that are not found in Elementor. If you’d like specific assistance in replicating something, feel free to open a ticket on the support forum in regards.

Hello, how can I change left and right margins/website width on mobile to 95%?

The second thing: I just installed your the newest update but unfortunately I see that you didn’t implement tweak for properly working menu on mobile phones without artefacts and flashing. ;(

(I mean iOS phones)

Hey CreativePlace,

1. You can modify that by adding 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: 1000px) {
  body .container {
      max-width: 95%;
  }
}

2. That change is being included in the upcoming major release (v15.5), which is due out later in the month—It was too recent/large of a change to include in 15.0.9.

Kindly use the support forum in the future when posting multiple questions.

Cheers

Hi guys, I created a row with centered text. Then I created an Inner Row and then set the text alignment to “Left”. However, the contents in the Inner Row are still being centered. Can you please help? I need to create a row with multiple inner rows and columns, each with different text orientations. Can you please help? Thanks!

Hey apinzon!

I would suggest setting the text alignment only on your inner rows / columns rather than a specifying it on the parent as well. Is there a reason you don’t want to wrap the content in your row that would be centered in its own inner row?

If you need to keep the arrangement how it is, you can force that alignment by adding in the following CSS snippet:
.vc_row.inner_row > .span_12:not(center):not(.right) {
  text-align: left;
}

Kind regards

Hi guys, Is there an option to hide a row in the mobile version? I need to have another design for my portfolio mobile version.

Hey LuisVoronov,

You could hide the column that contains your content by using the responsive options tab in the column settings.

However, if you need to hide a parent row, you would have to give that row a special class name of “vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”

Kind regards

how can i force transparency header on 404 page?

Hey creativemotives,

You could use the following snippet in your child theme to force that: https://pastebin.com/hF5WDedw

Hi there, I am using Salient and WPML to translate my website. One thing I noticed is that there is no option to use a different logo per language, at least natively. Is there any chance that you will include such functionality in a future release?

Hey alfamarble,

You should be able to find those within WPML > String Translation. The fields would be referred to as:

logo
retina-logo
mobile-logo
header-starting-logo
header-starting-logo-dark

Kind regards

That worked! Thanks a lot and kudos to you for providing support from the comments.

Glad to help, alfamarble :)

Cheers

Hi. I think I saw this somewhere in the settings, but can’t remember where.
On one of my sites, when Page Header Title (manually entered) is longer than a certain number of characters, it automatically breaks into two lines of text. Basically, it only takes 1/3 of the width of the center of the header.
While on the other site, the page header title fits almost the entire width.
Thank you.

Good morning.
Here is the link. If I create Header Title longed than this one (SHOP ALL PRODUCTS), it will break up into two lines of text.
https://ageimmune.com/shop/
but doesn’t happen on this site.

Thanks atlantchiropractic,

You can modify that constrain on WooCommerce archives by adding the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:

body.woocommerce.archive #page-header-wrap .inner-wrap {
    max-width: none;
}

Thank you. But still interesting why it isn’t default like on the other site.

How do you edit the header buttons https://ibb.co/99drnbj i want to link this

Hey giveitwebstudios,

Those are regular menu links which will appear in your Appearance > Menus section of the WP admin—You just need to select the menu which contains the links.

If you’re interested in the styling options available for menu items, see the documentation here: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-menu-options/

Kind regards

Hi Themenectar! I am having issues after a theme update. When trying to make changes to my site pages, any trace of the visual composer is gone. Under Extra Content, “Visual” and “Text” appear similar so I am not able to make edits.

Hey asbundschuh! Have you already verified that no third-party plugins you may have active are causing the issue by temporarily disabled them? If so, please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regard.

Cheers

All major themes are providing slider pricing table on mobile. But your theme has still old style pricing layout on mobile. Please give slider pricing table in next updates. Thanks.

Hey AngelaLamHF,

I’m not sure I know what exactly you’re referring to. However, if you’d like to share an actual example I’d be glad to take a look :)

Kind regards

https://www.dropbox.com/s/tfn5s824euu205m/WhatsApp%20Image%202023-03-26%20at%2010.23.25.jpg?dl=0

You can see the columns don’t go under each other, instead it works like a slider.

Hey AngelaLamHF,

There’s no built-in option on the legacy “Pricing Table” page builder element itself to do that. However, you can create a custom pricing table using page builder elements and contain each section within a carousel item if you desire that functionality.

Kind regards
