Hi there, is it possible to use portfolio with the following request: main portfolio page is showing All sortable items main categories (cat 1, 2, 3 etc). When I click on one of the main categories I go to the next page and will see all sub-categories (for ex. 1a, 1b, 1c etc.). When I click one of the subs I go to the next page with all sub cat. items (1a OR 1b OR 1c etc.). If it needs some custom code I can provide a new license key.
Hey Mikel2020,
You would need to manually create links for those categories if you wish to lead to a new page where another instance of the portfolio would be displayed—There’s no built-in functionality within the element to do that
Hi guys,
Firs of all huge congrats on an incredible theme !
I had one pre-sale question : is it possible to use the beautiful intro page of the Agency Demo with another full demo (Architecture for instance) ?
I want to use the Architecture Demo, but I love the introduction page of the Agency demo…
Is it possible ?
Thank you so much in advance for your answer.
Hey ritamjahed, thanks a lot!
Yes, you can import multiple demos and then mix and match the pages together as desired 
Kind regards
Hi after the last update I am only seeing HTML in the Text Block and not the normal visual editor any ideas?
Hey insightdesignstudio, the visual mode should still be available. If you’ve verified that no third plugins you may have active in your setup are causing that issue, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards
Just a bug report… We were creating a masonry-style image gallery, but the images did not appear on the page, and we noticed a jQuery error in the console. Installing and activating the Salient Portfolio plugin seems to fix the error, but we typically don’t need the features from that plugin. This is on Salient v16.0.5
Hey speedsquare, that could occur if you are also using the “Move jQuery to Footer” performance option, or another third-party performance option to defer jQuery—I’ve noted to take a closer look into that for the next minor release.
Kind regards
It was that Performance option. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for confirming, speedsquare
Cheers
Hello once again. Just interesting – is it possible to add in salient smooth page scrolling like here https://cuberto.com/ ?
Smooth scrolling plugin from wordpress directory did the trick )))
No it did not (
Hey raffess, There’s currently no option to integrate a custom scrolling function like that in Salient, but I’ve noted your interest on the wishlist
Hey I would like to create the effect whereby when the mouse hover over an image, the image turns into another image. How do i do it?
Hey chsa11,
The only element in Salient that will allow for 2 images swapped on hover would be the flip box: https://themenectar.com/salient/elements/flip-box/
Kind regards
Thank you for your reply!
How can I add a “date” on my page that updates every day it refreshes according to the timezone im in? thank you!
Hey chsa11!
Unfortunately, Salient does not provide an element that could handle that functionality. You would need to either add a snippet to register a shortcode for that in your child theme. Or install a plugin which adds that functionality such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-for-current-date
Kind regards
On the Post Loop element, is it possible to ‘Order’ by ‘Custom’ post list. (I’d prefer to Drag N Drop the wp post list into the order I want them to appear rather than use Date or Last Modified.
Hey kford,
When using a plugin to order your posts via drag and drop, such as post types order, the post loop builder should already respect that order when leaving the default orderby active (date). If you’re not seeing that occur, kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards.
Hello, Please I was hired to take over from a previous designer who refused to release the access to the envato account where I can open a ticket. I am trying to change the hover text color of Header Button with Animated Extra Color Gradient from black to white but didn’t find where to do it. Please help.
See screenshot here: https://ibb.co/ctjTyPQ
I really love your theme and I am considering purchasing my own license but for the sake of this project, please help with either where to customize or css code to make this change.
Thanks
Hey oltimal,
You can adjust that color by setting your “menu item text coloring” to “custom coloring” in your menu options: https://ibb.co/NLZytGW
Kind regards
I did already and it still didn’t affect it. However, when I changed the Header Dark Text Color to white (At the Transparent Header Effect), it worked but then, all the navigation menu text color on transparent header all turned to white causing another problem.
https://ibb.co/MGyG8h4 https://ibb.co/3yxTQyFI only want it to affect only the Header Button with Animated Extra Color Gradient.
Please help look into this
I guess this is happening because I want the change on a Transparent Header and the background of the page is also white. We used the Saas template. I can’t also change the main navigation menu hover color on transparent.
Hey oltimal, please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards with your existing license information so that we can try to verify your purchase based on your previous design information.
Bit of an odd question – but is there any way to hide a page section if a specific product is added to the cart?
Example: If Product ID 123 is in cart hide Section #456.
Hey Andrew_McNelis,
That would require a snippet in your child theme. Essentially, you would need to check what products are in your cart, and then output a CSS rule to hide the section if the product is found to be added in your cart.
Kind regards
Hi, is there a way to disable the category header image overlay? by default it looks like its set to an opaque black but we’d like to remove the overlay if possible!
Cheers
Hey Micatuca!
Adding the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab should remove that:
body.archive .page-header-bg-image:after {
display: none;
}
Kind regards
We’re using the new post loops element. Is there a way to have the posts display aligned left when there’s only one rather than centred? See part way down – https://www.foodieflavours.com/shop/flavours/chocolate-2/organic-peppermint-extract/
Hey MarcGarner,
You would need to change from the “carousel” mode to the “grid” mode to get that functionality as of now. However, I’ve noted the idea to add alignment options for the carousel in that scenario.
Kind regards
I’ve updated yesterday to v.16. since the update none of the sites show transparent navigation even though it’s forced. The homepage works somehow. What happened with the update?Whats the fix?
Update: Upon overwriting the theme with an older 15.1.1 version, the bug is gone
Hey csergemedia,
If you’re using Yoast and have the breadcrumb feature enabled, that will now override the transparent header effect option. This change was added because, in most setups, the breadcrumbs were appearing under the header navigation while the transparent header effect was still active. You can opt to remove that by using the following snippet in your child theme functions.php file: https://pastebin.com/40EUTQ9P
Kind regards
@ThemeNectar Thanks a lot! another possible Solution is to open the Yoast plugin, go to Settings -> Advanced -> Breadcrumbs and uncheck the box.
You’re welcome, csergemedia
Cheers
Hi,
My website auditpartnersafrica.com is currently showing some error messages. Can you please look into it for me? The admin login page is also showing FATAL ERROR.
Thank you
Hey Prince_Appiah,
That issue would only show if you upgraded your version of PHP to 8.0+ and have not updated Salient in a while. V14 of Salient added PHP 8 compatibility a couple of years ago (the current release is v16.0.5) https://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html
You can update Salient using any of the methods described in the documentation here.
Noted. Thanks
You’re welcome, Prince_Appiah
Theme constantly has issues and breaks. only 6 months of support is not fair. I feel ripped off.
Hey knightrider1, An active support license is not required for reporting a bug, if you suspect you’ve identified an issue with the theme.
Salient is consistently maintained, and updates are provided for free. I have not come across any prior emails from your username or any comments that document what you’re referring to. However, feel free to reach out via the contact form on my author page if you’d like to report a problem.
Kind regards
Hi, is it possible to link to a specific tab on a page using row id? I’d like to link to the 4th tab of 6 tabbed content. essentially the 4th page of my tabbed content. Thanks
Hey tricks28,
Can you kindly share your page URL so that I can take a look at your tabbed settings to provide the correct guidance?
Thanks in advance
Hi, I’d like to link to the content on the last tab “Accomodation & Logistics” on this page: https://nicola.devlabs.co.za/2023-conference/
Hey tricks28,
You can link directly to tabs by adding tab=tab-name in your URL e.g. https://nicola.devlabs.co.za/2023-conference/?tab=enhancing-our-sustainabilitiyHowever, you’ll need to remove the & sign from your tab name if you wish to link to Accommodation & Logistics, as that will prevent the linking behavior to finding the tab.
Kind regards
Can’t find out how to make CTA BUTTON non clickable. Adding # to link section just sends me on top of site. I like some CTA animations and want to use CTA buttons like tags or bullet points, but also want them to be non clickable.
Hey raffess, you could set a custom class name on the CTA e.g. “no-pointer-events” and then adding the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
.no-pointer-events {
pointer-events: none;
}
Kind regards
Tried it & this one kills hover animation in CTA button
Hey raffess,
As long as you’re not using the “text reveal wave” or “curved arrow” style, you should be able to have the animation persist if you change the rule to:
.no-pointer-events .link_text {
pointer-events: none;
}
Still sends me on top of the site if i set # (anchor links are available on my site) in link section or reloads the page if i leave link section blank. Same happening if i edit css via browser in main salient pages out of my site.
The only solution i found way so far – if i set ## (double hashtags) in link section of CTA button – it doesnt do anything, but still in the bottom left corner of my browser (firefox) i can see that this hover action was made for link clicking.
Hello team! The footer part does not appear, I have it as a global section, I have followed the steps to design it and that it affects the entire web, but it still does not appear.
You can see, the link
Thank you
Solved!
Because of this, I have a doubt. Can I create several footers for different pages?
Hey alandres!
There is no conditional option built in to limit the display a global section to a specific page ID currently, however you could handle that via a filter in your child theme. If you’d like further assistance with that, kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards
Cheers
Thanks team!! great job.
You’re welcome, alandres
Hi, I would like to use new demos. But I cannot see and import new demos on Salient Demo Importer. And I got to know that I should update that Salient Demo Importer ver1.4 to ver 1.6 but I cannot update that plugin. I cannot see any sign to update that plugin on plugin menu. Please tell me what I should do in order to use new demos.
Hey jae1you, the update for the Salient demo importer will show as available as long as you’re on the latest version of Salient (v16+). https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/
Kind regards
What if I wanted to apply a “Tooltip” as a hover over the text? Technically you have it built but just for an image see https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-overview/ and I’d like it if you could wishlist functionality just like https://getshortcodes.com/ docs/tooltip/ – I don’t want to use another plugin because of one small functionality. Thanks!
Hey romankac,
There is no general built-in functionality to call a tooltip over static text in at this time. However, I’ve noted your idea for the wishlist
Kind regards
“FancyBox 3 Theme Lightbox” not working with arrows (to browse all photos in the gallery/post without Guttneberg) into the gallery https://www.romankacerek.cz/novy/5-uzitecnych-tipu-a-triku-chrome/ ? Also enabled “Auto Lightbox Image Links”. Using PHP 8.2 (tested in 8.1 too) and WP 6.3. Thank you
Hey romankac,
Your photos will only be placed in a Lightbox gallery and utilize the left/right arrows if you use the Salient Image Gallery element or legacy WP gallery element. However, I’ve noted to also trigger that behavior for the Gutenberg gallery block in the near future.
Kind regards
I created a WP gallery (the number of columns does not matter) in the classic posts editor. However, on the frontend, only the current image is displayed bigger in the lightbox and there are not right/left arrows.I also tried disabling all plugins. Same result.Check it out for yourself at https://www.romankacerek.cz/novy/test/
Hey romankac, feel free to reach out via the contact form on my author page if you’d like early access to the compatibility fix prior to the next minor release.
Kind regards
I’m using the Product E-commerce skin but want to switch to Ecommerce-Robust skin. I find it easier to install the demo then update the demo pages to my liking but what are some best practices to change the skin on my existing site? I would like it to match the Ecommerce-Robust layout and font stylings, etc. Thank you!
Hey ehong33234,
You could opt to import the “Theme Option Settings” only if you didn’t want the full demo: https://ibb.co/HrKSvJj
However, if you’re interested in getting the pages associated with the demo, you’ll need to also tick the box for “Demo Content”.
Your existing content will remain after doing the import, however, the next content will be imported.
Kind regards
If I do this and it messes up the site, can I just go back and import the previous “theme option settings only” to revert back to the previous design or what do you recommend I do as a precaution?
Hey ehong33234,
You can export your current theme options in the Salient options > Import/Export tab. This way you can always import them back in to revert.
Kind regards
