Hey H0kus41, there has been the option to add the author, as well as multiple styling options for the author in the Post Loop builder (previously named Post Grid) since version 16.

Examples of that option being utilized can be seen in the latest demo.

Hey mahmoudy2k,

That demo is still available via the Demo Importer plugin: https://ibb.co/17pDXbX

If you’re not seeing it in your list, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards so that we can take a look.

Thanks in advance

Hey eugenjy, I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying Salient

Unfortunately there’s no built-in option to change that functionality, so it would require a modification to the main theme script (salient/js/*/init.js) at the “NectarWooCommerceCartAJAX” function.

However, you could also disable the AJAX functionality from the within WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Add to Cart Behavior to prevent that as well, if you don’t need the AJAX.

Kind regards

Hey dimage,

You can make that change by adding the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:

.off-canvas-menu-container.mobile-only .menu {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    gap: 20px;
}

Kind regards

Hi guys, another question. I never noticed this before, but is it possible to hide she “sociale share button” on portfolio pages? It’s called ‘nectar-social fixed visible’ I see in the code. Thanks!

Found it by disabling the plugin

Bonus question: How do I change the “back” in the Off Canvas Menu to “terug” (in dutch)?

Cheers!

Hey Mannaffolki, you can translate that string by using your desired translation plugin. See the documentation here in regards: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/translations/

Cheers

Awaiting reply for Ticket #3440590

Hey raffess, we responded to you on the support forum in regards.

Hey ESBertrand,

It looks you have the option enabled for “Full Width Header Content” in the Salient options > header navigation > layout & content related tab, so you header will always be a consistent distance from the edges of your screen, which won’t match the content area. If you want the header to match the same container as your content, you’ll need to disable that option or use CSS to constrain the header on mobile only.

Kind regards

Disabling the option brings the logo and buttons in from the left/right edges by 90px on desktop, which just doesn’t look so great. And it doesn’t fix the mobile issue either. It’s ok, we’ll just leave it; not a big deal, and we’d much prefer to have the header elements justified against the left/right edges.

When that option is disabled, the header should remain contained at the same edges as your content on both desktop and mobile. However, if you’d like to keep your header full width for desktop and contained on mobile, you could 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: 1000px) {
  body #header-outer[data-full-width=true] header > .container {
    max-width: var(--mobile-container-width);
    padding: 0;
  }
}

I’m glad you were able to sort it out, alandres

Cheers

Hello again.

I have a question regarding this: What would be the correct media query to apply only to mobile? Regardless of what brand and models they are.

Thank you so much.

Hey alandres,

The breakpoints that we use in Salient are 999 and 690, e.g.

@media only screen and (max-width: 999px) {

}
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {

}

Kind regards

Thanks a lot, ziadh7!

That page is not available through the demo importer, however, mostly all of the sections are available to add via the Salient Studio Template library. https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/

Cheers

Hey JackHowell, As of v16, Salient has built-in options to control which media sizes are registered. You can find them in the Salient options > General settings > Image Sizes tab. However, there are still 2 image sizes which are always used that you’ll need to remove via the filter method. There names are

portfolio-thumb
nectar_small_square

Kind regards

Perfect, thank you!

You’re welcome, JackHowell

Hey Micatuca,

Salient uses the default post title field for populating the title. I would need to see the posts you’re referring to in order to help troubleshoot. Kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards.

Cheers

Hey raffess,

There are no responsive font settings for the navigation. The font size for the off canvas menu can be specified separately via the typography tab though. Are you trying to alter your main menu item font size for smaller desktop viewports?

Figured it out. Set it by myself using custom css for needed viewports.

Hey raffess,

I would need to see the page URL with that snippet active so that I can take a closer look why it did not work for you. Could you kindly provide the page address?

Thanks in advance

Decided not to use it , but feature to use something as non clickable tags would be nice in future

Hey reganmcgregor,

Salient already supports displaying category descriptions under the product category heading title. ex. https://themenectar.com/salient/ecommerce-robust/product-category/accessories/

You can control the position of the category description via the option “Product Category Description” in the Salient options > WooCommerce > archive header tab.

Kind regards

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry, I should have been clearer.

Yes, I am aware that you can do that.

My issue is this only works if you upload a “Category Header Image” to the Category. The settings in the options panel are ignored without a background image and the description gets placed in the “Before Shop Loop” no matter what.

As per example 1. I would like the description under the product category heading without the need for there to be a background image. This gives users the option of a cleaner design and doesn’t require another image that could impact the page speed.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks

Hey reganmcgregor,

You can edit the page defined as your “Shop” page and set a “Page header background color”. This will trigger the same layout as when an image is used and you can get the ordering you’re looking for, without having to actually specify an image background.

Kind regards

Hey ND81, thanks for the request

Just final Question. Salient WP Bakery Builder isn’t good for responsive websites. So tell me if Salient theme supports Elementor or not? I wish to work on Salient Theme using Elementor builder. Reply Soon.

Hey rizwitzsolutions,

1. Salient has been consistently getting feature updates for over a decade.

2. If you are using Elementor, you won’t have access to any of the Salient elements. Your assertion that ‘Salient WP Bakery Builder isn’t suitable for responsive websites’ is inaccurate. Our builder incorporates a multitude of robust responsive features, which can be witnessed in action within the various responsive demos available.

1) Don’t agree with Point 2. As I have seen that its not good for responsive. U can’t disable a whole Row, like in elementor. U can’t appy custom css in all of elements. Like apply Custom css on Custom heading, but it will revert to old settings. So I don’t agree with U. 2) If lots of people are telling you to implement Elementor on your Theme, then I believe its a good reason to do it. Start listening to your consumers. After implementing Elementor to your Salient Theme, your download will increase definitely.

Hey bigpw, Salient v16 has been available for over a month without any reported issues of this nature. Since it sounds like you’ve run into a fatal error, you’ll be able to find further details on the root cause by checking your PHP error log on your server. Kindly reach out via the contact form on my author page with that error and your site URL so that I can take a look to assist.

There were no errors in the logs, only 200/300. I spent an hour following all the common troubleshooting advice, but in the end, the problem only went away when I upgraded to WordPress 6.3. I was avoiding this, as you state that your theme only supports 6.2.x?

Hey bigpw, Salient is also compatible with WP 6.3—Unfortunately, Envato has a bit of a lag in updating the list we’re allowed to choose from for software versions.

That being said, there are no known compatibility issues withWP 6.2 either. I would suspect something else occurred in your setup which caused the issue, but it would be hard to say what unless I was able to examine the setup itself. If you’d like to continue troubleshooting that with a staging server, feel free to open a ticket on the support forum in regards

Kind regards

You’re welcome, olidenson

BTW, i sent an email to you guys with a video showing how the carousels act strange when using the APPLE mouse. If we swipe left or right over our blog carousel, then it shoots us off to a post instead of swiping the carousel left or right.

If you check your emails, theres a video showing the issue. Hoepfully you can fix this. Most of opur team and clients are creatives, using apple computers, and ive had at least 6 report this issue to me. We love using the carousel for our posts, and dont want to change that, but with many people using the apple mouse, they intuitivly swipe the mouse, like we do on our phones, to navigate left and right.

Kindly, Oli

Hey Oli, sorry for missing that email!

I just reviewed the video and it appears as you you’re triggering the default back/forward page navigation multi touch gesture on the Magic Mouse. Unfortunately the carousel Library we use does not provide an option to override that core functionality and instead trigger a carousel swipe.

Hey toolbox101,

Thanks for mentioning that. It’ll be corrected in the next minor release

Cheers

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
