Hi! I´m using the mega menu but I would like to use a separate menu for mobile. Is it possible? Thanks in advance!

Hey vivraestudio!

As of v16, you can specify to use a separate menu for mobile via the option labeled “Off Canvas Menu Separate Mobile Menu” in the Salient options panel > Header navigation > Off canvas menu by using the option.

Kind regards

This is a fantastic theme! Quick question on your minimal-portfolio theme is there any way to swith of the upload date from the main page thumbnails? So that the dates are not there? Only titles remain

as per this screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/8iCNH5i

Thanks

Hey StrawMaker, I’m glad you’re enjoying Salient :)

You can disable that in the Salient options panel > Portfolio > Archive tab via the option labeled “Display Dates on Projects”

Cheers

that worked like a charm :) thank you so much and keep up good work.

Thank you!

You’re welcome, StrawMaker :)

Hi,

I’d like to report a small bug.

When using Material skin > Slide Out from Right

The X icon disappears on mouse hover; see screenshot here – > https://imgur.com/a/P6lqwPO

The other icons work fine.

Hope this gets fixed soon. Also, can you please add X icon support to fontawsom?

Can we also get a new simple menu? There are a lot of fancy ones, but only 1 simple menu. It would be great to have an alternative to be used on corporate-style websites.

Thanks

Hey toolbox101,

1. I can’t replicate that issue locally. Have you cleared all forms of cache in your setup since doing the update which includes the icon? If so, please share your URL in regards.

2. Thanks for the request :)

Hello! Is there a way to configure the posts display order (Ex. Ascending, Descending) for just one specific Blog Category Archive page?

If not, then I know I can make custom archive pages using the Post Loop Builder, but then how would I make these default category archive pages that the category names link to?

Many thanks in advance!

One more question, is there a way to replace a Category Archive page with a custom page? meaning the category links should link to the new one from anywhere on the site.

Hey mousemediainteractive,

That would require modifications to the index.php template via a child theme as of now.

Kind regards

Ok, I’m interested in learning more and how to accomplish thiis. We’re using a child theme.

Hello team!

I wanted to know if on a page where I call all the news entries (blog) can I add a search engine? only on that page If it is possible, with what module or element can I do it?

Thank you.

Hey alandres!

That would require some custom development as of now through a child theme. However, I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist.

Kind regards

Hello!! So, and we have to do it with widget on sidebar? and using element sidebar on the page where I following the blog?

Thank you.

Hey alandres,

If you only need the search functionality to appear in the sidebar, then yes, you can add the search widget to your blog via the Appearance > Widgets to the “Blog Sidebar” widget area. Just ensure you’ve selected a sidebar enabled blog layout in the Salient options > Blog tab via the “Blog Type” option.

Hello, on portfolio gallery pages, suddenly every image must load before any are shown on the page. This makes it look like there is nothing on the page for about 20 sec before the images pop in. It just started behaving this way and didn’t used to do this. Was there a change or did I accidentally set something wrong?

Hey cophoto,

There was no change implemented that would cause that functionality. Could you please open a ticket on the support forum in regards so that we can take a look at your URL?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I would like to report an issue that our customers are facing when attempting to log in for the first time after setting their password via the email link. Currently, users are encountering a two-step password entry process, which can be confusing and frustrating. Here is the problem breakdown, step by step:

  1. After setting their password via the link in the welcome email, users are redirected to the login page.
  2. When they try to log in from the same page, they receive the same error message, preventing them from accessing their dashboard. They are then required to re-enter their password.
  3. Only after entering the password again are they finally able to access their dashboard.
  4. We would like to address this issue by removing the second password entry step during the initial login. Customers should be able to log in directly after setting their password via the email link, without having to enter it again.

    We kindly request your assistance. Should you require any further information or clarification regarding this issue, please do not hesitate to contact me.

    Sincerely,

    Louis

Hey Louis,

Salient does not add any functionality related to the process of user creation or the login page. I would suspect something else in your setup is causing that issue. Have you verified that no performance plugins or caching services you may have in your setup might be caching that page?

Kind regards

Hi,

Thank you for your response. We will explore other options to address this issue!

Kind regards, Louis

You’re welcome, Louis :)

Is there ​a way to display a gallery grid (meta on hover w/ zoom + entire thumb link) but with no hover effects whatsoever? So no color overlay and no zoom? Just to click an image to open the lightbox. This can be a CSS because I want it to be for all gallery image grids throughout the site. Thank you!

Hey nikobruggemans,

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:

#ajax-content-wrap .portfolio-items .col .work-info-bg {
   display: none;
}

#ajax-content-wrap .portfolio-items .col:hover img {
  transform: none;
}

Kind regards

Hi, For a List Item, I want to be able to determine the color for the icon holder and the icon itself. How can I accomplish this on a per-icon basis? Thanks!

Hey apinzon,

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:

.nectar-icon-list > div:nth-child(1) .list-icon-holder i:before {
  color: #ff0000;
}
.nectar-icon-list > div:nth-child(2) .list-icon-holder i:before {
  color: #4514ff;
}

Kind regards

Feature Suggestion: Hi Team, I know there is a setting in the backend “Blog” – “Functionality” “Post Date Functionality” to select published date or last edited. Would be great if another option was added where i could select the published date, however when I update a post (which happens from time to time) to select to show a small button stating “recently updated” or something similiar.

Hey timtimtim,

Thanks for the request :)

Hi,

I’m creating a Saas startup that features chatbot support, which will be only available for users with a paid membership plan. I”m using a WP plugin for the chatbot.

My queries are -

1. Do I need to buy a separate membership plugin for this to work with your theme? If so, which one is recommended.

2. For after-login pages, how/can I use the theme builder? This is right now crucial for me. For instance, I need my after-login pages will be – A Dashboard Page – A Blog Page – A Knowledge Base Page – A page where Chatbot will appear. – A page for User Profile where they can change their profile picture/password. – A Page for Membership Details info. (so, I’ll need a login/signup page as well)

3. Do I need the Elementor Pro version?

4. Do you have any google pagespeed insights score screenshots to share?

5. The key concern is I”m not a tech-guy. So, I do need to accomplish the project without needing to touch code, at least initially. Can I rely on the functionalities to work with my requirements?

Hey ybh740852,

1/2. Salient does not have built-in membership support, so you would need a plugin for that functionality

3. Salient is not based on Elementor. We used a customized version of WPBakery.

4. Yes, there’s a link to those directly on the main promo page of Salient: http://themenectar.com/salient

5. Salient is focused on a no-code experience. However, since you’re looking to implement functionality that doesn’t exist in the theme you may need custom development if you can’t implement it all via a plugin.

Kind regards

Hi,

I need to add a blog post type that looks like this: https://squareup.com/us/en/press/new-revenue-streams

I would use this for press releases, while using the other formats for my Blog, for instance. The decision for which template to use could be either the a post type or a post category, but would like to know your feedback/advice.

How can I accomplish this?

Thanks!

Hey apinzon,

Salient provides the option to customize typography for the single post layout, including settings for a constrained width. However, if you use the blog post type and create a category for your press releases, the same styles will apply to all your categories. If you want to maintain a distinct style for press releases only, you can achieve this by either using custom CSS or by creating your own post type and designing the necessary template.

Kind regards

Hello there! Thank you for replying my previous question! One more thing: Could you let me know how to change “out of stock” text? I searched for your previous answers but the links you provided has expired about this subject.

Hey Orhangok!

You can use a free translation plugin in order to alter that, or any other WooCommerce text: https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-localization/#section-5

Kind regards

Hello!

First of all, I am really impressed with this theme; it’s so robust and beautiful with an outstanding feature set. I am excited to try it for the first time.

Before purchasing I had a question about what’s possible with the theme. I am including a reference website that’s not built by wordpress, I just have it as an HTML file, but hopefully it will be illustrative

I am looking to mimic this closely: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dhk1onub9jw1wtv/salient%20theme%20pre-purchase%20q.mov?dl=0

1) For the home page only or for pages featuring full screen content only – Transparent header navigation until the user scrolls further down on the page. I am thinking something like upload a logo that’s empty/transparent png for a transparent state and then to define a non-transparent state with a cream background/dark logo.

2) Left side off-canvas menu that’s similar to the above? I see you have a split screen off-canvas menu here – https://themenectar.com/salient/nonprofit/. Is it possible to show the navigation links on the right side, leave the other side empty and change the color of the two containers? (Just asking in terms of the whether it’s possible to change the navigation side from left to right and the div structure of the split screen containers; I know I’d need to figure out the java script changes as that seems beyond the scope of support).

3) My website will need to have a language selector for Translate Press. Is it possible to put that either next to the hamburger icon or in the off canvas menu under the navigation links. Is that technically feasible/possible?

Sorry for the long message and thank you for reading!

Hey estojchevska :)

1. You can set the logo to be hidden prior to scrolling, however, the main difference is that the secondary logo will be revealed as soon as you scroll rather than waiting until you pass the first section.

2. Yes, just open a ticket on the support forum in regards

Cheers

Thanks again for the response. Understood! So without significant modifications and asking someone outside of your team to modify it, there is no way to delay the navigation by the height of another row/block.

That’s correct, estojchevska.

Kind regards

hi on the Header Box Shadow (large with bottom line) can this line be thicker and in red color?

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:

body #header-outer[data-box-shadow=large-line] {
 box-shadow: 0 0 2px rgba(255,0,0,1), 0 18px 40px rgba(0,0,0,0.045);
}
Kind regards

Hi, is it possible to implement a 360° product view (mouse to rotate)?

Hey Shingaz,

There’s no built-in functionality to do that, however you might be able to utilize an existing WP plugin to add that feature. e.g. https://codecanyon.net/item/smart-product-viewer-360-animation-plugin/6277697?ref=topdevs

Kind regards

Hi, is there any info yet when it will be compatible for wordpress 6.3.x?

Hey ganzrund,

Salient is already compatible with WP 6.3, ThemeForest just doesn’t have that as a listed version for us to select from for the product description yet.

Kind regards

Hello. Is it possible to make multiple websites with this plugin or is this only for one website?

For an example, if I wish to make websites for my customer, is one license enough or should they all be bought separately to work? Cheers.

Hey 8jvhdvnmzcm,

You will need a license for each website you build using the theme. You can review the license here: https://themeforest.net/licenses/standard

Kind regards

Why this theme is not suitable for Elementor? Elementor is now the most popular page builder plugin. I don’t understand why Salient uses the wpbakery plugin instead of Elementor. Elementor is now the world’s most popular page builder. Other side wpbakery is old, boring, and less available of addons and templates in the market.

Hey shahab2001uddin,

Salient has existed for years prior to the creation of Elementor and offers a collection of elements, features, and templates tailored specifically for our own page builder. It’s important to note that our page builder differs significantly from the standard WPBakery, as it includes a heavily extended feature set. Characterizing it as “old” or “boring” doesn’t align with the continuous development efforts we’ve invested in it over the past 10 years.

Seamlessly integrating all our existing components into Elementor would essentially entail creating an entirely new product. If you have a preference for Elementor, we would recommend choosing a theme designed specifically for that page builder in the market.

1. How do we change the default Shop and Category header image?: https://cdn.zappy.app/4d84f2802fe04e285c18a76040ab4552.jpeg

2. Where do we add widgets to the Single Product sidebar? I can’t find the sidebar anywhere in the backend: https://cdn.zappy.app/f99cd2ceffd11cbd0ae11cb1f7cd1e27.jpeg

Hey pipelinedigital,

1. Salient does support the use and display of the product category “description” field. An example of that being utilized can be found on the eCommerce robust demo.

Similar to your other question related to the sidebar not displaying, I would need to inspect your actual setup in order to help further since this isn’t a known issue.

2. The “Woocommerce Sidebar” widget location is the one utilized for the single product template. You can confirm this in salient/sidebar.php. Since that’s not working in your setup, I would need to take a closer look at your actual site in order to assist further. Please open a ticket on the support forum in regards

Thanks in advance

1. Looking at the side-by-side comparison of your page​, and my page​. You can see the description text “test” displayed in the wrong area, where it should actually be under the main heading. https://cdn.zappy.app/11417c73b14c3da91cddbedad430e7ae.jpeg

2. We do have the Woocommerce Sidebar, but this only displays on Shop and Category pages, not product pages. And product pages should have it’s own sidebar..

1. You can adjust the location of the category description output in the Salient options panel > WooCommerce > Archive Header tab: https://ibb.co/MZhjYKx

2. The WooCommerce sidebar widget area is setup to display on both the archives as well as the single product page. I would need to take a closer look at your setup in order to help troubleshoot why that’s not occurring. Kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards
