Hello, I translated this website from Italian to English with WPML but only for the homepage we can’t figure out why the “loop portfolio posts” shows on the left.

You can check it out in the English version -> https://www.w-tech.it/en/ It’s different only in this block from the Italian version

Thank you.

Hey innobrain,

There appears to be some malformed HTML markup occurring in that section which is causing the display. Kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards so that we can take a closer look to help out.

Thanks in advance

Hi, we have a lottie animation in the cover image of our homepage. mysterymonks.com

But this loads after the entire page has loaded. How to fix this?

Hey adiojack,

From first glance, I would suspect it’s the number of requests you have going on that page which is causing the delay in loading, since the Lottie script is loaded last. I would suggest lazy loading all of your images via the theme performance option, and reading through the performance guide.

Is it possible to hide a product from the main shop archive page but have it display everywhere else (category, search etc)?

Hey MarcGarner,

You could hide a product from the archives by using a snippet in your child theme functions.php such as https://https://pastebin.com/ryJAxhv1

Kind regards

Thanks but that link doesn’t seem to be working

Hey MarcGarner, I tested that snippet locally prior to commenting so I would really need to see your implementation / product ID(s) from the backend to assist further. Kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards.

Hey wantedconnect,

The URL you’ve shared is not using Salient.

Hi—How do I get my navigation to display regularly with a sticky header instead of being inside of a hamburger menu?

Also how do I add a back to top function in bottom right corner of my site globally?

This is my staging link https://staging3.jaysportfolio.com/

Hey JayCarver,

1. You can switch which location your menu is assigned to in Appearance > Menus in the “Manage Locations” tab: See docs here.

2. You can enable the “Back to top” button in the Salient options > general settings > functionality tab at the bottom.

Kind regards

Hi guys,

After updating the theme moments ago, all pages with exception of home are not showing a transparent header anymore, altough “force transparency” is still active on the theme’s backend. Is it a bug? Can you help me fix it? (my license is currently expired)

I don´t seem to have other issues besides this one.

Thank you

Hey josephhh,

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/cLyytcfm or alternatively disable the breadcrumb option.

Kind regards

If I go to edit the child theme on WP backend functions.php has the following:

<?php

add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘salient_child_enqueue_styles’, 100);

function salient_child_enqueue_styles() { }

$nectar_theme_version = nectar_get_theme_version();
    wp_enqueue_style( 'salient-child-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', '', $nectar_theme_version );
if ( is_rtl() ) {
       wp_enqueue_style(  'salient-rtl',  get_template_directory_uri(). '/rtl.css', array(), '1', 'screen' );
    }

?>

Should I add the snippet on row 15? (immeadiately before last row (”?>”)

Thanks

Hey josephhh,

Yes, you can add it in a line before the closing php tag

Kind regards

Does the Salient theme go on sale at any time of the year?

Hey mleite1, we do have sales around larger holidays such as Black Friday / New Year

Kind regards

Apart from a staging site is there any way to work on the mega menu as a draft without it being public?

Hey MarcGarner,

There is no built-in functionality to load an instance of the WP menu in isolation currently. However, you could utilize a conditional menu plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/conditional-menus/ to limit the display of your menu to admins.

Kind regards

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
