Can you show publish dates on the module: Blog, Magazine Hero Section? Right now I only see it on the big post to the left.

Hi! I added your demo importer that helped me a lot. I think your theme is great, and support also!

Here is the beta http://beta.nordigt.se/

And when you look. Can’t I show the dates on blogs in the archive? It is set to show in the setting in the blog archive loop. And can’t I change how many posts is in the category before pagination? And can I change the pagination to “load more”

http://beta.nordigt.se/category/design/

Sorry for all the questions.

And one more question…. Sorry.

I tested to add a YouTube video. But it has the wrong size on mobile until you scroll (iPhone 13 pro). It has the wrong size on desktop also, but just for a sec. But if I can fix that as well it would be great!

Hey AlexanderMJ :)

1. That is a known issue that occurs when only adding the date for display without including any other meta options (such as estimated reading time or author information). It will be corrected in the next minor release

2. The number of posts shown on your blog archive is controlled in Settings > Reading via “Blog pages show at most”

3. There is currently no option to use the load more functionality in archives at this time.

4. That’s occurring from the Delay JavaScript execution option (Salient options > performance tab). You can either disable the option or add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:

.featured-media-under-header__featured-media .video iframe {
    aspect-ratio: 16/9;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}

Kindly open a ticket on the support forum going forward when posting multiple questions, as this general comment area is not the correct location for in-depth support.

Thanks in advance

HI, I’m very intresting in buy this theme, but I have a question: I have to buy every here or it’s one time?

Hey stellabarilari,

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

Hi, ThemeNectar

Please, is it possible to assign a different menu to the sidebar/mobile version , other then replicating the top/header main menu automatically?

Thank you very much.

I mean, have the Off Canvas Menu showing a different menu. Thank you.

Hey dummy123,

You can utilize the option “Off Canvas Menu Separate Mobile Menu” in the Salient options panel > Header navigation > Off canvas menu tab, which was added in v16 and is available if you’re not using the off canvas menu on desktop.

If you are also using the off canvas menu for desktop, it would require custom modifications through a child theme or the use of a plugin such as Conditional Menus.

Kind regards

I have a question. Can I use the blog to have image/youtube, headline, excerpt link to whole blog post? When I look at your demos it looks like it just is images and videos are inside the blog post. Thanks

Hey AlexanderMJ,

You would need to use the “Classic” Blog type in the Salient options > Blog tab to be able to show directly embedded videos in the archive template. e.g. https://themenectar.com/salient/frostwave/blog-masonry-fullwidth/

Kind regards

Pre-purchase questions: Does the theme include the main demo page? “Beautiful websites with less work?”

Hey frosignolo,

That page is not an importable demo, however, you can import the various sections which make up the page by utilizing the Salient Studio Template Library.

Kind regards

I can’t install from 15.X to 16.X. “The link you followed has expired. Please try again.” I did have wp fully updated but then I rolled it back to 6.2 bc I thought maybe it was that. I updated the max upload in cpanel and I enabled zip extension uploads per the max upload plugin recommendations. And I have tried uploading v16 at each step along the way with no luck. I also break the site completely when I toggle the responsive text feature off in the salient options. Found that out when trying to get the html specific typography edited for a smaller h1. I can’t can’t it with the responsive test setting to the typography settings. And I purged cache too. I had a recent conflict with the pagespeed plugin so I had to disable that also. It cause my site to break and have a bunch of strange characters only like questions marks and such.

Hey Rhonda8181,

1. The error “The link you followed has expired” will only occur when there are insufficient PHP settings. Besides editing your maximum upload size, did you also verify that the other settings listed in the documentation are all sufficient? We would really need to see your site setup to assist further. However, you can also always update manually via SFTP by uploading the extracted theme to your themes directory.

2. There is no known issue with the Responsive Typography theme option causing breaking changes when disabled, and I’m not sure which method you were unable to override it with before attempting to deactivate it. For instance, were you using one of the responsive settings on elements or trying to write custom CSS?

Kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards so that we can follow up and assist.

when will wordpress 6.3 be supported?

Hey urabogados, Salient already supports WP 6.3. Unfortunately, Envato does not currently have the option to select that as a supported version in the description yet.

Kind regards

HI! In which file can I find and modify the function that estimates the reading time? TY

Hey sipeople, that function is called “nectar_estimated_reading_time” and is salient/nectar/helpers/blog.php

Kind regards

Hi, I hope you’re well. Please take a look at the “swiveling” items under “What you get” headline at https://elevatorspeechtraining.com/. I would like to make it so that the front text is more centered on mobile. Right now it’s all sqished up against the top as you can see in this screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/vsths85pl5gewnbdwnmrz/2023-10-05_21-35-15.png?rlkey=whr0vb0awzhr3jmp73heof5t0&dl=0

Hey Marc!

It looks like your custom CSS rule which is added to the page via the WPbakery CSS box is causing that alignment issue. The rule I’m referring to is:

 .nectar-flip-box[data-flip-direction=horizontal-to-left] .flip-box-front, .nectar-flip-box[data-flip-direction=horizontal-to-left] .flip-box-back {
            background-size: contain;
            background-repeat: no-repeat;
        }

You can correct that by wrapping it in a media query to make it only take effect on desktop like so:

@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
 .nectar-flip-box[data-flip-direction=horizontal-to-left] .flip-box-front, .nectar-flip-box[data-flip-direction=horizontal-to-left] .flip-box-back {
            background-size: contain;
            background-repeat: no-repeat;
        }
}

Cheers

Great. It works. Thanks as always.

You’re welcome, marcfest :)

A little request.

Can we get a Google Map/Pin icon for the social media section? So these can be used in the header and footer?

Handy to have, the current Google one just outputs a big G (Guess that’s from when Google+ was a thing!)

Hey jbennett360,

I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist :)

Kind regards

Thanks :)

You’re welcome, jbennett360 :)

Hi ThemeNectar, i’m looking for a tutorial to create the same “What’s New” drop down menù in your salient theme page. Some one can help me? Thank you

Hey MANTHEA,

Each menu item is utilizing the Salient menu options > Menu Item settings to add the styling. These menu options are covered in the documentation here: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-menu-options/#:~:text=A%20breakdown%20of%20the%20menu%20options

Specifically check out the Menu Item tab within the settings.

woocommerce duplicate product issue when we activate salient core plugin all good

Hey CharlesSmith888, since there’s no known issues with products becoming duplicated when Salient is active, we would need further information on recreating that issue as well as information on your setup. Please open a ticket on the support forum in regards with your site URL as well as more details on what you’re experiencing.

I purchased the them and I downloaded the e-commerce demo. But it did not download the woo commerce and products page. Isn’t that a part of it? How can I get the sample products to download (the ones that show up on the demo version)

Hey mmkdesigns, You’ll need to install & activate WooCommerce prior to importing any eCommerce demos in order to get the products added during the demo import.

If you already had WooCommerce active, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards so that we can take a look at your setup to assist.

Thanks in advance

Hi ThemeNectar,

Is it possible to set gradient background color in the header for different pages like the Mag demo. https://themenectar.com/salient/mag/category/career/

For example when you click on Career menu, the background header is (gradient) green, Design page is blue, and Tech page is yellow. Can this be done for pages just like the Mag demo categories.

Thanks

Hey dbenno,

The new category gradient styling is only available for the blog at the moment, but it could be applied to regular pages with custom CSS. If you’d like assistance with that, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards

How can i import different elements from different demos to build an eshop?

Hey joannaritsoni,

Salient is not built for Elementor, but rather our own version of the WPBakery page builder.

You’re welcome, joannaritsoni :)

Any way to integrate Google Search Console. Cant find anything in documentation. Thanks.

Hey timtimtim,

Here’s an article that covers the various methods for integration.

Kind regards

You’re welcome, timtimtim :)
