Hi there, Thanks for the best theme. Quick one – how can I make a background video just play once and not loop? https://www.wildcolour.net/home/

Hey richardwells,

There’s no option to set that via the background layer by default. However, you could use a self hosted video player element to get that functionality inside of an inner row which is absolutely positioned to act as a background for the parent row. If you’d like assistance creating that setup, Please open a ticket on the support forum in regards

Thanks

You’re welcome, richardwells :)

how to add the checkout feilds in the “style_slide_in_click” layer that is visible when we add an item to the cart. Basically we want on page checkout.

Hey AngelaLamHF,

There’s no built-in functionality to assist in adding a full checkout inside of that area. It would require custom development through your child theme—the cart template file is located at “html/wp-content/themes/salient/woocommerce/cart/mini-cart.php”

Kind regards

hello again, is there a way to import portfolios via csv? Just title, description and any possible categories+attributes I created…. Do you have a sample csv file?

yes I’m aware about how to import, I just wondered if Salient had a sample csv to map the portfolio in particular, because I don’t see any possibility to assign authors to the single portfolio items (in my case, I use the portfolio as “books” and I need to add writers/publishers to each one, so that users can click on a writer and see all its books… but I don’t think that using “tags” is the right path).
I’d appreciate your tips about this. thanks

adding up, I think there’s a bug: I enabled WpBakery for Global Sections and it didn’t show the backend editor anymore (just text). So I went to enable it for all custom types, and though the backend is working I still get some pages not showing up in frontend (for instance single portfolio).

Hey Eluvial,

1. The two taxonomies that Salient registers for the Portfolio post type are “project-attributes” and “project-type”. You could utilize either of those to associate your writers with each project.

However, if you want to automatically have a link to those from the single portfolio template, you would need to add that programmatically from a child theme by utilizing one of the available action hooks in the template, such as “salient_portfolio_hook_single_before_content” see “html/wp-content/plugins/salient-portfolio/includes/frontend/single-portfolio.php”

2. Since there’s no known issue with pages not displaying on the frontend, we would need to see your setup to assist further. Kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards

I am using this Demo http://themenectar.com/salient/one-page and I would like to add a phone number and book now button next to header menu like you have it at this demo https://themenectar.com/salient/architect/ how do I go by doing that?

Hey visualpaint,

You can use the Salient menu options on your menu item to add a button style and an icon: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/header-button-links/

Kind regards

Thank you

You’re welcome :)

Hi, just me AGAIN! How can I turn off the next post option in the blog section please?

You’re welcome, djandygriff :)

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:

@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
  .nectar-post-grid[data-grid-item-height][data-masonry] > div:last-child {
     display: none;
   }
}

Hi there, do I need to adjust this code to fit properly as I’ve just copied into my css but still it shows 9 posts but I need it to show 8.

Hey djandygriff,

I currently am not seeing that CSS snippet added into page. Can you kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards with temporary admin access so that we can take a closer look into the setup?

Thanks in advance

Hi, is there a way to get social share to buttons at the bottom of each blog post? I’m using different Salient blog features throughout my page that all link back to categories and just want a share to social set of buttons?

Found it thanks!

Hey djandygriff, I’m glad you were able to locate the options :)

Cheers

Hi there, for new client I want the same setup as the landing service demo. This page shows every row in full screen and a dot menu on the right side. When I scroll the next row shows up in full screen. I wonder if I only need to make settings at the bottom of every page: Page full screen rows. Or are there more settings in the Salient theme options? If there is more documentation about this can you please send me a link.

Hey Mikel2020,

You’ll need to enable the page full screen rows option for any page you wish to utilize that functionality. You can find the documentation for that specific feature here: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-metaboxes/#fullscreenrows

Kind regards

Thanks mmarhama,

There are no included templates based on the “What’s new” page currently, though I’ve noted your idea to add them.

1. The animated bubbles you’re referring to is just a background video with a gradient overlay.

2. When editing a column, you can set it to display as sticky using the element settings: https://ibb.co/10bXwTb

Kind regards

Thank you for the replay for sticky block need is similar to “whats new” the sticky background and curve, light color https://ibb.co/0rdmvHm

Hey mmarhama,

The setup of that page uses a row with two columns, and in the right-hand column, each “box” is another inner row that houses the content. The rounded edges on each box are set on the column of each inner row: https://ibb.co/zn9hQLn

If you’d like further assistance recreating that page layout, please open a ticket on the support forum.

Cheers

If you choose to format your text as “paragraph”​ in the “Highlighted text” element​ there seems to be a bug (but not if you choose H1-H6). The text won’t “render” with the < p > tag.

The “Custom Font Size” won’t work either when ​”paragraph” is chosen.​

Hey popmartin,

Thanks for reporting the issue. That issue will be sorted in the next minor release of Salient. If you’d like early access to the upcoming version with that change included, feel free to reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.

Kind regards

Hi there, we currently have an add to cart button appear when hovering over a product image on the PLP/category pages. How can I have an add to cart button under each product instead? I’d rather have the button centered on the same line as the price. Here is a reference page: https://www.prepsos.com/product-category/seeds/

Hey MikeMurphyINC,

Try adjusting the snippet the following :)
.woocommerce .classic.product .product-wrap .add_to_cart_button {
  transform: none;
}
.woocommerce .classic.product .product-wrap {
    padding-bottom: 40px;
}

Thank you! You guys provide the best support.

You’re welcome, MikeMurphyINC :)

Hi there,

We added a custom field to the fancy_box the following way:

function custom_vc_extend_element() { }

$element_name = 'fancy_box';
vc_add_param($element_name, array(
    'type' => 'textfield',
    'heading' => 'Feldname zur Bild URL',
    'param_name' => 'acf_image_field',
    'description' => 'Fügen Sie den Feldnamen des ACF Elements ein, der den URL zum Bild enthält.',
));

add_action(‘vc_before_init’, ‘custom_vc_extend_element’);

Now we want that if we populate the custom field, the default field or attribute image_url of the fancy box is changed to the following value: get_field($acf_image_field) before rendering. Can we do this in the functions.php file with a function like vc_map_update()?

Hope for your reply, Alex

Hey Alex,

I would recommend just overriding the fancy box template via your child theme to utilize the custom fields as desired rather than attempting to keep one or more fields in sync via additional actions. https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/overriding-salient-wpbakery-element-template-files-through-a-child-theme/

Hi there! I was able to get a “Proceed to Checkout” CTA button to be sticky/persistent on desktop for my cart page but it doesn’t work on mobile. How would I accomplish this? https://www.prepsos.com/cart/

Hey MikeMurphyINC,

Sticky positioning is not enabled for mobile devices by default. You would need to add in a custom CSS rule such as the following:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
  .nectar-sticky-row-wrap--top_after_nav {
    top: 62px;
    position: fixed;
    z-index: 100;
    width: 100%;
    left: 0;
  }
}

Kind regards

Thank you for the response. I’m wanting to test this in an A/B test. I have cloned the cart page and want to add the mobile sticky positioning CSS for the test/variation only. Can I apply an extra class name to just the button on the CTA button for the test variation? Let’s the say the extra class name is mobile-sticky-cta-button. I see where I can add that to extra class name to the CTA button in the page builder but how would I modify the CSS you provided to make it work on just that CTA button and not the original page’s CTA button? Does that make sense? Thanks!

Hey MikeMurphyINC, you should be able to use something like:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
  .nectar-sticky-row-wrap--top_after_nav {
      z-index: 100;
      position: relative;
  }
  .mobile-sticky-cta-button {
     top: 62px;
     position: fixed;
     z-index: 100;
     width: 100%;
     left: 0;
  }
}

Hi,

Is there anything you can suggest for me to use, on a blog post after my review I used to use ARVE plugin on my old Wordpress site to embed the music track from say the likes of Beatport, Traxsource etc but now when doing so it with comes up with an error or the embed looks too small, is there a plugin you can recommend for the use of embedding iframes into posts?

Hey djandygriff,

I would need to see a link to the URL where the sizing of the embed is incorrect so that I could assist further. Could you kindly provide an example of that?

Thanks in advance

Hello Support Team,

I’m currently using your theme and I’d like to customize the color of the links within my text articles. Could you guide me on how to change the link color?

Thank you for your assistance!

Hey casagrandegroup,

You can select your link style from the “General Link Style” in the Salient options > General Settings > Styling tab. However, if you want to alter the color to something else, you can do so by 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 a {
 color: #000;
}

Kind regards

Feature Request

Would be great to be able use the background element on a row and have the option to add multiple backgrounds that can cycle through with nice transitions/fades ect, i know it would be like a nectar slider but would be great to have the option to do it in a particular row. This is not possible right?

Hey fiftyonefifty, That wouldn’t be possible as a row background without some custom development as now. However, You can use the “Carousel” element set to the “Simple slider” option to achieve something similar: https://themenectar.com/salient/elements/carousel/#:~:text=Slider%20Based%20Carousel

Kind regards

hello, I’m enjoying Salient and will leave my review soon… I just have one basic question: I have noticed that the “header search” behaviour is different in the demos. As a matter o fact I’m looking to have the full screen display of the search view (“Ascend” demo). Where can I find the editor for that?

Hey Eluvial,

1. You’ll need to deactivate the “Extended List” AJAX search styling option in the Salient option > header navigation > header search tab https://ibb.co/q9zjh2t

2. There is a “Slide out from side” that is not triggered on hover available as an option: https://ibb.co/z77fvmZ If you already have that selected, kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards so that we can take a closer look at your setup.

Thanks in advance

thanks for making me aware of an exsting forum, so I wont bother you here on the comment board.
The “extended list” has fixed both issues, yet I believe there might be some bugs in the overall designs and templates… but I shall play more with the theme in order to understand if it’s just me.

Glad I could help, Eluvial :)

Feel free to open a ticket if you believe you’ve located a bug.

Kind regards

Is it possible to manually select product ID’s to display in the Woocommerce Products element? Rather than just categories or featured?

Hey MarcGarner,

There is no built-in option to do that as of now. You would need to modify the element via a child theme in order to add that functionality. https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/overriding-salient-wpbakery-element-template-files-through-a-child-theme/

Kind regards

Feature Request: Expand the Page Builder to Woocommerce Category pages. Enabling custom content on Woocommerce category pages for full flexibility of headers and additional content.

Hey MarcGarner,

I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist :)

Kind regards

Hello!! I was testing the contact form and the only field that I was able to click on and type something was the name field. All the other fields are not clickable.

Below is a video showing you what I am talking about. Thanks

https://home.mycloud.com/action/share/9b8b6edc-d039-4922-934b-06c840e4fb13

Hey visualpaint :)

I can’t recreate that when testing your URL on my end. So far, I’ve checked on the latest versions of Chrome/FF/Safari on Mac. Can you please open a ticket on the support forum in regards with further information on your browser/OS?

Kind regards

thank you

How can I override the Post Grid files?

I’ve moved:

/wp-content/plugins/salient-core/includes/post-grid/loop-markup.php

to:

/wp-content/themes/salient-child/post-grid/loop-markup.php

Is that correct? Seems to be how you structure it in your Docs, except it doesn’t work for me. I tried a few different combos of folder structure but couldn’t work it out. Thanks!

Hey SeanAUS120, instead of overriding that entire template file, you’ll need to copy the function within it to your child theme I.e.

nectar_post_grid_item_markup

Kind regards

OK got it. And another question … is there a way to write a conditional statement targeting a project_category?

I’m trying to add some content to my portfolio pages if they are in a specific category but I can’t work out what the snippet should target. Thanks!

Hey SeanAUS120,

You can check if your projects belong to a specific category in order to output content based on that by using the following method:
if( has_term('your_category', 'project-type', get_the_ID()) ) {
   echo 'conditional content';
}

Cheers
