Hello,

We really like this demo: https://themenectar.com/salient/mag/

We want to purchase this theme strictly for a tech news website. The idea is that we want to find out more information directly from you, before buying the theme.

1. Is this theme suitable for a normal tech news website? 2. In principle, we want to make it look like here: https://kinsta.com/blog/laravel-unit-testing/ inside the article. - To be able to make the representative image 800px, or as wide as we want. - Let’s have an author card at the end of the article. 3. Is the header customizable? Can we give him a specific width? 4. If we are going to do reviews on the site, what plugin do you recommend for this? 5. Will the website load quickly? We will not use advanced functions, but only those related to a news site. 6. Is this theme compatible with elementor?

I await a reply with great interest. Thank you!

Hey Marianc97, I’m glad that you like the Mag demo :)

It would be suitable for a tech news website. The header, and content width is customization through the theme options. I don’t have a third-party plugin to recommend for additional review functionality.

The biggest thing to note out of your questions is that Salient is not based on Elementor, but rather a custom version of the WPbakery Page Builder.

Kind regards

Hello, thank you very much for the message, I still did not receive an answer to the question, whether or not I will be able to change the width for the feature image, because at the moment on your demos, they all have a very large width, and we would like let’s make it smaller for example, are there settings for this? I mean for desktop.

Related to the WPbakery editor, can we make post layouts with it, or just homepages and pages?

Thank you!

Hey Marianc97!

1. Altering the feature image size for the MAG post header would require a custom CSS rule.

2. You can use the page builder when creating posts, but not to create a custom template for the single post display.

Is it possible to reverse the order of portfolio items on mobile devices?

Hi Guys! Are there any know issues with updating my sites that use salient to wordpress 6.5? Should I hold off?

Hey mikedubs!

There are no known compatibility issues with WP 6.5 at this time.

Kind regards

Thanks so much for the reply!

You’re welcome, mikedubs :)

Hi dear, i already bought your theme 3 times for 3 different project. But i never found how do this kind of menu -> https://paste.pics/QO6U7 Please could you explain me or send me a tuto to do it ? thank you

Hey contact218,

Here’s the documentation on using the Salient menu options: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-menu-options/ There’s a video tutorial at the bottom that covers creating a megamenu similar to that.

Cheers

Hi, website can’t scroll down in safari (iphone) https://www.advocatingpeace.com/ How to solve this issue?

Hey shaky512,

Here’s a video recording from my end on iOS Safari.

Can you please open a ticket on the support forum in regards so we can follow up?

Thanks in advance

“I believe you’re testing the wrong website. The issue is that the website cannot scroll down on Safari (iPhone) at https://www.advocatingpeace.com/. How can we solve this problem? Sometimes it allows scrolling down initially, but then it stops and displays white space with no content. If you scroll slowly to the bottom, you’ll see what I mean. Your video at https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/3f0r9mqcwcvbdjj8v2h9g/ios.mp4?rlkey=tc96yny7ubwuuef1ccsj58pc6&dl=0 demonstrates a different website.”

Sorry about that, shaky512!

I still can’t see the scrolling issue you’re described when testing your URL: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/wu6kyq7n3er4a8i898u1j/ios-2.mp4?rlkey=3w2zjep8rng2pqqjt01yjiy2z&dl=0

You do have a lot of content, embeds, and animations, so it’s possible that a mobile browser could theoretically struggle to render it. If you’re only experiencing that issue on your landing page where that amount of content is used, that’s likely the issue.

Hi the support team, I’m using a lot your great theme but on mobile, my portfolio thumbnail pictures are always darker than on desktop (kind of a filter), even if I get rid of the color effect. How can I have the actual picture with no filter ?

Thanks a lot for the help.

Keep up the good work Ronny

Hey Ronny!

Could you kindly share the page URL that you’re using the portfolio on so that I can point you in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

how to make the scrolling text scroll slower? Even on the slowest setting its too fast and not readable

Thanks

Hey thomasmkl, you can create a custom timing for that element 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 .nectar-scrolling-text .nectar-scrolling-text-inner > * {
      animation-duration: 60s;
}

Kind regards

How can I change the order of the Search icon? Currently its the last item in Top Navigation Menu Pull Right. But I want it to be the 1st. Thank you.

Hey sbcarlos,

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 #top nav > .buttons {
    flex-direction: row-reverse;
    gap: 10px;
}

Kind regards

Sweet! Thank you so much.

You’re welcome, sbcarlos :)

Hello. The sticky tab scroll gets stuck behind a page submenu. How do you add a bigger offset?

and/or is it possible to vertically center the sticky tab navigation links to the middle of the page/section? Thanks!

Hey nckp2!

You should be able 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-scrolling-tabs .scrolling-tab-nav .theiaStickySidebar:before {
  display: none;
}
.scrolling-tab-nav .n-sticky .wpb_tabs_nav {
  padding-top: var(--nectar-sticky-top-distance);
}

If that doesn’t work for you, please share the page URL so that I can take a look.

Kind regards

how can I change the font color on the material tabs? they are too grey we want white

And how can I change unselected tab/tile color on the material tabs?

Thank you

Hey thomasmkl,

1. The selected tab defaults to a pure white. Can you kindly share your URL so I can see why that wouldn’t be the case?

2. 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 .span_12.light .tabbed[data-style*=material] > ul li a:not(.active-tab) {
  color: #fff;
}

Kind regards

How can I take down my review?!

When you add a new rating, you should have the chance to add a new review :)

ok it should works!

Thank you, Fixedman :)

Cheers

Hi,

I use RankMath for SEO, is there a php function scrip to disable the Salient SEO functionality?

Thanks

Hey toolbox101,

WPBakery doesn’t offer an option to disable that feature yet from their own settings, but it wouldn’t hurt to make that request known on their comments section.

We will also consider adding a toggle for it from our side.

Kind regards

Hey Phil, hope you are well. So, just to let you know : https://paste.pics/edit/4766d4ac6deef3a42fb26304b5a2fd07 wp-cafe.ca has been done with Salient.

Hey barreoblique, thanks for sharing that! <3

Hi, I have a question.

My customer experienced the fact that trying to change a page in the Safari browser, she was not able to use the WP Bakery solution as only the shortcodes are visible.

However, in the Firefox browser on her laptop, everything worked just fine. Do you know if there are any issues regarding Safari? I have a purchased lisence but no active support…

Thank you for your reply.

Regards,

Richard

Hey Richard, it sounds like they’re experiencing a JavaScript error which is preventing the page builder from initializing. However, the WPBakery page builder is compatible with Safari so I would suspect something else is at play. Have you already tried to temporarily deactivate third party plugins to see if any are causing the issue?

Kind regards

also, is it possible to get a secondary nav bar but keeping the primary one as shown? When I toggle secondary nav bar it combines them

Hey joshfiddy,

When using the “Contained” option for your “Header Size”, the secondary header bar will be disabled. You’ll need to switch back to the “Default (expanded to screen edges)” header size in order to utilize that.

Kind regards

Hello

This is a pre-sale question. One of customer is still using Salient Child Theme 0.1 … :-O I’d like to know if it is possible to update it to the Salient latest version without working for days and experiencing a lot of bugs.

Thanks for your answer !

Hey marsnetwork!

The included Child theme’s version is 0.1. The child theme version is intended to be maintained by the person working on it and is not connected to the current version of the parent Salient theme, which is 16.2.0.

Kind regards,

Got an issue where getting white space when scrolling above and below footer

Hey joshfiddy,

Please share your actual URL so that I can take a look at your settings to assist.

Thanks in advance

Hey joshfiddy,

1. Ensure that the last row in your page builder is set to either “Full width background” or “Full width content” in order to remove the bottom padding that is added by default for “In container”. It looks like the last row on your landing page contains a custom carousel script, which is currently not rendering any output.

2. The custom rich review widget is creating space after the footer: https://ibb.co/WvMCjBT

Kind regards

i really wish you guys have an elementor version. WP backery is a headace.

Hey xakbox, we appreciate your interest. However, seamlessly integrating all our existing components/templates 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, as our focus remains on our own page builder as of now.

Kind regards

Hi there, i have an issue with the footer. I want to use the 4 columns Layout. But as soon as i put content in all 4 footer widgets, the frontend displays the Footer 1 and 4 in the first cloumn. Can you help without opening a ticket?

Regards, Flip

Hi Flip, To provide assistance, I’ll need to take a look at the actual site. As of now, there’s no known issue causing the behavior you’ve mentioned. Could you please share the URL with me?

Thanks in advance

Hey there! I cannot seem to find the row template for the image gallery or ‘responsive infinite loop’ as shown in the Element Demo page, can you please let me know what the settings are (or template) for this image gallery? Thank you! https://chrisgrenier.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Screenshot-2024-03-25-at-1.37.54 PM.png

Hey svtmuscle!
