Hey, I’ve developed a custom header using a global section and set it to sticky, unfortunately global sections(Assigned via the “Global Section Display”) don’t seem to support the sticky feature of the builder at the moment. Any trick to getting this to work? Or could you possibly fix the feature to work in a future version of salient?

I found a workout around for now. For anyone else interested, I moved the sticky portion of my header into a separate global section an I’m using javascript to add a class to the closest parent with the .nectar-global-section class. I can then just add my sticky styles to that class and it works like a charm. Not elegant, but it gets the job done.

Hey veggie_89,

I’ve noted that on the development list.

Thanks for sharing your solution for the community :)

You guys are the best!

Hi team, I’m a long time lover of Salient (have bought many times!). Question though: when updating a button style, it changed, but now appears to have fixed itself in one style. Even if I change it. Is this a caching issue? I can’t seem to get it to change in the Nectar Button settings without using custom CSS now?

Cleared the cache and no improvement/change unfortunately. Nothing I do on the back end to the styling seems to change on the front end :/

Hey ashyena!

Since there’s no known issue similar to that, could you kindly please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards with your site URL so that I can take a look?

Thanks in advance

Dear Salient Team,

I am eagerly awaiting the release of version 17 of your WordPress theme. Could you please provide an update on when it might be available?

Hey sylwiaszmalec,

We’re starting the private beta next week, so I would roughly estimate the official release is about a month away.

Kind regards

Hi, about the infinite logo carousel on the main demo page.

Link: https://preview.themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266

I have tried to replicate it with the element carousel type Flickity – Autorotate – slider Transition – Type Ticker Movement, but the image boxes are bigger and at a certain moment they stop appearing for a while and then they appear again. I set it to display 6 on desktop and only 4 appear.

Do you have this in a Demo template or do you know how I can solve it?

Thank you in advance.

Hey CS-A9,

You can find that template section in the Salient Studio Template Library. It’s titled “Trust-Building Section” https://ibb.co/qkhhFK5

Hi there, any ideas why the red square image won’t centre on mobile or ipad even though all the settings have been adjusted for this?

https://www.mentalhealthfc.org/

Hey UtopiaDM,

The column which is holding the image is specified to display at 1/6 width on tablet in your setup. If you want the image to be centered in the full container width, that would need to be changed to 1/1 (12 columns). The image could then use a “Custom Max Width” to limit the size as desired. e.g. https://ibb.co/0ZNp8h9

Kind regards

That link doesn’t work?

But from what you say, wouldn’t the text and image be on different rows on desktop view? As that isn’t what I’d like, I’d like how the desktop view is now but also the ability to centre the image when on ipad and mobile.

Hey UtopiaDM,

1. That’s strange, I can still access the link shared. However, here’s a new one to try: https://pasteboard.co/hIgz6n4AmJrT.png

2. You can specify your column widths separately for desktop/tablet/phone using the “Column Responsive” tab when editing a column. Here’s the documentation on that functionality.

Kind regards

Hi,

I try to remove the span text from search results, portfolio item, or page, post. But it does not work.

This is the code I use

#search-results .result .title span 
{
    display: none!important;
}

am I using the wrong css selector?

Thanks

Hey toolbox101, that snippet looks correct. Can you please share your website URL so that I can take a look why it’s not taking effect for you?

Thanks in advance

Actually I fixed it, there was a security plugin blocking the changes

Hello ThemeNectar. Quick question. For a page that is combining both RTL and LTR, is it possible to, somehow, assign them to the text boxes? I can have one text box with LTR and the next one with RTL. I was solving my situation just by aligning the text left or right. But it renders incorrectly when I add bullets or dashes to the sentences :( Any advice?

Hey PriR,

If you’re using a recent release of Salient, you can use the newer “Text Direction” option inside of Text blocks in order to mix RTL and LTR on the same page: https://ibb.co/yqFX6bc

Kind regards

Hello,

I have a question that may be far-fetched, but do you know if it’s possible to “block” the scalling/zooming of a section’s background?

For one of our customers, he wanted to use a “read more” for a rather long testimonial https://mccamley.maj.mc/ however this creates a zoom effect in the background and the rendering isn’t great.

I’ll let you know if something is possible, if not, I’ll look for other solutions.

It’s perfect!

How can I do the same with the image on the Mobile version?

You’re welcome, MAJMonaco!

You can change the snippet to the following to handle both of those:

.home .wpb_row.vc_row.top-level .nectar-video-bg,
.home .wpb_row.vc_row.top-level .row-bg {
  position: fixed;
}

Cheers

Perfect thanks!

edit: solved, sorry

Hey dzineee, I’m glad that you were able to sort it :)

hi https://kusorelectronics.es/tienda/ any idea why the categories are not showing correctly? the line-height looks bad, all so why the sub-categories are not a little bit more to the right from the main categorie? like in this example that looks OK https://ornibalear.com/tienda/ thanks

Hey dimage,

It looks like you’re using an older version on kusorelectronics (15). I would recommend updating to the latest release of Salient since you’re using the newer block based widgets.

Kind regards

hi again, how can i change the block widget?

Hey dimage,

You can alternatively use the classic product categories by adding a “Legacy Widget” block and selecting it from there.

Kind regards

Hello! why cant i on my site opedia.dk see my video on the front page on mobile version?

Hey oliverschou!

If you want to have video playback on mobile devices, you’ll need to use the self hosted option (mp4) instead of a YouTube video. Here’s the documentation on that feature for reference: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-row/#video-background

Kind regards

Hi,

I have a quick question please.

How did you get this search bar on the banner of the doc. page https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/

Is there a shortcode you can give?

Thanks

Hey toolbox101,

That was created using custom HTML. Unfortunately, there’s no similar shortcode built in by default.

Kind regards

Hi,

Is there an easy way to disable the next portfolio post at the bottom of the portfolio pages?

Cheers

Hey Micatuca, you can hide that with the following CSS snippet for now:

body #portfolio-nav {
  display: none;
}

V17 will be adding a theme option for this :)

Cheers

Hello, I ‘m encountering a payment issue I have added a sepa payment method through WebToffee Stripe plugin. and all the payments method activated as “credit card and external stripe checkout work” except sepa pay. When the sepa method is selected and we click to the button proceed nothing happens. Do you have any solution for this?

Hey blackout_entertainment,

Have you verified that the issue only occurs when Salient is your active theme? If so, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards so that we can take a closer look into the setup.

Thanks in advance

On the shop page I’ve added the product categories list widget as a filter, but there’s no way to add a title to that block like the others? Any idea why or how

Hey mbianchi27, that is a core WooCommerce block and not something we’ve added or modify in Salient. Are you only seeing the title field functionality change when Salient is your active theme?

Kind regards

Ok thanks, which product category filter block are you all using on https://themenectar.com/salient/ecommerce-robust/product-category/skincare/

I’m currently using product categories list, but it has no title, but the one you are using in the demo does

We’re using the classic widgets on that demo. You can access them by selecting the “Legacy Widget” -> “Product Categories”.

Kind regards

Hi there, I just have to say that I love your theme. It is really one of the best themes there. And I just wanted to ask if there will be soon an update release, since WordPress and WooCommerce have already updated and some updates have affected theme templates in terms that woocommerce Salient templates are no longer compatible with the new woocommerce templates.

Thank you in advance.

Hey alhemitzar, I’m glad that you’ve been enjoying Salient :)

We’ve already released a minor version (16.3.1) a couple of days ago to ensure compatibility with the latest WooCommerce release. https://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html

Have you already updated to that and are noticing an issue?

Kind regards

Hi, here is an issue that in ’ General Settings – CSS/Script Related ’ tab, the ’ Custom CSS Code ’ textarea only dispay css code but cannot edit. Try to modify theme file permissions but not work. How to resolve it plz?

Hey qmliu,

Have you verified that no third party plugins you may have active are causing the issue by temporarily deactivating them? If so, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards so that we can take a closer look at your setup to assist.

Thanks in advance

Hi there, thanks for your advice and problem solved. An optimization plugin called ‘WPJAM Basic’ is causing this issue. Thanks again.

Hey qmliu, I’m glad that I was able to help out :)

Cheers

Hi – can you advise how I can speed up the “client display” module

Hey tricks28, I would recommend switching to the “Carouse” page builder element and using “Image” elements inside of it to replicate your existing display. Using the Carousel element will provide greater control and flexibility with configuration and natively provides the option to set the “Autorotation Speed”.

Kind regards

Hello,

Europe is now forcing to have a website with accessibility for disable people. Do you provide this in your theme? I dont want to use a plugin for it.

Thanks & best regards Israr

Hey Israr,

Salient already aims to provide accessibility to WCAG AA specifications at its core. However, ensuring that your web page is accessible also depends on how you build your pages. This includes adhering to correct contrasting colors, providing alt tags, screen reader fallbacks, etc.

Kind regards

Yes, but Salient should provide options for a proper accessibility management in Theme Settings, also options to adjust things like accessibility modes, visual filters and so on. Integrating an button in the navigation or footer for accessbility options. Untill when can we expect this feature?

Thanks & best regards! Israr

Hey Israr, there are no plans yet to build functionality with an accessibility button for the header or footer. That would require the use of a plugin as of now.

Kind regards

Hi, How can I make the hover shadow and movement for buttons a bit more discreet? It’s too much of a change.

Hey apinzon,

You can remove that global effect in the Salient options > General settings > Styling tab, via the “Button Styling” option. If you want to modify the existing effect rather than using a different standard style, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards

Cheers
