Dear ThemeNectar, I have noticed that Salient generates dozens of images for each one that is uploaded. Is it really necessary to have that?

Hey Eluvial, you have control over which image sizes Salient will cut from the Salient options panel > General settings > Image sizes tab.

If your website doesn’t require all, you can turn any off you don’t want.

Kind regards

I am having an issue where my Highlighted Text element isn’t working. On this page there’s some text, ”$150 per video” that is supposed to highlight red, but doesn’t do anything. I have tried the other styles as well, and it’s not working. I have tried disabling caching on this page, as well as disabling all plugins. Any ideas?

Here is the page: https://www.mattrittman.com/animation-licensing-v2/

Hey mrittman,

That element highlights any text that has been italicized within the block. It seems that none of your text is set to italics, so the effect won’t be rendered. For further support, please use the support forum in the future.

Kind regards

Ahhh that explains it. I didn’t realize that’s how it worked lol. Thank you!

You’re welcome, mrittman :)

Hello there, Parts! Tell me plz, when to expect the next big update?

Hey raffess,

The beta for v17 will be sent out this weekend. Once we’ve gathered enough user testing and feedback, we expect the final release to be ready in a couple of weeks :)

Greetings! Will it be possible to change the burger menu icon in the future?

Hey esqu1red!

Do you have any suggestions for variants that you would like to see in the future?

Kind regards

Maybe two lines, or just one line. Maybe some new animations of opening. Its just a suggestion. Will be great if it will be in future update. <3

Thanks for the requests, esqu1red :)

I have a license of this amazing theme. But WP Backery has a critical vulnerability in version 7.6, fixed in 7.8. Is it possible to have the fixed version?

Hey IZ4AKS,

You can access the latest release of the Salient WPBakery plugin (7.8) by updating to the most recent Salient (16.4)

Kind regards

Hi,

The animated gradient backgrounds are absolutely stunning but they just don’t have the same effect on mobile, is there a way we can disable them on mobile only?

Cheers!

Hey Micatuca,

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 (max-width: 1000px) {
.nectar-animated-gradient {
  display: none;
}
}

Kind regards

Perfect, Cheers

You’re welcome, Micatuca :)

​Hi there, I need to display a short description on the Shop or the Shop Category pages. So its visible before the client clicks on individual products. How can I achieve that?

Hey vivko,

We don’t have a built-in option to display the product excerpt on the WooCommerce archives. However, you could manually add that in via a filter in your child theme functions.php file. Here’s an example snippet: https://pastebin.com/XHTBhhFu

Kind regards

Thank you. That worked. Do you know if there is a hook to display the price as well in an excerpt?

Hey vivko, Here’s an updated snippet for that: https://pastebin.com/qtBDr441

Cheers

Hey ThemeNectar!

How I get your “nectar-sticky-media-section__navigation-button” visible with the overlapping scrolling animation on Salient? See: https://imgur.com/a/0v9lLsb

The regular wpbakery element “sticky-media-section” doesn´t provide this option.

Can you give me a suggestion, what I can try?

Thanks guys!

Best regards

Hey mediastyle12!

That’s a feature that we’re going to be including in v17. If you’d like to access the beta, feel free to reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.

Hello, i wouldlike the default search function to also searchinproduct variations, is this possible this somehow to enable it? thanks

Hey orders337,

We don’t extend what data WordPress uses for the search results page, so I would recommend taking a look into a plugin such as Relevanssi to extend the native functionality with more data.

Kind regards

Hello ! Is it a way to display a different menu on specific page. I would like to display an anchor menu for a landing page. Thank you

You’re welcome, Jrm57 :)

You could add a snippet of CSS to the page you want to disable the link on using the page builder CSS box (top right gear icon).

#logo {
  pointer-events: none;
}

Cheers

Great thank you. And if I want to point to another page than the homepage. Like a mini-site. Is it possible ?

Hey Jrm57,

That would require a PHP modification from your child theme. If you would like assistance with that, feel free to open a ticket on the support forum in regards.

Cheers

I’ve requested this before, but just bringing it up once again. Just requesting consistency with the way hovering over icons work in the footer. If you’ve enabled social icons in the footer, there’s a nice color fade animation. This same hover color animation is not available in the Icon element and I’ve never quite understood why.

Also, adding a single line with 8+ social icons gets pretty clunky doing it with rows. Just wish there was a much easier solution. Especially when it comes to making it responsive. I know Salient is based off WPBakery page builder, so I’m sure there’s a lot of limitation with the Responsive Options. It’s just always been quite cumbersome. I wish this area would get completely overhauled.

Hey mrittman,

1. You could call a global section inside of another global section. However, you would need to do so by adding the shortcode to your global section e.g.

[nectar_global_section id="YOUR_GLOBAL_SECTION_ID"]

2. Ive noted to investigate that further for the next release :)

Kind regards

Okay awesome thank you so much! And sorry to bug you so much regarding the icons, but I really do think it would be a huge QoL update if the Icon element would display the icon selected on the back end editor. You can see how this get’s to be a bit confusing:

Hey mrittman, thanks for the request. It’s been noted :)

Is it possible to copy mega menu settings from a website to another website? I want the same mega menu settings from website A to website B. So that I don’t recreate it from scratch

Hey shaky512,

WordPress doesn’t support importing the metadata associated with menu item by default, so you would need to manually export/import those posts into the DB.

Kind regards

Great Work!

Thanks, Acnoo :)

Hi, how can I change the “Related Posts Title Text” to another language? E.g. “You may also like” in German “Das könnte Sie auch interessieren”.

Hey reob, that string is contained within the “salient” text domain and can be translated using your desired translation plugin. Kindly refer to the docs here in regards: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/translations/

Cheers

I discovered there is an issue in the nectar slider https://www.perdanajelawat.com/. If you leave this slider to move automatically, you will notice on slide #2 the Logo + Menu will disappear.

But if we move manually to the next slide or the previous slide, everything looks good.

And when the zoom in animation is finished, the menu and logo colors sometimes change

SETTINGS: Salient > Header Navigation > Transparent Header Effect:

Header Starting Text Color: #FFFFFF

Header Dark Text Color: #000000

Header Starting Text Opacity: FULL OPACITY

Permanent Transparent Header: OFF

Header Inherit Row Color: OFF

Add Shadow Behind Transparent Header: OFF

SETTING ON SLIDER

Slide #1 Slide Font Color: DARK

Slide #2 Slide Font Color: LIGHT

Slide #3 Slide Font Color: LIGHT

SETTING ON PAGE

Force Transparency On Navigation: ON

Transparent Header Navigation Color: DARK

What should I set to solve this issue? And it seems that this issue appears when the slider has dark and light background colors

Hey shaky512,

There is no way to have two top-level sliders, both with autorotate enabled, affect the header navigation coloring. Only a slider within the top-level row will be able to control the header coloring. If you use two sliders with autorotate enabled, they will compete to change the coloring. If you want to keep that effect for both viewports, you’ll need to stick with a single slider and adjust it for the mobile version using CSS.

Kind regards

Can we get the css code for the mobile version?

And where should I put the code?

Hey shaky512, If you would like to open a ticket on the support forum in regards with more information about what you are looking to alter between the desktop/mobile versions, we would be glad to to assist.

Hi there, as a long term user. Are there any new demos coming up? I’d love a modern portfolio layout. Please let me know!

Hey justinwust!

There will actually be new portfolio demos added in the upcoming v17 release. :)

Cheers

Is it possible to access the JS for the animated gradient, specifically the organic option?

Hey MarcGarner, the underlying code for that element exists at:

salient/js/src/elements/nectar-animated-gradient.js

Kind regards

Hi Themenectar! I am having an issue with nectar slider preview image not loading when using a video slide. I have uploaded a preview image but all it loads on Mac OS running Safari is the first frame of the video with a play button. Any ideas? This is the URL for my site: https://laragroup.ca Thanks as always for your time and great product!

Hey halcyonrecords!

That would require an edit to the file “wp-content/plugins/salient-nectar-slider/includes/frontend/helpers.php” for now. However, it will become available through a child theme mod in the next release.

Kind regards

Thank you!

You’re welcome, halcyonrecords :)

Hi, I’m having an issue with the ‘Filter by product attribute’ WC widget not working without installing the classic widget plugin. I reported it two years ago (ticket #3109114) but just tried it on another site and the issue still remains. All filter options are shown on product category pages and remain, even if not relevant to the current products. The filters work when created with the classic widget plugin and not in the new blocks. Thanks Andrew

Hey Andrew,

After reviewing that ticket, it seems like there’s some disconnect in your WooCommerce data. I haven’t been able to replicate a similar issue locally. However, if you’ve confirmed that the same issue does not occur in your site when switching to the default WordPress theme, please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.

Thanks in advance

Thanks, I’ve had the same issue on two different WC sites using the Salient theme. I’ve sent a message over via the contact form.

Hi guys! I am looking for the best option to create a custom single page with “Dynamic Content” on Salient. In WPBakery docs I found a option like: https://help.visualcomposer.com/docs/features/dynamic-content/ , but how is this possible with Salient? Do you provide a option like this?

If this is not possible at the moment do you recommend other or additional page builder like https://academy.bricksbuilder.io/article/dynamic-data/ where this is possible?

Thanks, Alex

Hey Alex,

Visual Composer offers a different dynamic data system than WPBakery: https://help.visualcomposer.com/docs/getting-started/visual-composer-vs-wpbakery/

If you opt to use another builder, you won’t be able to access any of the Salient elements or templates as we exclusively have built them for WPBakery.

Kind regards

Hi again, aaah okay my mistake. Ok I would defenitly like to go further with Salient, so the best option to handle dynamic data is changing the template files right?

Thanks!

Hey ak1911,

You would need to create the template file manually via a child theme or make a global section assigned to only display on your post type single template. However, the global section won’t allow you to start from a blank slate – it will inject your custom elements into a specific location on the page.

Kind regards
