Hi guys- great stuff! if possible please add Bluesky to the social media list supported in Salient. Thanks!
Hey erik_1099,
I’ve noted your +1 for the social media link to be added 
Cheers
Hello, I don’t know why but the portfolio widget is not showing text in dark color (filters), it is underlined but no text in black. Can’t figure it out! https://coffeewithdamian.com
Hey Fixedman,
It looks like the parent Row element is set to use “Light” text coloring. If you change that to “Dark”, it should correct the issue.
Kind regards
You are right, I was sure I was checking it! Thank you.
You’re welcome, Fixedman
Hello,
I wanted to make a suggestion. Could you consider to add a “timeline” for the content ? Or it needs too much to be created and won’t be added?
Regards!
Hey matvej, I’ve noted your +1 for the idea
Kind regards
Hi, I bought this theme many times already. For a new project I need to have team members images with a second photo as an on mouse over effect. Can’t seem to find out if this is possible within the theme. Could you advise? Thnx in advance.
Hey 15Twelve,
Unfortunately there’s no built-in functionality to add a secondary hover image in the team member element as of now. Accomplishing that would require a modification from your child theme.
Kind regards
Thank you for your reply. Would have been nice to keep it within the template. I’ll go for the WP Bakery Mega addons plugin. The template is still awesome btw
Thanks 15Twelve
I have just taken over the maintenance of a new Salient website. Is the process to upgrade from 12.1.0 to the latest version straight forward?
Can I just replace the theme files?
Thank you
Hey vernonsong, upgrading from v12 to the latest release should be straightforward. The only thing to consider is whether your client has a child theme that contains modified theme templates or functions. If they do, those will likely need to be updated to reflect the current versions.
Kind regards
Hi, how can I achieve the modern stacked portfolio transition you have here https://themenectar.com/salient/portfolio-layered/
I am looking to apply that on my homepage at https://staging3.jamescarveronline.com
Can I get that effect on any page I want, or does my entire website have to be in this template style?
Hey JayCarver,
That effect is achievable by selecting the “Horizontal Gradient Wipe” for the View Transitions API based page transition in the Salient options panel: https://ibb.co/R34JgVD
It’s a global option that will affect every page on your website.
Kind regards
Thanks. Related question: In the demo you created, how do I get my blog posts or portfolio thumbnail posts to have a video background like you did in the third post down on the page? https://themenectar.com/salient/portfolio-layered
Video thumbnails are now supported for the Portfolio post in the Post Loop Builder element if you supply a video in the new field “Project Video” field when editing a project.
Kind regards
Hi Themenectar, Thanks for the awesome theme! I have two questions: 1. Can I remove the blog sidebar widget from appearing on certain category types in a single post? 2. Is there a way to have sidebars on both sides or switch which side the sidebar appears on for single posts?
Thanks!
Hey halcyonrecords!
1. Yes, you could by adding the following snippet into your child theme functions.php file: https://pastebin.com/gxGdeTER 2. There is no built-in option to add two sidebars to the blog template. However, you can reverse the side is displays on with this CSS snippet:
.single .post-area {
float: right;
padding-left: 5%;
padding-right: 0;
}
Kind regards
Thank you very much! In response to question number 1, it seems this overrides the “Hide Sidebar on Single Post” preference under Salient settings. Is there a way to retain that functionality should we choose to go back to hiding it?
One last question, is there a way to create a box/border around an “Image With Hot Spots” and to change the text colour. It seems to be defaulting to a white box with no border which makes it hard to stand out on a white image and the text is a light grey which is hard to see.
Hey halcyonrecords,
1. I must have misunderstood your request. The snippet I provided was to disable the blog sidebar when on certain categories. Are you instead trying to keep the sidebar active but only remove certain widgets?
2. You can add a shadow to the tooltip in the “Style” tab when editing the Image With Hotspots element. That will make it pop out even when against a white BG. The text color should be inherited from your theme options > “Overall Font Color”.
Hey halcyonrecords, 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: 999px) {
.single .main-content .featured-media-under-header {
padding-top: 0;
}
}
Please use the support forum in the future for customization requests, as this area is not the correct location.
Kind regards
I understand. Thank you! You’re the best.
You’re welcome, halcyonrecords
Hi
Is there a way to nofollow all portfolio external links? I could not find an option.
If not, can you please consider adding?
Thanks
Hey toolbox101, I’ve noted to include that by default in the next minor release.
Kind regards
Hi. Is this still coming soon?
Hey toolbox101,
Have you updated to v17.0.5? If you’re using the Portfolio page builder element instead of the Post Loop builder, I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin to ensure you have the latest files, which should include that change.
Kind regards
Hello,
I’ve noticed that for some time now the shopping basket add-on has been quite slow. It takes between 2 and 3 seconds from the moment you click on add to basket to the moment the basket starts to open. Do you have any idea where this might be coming from / how it could be improved. The site where this is most annoying: https://sweet--laces.com/.
Thanks in advance.
Hey MAJMonaco,
The time it takes for your server to complete an AJAX request is typically influenced by the overhead in your setup and server configuration. Additional plugins can increase the time required for these requests to complete. Have you performed a comparison test with all third-party plugins deactivated?
Kind regards
Hello!
I’m using the theme on a website, but I’ve encountered an issue that I think can be fixed. When I set the menu to display according to the conditions I define using the “Conditional Menus” (Themify) plugin, the “Menu Item Link Button Style” is not applied, causing the highlight effect not to display. Is there a way to fix this? Prints here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/AAu3Rfkj3dk8qXkLA or: renderingamerica.com
Hey budegass,
I’ve noted to look into a workaround for that in the next minor release of Salient
Kind regards
Hi, how do I create anchor links? I’m trying to get the arrow icon from your layered hero template component to link down to the next section on the page. An example would be here on my site: https://staging3.jamescarveronline.com at the bottom right of the page.
Hey Jay,
The Next Section Button should automatically add the needed anchor link that leads to the next row within your page. I can see that the logic is not occurring in your page, which points to some other issue. If you’ve already verified that temporarily disabling all third-party plugins does not correct the issue, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards
Cheers
Hey there, I’ve already disabled plugins and get the same issue. I don’t have your ticketing system subscription so I cannot open a ticket. When I hover over the icon, I see that the URL just has a ”#” instead of being tied to any ID. This same issue happens even when I tried adding the component again from the template editor.
The URL is automatically created through JS to match the ID of the next row within the page – which is not occurring in your setup. Feel free to alternatively reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.
Hello, no idea why, but my portfolio project is showing 404 error https://coffeewithdamian.com/portfolio/promotional-video-catholic-art-institute/ will be glad for help.
Hey Fixedman,
The project URL you’ve shared appears to be working without a 404 – Did you already correct this? If not, you can typically fix 404 permalink issues by re-saving your permalinks in the WP admin > Settings > Permalinks section.
Kind regards
hello, yes I brought it to default settings, but permalinks are changing, blog posts too, and other things, what if I want to change only the portfolio?
Hey Fixedman,
I’m not sure what permalink structure you previously had, but if you would like to follow up with this, feel free to open a ticket on the support forum in regards
Thanks in advance
I set up WooCommerce and your theme with multiple currencies in the WooCommerce settings. But I don’t see it in the frontend. There is no multi currency switcher. Is this something that doesn’t work out of the box with your theme?
Is there a solution to place a multi currency switcher (dropdown) in the main navigation of the shop?
Hey moccaloco, WooCommerce only supports one currency by default. Can you confirm that you are using the WooCommerce extension called “WooCommerce Multi-Currency”? If so, that plugin offers a widget, which can be added to one of the Salient widget areas e.g. the Shop Sidebar.
I’m using Plus Jakarta Sans, but the upper font weights like 700 and 800 aren’t loading. It seems the thickest font I get is 600. Can you please help? They’re all setup correctly in the Typography section, and I can see in the inspector that the font is being called, but it looks thin still. https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Plus+Jakarta+Sans
Hey apinzon,
I am seeing all of the weights for that font loading correctly when testing locally. You might be noticing the slight difference in perceived weight that -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; adds, which Salient uses. You can change that by adding the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
-webkit-font-smoothing: auto;
}
Kind regards
I imported the layered portfolio demo to use on my site and my logo has disappeared. How can I get it back?
If I hover over where the logo is, the cursor turns to a hand like the link is still there, but it’s like the logo is invisible or behind the image layer or something.
Hey rjlucas,
The Layered Portfolio demo uses a text logo instead of an image logo. To enable an image logo, go to Salient Options > Header Navigation > Logo tab. If you’ve already enabled an image logo, make sure you’ve also added your logo in the ‘Transparent Header Effect’ tab, as this demo utilizes that effect as well.
Is there any way to remove the heart and likes count on portfolio projects?
Hey Calvarado123,
You can remove that by either disabling the Salient Social plugin, or switching your Portfolio element to display in any of the other “Project Styles” https://ibb.co/1QHdCfb
Kind regards
Is there any theme option for customising the author bio section?
The author page link is forwarded to the homepage. Is it possible to disable the link or forward it to the proper author page?
Hey xakbox,
The author link in the single post bio area should lead to the author archive page by default. Can you share your page URL where that’s not occurring so that I can take a quick look?
Kind regards
Hi,
I was wondering if you have any filter to put in the functions.php file to disable the font editor and all the CSS, JS and any related files it loads?
Thanks
Hey toolbox101,
Are you referring to the “Typography” tab within the Salient options panel when you say “Font editor”?
Kind regards
Sorry i meant Front Editor not font
Hey toolbox101,
You could add the following snippet in your child theme functions.php to remove that:
vc_disable_frontend();
Kind regards
Thanks for the code, just to make sure this will also unload any CSS and js? or they still will load?
Hey toolbox101,
The assets for the frontend editor should only load when accessing the editor and not be globally loaded in the backend.
Kind regards
Is this theme a Gutenberg editor?
Hey WeiLaiKuai,
No, Salient is based on a custom version of WPBakery.
Kind regards
Hi, I would like to translate a Global Section into Spanish and English using WPML; however, I don’t have translation options for Global Sections. Could you tell me how to proceed? Thank you.
Hey ASG31,
In the WPML Settings tab, make sure that you’ve set the Global Sections post type to be translatable in the “Post Types Translation” section.
Kind regards
