Hi I am considering using the Polylang plugin to create a multilingual website with the Salient theme. However, I have encountered information suggesting that Polylang may have compatibility issues with Ajax functionalities in themes. Could you please confirm if Salient is fully compatible with Polylang, especially concerning Ajax features? Are there any known issues or necessary configurations to ensure smooth integration? Thank you for your assistance. Best regards,

Hey justdavideliot,

Salient does not rely on AJAX except for a few optional components, such as enabling AJAX in the header search or the WooCommerce quick cart.

Kind regards

What’s the way to make the Masonry Blog items in to different columns and margins? Hoping to create 6 or 8 column rows with 10px margin.

I’m using Material as the blog option, but I can’t see any margins set for .masonry-blog-item so I’m assuming you have some js doing that? Any way to override it with CSS?

Hey SeanAUS120,

You would need to use the “Auto masonry” style in order to modify that with CSS. The other masonry styles are created with JS and can’t be overridden with CSS alone.

Kind regards

Is it possible to templatize the “Short description” in a product so that when you create a new one the template appears. Alternatively, is it possible to place the product description in the “Short description” space (next to the product image)?

Hey aglet,

There’s no built-in option to create an auto populated template for the short description.

You can change your “Product Tab Position” to “In Side Area” via the Salient options panel > WooCommerce > Single Product tab.

Kind regards

Thank you!

You’re welcome, aglet :)

Hey Phil! How are you mate?

I was wondering how to avoid this (I tried keeping a minimum width, but I don’t see any difference)

Sorry Phil for my late reply. You can see this there : https://ftgq.qc.ca/pourquoi-pieger/

Btw, in french, we make a space (instead of ”,”) for thousands, for example 35 000. Do you think it could be done with css and or javascript? I tested some way to do it by myslelf, with no real result.

Hey Louis,

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: https://pastebin.com/4wxV5Jqz

Adding a space to the milestone element would require custom modifications that are beyond the scope of regular support. If you need to use that format, I would suggest using a regular text/responsive text element instead of the milestone. You could still accomplish an entrance animation through the parent columns.

Kind regards

It didn’t work, but I fixed it another way. Thanks Phil! Have a nice day.

Hey! When a project is password protected, the project title then says “Protected”. Is there a way to change that title? I’d like to remove the large “Protected” that’s added to the title.

Hey A_K, that snippet would be the most direct way to alter it. However, it’s possible that there’s a plugin out there which also adds the ability to modify that through a UI.

Kind regards

hi we have a site needs updating with version 8.5.6 installed – will Updating to 17.0.7 work or break?

Hey e3templates,

Yes, updating between those versions would be possible. However, you should read through this article before an upgrade involving such a large jump.

Kind regards

Is there a way to change the styling of the portfolio sorting filters? Currently they are text with an animated underline but I’d like them to look like small pill buttons — filled on selected. Is this possible?

Hey A_K,

That would be possible via CSS customization. If you would like assistance with that, feel free to open a ticket on the support forum in regards.

Cheers

Hi guys,

Suddenly, my LinkedIn logo in the footer of my website is not showing.

The LinkedIn hyperlink there along with the YouTube and Spotify logos

Any ideas why this is happening and how I can fix it?

Hey logicbank,

It looks like you currently have a CSS optimization plugin active, which might be causing the issue—possibly Jetpack Boost. Could you try disabling any plugins that modify the CSS output to test?

Kind regards

Thank you for your reply. The issue seemed to be the following:

Concatenate CSS

Styles are grouped by their original placement, concatenated and minified to reduce site loading time and reduce the number of requests.

Once I turned it off the LinkedIn icon appeared again. Strangely, before I did this I added a FaceBook icon and it did appear while the Linkedin icon was still missing.

What optimization plugins (cache, CSS, etc.) do you recommend with Salient?

Hey logicbank,

Salient already serves the CSS minified, and concatenating CSS is no longer a best practice with HTTP/2 and later. As long as your server is using that protocol to serve assets, there is no reason to enable that functionality in any performance plugin. Reference for reading.

Kind regards

Can all animations be turned off? Like the text and all the elements are moving in the Saas theme https://themenectar.com/salient/saas/

Hey tred1975, Yes, animations are optional within Salient. You can configure/disable them within the element settings.

Kind regards

Hello, is the theme compatible with latest woocommerce version 9.6?

Yes, Salient is compatible with WooCommerce 9.6. If you’re running into any issues, feel free to open a ticket on the support forum in regards

I have a background image in my hero section set to center top but it cuts off at the top and you can see the image being cut off near the nav rather than the image scaling to browser height.

I’ve “covered” it with a gradient overlay but is there a way to solve that? It looks likes there’s top padding on the image but I don’t believe I have any set.

https://andrewklotz.ca/

Thanks!

Hey A_K!

It seems that the row might be placed second within the page builder instead of first. To utilize the parallax background effect without it calculating additional height (which can cause clipping), ensure that the row is set as the top-level row by placing it first within the editor.

Kind regards

Hi,

I’ve used ACF to create a custom post type and the fields I want for my website. Could you please guide me through configuring the single and archive pages for this new post type? On other themes for which I’ve used this same approach, the custom post type usually appears in the theme options. However, on Salient, I can’t seem to find it there. Looking forward to your response.

Cheers

Hey spacle2xl,

We do not offer theme options for dynamically registered post types. By default, archives and single posts will inherit the same options used for the core ‘post’ (blog) post type. To make modifications specific to CPT templates, you will need to use a child theme.

Kind regards

Thanks for your response.

Hello. I’ve been using your theme for years. One thing I noticed on my current site is that using the Image Gallery (Nectar Slider Style) with image size “full”, the images are massively distorted compared to the other images. They look 1x instead of 2x. Anyway of fixing this?

Hey joshuabbutler,

Do you have your “Image Aspect Ratio” set to be determined by the image size, or is it set to a fixed ratio? You can also control how your images will fill the slider area by using the “Image Rendering” (contain vs cover). If you would like to share your URL, feel free to open a ticket on the support forum in regards so we can follow up more closely.

Kind regards

I have it “determined by the image size”. Thanks

Hey joshuabbutler,

We’d be happy to follow up on the support forum to review your page URL and take a closer look at what’s going on.

Kind regards

Hello,

Is there any way to reverse the filter by price slider in the woocommerce sidebar? On RTL websites like ours, the slider should work in the opposite direction. The handle on the right side should correspond to the lower price filter, and the handle on the left should correspond to the higher price filter.

I’ve searched a lot but couldn’t find a solution to modify the slider in this way. I wanted to check if you can assist us with this issue.

Thank you for your help!

Best regards,

Hey Jabbarpour,

While that widget is a core WooCommerce widget and not something we control in Salient, feel free to open a ticket on the support forum with your website URL so we can follow up.

Thank you so much

Hi,

For the next update can you please make the text block editor a little better?

It is very annoying when you are working with a paragraph and skip a line to add a title and assign a heading to it it is assigned to the whole thing, the paragraph above and the heading. Elementor and block editor do not have this issue.

Also, can you put a native table of contents feature in the global section of the blog?

Thanks

Hey toolbox101,

Thanks for the requests. However, the text block does not appear to have a known issue similar to what you’ve described. Here’s a quick video demonstrating a test https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/2emdhp8ltfgbwabvj3cke/heading-text.mp4?rlkey=9iu8u09dyzw1ipzrlsx77jrsb&st=ozq42qhk&dl=0

If you’d like us to investigate your specific setup, please feel free to open a ticket on the support forum.

Thank you in advance.

Hello. I find it weird that some of the pages I’ve created have the permalink -2 next to them. But I only have less than 10 website pages and have either trashed all of the other ones from the demo link that Salient has. I want to make sure that the permalink has the page name without any added number to it.

Hey epdallas, Salient does not alter the permalinks of posts/pages. Have you verified that the ‘-2’ getting added only occurs when Salient is active and have you tried emptying your trashed pages? If so, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards so that we can follow up.

Thanks in advance

I just found the problem. I named the images similar so the permalink recognized the images as the first page.

The video lightbox on desktop is coming out very large and almost covers the entire screen making navigation experience very difficult. It looks fine on mobile however. How can I adjust this? https://www.temporary-url.com/043FE

Hey ehong33234,

You have custom CSS added to your site which is altering the aspect ratio of your Lightbox. You will need to remove or modify the following snippet in order to correct that:

https://pastebin.com/xsqDHh9r

Kind regards

Hello, we actually put that code in at the suggestion of ThemeNectar because our vertical videos were coming out tiny on mobile and desktop. If we remove this it will create a problem on the other pages that have vertical videos. What can we do?

You would need to limit that code for specific pages that require it rather than loading it globally then. i.e. removing it from the Salient options panel and placing it inside of CSS box on each page/product where you need it.

Kind regards

My question: is it possible to put the name, price and buy button at the bottom. The styles that the theme has do not allow me to put the personalized attributes of the products and I simply want everything above to be outside of the product photography. it is possible with additional css. Thank you.

Could you look at why in the mobile version the products in every two lines have the photographs together?

How can I remove the related Products on the website, I have disabled the button but it still appears.

Hey grafismo54,

1. That would not be possible without child theme customization, as each of those items would need to be unhooked and then revoked after the other content.

2. I’m not sure I see what you’re referring to, https://ibb.co/JQf1YTZ but would be happy to follow up on the support forum.

3. We do not offer a theme option to disable Related Products, as that’s a core feature of WooCmmerce which is automatically populated. However, you could disable them by adding the following snippet into a child theme functions.php: https://pastebin.com/9ck9NtR7

Hello,

I am running a web agency and considering using the Salient theme to create customized websites for multiple clients. To streamline the process, we plan to create a few sample designs using the Salient theme. These sample designs will serve as references during the planning phase, and each final website will be uniquely customized to meet the specific requirements of each client.

For each client project, we plan to purchase a separate Salient Regular License. I would like to confirm whether the following usage complies with the licensing terms:

Using Sample Designs: Is it permissible to create a few sample designs with a Regular License and use them as reference materials during the planning phase for multiple client projects? Custom Websites for Clients: Based on the sample designs, we will customize each website by adding unique content (e.g., logos, text, images, and menus) tailored to individual clients. Does this approach align with the Regular License terms? Regular License Scope: If we purchase a separate Regular License for each client project, and the theme is used for only one website per license, does this comply with your licensing terms? We aim to fully comply with Salient’s licensing policies while providing high-quality, customized solutions for our clients. Thank you for clarifying, and I look forward to your response.

Hey form_yami,

If you’re not deploying a website for a client prior to purchasing a license, you might be ok with that approach. However, I would run the same thing by the licensing department with Envato for final clarification: https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Is there an easy way to change the max-width of the container from 1425 to 840px? I would like to have a compacter, more centered website. Thank you so much.

Hey nikobruggemans,

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) {
    body .container,
    body .material #search-outer #search {
        max-width: 850px;
    }
}

Kind regards
