Hi there

Looking to create a login/register box in the top of the page have tried a few plugins but none seem compatible Can you recommend a specific plugin that works with Salient?

Hey again – WP Sliding Login | Register Panel seems to work fine. You just need to adjust the z-index on the login bar to make it visible above the header (add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel)

#toppanel {
    z-index: 99999;
}

Perfect! thanks so much

You’re welcome :)

Hello, I have a question how to set up a page with a frame. I want to set up a sidebar, using the Accordion feature that will have a list of links. I would like these links to open on an adjacent frame in the same window. Looking at the Visual Composer, I am setting up the sidebar in a row on the left side, and have a main frame on the right of it where the links would hopefully open up to. I saw that this might require using iframes to open up. Is this feature built-in into Salient/Wordpress?

Thank you!

Hey simarchi123,

If you want to use raw HTML frames you’d have to do so without any features in WP/Salient – http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present/frames.html but you could also simply make different pages which would be linked from the sidebar where the only content that would change would be in the editor thus appearing the same.

Cheers

Hello,

I have been trying to get the nectar slider to work – both the ones I created, and the ones included from the dummy content don’t show up when I place them on pages.

Hey vanialee,

I would need to see a URL to assist further as there’s no known issue with the placement of Nectar Sliders in pages – have you already ensured that there’s no issues with plugins you may have installed conflicting with the theme?

Cheers

Hi Nectar. Regarding the / that appears in Recent Projects title, where exactly can I remove that in the shortcode-processing.php file? Would be great if this was an option in the Admin panel. Thanks as always.

Hey Joe,

You can find that at this line:

$title_label_output = '<h2>'.$heading.'<a href="'. $page_link_url.'" class="button"> / '. $page_link_text .'</a></h2>';

Cheers

Hi. Updated but have now lost my accent colours on the portfolio. I have now 2 red buttons with no rollover colour. They were red, the accent, see here, http://visual360media.com/portfolio/

I am using some custom css you gave me a while ago to alter buttons on the home page slider,

page-header-bg h1, #page-header-bg .subheader {

color: #FFF!important; background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.4)!important; }

/** Extra ***/ body .orbit-wrapper div.slider-nav span.right, body .orbit-wrapper div.slider-nav span.left { background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.6)!important; }

Thanks

Just answered, thanks for submitting a ticket :)

Ah,thanks. Ive relaised that i have been downloading new salient and copy/paste to my ftp software and uploading. I have been deletin online copy but not copy on my pc. I have therefore been overwriting some files but of course the old are still there! I have now renamed both online folder and pc folder to salient_old. Am now uploading new folder so all should be good! Thank you !

You’re very welcome :)

Hi!

On product page, is it possible to move “Description and Reviews” tabs to position: above Related Products and under product image, on the left side?

Thanks!

Hey marcusalbertsson!

You could remove this from the functions.php file to accomplish that:

//change tab position to be inside summary
remove_action('woocommerce_after_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_output_product_data_tabs', 10);
add_action('woocommerce_after_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_output_product_data_tabs', 1);    

Cheers

Super, works great. Thanks!

You’re welcome :)

Hi Nectar. Is it possible to use the ajax icon loader from Ascend in the original theme? Would I have to re-upload that icon or is there another method? I wasn’t sure where this icon was located. Thanks again.

Hey Joe,

That icon is actually created through css and is not an image you can upload directly – unfortunately getting it to apply for the default skin would require modding to the files themselves to call it

Cheers

Hi,

Love the new update and the Ascend skin. Already working on implementing it. A bit of a problem: I tried to use WPML to translate my site but i had some trouble. I contacted their support and i`m waiting for the fix. Until then, i uninstalled and deleted all WPML plugins and extensions. However, problem is: now, whenever i go from one page to the other, I get an error message: “SynthaxError: Unexpected Identifier”. After I click Ok, the page loads. I am using Chrome.

Any idea what might be wrong?

Thanks! Really great support so far for any previous issues.

Hey calin_balea!

That’s odd – have you tried deactivating any minification/caching plugins you may of had on prior to doing the update to allow for all clean files to be active?

Cheers

Tried it. Deactivated W3 Total Cache and deleted my browser cache for the last 4 weeks. Still the same error message.

So the issue is not a new one that arose with the update?

Hello Nectar & fellow Salient users,

Does anyone have experience using Salient with Video SEO for WordPress SEO by Yoast? I can’t get any of my videos indexed using the plugin and Salient. The dynamically generated video-sitemap.xml sitemap contains 0 URLs: http://hingedigital.com/video-sitemap.xml The other site maps generated by WordPress SEO by Yoast seam to work just fine: http://hingedigital.com/sitemap_index.xml The video site map is apparently purposefully not listed here because it doesn’t have any items in it (although it apparently exists).

I’ve tried adding one or several (see below) of Salient’s custom Field names in the plugin’s Custom Field text box, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference in the resulting xml, though the plugin reports scanning a lot of videos and finding vimeo links in each one: _nectar_portfolio_extra_content,_nectar_video_embed,project_details

I’m using WordPress 3.8.3, Salient 4.5.1, and Video SEO for WordPress SEO by Yoast 1.7.2.

Any ideas of how to fix this?

Thanks, Roland

Hey again!

It seems the wrong line is commented out – the only that needs to be remove should be near line 4089 inside of the sliderArrowCount function

Hi. Just to be clear, in your earlier comment you said to comment this code: if($(this).find(’.video-wrap video’).get(0).currentTime != 0 ) $(this).find(’.video-wrap video’).get(0).currentTime = 0;

The only occurrence of that line is at line 3999 in nectar-slider.js – Am I commenting the wrong line entirely?

The sliderArrowCount function doesn’t start until line 4339, which is nowhere near 4089. Can you please re-confirm the code and line number I should be commenting?

Thanks! Roland

Hey,

Different versions of the theme will have different line numbers, I was referencing the latest – since you’ve found the function sliderArrowCount, you should be able to find that segment inside of it a little over half way, if you can’t I’d be glad to do it for you if you can open a ticket in regards http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ :)

Cheers

Hi I updated the Salient theme but now my logo is displaying instead of being transparent. How do I fix this? It looks really bad :-/

Thank you

it’s displaying in the header, i mean.

Hey csmith1824,

Can you please share your URL so I can see what you mean?

Cheers

Hi TN,

Do you have any idea what’s wrong with my salient?

Please check: http://prntscr.com/44vpzv

Hey hookieoalo!

It looks like the admin stylesheet/js are not getting loaded – appears to be this issue: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/178318/search/

Cheers

Hi,

Is there a way of being able to use two different styles of portfolio layout, on two separate pages within one website.

I would like to use the ‘Full width – Portfolio Masonry style 4’ layout on our testimonials page, whilst leaving the 3 column layout found on our ‘Projects’ page in tact and as it is.

I think using categories I can separate the content out for each instance of the portfolios’, but I would like the two different layout styles.

Is this possible?

Cheers

Hey motivproductions,

Yes – you can use the portfolio element inside of Visual Composer instead of the portfolio page layout – this way you’ll be able to pick a different style each instance :)

Cheers

That’s great, thanks for the rapid response!

You’re very welcome :)

Thank you for developing this excellent theme and providing great support.

I’m just wondering if there is a way to enlarge the font sizes and change the font styles of Toggle Panels, Tabs and Footer Copyright text? I couldn’t find those in Salient > Typography panel. I’m asking this because those texts look so very small on my 15” laptop screen.

I’m a newbie in WP and CSS.

Hey again!

In regards to #3, add this in your custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:

article.post .more-link span, .blog-recent .more-link span,#sidebar .widget .tagcloud a, .post-tags a {
    font-size: 14px!important;
    padding: 11px 15px!important;
}

Thank you. :)

You’re welcome :)

Hello Nectar, conrgats for the 4.5.1, i see huge incrementation in site speed! :-)

I have 3 Questions:

1) Nectar Slider: When created from zero they works perfect. But when i change something in the slider, it will become a draft, wich will be posted in the blog and the slider does not load anymore. Any Idea? Had that issue also with the previous Salient Versions, but wanted to wait for that update.

2) Transparent Header: Works great for all sites, but NOT for the Main Page? All those Sites have a full size Nectar Slider as first content element. Did i miss something?

3) Transparent Logo: I uploaded a PNG but Logo does not show transparent.

Thanks for help, wisch you a ice day!

sorry, of course i am wishing you a NICE day :-)

Hey meranomaia!

1. That’s really odd – is there anyway you can open a ticket in regards so I can take a look?

2. A transparent header should be able to be used on any page that has a Slider/Page header on top or that your force the effect on (using the checkbox in the page header settings box)

3. All of these issues are not current known bugs so it would be best to see the URL in order so I can properly assist :)

Cheers!

Is it allowed to use slider backgrounds ? Or where to get them?

Hey chickenmove, this is covered in the “Dummy data” section of the user guide :)

So if I buy it, I can use them to or there are the links stated where to get them directly ?

If you’re referring to the sample images used – the links are in the bottom of the theme description in the credits section. If you’re looking for the video BG’s, the sources are listed in the user guide but most would require purchasing a license for on the appropriate stock video site :)

Hi I’m having a issue with woocommerces product gallery and the salient theme. The thumbnails get blurry when I use the salient theme but if I switch to 2014 wp theme the thumbnails are fine. Also if I add the same thumbnails with salient shortcode the thumbnails are crisp…

http://test.adikites.com/product/2015-control-bar/

Left is the product gallery right is the salient shortcode. I feel like the product gallery thumbs are being scaled up by salient…

Hey again, sorry about that! Change that to:

.single-product-main-image .images .thumbnails a {
   width: 18.5%!important;
  display: block;
  float: left;
  padding: 1.5%;
}

Thanks that worked perfectly!

You’re very welcome :)

hello TN :) on boxed layout, in 1024 width my site appears as in picture. can you help me remove left side space? (removed all custom css, but stil problem persists) ty for your all help ;) this is the screenshot: http://hizliresim.com/WWnvMQ

i found a fix: if i enable responsive design it scales just fine, but then mobile design kinda fails, because i prefer desktop design to be seen on mobile also :) (www.hiletr.net if you wan to check)

Hey hiletrnet! Is there anyway you can share the actual URL so I can confirm the functionality you’re describing?

Hey! Just updated to 4.5 – for some reason my Salient Menu has malfunctioned? The options aren’t clicks anymore – it’s just one long scroll and doesn’t update when I click ‘Save Changes’.

Is this a theme problem or a WordPress problem? And are there any fixes?

(Using Chrome)

Hey!

The issue is most likely that you renamed the salient theme folder to “salient4.5”

Roger that – i’ll reinstall and let you know. Thanks again!

You’re welcome – let me know how it goes :)

How Can I create a horizontal sub-menu open under the manu just like in the image: http://euroasia.activated.co.il/wp-content/uploads/home.jpg

Hey again Anatal,

1. This would take css/js modifications that go beyond what I can write up in here unfortunately.

2. Use this in the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:

#footer-outer {
  background-image: url('your-image.jpg')!important;
}

Cheers

Thanks. 2. I mean in that picture: http://euroasia.activated.co.il/wp-content/uploads/home.jpg there is a footer menu I want to add. How to do it?

If you wanted to call a menu in the copyright section you’d need to add it manually into the footer.php since there’s current;y no option for links horizontally like that unfortunately

hey there, great work!! is it WPML ready?

Thanks junjau! Yes, there shouldn’t be any issues using that plugin.
