Hi,
Just bought the theme. It really is a great one.
One very basic question. The latest Wordpress Version is 4.1
The ‘Software Version’ on the product description for Salient says ‘WordPress 4.0’.
Does this mean we need to look for the non-current version (4.0)?
Cheers
Hey,
No it’s 4.1 compatible, I just updated the theme description to include that 
Cheers
That’s brilliant! Thanks for the awesome support.
You’re welcome
Following up on previous question/ concern about landing-pages for blog categories:
You could create an option for redirecting specific terms to another page than your standard page. OR – the option to create custom texts for landing-pages.
Say if I create a category called “How Microsoft Office sucks!”. On this landing-page I may want like a video and some SEO-text before listing all the posts with this category attached.
I can already now create a page and simply add a blog-block. However, when the user uses the navigation, the page will not be displayed + I risk to have duplicate content on my page which Google will punish me for.
Do you know what I mean?
Cheers
Peter
Hey Peter,
Because the raw archive pages don’t have an actual page to edit in your admin panel the mods would need to be done in the index.php file itself or through custom archive templates you create based on your category name
Cheers
Hey guys, loving the theme!
Just trying to create a masonry portfolio on my home page here http://kiwisontour.nz/ and ran into an issue.
I’ve gone through and replaced the images I had with colored text boxes (set as the featured image for each portfolio item) to make things easier, all at the minimum dimensions set out in the user guide.
As you can hopefully see, there is a white space, where I would have thought the black square should have fit into.
Hope I’m not sounding too ignorant, am I missing something fundamental here / is there a way it can be fixed?
Thanks tons in advanced, really appreciate the support you guys give
Hey justdogs88!
If you reordered your projects slightly either using the date or this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/ it would fill the space – Change the order of “Queenstown Day One” to go after “Queenstown Day Three”
Cheers
You guys are legends, was scratching my head for ages trying to figure out what was going on. Seems so obvious now!
Thanks so much for the help
No problem!
Hi Nectar,
1 issue and 2 requests
Issue: Cart icon does not display when activated. I’d like this to always display regardless of resolution and regardless of products in cart or not.
Request 1: If the cart is empty can the icon link to the shop?
Request 2: How could I add social media icons to the nav menu. I really don’t want to use a plugin just to add 3 icons to the menu.
Hey dessington,
1. In the ascend skin it does always display – have you tried changing to that?
R1. It’ll still link to the cart if empty but I’ve noted the idea
R2. You’d have to add them into the header.php file for now if you didn’t want to use the secondary menu
Cheers
Hi,
I changed to the Ascend skin and it does display now but does not go to the shop page if cart is empty. What code can I change to make it go to the shop page by default?
R2. Please advise me on how to do this (I am comfortable with editing code and PHP files.
Thanks for reply.
Hey,
1. You’d need to modify this line in the header.php file:
<?php echo $woocommerce->cart->get_cart_url(); ?>
2. It would need to be added in
<ul class="sf-menu">as a custom list item
Cheers
Thanks. Sorry I would need to modify it to what (for shop icon to link to shop page instead of cart) & add the UL in where for the social icons in the menu?
Hey again,
1. It would need to be<?php $shop_page_url = get_permalink( woocommerce_get_page_id( 'shop' ); echo $shop_page_url; ?>
2. Search for “top_nav” to end up in the right ul
Hi.
1) Thanks I’ve sorted that out.
2) I found 2 instances of that and replaced each individually and it makes my entire site blank (white page)?
Hey,
2. You didn’t need to replace anything for this item – it was simply a matter of adding the icons in. Are you possibly referring to the shop URL item instead?
Yes
Could you kindly open a ticket in regards? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Hi Nectar,
I’m working with 4 text widgets in the footer and I would like to know if there is a way to adjust the how many columns each individual widget spans?
for example, I’d like to make the first widget span 6 columns and the remaining 3 span 2 columns each.
Thanks in advance.
Hey jakelongoria,
If you can share your URL in regards I’d be glad to write the css for you
Cheers
hello
just want to ask if it is possible or an option for salient to put the a menu below the slider? please
follow up question:
also is there an option you set the layout to box and full width site?
follow up question:
do salient have intro page? or something like for e.g page with “click to continue site”
Hey woodmarcom,
1. Not yet, but it’s on the to-do list
2. Yes, you can see that on the demo as well with the right hand toggle flyout
3. You’d need a plugin for that
Cheers
okay, looking forward for that feature option to interchange main nav from top and bottom of the slider (to make slider as a top header or below header) with sticky option that would be great feature added to salient theme
Hi ThemeNectar,
Thanks for continuously updating the Salient theme, and adding better e-commerce features! It’s looks great, and I love how you can have variable products now I just spotted a bug with this feature though (Ship Your Item) – when I select the green t-shirt, the main picture turns green and I can no longer see the front of the black t-shirt.
Looking forward to using this for future projects.
Thank you!
Hey localist,
The first image is intended to change with the option you select, if you change it back to black it should swap back. You could also disable this functionality in the script if you want (let me know if you would like that)
Cheers
Hi,
I installed the WordPress SEO plugin and the Home Page is no longer accessible to edit. Any idea why? If I disable the plugin I can edit the page. However I can’t edit the SEO title used by the Yoast plugin.
Any idea?
Hey slyguy, is it just your home page? If so, please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on themenectar.ticksy.com
Cheers
Hello!
Is it possible to make certain sliders with links open to a new window? (Not all, just certain ones)?
Thanks!
Hey artblend,
Yes – add the class “external-button-1” or “external-button-1” to your slide
Cheers
I see that works great when there is one external link, but how about when there is two? Can I do both external-button-1 AND external-button-2 ?
Yes, you can add both classes with a space in between them
Hello ThemeNectar,
I don’t think my issue has anything to do with your theme, but I’m kinda desperate to find the answer and I can’t find it on the internet 
. Maybe you can help me or point me in the right direction.
My issue is that I can’t check the option ‘Do not process 404 errors for static objects with WordPress’ in the plug-in ‘W3 Total Cache’. Do you have any idea what the cause and/or solution is?
Thank you!
Kind regards, Jeltje
Hey Jeltje,
Are you able to check that when you deactivate Salient?
Cheers
Hi,
In boxed version how would I add space above the header? So it is not connected to top of the browser viewport. Thanks in advance.
Great theme btw.
Hey dessington!
This would take some custom modding right now due to the nature of the fixed header – if you were ok with the header not being fixed it could be accomplished with css alone though
Cheers
Hi Having Wordpress uploaded and working I have bought Salient theme which has downloaded to zip. On trying to upload to Wordpress I am getting the following message ‘The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.’. Can anyone help or direct how to upload to WP? Thanks Fiona
Hey Fiona, you could either use FTP to transfer the theme or you could reach out to your host in regards to get the max upload size increased
Cheers
Thank you. I have managed to purchase, download and populate. However despite doing the right thing according to tutorials and research I cannot on the salient theme get a navigational menu bar (across the top or any other way) on the live site. I have set up and saved the menu under Appearance Menu and set it as the main navigation under customise. On the preview it works, but once saved and published it just states ‘No menu assigned’. This is seriously holding me up. Could you advise? Website thrive-hypnotherapy.co.uk
Apologies also where on the Salient WP theme can I change the size of the font? It only gives me a bold option or strikethrough option? Thanks
Hey,
1. It seems your destination for the theme on server ishttp://thrive-hypnotherapy.co.uk/wp-content/themes/themeforest-4363266-salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/salientwhen it should be:
http://thrive-hypnotherapy.co.uk/wp-content/themes/salient
2. You should be able to change all font sizes from the typography options tab in your Salient options panel
Cheers
Those two links are invalid? I am having problems with my purchase. Where can I get more direct customer support?
Or where do i find the destination for the theme on the server?
If you FTP in your server and find the wp-content directory, you should see the themes folder inside which will contain the references I listed above
How would I add a media print CSS rule? Thanks again!
Hey CPUBUILDS!
You can enqueue a print stylesheet in the functions.php http://codex.wordpress.org/Styling_for_Print
Cheers!Hey,
There’s an option in your project settings box for “external project URL” – you can use that to have your project lead anywhere
Cheers
Hi,
We’re really enjoying using the theme and it is very easy to work with.
One issue we’ve noticed however is with the Nectar slider. The slider seems to load perfectly when the url is directly accessed or refreshed. But when the link to a page is clicked from within the site, the page and slider loads incorrectly. The slider cuts off about 10% of the image vertically, and it no longer becomes the full screen image it originally was. This only occurs when the page is loaded from another page in the site, when the url is directly accessed or the page is refreshed it loads perfectly with no hitches.
We’re using the latest Wordpress and theme versions, keep up the great work!
Regards
Hey JoelAB!
Could you kindly share your URL so I can take a look?
Cheers
Hello, Happy new year!
I was wondering whether or not it was possible to enable the parallax backgrounds on mobile?
I understand it may be a bit of an issue as mobile devices don’t often work too well with parallax. But I’d be interested in having a little play with it.
Could you let me know how I go about enabling it?
I’ve tried deleting the following bit of code but that didnt seem to make any difference
.full-width-section.parallax_section, .full-width-content.parallax_section { background-attachment: scroll!important; background-position: center!important; }
Your help would be massively appreciated!
Thanks,
Joe
Happy new year Joe!
In your init.js file remove the conditional around this:
if(!navigator.userAgent.match(/(Android|iPod|iPhone|iPad|IEMobile|Opera Mini)/)){
parallaxScrollInit();
}
Cheers
Hey again,
- I would like to align my WPML buttons on my secondary navbar and my cart to other buttons. But I don’t know what code to use.
- And another question, I used the visual composer for all my pages but when I’m on mobile the result appears to be not so good for some pages. So is there a way to cancel formatting of the text, when seeing the mobile version ?
http://www.lacleduviager.com/Thanks !
Hey CdVA!
1. Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
#header-secondary-outer nav > ul > li > #festi-cart {
padding-top: 6px !important;
}
2. Could you give me a specific example on a page so I can take a further look and try to help?
Cheers
Is it possible to have quotation post type functioning just like image post type with Salient?
Hey JorgeAmVF,
This would require modding the entry-quote.php file located in the includes/post-templates directory
Cheers
Thank you again! I will work on it.
Sounds good
I have just managed to solve this question after long time.
You can see the results here as it would be a nice feature to take into consideration.
The key in this solutions is between the lines 96 and 117 of the referred file, but my solution does not go well with the recent posts element, only with blog element it is acceptable and it also works inside archive pages.
Thanks again!
Hey! Thanks for sharing
Hello i would like to ask a presale question.
Will i be able to create an exact or similar replica of http://www.zarahome.com/ca/en-us/ with this theme using woocomerce with a few tweaks in theme? (Full screen, with left main menu and right top shop menu without scroll down on the homepage. With similar product page)?
Thanks in advance.
Hey Hardii,
Currently there’s no left menu option like that right now – there’s a slide out menu for the right side but it’s not out statically all the time
Cheers
Hello,
I’ve noticed that portfolio navigation arrows loop through all available portfolio items (all portfolio categories). Is there any way to restrict the navigation so that it shows previous/next items only from each item’s category ?
Hey dither, as of now it would require a file mod but I’m going to add that as an option in the next release
Cheers
