Dear Theme Nectar Team,

have two Problems. Im using the non responsive option for Mobiles.

1.By using a full width column with a paralax background-picture ans some text inside, everything works fine on Desktop, you see the picture in full width, but on mobiles you see just a part of the background picture, something around 10% of the width…

2.Inside my portfolio project (projectdesription as sidebar, on right side), on desktop everything works fine, on mobiles the description text appears on wrong position, not in the sidebar on the right side, it appers behind the last projectpicture…

You can check the problem of my test-homepage on mobile and desktop on test.3dhandwerk.de

Please help..

Hey,

1. Could you please let me know what phone you’re seeing this on?

2. Try adding this into the custom css box in your Salient options:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
body.single-portfolio #sidebar.fixed-sidebar, body.single-portfolio #sidebar {
width: 203px !important;
}
}

Cheers

1.Hey, im using Iphone5…i dont understand the problem, it seems the background of the column is not using the max width of the iphone…is there maybe another solution to get a full width background with textcontent inside, where the background isnt cutted on mobiles? thanx

1.oh sorry, i forget, by adding the code to the custom css, the problem with the description is still there

Hello everyone….. Has anybody experienced an issue with woocommerce used on Salient during checkout when selecting a state from the dropdown for billing or shipping? I got WP/Salient/Woocommerce all up to date with latest versions and I cannot get a state entered. Cant type one in and nothing comes from dropdown. It happens on every device and browser. I submitted a login for Support to check it out but never heard anything. Google tells me others have had the issue but only in the past, not on current versions. Looking for any help. Thanks!!!

Hey – I just answered your ticket in regards :)

Cheers

Hi, Same problem than henrypjs here ! Can you help ? Thanks

Hey En_1_mot, please see my response to his comment in regards :)

well ,ok thanks, a week to go then .:-) ...

PS: since I don’t use woocommerce, I hope the fix will still apply to my portfolio ?

PS 2: I love Salient, I would just have loved to get a real tuto to go with it… the ones you have posted are not detailed enough … well now it’s more or less up to my expectations but I invested solid hours in it, not being a WP-Champ !

Hey,

thanks for the additional feedback :)

Cheers

Hi ! Your work is amazing. Thank u for everything. Just one quick question, I’ve been trying to remove the featured image in the portfolio section (when you open item page) but couldn’t find how. Can you help me ? Thanks

Okay my bad, don’t know why but the first time i tried checking the box to hide the featured image it didn’t work. But now it does. That’s perfect. Ang again amazing work. The theme / all the options it’s just wonderful.

Bravo

Hey,

glad you got it sorted out :)

Cheers

Hi,

I’ve installed Polylang plugin but I’ve a problem only on the product page of the english part of the site. When I click on the product page (Store), it doesn’t show nothing.

All the products is translated, I’ve checked all the CPT for Polylang, Taxonomies etc…etc… all works fine (cart, account, checkout) but the products page doesn’t work. I’m using woocommerce.

Here’s the link to italian version: http://www.delord.it Here’s the link to english version: http://www.delord.it/en

Any idea on how to solve?

I’ve tried also this solution but it doesn’t work http://misha.beshkin.lv/woocommerce-polylang-shop-page-in-proper-language/

Thank you

Hey,

Have you also tried to deactivate Salient for another theme to verify the store pages work normally?

Cheers

Yes, it still doesn’t work… any idea on where have I to insert the code mentioned in the link?

I’ve inserted in the function.php

I would recommend opening this matter on the WooCommerce forums as someone will most likely be able to help over there in regards :)

Cheers

salient in some ways seems a lot of trouble. Do not open in a new window down menu. See the source view, Please help.

Hey mummy0217,

I’m a little confused as to what you’re asking me to look into – are you trying to get your menu links to open in a new window?

Cheers

Hi ,

Has this feature updated in the 5.0.1 version?

Quote from previous comment ///////////////////// Hi,

I’m having multiple project categories (e.g. Cat A, Cat B, Cat C & Cat D) for my portfolio.

When I enter the detailed page of the individual portfolio pages and click on the back/forward buttons, it cycles through all the pages from Cat A to D). Is there any way to stop that from happening? I would only want the back/forward button to cycle through portfolio pages of the SAME project category, and NOT ALL project categories.

Henry

Hey Henry,

That will be in the next update – v5.0.1 was just a woocommerce bugfix for the new release they made

Cheers

Thanks! When should I expect for next release?

a little over a week :)

Hi guys,

Is there anyway to enable shortcodes when typing in the page title? I want to use a first name shortcode to say something along the lines of ‘hi, firstname here’ I tried with a plugin but it just displays the actual shortcode, not the users first name.

Thanks

Hey MattVanDyck,

I’d read over this in regards: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-use-a-shortcode-in-a-page-or-post-title

It’s going to take a filter that’ll have to add in the functions.php file

Cheers

I enable the “Automatic Post Excerpts” but I don’t see the “read more” button. Please help.

http://vkick.com/it-blogs/

Sorry, I don’t really understand what I need to do. I want to have the “read more” button like what you have on your demo site. I thought enable “Automatic Post Excerpts” will do that. Do you mean I have to enable “Automatic Post Excerpts” plus editing the processing.php file? And, what short code should I add and add it where? Thank you.

http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266

Hey,

The page you’ve linked is using the actual visual composer blog element – if you use that the read more buttons will show up without having to do any code edits :)

Cheers

Hi there,

I’m not certain when this happened, but it looks like the template files in /Salient/woocommerce/ are outdated as per this message in my dashboard.

“Your theme has bundled outdated copies of WooCommerce template files. If you notice an issue on your site, this could be the reason.”

The woo status tells me these are the template files in questions:

salient/woocommerce/cart/cart.php version 2.1.0 is out of date. The core version is 2.3.0,
salient/woocommerce/content-product.php,
salient/woocommerce/content-single-product.php,
salient/woocommerce/single-product/product-image.php,
salient/woocommerce/single-product/tabs/description.php,
salient/woocommerce/single-product/tabs/tabs.php

I also noticed that my cart page doesn’t look the same as it used to.

http://pbrd.co/1L0B6oz

The styles for the number field plus and minus are gone.

I don’t have any other woocommerce plugins installed, so I don’t think anything else is effecting it. Any ideas?

Thank you!

Just emailed you. Thanks!

Oh, it looks like the cart icon is showing up. I’m probably a dummy and didn’t add anything to the cart first. I assumed it would show regardless. Still the other issue mentioned in my email though. Thanks again.

Glad you sorted the first item – open your woocommerce/single-product/product-image.php and add this:

wp_enqueue_script('iosSlider');<pre>

directly under:

<pre>global $post, $product, $woocommerce, $options;<pre /></pre></pre></pre>

I try to use the Ultimate Visual Composer add on with your version of VC but nothing happens when I click on select link when I want the element to navigate to the link I want. I tried to use the Ihover function but I can’t select links there. I researched it online the issue and the add on creator says your version of VC is outdated and it needs to be updated. So I disabled your version of VC an everything seemed works perfect. However when I do that and install the stand alone version of VC the theme mobile menu icon that sandwich icon disappears and no matter what I do so far won’t show. It is clickable but its completely white, however when clicked the menu drops down. I tried to change the color of it even with !important nothing.

How can I fix that? Or can you update your VC so the Ultimate visual composer Ihover works on it?

I know its really specific issue and other than this the theme by far the best I ever worked with. It has so much answer to everything and already easily integrate into many client request. I have been using this theme since 2yrs now and still my favorite to work with :) Good job and keep up the good work.

Thank you

Hey Zoltanwebdesign,

The next update will include an updated VC

Cheers

Sounds great! Hope it comes soon :)

Should be a bit over a week

Cheers

I am trying to set up a gallery where each link opens a lightbox video instead of the featured image.

Just like this http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/gallery-only-example/

I have tried using the image gallery but cant change the link.

I have tried the portfolio option but do not need the portfolio page to open. I only want the lightbox with a video.

Thanks for any help!

Also, is there an option to make the Nectar Slider loop back to slide 1 when it reaches the last slide? ie after slide 7/7, clicking the right arrow goes to slide 1/7.

Nevermind, I found the “lightbox” only option for the portfolio. Thank you!

Hey!

There is an option to loop the slider in that regard. Check the visual composer element settings :)

Cheers

Hi,

With the new visual composer update that is coming soon. Will there be front end editing possibilities?

If not it is possible to make it work? Or would I be better off buying VC? Or would that not work with Salient as it already has VC??

Thanks for your time :)

Hey,

1. It’ll be out in the upcoming release

2. I’m not going to enable the frontend editor by default but if you used the raw plugin it would be there – it just wouldn’t contain the Salient specific elemenets

Cheers

Hi, how can I do for have a custom header bar for each page? For example, the header bar will be height just 6px and with background color black and font color white, with inside a custom text.

Also for the custom footer for each page.

How can we do it?

Hey Filippo10,

Are you talking about the header navigation bar or a page header that sits under it?

Cheers

First of all your theme looks fantastic! :)

I have one question about the menu features.

Is there a way to create a sub menu bellow the slider like the one that appear in the following WordPress site?

Screenshot example: http://d.pr/i/1eWCm

Link for the live site: http://goo.gl/eg6GmB

Thanks so much in advance! WebScope

Hey,

As of now that would require some custom development

Cheers

Thanks for your fast reply!

You’re welcome :)

Greetings Nectar – we are developing a custom app using Firebase…they recommend adding their script to the header. Will that cause issues, or would you recommend wp_register_script (which is a js file link) and wp_enqueue_script in functions or child functions file…? Thanks in advance…

Hey,

You could indeed add it into the header.php file but you’d need to do so in a child theme so it doesn’t get overridden in theme updates

Cheers

Hey, great theme, working with it now finally, but have owned it for a long time. Quick question: I need the menu to go below the logo (next row sort of). How do you recommend to accomplish this? Would it be best to do via a child theme or custom CSS to preserve theme upgrade possibilities? Any tips would be much appreciated to accomplish this. We want to put social media where the menu is currently (next to logo) and menu below that row.

Hey VISIAN,

This wouldn’t be possible without significant modding since you’d need to mod the javascript as well as the css to accomplish this. It would be possible to keep it within a child theme though

Cheers

tn,

Awesome theme! 5* however, is there a way I can make my images used for the home slider to auto adjust to the width and height of the home slider? If not is there a default i can adjust my pics to fit neatly in the home slider?? Thanks in advance for you help.

Hey M4Gsupport,

1. This wouldn’t be possible as of now but i’ve noted the idea for the wishlist

2. Whatever height you set for the HomeSlider should be the same height you upload the images at for consistency – could you share your URL in regards so I can see what your current setup is?

Cheers

I currently have a row that is split 1/3+2/3, when the screen width drops below 1000px wide it splits into two rows. Is it possible to keep it as one single row from 690px to 1000px?

Thanks

Hey – it would be possible with custom css – if you can share your URL in regards with the page in question I’d be glad to assist :)

Hi,

looking at your theme and it is very functional.

I like full width single product page but it lacks product navigation. I know I can add sidebar but I do not like classic shop style.

What I see as opportunity if possible is to add product list (image or names) to the sidewidget area. Would that be possible?

Just to make sure I am clear, I want to add product listing to sidewidget area?

regards, Vladimir

One more thing, is it possible to have fixed footer menu. So that the page has fixed bar on top and bottom and when the page is scrolled it stays fixed. I hope I am not asking too much ;)

Hey Vladimir,

1. You can add a sidebar with either product style – you could indeed use some of the woocommerce widgets for that in regards though

2. Yes but it would require some custom css in regards :)

Cheers
