Hello ThemeNectar!

The issue with the image links in the current version 5.5.2 is a showstopper for the site we have in development at the moment and need to launch on Thursday.

As we also need WooCommerce 2.3x integration, we’d like to roll back to version 5.0.1 or 5.5 until the next release.

Is there a place where we can download 5.0.1 or 5.5?

Thanks in advance again :) !

Hey 0L4F,

The image link issue will be sorted today – the current release should still have woocommerce 2.3x integration, were there any problems you could list though?

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar,

thanks again for your awesome support :) ! The image linking is our main concern at the moment, so this is great news!

Does this mean a 5.5.3 release is imminent? \o/

Cheers!

Yes – it’ll be up within a couple hours :)

Here are couple questions about Nectar slider. How to make images clickable to lightbox? And I noticed strange behavior of right slider arrow numbers, it shows 1/2 3/3 4/3

Hey,

1. You currently can’t do this without some custom development – but if you used the image gallery element instead of a Nectar Slider directly there should be an option to handle this

2. That will be fixed in todays minor update :)

Cheers

Thanks, the update is appreciated) Could you please point me to the way of the custom development?

Hey again – check out this in regards: http://studio.envato.com/

Hello,

I am a very happy user of this theme. However, I have been reading some complaints about the new theme update, mainly due to some VC issues.

I only use the VC to insert the Nectar Slider on my index pages. To accomplish this, I placed the following shortcode on my index.php file:

echo do_shortcode('[vc_row type="full_width_content" bg_position="left top" bg_repeat="no-repeat" bg_color="#fcfcfc" text_color="dark" text_align="center"][vc_column width="1/1" animation="none" centered_text="true"][nectar_slider loop="true" flexible_slider_height="true" full_width="true" arrow_navigation="true" desktop_swipe="true" parallax="true" location="Home" slider_transition="slide" button_sizing="regular" slider_height="580" autorotate="5000"][/vc_column][/vc_row]');

Will the new theme update prevent my shortcode from working?

Best regards

Hey brenolara, that will still work normally – most issues encountered by users were simply caused by not activating the VC plugin since it was separated into one

Cheers

Hi,

Great theme – loving it! I have one issue with iPad/iPhone view. I agree that hiding the “View Larger” and “More Details” buttons are a good idea, however, when I view on iPad/iPhone and I click an image, nothing happens UNLESS you happen to place your finger on the space where the button to “More Details” would have been. How can I make the whole thumbnail active?

Thanks, Wizard247

Hey – add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:

@media only screen and (min-device-width: 481px) and (max-device-width: 1025px) and (orientation:landscape) {
.portfolio-items .col .work-item:not(.style-2):not(.style-3):not(.style-4) .work-info .vert-center {
        height: 100%;
        top: 0 !important;
        transform: none !important;
        -webkit-transform: none !important;
    }
}

Legend! That fixed it. :) Happy!!

Hi guys

Trying to trouble shoot possible plugin conflict: https://wordpress.org/plugins/gwebpro-store-locator/

It’s always difficult where to begin, however when this plugin is switched on the Google map through salient disappears.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Hey promotem,

it’s most likely enqueuing a separate copy of google maps API – try changing this in the map.js file located in the js folder

if(typeof google == 'undefined') {
         $.getScript('https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&callback=mapAPI_Loaded');
     } else {

         $(window).on("pronto.render", function(){
             mapAPI_Loaded();
         });

         //$(window).trigger('resize');
         //mapAPI_Loaded();
         //setTimeout(function(){  $(window).trigger('resize'); },200);

     }

to this:

$(window).on("pronto.render", function(){
     mapAPI_Loaded();
});

 //$(window).trigger('resize');
 //mapAPI_Loaded();
 //setTimeout(function(){  $(window).trigger('resize'); },200);

I love this theme but am having trouble with getting the portfolio section how I would like it. Is there a way to do something like seen on this website? (http://www.imagemakersclient.com/ct6/portfolio-item/al-appliance-servicing/)

I like how that site has a gallery option for users to scroll through (of images) when they drill down to a specific portfolio item.

Please let me know if this is possible – thanks! -CT

Hey!

Yes – you can use the image gallery element located in Visual Composer to place something like that :)

Cheers

I’d like to have boxed layout on desktop and full width layout on mobile, is this built in yet? I saw you mentioned about 5 months ago it becoming a built in behavior but mine is still boxed on mobile. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Hey – Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:

@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
#boxed {
  width: 100%!important;
}
}

Ok perfect thanks! I appreciate the quick support guys.

Hello Salient,

We can’t get into the Support area. Our page at http://kampkamila.sabalie.biz/blog-2/ sometimes acts very dysfunctional and we can’t figure our why.

Best Regards, Sabalie

Hey Sabalie,

after multiple reloads on Firefox/Chrome I can’t seem to notice anything wrong – could you describe what happens when you notice the issues?

Cheers

http://codecanyon.net/item/ultimate-addons-for-visual-composer/6892199 i bought this plugin but doesnt seem to work. can you help me out please? it shows up in the VC but doesnt work at all.

thanks

so i made the update and everything got messed up. can you assist me in getting things back to normal????

false alarm

Hey – glad you got it :)

Hi guys,

Your theme is outstanding, thanks for that.

One problem. I can’t figure a way to translate/change the sold out button on the category pages which is called ‘read more’.

Can you give advice on how to either:

- change the name ‘read more’ without touching functions.php (don’t work with child themes)

- use a plugin to work with custom sold out badges on the category page.

Thank you for your help. Keep up the good work.

My url is: www.unbegun.nl

Hey!

This should be translatable through the .po file. You can use a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/codestyling-localization/

Cheers

Thanks for the advice. I just used the plugin and searched through all Woocommerce and Salient theme po/mo files, but the ‘read more’ button is not listed there.

Any other idea?

Thank you.

The “alert” on the WP dashboard for the VC plugin issue does not work.

There is no visible alert in either the Theme Forest Update Email nor in the “Update Graphic” on the homepage of this theme showcase about the VC issue.

If you dont fix these things soon you are going to be seeing a shittonne of comments here regarding this update.

Hi There, I’m saying that there is no notice at all, as others have indicated here as well – and there’s no indication on the Update Graphic on the Salient ThemeForest page… just a heads up if you dont want to keep seeing the comments from your clients saying the theme is broken ;)

Hey – thanks for the clarification. This is the message that should appear when activating Salient and the plugin is not installed http://i.imgur.com/GMAoIa9.jpg – I agree with you that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to also add a note on the main description about this.

Cheers!

def never saw that warning and as you can see i’m old hat at this… so had to remove and install and remove the theme 3 times before finally reading up that the VC had been removed and had to be installed stand-alone… i think most people are going to just delete and install the theme without seeing any warnings for the major change…

Does anyone know how the theme can be set as one page, as it is here – http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266 ? Thanks

I added a slider and some text to my home page, but the footer is over the slider. How can I fix this?

Hey – could you kindly open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look? https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Cheers

Are there any good Calendar Plug-ins for Salient? Thanks

Does anyone know how the Call to Action buttons actually work? Many thanks

Hey – you can define your data in the CTA section of the admin panel and it should display on every page above the footer. If that’s not working for you please share your URL in regards :)

You’re welcome :)

I have a question for the creative blog demo how do i get the images to come out instead of the blog itself. Im just getting a masonry looking blog instead of the big nice looking square images you have on the landing page.

Hey, you need to choose the masonry overlaid style in your blog options tab of the Salient options panel – you can then define the post image sizing on a per post basis when editing/creating your posts :)

Is there a way to make this theme show what is set as the default values for a product in WooCommerce? This does not seem to be working at the moment.

Hey mikefoden,

Could you kindly let me see a screenshot in regards showing the information you’re missing that appears when using another theme?

Cheers

Hello,

When using a parallax header in the portfolio pages, the header image appears to fade in before loading.

Is it possible to disable this initial fade in so that the image shows on first load – and then still parallaxes?

Cheers!

Joe

Hey Joe,

Add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:

#page-header-bg[data-parallax="1"] {
  opacity: 1!important;
}

Cheers

Hey ThemeNectar!

A question about the WooCommerce image slider (iosSlider): I’m trying to resize it on mobile (make it smaller), but everything I try seems to get overridden…

I tried setting image sizes in WooCommerce -> Settings: no luck.

Tried this css:

.iosslider .slider .slide { float: left; width: 200px; height: 400px; }

...but the slider stays the same size. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!

Hey – Currently I can’t see any iso slider on that page, did you possible remove it since posting the link?

Cheers

Hey ThemeNectar, yes – sorry for not keeping you posted. Due to time constraints we’re currently looking for other solutions.

Thanks for the heads up!

No worries :)

Is here the way to force Nectar slider to keep image ratio and only change the height depending on screen resolution?

There is not that croping in image gallery unless nectar slider style is set

You need to set the height of the image based on how tall it would be if the width were at 1600px. please see Tahir’s response in this ticket for clarification on calculating that if you need help: https://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/340309/search/

Hmmm… could not find something concerning my question by following that link. My images are 1280×720 and so I have to put it as 900px heigh but it makes the slider 1245×902 hence crops images.(chrome, screen resolution 1680×1050)
