Hi

Not sure why but my filter links for my work page have stopped working. Even if I go into settings and turn off it still doesn’t disappear. I’m not sure if it has anything to do with changing the menu / page to work where it was previously called portfolio? can you pls help?

http://www.atomgraphics.co.uk/portfolio-2/

Hey – I’m seeing that the filters are correctly working, just to clarify are you only having a problem trying to remove them from your portfolio?

Since this I posted the msg I tried using the vertical filter instead which I’m not that keen on but it does work at least. For some reason the horizontal just won’t work, it appears but when you click on any of the categories noting happens. Don’t know why…

Another small thing pls…Can I ask for some code that will reduce the space between the bottom of my logo and the nav bar menu… you already gave me this – #header-outer, #header-space { height: 225px!important; }

which is great but the space is too big on the other bit. Thanks! (sorry to be a pain)

Hey again,

1. Could you kindly set up a test page so I can take a look at this behavior?

2. Use this and change the height of the other snippet:

body header#top nav > ul > li > a {
  padding-top: 15px!important;
}

I am developing a site for a client, transfering from html to wordpress. I want to avoid having the wordpress site show up in Google Analytics.

My thought is to use: <meta name=robots” content-”noindex”> where is the best place for this to be inserted?

Hey SteveZL,

You can use that in the header.php file within the head tag :)

Cheers

thank you.

You’re welcome :)

I would like to display the menu description (available as a field in the menu editor) underneath the top menu items. I know that I probably need to change the code on the header.php a bit. Have you got a snippet for this?

Hey,

It would indeed take some development – here’s a guide on it http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-add-menu-descriptions-in-your-wordpress-themes/ :)

Cheers

I’ve bought your theme, website is: www.learntechnique.com ran p3 profiler and i get this: http://i.imgur.com/RFIgdTB.jpg show extremely long load times due to theme any ideas?

i’ve disabled all plugins and the slow loading was still there, i changed to twenty fiften and boom speed was instant, is there something that needs fixing with the theme?

Hey,

Running the same plugin i’m getting different results: http://i.imgur.com/0LFFbLn.png – could you kindly open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look?

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar,

I’ve updated the theme to the latest version but it looks like in Chrome only the header and footer are showing. Everything in-between is white. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thank you in advance,

Tim

Hey Tim, Have you installed the Salient Visual Composer and cleared your cache?

If so please share your URL so I can take a look :)

Hi TeamNectar,

I’ve got a question about the client slider. The images of the slider or not provided by a good ALT-tag. The alt-tag of all images are listed als ‘Client’. Is there a way to provide the “Client Name” as ALT-tag for the images?

Thanks in advance!

Hey! You can add the alt tag on the client shortcode directly if you switch into the visual editor :)

Having an issue with product in the Shop. It defaults to adding multiples on two on everything. If I put in ‘1’ and click plus, it goes ‘3,5,7…’ If I put in ‘2’ and click plus, it goes ‘2,4,6,...’

Please advise.

Hey again – have you verified you’re using the latest WooCommerce/theme versions?

Cheers

Actually a response to another concern correct both this and the other issue. It was to change page transition method to Standard from Ajax in the Salient options. Odd that it correct this too.

Very strange but thanks for noting :)

Hey ThemeNectar,

I was wondering how to change the excerpt length in search results, where are these settings defined?

How would i overwrite these through my child theme?

Thanks!

Hey,

Add this into your child theme functions.php file:

//excerpt length
function excerpt_length_mod( $length ) {

    $excerpt_length = 30; 

    return $excerpt_length;
}

add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'excerpt_length_mod', 999 );

Cheers

Loving the theme. Just wondering how everyone gets the funky hover over buttons?

Hey! Which button style are you referring to specifically?

Hey there, does your theme offer a submenu? My idea is to use a submenu for a section in a one page site

Hey – yes you can use submenus by nesting items in the admin panel or you could also use mega menus with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZPPUTbvTKQ

Cheers

Please Create This Option In The Next Version of Salient: The arrow button on the bottom of the Nectar Slider – Give us size options 1. Regular 2. Medium 3. Large 4. Extra Large

In regards to the arrow, also give us two options where the arrow fades in and out and another option where the arrow does not fade and just stays as the arrow. A lot of people would prefer this as it’s easier for site visitors to understand.

Also, in Firefox the bullets below the arrow are not accessible as they are so close to the arrow. Can you create more spacing between the arrow and the bullets.

The top right 3 line navigation for the side bar: Can you please make this around 3 or 4 times the size that it is right now as it might not always be as prominent for people to understand to click it.

Thank you

Hey – thanks for the recommendations, the update that came out today was just a mandatory bug fix release, but I’ve noted your feature suggestions

I would really appreciate these requests as it would really help us out a lot as designers, but also even more importantly, the site visitors.

Hi there

http://www.voksenadhd.dk/brevkasse/

Every second time I load the page (I have experienced this before with other pages and installations), the top cuts off and hides behind the header. Other times it loads normally.

+ This page takes extremely long to load, and I dont know why. Even if I disable the plug-in, this page takes like 15 sec respond time..?

Hey again – still seeing the page load like this http://i.imgur.com/aXn9eRs.png have you tried to switch the page transition method in your Salient options panel from AJAX to standard?

Cheers

Removing the ajax load worked by the way – thanks

Error in Firefox for Nectar Slider: The “Next/Prev Slide Preview on Hover” shakes on the sides of the browser in Firefox when hovering over the arrow on the left or right, which disrupts manual sliding. Can you please fix this in the next update which I hope will come out soon.

Also, very important regarding this feature: Instead of once hovering over the arrow in the circle left or on the right, just make it clickable, instead of a slight preview of the next slide. It can be confusing to site visitors. Just clicking an arrow to go to the next slide is just fine. I really hope you consider changing this as it will help a lot. You are going in the right direction. It just needs a clean up in this feature.

*Thank you for being my favorite Theme Developer and creating my favorite WordPress Theme, Salient.

Hey – that new style revolves around the preview effect, I’ve noted to test on Firefox on various devices since I haven’t been able to see the shakiness you’ve described yet

Please view my home page slider on Firefox but on an iMac or other Mac devices. Perhaps sometimes PCs are different. This really needs to be fixed. Thank you.

I’ll be glad to take a look – could you please lend me your URL?

Hi,

One Page Down Arrow not working properly, everytime I click on it it would roll down but not to the content below it. Here’s the link http://moringamate.com/true-vitality/

Thank You

Hey xchyler15,

If you already verified no plugins are causing the conflict please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look :)

Cheers

Hi Salient,

I’ve updated to the latest version, but why is the menu in “Nectar Shortcodes” or Salient settings under “typography so distorted? Its getting pretty annoying and hard to use due to the long drop down effect..

Hey Luffie,

The menus shouldn’t of changed in recent version – could you kindly share a screenshot of what you’re seeing?

Cheers

Hey guys…love the theme, just wondering if/when you are going to upgrade the Visual Composer to the latest version. There are a lot of updates to VC that make the workflow much easier.

Salient currently has version Version: 4.3.5 and WP Bakery has released version 4.4.2

I would actually prefer that we be able to separate the VC plugin from the theme, as they seem to update more frequently then you guys do.

From what I can tell so far, the only file difference is the js_composer.php file. Aside maybe for a few extra files VC added to the latest.

So in theory, if I edited the js_compose.php file to include the Salient code and the new updates from VC, then it SHOULD be good. Yes?

I caught some more file differences. I will try it out and see what I can do. The problem with using the Raw VC is that it breaks the theme. It doesn’t just remove certain features, it actually breaks the site. One main error has to do with the Nectar slider.

Hey – the only confirmed issue with using the raw latest VC plugin is that some icons don’t appear, the other elements should work normally. Could you kindly open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look?

Hi ThemeNectar. Is there a way to remove “related products” on product page?

Nice theme btw.

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

.woocommerce .products.related {
   display: none!important;
}

Thank you, it works like a charm

Hi there! Can you tell me how I can setup my woo products to display with the add to cart button / link directly under the image and product title? Like you have on http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce/

Side note, it would be ideal if at some point you converted the pdf documentation to html. Easier to search, and I imagine easier for you to update.

Thanks for the help!

Hey bravewhale!

You can change your products to that style in your WooCommerce options tab within the Salient options panel :)

Cheers

Oh I see! Also, I would love to have an option to have the add to cart link display under the product plus show the price above that. Having the price only on hover isn’t usable on touch devices, and I think it’s important for customers to see the cost without needing to hover. An option for this type of display would be awesome :)

Hey – thanks for the suggestion :)

Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar,

How did you setup the row on the below “demo page / image” to allow the 3 columns to stack on their own row on resolutions under 1000px?

My setup keeps forcing the text to stack tall and stay in the same 3 column format instead of going into their own row. I’ve even imported the clean all purpose demo and it acts nothing like your live version of the page.

I only want to use “full width background” and not “full width content”, as I do not want the 3 column row to expand the full width of the page on desktops.

I’ve tried everything.

http://www.captmacks.com/fishing/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/full-width-column-mobile.jpg

http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/about/about-us-extended/

Hey – the latest VC version switched how some columns work on that display, to get the functionality you’re looking for add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 690px) {
body .vc_row-fluid .wpb_column {
  width: 100%!important;
}
}

Thanks. That resolved it. However, now the first-child in the column has a smaller margin than the other columns. It is farther to the left instead of centered as the others.

Please see image:

http://www.captmacks.com/fishing/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/full-width-column-mobile-3.jpg

Hey – change the snippet to:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 690px) {
body .vc_row-fluid .wpb_column {
  width: 100%!important;
  margin-left: 0!important;
  padding-left: 0!important;
}
}

Hi Nectar, Thank you for the latest update. :) The search icon in the nav bar disappears when holding a tablet (iPad) in portrait mode. Is it intentional? This also happens on the demo: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog/

Hey – yes, the search bar is then placed in the mobile main menu at the bottom :)

Ah, very clever indeed. Well, I opted not to place a menu in the header. It’s located in the slideout widget instead so….hmmm….I’m rethinking my design now. Perhaps a few links at the top would also be useful. Yes. Thanks!

You’re welcome :)
