Hi 5.5.5 broke my website carringtonbrigham.com and no visual composer – How do I fix? thanks for your help.

Hey – Salient v5.5 has separated Visual Composer into a plugin and is no longer automatically built in – this means when you activate the theme you’ll have to still install the Visual Composer plugin via the admin panel (there will be a prompt at the top of your screen).

Hi! I just reinstalled my theme with the latest version. One problem though, the nectar slider doesn’t really work in Safari. It loads the image very slowly and “laggs” during the load. ANy idea why this problem only occur i safari?

Hey b_lund_, could you kindly share your URL in regards?

Updating the theme wolves this problem, thanks..

Glad to hear :)

Hi Nectar,

Your theme is the best. I just upgraded to the latest version of Salient and Justified Image Grid and Foobox. My problem is that in the previous versions, JIG would fill the entire page with photos in full width background mode. Now it acts like content mode. Any ideas? Here’s a sample url: http://naainakai.org/aerials/ Thanks!!

Hey,

could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on :) themenectar.ticksy.com

?Hi, I’m having a few issues with the theme. 1. The icons, images and the pricings column won’t show on the mobile version ( I disabled the responsive design ) 2. The header for the menu is way too small on the mobile version. How could I resize it? 3. Also, i’m looking to replace the slider on the top side for an image instead, only on the mobile version. would it be possible ? Help please. Thanks! Maxime

Hey,

1. Could you kindly share your URL in regards?

2. Please see this in regards https://themenectar.ticksy.com/article/2020/

Hi there,

The website is http://cafepista.com

1. The CSS code provided didn’t help, the menu is still really small on the mobile version (note that I disabled the responsive design)

2. I know have add a preview image for the Slider, but unfortunately it’s shown too big and automatically sizing it by height instead of by width.

3. Also do you have any code that would help to make the price column more even in height. It’s now depend of the length of the title wich is a bit annoying.

Cheers

Hey again,

1. When using the non responsive version the header will indeed remain very small since the entire website is very zoomed out to fit

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

@media 
(-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2), 
(min-resolution: 192dpi) { 
.parallax_slider_outer .swiper-container, .parallax_slider_outer.first-section .nectar-slider-wrap {
   height: 300px!important;
}
}

3.

.pricing-column .pricing-column-content {
 height: 200px!important;
}

Hey Phectar quick question in regards to the dummy data.. .

Is it possible to import just a section of the dummy data, in particular the shop section?

I’m going to start selling things on my site but don’t want to completely start from scratch and would like to add just that section. I deleted everything other than the pages necessary for the site to avoid clutter.

Hey! As of now you’d have to import all the pages included with a set – if you imported the woocommerce set any pages you already have with the same name would be skipped though

So if I reload the dummy data does it overwrite the site I currently have created or can I just pick whatever pages to publish from the dummy data and delete the rest?

Hey – it will upload all pages that don’t already exist. So essentially if you don’t already have pages with the same name they will be imported

Cheers

Hi Nectar, Tahir sent me over here as this support ticket has been waiting for a week. Any help would be appreciated.

https://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/407458

Hey, sorry for the delay – i’ll be with you shortly :)

Cheers

delay was a bummer. but I love Salient and want to continue to use it. Support is key though. Ticksy & Tahir is essential. I figured out a way to handle this via CSS.

.panel .iframe-embed iframe { width:500px !important; height:315px !important; }

For some reason the theme, or woocommerce was stripping out the sizes and replacing them with 0.

Hi, really like this theme (of: ben er erg blij mee, gezien dat ik vermoed dat jullie Amsterdammer zijn, gelet op de kaart van de Kinkerbuurt in de Demo )...

Can you point me to the font-set you used in the ‘frostwave demo’? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/

Many thanks!

Hey – currently I’m not seeing that on the provided URL, could you confirm this project still shows that on your end?

Cheers

A slightly altered snippet of custom CSS solved the problem: #post-area > img { display: none !important; }

One last question: where do I alter the social buttons in this portfolio template: http://bold-test.nl/newsite/portfolio/table-rocket/

Many thanks!

Hey – they are generated in the single-portfolio.php file :)

Cheers

Nectar Team,

If you could please visit http://neileverosborne.com/about/.

When I view this page on tablets or mobile devices I am left with a large dark grey gap between the Nectar Slider and the page content.

I’ve given the Nectar slider a ‘Slider Height’ of 400 as well as a ‘Minimum Slider Height’ of 400. I’ve tired using the following snippet of code below hoping it would remove the gap but it does not work.

body .parallax_slider_outer .swiper-container, body .parallax_slider_outer.first-section .nectar-slider-wrap, body .swiper-slide, body .nectar-slider-wrap, body .swiper-container {
   height: 400px!important;
}

Can you shed some light on this as to how to remove the gap?

Thanks, EM

Hey evermaven,

as of now I’m getting an internal server error when visiting your site, could you verify it’s online?

Cheers

Hi Nectar Team,

I am not sure why you are getting an internal server error. I am viewing the site now without any errors. If possible can you please revisit the site and let me know:

a) if you are still getting an internal server error

b) how to fix my problem described above regarding the Nectar Slider on mobile devices and tablets.

Many thanks, EM

Hey evermaven,

I can see the site now :)

Add this into the custom css box:

@media only screen (max-width: 1000px) {
body .parallax_slider_outer.first-section {
  height: auto!important;
}
}

Cheers

HI! I´m using Salient 5.5.5, and on both Chrome and Opera every time a video background loops it blinks black.. is very annoying and a bit confusing from a usability perspective… is there any way to avoid this to happen? If at least I could change it for a color that matched the video first frame (white) it would be a bit better.

Hey Jussimir,

Could you please share your URL in regards?

Cheers

sorry for the long time, the url is http://vfxvideos.com.br/portfolio/

A quick question: I would like to set the ‘External Project URL’ to open all links in a new tab (or window – tab is preferable). Could you tell me what changes in the init.js I need to make?

Thanks, Andrew

Hey,

there should already be code in there to handle this – could you share your URL in regards?

Cheers

I was slow to reply here, sorry. The URL is http://footysf.com and the areas I am specifically talking about is here: http://www.footysf.com/play/

Hey – could you kindly open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a further look at why that’s not working? https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Hi ThemeNectar,

I really hope you can help me out with this.

Is it possible to have 2 portfolio pages with different content? I managed to get 2 portfolio pages but the content is the same on both pages. Is there a way that i can seperate the content?

Hey studioversemelk,

yes – you can use the portfolio element located in the visual composer page builder. This will allow you to choose your desired categories for every instance

Cheers

What do I have to do to change the mobile nav breakpoint (the point at which the mobile nav hamburger icon appear and the desktop nav disappears), from 1000px to 690px? is this easily achieved and I am just not seeing it?

Thanks

Hey jeffalmighty,

You’d need to do a search/replace for 1000 in the init.js file located in the js folder and also in the responsive.css file located in the css folder

Cheers

Hi there

Just purchased salient theme, I see that it has a salient-child-theme folder.

I like to use child theme’s over the top, but can I use this folder you have supplied?

and how do I do that?

background info – i just installed the theme and I imported the modern dummy data

cheers Grant

Hey – to use the child theme you can install that in your wp-content/themes directory and then activate it from the appearance > themes section of your admin panel

Hi ThemeNectar !

Your Search Result show blog posts and pages , but I just want show blog posts in Search Result and don’t show pages in result .

How to do that ? Thanks for all .

Hey – open the search.php file and delete this section:

                                <article class="result">
                                    <span class="bottom-line" />
                                    <?php if(has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID )) {    
                                        echo '<a href="'.get_permalink().'">'.get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'full', array('title' => '')).'</a>'; 
                                    } ?>
                                    <h2 class="title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> <span><?php echo __('Blog Post', NECTAR_THEME_NAME); ?></span></h2>
                                </article><!--/search-result-->    

When inserting image galleries in VC, would it be possible to have the image title and caption shown in the lightbox?

My titles and captions are rather large, so showing them in the image gallery grid is not an option, and since I have to show copyright info (I’ve put this in the caption of each image) it would be nice to have the meta in the lightbox.

Hey – the next update will allow the option for a caption in the vc gallery lightbox but as of now it would take some custom development

I see the latest version included “Added caption option into VC gallery portfolio style”. But how do I enable that?

Hey – as long as you have something entered for the description field in your image meta it should display, if it’s not please share your URL in regards so I can take a look :)

Hi there, awesome theme ! But i have a small problem.

http://logsexec.wpengine.com/product/global-e-commerce-logistics-2015/

If you scroll below, the variable pricing is too close to the add to cart button.

How do i:

1) Greate a gap in between so it looks evenly spaced out. 2) Shift the add to cart button to float to the left? so it doesn’t look weird.

This is the default woocommerce settings so i didnt do anything.

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

.woocommerce div.product form.cart .button, .woocommerce-page div.product form.cart .button {
    margin-left: 0!important;
    margin-top: 20px;
}

Hi, before purchasing, just like to check how easy is it to build a directory or listing site onto Salient theme and which plugins do you recommend that will go well with Salient? I’m now trying to get it worked out with WP Job Manager, but have to do quite a bit to customize. What do you suggest? Thank you.

Hey – it would indeed require the use of a plugin such as WP Job Manager, unfortunately I haven’t personally tested with that but if you encounter any issues just let me know :)

Dear ThemeNectar,

is it possible to have multiple images, sliding in the background of a row? It is possible to select images when “full background image” of a row is activated, but i want to select multiple images which rotate.

Is this possible and if yes, how can i achieve it?

Hey asista,

unfortunately this isn’t possible as of yet and would require custom development

Cheers

Hello, any way to add horizontal slider https://db.tt/wybT4GRg when Enable Responsive Design is OFF, browser only shows vertical slider, no horizontal.

Hey – could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look?

Hey – appreciate this theme! It’s great! We’re actually missing some items from the download though and wanted the dummy content for “one page” – The only data we received was for modern creative and clean all purpose

Can we get the updated file or directed as to who to get this please?

Hey!

The current download includes 6 dummy data sets – you probably downloaded an old version a bit ago – if you redownload from here in your downloads section you’ll get them all :)

Cheers
