help! the website got hacked! i will reset everything but i’d like to save my salient options…are they stored somewhere? in particular i’m concerned about the css…
Hey Manuelbustamante, have you modified the theme files at all? If you just need to export your Salient options you can do so in the Salient options panel > Import/Export tab
thanks for the quick reply! the problem is that i cannot login. the website is totally screwed…but i can access manually to ftp and database. so i was wondering if the options/css are stored somewhere. if i manage to recover the website i’m afraid i might loose all the css i added
Hey Manuelbustamante,
They’re stored in the options table – if you run a search for “salient_redux” you’ll find the option name

Hey, if you’re trying to remove them from the masonry display in the classic enhanced style you can’t without modding through a child theme as of now – the files in includes/post-templates would need to be altered
I still cannot get my google key working! Please see: https://postimg.org/image/qqwa8h2l9/ and also the error I am getting in the console is: https://postimg.org/image/amf3riwv3/—> I have been trying many ways but still doesn’t work !
P.s. the site is www.wanwumedia.com/contact-wanwu
Hey pwanwu,
On the URL http://www.wanwumedia.com/contact-wanwu/ the map is currently showing on my end – what browser are you able to see this on?
Cheers
Hi. There is an issue with hidden columns. Columns that are supposed to be hidden for desktop, appear on screen size 1200-1300px.
Hey amund_se, add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
@media (max-width: 1299px) and (min-width: 1000px) {
.vc_hidden-md {
display: none !important;
}
}
I’m using the child theme and there are a few things that i would like to edit.
For example, i copied shortcode-processing.php salient-child/nectar/tinymce but the theme still uses the one in parent theme. How do i overwrite files from the child theme?
Hey inje,
In your child theme functions.php you’d need to also add this function with the location to your child theme shortcode-processing file:
function nectar_shortcode_processing(){
require_once ( 'child-theme-path-to-shortcode-processing.php' );
}
Cheers

Hi There,
I’m wondering what shortcode you used to create the “Let’s Talk” small circle /arrow button on this page?
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-minimal-portfolio/Thanks!
Hey tmanschap! That’s the new “Call to action” element that was added in 8.0 
Hi there,
Firstly, do you know how can I remove the word “Categorie” at the top of my category page (like this : https://www.guide-veron-champagne.fr/champagnes-guide-veron-2018) ?
Then, do you know if I can do a dropdown menu such as this one : http://www.cyrillignac.com; Look in “restaurant”.
Thank you !
Hey michel-veron!
1. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.archive.category .row .col.section-title span { display: none!important; }
2. That wouldn’t be possible without custom development at this time
Cheers
Hi, great theme!! I have a problem: how can I disable the author’s name of the posts? this is an example: http://www.amunochi.cl/noticias/noticia1/ thanks!!
Thanks tingundan!
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
body #page-header-bg.fullscreen-header .author-section .avatar-post-info {
display: none;
}
Cheers
Thanks, but it also disappears the date, how can I do it without take off the date?
Hey, sorry about that – change the snippet to this 
body #page-header-bg.fullscreen-header .author-section .avatar-post-info .fn {
display: none;
}
Thanks, that work fine 
Cheers 
Hello … i use Masonry Blog Fullwidth with Classic Enhanced Style. How can i get rid of the Date shown above the Post Header? There is no CSS-Class Identified as i can see in chrome developer tools.
Hey karamurad,
You can’t without modding through a child theme as of now – the files in includes/post-templates would need to be altered
Cheers
okay .. which files do i need to change in includes/post-templates? All files or only the entry.php? and which line?
thanks
if($using_masonry == true && $masonry_type == 'classic_enhanced') {
echo get_the_date();
$h_num = '3';
}
just remove:
echo get_the_date();
It would need to be done in any templates that you’re using in your blog
For some reason the Typography Section is not working at all in SALIENT 8. I made changes but menu and any text are not affected at all.
Hey wahili, please open a ticket or reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Hey! I wondered if this theme offers solutions for responsive images, at the GTmetrix test I score an F on serve scaled images and they recommend picturefill. Would you recommend that or have you got another suggestion? Thanks in advance!
Hey joerigosens,
Where have you seen that score? https://gtmetrix.com/reports/themenectar.com/XyIoCgSs 8/0 added in support for adaptive images – could you share your URL?
Cheers
Hey there,
Thanks a lot for your help! Though how can we configure a fullwidth/full-height video background in a video lightbox? Though we want the logo and the menu to be transparent and floating on top of the video… Is that possible?
Thanks a lot for your cooperation!
*I mean the nav-bar with a transparent background floating on top of the video.
Hey NFOUK-302,
Please see my response to your previous to comment in regards
Cheers
Hi Theme Nectar, I have couple of pre-purchase questions: 1. It looks from this documentation page that Salient offers a secondary menu bar shortcode (the blue one). Is this correct? http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/theme-options/header-navigation/ 2. On desktop, is it possible to display normal menu items plus a hamburger icon for additional menu items off canvas, simultaneously? (In your documentation below there is a picture of a header layout display menu items plus a hamburger.) Thanks for the advice
Hey jaroljmek,
1. Yes, that’s correct – another example of that can be seen in this demo: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate/about/
2. Yes, you can see an example here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend
Cheers
Hey there. Can you please tell me the ideal dimensions for Full Width Backroumd and Full Width Content? I can not figure out the proper ratio as my images gets stretched vertically or squished horizontally. Thank you.
Hey arteest,
There is no one exact dimension that’s suitable for all, it really just depends on what your row settings on and how much content you have in them. Could you please share your URL in regards?
Cheers
Hey there. No page set up yet but I would like to mimic the “Overlapping Testimonial Template” setup. It is a simple Full Width Background setup…
How do I do that while keeping my background image crisp?
If you’re using the “Overlapping testimonial section” template, a BG image of 1700×650 would be suitable
I have a two problem: 1. logo href, when I activate the Header Permanent Transparent, link to homepage in to logo is disable 2. only in homepage in to canvas navigation, behance social icon is disappeared
Hey KO20, if you’re using the latest version of Salient could you please share your URL so I can take a look at these for you?
Cheers
Awesome update with Salient 8.0 – seriously great stuff.
One issue, I would like to change the off-canvas menu icon (the hamburger) to be smaller in size. How do I do this?
Thanks!
Thanks aderynnn!
Could you share your URL in regards so I can see your current settings?
Cheers
The URL is http://shermaine.flyghte.com
I simply find the icon to be too noticeable in design and would like it to be slightly smaller.
Hey, add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
body .slide-out-widget-area-toggle {
transform: scale(0.6);
}
Awesome, worked perfectly. Thanks so much!
Also want to report a small bug. When using the full-screen rows functionality the first row displays weird on mobile when you have a transparent header. That is, the first row starts at the end of the header.
So when you first load the page, the header is transparent on a black background, and then the first row background scrolls through it. Ideally the first row background starts underneath the header so when it’s transparent there isn’t a weird effect.
Cheers!
You’re welcome 
Could you allow me to bypass the under construction page so I can check on this new issue on a mobile device?
Sure, visit: http://shermaine.flyghte.com/welcome
Thanks! What mobile device are you seeing this occur on? So far I haven’t been able to replicate it
Apple iPhone 6 using Safari mobile app.
Here is a screenshot of me scrolling, you will notice the top edge of the page header background image scrolling up into the navigation. http://imgur.com/a/SgOss
You can navigate to this page URL here: https://shermaine.flyghte.com/work/living-octave/
Another thing: for the ‘social buttons’ element in the visual composer, it would be nice to have Instagram as an option.
Hey,
1. try adding this into the custom css box:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 1px) {
#header-space[data-header-mobile-fixed="1"] {
display: none!important;
}
}
2. Thanks for the request 
Thanks, that works but it then puts the equivalent gap from the top down to the bottom – therefore the mobile page header doesn’t completely cover full screen on opening. All good, just a minor issue. Won’t lose sleep over it. 
Great theme. Keep up the awesome work!
No problem! I’ve noted this as well for the wishlist
Hello,
On mobile, is it possible to move the search icon outside of the menu and to the header? Example: http://i.imgur.com/JjPHv7c.png
Thanks.
Hey schuttjon,
As of now not without custom modding – but i’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist 
Cheers
Hi!
Are the 150+ templates from the Salient Studio from the VC new library templates or are these templates ThemeNectar’s custom templates?
Thanks
Hey nmig, every single one is exclusive to Salient 
Cheers!
How do I remove related videos from the Youtube Lightbox? Nobody wants related videos shown. This should be default setting on your theme. I’ve already wasted an hour trying to figure out how to remove something that shouldn’t even be there.
Hey AECustomizer,
Assuming you’re using Magnific for your lightbox script (which is set in your theme options panel > general settings > functionality tab), that plugin honors the default embed options Youtube sets for videos. As you can see in the Youtube embed API the related videos are shown by default
"This parameter indicates whether the player should show related videos when playback of the initial video ends. Supported values are 0 and 1. The default value is 1."Therefore Salient does not modify magnific to force a non default option with Youtube embedding. If you want to remove them, you’d need to modify the magnific script in the js folder at this line:
//www.youtube.com/embed/%id%?autoplay=1&der
Cheers
Thank you. That worked. Had to clear the cache a few times both on the site and the browser. My apologies for the frustration. Everybody hates related videos on their site. We don’t like traffic leaks.
Anyway, thank you again for the support.
You’re welcome 
Cheers
