Where would I make menu burger larger /more prominent, and also how could I add the word Menu above the burger, for an old client. who doesn’t understand three lines mean menu?
Hey,
1. CSS could achieve the menu toggle icon sizing, could you share your URL in regards?
2. You’d need to modify the header.php – it could be done via a child theme as well
Cheers
The “Proceed to Checkout” button on my woocommerce cart page is missing. Does anyone know how to fix that? I have the newest version of woocommerce installed.
Hey RhinoHub, if you also have the latest version of Salient installed, please share your URL in regards so I can take a look
Cheers
Never mind, I figured it out.
Hey, glad to hear 
I searched for whether this theme is compatible with PHP 7 and WP Engine’s compatibility testing plugin reports:

Can you confirm these are in fact incorrect and all should work?
These were actually for the 8.0 version but tested now on a different site and get this:
” 30 | ERROR | preg_replace() – /e modifier is deprecated since PHP 5.5 and removed since PHP 7.0”
for the theme and this for the VC:
” 84 | WARNING | Possible use of ASP style opening tags detected. ASP style opening tags have been removed in PHP 7.0. Found: < = id %>” src=”< = url %>”...”
Ah and the error for VC is:
“222 | ERROR | Visibility for magic method __sleep must be public. Found: private”
Hey, Salient will be updating to the latest VC soon and handling any remaining PHP 7 warnings/incompatibilities – if you want to send an email via the contact form on my author page I can provide early access
Cheers
Thanks. Have sent an email.
Thanks
Any news when that’ll happen?
Hello, i have activated “Automatic Post Excerpts” but the read more option is now showing !! what shall i do ?
Hey majdkh,
Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look to assist
so ??
Hey, sorry for missing your last reply – the read more button is only shown when entering an excerpt manually with the excerpt field for the classic masonry style. The only post style with shows a read more by default at all times in the minimal standard http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-business/articles/
Cheers
Please can you tell me whether you can add a meta slider (with pictures that you click on that take you through to an affiliate site to buy) to the homepage of the metro blog theme? I would like to buy this theme but I need to be able to add galleries that have affiliate links especially one on the homepage. Thank you
Please could you also tell me where I can see the captions for the galleries as this is a really important aspect of the magazine – I need to be able to show the captions really clearly?
And is there a subscription box that you can add?
Hey brayf1,
1. If you used a Nectar Slider, you could link each slide to whatever URL you define either via a button in the slider or by making the entire slide clickable
2. http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-photography http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/image-grid/3. Salient provides styling for forms, the choice of subscription plugin you’d use would be up to you
Cheers
But the nectar slider is the width of the screen – is there a thumbnail meta slider that allows me to link to other sites that I can put on the homepage? For small product shots – individual things to buy not big videos as in the nectar slider demo.
Thank you for your help
Hey, you could use the VC gallery element for this: themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/image-grid
Noticing an issue with the mobile menu when you are using a top level nav item of a page with sub menu items under it. It works as expect on desktop and allows you to click to the top level page and then when you hover over it you can see the sub menu but on mobile you only have the option to click on the top level nav item which doesn’t take you to the top level page but instead slides you over to the sub menu. Is there anyway in the theme to fix this?
Hey, the fixed mobile menu doesn’t allow for this – if you’d like the alternative mobile menu with support for that, in the Salient options panel > header navigation tab disable the option for the sticky mobile header
Cheers
On my Huawei MediaPad M3 Tablet (Android 6 and EMUI 4.1 – 2560×1440 px) there is no different between portrait and landscape mode – It’s displayed only a single row 
IPAD or IPHONE works fine. Do you have a quick solution for me?
Hey, what’s the pixel density on your device? If the actual display viewport resolution is under 1000px than the mobile media queries will be triggered
Hi,
2560×1600 px and 359ppi – this density triggered in landscape and portrait mode the mobile resolution. No difference in Desktop Mode in Firefox or Chrome on my device. IPad, IPhone and Amazon Fire with Android works best.
Any idea?
Can you visit this on your device and let me know what the viewport reported is? https://www.mydevice.io/
... only 896×576px (56em x 37em) in Firefox and 980px in Chrome – what can I do? The device shows max. resolution / are these technical restrictions? Thx for help
Hello,
So i am currently using the centered menu which allows me to have a specific menu which is pulled to the right “Top Navigation Menu Pull Right”. (right next to the off canvas menu). However i am trying to enable this menu to appear on my mobile menu and i am unable to. I have tried manually adding this menu to the header.php after the mobile menu container div but no success. How do i make this “Top Navigation Menu Pull Right” appear on the mobile? Thanks a million
Hey,
As of now this wouldn’t be possible without some custom development – could you please share your URL so I can see what you have so far?
Cheers
There should be a simple php snippet to add in header.php. If it helps, this is just the WPML language switcher. website is www.odyo.ca
Hello, What a beautiful theme you guys have created! I am wondering if, when using the demo content, I could still use the images from the demo (in terms of copyright). Best regards,
Thanks stijnjasper!
it depends on which images – some are sourced from unsplash which you could and others (which wouldn’t be imported) you would need a licsense for
Cheers
Hi, I have a minor issue with the blog headers. I didn’t want the author’s name displayed on a single post. Had put this on CSS – .single .meta-author { display: none!important; }
While it has removed the author name there’s an additional pipe ( | ) symbol before the date which I want to get rid of. Help please?
Hey,
Can you share your URL in regards so I can see what your current settings are to assist?
Cheers
Hey, add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.single #single-below-header >span.meta-date {
border-left: 0!important;
}
Thanks a ton
You’re welcome
Hi Nectar, amazing theme!
Here’s my question: How can I put the same hover underline effect of the header menu on the “page submenu”?
Thanks brunoformagio!
As of now this would require some custom modding – but more menu styling options are on the way
Cheers

Hi,
I have a doubt, Is there any way to loop the Carousel (Owl Carousel)? I have 5 items and 3 items are showing in the first. I have selected autorotate, so it moves to the 5 items and its stopped. Is it possible to loop infinitely?
Can you please help me on this request?

Hi, The theme appears to have a few margin issues in WooCommerce Shop pages. If I choose the ‘no sidebar layout some of the items are touching eachother. If I select full width the whole page is to the left and some of it is off-screen. Could you please look into this for me? Thanks
http://scfurnitureltd.co.uk/product-category/bedroom/bedside-cabinets/Hey brindleyparts, I’ve checked your URL on all viewport sizes and can’t see the issue you’re mentioning – could you let me know what browser you’re using?
I am using Safari (latest version) on a 2016 Macbook 12-inch Retina. It appears only on some of the product rows
Think for the next updates include a site building page.
This makes our work easier while building the site.
Hey ofmarconi, i’ve noted your +1 for the idea

I am really sorry to bother you again. 4 questions regarding the previous subject matters:
1- I want to change the active tab color (currently it’s white) without making global changes like changing the accent color on settings.Tried below css but doesnt work: html body .tabbed ul li a.active-tab { border-color: #27CFC3!important; }
2- Also want to change the font types/sizes of all tabs without making global changes.
3- How can i change the style of the line under the tab titles? For example, I want that horizontal line to be longer, and want to style the and width of it.
4- In the future, I may have another page with a similar tabbed content style. When I want to style it like the above but with different colors or fonts, how will I make those changes? pasting the css codes on CSS settings section that we see on classic mode on each ‘page builder’ page?
Thank you.
Hey travelrefinery,
1. Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look at why that would be
2/3. Kindly also share the URL so I can assist
4. Yes, you’d just need to use the snippet on each page and change accordingly
Cheers
In addition to the previous problems, the background photo on left column doesnt look right. I know that it’s there because the photo appears as a thin line instead of its full size within the column. You will see it on the page. also cannot fix the top and bottom padding of the blue column. I edit this on inner row settings but does not work. I tried it on an independent row down at the bottom of the page (to see if it’s because of the tabbed content feature), it worked there.
Hey, add this css into the custom css box in the page:
html .tabbed[data-style*="minimal"] >ul li a:after {
background-color: red!important;
}
.tabbed[data-style="minimal"] >ul li:not(.cta-button) a, .tabbed[data-style="minimal"] >ul li:not(.cta-button) a.active-tab, .tabbed[data-style="minimal_alt"] >ul li:not(.cta-button) a, .tabbed[data-style="minimal_alt"] >ul li:not(.cta-button) a.active-tab {
font-size: 18px;
}
2. You’d need to either use a divider element in the column to give it some spacing or use an actual single image element
Hi! Does your theme come with PSDs?
Hey,
there’s no PSDs included
Cheers
Most likely there will be an update from the authors for compatibility with wp 4.7.4 I will wait for the update and I’ll buy it. It’s probably one of the most appealing theme. Visitors will remember your website for sure and that’s a great marketing tool.
I remember every website I visited that looked different from majority and even if my friends were not interested in their products or services, I still recommended to visit these websites just for the looks. 
By the way…
Is it possible to achieve this kind of parallax effect with your theme?
https://www.netflix.com/title/80117470?trkid=13710079&MSG_TITLE=80117470&lnktrk=EMP&g=0750219623302509E7D65AEAFCE5BE5264529FF6&lkid=TITLE1_PVR_TV_MDP_2Hey!
1. Salient doesn’t currently have any known issues with 4.7.4, but if any get confirmed they will be address
2. I’m not seeing any parallax on that specific URL, can you check to make sure it’s leading to the correct location?
Cheers
Nectar,
I updated to WordPress 4.7.4 this morning, which was a big mistake! The update reverts back to several theme default settings and doesn’t allow the end user to save theme changes. For example, once the 4.7.4 update is applied, the default Salient footer with 4 sections is turned on and you can’t turn it off. If you have any transparency settings applied to the header, they are turned off and any changes to turn them back on, don’t get saved, even after making changes and saving them.
Not sure if these issues are WordPress related or specific to Salient, once the update is applied? But I’m currently restoring my site from the most recent back up and caution anyone wanting to update their site to 4.7.4.!
Bobby
Hey Bobby,
Through testing with 4.7.4, no issues like this have come up – could you please reach out with your admin credentials via the contact form on my author page so I can see what’s going on with your setup? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Hey guys how is this theme on safari / ipad? One of my clients is saying the header is taking up the whole screen..which is weird…could it be his iPad settings? I know safari sucks…just wondering…any thoughts?
Hey agent8, there’s no known issue like that – if you can share the URL i’d be glad to take a look
Cheers
