Hi there, I have the theme and love it however I do have an issue with the BACKGROUND videos not at all appearing on Mobile devices. Is this normal?? How can this be fixed? Thanks so much, Ashley
Hey kaagency,
Autoplaying video BGs are replaced with the supplied preview image instead as shown on the demos. Have you added a preview image for your BG?
Cheers
One of our biggest clients asked for an audit on the website we developed for them to know if it was secure. After running the tests, a lot of security concerns were found. We managed to solve most of them but there are a few remaining. The security company that ran the audit asked us to get in touch with the theme creators to ask for more details about the errors.
So, because of security concerns, we cannot use inline javascript on the web pages as it might be a risk if someone can use that script to attack the website. We detected inline javascript in multiple locations on the website and we want to know if is it possible to move that inline javascript to a file or maybe removing it if it doesn’t affect the features of the theme that we are using.
Please, take a look at the website here: https://campus.jeronimomartins.pt/ambassador, open the Chrome Console and take a look at the errors identified as [Report Only], then click on the line where the code is appearing and evaluate if we can remove that code or if there’s any other alternative so the code stops being used inline.
Thanks in advance, Spark Agency
Hey Spark Agency! A concern of this depth is more appropriate for the support forum than the general comments however I’ll respond to you here to answer your questions quickly
1. line 44: The widow._wpemojiSettings script is part of the WordPress core and has been since 4.2 – this is included by default on every WP installation regardless of the theme.
2. line 81: The script starting with cnArgs “cnArgs” appears to be coming form a plugin you have installed, not Salient
3. line 137: This is the google analytics script you’ve included (populated from the theme options). Including it internally rather than externally is the reccomended way to include it from Google and poses no secruiy risks
4. Line 677: Appears to be a script you guys wrote and added into the page through the Visual Composer raw code block – it’s not included by Salient directly
5. Line 765: This is a Salient script and it used for a couple things throughout the theme. Written in a similar manner to the plugin in #2, it’s a technique to pass data to js created from a core WP function wp_localize_script. The values within them all get sanitized when called so there’s no known security risks
HI there i would love to display the project categories into the portfolio item, may i know how to make it? Thanks!
Hey,
As of now this would require a little custom development but i’ve noted your +1 for the idea
Cheers
Hi there,
I looked everywhere on your website. But where can i remove the date from the blog masonry, and single post.
A lot of CSS i tried. But nothing works.
This is an example what i found. Nothing works!
article.post .post-meta { display: none !important; }
.post-content { padding-left: 0px !important; }
And also how to remove “leave a reply”
Hopefully you can make this a simple option in the menu, on/off
So hopefully you can tell me how to remove both.
Hey Metelen,
Please share your URL in regards so I can see why those snippets haven’t worked for you
Cheers
In the homepage en blog page, still i can see the date 
Hey use this:
.blog-recent .article-content-wrap span.meta {
display: none;
}
how do make custom excerpts for my blog excerpts? I know that I need to add the read-more tag, but where? Thanks
Hey silverlithomes, you don’t need to use a read more tag – in each post you can enable the excerpt field in the screen options tab: https://storage.googleapis.com/role-editor/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/show-excerpt-field-manually.png

I am using Formidable Pro Forms in my website and would like to use their form styling. The salient form styling does not work nicely with the Formidable forms styling. How can I turn off all salient form styling? I’ve already looked at the salient theme settings and have turned off the switch in the form style settings, but the theme still seems to mess up the forms… Thx for your help!
Hey tobeyonekenobi,
Could you please share the URL in regards so I can take a look?
Cheers
here: https://dogrose.ch/dog/Trick/?dogID=891&dogName=Trick and here: https://dogrose.ch/form-test/ – the spaces at the bottom for example are weird…
Hi there, I have a problem with the Toggle-module. I’ve checked the “Allow collapsible all” but it still opens the first panel by default. How can I have a toggle with all panels closed as default?
Hey porilainenmunalla, by selecting that option it creates an accordion where only one toggle can be open at a time, with the first open by default. If you uncheck that option none will be open by default
Cheers. Solution was all too simple 
Cheers!
Hi, receiving this error when attempting to update from 8.0.16 to 8.1.0
An error occurred while updating Salient: Could not copy file. salient/nectar/redux-framework/extensions/wbc_importer/demo-data/Ecommerce/content.xml
Can I manually get around this without causing any damage? Thank you!
Hey tjmoas! Did this occur when using the Envato Market plugin? And besides that one file, did the update go through?
Hi, yes it did. I have tested the API connection in the plugin and no problem. The update did not go through.
Hey, it sounds like it could be a permissions issue – have you checked on your server to verify your WP install has adequate permissions to move/delete files?
I haven’t changed anything but will check this directory and/or try disabling plugins to troubleshoot….
Hey 
is it possible to have the “next project” and “previous project” in the the bottom control section for portfolio only say “next” and “previous”?
Hey aglet, this would require modding to the project_single_controls function in the functions.php file
Cheers
Hey there, is there any way to do the following:
[1] Have the Call to Action arrow point “back” or to the left instead of the right? [2] Style any form submit button (especially for Gravity forms) to have the same look as the Call to Action (have the arrow to the right, and have it animate on rollover)?
Thanks!
Hey aglet,
1. Are you referring to the nectar CTA element http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/simple-cta/ ? If so, this wouldn’t be possible without custom development at this time
2. You can give your submit buttons general nectar button styling in the theme options panel > form styling tab, but inserting an arrow into them wouldn’t be possible unless you could write the html for the submit button yourself
Hi there.
Displaying featured WooCommerce products using the Visual Composer is not working. I believe this is the cause, because updating the code in nectar-vc-addons/vc_templates/nectar_woo_products.php worked for me:
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/266252Hey Soriko, this is fixed in the current beta. If you reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page I can provide that for you now
Cheers
Hey teamnectar. I would like to change the way custom post types are shown on a single page. F.ex. remove the whole top bar with the big post title and the meta information. Can you please tell me where I can find this code and what part I have to customize? thx T
Hey tobeyonekenobi,
The page header function is located in the functions.php file, but if you’re just trying to hide it you could do so with css. If you can share your URL in regards i’d be glad to assist
Cheers
Here’s the URL: https://dogrose.ch/dog/Trick/, I would like to remove the header and the footer. I’ve tried to edit the sinlge.php, but it got messy a CSS solution would be great, if you can explain to me quickly how it’s done that would be amazing, thx!
Hey, use this in the custom css box:
.single-dog .heading-title, .single-dog .blog_next_prev_buttons { display: none!important; }
Great! Thank you very much! How would I hide the footer and copyright area for this page – and even the main menu?
You’re welcome
.single-dog #footer-outer, .single-dog #header-outer, .single-dog #header-space { display: none!important; }
great stuff, thank you! So I don’t have to bother you with similar stuff again: is there a list of these css names and elements that can be hidden for the salient theme or how can I figure out the names? I was trying footer, etc but footer-outer I didn’t see anywhere. Thanks!
Hey, you would need to use the inspector tool in your browser to see the names of various elements
Okay thanks I will try that next time!
Cheers
Is it possible to style the 404 page?
Hey ppsadmin, as of now this would require either custom css or the use of a plugin to assign a custom page as the 404 page such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/404page/
Cheers
Hi …. love the theme!! huge fan
Was just looking to see if photoswipe, from the same creator of Magnific was being discussed. I see there are a few mentions, I think it would be a great addition to sit with Magnific, enabling a swipeable lightbox for galleries (esp for mobiles etc.) photoswipe.com
Hey, that’s awesome to hear!
It’s still an item on the wishlist – i’ve noted your +1 for the idea as well
Cheers
Excellent and many thanks for the quick reply
Is there somewhere to make future suggestions for the wishlist, other than the comments?
Things like … adding tags in addition to categories selection to the Blog module in VC … and Tiled Mosaic Gallery style from Jetpack e.g. https://wordpress.org/plugins/tiled-gallery-carousel-without-jetpack/
Hey, you can request them here, on the support forum or in an email (via the contact form on my author page)
Cheers!
Cool … thats great It would be great to add the tag and gallery suggests to the wishlist too 
Thanks again!
Will do
It seems that the theme uses some sort of lazy load on images, is it possible to turn that off?
Hey,
What elements are you referring to? There is no lazy load by default, however there are animation effects assigned to various images in the demos (which can be turned off)
Cheers
Hello, is it possible to use visual composer elements only in portfolio, ie with portfolio headers etc so can publish portfolio like normal salient page?
Hey,
By default there is no way to remove the portfolio page header in a project item without custom css – if you’d like to do that kindly share your URL in regards
Cheers
Recently our website has been rending terribly on desktop/laptop – it is still ok on mobile – any ideas what the matter is? Thanks
Hey joshfiddy, can you please share the URL in regards so I can take a look?
Cheers
I am having problems with SEARCH function, when I delete salient search.php file – everything works, but when I put it back it doesn’t work!!
Also – it was working yesterday ( ?! ). And since yesterday, there were no changes on the website, it just stopped working.
I had this problem allready, and I updated the theme, so it got fixed for around a day, and than came back….
Help?!
Hey mrlucas87, I’m currently seeing your search results displaying normally – can you provide a screenshot of what you’re seeing on your end and let me know what browser you’re using?
Hi, wow, yes it’s working for me now too. I am unable to locate what was the cause for this behavior, if I experience the problem again I will write you. Thank’s
Glad to hear
Hi there
Looking for a new theme and found yours. It looks great.
One question: When clicking a link either in the navigation or the content with holding cmd on my MacBook to open it in a new tab, it opens in the same window. Can that be changed?
Thanks gurtenberg
It can be by turning off the option to use animated page transitions
Cheers
Hey there,
I just updated to 8.1 and the owl carousel will still not auto-rotate. Is there a debug for this?
Thanks in advance
Hey,
That fix will still be in the next feature based release – 8.1.0 was only released prior to the main release due to an Envato API conflict which prevented some users form getting 8.0.2
Cheers
