Hi! I’m using the V 8.5.3 but I can’t understand how to add the arrow button style used on this demo: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-minimal-portfolio/ I check “Call To Action” but nothing. Thanks in advance.
founded! thanks
Hey, glad to hear 
Please help us to setting header image, Title and Subtitle like this examplehttp://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate/category/food-for-thought/ how?
Hey,
You can set a page header for all your blog archive pages in the Salient options panel > blog > styling tab at the “Archive Header Background Image” field. You can also specify individual header images for each separate category when editing your blog categories as well.
Cheers
Its automatically adding a page header with an image from the blog post as a default to my pages
Hey dellene82,
Please share the URL where this is occurring so I can take a look
Cheers
whats happening is when I blog and add a header to the post it uses the page and post meta box. so then the post header automatically goes into the page. then it also breaks the visual composer and makes it use the classic mode on the page plus it changes the permalink to the blog post
Hi, can you please reply to my support request? Thanks
Hey becky20, I just located your ticket and will respond shortly
Hi!
Is it possible to add a black border on the images in the “Image Gallery” in visual composer. I can’t seem to figure out how to add a border around the individual images. Would you be able to help?
thank you!
Hey Andrew1G,
This would require the use of custom css – could you kindly share the URL where the gallery exists so I can verify your current settings in order to assist?
Cheers
I’ve used Salient for three websites and am considering buying another license for a new project. First I would like to know how to add a body border. The theme options doc says it should be under “Styling”, but its not there on my main salient website. How can I turn this on?
Nevermind, I fixed it. Thanks!
Hey, glad to hear
Hi, please advise. When installing Salient Visual Composer it breaks my website and sends it to a HTTP error 500 page. Never had this before, please advise.
Hi, support no longer needed. Hosting issue! Thanks.
Hey neatesha,
Glad to hear you’ve sorted it
Cheers
Hi ! Are you aware of any iOS 11 bug with the menu and the page headers? On www.storytoline.com on an iPhone 7 Plus and iOS 11.2.1: - the submenus are open by default - I can’t scroll the menu ; it scrolls the page behind - I can’t close the menu with the hamburger icon - The header is not displayed on the blog page (https://storytoline.com/blog/)
Thanks in advance for your help!
Also, there’s a “padding-top: 93px;” on ”.container-wrap, .project-title” that I can’t understand except it seems to be useful for the pages with headers. In other terms: it would be nice to deactivate a header
Hey guissem,
1. I just checked on an iPhone 7 & 8 Plus and have not been able to see this occurring. Have you been able to get it to occur on more than one device? Also, can you confirm that you’re using Safari on the device?
2. Please try changing your theme skin from “Ascend” to the “Material” option in the Salient options panel > general settings tab, as that skin handles the top padding better when using the header resize effect that you have active
Cheers
Hi, thanks for your answer. 1. I’m well using Safari on my iPhone 7 plus. I can now scroll the menu (not on Chrome) and close it, but all the submenus remains open, which is not user-friendly. https://photos.app.goo.gl/XTYQn0ASFfRTsvt13 On an iPhone SE, the submenus are closed…
2. I changed to “Material” but still can’t see the blog page header on the iPhone 7 Plus. On iPhone SE, it works well…
Hey, unfortunately I still haven’t been able to replicate when using a 7 plus – browserstack is also not showing it https://imgur.com/a/b6KsK – are you seeing this issues on the demo as well? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog-ultimate/
I can see the page header of the demo, that’s weird… But I can’t test the folded/unfolded menu as there are no submenus on the demo. Thanks for your help!
Hey,
The main demo page as submenus you can test out real quick: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/
Hello again, I totally forgot to ask. I don’t know why (this wasn’t happening before) but my portfolio elements aren’t displaying correctly when viewed on large viewports. I have three columns per row, and when viewed on a large viewport, the columns do not stretch to remain full width like they should. Is there any way to resolve this and keep the rows to three columns of portfolio images?
This is the page with the issue: http://im.dakotabrinkert.com/photography/
Thanks for all of the help!
It’s also creating a blank space between gallery rows when the viewport made small
Hey TheRooster ,
It seems that you have each row as a separate portfolio instance with only three items in each. With this kind of setup you would need to use the “3 columns” layout on each instead of the currently selected “Fullwidth”, which dynamically changes the column number and would not be the appropriate choice for such a small number of items in each (it would work if you used one portfolio to contain all instead). With the 3 column selected, you then just need to change the parent row to the “Full width content” type
Cheers
Thanks for getting back to me!
I tried using the “3 columns” layout on each with the parent row set to full width content, but the images become separated (see http://im.dakotabrinkert.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Screen-Shot-2017-12-31-at-2.03.30-PM.png ). The goal is to have the images displayed without separation, like this: ( http://im.dakotabrinkert.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Screen-Shot-2017-12-31-at-2.04.07-PM.png ) and scale to fit the browser.
I don’t know if it’s due to the update or not, but this wasn’t happening before.
This is how things look on my end as I originally described (not sure how it’s looking for you) I just don’t understand why white space is added to the right when the browser is made larger ( http://im.dakotabrinkert.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Screen-Shot-2017-12-31-at-2.14.49-PM.png )
Sorry for all of the comments, I made a dev page to provide a link to what’s happening when I use three columns and a full width row type: http://im.dakotabrinkert.com/dev-photo/
Hey, in order to remove the padding that’s always set on a 3 column layout seen in http://im.dakotabrinkert.com/dev-photo/ , you could add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
.portfolio-items .col.span_4 {
width: 33.3%!important;
margin: 0!important;
}
}
Cheers
Hello again, thanks for all the help. I added it to the custom css, which helps to some extent, but doesn’t solve the problem. It leaves very small gaps between the images revealing the background color, especially when resized. Also, the images separate when the browser is made smaller.
Would installing an older version of this theme solve the problem? This was never an issue before. Or, is there any custom css I could add to allow me to use the “full width” portfolio layout and Constrain Max Columns to 3 (as opposed to the option to constrain to 4)?
Thanks again
Hey,
I can provide you with any version you need, but there was never (an intentional) three column fullwidth layout available so I’m confused as to what your prior settings were that allowed for that. If you’d prefer to alter the width of the constrain max cols option from 4 to 3, use this css instead:
@media only screen and (min-width: 690px) {
body .portfolio-items.constrain-max-cols.no-masonry .col.elastic-portfolio-item {
width: 33.3%!important;
}
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
body .portfolio-items.constrain-max-cols.no-masonry .col.elastic-portfolio-item {
width: 100%!important;
}
}
Cheers
Thanks! Works well enough. I don’t remember there being a white space added to the right of the rows with three portfolio items, the items just scaled to fit the browser. Nevertheless, this works! Thanks again!
Hey, glad to hear it worked for you
I am getting a gap appear when using the overlay feature on an element it seems to leave a gap of no overlay at the bottom
I noticed some other users have reported the same thing, is there a fix for this?
This seems to only happens when the element in question is the last element on the page before the footer. If the element is moved to anywhere else then the overlay is fine.
So the fix required if for the overlay of elements at the bottom of a page.
Hey MarcGarner, could you kindly share your URL where this occurs so I can take a look at the rest of the setup to try and replicate on my end?
Cheers
Hey, add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
body .wpb_row .row-bg-wrap:after, body .wpb_row .row-bg[data-enable_gradient="true"][data-overlay_strength="image_trans"]:before {
height: 100.1%;
}
Cheers
Perfect fix, thank you so much. Great theme BTW.
Just bought the theme, but get the message at the child theme that the template is misssing, but it is installed. What is the problem here?
Hey PLTCPutten, have you installed the child theme included with Salient and have you renamed any of the folders?
Cheers
Hello ThemeNectar,
First of all, thanks for this beautiful theme! I think it’s a pleasure to work with !
I’m renewing my website and I want to create an column width the same style as the blog element Masonry Blog. (http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog-ultimate/ under the recent post element).
When I’m creating a 4 column row, and choose for an boxed column, there is a border beteen the egdes and the image. And i want to get rid of those! Could me out?
Best regards, Casper Boon
Fixed it. Needed to dig deeper in the codes!
For people who want to archieve this, add this to your CSS:
.col.boxed img, .wpb_column.boxed img {
padding: 0px 0px !important;
}
.col.boxed, .wpb_column.boxed {
padding: 0px 0px 0px !important;
}
Hey, glad you found what you were looking for and thanks for posting it for anyone else who may be interested
Is there any way to add an Instagram feed? I’d prefer to use something styled the same as the theme.
Hey Sharkiiie, as of now there’s no element built into Salient for this but if you encounter any issues using a plugin kindly let me know
Cheers
I have purchased the salient theme multiple times over the years for different websites. Unfortunately when I logged into my envato account this morning to download the latest update, the theme was missing from ‘downloads’. Can you please help?
Hey adamblackburn1988,
Have you tried to contact Envato directly in regards? I’m sure they’ll be able to assist you – unfortunately as an author, I don’t have access to user accounts in any way to assist with something like this https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202821620-Contact-Us

Hi
I’ve been trying to insert the Google translator on to the header of my site for quite a while now and have been searching for a solution but haven’t found what I needed to help me. I know the plugin comes in with the code for the header input which is this:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[google-translator]'); ?>but I can’t seem to find where to plug this code into.
thanks
Hey edwinlascano,
In the header.php file inside of the “span_9” div
Cheers
Hello, I recently discovered that images that used to open in lightbox now just direct to the image link when clicked. This is happening on my image gallery elements as well as portfolio elements that used to open in lightbox when clicked. This wasn’t happening before.
I recently had to remake my site, so I don’t know if it’s the theme version, or if I did something wrong when moving the content from the old site to the new site.
It may be because I may have been using prettyphoto before and the new theme lightbox is magnific. I have auto lightbox image links enabled.

Hey TheRooster,
Can you try changing your page transition method from the currently selected method of “AJAX” to “Standard” in the Salient options panel > page transitions tab to see if it resolves this?
Cheers
Thanks! It worked!
You’re welcome!
Hi, How do I insert a pop up email subcribe in the button (call to action) I use Mailchimp
Hey deladesign,
There’s no modal in Salient to add a form by default as of now, you would need to use as modal plugin for this and add the relevant class on a nectar button
Cheers
Has anyone successfully moved the sidebar to be above the content area on mobile? I have a widget that does filtering and on mobile it would make much more sense to fall before the content area rather than moved below.
Actually figured it out for those who need to do this:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1040px) { #post-area {display:table-footer-group !important; float: none !important;} #sidebar {display:table-header-group !important; float: none !important;} }
If you want it for only one page or post you can use custom classes in the page/post editor to select just that page in CSS.
Hey crossfitfringeadmin, thanks for posting what you’ve found for any others who may be interested

Hello,
We are experiencing slower pace speeds and have implemented all the recommended speed optimization you have suggested through your support site. This includes image optimization, caching, etc. We are currently sitting at a 14 sec page load time which is down from the 30 sec. we were getting prior to these changes. We have disabled plugins one-by-one and tracked it down to the Visual Composer plugin. When we disable this we hit less than 3 sec load times. What can you suggest to fix this? We would like to avoid redesigning the site without VC.
Hey dbrooker, could you please share the actual page URL where this is occurring for you so I can take a look to assist?

Hey, i’m only seeing this occur on your home page which leads me to believe something specific on there is causing it – Could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so we can take a further look into this? https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Hi I am reporting a bug: submenu items don’t appear on mobile phones. I believe there used to be a V arrow next to each menu item before that you would click and expand the submenu but now it doesn’t exist anymore. Please see the picture:
https://imgur.com/a/cGROV https://www.inovestor.amIs there a fix? Thanks!

Hey Francois, could you kindly disable the minifcation/bundling of assets temporarily so I can see if there’s a plugin you may have active that’s causing it? Seems to just be a CSS conflict
Cheers!
Hi! I disabled the minify + bundling on WP Rocket as you requested. Do you see the cause? Thanks a lot.
I disabled all the plugins and found the culprit: Premium Stock Market Widget. Removing them one by one is good to identify issue. Thanks!
Hey, glad to hear! Thanks for letting me know as well
