Hey,
I have a question before I buy: if I create a custom post type, how will they be displayed? Does the theme automatically apply an appropriate template for the display?
I am looking to have simple square images for each post with some meta under it and the navigation can be bullet points. But I am not looking to have the old school archive look for WordPress.
Cheers, Jamal
Hey Jamal,
CPTs by default will inherit from the blog archive, so it will mimic the look you assign to your blog. However, if you CPT is using custom data fields, modding would need to be done to pull from those fields and display them instead of the default blog meta attrs like date, author, category etc

Is it possible to use Grid Builder https://wpbakery.com/video-academy/grid-builder-item-templates/ (or something just like this) for building own style of blog posts?
Hey Cossi,
As of now that wouldn’t be possible without using the raw version of VC, however i’ve noted your +1 for the idea
Cheers
Hi there, I encountered some problems with the theme while trying to customize it. Can you help me?
First, is there like a record of revision so I can reset it back to where I left off. Because I did change some settings and they didn’t turn out how I wanted to but I have no idea how to set it back to before I change it.
Second, I couldn’t use the “featured image” function at the homepage. Can you show me how?
Hey jwsth143,
1. Salient allows the default use of page revisions when building your pages, are you referring to something else?
2. Setting a featured image on a standard page wouldn’t do anything, if you’re trying to add a page header please see the “Page header” metabox in regards. http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-metaboxes/

In the portfolio, when sortable is turned on, is it supposed to start with a full dropdown display on page load? If so, is there a way to force it to be closed instead? Looks a bit weird to start off with the option dropped down.
Thank you.
Hey arteest,
Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look? When using the dropdown option, it should start closed: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/portfolio-3-columns/
Thanks
Hi Salient team, is this theme still being actively updated? I see the last update was November of last year. Will you be updating the built-in plugins to the latest versions? Are there any new widgets planned for the Salient Studio editor? It seems like the updates have slowed down for this theme, which is disappointing since I use it for a lot of my projects. Hope to hear from you soon, thanks!
Hey sirchadlington,
Yes Salient is still actively updated, we’ve been hard on at work on the latest update.
Updates have not slowed down, historically feature based releases always have had months inbetween them as we don’t rush features.
The next release will bring VC to the current, as well as add new studio templates. Feel free to reach out to get on the beta list 
Cheers
Great, thanks! I would love to join your beta list. Will contact you to join.
Sounds good sirchadlington
Hi,
I have multiple photo galleries in a carousel element (each item is a gallery) though sometimes you can’t click on the image to open prettyphoto and the cursor will instead change to the “grabbing hand” to rotate the carousel. Is there an way to fix this?
Thank you.
Hey cwayneboss,
can you please let me know what carousel script you’re trying to use?
Cheers
Sure, we’re using the Owl Carousel with 1 column on everything.
The image gallery is Image Grid Style with 4 columns and meta on hover + entire thumb link.
Thanks.
Hey, owl carousel only allows click events on links when not dragging (i.e. not moving the mouse between pressing down and releasing). When testing on my end i’m finding that to work properly – can you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look and test?
Hi there where can I put WP Amazociate widget for amazon affiliates so it can appear on my site? I’ve tried in all widget areas but still doesn’t appear. www.hydratemates.com
Hey mshout, 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

Hey guys,
First of all, amazing theme, everything has been a breeze to set up and the templates you’ve provided in the page builder are SO convenient you have no idea. Or you do, either way, thank you for creating this. I’ll be buying a second license soon, too!
Now of course there’s always a “but”, but in my case it’s the tiniest thing you can imagine:
You know how the dark/light versions of the logo change depending on the background when the header is transparent? From the settings, it appears you meant to do the same for the menu text, but this isn’t working for me for some reason. When you scroll to the top, even if the logo switches to the white-version, the text stays to the “Header Starting Text Color” one, and the underlining is not in the Accent Colour, but in the same colour as the menu. Is there an easy fix for this?
Thanks again for your amazing work Loran
Hey Loran! The header starting text color is actually what gets called when the transparent header is active, it’s a way to customize it from being the default white to another value. Try to unset the color you have in there to get the default coloring for your transparent menu
in the previous and next links for portfolio items, where can I remove the word “project” from them and have it just say “previous” and “next”
Hey nancy1of1,
You’d need to use .po file to remove part of the string, or you could modify the project_single_controls function in the functions.php file
Cheers
Hey There, We recently noticed that one of our SEO plugins (SmartCrawl by WPMU DEV) is having an issue with Salient. Both your theme and that plugin are pretty popular so seems they should work well together.
BThe basic issue is that while editing the “Home” page on our site… the values entered into the SmartCrawl settings aren’t saved. This only occurs on the homepage of the site. If we disable all plugins, the issue still occurs however if we disable salient, the issue is resolved.
We reached out to their support and they looked into it however they wanted us to reach out to your support for a possible fix? Any ideas?
Hey sermonboxmedia, could you please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar or through a ticket in the support forum https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Cheers
Hey there, Is there any way i can add 2-3 images in the page header? Just like nectar slider?
Hey haroonahmad,
Unfortunately not as of now, is there a reason you don’t want to use the slider for this case?
Cheers

Having an issue that on my clients website where using the Bio Fullscreen only shows up to 3 social media links vs. up to 4. Is there any way to get the additional link to work? Using the links for his and her facebook profiles and email accounts. Here is the link to the page that is having issues: http://cooleychurch.org/about-us/#our-pastor
Hey newgenesisweb,
Please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page so I can get you a copy of the beta which should fix this: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Hello I want to know how I can add to the footer the “mixcloud” and “snapchat” icon, can you help me? thank you very much
Hey Dooply,
I’ve noted to add those in the next release

Hi,
After updating to the latest salient theme we noticed anyone making edits via firefox can’t update any content. I tried 4 different versions of Firefox and none of them allow you to save a content change – however other browsers such as Chrome do. Is this something the developers are aware of? Many of our content managers have requested help since the latest update.
Also, we have tested this update on other sites to narrow the issue down but all seem not to be working with the past latest versions of Firefox. Thanks!
P.S. I also updated WordPress and using the latest version of the salient visual composer as suggested in a previous comment – still no luck.
Update: Fixed! I removed the visual editor via backend and installed the same version (but new?) again and worked. Just need to be careful with a site with hundreds/thousands of active users!
Hey tritontester! I’m glad to hear you got it sorted now
Something may have just been cached after your update to the Salient VC.

Hello, I’m trying to override nectar_options_img in my Child Theme functions.php but it does not seem to work: Adding add_action( ‘init’, ‘nectar_options_img’); in functions.php of the child, crashes the site. Thank you!
Hey!
Unfortunately in the current version that specific function is not child theme ready – i’ve noted to make it compatible in the next release. If you’d like a beta copy with that added in early just shoot me an email in regards
Nice, looking forward to this. Love Salient as a theme too
Glad to hear
Hi ThemeNectar, is possible use my license for more sites or is valid just for once?
Hey c4b, Envato limits the use of the theme once per domain
Cheers
Is there a good example how a language selector is integrated into a Salient menu bar design? The Salient design is so nice but I haven’t found a good way to integrate the language selector. I am not looking for technical advice just some good design example of folks who use Salient on a multilingual website.
Hey wolfgang2016,
Unfortunately we don’t have a demo for this – what plugin are you using for your multi language setup?
Cheers

Hi i updated the new New theme version and updated the wordpress version too. but after the updation my entire design was change so i switch back my old version. what is the issue. how to update it. in this version list (
Hey rkatta,
Could you please do the update again or provide a staging URL so the issue can be seen? Also, after you updated did you verify it wasn’t related to this: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/#troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
Please check this page: https://www.petcheckers.co.uk/dogs/
There’s an overlay over the text when viewed on mobile for some reason and I can get rid of it.
Can you help?
Thanks
Hey 0754ben84, autooptimize seems to have caused it – to correct it easily, just add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
.nectar-recent-posts-single_featured.multiple_featured .recent-post-container {
z-index: 10!important;
}
Cheers
