I uploaded some thumbnails for my portfolio pieces. Some images are 2×1 and 1×2 aspect ratio so that they can look good in “masonry style” (wide and tall images). The problem is that when I use a portfolio slider on other pages the text get’s cut off and looks terrible. Can you help me fix this please? See this page for an example of how it looks bad (at the bottom): http://www.themarketinggarage.ca/toronto-digital-marketing-agency/
Hey MG-Skylar,
When you upload a custom thumbnail instead of using a featured image Salient doesn’t crop the image at all. If you’d like to use the Salient masonry sizing which you’ve found in the docs you must remove the custom thumbnails and instead use the regular featured image upload and then the masonry sizes will be cut automatically when needed, but it won’t effect other areas like the recent project slider
Cheers
Dear Salient Team,
First of all I want to say that your theme is awesome and I really enjoyed it while I had to develop one website. Now I want to buy another license and use your theme for another website I need to create so I have one question before that.
I am working on a website about a foundation and the main CTA would be collecting donations. I know you have a shop already implemented, but would it be possible to create a page for donations only, where users simply donate as much as they want?
Thank you so much, Anamaria
Thanks Anamaria, that’s great to hear 
Unfortunately there’s no core functionality to allow donations – it would require the use of a plugin.
Cheers
I am having some trouble with the fancy boxes, they don’t stay the same height depending on window size.
They are in 4 columns with equal height set but still display at different heights as the window size is changed.
link: http://176.32.230.17/aimeewillowdesigns.co.uk/#servicesHey MarcGarner,
The “Equal height” column option only applies to the actual column itself – not child elements. In order to have your fancy boxes all remain the same height, you would need to set the “min height” option on all four of them to be taller
Cheers
Hi, I’m still getting a grey bar at the top of my google map when I scroll down to it. I have updated to the latest version of Salient:
https://avenueoverthemoon.com/Hey tricks28,
That’s occurring because of the “grow in” animated effect you have on the column holding it – Google is simply only rendering the titles that fix the size of the element on load, if you switch that column effect off or change it to any of the others it should fix it
Cheers
Thank you – all sorted!!
Glad to hear tricks28
Hi, I used the remove header nav CSS code previously mentioned and now on mobile I have a white strip at top of page. Site is tesshall.com.au – note: this is only happening on mobile.
Hey tesshall,
add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
body.page-template-template-no-header #header-outer, body.page-template-template-no-header-footer #header-outer {
display: none;
}
Cheers
Thanks – appreciate it.
You’re welcome tesshall
Hello! Love the theme. I wanted to know if you can can download the Iconsmind formats Ai. Eps. Because I have to make a style guide.
Have a nice day! Cheers
Hey epics182,
Unfortunately we can’t pass out those files with the theme due to the licensing – we can only include the iconset as a part of theme how it is. If you’d like the original files, you’d need to also purchase that from them here: https://iconsmind.com/
Cheers
Thank you so much for the response! It’s ok
I have another doubt. I am trying to set the off canvas with three colors for gradient. And it didn’t seem to show. Can you give me a hint?
Cheers
Hey, unfortunately that would require custom modding at the current time – but i’ve noted the idea on the wishlist
Hi,
I have been having this theme for a while now. I installed it on a subdomain to try it but visual composer is gone? How do I activate it? I have uploaded the zip file today from my downloads section. Could i get visual composer if I upload the March update.
Hey geekdot,
the WPBakery page builder (formerly visual composer) is still included with the theme and should be available via the install plugins section of your admin panel - if it’s not, 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
Cheers
Will it be possible to design our own single post blog layouts sometime?
Hey musiclifeline, you can already use the page builder for all of your blog post content – are you referring to the post header section?
Hello,
Did you change something on the Instagram page builder? It doesn’t seem to show images anymore?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hey mijafe, there’s no Instagram feed built into Salient by default – are you using a plugin for that? Could you kindly share your URL in regards where the issue can be observed so I can see what you’re referring to?
Thanks
The Instagram Widget in the WpBakery Page Builder
Hey mijafe, Salient doesn’t have an Instagram widget built in – if you’d like to share the URL or open a ticket with the URL we could take a look at what error is occurring though
Cheers
sounds good – just didnt want to drop the url on this public area thanks
I just purchased extended support but when I try to submit a ticket on your site I get an error of: Sorry, support for this Envato Market purchase code has expired. You will need to extend support or purchase a new license.
Never mind – I think it just took a few minutes for your site to process the update. I just sent the ticket in, Thanks!
Hey Nicko_217,
Please see the docs here in regards: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/importing-contact-form-data/
Cheers
div class=”col span_6” for two columns ?
That’s correct Nicko_217

Hi, surprised there’s no left sidebar for blog, am I just blind?
Hey silverlithomes,
In order to create a blog with a left sidebar you’d need to use the “Sidebar – left” page template and then add your blog into the page via the page builder
Cheers
I’m blind. Thanks!
Wait, I don’t understand. So you’re saying I can’t use post types, I must use pages?
Hey silverlithomes, the only left sidebar option is for a page template – so you could place a blog element within the page you create and select left sidebar for. If you’re trying to alter blog archive layouts to use a left side you’d need some CSS
Hi, I suspect my version of Salient WPBakery Page Builder is not up to date, but I can’t figure out how to update it as it I can seem to download it without repurchasing the plugin. Thanks!
Hey silverlithomes, the current Salient version of WPBakery page builder is 5.4.7 – we’ll be releasing 5.5.2 tomorrow or on Monday after we finish testing
Hi! We´re trying to change the off-canvas menu typography size and positions as you use in the following demo: http://preview.themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266
We´ve created a menu, and added it to the off-canvas widget (in the widget area). We have change the tipography size and type (in the tipography section) with no luck and we would like also to set the menu in in the middle of the off-canvas menu (now it appears at the bottom).
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.
I found the solution, sorry, it´s using the Menu location. Thanks
Hey minaranjastan,
I’m glad to hear you found what you were looking for
Cheers
Is it possible to use the Recent Posts module and display posts by tag, instead of just by category?
Hey mikequery,
Unfortunately not as now without some custom modding, but i’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist
Cheers
Hey Nicko_217, add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
.nectar-recent-posts-single_featured .grav-wrap > a,
.nectar-recent-posts-single_featured .grav-wrap .text > span:first-child { display: none; }
Cheers
Hey Nicko_217,
body.single #single-below-header span:first-child, .related-posts[data-style="material"] .grav-wrap { display: none; }
Cheers
THX! And https://yadi.sk/i/pukdchUQ3Z2xmP Please)
Hey Nicko_217,
.single #page-header-bg #single-below-header span { border: none; }
Cheers
Hey Nicko_217,
.nectar-recent-posts-single_featured .grav-wrap .text > span { display: none; }

Hi, I was wondering how I can change the opacity of my ‘Page Header Overlay Color’ in my portfolio?
Hey JuicyStudios,
add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
body .page-header-overlay-color:after { opacity: 0.9; }
Cheers
Awesome. Is there a way to have it target only the portfolio pages and not my home page as well? Or a way to add a page id so I can control it on each portfolio page?
Hey JuicyStudios, change the snippet to the following
.single-portfolio .page-header-overlay-color:after { opacity: 0.9; }
Hey. Great theme. I’ve been using it for years without any issues. However I just need some quick help.
1 – For my portfolio single view page how do I hide the pop up modal just so that it’s a static image without any hover/zoom/not clickable? For example see this page – https://www.nickradjabi.com/portfolio/julie-rose-brisson-bali/
However the hover/zoom is fine on this page so doesn’t need changing. https://www.nickradjabi.com/portfolio/
2 – Secondly, the submit button on my contact form on the contact page is slightly aligned to the right and not centre on mobile view – https://www.nickradjabi.com/contact/ how can I fix this?
Thanks nickradjabi
1. add this into the custom css box in the page builder for that project (top right gear icon in the page builder interface)
body .portfolio-items[data-ps="8"] .col { pointer-events: none; }
2. add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
.ascend.mobile input[type="submit"] { font-size: 13px; }
Cheers
Hey thank you for replying and helping. The mobile code worked perfectly. However the first code didn’t. When I put
body .portfolio-items[data-ps=”8”] .col { pointer-events: none; }
in the custom CSS box (which is currently in place right now) – when you go to https://www.nickradjabi.com/portfolio/ you can no longer click on the overview portfolio item to view the single portfolio item.
If I navigate manually via the backend of WordPress to a single view portfolio item it works (no hover/zoom and pop up modal to view larger image), but there’s no way of getting to the single view via the main portfolio page.
How do I make it so that when I go to /portfolio/ you can click on the single item to view more, but then disable the hover and pop up large view image? I hope I explained that better?
Hey nickradjabi,
Change the snippet to be:
body.single-portfolio .portfolio-items[data-ps="8"] .col { pointer-events: none; }
Cheers
Yes! Thank you so much. That worked perfectly! One final question about the theme. How do I make the “View next/view previous project” section appear at the bottom of the page just like on the “Minimal Portfolio” demo on the single portfolio item? I had a look in the settings but couldn’t find anything!
You’re very welcome nickradjabi – see the Salient options panel > portfolio tab at the field “Single Project Page Navigation”
I had selected “At Bottom W/ Featured Image” in the Portfolio settings tab but nothing showed up. I made sure I had a featured image set in the “featured image” section but still nothing..
Hey nickradjabi,
please reach out in regards with your admin credentials via the contact form on my author page so I can take a closer look https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks
Just reached out to you and sent you a message with my details! Thank you

Thanks Nick
1. You have a mega menu option in the setting called ‘Megamenu Removes Transparent Header’, do you have same option when using your normal dropdown menu (not mega menu)? The reaosn I am asking this is because I have a transparent normal dropdown header and when people roll over and it drops down to secondary navigation the white backgroud just floats and looks odd? (I really dont wan tot havwe to use the menu menu)
2. Is there an option to have a semi-transparent header on certain pages, and if so how?
Thanks.
Hey alisonleon,
1. Unfortunately there’s no option for that – it would require custom javascript development as of now to bind a new event to remove the transparent class
2. That would require page specific CSS – if you can share your URL in regards I can provide an example
Cheers
Thanks, i answer to your question ppint 2: http://fsfinancial.cloudaccess.host/
Also on the mega menu, when i hover over a dropdown there is a block of color (youll see when you roll over ‘our services’. I only want to word to change color, not to have a whole solid block of green, (this is only on the mega menu), how do I fix this?
Hey alisonleon,
See the field “Dropdown Background Hover” in the Salient options panel > header navigation tab when selecting “custom” for your “header color scheme”
Cheers
the colour is the same as the background dropdown but the block is still showing as a darker black… can we remove it just so the text changes, not bloc colour? Is this to do with the opacity f the meg menu as I have it as 98% not 100% but I would really like an opacoty to my menu? If you scroll over ‘work’ you will s ee what I meam http://invitationsalison.cloudaccess.host/
Hey alisonleon, add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
html body[data-dropdown-style="minimal"] header#top nav > ul > li.megamenu > ul ul li a:hover { background-color: transparent!important; }
Cheers
hey guys, i don’t see in the theme settings where to adjust and personalize the 404 page. where do i do that please?
Hey carlandenet, that would require editing of the 404.php file as of now (which can be moved into a child theme if desired)
please elaborate on how to do so, usually this is part of the theme panel settings. i wanna know the steps to customize my 404 page. Please advise. Thanks.
Salient will be adding in options for this in the next release – If you’d like a copy of the beta, please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
guys, can you confirm when we gonna have the new release version? Please provide the procedure to do so as we wait for the new version to come out. Thanks.
Hey carlandenet, it should be ready within 1-2 weeks – the process is the same as always for updating: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/
Hi Team – How can I add a countdown timer to a page on my website
Hey diademdesignstudio,
Unfortunately we don’t have a countdown timer element built into Salient at the moment – this would require the use of a
plugin
