Hey artblend!
add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
body .portfolio-items .work-meta { width: 100%; text-align: center; }

Excellent. Thanks so much!
You’re welcome artblend 
Just a quick comment to themenectar: 1) I absolutely love this theme. 2) But I am moving away from Visual Composer to standardize on Elementor. If you haven’t checked out Elementor, I recommend you do so. The developers are very active, it’s got a huge community and a lot of momentum (Google for “elementor resources trello” to see what I mean). I think there’s an opportunity for you to make Salient one of the default themes for that community.
Hey AMcDermott Thanks for the suggestion – we have checked out elementor in the past, unfortunately the license is not quite as flexible as WPBakerys in terms of modifying
/redistributing. We will take another look into it to verify that’s still the case.
Cheers
Looks like you can bundle the free but not pro:
Can I Use Elementor for my Commercial Theme? Yes.
Please don’t change any credit or brand attribute, so we can continue to provide the plugin for free.
You can bundle the free version of Elementor into your commercial theme but it is strictly prohibited to bundle the pro version to the theme that you sell
https://docs.elementor.com/article/139-can-i-use-elementor-for-my-commercial-theme Cheers!Hey AMcDermott, yes – that’s correct. The main hurdle would be integrating it to work with all of the the existing Salient elements without modifying it.
Yeah, there’s definitely a lot of work in that. But given the size of ecosystem (and tiny number of themes the community uses and recommends) I think it might be worth the time investment. Good luck whatever you do.
Thanks AMcDermott
Hi, is it possible to do internal page linking with #section-abc on Fullscreen Row pages?
Disregard my question pls, I found the option to make this work.
Hey yzhang747,
Glad to hear you sorted it

Hi, I cannot add GDPR acceptance checkboxes in Salient theme, style sheet automatically hides input [checkox] in contact forms or newsletter form, when do you plan to bring the topic into compliance with the GDPR law?
Thanks, Regards
Hey Oll, firstly ensure that you have the option “Enable Fancy Select/Checkbox/Radio Styling” disabled in the Salient options panel > form styling tab to rule out a simple css conflict with the plugin you’re using. If that’s not the problem, kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look
Thanks
Hey Oll, just following up again after seeing the 1 star review for us not responding to you. Please keep in mind you posted your comment at night for my time – I responded after waking up in the morning, I was not trying to avoid helping you.
Hope to hear from you soon so we can sort your issue out
Hi,
sorry for 1 star, but since you had responded to comments more recent than mine, and not mine, I thought you did not wish to respond. I see you’re following the problem so I withdraw my bad comment
I did the right thing, but it doesn’t change anything. The checkboxes remain invisible and if I force the display through a CSS rule the visible checkboxes cannot be clicked.
I send you the address of the site in private message so that you can look at it. Thanks Regards
Hey Oll, I reached back in regards this morning via email and will follow up when I hear back.
Looking forward to getting that issue sorted for you and hopefully earning back a positive rating
Cheers
Using your theme, I have several portfolio pieces that are redirecting to different links using the option, “External Project URL”. This works great on the portfolio pages, but I just found that if it shows up on the search page, it links to the slug of the portfolio piece and does not link to the External Project URL.
I have set up JS redirects on the portfolio pages for these posts, but this may be something you want to correct in future versions of your theme.
Hey scotosaurus, thanks for letting me know – I’ll be adding the fix for that into the next release
How do make a button short code open in new tab? I clicked the “Open Link In New Tab?” option when creating the button from Nectar short code but it’s not working.
Hey mike_bl, on the button shortcode that was generated can you confirm that the attribute open_new_tab=”true” is set? If it is, 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
Thanks
Adding open_new_tab=“true” does the trick since the nectar short code generator doesn’t add it by default
Thanks very much!

Hi, I send you a 2x request for a demo of the next update about a month ago. Can you please check? Thanks
Hey st1FFFy, I just sent out a copy earlier today.

I have two questions. 1. Can ‘hotspots’ link to a URL. 2. This theme appears to not allow image maps to link on “mobile devices” they work on desktop, but not mobile devices. I have tested two separate image map plugins and I have had the exact same problem. I have had them tested on different themes and they work perfectly fine. In each scenario, I deactivated all of the plugins except for the (Salient WPBakery) plugin and the image map links still did not work on “mobile devices”. Is this an issue that can be resolved?
Thanks.
Hey kidmarvel,
1. You can add an HTML anchor inside of the tooltip text field. Just ensure that the “Tooltip Functionality” of the image with hotspot element is set to “Show On Click”
2. Can you please share a URL in regards that shows the issue so I can take a look?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I’ve been using this theme for a few years now and really like it, however I’ve often had issues with loading speeds – have you any ways to increase this, I’m already using a caching plugin and minifying.
my site is www.creativevideoproduction.co.uk
Thanks, Ben
Hey Ben,
Checking your site I quickly noticed a few things:
1. You have some images uploaded at sizes way too large for how they’re being used. For example:http://www.creativevideoproduction.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/dcon-logo-large-green-LM.png (uploaded at 1338px wide - displayed at 250px wide) http://www.creativevideoproduction.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Pulse-Logo-White.png (uploaded at 3233px wide - displayed at 100px wide)If you upload those at the correct sizes, your pagespeed score will rise
2. Some of your images are also not compressed as much as they could be for the web. You can use a plugin like this to help: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smushit/
3. You have a few plugins that are loading external scripts adding to the number of requests (twitter widget, Google reviews widget etc) and those are currently not being cached
Cheers
Hey TS!
Thanks for the great support over the years!
I’m having an issue with integrating Woocommerce bookings, wondering if there is something affecting it in Salient?
The link is https://chocolatefactorygosford.com.au/product/factory-tour/ If you click ‘choose’ to select a date in the calendar, it hangs forever and produces the error “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)”With an inspect element you’ll be able to easily see what I’m talking about.
Have you run into this before? Couldn’t find anything else in the discussion.
Thanks
Hey JLD_DESIGN!
That sounds like a server caching issue or server security feature that’s blocking the plugin script. Have you tried to reach out to your hosting company in regards to ask them?
Cheers
I’ve got a youtube video as a background to a row that should fill the full width of the screen. When the page loads the video is small in the top left corner but if I resize the browser very slightly the video instantly enlarges to the correct size. How do I fix this please?
Hey bakercreative,
Can you please share the page URL where I can take a look?
Thanks in advance
I need your help, i’m making my woocommerce product catalogue and i’m having a layout problem. When i divide it in 3 rows everything works fine, but when i divide it in 2 rows or resize my page, i get one blank space. In case you need to see the original page, here it is: https://sofaandmore.co.uk/smbeta/collection/
http://sofaandmore.co.uk/smbeta/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/2col.png
http://sofaandmore.co.uk/smbeta/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/3col.png
Hey SofaandMore,
Your Custom CSS of:
.woocommerce .span_9 ul.products li.product, .woocommerce-page .span_9 ul.products li.product {
width: 296px !important;
}
.woocommerce .product-wrap {
width: 296px!important;
}
is what’s causing that issue – if you remove that there shouldn’t be any extra gaps. Are you trying to change the layout into 2 columns?
Cheers
No, we still want to keep the 3 columns, even on laptop screen. The problem is, when the the page resizes for a smaller screen, i get blank spaces. but i still want to keep the 3 columns in smaller screens. I tried the code but i still have the blank spaces and i also need 3 columns and not 2.I’m selecting 3 items for raw, but i only get 2 with those blank spaces between some.

Hey SofaandMore,
I’m still seeing that the code above is entered in your site – it will need to be removed in order to fix the issue. If you don’t know where it’s coming from, 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
Thank you for your help. I need your help in one more thing please. Is it possible to have 2 versions of the widget category product, to maintain the one i have right now on the desktop, but create a drop down version to Mobile?
hey SofaandMore,
You could add both versions to your site and then use CSS to display/hide them on the needed viewports. If you want to add them both and provide the page URL,
I can provide an example snippet
Cheers
Hey SofaandMore,
I’m only seeing one widget on that URL still, but here’s the CSS needed to remove it on mobile only.
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
#sidebar > div:first-child {
display: none;
}
}
Cheers
Hi, why is the extra content section (for portfolio items) no longer available in Salient 7.0.8? I have already searched in the portfolio settings and it seems to have just disappeared. I’d appreciate your help!
Hey jesspinewood, the extra content editor was not removed – 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
Hi, unfortunately I can’t open a ticket because I don’t have access to the account that purchased the theme. Is there any other way?
Hey jesspinewood, if you lost the account you could reach out to Envato directly in regards to get the licensee transferred to your current account: https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=170903
A background video I implemented will not play on any mobile (using vc background), How do i fix this?
Hey MatthewMurdoch, support for autoplaying self hosted video backgrounds is available in the current beta, 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
I have many Outdated WooCommerce Templates. Can you please push an update to fix this?
Hey GladLock96, there should be no outdated template warning with the latest WooCommerce (3.4.3) and Salient (8.5.6). Can you check the woocommerce directory inside of your Salient theme folder to ensure that there is no ”cart” directory? The cart directory was removed a few releases ago and if it lingered around in your setup post updating, it would indeed cause issues. If there are other templates showing as outdated, please list the ones that are being reported as so.
Thanks in advance
How to make menu transparent and over video like Corporate 2?
Hey gaoranger, that template is available in the Salient studio for you to import: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/
I have imported that. But where is the setting for making the menu hover over the slider? Cause mine was set Menu and Slider are 2 separate content.
Hey gaoranger, see the option “Force Transparency On Navigation” in the page header settings metabox when editing your page. If you don’t see that option, ensure that you have the option enabled for “Use Transparent Header When Applicable” in the Salient options panel > header navigation > transparency tab
There you go. Thank you very much. My problem is solved
Glad to hear gaoranger
I have the latest version of Salient with WPBakery Page Builder. I have set up images with titles and alt tags. When I inspect the image the alt tag is showing. But when I hover over the image there is no alt tag displayed. I tried this on both Chrome and Firefox with the same result. I then checked another website and it shows the alt tags perfectly. I have Yoast premium and it is also saying that there are no alt tags. Any suggestions?
Hey nikki_macfarlane,
Can you please share the page URL where this can be observed?
Thanks in advance
Sure. https://childbirthinternational.com/ You can hover over the logo in the top left and there is no alt tag displaying but when I look at inspect I can see it there. Thanks!
Hey nikki_macfarlane, I am seeing that the alt is set in the markup – are you referring to a title attribute rather than an alt attribute? Title attributes are what would display on hovering and a title is not set on the logo by default. You would need to modify the “nectar_logo_output” function in the functions.php file in regards
Cheers
Hi (again and again sorry…) I want the text in both my menus larger www.studiolaflamme.com how? Thanks!
Hey silverlithomes,
See the “Navigation Font” field in the Salient options panel > typography tab

Hi,
can we add box shadow effect for page(body) borders like :
https://cdn.dribbble.com/users/272353/screenshots/4025333/preview_dribbble_saleseles-01.png
https://cdn.dribbble.com/users/807887/screenshots/3163376/gloriouslabs-website-v4.gif
or add any custom code to do that?
and also make some radius around the corner?
Best
Hey samoel_666, unfortunately with the way the body border is created that wouldn’t be possible without some custom development. However, I’ve noted the idea for the wishlist
Cheers
