Hello team, I’m a old buyer of your theme, I dont know if i need to support for this, but just need to know how i could change and modify the mobile layout? I mean, typography too big and line-height…etc
Thx
Hey Popsicle,
See the Salient options panel > typography > responsive settings tab in regards
Cheers
Hi, I´m trying to find a way to give a Nectar slider button a _blank target, but I can´t find a way, can you guide me?
Thanks in advance!
Hey WeboCreativo!
Add the class “external-button-1” or “external-button-2” to the slide Extra Class Name field
Cheers
Awesome! Thanks again!
You’re welcome WeboCreativo
Hi I have a question, I can not seem to put particles on the homepage for some reason. Do you have a solution for this? There is also something that I want but I can not seem to get it right.
Example : https://brendly.nl/
I want the divider to move like this as seen on the homepage of the website above. I have the particles and the addon plugins.
Please let me know how I can get the moving divir as well as particles on my homepage.
Best regards,
Ruben
Hey Ruben,
Salient offers a particle based header that creates particles from a supplied image, but that particle display and moving divider are custom. Could you share your own URL where you’re trying to implement those addons so I can see the setup?
Cheers
Best regards,
Ruben
Hey Ruben,
Yes, Salient includes a static shape divider by default available when editing any row in the “shape divider” tab. There’s no animation option for it by default
Cheers
Alright, do you have any idea how to make that happen for my website?
Regards, Ruben
Hey Ruben,
I don’t have any plugins to specifically recommend to achieve that – it looks as if it was completely custom unrelated to a plugin since it’s entered in a wpbakery raw code page builder element
Please, save me from a nightmare! It has been only a few days since I get the salient theme and already regret of the purchase. I need to translate the front end of the site to spanish (words like leave a reply, so on) but nothing worked, try to edit the .po files with poedit, and upload the files with filezilla and cpanel but didn’t´s worked, so I used loco translate: not worked. Used Say what: nop. Nothing works!!! I´m in the tears´border. please anyone can help me??? The only thing that seem to works, and not entirely, is plugin String Locator but doesn’t allow all the changes that I need and if I update the theme or WP, it seems like all the changes will be deleted, so??? I´m thinking, if the translation doesn’t work, the theme is not useful for me, i need that language! And I can´t afford the WPML right now (also, it should be included with the purchase, like another themes!) So??? It seems like I made a mistake buying this theme, I was thrilled by all the bling bling but right now, I feel so disappointed! BTW: Most of the words I need to translate are in: wp-content/themes/salient/functions.php so? event worst, right?
Hey NTCo, Salient is indeed translation ready – have you followed the documentation and ensured you’re naming your .po/.mo file correctly based on the language code your WP is using?
Also In Loco Translate > Themes > Salient > Advanced you can set the path to the .pot file. For the Template file field use “lang/nectar_salient_strings.pot” – you can then generate a new .po based on the translations you do. If you need further assistance getting it to work, please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so we can take a look and assist https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Is there a way to make my Salient slider a H1 header instead of H2?
As this is the main title on the homepage.
Hey dzineee, you can copy the entire “nectar_slider_display” function from the functions.php file into a child theme functions.php and make the modification there.
Cheers
Is this not a common request? As the slider will usually make up the header and the title, is not everybody using this for a H1 title?
Hey dzineee,
An H2 is the default since there’s also usually more than one slide. If you’re only using one slide, that could easily be replicated without the need for a Nectar Slider element using a page builder row or the page header metabox itself (which uses an h1)
Ah I see. Yes I would prefer to use the page builder but then I cannot get a button in there. Or would that work using a page builder row with button overlay?
The page header metabox does not allow buttons
Never mind I think I will be able to figure it out using some custom css. Thank you for your help.
Glad to hear dzineee
Is it possible to create fancy unordered lists with text links to Vimeo videos and have those videos open in a lightbox on the same page – same as the video lightbox element?
Hey Andrew1647,
You could do it with regular unordered lists, but you’d need to add custom class names to the links to get that to work. For example: https://pastebin.com/SGcuHQd9 Cheers
When I just activate the Salient theme from wordpress dashboard, it says “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in http://mydomainname.com/wp-content/themes/salient/functions.php on line 5788
How can I fix this issue please?
This is the code on line 5788:
add_filter( ‘loop_shop_per_page’, function($cols){ global $nectar_woo_products_per_page; return $nectar_woo_products_per_page; }, 20 );
Hey web_leader,
Please ensure that you’re using PHP 5.3 or greater, the error you’ve linked leads me to believe you’re on an earlier version. WooCommerce also recommends a minimum of PHP 5.6 https://silicondales.com/tutorials/woocommerce/minimum-requirements-woocommerce/ Cheers
I already updated PHP version and then it worked fine. Thanks for your reply.
Glad to hear web_leader
Hi all! I was wondering if there is a way to add a background image to the navigation bar of the Salient theme? Help is much appreciated!!
Also wondering if there’s an easy way to get a boarder around images, I want a hand drawn sketched look but images will be varying in size?
Hey thinkmake,
1. That would require a line of custom css. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
#header-outer {
background-position: center;
background-image: url('img-src.jpg');
}
2. When editing the column(s) which hold your image(s), you could set a border using the “Border Options” tab at the top
Cheers

Hi ThemeNectar,
Please visit: http://neileverosborne.com/workshops/falkland-islands/ I am trying to add a ‘Parallax Background’ by adding an image into the background of the row settings but as you can see in the link above it is not working and I can not figure out why. All that appears is a single line about 1 pixel in height. The Parallax should appear right below the words:
Check In Time: Oct. 10th – Between 2:00PM – 5:00PM Check Out Time: Oct. 20th – Before 10:00AM
Can you please help me out.
Many thanks. Best, Alan
Hey Alan,
I’m currently seeing a parallax img display there of some penguins – it’s quite tall since there’s 600px set for the top/bottom padding. Are you still unable to see it on your end? If so, could you kindly let me know what browser/OS you’re experiencing that on?
Thanks in advance
Hi ThemeNectar, Thank you very much for your reply.
The only reason there is a parallax image is due to the top/bottom padding of 600px. If I remove the padding the parallax affect is no longer active.
If you visit the link again (http://neileverosborne.com/workshops/falkland-islands) and look at the image below the “WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED” section you will see a thin 1px line which is supposed to be a background image with parallax affect.
Not sure why the parallax affect doesn’t work without the top/bottom padding. Please help.
If you need WP credentials please let me know and I would be happy to create a user for you.
Browser: Firefox Quantum 61.0.1 (64-bit) OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.6
Many thanks.
Best, Alan
Hey Alan, a row in the page builder will not automatically have height. A Background image set is the same as a background color, it’s just a style set on the row itself. The row will conform to the height of elements placed inside of it + the padding set. If you wish to have a background image only for the purpose of a parallax image, you could simply set the top/bottom padding to a responsive value (% based) to have it adjust its size on various viewports. Enter values like 15% for the top/bottom and adjust from there to your needs.
Hi TN,
For some reason, I want to set a 1920×1280 picture in a nectar slider.
On mobile it shows fine when I leave the height empty.
But on PC it always cuts the picture. The menu bar overlaps the nectar slide. How do I make sure the menu bar doesn’t cut the image in my nectar slider?

Hello,
How can I enhance the photo resolution? http://prntscr.com/ke7eyq It’s by default law quality in many areas where I use photos. I prefer it 100% high quality as we’re presenting designs. how can I fix that? ThanksHey brandio,
Verify in your image gallery element that you’ve specified a size in the “Image Size” field – you can also enter the word “full” to display the image uncropped
Cheers

Hey wisecow, please verify that you have the Salient WPBakery plugin active in your setup (it can be installed in the Appearance > install plugins section of your admin panel if you haven’t yet). If you already have it active, please share your URL in regards so I can take a look
Thank you. Its working fine now
Glad to hear wisecow
Hey
So I am curious how I might create a video lightbox similar to the meta hover on zoom image gallery lightbox on this page: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/image-grid/ Is this possible within the theme, without using the portfolio option? I would want 3 images across at full width….
I am down to pay you guys if it takes that to get it..just curious if it is available and I am missing something???
Great theme & love the support!
Hey pvictor4,
The closest thing you could get to that without custom development/using a portfolio element would be to just use the video lightbox element inside of a row set to full width content/3 columns. There’s an example close to this in the Salient studio template library called “video lightboxes” http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/ Cheers
Bruno – have a look at MemberPress. I have built a video membership site using Salient and MemberPress. Works really well.
Hey Andrew1647, thanks a lot for helping out another
Hi guys,
I have a fairly big pre-sale question if you can bear with me. I appreciate if you can help me on this decision.
Last year I purchased the WPLMS theme (here on themeforest). I wanted to build a platform to store my online courses and sell them and, well, it seemed like a great fit. It has been a year and I still haven’t used it. Something is keeping me from using it: the design. I have spent too long building my courses (Calculus courses for college students) to use such a ugly template. Let’s be honest: it’s pretty ugly.
That said, I want to use something beautiful like Salient. But, since it’s not aimed to people that want to sell online courses, it lacks a few functionalities, like payment solutions, restriction to content and so on.
So my question is: can I use salient and, through using a few plugins, implement the functionalities that I need to sell online courses? Has anyone done that with your plugin? How easy would that be?
Thank you for your time and I would honestly appreciate if you guys could help me on this decision.
Have a great day,
Bruno
Hey Bruno,
you would indeed need to use a third party plugin to add that functionality. Do you already have any in mind that you’re wondering about the compatibility with Salient?
Hi. I originally created several pages using “default template” because at the time, the “portfolio template” did not offer some of the functionality I wanted. They do now. Am I able to convert default template pages to be portfolio pages? I would like the “prev/next” project CTA’s that portfolio pages get which I don’t currently have on the default page templates.
Thanks!
Hey A_K,
All portfolio projects should be able to go to the next/previous project regardless if there’s a parent page with the template or the page builder element – are you specifically referring to the “back to all” middle button link available on the older pagination styles? Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
Thanks in advance
Hey, sorry I don’t think I explained it well. At the bottom of this page, there is a previous and next project CTA with images. On the most recent project it’s a full width CTA for the next project: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-slider-portfolio/portfolio/salient-concert-promo/ I am wondering how I can achieve this without my pages being a “portfolio” template. Here is a project: https://andrewklotz.ca/travel-yukon I put a “back to projects” CTA but it’s not the best experience… Hopefully that makes more sense.
Thank you!
Hey A_K,
I understand now – you would indeed need to copy those pages into projects (which could be done from the classic editor). There’s also a couple plugins out there such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-type-switcher/ which may be able to simply that
Cheers
Ok thank you! That plug-in kind of worked. It made the layout brake: https://andrewklotz.ca/portfolio/addiction-next-step-2 Is it possible to fix the layouts so the width is the same etc? When I copy and paste the Classic Editor code the layout is also broken with a different looking navigation…
Also, I am getting a very simple previous and next project function. How can I bring in the visual ones with the images like this: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-slider-portfolio/portfolio/salient-concert-promo/ Thanks for your help.
Hey A_K,
1. Make sure to enable the option “Full Width Portfolio Item Layout” in your project configuration metabox when editing the project
2. You can select that pagination style in the Salient options panel > portfolio tab at the “Single Project Page Navigation” field.
Cheers
Hiya, Ive sent you quote a few questions already and appreicate all your help. I am really struggling to achieve something really really simple, it seems you have great options but not a somple option… please see below what I am looking for. I want an image that when hovered, had a slight colour opacity and text to appear. It seems out of allllll the options I have tried (single images, fancy boxes, portfolio, blog etc) that Flip Box seems to work the best except for the flip (whch I really dont want!) The flip boxes seems to upload the images in the correct size without skuing the image has gives up good options fo rhe text and opacity coverage. Can I either: 1. Still use this flip box (see here http://neat.cloudaccess.host/#clients) but remove the flipping and just had a simle hover option? 2. Or another wya to do this BUT I want the images to have a radius and fit nicely on the page like the flip box? (but to give me a setting so all boxes have the same minumum height). If you sctool further down youll see the fancy box, the shape of my image has just gone weird! The next row contains portfolio images, but again the images look werrd (not like the flip box) but no option for radius corners and alighment of images have gone weird! PLEASE HELP
Hey alisonleon,
you can remove the “flip” effect from the flip box by using the following CSS
.nectar-flip-box .flip-box-front, .nectar-flip-box .flip-box-back {
transition: none!important;
}
Thank you that worked! Is it at all possible when removing the flip to still have the hover to be a bit like the portfolio hover (its not so instant, the text/backgroud color fades in very subtly)?
You’re welcome alisonleon
add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel as well:
body .nectar-flip-box[data-h_text_align] .flip-box-back { opacity: 0; transition: opacity 0.3s ease!important; }
.nectar-flip-box[data-h_text_align]:hover .flip-box-back { opacity: 1; }
Cheers
