How do I change the hover color for buttons. I have a solid button using the accent color and would like the hover state to be much lighter version of the color than what now appears.
Hey tminjares, there’s no option for the default regular button to change to a different color on hover (it would require css). You can set the hover color separately then the starting color for the see through solid on hover style
Its very sad that you havent added something as basic as fields for google tag manager codes, instead there is just one for analytics code. Further reading shows I have to edit header.php for such basic functionality. This is unacceptable.
Hey instacreative,
the analytics textarea in the options panel can technically house any script or even multiple scripts entered in since it’s just outputting whatever is entered into the document. However, beside the free plugins out there for this, there’s also the child theme option by copying the header.php file or by using the nectar_hook_after_body_open action from a child functions.php.
Hi,
what about the Woocommerce error at the beginning:
“Your theme (Salient) contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files. These files may need updating to ensure they are compatible with the current version of WooCommerce”
Thank you!
Hey MotionRunner, which templates are showing up as outdated? If they’re related to the cart directory, they’re likely lingering around from a previous version of the theme. Salient no longer includes any files in the salient/woocommerce/cart directory. So if that’s the case, please ensure none of the following files are present in your theme directory (wp-content/themes/salient)
Thank you for your reply. This is what i’ve got after importing “Business” demo:
http://prntscr.com/kgsindHey MotionRunner, can you also verify that you’re on Salient 8.5.6?
Ou, sorry for the problem it was because of the Xampp… now when i’m online it’s working correctly. Thank you!
Hey MotionRunner, glad to hear you sorted it out

http://neat.cloudaccess.host/Hey alisonleon,
Items 1, 2 and 4 would require custom CSS, item 3 is going to be added in the coming update due out very shortly.

Is it possible to have an achor point on certain images on a page that will take you to another section on the page? (im using your one page website demo)
Hey alisonleon,
Yes – simply use the full URL of the page and add the anchor on the end of it. e.g. http://domain.com/#anchor
Thanks, where I do I do this?
If you click here and scroll down the the circles, each circle image or title (what we do) needs to be an anchor, is that still possible, or advise how to do it? They are columns within a row…
http://neat.cloudaccess.host/#whoweareDont worry fixed it 
Glad to hear
alisonleon 
Is it possible to remove the hover effect on portfolio items please? I would like the meta to show but not the colour hover effect please. Thank you. This is the page I would like to adjust: https://goo.gl/54jEiS
Hey velocity_uk,
add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
.portfolio-items .col[data-default-color="true"] .work-item:not(.style-3) .work-info-bg { display: none; }
Cheers
Is it possible to remove the title/meta from the portfolio thumbnails, so it just shows the image and the zoom or a color… but no text? http://neat.cloudaccess.host/#gallery
Hey alisonleon,
add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
body .portfolio-items .col .work-info .vert-center { display: none; }
Cheers
Hi, how can I add a radius to the image (before and on hover) for the ‘meta on hover + entire thumb link)?
and add a border 1px stroke in black?

Hello Themenectar!! What an amazing theme Salient is, one of the best out there!!
1 – I wanted to know if its possible to make this demo http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog-dark/ my “blog” page considering that i’m already using the Corporate Creative demo, is it possible to install more than one demo? Please let me know!
2 – I also would like to know how to remove the excerpts from all the posts http://prntscr.com/kg68s3. I tried disabling the “Automatic Post Excerpts” on the blog options but no success.
I was reading some of your replies and i was able to achieve this step: http://prntscr.com/kg6c9c Please let me know what is the next step for 2!
Hey thipatriota, thanks a lot for kind words 
If you’re using a version of Salient greater than 8.5, you’ll have that post style available in the Salient options panel > blog tab. It’s called “Auto Masonry: Meta Overlaid Spaced”. Also, if you just want to add that blog layout to an arbitrary page, you can find that section available in the Salient studio template library: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/ Cheers
After switching to PHP 7:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_escape_string() in /home2/rparks12/public_html/wp-content/themes/salient-child/functions.php:60 Stack trace: #0 /home2/rparks12/public_html/wp-settings.php(424): include() #1 /home2/rparks12/public_html/wp-config.php(111): require_once(’/home2/rparks12…’) #2 /home2/rparks12/public_html/wp-load.php(37): require_once(’/home2/rparks12…’) #3 /home2/rparks12/public_html/wp-admin/admin.php(31): require_once(’/home2/rparks12…’) #4 /home2/rparks12/public_html/wp-admin/themes.php(10): require_once(’/home2/rparks12…’) #5 {main} thrown in /home2/rparks12/public_html/wp-content/themes/salient-child/functions.php on line 60
Hey bajsolinowich, that error is coming from your child theme functions.php – mysql_escape_string is not used in the default salient child theme functions.php. Can you open a ticket in regards with the contents of your child theme functions file so we can take a look? https://themenectar.ticksy.com Thanks in advance
Hi,
Is it possible to have the same method of sorting that is used for portfolio for woocommerce store page?
ie. when you select 1 category the others are hidden
thank you
Hey tricks28,
Unfortunately not as of now, however something similar will be added in the following update e.g. support for YITH ajax product filters
Cheers
Great thank you!! Is there a scheduled release date for the next update?
cheers T
Hey tricks28, as of now it’s 1-2 weeks and we’re still passing out the beta version now. 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
Hi, I’ve messaged 2x for the beta but still not received a link. Could you please send asap.
thank you
Hey tricks28, sorry about that – just sent over a copy earlier today

Hi, if i use a one pager and check this on resposiv mode, the off canvas menu not close after i click on a menu item. like your example here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-product/ how i can fix that?
Hey Shenjai,
Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look at your settings to assist
Thanks in advance
Hey, look @ your demo site http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-product/ with screen max-width: 320px. click on the menu and press a menu link.
Hey Shenjai,
When viewing that demo URL on an actual smartphone device you should see the menu close upon clicking an anchor link, I just tested that on an iPhoneX / GS8, if you’re not seeing that please let me know what device you’re using
Cheers
hi, Menu not close on clicking an anchor link @ galaxie S3 and all browser screens smaller as 400px. you can test it with google developer modus resposiv smaller as 400px. i have the same affect on mobile phone
Hey Shenjai,
I just checked the demo URL http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-product/ on a GS4 and can see the menu closing on each anchor click, unfortunately I don’t have a Gs3 available to test on at the moment but have noted to look further into it. Also – the functionality will not get triggered on a desktop even if the window is very small, the script checks to verify the browser is a mobile browser before triggering it
Cheers
ok! is there a jQuery event that I can embed in the child theme that close the off canvas menu by clicking on an anchor link?
hi again, for now i fixed for myself. if any need:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('.menu-item').click(function () {
jQuery('.open')[0].click();
});
});
Hey Shenjai, glad to hear you sorted it

With Gutenberg being released soon, how will this affect the Salient theme and any theme updates going forward? What’s the best steps going forward?
Hey nickcollins,
Salient uses the WPBakery page builder and that plugin is currently working on finishing up compatibility with Gutenberg. Salient will also still
receive updates.
Cheers
Hi guys, really love your theme, we use it for years and still being fresh!
Just one question, its possible to set 1 product column of woocommerce products in mobile, and 3 in desktop? Because we cannot find the solution for that anywhere 
Hope you can help us. Thanks
Hey themainstuff!
The beta version of Salient has added complete control over WooCommerce Product columns for all viewports – 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 Cheers
How am I able to add padding/border/margin to a row? Usually most themes have a tab in the row to change this stuff
Hey JohnsonDesignCo,
The parent rows in the Salient WPBakery page builder offer top/bottom padding in the main settings modal as well as translate X/Y options – if you nest another row inside of the parent row, that inner row will have the default design options tab you’re referring to
I’m talking about this box: https://gyazo.com/876f56e26c1af9b1ef5778b30b693bd7 You have it enabled for Headings, why can’t I use that for rows?
Hey JohnsonDesignCo, WPBakery enables that for its own elements by default (the custom heading element is a core plugin element). Salient existed for a couple years before WPBakery was added and already had its own padding settings for rows so when the page builder was implemented that tab was disabled to prevent breaking legacy user setups. I’ve noted to take another look into enabling it
Hi ThemeNectar,
I’m hoping you could help me out or at least point me in the right direction. For some reason Google Maps isn’t working on the following page even when I have an API key inputted within the Salient General Settings tabs.
If you could please visit (http://neileverosborne.com/workshops/falkland-islands/) and offer an insight as to why the Google Map isn’t showing up at the bottom of the page I would greatly appreciate it.
Many thanks. Best, Alan
Hey Alan,
When checking the browser console the error being reported is: “InvalidKeyMapError” https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#invalid-map-key-error Can you ensure the key you’ve entered is correct and has no extra spaces in the beginning or end?
Cheers
Thanks for taking the time to respond. After removing an extra space at the beginning the map appears to be working now. Very odd seeing yesterday even without an extra space it wasn’t working but today it is. Go figure.
Follow-up question: is there a way in Salient to alter the look of the map i.e. colour/overlay or does that have to be done through Google?
Thanks again for your response, really appreciate it. Best, Alan
Hello again,
I just added a custom icon for the map marker, updated the page and refreshed my browser and now the map again isn’t working.
See screenshot here:
https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZhrtW7ZkUNDWCdqMsYBs6fp2Hws4SrlYc5X Not sure exactly what is wrong with the API key/Google or whether my browser/cache isn’t reloading.Any help you could offer would be great.
Best, Alan
Hey designreborne,
1. All of the customization options Salient offers for the map are visible in the map element itself – there’s an option for a color overlay when you select the checkbox for “Greyscale Color”
2. The error in the console is now pointing to here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages?utm_source=maps_js&utm_medium=degraded&utm_campaign=billing#api-key-and-billing-errors – have you enabled billing for your Google account? Google made changes last month that now require all Google map API usage to also have an active billing account. You can read more about it here: https://forums.envato.com/t/important-changes-to-the-google-maps-platform/173357 Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar,
I have read many comments regarding the upcoming update to 9.0 and I am really interested in one feature in particular. It’s the front-end editor, which for me would be a hudge help. Heaving read all the comments I wasn’t able to determine if the update to 9.0 will include it or it will be available with further updates. Please clarify.
Best regards Catalin
Hey Catalin,
Unfortunately that specific feature has been postponed, however it’ll likely go back to the main focus right after the release
Cheers
Hey ThemeNectar,
Thank you for the clarification. Hopefully you guys will optimize it soon because it really is a huge feature.
Kind regards, Catalin
You’re welcome Catalin 
I have made a one-page site with a regular woocommerce store on it’s own pages. I have problems with anchoring when in other pages than the main page due to anchoring.
Do you have a solution to define a separate menu for all other pages than the main page (or vice versa)?
https://theme-fusion.com/documentation/avada/pages/one-page-menu-with-multi-page-links/Also, I really hope you develop the WooCoomerce even further in Salient 9. This theme has great potential for webstore startups.
Hey mono-studios,
V9 is adding a bunch of new WooCommerce features/options 
When using anchor links, just ensure you have the entire URL in the link i.e.
http://domain.com/#anchor rather than just #anchorCheers
I have tried this, and it causes it’s own problems:
1) The page reloads, and the anchor is initiated before the page is fully loaded. This cause the anchor point to be higher than normal. 2) It causes problems with off canvas/mobile menu (Slide Out).
I’ve sent you an inbox message to become a beta tester for next version.
Hey mono-studios,
could you kindly the URL in regards so I can take a look at the setup?
Sure. Thank you. https://mortennorheim.com/
Hey mono-studios,
It seems that the absolute links are currently not being used and you have a fullscreen off canvas menu style selected rather than the slide out style – in regards to your initial question of creating a separate menu for a specific page, that would require the use of a plugin as of now if you didn’t want to modify with some conditionals in a child theme. https://wordpress.org/plugins/conditional-menus/ Cheers
