Hey Nicko_217,
Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.single-post #page-header-bg[data-post-hs="default"] { height: auto!important; padding-top: 50px; padding-bottom: 50px; }
body.single-post #page-header-bg[data-post-hs="default"][data-alignment-v="middle"]:not(.fullscreen-header) .span_6 { -webkit-transform: none!important; transform: none!important; top: 0!important; }
}
Cheers
Great update. Regarding YITH AJAX Filters inclusion (which I have wanted for some time): The CSS doesn’t seem to handle the Bi-Color options at all. Are you planning to fix this in a minor update soon?
Thanks dragoncalledk, we only added styling for the free version of the plugin – however I’ve noted to that the bicolor option in 9.0.1 
Could you kindly provide a URL showing it?
Cheers
This is the CSS that needs to be added for bi-color in the Premium version:
.woocommerce .widget_layered_nav ul.yith-wcan-color li a span.multicolor {
&.color-1 {
border-width: 32px 32px 0 0;
}
&.color-2 {
border-width: 0 0 32px 32px;
}
}
CSS for the TAG type of filter would also be great! Tags should really be horiziontally presented, like the labels, rather than the category-style list (though this may be better feedback for the YITH team directly).
Thanks for letting me know dragoncalledk
Please put again this form style:
I can’t found in this last update.
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-business-2/business-2-contact/
Thank you
Hey nocomments, unfortunately that style had to be simplified to not rely on javascript due to consistent third party conflicts. We did however add a new modern style for the material theme skin which you can see by deactivating the minimal form styling option (change the setting to inherit)
Please, try to put this style in the next updates, no JS in this code example:
https://codepen.io/callmenick/pen/OxpKNZ
Thank You
Hey nocomments, thanks for sharing that.
The issue with that is still that it requires a specific structure i.e. div with a nested label and input. Many different form plugins use various structures not similar to that, which would cause the label positioning to fail. In the old minimal style, Salient attempted to use JS to force an HTML structure like that to get the effect, however in some instances it would fail resulting in broken labels
thank you.
You’re welcome nocomments
Hi,
Great theme
2 issues I’m having recently though…
1. Almost all images I try to upload (from .JPG to .PNG) give me something called an “HTTP error”? 
2. After updating to v.9, all YouTube video embedded on my posts have shrunk to really small sizes… how can it go back to the way they were previously?
Thanks!
Hey sinarad
1. Have you tried to see if increasing your WP memory affects it yet? If not, you can add the following into your wp-config.php file
define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );
2. Could you share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
Cheers
Hey Sina, that line needs to go after the opening <?php in the file – anything before that will not get parsed – remove or change the line to that location to sort the issue
Hey,
Thanks for the quick reply. So a few things…
1. Got my website out of “broken-mode” so that’s always good lol
2. Added that “define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ );” after the ”<?php” but I’m not sure if it’s working. I just went to Media -> Library -> Add New and noticed that it not only still says “Maximum upload file size: 64 MB” but I still get the same HTTP Error by trying to upload a random .JPG file
3. You should be able to see my website now though, so if you could, please go to [swiftrunners.com] and click on any post you like (they all follow the same template). From there, just scroll down a tiny bit and you’ll see what I mean by the ultra-compressed YouTube embedded videos.
Thanks again for the quickness on helping, really appreciate it
- Sina
Hey Sina!
2. Could you kindly open a ticket in regards via the support forum with your admin credentials so we can take a further look into this?
https://themenectar.ticksy.com – just let me know your ticket ID once you’ve done so3. Have you tried clearing your cache yet since updating? I checked a few of the posts but haven’t been able to replicate that yet https://ibb.co/i8YWXz
Cheers
Hi,
Thanks for the response. A few things…
1. So you were totally correct about the “clearing cache” solution lol. Everything looks great now, thanks 
2. All that’s left is the pesky “HTTP Error” problem. I just did as you instructed as created the following Ticket #1697198. Hope to hear from you soon!
Thanks again for all your great help
Sincerely, Sina Rad
Glad to hear sinarad, i’ll take a look at your ticket in regards
Cheers
Hi,
I’m using a video bg in my homepage (header).
Could you tell me how disable it on mobile please?
Hey webDes13,
Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
.using-mobile-browser .nectar-video-wrap, .using-mobile-browser .swiper-slide .video-wrap { display: none; }
Cheers
thanks!
You’re welcome webDes13
Is it still not possible to play video backgrounds on mobile?
Hey boelmikael, Salient 9 added video support to mobile for self hosted video BGs in rows, page headers & nectar sliders. http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html
Great! But does this mean that the video can’t be uploaded in Wordpress Media? Should it just be on the FTP somewhere else?
Hey boelmikael, you can upload it through your WP admin into the media section – however if your server has too low of a default value for the PHP setting “upload_max_filesize”/”post_max_size” you’d need to increase it if your video is larger. You can also enter in the URL of an mp4/webm from an external URL if you have them hosted elsewhere
I have set it up now, but it doesn’t seem to play on mobile. Do you have to switch it on somehow? This is a Nectar Slider with a video background. Link: http://denmark-lawyer.com/
Hey boelmikael,
I just tested on a couple devices and am seeing the video playing (iPhone X/ GS8) what device are you currently using?
Cheers
I have tried using iPhone X and iPhone 8 in both Safari and Chrome. I just see a black screen. Very strange. Is there something I can try to solve the issue?
Hey boelmikael, are you also not able to see the videos playing on the demo? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce-creative
Ah, now it works. I don’t know what happened before. However, I have a site where it still doesn’t work, but on this site, I can’t install and activate the Salient WPBakery Page Builder plugin for some reason. The site crashes every time I try. Is this plugin necessary for video backgrounds to play on mobile? Right now, the Nectar Slider is added as a shortcode. Link: http://anwaltdaenemark.de/test/
Hey boelmikael,
Video backgrounds can still function in the Nectar Slider without using the page builder, however you won’t have access to video BG options for rows without it. Is there any specific error that’s being reported to you when activating it that you can list here?
Cheers
Hey, it seems to work now. Thank you so much for the help. It does load a bit slow on mobile – is this perhaps due to the video size? The current video size is 15mb – should I go lower? Link: http://denmark-lawyer.com/
Hey boelmikael, what have you used to compress the video? The larger the file, the more time to buffer – getting a video BG under 5M would be ideal
I compress with Premiere Pro. I’ll try to get it down to 5mb. I also have a Nectar Slider with a video background, placed in a row. Is it possible for this to also play on mobile? Currently it doesn’t. Link: https://mikaelboel.com/ (right box).
Hey boelmikael,
Could you let me know what device you’re checking that on? I’m able to see the video autoplaying when navigating to that URL on an iPhone x
Cheers

My question is….. Why in this update does left:0 is not all the way to the left but I have to make a negative left css? Seems the repeat-x isnt working to well either if im not mistaken?
ugh, seems like this didnt work, the main issue is the left css: the above css works fine on desktop but creates a gap on laptop screens. Really need help with this, In VC, it does contain “Full width background” for the row, so quite confused what changed.
It seems like this is culprate:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px)
.container
padding: 0px 90px;
}
However I cannot change the container padding else everything to pushed to the side, is there a way of making the section divider full width?
Hey MatthewMurdoch, the new way you can accomplish that would be to use these values for positioning
body.home .main-content > .row > div.service:after {
left: 50%;
width: 100vw;
margin-left: -50vw;
}
You sir are a champ
You’re very welcome
the background video plays in chrome and firefox but not safari on laptop, iPad or iPhone. any suggestions?
Hey brianfreeman,
Have you included a mp4 file type for your video as well as the webm version? If so, please share your URL in regards so I can take a look. Also note that only Salient v9 allows autoplaying of videos on mobile devices, in earlier versions it’s disabled
Cheers
hostelhopper.net i’ve included both versions of video. i did update to v9 but had to downgrade because it wouldn’t let me into admin
no wait i take the back. I’m back on v9 but still having issues.
Hey brianfreeman, are you still unable to access the admin panel? It looks like you’re using the beta version of 9.0 rather than the actual release as well
im in the access panel but still having issues with the video
Could you kindly open a ticket in regards via the support forum with your admin credentials so we can take a further look into this?

Hi
Could you implement the option to duplicate post in the portfolio?
This plugin is not working with portfolios post types.
https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/duplicate-post/Help!
Hey ofmarconi,
I’ve noted the idea for the wishlist – however there’s no built in way to clone a project as of now
Cheers
Ok, this would be very useful for the client not to “get lost” in the project settings
Can you control the size (height and width of the team member display?) The part they click on to see the full view?
Hey Mbx, there’s four team member styles, http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/team-member/ the first shown on that page cuts the images into a square by default, the second two use CSS to set the size and the last just outputs the direct image so it will show whatever size you use
great update!! Keep up the good work on my favorite theme!
Thanks a lot SiteTonight, glad you’re enjoying it
What is the proper way to have a full screen background video loop. Right now I uploaded an mp4 in a full height row and it looks like this:
http://www.tenthunder.com/home-practice/So not full screen and seems to only play for me when I am logged into my dashboard and wordpress account. Am I missing something? What is the best way to get this part of the page full screen – as seen in the above example page provided? Thanks you guys are the best!
Hey pvictor4, verify that you have the option selected to mute your video background as that is now required by modern browsers in order to enable autoplaying. Secondaly, you must upload your video in a 16:9 aspect ratio in order to have the height calcs correctly established for your background video.
Cheers
Hi guys,
I keep having Memory Leak issues with https://www.secant-software.com/ running Salient. If you view the site and open Task Manager the memory footprint of this website continually increases chewing through more and more memory…
Any ideas on how best to resolve this?
KR Sam
Hey Sam, please update your version of the theme to the current release – the version you’re using uses a demanding script in order to calculate the permanent transparent header effect that has since been removed/reworked
Cheers
Ok cool thanks guys!
You’re welcome sam_lee1985
nice update. one thing is irritating me. you added quick view for woocommerce. when i click “add to cart” i will be redirect to product detail page? So quick view makes no sense in my opinion…
Hey benzrecordings, thanks for the feedback – I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist to add support for an AJAX add to cart from that modal
Awesome update! You guys forgot to include the CSS for the custom select checkboxes.
Hey VFXcore,
Unfortnately the checkbox/radio styling had to be removed from the option you’re referring to as noted in the changelog http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.htmlCheers
After updating to v.9 SocialWarefare, one of the most popular social sharing plugins for wordpress is not working. It was working fine before the theme update.
When SocialWarefare is active, the blog pages where the plugin is in use, are all white. No content, blank page, all white.
When deactivating the plugins the content is back.
I have also contacted the plugin developer but I wanted you to know too incase you had to do troubleshooting on your side. Because like I said, it used to work fine with the previous version of Salient, v9 broke it.
Oh and by the way, I use SocialWarefare for more advanced social sharing and when I use it, I deactivate the Salient social options so there is no conflict. But that still does not help.
Thank you
Hey toolbox101,
So far after testing on my end I’ve been unable to replicate that - is there anyway you could provide a testing URL to show the issue so I can copy the theme settings?
Cheers
I’m thrilled with the new update! Are you planning on creating demos for the new templates? Or at least add some kind of sticker/tag to the template gallery in Salient Studio to distinguish them from the old templates?
Glad to hear bephuong!
We’ve considered adding a separate category for new items or potentially sorting options – however that currently isn’t available. Also, around half of the templates are in use on the new eCommerce demos
Cheers
Hello. We updated to 9 and our videos on mobile are now shifted to the left laving a blank space. The mobile gif now plays at the same time so you can see both videos on mobile. We have cleared cache and updated plugins and we are still getting the same result. Any suggestions? These websites just went live yesterday for clients and we need to fix this issue ASAP. Thank you for the great theme!
Hey nfrancis,
This is going to be fixed in the next minor release due out shortly – to sort it now, add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel
body .full-width-section > .nectar-video-wrap {
left: 50%!important;
}
Cheers
Thanks. We solved it with using full width content instead of background also. Appreciate the reply!
You’re welcome nfrancis
When are you to add a native PWA features?
Hey kalvner, i’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist
Tks!
You’re welcome kalvner
Hi,
It seems the website https://simpl.no takes much longer to load in Safari than Chrome. I’m having difficulties especially loading the homepage. The logo is more delayed than in Chrome for instance.
What could be the culprit?
Hey bephuong,
Can you please open a ticket in regards via the support forum so we can take a closer look into the setup? https://themenectar.ticksy.com/Cheers
Have to sadly admit that my support has recently expired. I did test the speed of the website thoroughly, but never thought it would be such a massive difference in Safari.
Hey bephuong, could you temporarily disable the autooptimize plugin so I can take a look at all the scripts loading closer?
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I think I solved it by changing a setting in Autoptimize – it was making references to font files which returned a 404 error and therefore delayed the loading the rest of the site. Just funny how it wasn’t noticeable in Chrome.
