Hi guys, I am a more-than-happy Salient user and just would like to know if you have plans to implement stuff on the theme to comply with The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This is an issue that clients are asking over and over again and we as designers have the task to deal with it. I do not want to compare but the folks at Enfold theme seem to have done a great job on that matter adding specific functionalities and making changes for this GDPR thing. Do you plan anything like that in the short-term? Thanks a lot and keep up the great job!
Hey juandoscuartos, Salient itself doesn’t collect data however I understand your desire to have a built in option to handle third party scripts – it’s still an item on the wishlist, but for now you could use a plugin such https://wordpress.org/plugins/gdpr-cookie-compliance/ as in regards
Thanks for the info! It would be great to have this implemented ASAP since as far as I see there are way a lot of Salient users who just need such stuff. Thanks!
You’re welcome juandoscuartos 
Hi i liked your theme and this demo: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-agency/ i have some presales questions: 1. the load time is very slow and sometimes i have to reload the demo multiple times to work. is this something that can be fixed? 2. Are there more transitions when you scroll down? (something simpler) 3. when i tried to scroll up when i am in the middle of the page i cannot see the video. it doesnt scroll to the top with the mouse buttons. only with the mouse scroll wheel. 4. Can the menu of this demo changed? i want to have the logo in the middle, a phone number on the left and on the right where the menu is to add also the word “MENU”

Hey potys,
1. Are you still seeing that slow loading occurring? I currently can’t replicate it on my end
2. There’s a regular parallax scrolling option like so, or the option to disable any scroll down effect on the page header
3. That’s only the case when using the box roll effect, other effects do not change the default scrolling behavior
4. You can change the menu where the logo is centered http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-restaurant/ however, there’s no theme option to have the off canvas menu say the word “Menu” next to it
Cheers
Thank you for your answer. For the 1 i think is due to the video loading speed. for 2-3 we are ok. on point 4 can i have the menu like the demo http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-agency/ which is no the right and in the center the logo? also on the left can i add something else like phone number?
thank you!
Hey potys,
If you used the “Centered Menu Bottom Bar” header layout in the Salient options panel > header navigation > layout related tab, you could achieve this. When using that layout, you can assign a custom menu which would contain your phone number link into the “Top navigation menu pull left” location
Hi there. Testimonial minimal slider how do I hide the numbered bottom navigation? On 2 of my sites, it looks all wonky and overlaps my text.
Hey haistk,
Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
body .testimonial_slider[data-style="minimal"] .controls { display: none; }
Cheers
Does salient theme come with a theme builder?
Hey francisny,
Yes, Salient comes with a tailored version of the WPBakery page builder plugin
Cheers
Hello guys, I’ve been using Salient from day one and never had a issue. From version 9, however, full width section shortcodes result in some padding issues. You can see a live example here (http://design.thenewsletterplugin.com/). I know my support is expired, but I hope you can give a brief look into this. Thank you so much and kudos for the greatest Themeforest theme out there.
Hey michaeltravan 
Could you kindly allow me to bypass the htaccess username/password so I can take a look?
Cheers
Yeah, sorry, I always forget to deactivate htaccess basic auth
Anyway, I just figured it out by myself. Just for you to know: I always used Salient without the page builder, cause the shortcodes and some custom coding were all I needed, so I never installed it. Everything worked flawlessly. Since version 9, however, the only way to get paddings and other minor styling right, is to have the builder active even if I don’t use it. Not a big issue, but I’d prefer to have it inactive to save up some resources.
Thanks again, cheers
Hey michaeltravan,
Thanks for letting me know, that’s very useful information 
Cheers
Hi, can you have a look at my websites and tell me what is slowing down the page loading speed? I tried to solve the problem with W3 cache or BWP Minify but it didn’t go as well. Currently I have BWP minify activated.
https://uk.inbody.com https://nl.inbody.comBecause of this problem my pages cannot be crawled.. 
Hey InBodyEU,
The main thing I’m seeing is that images are not currently getting cached: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/uk.inbody.com/7CvkdMRo – can you go through your “browser cache” tab within W3 Total cache and verify that you have the boxes checked in the “Media & Other Files” metabox as shown in the docs here? http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/performance-optimization-guide/#caching
Cheers
I’m using woo bundled products extension which has a layout option to display any bundled product items in a list underneath the bundled product summary using the full page width.
Since switching to Salient theme, my bundled products are showing up inside and to right of the product summary. Has anyone else run into this and found a resolution?
https://www.staysupply.com/shop/room/kitchen/household-essentialsHey bcarp121177,
thanks for letting me know – I just added the fix for that into the current beta release. If you’d like a copy before the next official release, please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Cheers
Thanks, for getting on that so quick. I sent a request through from the author page as you requested.
Thanks bcarp121177 
Hi there, for some reason the secondary navigation has disappeared as default on MOBILE devices since the new update??? Any ideas on how to bring this back? Cheers
Hey solveweb,
Are you using the material theme skin available in the general settings tab of the options panel? In that skin, the menu items are now added directly into the mobile menu
Cheers
Footer Hi there, is it possible to have less space inbetween the fotter eidgets srea and the copyright area? At the moment theres a bit to much space between the two rows? thanks
Hey alisonleon,
Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
#footer-widgets > .container > .row { padding-bottom: 0; }
Cheers
Hello, I’ve just updated to the latest salient version and the “proceed to checkout” button isn’t appearing on the cart! How do I fix that?
Hey jinalshah,
Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look to assist
Thanks in advance
Hello! Sure, it’s https://www.thequintessentia.com/shop
Once you add a few items to the cart and then proceed to the view basket page, and select a collection / shipping address – the option of “proceed to checkout” does not appear..
PS: for now, as an override I’ve added the “Proceed to Checkout” button manually at the top of the page.
Hey jinalshah,
Can you also ensure that your WooCommerce plugin is up to date? If so, please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page with a temporary admin login so I can see what’s causing this for you https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Hey guys, ive got an issue. When i creating standart wordpress gallery images doesnt open in lightbox they just opens in the same window. What should i do?
Hey esqu1red,
Can you verify that you have the option enabled for “Auto Lightbox Image Links” in the Salient options panel > general settings > functionality tab?
Cheers
Hey there. I am still having issues with my site – I just loaded the newest version, and once again things are off with my colors, layout, font, etc. The site address is https://tailoftwocreatives.com Some of the errors include the font in the top menu, the padding of the main menu/logo, the button colors (everything reverted back to a green color when it’s really blue and pink), under What We Do and the bottom CTA you can see everything is pushed to the left.
My Cloudflare was and has been disabled for well over a month.
Also when I try to make any changes to my home page, I still get these errors – which no one was able to give me a conclusion for previously:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home2/darnrobe/public_html/tailoftwocreatives/wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php:4230) in /home2/darnrobe/public_html/tailoftwocreatives/wp-admin/post.php on line 198

Hey skucenski, 1. I currently can’t see that happening when viewing the URL from my end: https://ibb.co/kP2ymz – are you still seeing it occur? I also checked the stylesheets being loaded in the browser to verify that 9.0.1 is being used rather than an older version. 2. Could you either open a ticket in regards via the support forum or reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page with a temporary admin login so I can take a look to assist? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks in advance
Experiencing extremely slow load times on Portfolio items and the Portfolio tab in the wp-admin backend.
Posts & Pages are loading perfectly fine but when accessing any Portfolio Items, things grind to a halt. I thought it may be caused by the WpBakery Editor but the Posts & Pages use a lot of elements and they work fine.
To cut it short: Portfolio Items & Portfolio Backend are extremely slow. Sometimes 20-30 second load times. Rest of site is fine.
Long time users of Salient, first major issue I’ve experienced.
Any advice would be appreciated!

hi, how do I have a differnt styling for the text in the footer widgets? Its taking the same body font size from my settings but i need to tyle this differently? Thanks
Hey alisonleon,
body #footer-outer #footer-widgets .col p {
font-family: Roboto;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 14px;
font-weight: 300;
}
How do I remove the color on the dropdown menu that sits behind the text.. Its currently using my accent colour like a highliter block. I wan tthis to be transparent, only thr text to change colour? http://atmotion.cloudaccess.host
Hey alisonleon,
Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
body[data-dropdown-style="minimal"] #header-outer:not([data-format="left-header"]) header#top nav > ul > li:not(.megamenu) ul a:hover {
background-color: transparent!important;
}

Hi I have a few video questions:
1. I am using the Video Background with a YouTube link for my homepage here http://atmotion.cloudaccess.host/home-new/ (using this video as test). How come the video shows on my desktop, but not on my mobile phone? How do I get it to show on both?
2. Re point 1, Ideally I would prefer to use a VIMEO as a background video on my website, not YouTube. On your backend row options, I only seem to have an option to have YouTube (or to upload videos whoch slows down website)... I really need to use Vimeo, how come there isnt an option for this and s there code to have thid as an option?
3. As a secondary idea I tried using your vimeo element in the VC backend, but even when I select full screen its has white areas above and below the video and doesnt fit the whole screen which doesnt look good at all, how can I make the fit the whole screen? http://atmotion.cloudaccess.host/home-vimeo/4. I really dont wan to use an MP4 because I fnd it slows down my website so much when it loads…. is there a work aroud for any of the above or can you advise how to fix this or what you can advise?
Ideally I just need Vimeo as a full screen (fitting the whole screen) to work on both desktop and responsive.
Thanks
Hey alisonleon,
1. Youtube video BGs are not supported to autoplay on mobile devices, only self hosted (mp4, webm) are capable of doing that
2. The Youtube video BG feature is not something specific to Salient, it’s offered by default in WPBakery page builder and currently there is no Vimeo option
3. There’s no way to scale a vimeo video to function like a BG without custom javascript. The salient video lightbox offers the ability to use Vimeo sources, so you could link to
your video from that http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/video-lightbox/
4. There should not be any significant slowing down from using a self hosted video – video BGs start to play as soon as they can (within a first couple hundred KB) and continue to load
as they play
Hello! I know that my support licence has expired. But I never asked for any major help and been using this theme for a long time, everything was smooth. But couple days ago admin panel stopped working. Tried different browsers. I don’t see page builder anymore and whole visual part appears as a code. Salient panel in WP admin looks broken too. Here are some print screens: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ugkqa95jqbawu9b/Screen%20Shot%202018-10-02%20at%2009.17.51.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/1h8m9qfdnbz7s3a/Screen%20Shot%202018-10-02%20at%2009.20.24.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/wxy7imaplmxmz4y/Screen%20Shot%202018-10-02%20at%2009.21.12.png?dl=0

I need to import ECOCOMERCE ULTIMATE, but is impossible, when you clic always is WAIT
Hey ineclectico, please see my response to your last comment in regards
I cant Import!
is impossible import, can you help me. Always is thinking
Hey ineclectico,
Your server PHP setting for “max_execution_time” likely needs to be increased. The new eCommerce demos contain a lot of images, and it if that setting is anything less than 100 seconds, it’s possible that it could timeout. Also, can you verify that your PHP memory_limit is set to 128MB or greater?
Cheers
Hey just a question, how does the theme pick the blogs that show up in the “recommended for you” section?
Hey stephenjohnbryde,
The related posts section are based on other posts that share the same category
