Hello!
1) How can I make my chosen icon show up on a button before hovering?
I want it to show the plate icon and ‘Catering’ before hover and during hover.
[nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”iconsmind” url=”/Catering/” text=”Catering” icon_iconsmind=”iconsmind-Plates”]
2) How can I add iconsmind icons to the navigation menu? I know for font awesome, I just add some css in the menu’s CSS classes. It doesn’t seem to work for iconsmind.
Thanks so much!
Hey michellecmurphy17,
1. That’s how the “Material” skin handles icons in buttons – you can switch to that to check it out in the Salient options panel > general settings tab
2. You would need to also enqueue the iconsmind stylesheet in a child theme functions.php as it’s normally not loaded unless an icon element is found on the page that’s using it
function nectar_child_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'iconsmind' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'nectar_child_styles' );
Cheers
Hello. I have built a page using the Salient theme. On the main home page, I have a nectar slider with “dark” slide font color, which renders the menu text color in the transparent header dark (suitable for the picture I am using). On a mobile device, the header is not transparent… the name of the page is in dark text on white background next to the hamburger menu. That’s how it should be. However…
On a subpage, I use a different nectar slider for which I set the slide font color to “light”, making the navigation text white (light) in a transparent header as this works better for the picture used for the nectar slider. However, if I open this subpage on a mobile phone, the name of the website is not visible next to the hamburger menu, because the text is white on white background. How do I make the page name visible (by displaying it in dark text on white background next to the hamburger) on mobile, even though I want to keep the text white (transparent menu) over the nectar slider on desktop. Thanks.
I assume it has to do with me using “Header Color Scheme” ‘light’ and “Header Starting Text Color” ‘white’. However, if I change “Header Starting Text Color” to grey, it will change all my menus to grey, even for nectar sliders where a grey text would not be readable on top of the picture chosen.
I assume what I want to have is “Header Starting Text Color” set to dark grey only for mobile devices, so that the name of the page would be visible next to the hamburger on mobile. Many thanks again.
Hey m1ch4L,
Can you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look to help out?
Thanks in advance
Dear ThemeNectar,
one of the pages where this happens is e.g.: http://www.musubikan.at/aikido/
On a mobile device, the page name “Musubikan Aikido Dojo” in the top left corner is white on white background and therefore not visible. On desktop it’s fine.
Other pages that use a nectar slider with slide font color set to “dark” are fine as well (e.g.: http://www.musubikan.at)
Many thanks
Hey m1ch4L,
Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
body #header-outer[data-permanent-transparent="false"] header#top #logo.no-image {
color: #444!important;
}
Cheers
Many thanks. Worked like a charm 
(I also added ”@media only screen and (max-width : 1000px) { }” to make it apply only to mobile screens. Works great.)
Thank you again. Very much appreciated!
You’re very welcome m1ch4L
hiya, how do I upgrade to a newer version of salient within the wordpress backend without disrupting the site or losing any data? thanks
Hey dmikeabx2,
As long as you have not modified any of the core theme files, you can use any of the available methods described in the docs for upgrading http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/

Hello,
I want to change logo when the menu is in sticky in order to put another logo (more elongated and smaller). However, I can not find how to modify this element on your theme. I also want that the logo be to the left of the menu in sticky and not above, as for my main menu. Can you help me please ?
Thanks !
Hey charlotte-da-mota,
If you’re trying to replicate a header logo setup similar to this demo, use the “Centered Menu Bottom Bar” layout in the Salient options panel > header navigation > layout related tab. When you have that layout active, you can supply a secondary alternate logo via the “Mobile Only Logo Upload” in the Header navigation > logo & general styling tab
Cheers
Ok, thank you for your help !
You’re welcome charlotte-da-mota
hi! how can i addd a sticky row for showing a button on mobile saying call us now? like in this example on mobile https://www.visamserviciotecnico.com/
thanks!
Hey dimage,
That would require modding to the header.php file at this time as there’s no option for custom buttons to appear in the header only on mobile.
Cheers
but simple putting a row with a button to be sticky?
Hey dimage,
You could set a row to be sticky with CSS – could you share your URL in regards where you have a button you wish to do that to?
Cheers

I’m having issues with the newest update with the demo importer. The image thumbnails for the demo page aren’t showing up and I am unable to click the “import” button for a demo.
Hey nicksoriano,
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.comhow do you change the font style for the split line heading?
Hey brianfreeman,
The split line heading element will inherit the typography settings from the Salient options panel > typography > general HTML elements tab depending on what you use within the element – e.g. h2,h3,h4 etc https://ibb.co/gVEnkq

Hi – I am using a button menu item in the navigation.
It’s a ONE PAGE website and I am using anchors to link sections from the main menu
My issue is that once the button links to the anchor section the text in the button changes color (like the rest of the menu items) and it clashes with the button color.
Is there a way to just change the active text color of the button and not change the rest of the menu?
Thanks!!!
Hey brianlichty!
Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can assist?
Thanks in advance
yes… https://www.tradepactfailspatients.org/ note the red button in the navigation—the text turns blue when it hits the page anchor. trying to either just change the button color or keep the text white as it is.
thanks, you guys have been great. I realize my support is expired, but whatever you can do, thanks!!!
Thanks brianlichty,
Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
body #header-outer:not([data-lhe="animated_underline"]) header#top nav .sf-menu > li.current-menu-item.button_solid_color_2 > a {
color: #fff!important;
}
Cheers
thanks!!
You’re welcome brianlichty
Hello, I need to insert the same options of the Header I’ve got in the post section for all my custom post type, I’ve modified the file nectar/metabox/page-meta.php but nothing happens…
Is there another way to do it? Someone else can help me?
Hey innobrain,
I would need to actually take a look at your modifications/cpt to assist. Do you have any open tickets in regards yet?
Cheers
Hello, I’m working with some Custom Post Types and I can’t figure out who to insert the same meta options I see in the meta of the articles for my Custom Post Types.
In some comments on themeforest I’ve found this solution but it doesn’t work:
You’ll need to open the file nectar/meta/page-meta.php and modify this:
‘post_type’ => ‘page’, This is the code I used to modify that part:
$meta_box = array( ‘id’ => ‘nectar-metabox-page-header’, ‘title’ => __(‘Post Header Settings’, ‘salient’), ‘description’ => __(‘Here you can configure how your page header will appear. ’, ‘salient’), ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘video_archivio’, ‘evento’
Tha last row is there I’ve inserted my custom post types.
I’m using a child theme and I replicated the exactly folders and files of the original theme but nothing appear in the backend of my Custom Post Types.
Hey innobrain,
You would need to make the modification to the parent theme file as it doesn’t check for a child theme override currently
Hi TN,
How to add Google Map API Key for Salient 6.1.65 Version?
Hey midazorion, there is not field in that version since Google had not made the API key necessary yet at that time. Please update your version of Salient to get access to that + new map options
Hi there,
There is a serious bug with the restaurant menu. When I try to create a new menu tab, it duplicates the previous one instead and each change I make to it implements globally to all. Why is that?
Hey BlueScreenPanda, can you please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page with temporary admin access so I can take a look at the backend of your page closer? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Hi there
I’m wondering if there is a way to remove the /blog structure from my permalinks? I want the blog to be /blog and category to be /category/category-name but a post to be /post-name not /blog/category/post-name
Hey thegoverseas,
This isn’t related directly to Salient, however when using the default permalink option for “Post name”, that should already be the case. What is your structure set to?
Cheers
Hi, i need am menu like themeforest menu… it has the main menu… Web Themes & Templates – Code – Video – Audio – Graphics – Photos – 3D Files
and Web Themes & Templates has a submenu All items – Wordpress – Simple Site Builder etc
Can i do that with your theme? There is a another way to do this. There is no theme or plugin can do that and i think its really handy for many categories.
Thanks
Hey xrisxal2000,
Salient can have submenues on any menu item, but not with a horizontal submenu 2nd layer like Themeforest

Hello. The theme looks and feels amazing. Yet the page builder bundled with this (WPBakery) has the WORST UX/UI, and is a complete shortcode HELL. I certainly hope that this plugin gets phased out.
Why not make it compatible with Elementor?
and how does one access the frontend feature of WPBakery – it does not seem to be available? I’ve noticed Visual Composer can’t be used either because of the silly shortcodes.
Hey sys0s,
The frontend editor in WPBakery will be available shortly in the beta version of the theme. If you’d like access before the official release,
please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Cheers
Hey ThemeNecter, thanks for the response. I hope you’d consider Elementor.
FYI email sent!
Cheers
Thanks sys0s
Thanks mate – still waiting on email for beta front-end editor?
Hey sys0s, we’ll be sending out a round of beta versions this weekend
Hi! I am trying to edit the sidebar of a project page but I just can’t find where should I do this. Is there supposed to be a widget area for it?
Hey petma!
The sidebar for each project page is populated by the main content editor box on the project edit page https://ibb.co/maPAkq
Cheers
Hi, Im using pagebuilder but there is no section like this on my project.
Never mind, I got it now, thank you! Is there a way to display it on the left instead of the right?
Hey petma,
Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
.single-portfolio #sidebar {
float: left;
}
.single-portfolio .post-area {
float: right;
padding-right: 0!important;
padding-left: 40px;
}
Cheers
Hi! It works but for some reason my sidebar is placed on the bottom of the page. I would like to put some widgets on it so i just copied the code generated by the page builder to the sidebar area. Is there a better way to do this?
That’s what I see
Hey petma,
Could you share the actual page URL so I can take a look at it?
Cheers
hi, when i import one of the new demos, are there supposed to be pages imported like on your demo website? I am importing ecommerce creative, and I am only getting the home page (and woocommerce products) but no other pages.
Am I supposed to be getting all the other pages? or is this just shown in the demo for demo purposes? I have tried importing many times, on fresh clean of wordpress and even on wordpress running on a different server, and always i get the same result with just the home page and woocommerce products being imported.
I forgot to mention, in all of these import attempts, it freezes at 26%
These are the pages that import for me:
About Cart Checkout Contact eCommerce Ultimate Home Page My account News Privacy Policy Sample Page Shop Shop Feature Highlights
Hey b167er,
The only other page which you should be getting for the eCommerce creative demo is the contact page: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce-creative/contact/ – the eCommerce creative demo doesn’t have any other pages other than the pages generated by WooCommerce itself.
In your more recent comments you’re referring to the eCommerce ultimate demo, which should come with all the other pages shown e.g. “About”, “News” etc.
The XML files are also already included in the theme. Their location is: salient/nectar/reduc-framework/extensions/ebc_importer/demo/data
Cheers
Hi, eCommerce Creative was a typo, I meant eCommerce Ultimate from the beginning. That is the one I am using. So Ultimate as well doesn’t come with all the pages, just the eCommerce+contact+news+about pages, is that right?
I’ll try importing the XML and see if all the other pages shown in the demo come up
Edit: Oh I see what you mean, it imports the same thing as the demo importer in the salient menu, but anyway good to know I can do an offline import like this from now on, for future reference. I guess in the end I just wasted my time thinking all those pages were supposed to be imported too heh, it would be good if you included them in the demo too just like they are in the live preview of the website
Hey b167er, from your list above of pages that got imported:
About Cart Checkout Contact eCommerce Ultimate Home Page My account News Privacy Policy Sample Page Shop Shop Feature HighlightsIt sounds like you have them all. Take a look at this screenshot for further explanation: https://ibb.co/n5UA3A – the pages highlighted in red are URL destinations that WooCommerce will automatically create for you. For example, the category links on your site can be accessed by adding product-category/your-category-slug onto your base URL. The links circled in blue are all anchor links leading to different areas on the same page, which is imported as Shop Feature Highlights.
Ohhhhh, ok I get it now. Hey I’m having another issue, when I add my featured image for my product, the product image on the live page is blurry/out of focus, and when I click to zoom in, then it becomes crystal clear. The res on the pictures i’m using is 1500×1500 and it’s a very high quality image, so i don’t know why it is being blurred on the website until i manually click to zoom. Any ideas?
All good, I went back a page and saw you answered someone with the same question – I set the image width to a higher amount and the pictures are now clear. thanks
Hey b167er,
Glad you got it sorted
Cheers
Hello,
Love this template! But going nuts! I can’t seem to get things centered… they’re off (the submit button with the footer)... https://eugenelee.ca/contact/
Please help! hahaha Thanks!
Also, is there any way for the images to be cropped instead of stretched in the portfolio? It seems to work when the section is a square but if it’s tall or wide, it stretches the images 
Still having issues with the centering of the contacts page BUT figured out the thumbnail issue simply by reading the instructions (sorry). Please help with centering though! https://eugenelee.ca/contact THANKS!
Hey eugenelee223
1. Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
div.wpcf7 .ajax-loader:not(.is-active) { display: none; }
2. Make sure you’re uploading images at the minimum required size for each masonry size. e.g. 1000px1000px for the “wide&tall” size. You can find a full list of the minimum sizes required in the Salient options panel > portfolio tab > styling tab at the “Masonry Grid Sizing” field.
Cheers
Awesome it worked like a charm!!
Hey eugenelee223, glad to hear
