Hi guys,
We use the salient theme for one of our websites. I just updated salient and Wordpress to the latest version, but I still have a problem with the portfolio pagination.
I can only get the pagination to work when I set the permalink structure to default, but I really need to use the ‘postname’ permalink setting.
When I use ‘infinite scroll’ I get duplicate portfolio items and when I use the default setting the next button does nothing.
Is this a known issue and is there a quickfix?
Thanks in advance!
Hey visibleinternet,
These are currently not confirmed issues with the portfolio – 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.comHi,
I have a problem with my shop page… The pictures of the thumbnails of my products (the preview before going on the product page) are very pixelated while the quality and size of the image that I imported on the site is good. On the product page the quality of the photo is also average, but the other photos of the gallery are correct. Do you know what is the problem? Is there a particular setting to make? If yes, where? I could not find…
Thank you !
Hey charlotte-da-mota,
You probably need to set your image size larger in the WooCommerce > Customizer settings: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/fixing-blurry-product-images/
Cheers
It’s ok, I found it! Thanks a lot for your help!
You’re welcome charlotte-da-mota 
Hey.. When using Salient theme on mobile devices and/or when a browser window is adjusted to small, a white line appears on top of the screen and the logo moves to this position. Can this be deactivated or somehow disabled? Please say yes..
Another short thing, I can’t seem to disable the small rounded dot (some vertical navigation) just above the arrow in my Nectar sliders. Where is this option?
Webpage is: www.dmdi.dk
Hopefully someone can help.Thanks..
Hey dmdi,
In the Salient options panel > header navigation > transparency tab, make sure you have the option enabled for “permanent transparent header”. Then in your pages, you would need to turn off the “Fullscreen rows” option in the page full screen rows metabox. When that option is in the use, there’s no option for a mobile transparent header.
If you’re only using one row and need that to be fullscreen, simply use the option directly inside of each row in the page builder for “full height row”
Cheers
Hey .. thanks for answering. It doesn’t help me with the white border on iOS though. When opening the page on iOS, the top white border is constant and I cant get it to do fullscreen – both top and button “Safari” bars are constant. I would highly appreciate help to solve this. Thanks in advance..
Hey dmdi, on pages that are not using the “page full screen rows” option the header remains transparent without any BG color: https://ibb.co/w6tjxDs -it appears on your home page you’re still using that option (page full screen rows) so the header will not be transparent
I have no idea how you got that Screendump to look like that. When I load it on an iOS device, I have a white border on top – both vertical and horizontal. What you are suggesting in your initial post, will turn the pages into several pages and mess everything up. If the border was black, I could perhaps live with it. You wouldn’t be able to direct me to some tutorial or something? I find it hard to make sense of it.
Update: I must confess, I have no idea what I’m doing. Whatever change I make doesn’t seem to have the effect I’m looking for and it differs from page to page somehow. So just to clarify. Here’s what I would like to achieve: Full page content on all pages. No scrolling. All centered. No header – except for the logo, which directs back to the frontpage.
Is this do-able? If so, how…?
Hey dmdi,
1. Please see the attached image in regards to changing the pages to still have the fullscreen effect, but allow the transparent on mobile: https://ibb.co/ZgYw3TG
2. Have you purchased Salient under a different user account? I’m not seeing any license attached to this one
Cheers
Thanks.. I’ll give it a try. Until then, please email me, so I can respond there with the purchase info there.
I’ve done what your pic said and unfortunately it’s not working. Front page is not fullscreen and has scroll activated. The others pages seem fine, but if I scroll the logo/return to mainpage option disappear, hence scroll is activated as well. Border is gone on iOS though, but I still have the “addressmenu-bar” on top of the screen and a somewhat strange scale of background picture on the main-page.
Hey dmdi, please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Hi Salient Team.
I have two questions:
1. Is it possible to create vertical dividers for columns? I know how to create horizontal dividers, but is there someway to create vertical dividers?
2. I am using the new User Account Button in my header (Layout: Centered Menu) and I would like the button to open its link in a new tab. Where can I add the: target=”_blank” code?
Thank you!
Hey cwayneboss,
1. Right now this would require some custom css. I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist though 
2. See the “nectar_header_button_items” function in regards in the functions.php file
Cheers
Hey guys,
Thank’s for a really awesome work!
I use Salient Agency, but experience some issues with it:
(1) How do I make the header transparent also for subpages desktop and mobile? It looks transparent on desktop but not mobile for instance here: www.nyskaparna.se/ideella/
(2) I experience that the text often breaks pretty ugly (especially headings) depending on desktop or mobile. See the reference URL from (1).
(3) With the same reference URL in mind, on mobile device the slider image gets badly cropped. How to center the motive in the image on mobile device, but not desktop, for a much more aesthetic look?
(4) How can I replace dates for portfolio items in the masonry (www.nyskaparna.se) with text? (Still want dates for sorting the masonry etcetera, so there must be an easy fix for this one.)
(5) How can I change so that the “Social buttons” portfolio items in the masonry links to all the different social media pages (Facebook, Twitter etcetera) instead of having a share function?
(6) In my off canvas menu, where All Rights Reserved was before, I have my copyright but for year 2015. How do I make year dynamic/where do I change it? (Doesn’t seem to be in the Salient theme settings.)
(7) On mobile device my copyright in the footer breaks apart in two rows. How to change so it is just in one row (for both desktop and mobile device, not just desktop as it currently is)?
Just rated you guys 5/5 for an excellent work! Keep it up. 
With regards, Mr. Cross
Hey crosslateral!
1. When using the page full screen rows option there’s currently no option to make the header transparent on mobile. You would need to disable that option to take advantage of the “Header Permanent Transparent” option in the Salient options panel > header navigation > transparent header effect tab
2. When using the split line heading element, the line breaks you specify will be there on every viewport at the same location. Therefore you would need to reduce the size of your heading tag further in the Salient options panel > typography > responsive settings tab for the viewports that it’s splitting oddly
3. I’m not seeing a slider on the page http://www.nyskaparna.se/ideella/ are you referring to the BG image on the row with the text Idéburen verksamhet?
4. You can use the “Project except” field in each of your projects to specify custom text to display instead of the default date https://ibb.co/y49qPZZ
5. You would need to remove the social shortcode that’s currently there and use the icon shortcode instead https://ibb.co/FXP0wnr which would need to be wrapped in an html anchor tag
6. That field is located in the Salient options panel > header navigation > off canvas navigation tab
7. Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
.mobile #footer-outer .col {
width: auto!important;
}
.mobile #footer-outer .col.span_7 { float: right; }
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar team!
1. Thank you! 2. Most beautiful was to leave the Custom Responsive Headings off. However, in any case on or off, the space between rows differs, making the heading look cramped where there are for instance h2. This doesn’t seem to be the case for h1 on the following reference page: www.nyskaparna.se/foretag. How to make fix this for h2 recursively throughout the site? 3. I am referring to the BG image (but it is actually in the Nectar Slider option). How to center the motive in the image or position in more freely depending on where the motive on the BG image is? 4. Thank’s! 5. OK, will try that and see how it works. 6. Thank’s! 7. This seem to work only for iPhone, but not on Samsung Galaxy 8. 8. The logo seems to switch properly on http://www.nyskaparna.se/foretag. But on mobile device, when scrolling down, it doesn’t change. How to fix this?
Cheers, Mr. Cross
Hey crosslateral!
2. 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: 690px) {
body .col h2, h2 {
font-size: 27px;
line-height: 32px;
}
}
3. CSS would be needed to move that image since it’s already set to center positon (the image itself is just off centered for the girl)
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
.page-id-6980 .swiper-slide[data-bg-alignment="center"] .image-bg {
background-position: -726px center;
}
}
7. It appears that no “Header Starting Dark Logo” was set in the Salient options panel > header navigation > transparent header effect tab – I assigned your dark logo and now it should work as expected on mobile
Cheers
Hi again!
2. Weird, it only seems to work on www.nyskaparna.se/foretag, but not on www.nyskaparna.se/ideella. Please have a look at these on mobile device for comparison. The first one looks as it should, but not the other (ideella). Also, how can we prevent so that if I create new pages, the same problem occur?
3. Thank you!
7. You missed this one it looks like: The copyright in the footer still breaks into two rows on Samsung Galaxy, but not iPhone.
8. Still the same problem with the logo on mobile phone (tried both Samsung Galaxy and iPhone).
Cheers
Hello?
With regards, Mr. Cross
Hey Mr. Cross, sorry about the delay – we’ve been hard at work with the latest update
2. It looks like a slight adjustment was needed to the snippet font size – I made the change for you so it should be working as expected now 
7. Try checking again now
8. I just logged back in and could see that the starting dark logos were not set in the options panel, that I had previously set last time. We might have been editing the theme options at the same time and my changes were overridden.
It’s set again now and it should display as expected on mobile 
2. Thank you! It will work for all headings on all pages now right?
7. So weird, still not working on my Samsung Galaxy S8.
8. Thank you!
9. This one is new: I don’t seem to be able to do update to latest theme version and my editor is no longer visual (text or code for pages etcetera). Where did the visual editor go?
Wish you a very nice weekend!
Cross
Hey crosslateral,
7. Have you tried to clear your mobile browser cache? Checking on my end I’m seeing the dark logo display now when crossing sections that use it: https://ibb.co/QQhYWc0
9. Have you checked out the documentation in regards to updating? http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/ What method are you trying to use to update?
Cheers
Hey guys,
7. You are at the wrong bullet, this one is regarding the footer splitting up in two rows. It works on iPhone, but not on Samsung Galaxy S8 it seems. (Not about the logo.)
9. Solved! Thank you.
Cheers
Hey Mr. Cross,
when I check your site on mobile i’m seeing the footer bar stay on one line – the only text in there appears to be “© 2018 Nyskaparna.” can you provide a screenshot of what you’re seeing on your end?
Cheers
Sure! Here’s the screenshot (I have cleared browser cache) on my Samsung Galaxy S8. https://ibb.co/bj0S0s1
Cheers!
Mr. Cross
Thanks for the screenshot Mr. Cross, I just altered the CSS for this as well so it should no longer do that
Cheers
When you click on a blog post it is an empty page in Edge and Safari, it looks like a conflict with WooCommerce. Any fix for this?
Hey cruxcreative, since there’s currently no known issue like this, could you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
Thanks in advance

Hi Salient! Is possible to select different sidebars in Salient, for example on different Blog pages, or a different sidebar for specific posts? I can’t see a Sidebar Theme Option anywhere. Thanks very much.
Hey jaroljmek, there’s no built in functionality for that – but there are many free and light plugins that add that: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-page-sidebars/
Hi there,
I have purchased this theme in the past for a website I did for a client (It was GREAT by the way!) and am now interested in using it again.
I have a question before I go ahead and purchase a second license. Is it possible to make the Nectar Full Screen rows slide up/down without jumping to the next slide automatically? For an example of the “feel” I’d like see here: https://corenyc.com is that type of front row slide possible? If not, do you offer custom coding? Where can I go to get a price for custom work with this theme?Thanks!
Hey phaxgaming!
As of now that’s not possible. If you don’t want to override the default scrollbar, you could instead leave that option disabled and then manually set every row inside of the page builder to display “full height”. This would give you the same structure, but without the animated switching of sections. Only trade off is that you would loose the side dot navigation
Cheers
Is it possible to have an image gallery triggered from a single image without showing thumbnails?
Hey dacamov, as of now that would require css to hide the other images. If you can share your URL in regards where the gallery exists, I could steer you in the right direction.
Cheers
Hello again and thank you for the top quality service. You and this theme are amazing! Is it possible to make the video pop up lightbox a square orientation? See pic here: https://pasteboard.co/HQclfju.png Thanks buddy!
Hey LukeNielson 
Unfortunately that would require some modding as of now since the lightbox scripts will automatically go to 16:9 – however you could mask the fact better by switching your theme lightbox script to the latest available “fancyBox3” in the Salient options panel > general settings > functionality tab
Cheers
I have recently updated my version of the theme and now visual composer is no longer working. Any ideas?
I should also mention that visual composer is up to date and there is some functionality, i.e. I can duplicate elements like a text block for example. But I can not open existing elements to edit them.
Hey fernleighdesign, if you’ve verified that no third party plugins you may have active could be causing this, 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.comHi there.
I’d appreciate it if you could help me out.
I’m using a transparent header for the homepage. What I’d like to have:
1. If you hover the header (menu or mega- or submenu), background = solid colored white. The fixed menu (after scroll) should be solid colored white at all time. 2. A quicker megamenu: after hovering the (see example URL) ‘Magnetische Oplossingen’, the megamenu appears. However, if you leave the megamenu or menu-item, the animation to hide the megamenu is very slow in addition to the normal submenu – causing a weird effect in combination with the transparent header.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards, Sam
Hey Sam,
In order to have the megamenu remove the header transparency when hovered, ensure in the Salient options panel > header navigation > dropdown/megamenu tab that you have the option enabled for “Megamenu Removes Transparent Header”. If you already do, please share your actual URL so I can take a look in regards
Thanks in advance
Thanks for the quick help – did not see the option yet. How about the complete menu: is it possible to have a solid background when hovering a transparent header, just as the megamenu is doing now? jQuery addClass / removeClass is not working since it’s also adjusting the fixed (scroll) menu.
Thanks again.
Hey Slenx,
It would be possible with css – could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can provide an example snippet?
Cheers
Thanks, unfortunately I can’t seem to access that shortlink – it’s showing as “This goo.gl shortlink has been disabled”
Oeps. It is https://bit.ly/2QjCzEY
No worries Slenx – add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
html body #header-outer[data-transparent-header="true"][data-full-width].transparent:hover {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
#header-outer.transparent:hover header#top nav > ul > li > a {
color: #888!important;
}
#header-outer.transparent:hover header#top nav > ul > li > a:hover,
body #header-outer.transparent:hover header#top nav .sf-menu li[class*="current-menu-"] > a {
color: #009fe3!important;
}
Cheers
Hello guys, on my site, under some articles like this http://www.newhifi.it/wordpress/naim-ndx2/ – there is this line: http://www.newhifi.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Schermata-2018-12-04-alle-15.04.01.png Can you please tell me how can I remove it? Thank you. Best
Hey sdoganati, can you please try disabling third party plugins temporarily to see if it’s related to any you have active?
Hi when we use the text editor the text appears with the html tags also in the visual section and does not allow to change in the editor, we have updated theme and plugins.
Hey paolocostadesign,

https://themenectar.ticksy.comThanks in advance
Hi Guys. How do I make the off canvas navigation (full screen option) NOT cover the header? Thanks!!!!
Hey brianlichty, can you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look at your settings?
Thanks in advance
Guys, git a note from my hosting provider: “We have traced one of the processes that was using more resources than usual and found out that it was related with: wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/redux-framework/ReduxCore/inc/class.p.php Constantly writing in the database of the site. There were no malicious files in the directory of the theme.” Any ideas?
Hey quomo, what version of the theme and hosting provider you are using?
For some reason the colour overaly isn’t working. Is this something you are aware on. There is supposed to be a medium black overaly on the background image: http://thedrinksbox.co.uk/
Hey yellowo,
It looks like your main theme stylesheet is missing sections that are included in the core version. Please first try to disable your css minfiication plugin to make sure that the stylesheet doesn’t need to just be regenerated in the cache. If that doesn’t fix it, I would try installing a fresh copy of the theme as it’s possible older files lingered around when you updated last
Cheers
template fully supports PHP 7.2?
Hey Communityme, when using the current release there are no known compatibility issues
Hey there! I’m trying to import the restaurant demo (http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-restaurant/), but I can’t find it for some reason in the WPBakery Page builder. How can I do it? Thanks
Hey tovbar 
Full demos are imported via the Salient options panel > demo importer tab. The Salient studio template library inside of the page builder include section templates – the header portion of that specific demo is not in there, however i’ve noted to add it in
Cheers
how do you change the wording on the “next project” and “previous project”? i figure its in the functions.php but i find 6 different times those words appear in there.. which one is it? also how do you make that font for those words bigger?
Hey brianfreeman,
1. You can translate those strings using a .po file to avoid having to make any theme edits
2. Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
#portfolio-nav #prev-link a, #portfolio-nav #next-link a { font-size: 24px; }
Cheers
i’ve edited the .po and .mo files many times and no luck. how do i find the correct part in the functions.php? this .po way doesn’t seem to work
Hey, If you search for the “project_single_controls” function in the functions.php, you can change all occurrences of “Previous Project” / “Next Project”. Each different occurrence is related to a different “Single Project Page Navigation”, which is defined in the Salient options panel > portfolio > styling tab
