Theme looks incredible but I have a few questions before purchasing.
1) Is it possible to display image captions when viewing a single image in the lightbox?
2) Possible to sort images into a row, whether using Page Builder or the gallery feature? example: https://imgur.com/a/U8HImtH
2) Custom gallery image sizes possible? Would prefer the height to be in the 300-400px range.
4) Possible to make a Gallery as the homepage? I’m a photographer and would like for the homepage to be an overview gallery instead of a page linking to different portfolios. Would link to each section of my portfolio using the navigation in the header.
Hey lorenwohl,
1. Yes, the image gallery and portfolio (used as a lightbox only) can display image captions
2. You could make that by using page builder rows, but to make the gallery 5 columns would require a snippet of css
3. The image gallery element, set to the image grid style, allows for custom sizes to be defined
4. Yes, you can set whatever page you like to display as the front page by choosing it in the wp admin panel > settings > reading
Cheers
The new grey UI icons in the page building plugin look crap, any chance you can revert them back to the blue for the next release?
Hey demsone, we have no plans to revert to the older image based icons. The new set is a font based icon which loads much quicker, with less load on the server and is more consistent from a design perspective. The old ones, being images, also did not allow color changing for the hover
Hey Alexandre_BruLe, ensure that you have a value set for the h1-h6 tags in the typography options tab. The responsive scaling option will be skipped if the heading appears to have no user defined values. If you just set a font size for them, it should allow the option to work
Hi there, I hadn’t so I specified a size value for all the h1 – h6 tag as well as the header font, but unfortunatly it seems that the text in the text box is not responding to these changes and no responsiveness either. Text break is working good when I reduce the screen size but the font is not reduced…
Hey Alexandre_BruLe, please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page so I can take a closer look at the backend settings https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Hello team Salient! Is there any way to have 2 or 3 flipboxes on a single row on mobile? Thanks in advance
Hey Ferlewels,
Yes – you can use the “responsive options” tab when editing the columns to set the desired column width on each viewport 
Cheers
just give ya heads up I found a bug. when configuring the footer section theres all the options to enable the social media icons yet theres not one for the email option like there is when you configure the social media in the other settings
Hey brianfreeman, thanks for letting me know. They will be added in the next release
Hi,
I have always had a problem with the woocommerce button colours. All of them from the single product page, to the cart page to the checkout page. I have made many attempts to change the colour of them using css, but it never ever works. I don’t know why it is so difficult to target these buttons, but it is not very good from a user point of view.
The reason we are trying to change the colour is for conversion purposes. We would like to change these buttons to a complimentary colour.
There seems to be a number of solutions in these comments and none work for me. The closest I have come to a solution is the following css:
.woocommerce a.button, .woocommerce-page a.button, .woocommerce button.button, .woocommerce-page button.button, .woocommerce input.button, .woocommerce-page input.button, .woocommerce #respond input#submit, .woocommerce-page #respond input#submit, .woocommerce #content input.button, .woocommerce-page #content input.button { background-color: red!important; }
However it does nothing as it is still showing the #2baadf colour which is our primary colour. When i use chrome dev tools to to de-select the #2baadf it shows the red, but also then allows the horrible mint / green colour on hover. I have no idea where that comes from either!
I can not find the location of the css which handles the overriding #2baadf to turn it off. Please can you help with this? The frustration with this one item over the last few years had driven me nuts!!!!!
I don’t understand why this not an option in the theme settings.
Please help
John
E.g. (see add to cart button as a https://discovergrandprix.com/product/spanish-grand-prix-tickets/Hey John,
Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab to target all of them:
body[data-form-submit="regular"] button[type=submit], .woocommerce-page button.single_add_to_cart_button, .woocommerce-cart .wc-proceed-to-checkout a.checkout-button,
body[data-form-submit="regular"] button[type=submit]:hover, .woocommerce button.button, .woocommerce #order_review #payment #place_order,
.nectar-slide-in-cart .widget_shopping_cart .buttons a {
background-color: #df2b2b!important;
}
Thanks for your request for a theme option for this as well – it’s been noted
Cheers
Ok thanks.
What I have done is take your advice and mix it with my own solution.
1. I have created a colors.php file and added it to my child theme in the right folder
2. I have then searched for “extra-color-2” (this is irrelevant. It could be 1, 2, or even gradient) and at the top of the extra color 2 sectiom, I have added only this part of your code:
body[data-form-submit=”regular”] button[type=submit], .woocommerce-page button.single_add_to_cart_button, .woocommerce-cart .wc-proceed-to-checkout a.checkout-button, body[data-form-submit=”regular”] button[type=submit]:hover, .woocommerce button.button, .woocommerce #order_review #payment #place_order, .nectar-slide-in-cart .widget_shopping_cart .buttons a
E.g just the buttons I was hoping to target.
3. I saved the file and refreshed the page to check. It works.
The reason this is currently the best solution is that it gives good control from the salient theme options in the wordpress cms. Without doing this, I was running into all sorts of cache problems. Doing it this way gives an instant change due to how you have coded the CSS.
I am leaving this here as a solution for other users as it has frustrated me for a long time.
One thing I might do is investigate registering “extra-color-woo” in the theme settings and then adding the same to the colors.php file so I can truly isolate just the woocommerce buttons.
Hope this helps others!
Just to add to my reply from earlier, I have since created the extra-color-woo option in the salient theme settings. This now lets me choose the colour of just those buttons, so I can now much more quickly a/b test it.

Hi, is this theme compatible with wordpress 5?
Hey webstudiolvmm, yes it is: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/
Cheers
Hi. I used Salient Original Demo for my website and the zoom wheel is not working in Chrome (it workx in FF and IE). This means, I can make zoom with control + but not with control mouse (it just scrolls). I checked that the demo Original has the same behaviour http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/
How can I make it work? (I changed the theme to default, deactivate all plugins and still not working the zoom wheel).
Hey squizzo, the older theme skins still use a JS based smooth scrolling enhancement that will prevent this. If you switch to the latest skin (material) in the Salient options panel > general settings tab, you won’t have that issue.
Cheers
I made a trillion changes in the CSS for this skin. If I change it, I lose my changes. Any other idea on how can I change the JS to avoid the prevention of the zoom wheel?
BTW whe zoom wheel works in firefox and IE, so it is just deactivate the deactivation. But I cannot find where.
Hey squizzo, if you open the js/init.js folder and search for the section commented ”//chrome ss” – that entire conditional can be removed
Okey, THANKS! You saved my live! 
I understand there is no way to have the init.js in the child theme, right?
You’re welcome squizzo
You could via dequeing the parent script and enqueing it again in the child theme, though it’s not recommended since that particular file changes often
Cheers
Hi I notice the shape divider distorts, squeezes horizontally when viewing on mobile/tablets. Is it possible to get it to scale proportionally?
Hey Mikeoc,
What value are you using for the height? If you’re not using a percentage based value – give that a shot to ensure exact resizing through screen sizes. e.g. 30%
Cheers
Hi, I realise that adding icons into the menu is not native with the theme yet, but was wondering if something like http://demo.accesspressthemes.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-menu-icons/inbuilt-icon-demo/# would be compatible? TY
Hey npboy99, it looks like it would be compatible. Just let me know if you run into any issues
Cheers
Why does my website keep scrolling back to the top when using anchor text?
My mid-page anchor is h2 id=”elkridge_schedule” style=”text-align: center;”
The link in the menu is
https://www.crazy88mma.com/locations/maryland/elkridge#elkridge_scheduleIt keeps adding a ’ / ’ between elkridge and #elkridge_schedule and the site moves back up. Any idea?
Hey JuliusPark,
Could you kindly reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page with temporary admin credentials so I can take a look at the backend? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

And after updating to the latest version of Salient the Visual Composer are gone! It is installed but inside a post it is gone. Panic!
Hey AlexanderMJ,
1. Are you using the WPBakery page builder “video player” element? If not, are you setting a 16:9 aspect ratio via the width/height attributes on the iframe embed itself? e.g.<iframe src="" width="384" height="216"></iframe>2. After updating the theme, you need to also update the WPBakery page builder (formerly known as visual composer) plugin to v5.6 – have you checked out this article yet in regards? http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/
Cheers
I went back to a backup. But I have installed a brand new test page and installed the latest version of wordpress and salient. If you check this link, you will see that the video in the mobile phone becomes too high. If you just peel down a browser on desktop, it works, but if you press update then you will get the error. Why does this problem occur now? It appears that the system now creates an iframe?
http://beta.pixlify.com/uncategorized/testrubrik/Hey AlexanderMJ, this issue should not occur when using the video player element to handle youtube embeds: https://ibb.co/s1dmKk2 If you can’t use that element, please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page so I can give you an early fix for raw video embeds https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Sent. Waiting for your reply. Thanks!
Thanks AlexanderMJ
Thank You very much for your excellent theme. I have faced some issues concerning about responsive scaling with Salient. I want my pages (heading&navigation) to scale down exactly like in your Agency demo, unfortunately there are some issues on mobile view. On mobile screens, logo and hamburger menu is lot smaller, padding around them (left&right) is also almost gone. Logo is too up and the header (hamburger icon & logo) are too small. I’m sure there is some simple fix for this but I can’t seem to find what it is. I have not found options in your theme to fix these to get similar results. I have made my content over the Agency demo but the mobile view has these issues.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/504m74j1zeoyeux/Screenshot_salient.jpg?dl=0Hey artohel
After inspecting your site closer, it looks like it’s being loaded entirely through an old school html frameset: https://ibb.co/qMc9ZZt – that will definitely interfere with the responsive nature. If you’re unsure how that’s being added, please check with your hosting company to verify it’s not a “feature”
ThemeNectar, ThankYou very much! You have no idea how long I have been finding solution, but it was easier than I thought. There was old frame redirect rule to subfolder. I removed that, and moved everything to the root. It works as charm now! Thanks.
Hey artohel, glad to hear that sorted it for you
Cheers
Hi, is it possible to have a different menu for mobile devices as for desktop? Thakns in advance.
Hi, we have updated to wordpress v5. Salient Visual Composer has subsequently stopped working. Any ideas on getting it back up and running?
Hey bluealligator,
You must be using Salient v10+ and the WPbakery page builder v5.6 in order to use WP 5.0 – please take a look through the article we have on this: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/
Cheers
Hi, Love Salient, have many licenses – more licences than sites right n ow. haha. Anyway – I too have been hijacked by this horrific new gutenburg builder. I saw others have this and I’m willing to install the “Disable Gutenburg” plugin but I saw that you mentioned being able to disable the 5.0 something in the VC settings. I’m not able to find anything on that and I don’t seem to have an upgrade available either. Thoughts? Or should I just install the other plugin? Thanks.
Hey tradeart
The option for that was added in the latest WPBakery page builder release (v5.6). IUn order to get access to it, you must be using Salient 10+. Please take a look through the recent article we wrote on this: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/
Cheers
i have just updated wordpress and salient but now i have no more the possibility to edit article with the visual composer ( i dont remember the right name of it ). How can i do?
Hey AlbeSart,
Make sure you’re using v5.6 of the WPbakery page builder (formerly visual composer). http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/
Cheers
hi,
all the ‘select’ items on my website are not the same as the ones in the Salient Theme preview .. how can I get the same styling as all the Salient select items
for example the ‘attributes select’ in the variations_form (dropdown) on the product page or the woocommerce-ordering form .. I think this is the general styling instead of the Salient staying ..
regards, Laurens Floor
Hey LaurensFloor, in the Salient options panel > form styling tab, you the option titled “Enable Fancy Select Styling”
hi,
how am I able to add the color filter on the shop page, as seen on this page: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce-creative/shop/regards, Laurens Floor
Hey LaurensFloor, that demo is using the plugin YITH WooCommerce Ajax Product Filter for that widget
ahh thanks !
but how am I able to get those color schemes on the shop page ? I installed the plugin but I don’t see those round color buttons ..
regards, Laurens Floor
Hey LaurensFloor, when you add the ajax filters widget you can select “color” as the “type” and then select colors that align with your defined product attributes
Cheers
hi ! thanks for the fast reply !
that worked indeed
another question ..
with a couple products on our webshop we have 3 different colours, we made these products ‘variable products’ with these variations on colours: - light metal - dark metal - gold platted metal
how can I enable when people select a colour (from the YITH WooCommerce Ajax Product Filter widget) that the variable product image switches to the product with the selected color ?
Glad to hear LaurensFloor
In regards to your new question, I don’t think that the plugin offers that functionality, though you can confirm with the plugin author here: https://yithemes.com/themes/plugins/yith-woocommerce-ajax-product-filter/
How can I customize my header logo on each web page?
Hey grafismo54, that would require modding the “nectar_logo_output” function via a child theme. If you’re using version 10, you can find that function in the nectar/helpers/header.php file to copy
There is some code or Custom CSS Settings
Hey grafismo54, it wouldn’t be possible with CSS, the easiest way to handle it would be the copy the function I mentioned above into your child theme. Then you’d be able to modify it to your liking using conditionals
