Is it possible to select pages as the source for the category grid element rather than posts? Thanks
Hey MarcGarner,
Not as of now, however i’ve noted the idea on the wishlist
Hey there! I have 2 questions: 1. How can I change the color of blue line under the Search text (where I type my keywords). 2. How can I make the header transperent on Search Results and 404 pages?
Thanks! 
Hey tovbar!
1. It inherits from the selection in the Salient options panel > Header Navigation at the “Header Font Hover” field when using “Custom” for the “Header Color Scheme”
2. There’s currently no option for this without a theme mod, however I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist
Cheers
Hey! 1. Yes but seems it’s a little bugged – if I change the Header Color Scheme to Light, it displays the line in blue for like 1/4 sec and then it changes to black. How can I keep the color scheme as custom, and keep the black line? 2. Do you think you can provide me a custom code for that? I saw that 2 years ago you told someone who asked the same question to add this code to functions.php file, but it doesn’t works anymore: //if forcing effect if($force_effect == ‘on’ || is_search() || is_tax() || is_404() ) { $using_applicable_shortcode = 1; }
Hey tovbar,
1. Could you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
2. When using the latest version of the theme, the file to edit is salient/nectar/helpers/page-header.php – do a search for the “using_page_header” function. Within that, at the very bottom edit the line:
if($force_effect == 'on' && (!is_search() && !is_tax()) || $page_full_screen_rows == 'on' && (!is_search() && !is_tax()) ) { $using_applicable_shortcode = 1; }
to be
if($force_effect == 'on' && !is_tax() || $page_full_screen_rows == 'on' && !is_tax() || is_search() ) { $using_applicable_shortcode = 1; }
Cheers
Hey!
1. The website is still in localhost, so there is no URL available. But I have not changed any of the theme’s files, so what works for you should works for me.
2. Works, but can the image be longer (like halfscreen). Also, how can I apply this on the 404 page?
Thanks 
Hey tovbar!
1. It would be easier to troubleshoot if you could provide a staging URL so i can see all your settings
2. add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
html body.search #page-header-bg {
height: 450px;
}
The new snippet to include the 404 page would be:
if($force_effect == 'on' && !is_tax() || $page_full_screen_rows == 'on' && !is_tax() || is_search() || is_404() ) { $using_applicable_shortcode = 1; }
Cheers
Hey, 1. Are you sure you can’t find the issue with your version? I don’t want to upload the site with that issue. 2. The custom css works, but the 404 code does not (I copied-paste it to page-header.php file, right after the previous code).
Hey tovbar,
1. Just to clarify, are you referring to this line? https://ibb.co/YZFx8SX
2. Down further in the function you’d also need to modify this line:
//verify its not a portfolio archive
if( is_tax('project-type') || is_tax('project-attributes') || is_404() ) { $the_verdict = false; }
to be this:
//verify its not a portfolio archive
if( is_tax('project-type') || is_tax('project-attributes') ) { $the_verdict = false; }
1. Yes. 2. Works great. But – I have noticed that there is some bug with the header on the search results page. It works great on the 404 page, but on the serach results page the transperent header doesn’t looks the same as the header on the other pages. here is a screenshot: https://ibb.co/KmrFjFN
(It starts too left).
Thanks,
Hey tovbar,
1. Since I can’t replicate the issue you’re referring to, you can use this css to manually change the color to whatever you need it to be. Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
html body.material #header-outer #search-outer #search input[type="text"] {
border-color: #c74a4a!important;
}
2. I would also need to see a URL to assist with that. Unfortunately this is getting outside the scope of regular support we can provide – for custom PHP/JS modifications, we are allowed to point you to the section in the code and provide a guide for how to accomplish things, but we can’t handle the entire process
1. Works great, thanks! 2. I would not ask for a help if it was a custom PHP/JS code. It’s a bug in the theme, since the transperent header looks great on every page except the search results page (your code even looks great on the 404 page). Something is wrong with the search results file.
Thanks!
You’re welcome tovbar 
The issue is pertaining to custom functionality achieved through the custom code I provided above – there is no option for a transparent header on the search results page, so the offset of the page header image you’re showing when that new functionality is in effect is not something we’ve seen/tested for
I still think it’s your issue, but fine
can you guide me how to do this, as you said?
Thanks 
Is it possible to centralize the logo on the mobile?
Hey metropoleonline, this would require a line of CSS as of now. If you could share your URL, I’d be happy to assist
Cheers
Hello, the site is being edited in an environment outside the main domain (so as not to disrupt the current site). Follow the link: https://smartsites.top/obrigadeirov2
Hey metropoleonline,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.mobile #header-outer[data-transparent-header="true"] header#top #logo img.stnd {
margin: 0 auto;
}
.mobile header#top .col.span_3 {
width: 100%!important;
}
Cheers
Tks
I need more support in the mobile menu: 1. Centralize items; 2. Remove the dividers (dots); 3. Add social icons.
It’s possible?
When I activate the “Shape Divider” in the footer, the social icons are disabled (you can not click to access social networks).
I would like to know if it is possible to activate the “Shape Divider” over the previous content, as in the image: http://smartsites.top/img/footer-shape-divider-no-bg.png
Hey metropoleonline,
1. add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body #mobile-menu ul li a { text-align: center; border: none; padding: 8px 0!important;}
Social icons are not possible in the classic style mobile menu you’re using. If you switch to the newer off canvas navigation, then you can do this without modding. The off canvas navigation will be used when using the “Header Sticky On Mobile” option in the theme options panel > header navigation tab
2. Please open a ticket on our support forum in regards with temporary admin credentials so we can take a close look into this: https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Thanks in advance
Hello, can you tell me how to release the zoom function on PC/Notebook (ctrl + scroll) and mobile (tweezers)?
I set the “Overall Font Color” option but the posts texts continue to use the default color of the theme.
Hey metropoleonline,
1. The original theme skin uses a script for smooth scrolling which can interfere with ctrl+scroll zooming. If you switch to the latest skin (material) in the Salient options panel > general settings tab, that functionality will work
2. Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look
Thanks in advance
1. Tks
Thanks metropoleonlin,
I’m seeing all the post text in the single post template inherit from the color ”#38271b” – is that what you have set or is it actually supposed to be something else?
That’s right, it must have been some problem with the cache.
The oddest thing is that the corners of a part of the site (see image) were rounded. Another detail is the bottoms of boxes “Fancy Box” that do not remain the same size (see the same image).
Image: http://smartsites.top/img/print.jpg
Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?
Hey metropoleonline,
Are you trying to remove the rounded border? If so, add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.nectar-fancy-box[data-style="color_box_hover"] .box-inner-wrap, .nectar-fancy-box[data-style="color_box_hover"]:before, body .nectar-fancy-box[data-style="color_box_basic"] {
border-radius: 0;
}
Can you elaborate further on the “bottoms of boxes “Fancy Box” that do not remain the same size” issue?
Cheers
Tks for CSS
About Fancy Box:
How do you make sure that the bottom edge of “fancy box A” and “fancy box B” are always aligned, regardless of screen size?
See attached image: http://smartsites.top/img/print-margin-botton.png
In detail you can see that the bottom edge of “Fancy Box A” was lower than the bottom edge of “Fancy Box B”.
Hey metropoleonline,
There’s no way to easily set items inside of columns to be the same height besides setting the same minimum height value. You can easily make the columns themselves equal height via the parent row option for “equal height”. You could then set the yellow/brown backgrounds on the columns themselves
Hi, I am having trouble with the mobile responsiveness. The logo is not working correctly and is becoming distorted and duplicated same the with the blog section at the bottom of the homepage. It is not mobile responsive. Can you provide some guidance on this?
Hey CapitalDigitalMedia,
I’d be glad to take a look if you can share your URL in regards
Cheers
The URL is sidehustlelifestyle.co it is also distorted on desktop as well.
Also is it possible to change the background color of the mobile menu, without changing the default theme color?
Hey CapitalDigitalMedia,
1. Please disable your CSS minification so I can take a closer look at why this is occurring
2. add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
#mobile-menu { background-color: #fffa00!important; }
#mobile-menu ul li a { color: #000!important; }
#mobile-menu input[type=text] { background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.2); }
#mobile-menu .minimal-form-input label span.text { display: none; }
Thanks
Ok I’ve done this.
Hey CapitalDigitalMedia,
I’m still seeing that the CSS as well as the HTML markup is all being minfied – are you using a plugin for this or is it a feature from your hosting provider?
Cheers
Yes I am using a plugin, let me see what I can do to disable it temporarily.
Ok I have disabled all css and html minifying plugins
Thanks CapitalDigitalMedia, I’m actually seeing the logo work correctly now – are you seeing the same? If so, the minficiation settings you had active were too aggressive. What plugin are you using for it?
Cheers
Yes sorry for the delay and thank you for your help it does appear to be working after deactivating some plugins.
No worries, glad to hear it’s working for you 
Hey!
is there a way to get a simple normal search box instead of the big one?
Kind regards, Magnus
Hey Magnuspil!
The theme searchbox style will change based on the current theme skin you have chosen in the Salient options panel > general settings tab. Try the “Material” or “Original” skin if the “Ascend” one is too large for you 
First off, love this theme!
Problem I’m having, the stationary parallax effect for row backgrounds aren’t working on iOS devices. I’ve noticed a couple of other sites I frequent have this (not saying they use wordpress or this theme).
Is this a CSS thing that can be added, or am I missing something?
Thank you.
Hey Jwrbloom, glad to hear you’re enjoying the theme 
Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a closer look into your site – are you referring to the background parallax speed “fixed” in the row parallax settings? If so, that is disabled for mobile devices, however any of the other speeds should still allow the parallax effect
Is there a way to enable it via CSS, and if not, it would be nice if there was a way in the settings to have varied parallax speeds based on devices.
Hey Jwrbloom, because iOS doesn’t support “background-attachment: fixed”, a completely different approach would be needed to workaround it https://forum.webflow.com/t/ios-fixed-background-image-not-fixed/42895
Hi, is it possible to change heading color and link color on hover in the theme options? I don’t see options for these but wondered if I am missing something. Thanks.
Hey stan68,
CSS would be needed to alter that as of now. Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
html body a:hover { color: #000; }
Cheers
thanks, would you consider adding such theme options in future? I think being able to apply heading colors independently of paragraph color, as well as link/hover colors, is good.
Hey stan68, I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist 
Hi, is Salient compatible with Wordpress 5.1?
Hey Joagvr, Salient is compatible with WordPress 5.0.1 – you just need to be using the latest version of the theme/page builder plugin http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/
How do I change the font colour of the “Recent Posts” (Recent Articles) widget?
Hey taherio,
Can you kindly share your URL where you’re using it so I can see what style you have chosen to assist?
Cheers
Hey guys!
1. If you look at www.nyskaparna.se on mobile device, you will experience that longer h3 text (“Du har en verksamhet eller en idé. Den behöver vara hållbar, meningsfull & nyskapande. Dags att förverkliga.”) will break up pretty ugly.
How can we make it adjust as we did with h2 for mobile devices? With h2 we added:
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) { body .col h2, h2 { font-size: 27px; line-height: 32px; } }
to Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab. But just copying this and replacing h2 with h3 doesn’t seem to work.
2. Also, how do you decrease the height of the map only for mobile (www.nyskaparna.se/kontakt/ as reference)? The size for desktop works fine.
Cheers,
Mr. Cross
Hey Mr. Cross,
I added the example snippets for those items into your css box 
Cheers
Hey again!
The change that was made also affected the portfolio item texts and maybe text in other places too.
Could you please just make the change for the mentioned text section? 
Also a small code snippet to either left align, center or right align it on mobile phone only.
Thank you so much for making the best template for Wordpress! 
Cheers, Mr. Cross
Hey Mr. Cross, just updated the CSS in regards 
Cheers
can i use it in my site? It is made by wordpress platform. In this site: https://www.audiounit.lt
Hey cslifebox, That site is not using Salient, however you could create something similar with Salient
I have been waiting 2 weeks for tickets on the https://themenectar.ticksy.com site and have paid for support – am not satisfied with the slow response…. could you explain why simple tickets area taking so long? i.e. centering a button…. and other simple questions?
Hey pwanwu, I just took a look into the tickets you have open and am looking into how they were overlooked in the support forum
Currently working towards optimizing this site for mobile, however the mobile menu doesn’t allow visitors to click on pages to open them but instead just to access the sub menu. You can see this when you view the mobile site and try to visit the “Golf” page. Is there a fix I can do for this and any other advice for optimizing the site for mobile friendliness? https://onthedunessports.com/
Thank you
Hey slifdigital, there’s an option for this titled “Off Canvas Menu Dropdown Behavior” in the Salient options panel > header navigation > off canvas navigation tab
Thank you! Also is there a way to disable sitewide animation effects to improve responsiveness?
Hey slifdigital, there’s no option to globally remove animations, however most animations are disabled by default on mobile devices. Are you talking about the menu specifically?
Thank you, that was the issue and what I get for not reading ha. Cheers to you!
Hey EspionageStudio, glad to hear that sorted it for you
Cheers
Hey everyone!
A reminder for WordPress 5.0
Please read through our recent article on the new WordPress version before updating to ensure compatibility:
http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/Cheers
Same issue for me, my site auto updated to the latest Wordpress and now Visual Composer (pagebuilder?) seems to be broken.
Hey EspionageStudio, can you confirm you’re using the latest version of the WPBakery page builder (v5.6)? If so, please reach via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks
Hi. I’ve just updated to wordpress 5.0.1 and now i can’t use visual composer. The website is still running fine but I can’t update it. Please help. www.alexbirks.co.uk
Hey alexbirks, you also need to update your WPBakery page builder to 5.6 to get the page builder compatibility with WP 5.0x http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/
Cheers
Hello. I’m having a problem with the Parallax effect images. Looks like the background images are zoomed x10. There is something breaking this. I cant find where the problem is. Looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/9RY5ACV.png The original link is www.monitoreo.com
Fixed! I just change “Slow” to “Fixed” into “Parallax Background Speed” option.
Hey Rofe, glad to hear you sorted the issue 
Cheers
Hi there, thanks for another awesome update! I wondering if its possible to add the “hide on scroll Header” and also the “row animations” on mobile? In my opinion the website lost many of the nice features if using a mobile browser. Thanks in Advance
Hey fantomas_98, glad you’re enjoying it 
As of now Salient only supports BG related animations on mobile, but we’ve noted the to add a theme option to enable all desktop animations
Cheers
