Almost 6 years ago I found Salient. And since then I have read 1,000’s of comments in order to maneuver my way around learning how she works. Is amazing! I’m not an IT guy, but this theme has allowed me to learn and do things I didn’t know I had in me. I’ve started my own business twice! I quit my old job. I really can go on and on about how much of a difference this theme has impacted my life. Not just for me but for my family. Thank you Nectar. Salient is a game changer. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write that ecuascott, it totally made my morning. Hearing stores like this truly motivates me more than anything else could 
Ever sense we updated our website to 10 and updated WooCommerce our sites extremely slow, can’t seem to figure out if it is a plugin causing it as when we deactivate all it’s still very slow….anyway we can you get you to check it out on the backend? NWSledder.com
Thank you!

Hi,
I am trying to hide the 2nd header on a landing page this is the code that I use but it does not work.
#header-secondary-outer {
display: none!important;
}
I am using this same blue header as in this demo http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce-ultimate/
Also, i’d like to disable the link on the logo that redirects to the home page, but I want to do that only for the landing page.
Thanks
Hey toolbox101,
The css you’ve shared is valid to hide the secondary header – can you please share your actual URL in regards so I can take a look why it’s not working for you?
Thanks
Now that you’ve moved to using the helpers, how can we override them in the child theme?
For example, I want to customise the woocommerce helper but if I put a file in my child theme like:
/salient-child/nectar/helpers/woocommerce.php
It doesn’t override the theme file!
Any work around for this; as I imagine lots of my customisation on this theme will now take place in the helper files.
Hey Sean, the helper files can’t be overridden in a child theme like that – however the partials, which are now located in includes/partials, can be. In the current beta we’ve ensure all functions can be easily overridden in a child theme funcitons.php by copying the needed function from the helper directory. If you’d like a copy of the beta, please reach via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Hello there! Just uploaded to version 10 and looks great!! Just wondering about two details. First, when using Magnific lightbox style, and clicking on an image, all styles of back/forward buttons are displayed; and second, it is difficult to add multiple images to a gallery. Do you recomend deleting the theme and reinstalling it? Or is it a bug and a fix is on the way? 
Here’s a page with an example gallery with two pictures showing this issues, at the middle of the page: https://viaeducacion.org/un-mentor-un-amigo-y-un-ejemplo/
Thank you!!!
Hey ViaEducacion!
1. The duplicate arrows are coming from a plugin you have active (give), however the latest theme lightbox script is actually fancyBox3 which you can switch to in the Salient options panel > general settings > functionality tab That script is recommended over magnific since it offers better responsive functionality
2. Can you explain what difficulties you’re having using the image gallery element to add/edit multiple images?
Cheers
Hello, guys!! Thanks for the response!! Here is a video uploaded to the website to illustrate the issue with the image gallery. Sorry I didn’t explained myself before. Whenever I try to add multiple images, the “Add image” button reamains like “shut down” after I click on it and then nothing happens. The dialog window stays there and if I close it, the images are not placed in the gallery element. Here’s the link to the vid: https://www.viaeducacion.org/downloads/template_issue.mp4
Hey ViaEducacion, thanks for creating a video to illustrate – is this occurring to you with every gallery or just this specific one? Could you kindly 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
Hi Phil. Just curious if there is an ETA on the next update. Looking forward to the new features for Salient Studio. By the way, I really like the new admin interface. Super clean design. Looks great! Regards.
Hey joe88! The next update will likely land in February – glad to hear you’re enjoying the current release
Hello!
How can I change the “More Details” to “View More” on portfolio image hover?
http://josephgalleryfl.com/artists/I have tinkered with both .po and .pot files in the lang folder, trying to edit this:

: nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php:4530
: taxonomy-project-attributes.php:233 taxonomy-project-type.php:259
: template-home-1.php:223 template-home-3.php:230 template-portfolio.php:348
msgid “View More” msgstr ””

Hey artblend,
The string is available for translation, but if you’re having issues with that and just want to know the location of the string – check out the nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php file and run a search for it
What is the easiest way to add an Apple Icon?
Hey katt101,
where are you trying to add the icon? There’s an apple icon available in the page builder “icon” element within the font awesome library.
Cheers
Is it possible using Salient Native features to make the map icons clickable? I’m testing out the format provided with |lat|long| and then wrapping the location name around and a tag, but that doesn’t seem to work.
Hey Liyte, the map icons are only clickable in the sense that they will trigger the map infowindow associated with the pin for a short description. If you’re trying to make them into a standard link, unfortunately this would require custom modding or the use of a different map plugin
Hello, when I enter my website, the banner on my home page shows the picture zoomed in, and then after a second stabilizes it back to normal. If I refresh the page through the browser, the banner again displays the picture zoomed in, and then again goes back to normal. How do I prevent this from happening? Does it have to do anything with the fact that I used the parallax effect previously on the banner? Did I not disable it properly? If not, how do I fix it? Thanks!
Hey socco, could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look to assist?
Thanks
Struggling with my mega menu under “shop” I have set it to a 2 column mega menu and then used CSS to restrict it’s size so it isn’t the full width of the header.
But I need it to align with the “shop” menu item rather than the far left side of the page.
Any help much appreciated thanks. http://79.170.40.178/foodieflavours2.com/Hey MarcGarner,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body header#top nav >ul >li.megamenu {
position: relative!important;
}
Perfect thank you
You’re welcome MarcGarner
Is it possible to have a different menu for different pages?
Hey rolldigo, that would require the use of a plugin such as https://themify.me/conditional-menus
this is not working, do you have another plugin to recommend? or do I have to change some configuration to it work?
Hey rolldigo, I just tested the plugin on my end with a conditional to verify that it should work. What version of the theme are your using?
The new theme update has totally ruined the backend. All my pages says ‘You have blank page, Start adding content or templates’ with some weird backend interface, yet the front end shows correctly!
It seems as WPBakery Page Builder is not working with latest version.
Hey gustav939, are you using v5.6 of the Salient WPBakery page builder plugin? Earlier versions will not work correctly with WP 5+ If you are, please reach via the contact form on my author page with temporary admin credentials so I can take a closer look https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks in advance
Hi. I resolved the issue. The page builder was out of date, but it did not show an update for it. Only after multiple cache cleans I saw the update, so now its working 100% thanks.
How do I get v5.6 of the Salient WPBakery page builder plugin because its not showing in backend
Hey gustav939,
Which version were you able to update to? You mentioned in the previous comment that you were able to see the update and resolve the issue. If you’re on Salient v10x and not seeing the update still for the page builder plugin to get 5.6, please reach via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Hi there,

https://www.dropbox.com/s/uov04gelfd9lpnu/2019-01-09-12-26-elliotj.jpg?dl=0Thanks Elliot
Its ok I figured it out thanks
Hey Elliotj, i’m glad to hear you’ve sorted it
Cheers
The new theme update seems to have a bug with the WooCommerce section “You may also like…”. 4 Products do not fit on the same line. I have tested this with other websites built with Salient and it seems that they also have the issue. I also tried removing all custom css. Other themes seem to work fine so I think it is an issue with Salient theme Screenshot: http://prntscr.com/m4v2ga URL: https://www.theislandtraveller.com/product/convenient-organised-travel-bag/
Hey peterstavrou,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.woocommerce .products.upsells ul.products li.product.last {
margin-right: 0px!important;
}
Hey MarcGarner,
try to 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: 1000px) {
body .vc_row-fluid .wpb_column { transform: translateZ(0); }
}
Cheers
Works great thanks, outstanding support as always.
Glad I could help MarcGarner
Hi, Happy New Year! I have installed Salient 8.5.6 and I would like update to the last version. What is the fastest and safest way to do it? What do you recommend?
Regards.
Hey alandres,
we wrote an article on this topic here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/
Cheers & Happy new year to you as well!
Great! thank you.
Glad I could help alandres
Hi,
Love this theme, thank you.
Currently trying to get my “header image” on all regular pages to anchor to the right side of the page, so that when window size changes it doesn’t crop the graphic positioned near the right side of the header. The rest of the header image is plain colour so I don’t mind the left being cropped when window is resized.
My site is using boxed layout.
Is there some code I can add to the custom css panel to make my page header image behave as described please?
Thanks in advance!
Hey LeanneKingwell!
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
#page-header-bg[data-bg-pos] .page-header-bg-image {
background-position: center right!important;
}
Cheers
Perfect! Thanks so much
You’re welcome LeanneKingwell
I want to add a link in the footer that opens the slide out menu? Is there a link or code I can use to add to a link so it opens the slide out menu like the hamburger does. Thank you!
Hey petruccelli, as of now there’s no event bound outside the header menu so this would require some modding. I’ve noted your +1 for the idea to add a custom generic class name which would trigger this
Cheers
How do we force a menu item e.g. Contact Us to go into the Top Right of the Header for the Centered Menu Bottom Bar menu option?
Hey adaptos, currently there is only the option to use a top left location for additional menu items on the centered menu bottom bar layout via the menu location “Top Navigation Menu Pull Left”. I’ve noted the idea to allow custom items on the right as well, however for now you’d need to modify the file includes/partials/header/header-menu.php
