Hey. Can you tell me if there is any possibility to add a Instagram feed in the same design as the testimonial slider?
Thank you.
Hey felixxliedtke,
Unfortunately there’s no instagram integration directly built into Salient, a third party plugin would be required

another thing sorry. https://hotelcoto.es/individual/ the image slider looks bad quality the photos, but when you click looks good quality, why is this? any way to solve it? thanks!
Hey dimage, when you edit your image gallery set the “image size” to something larger to provide a higher quality version. For example, 800×600

Hello, Can you tell me why the theme is pasting tons of inline css in header? Looks like a bad thing for SEO? Same when I view the code on your demoes
Hey pors, those are the dynamic styles generated based on your theme options settings – they are also internal CSS rules rather than inline, however you can move them to an external stylesheet by enabling the option “Move Dynamic/Custom CSS Into External Stylesheet” in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
Hello,
I think there is a bug on your testimonial slider. When I touch the testimonial on mobile it collapses to half of the text? Can you take a look at this? See https://asprojects.be/testimonials-references/.
Thanks in advance!
Hey Sieber-nl,
Could you kindly try enabling the option for “Disable height animation” within the testimonial slider settings to see if that corrects the issue?
Thanks in advance
That solves the problem of the testimonials to collapse! But it does not look good in the layout because of to much difference in height of the testimonials. There is now a big gap between the content and the navigation of the slider.
Hey Sieber-nl, thanks for confirming – I just added the fix for that into the current beta. If you’d like access early, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Cheers
Thanks for fixing the testimonial slider! I am looking forward to the new version of your theme!
Of course Sieber-nl, thanks for reporting the issue
Hello. Is the sticky sidebar/ sidebar available for blog post pages?
Hey ihpalash2,
Yes there is an option for using the sticky sidebar on blog posts. It’s located in the Salient options panel > blog > styling tab
Are you guys having problems with your support tickets? I have some not replied since 5 days ago and I need to finish my project!
Hey active00, sorry about that – I’ll take a look into your tickets with the support team to see how they were overlooked
Saludo, con todo el cariño a este grandioso lugar!
Necesito algun codigo para el tema sailent, ya que google me dice que esta muy lento y tarda mucho en entrar, Me pueden ayudar con el codigo para optimizar la entrada a mi web. ?
Hey willyitc7
Cheers
Hey! Great theme, I just have a quick question. How do I make the name, email and subject fields deeper like in this example here – http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate/contact/
I’m trying to get the same styling/spacing as this.
The page in question to compare to is https://www.nickradjabi.com/contact – I can’t quite figure it out.
Also how do I add form labels ontop to the left like the example. Currently my form only has placeholder text and I’d like the labels to appear too.
Thanks nickradjabi
1. When using the “Ascend” theme skin in the Salient options panel > general settings tab, the inputs will be ticker. If you want that look without changing skins, add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body input[type=text], body textarea, body input[type=email] { padding: 16px; }
body .wpcf7 p { clear: both; }
2. The demo form on the corporate site is not using placeholder attributes, instead regular labels are used which cause the text to appear above rather than inside the inputs. Here’s a paste of that exact form: https://pastebin.com/98z6zKwF
Cheers
Amazing, thank you!
You’re welcome nickradjabi
Hello. Before we had a brief discussion about no
on the homepage when using Salient slider. Salient 9.0 was suppose to fix that but I just noticed it has not.
How can I make the header be a H1 title as I would like to have this on my homepage.
Hey dzineee, you would need to copy the entire “nectar_slider_display” function from the file nectar/helpers/nectar-slider.php into your child theme. Once in there, you can alter this line:
$slider .= '<h2>' . $slide_title . '</h2>'; }
Cheers
The whole reason I didn’t do that yes because it would have been resolved with the new version of Salient. Is there a reason this was not done in the end?
Thank you for the suggestion, I will look into the template.
To do this. Would you recommend copying the nectar-slider.php file to my child theme and create subfolders like this: /themes/salient-child/nectar/helpers
And place the edited file in there. Is that correct?
Hey dzineee, the Nectar Slider heading tag is an h2 rather than an h1 because it’s expected that multiple slides will be used since it’s a slider.
In regards to getting it in your child theme, you can simply just copy the specific function (nectar_slider_display) from the file and place it into your child theme functions.php
Could you elaborate where that part exactly begins? Because I cannot see a clear defined function in nectar-slider.php.
And it is part of a long if loop. I am hesitant copying a 100 line function for something as small as this. Is there not a more elegant solution?
Hey dzineee, here’s the exact line: https://ibb.co/Hd3zWBQ
So I only need to copy those 2 lines in my child-theme functions.php and adjust the
Hey dzineee, the entire function would need to be copied if you want to move it into a child theme – I was only showing where the modification would be necessary within the function.
Could you please indicate what the whole function is? How many lines do I need to copy? Is there not a better way?
Please show me the all the php lines to copy to child theme. Thank you
Hey dzineee, if you’re using v10.0.1 of the theme, it starts on line 426 and ends on line 784
Thank you. Is it advisable to copy almost 300 lines of functions to your child theme? Is this not prone to errors and delays?
Hey dzineee, it will not cause any delays – the only time it would require updating is if the parent theme function changes – but it has not in many releases.
I’m still not a fan of this solution. It is too messy for me. Is it possible to overwrite the .php file itself by using a folder structure in my child theme? I rather not have so many lines in my functions.php as this is meant for small changes.
Overriding the entire file is not possible and would open you up to having to manage updating every single function instead of just one when something changes in the parent theme. Is there any specific reason you’re not using a regular row or page header instead of the Nectar Slider since you’re only using one slide?
That is a good question. I believe it was impossible to get he downwards arrow in a normal header image. Also I think there was an issue with the button. Or do you think a header would do all those things? Including resize to screen.
Hey dzineee,
The scroll down arrow is available for a fullscreen page header but now also available as a page builder element, so it can be added to any row. It’s a style within the “call to action” element as of Salient v10
Thank you for that. I have now tried building it with a regular element with down button. However, on mobile the full screen does not seem to work very well. Compare https://www.goedeshampoo.nl/test-home/ to https://www.goedeshampoo.nl/ to see what I mean.
Is this a mistake on my side? Can I resolve that in any way?
Hey dzineee,
The content of your section is larger than the height of a smartphone – you can fix that by 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) {
.header-homepage-title {
font-size: 22px;
line-height: 35px;
}
.header-homepage-subtitle {
font-size: 15px!important;
}
}
Thank you very much I really appreciate the help. After doing this it is better, but the image is still not fullscreen on mobile. Is there something else changing the dimensions of the image?
Hey dzineee, It’s getting extra height because it’s only accounting for the header nav bar – the custom bar you have added “DE BESTE PRODUCTEN VOOR GEZONDE HAARGROEI” etc. will be pushing the total height down further
Thank you I now integrated the background text box image instead of the salient slider (Y).
You’re welcome dzineee

Hi guys,
Using Salient Agency, is there a setting for sharpening colors, saturation or contrasts in video background?
Cheers, Mr. Cross
Hey Mr. Cross,
There are no controls within the theme to alter properties of the video like that, these things would need to be altered before exporting your video file

Hey Fixedman, what browsers are you using and can you provide a screenshot? So far, I checked on Chrome/Firefox/Edge and can’t see any differences in the Montserrat font displaying
Thanks in advance
Here is the screenshot https://imgur.com/a/9YBliu9
Thanks Fixedman, weirdly enough I’m not seeing the Google font request at all coming from your site so the font will only show on Computers which already have Montserrat installed. Do you have the font set in the Salient options panel > typography section? If so, something must be blocking the request. Please reach out via the contact form on my author page with a temporary admin login so I can take a closer look
https://themeforest.net/user/themenectarThanks in advance
Hey rolldigo,
In the Salient options panel > portfolio > functionality tab there’s a field for “Custom Portfolio Page Sortable Text”
Cheers
The Expanded state of the toggles indent the text to the right. How can i remove that indent and allow the text to left align. Also how can i edit the font size and weight for the title?
Hey TruBrotha,
There should be a ”+” and ”-” sign showing in that left hand position where it’s currently blank on yours. Not sure why it’s hidden, but you can remove the space by adding this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.toggle h3 a { padding-left: 16px; }
The font will also inherit from the “heading 3” selection in the Salient options panel > typography > general html settings tab
Cheers
Hello,
How can I translate the Options panel’s strings? For example, “General Settings” “Styling” “Functionality” “CSS / Script Related” ...
I downloaded the default.po file I translated and uploaded to the themes / salient / lang folder with the name of pt_BR.
Using Loco translate the translation is recognized in the plugin, but does not change the words on Options Panel.
What should I do?
Hey Tresmeiazero, did you also upload the .mo file with the .po? What version of the theme are you using?
Thanks in advance
Yes i made upload of .mo file with the .po, but dont work. tested also only with the mo file.
As I said Loco Translate recognizes the translation in the editing area, but the terms are not translated in the Options Panel.
And when making changes it does not show error and the message appears: OK: PO file saved and MO file compiled.
The version is 10.0.1.
Hey Tresmeiazero,
Could you kindly open a ticket on our support forum in regards with temporary admin credentials so we can take a closer look into this: https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Thanks in advance
Hello, I have been using Salient with multiple site but in my most recent Website, I installed Salient theme and seems to have crash the back end of my website. First of all the Crown symbol is so big that it covers most of the other tabs in the back end but then the whole back en is really slow and finally the Salient theme features are completelly unresponsive.
Hey Smohler, I took a look at your email earlier today and responded in regards
Hi there I think there is a bug.
In the portfolio section it keeps adding a black border around my text boxes and there is nothing I can do to get rid of it.
Anything I can do to get rid of the border?
Thanks Elliot
Its OK I’m an idiot, I realised the issue…
I am having an issue where when hitting preview, the page doesn’t update the page first time. I have to press preview a few times for it to register. This only happens in the portfolio section for some reason.
Hey Elliotj,
Glad to hear you figured out the first issue. I’ve noted to test further in regards to the preview delay
Cheers
Hello there, We’re having issues with Google Site speed test for the mobile version of the site. Even on the salient demo the mobile site speed test is very low. Fore example : http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce-ultimate/ the desktop speed score is 94 and mobile is 23. On our own site viewpointecenter[dot]com/virtual-offices-las-vegas/ we got 87 for Desktop and 29 for mobile even after we added some caching, etc. I know Google isn’t the preferred test for a lot developers but to us it’s the most important since it can impact SEO and Adwords ratings. Any suggestions?
Hey tmanschap, that demo will score lower due to the large amount of images being used, where as a demo such as the recent portfolio one will be higher:
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fthemenectar.com%2Fdemo%2Fsalient-slider-portfolio&tab=mobileThe newer Google pagespeed score highly weighs in the use of next generation image formats which are not common practice just yet. So the more images you have on your page that are not using those, the higher hit you’ll get to the score calculated.
Other score calculators like Gtmetrix don’t do this. However, there are free plugins out there which will convert your images into the next gen formats such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/webp-express/ – I would give that a shot
HI Themenectar we started using webp-express on viewpointecenter[dot]com/virtual-offices-las-vegas/ but we are seeing little improvement. Mobile site speed score is still around 22. Any other ideas?
We have caching configured as well, but there is still a surprising difference between the desktop and mobile sites.
It seems that your portfolio demo only scores high on mobile because it has little content at all. I should be able to use the full theme features and still score a decent ranking with google for mobile.
Hey,
I’m seeing that none of your css and scripts are minfiied https://ibb.co/MBZT243 – please enable minifcation via your desired plugin of choice to correct that penalty you’re getting
Thanks for the ongoing help with this. Sorry, we had temporarily disabled caching while we were working on the site. Please try the site speed test again. Even with caching enabled and CSS minified we are only getting 33 on mobile. Any other suggestions?
Hey tmanschap, no worries. I checked it out again and am seeing a couple things still:
https://ibb.co/9rYHbhJYour minification for JS is ignoring the init.js and nectar-slider.js files – the scripts highlighed can be minfied and moved to the footer with the rest.
It also seems you have a row set to display on mobile only which is using an image gallery with the Nectar Slider style. If you use a lighter slider style such as the “basic slider style” or just avoid changing the items into a slider all together, it will remove an additional script/css file
