Hi,
I just wanted to highlight that your video Lightbox isn’t responsive on larger monitor sizes and appears with a white box: https://snag.gy/GjLPEo.jpg
Is there any way we can fix this or it will be amended in a future theme update?
Hey Micatuca, are you seeing that occur on all browsers or only Safari? So far I have not been able to replicate using 1920w on Safari but I’ve noted to test on a larger display
Hi thanks for looking into this, no this is not happening on safari on other screen sizes. We are only seeing it on iMac 27inch Retina display (5120×2880)
Thanks for clarifying Micatuca
Hi, please come back to us on how to fix this.
Also, just about to send you a link to our site where we have another issue. For some reason the mobile menu isn’t showing the actual menu items.
Hey Micatuca,
1. I have not had a chance to test on that resolution yet since I don’t have a retina desktop display for Mac on hand, i’ve noted it for the next release which will be out in February
2. Please do share your URL so I can take a look.
Hi ThemeNectar,
Did you manage to fix the issue with your video lightbox not displaying right on large monitors?
Hi I’ve updated to latest version of WPML plugin and Salient and now arabic version is a mess! I’ve talked with WPML support team and they said I have to talk with you because is a theme bug with rtl.
Hey popoimagen, can you clarify whether your RTL styling was working correctly before the update? Also, please share the actual URL so I can take a further look to assist.
Thanks in advance
Yeah, the problem came when I’ve updated salient. Here is the link to arabic version: https://www.ludmilanavarro.com/ar/
Hey popoimagen,
from taking a look the only thing jumping out at me is the header alignment (cart icon overlapping the logo). The home page, shop related pages all seem okay. Can you confirm whether that’s what you’re referring to – if there are other issues could you kindly list them specifically so I can take a closer look?
Thanks in advance
Hey yes as far as I see its header alignment, also off canvas menu doesn’t work. How can I fix that? Thanks in advance.
Hey popoimagen, I’ll be adding the fix for those items into the current beta. If you’d like a copy before the next release, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Hello,
I’m not sure it’s a bug or I do something wrong, but I turn ON Activate Fullscreen Rows and Page Footer I pick Default Footer. But there is no footer shown.
Here’s the link: https://iceiceicy.com/causeeffect/Hey effective_advisory,
It looks like a plugin you’re using is adding some extra markup which is likely preventing the footer from showing https://ibb.co/nz96bMQ if you can remove that, it should fix the issue
Cheers
I found the culprit plugin. Thank you!
You’re welcome effective_advisory 
Why are the Blog “next post” and “previous post” the wrong way around? Next post should be a newer one, and last post an older one. Salient has it the wrong way! See any of your demo sites, such as:
http://preview.themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266Hey rednosemonkey, the next/previous on the blog/project single template follow the logic of common pagination practice where “next” is the actual next piece of content, sorted from newest to oldest. Similar to the pagination shown on any archive where next will bring you to the next page, with older posts and previous will go back, bringing you to newer posts https://ibb.co/hybJc8C
I’ve noted the idea to make a theme option to reverse this, but for now if you wish to you would need to alter the nectar_next_post_display function in nectar/helpers/blog.php
Thank you. For readers this is a little counter intuitive. We make a 4 post blog topic and release one a week. The “next” from post no.2 is no.1. This is clearly not what the readers would want. I had taken a look at that function, but it looks a bit too much to edit easily. Do you have any links to where I might find the solution to reverse the order in this function?
Hey rednosemonkey,
Within that function, look for the lines:
$previous_post = get_next_post(); $next_post = get_previous_post();
and alter them to be:
$previous_post = get_previous_post(); $next_post = get_next_post();
If you would like assistance with this, kindly open a ticket on our support forum in regards with temporary admin credentials: https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Thanks in advance
Thank you! This is what I ended up doing. It is useful to get your confirmation that this is the easiest way. For anyone else reading this thread, I’ll quickly outline how to make this update proof. Copy this function to your child themes functions.php file and rename it (you can’t call 2 functions with the same name). Then change the 2 places that this function is called in the single.php file, to the new name you gave it in your functions.php. And save this new singles.php in your child theme. This way the function is called from your child theme, and the function is in your child themes functions.php. Any updates to Salient will not affect the changes.
Thanks for sharing that for anyone else who may come across it rednosemonkey 
Hi ThemeNectar, can the new Category Grid element be sorted in any way otehr than alphabetical? If not would this feature be in an upcoming release?
Hey yzhang747,
As of now it would require custom development, however I’ve noted a +1 for adding an option for this
Cheers
Hello,
Seems like the “Excerpt Length” function doesn’t work, I’m using the element “Blog” with layout “Standard Blog No Sidebar” but the excerpt length still showing 30 words – It doesn’t change like what I’ve set in the Salient Options. How to fix this? Note: I’m using the lastest version (10.0.1)
Thanks much!
Also, is there a “custom excerpt” option that I could set manually on specific posts? Many thanks!
Update: I found the “custom excerpt” on post editor.
Hey hkunkun, which standard blog style are you using? i.e. “classic”, “minimal” or “featured image left”?
Thanks in advance
Hey Nectar! Recently I had one of my clients give me amazing feedback that had me seriously questioning my branding ability.
He said he adores us and our work but he feels like we may be positioning ourselves wrong.
We are starting to drift away from helping small business and working towards building relationships with larger to medium sized business’s.
He said on our homepage that the homepage design and wording is confusing – https://www.lnbbroductions.com/We look like a web design firm but it doesn’t highlight what we do really really well which was for him – Super responsive, amazing customer service, fast service, overall speed, and the biggest one of all is in his words “legitimization”.
He said you made us legit. Before our company looked terrible online and as a medium sized business selling high end products we have to look amazing.
The website before would lose us clients because they didn’t think we were real. Not anymore.”
Here is their website – https://imagine-4d.com/
After thinking about it, I agree.
In your opinion what can we do to really make us stand out as agency to use the fullest extent of the theme and messaging?
I apologize for the lengthy message but I had to reach out since I really think we are on the verge of doing something great in Austin with this. Please help and let me know your thoughts.
Hey lnbbroductions 
Your site looks good – it seems as though you’re already making use of some of the latest features such as the material skin/new off canvas menu which is cool. I would recommend spicing up the “How we can help” section and expand those static icons + text to be fancy boxes such as we’ve down on the main promo page: https://ibb.co/3FmwJsw
I also like the imagine 4d site a lot, it looks great!
Hi guys, is it possible for the category description to be under the product list?
Hey radekcho, as of now that would require custom modding however I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist.
Cheers
I have searched the comments and tried everything to remove the white space at the bottom of the page. Screenshot shared here https://ibb.co/gm8Nn4d
Hey wclock01,
If you could share your actual URL I’d be glad to take a look at why that’s occurring for you.
Thanks in advance
Thanks! It’s set to private. Missioncrisp.com/wes password: crisp
Thanks wclock01,
There’s a CSS snippet which is causing it that Salient is not adding:
body {
margin: 0;
position: relative;
margin-bottom: 150px;
}
If you’re not sure of where that’s coming from, it’s probably a plugin. Once that’s removed the issue will be sorted.
Cheers
Thanks!
You’re welcome wclock01 
Hi guys,
May be answered already but when I tried to search I had 191 pages of results… Thought it would be easier to ask.
On this page: https://connectingbrands.pt/produtos/
How can I translate the next page button on the bottom of the page. I’m using Loco translate plugin.
Thanks
Hey DigitSigma, the text should be available when generating a .po from the included nectar_salient_strings.pot via locotranslate. When using locotranslate, go the plugin settings (Loco Translate > Themes > Salient > Advanced) – in there you can set the path to the .pot file. For the Template file field use “lang/nectar_salient_strings.pot”
Hi guys,
The website’s languange is Portuguese for now. And as far as I can see, PT language is already available – redux-framework-pt_PT.mo.
I tried do what you suggested, but must be missing something because the string is not being translated.
What I did was:
1 – Added the .pot file in the advanced settings. 2 – Created a new language and it have read the strings from the template file. 3 – Translated the string “next” into “Página seguinte” and translated the string “products” that appears in the category display. I saved the changed, but nothing happens.
Is there something that I’m missing?
P.S: I can’t create the support ticket because my support expired…
Thanks
Hey DigitSigma, I just did a test translation on that string to verify it should allow for translating:
https://ibb.co/Y2WVBNJ https://ibb.co/PCCJKw0Checking out your stylesheet, the modifications you made could be effecting it – namely the “Text Domain: connectingbrands” at the top. Did you modify that anywhere else within the theme?
Hi There,
Thanks for your suggestion. I have uploaded an original theme and using a child theme now pointing to the Salient folder as a template. The translation that I mentioned above – “Next” is now accessible and I can see it.
I still have another string that I would like to translate, but I can’t locate it in Loco translate. On the main page – https://connectingbrands.pt/inicio/, category display with images. When you hover it says a number of products on that category. The string “products” is not present in Loco translate. I can’t locate it…
Is there something I’m missing?
Thanks
Hey DigitSigma,
I’ve noted to add this string into the .pot file in the next update, for now you can search for it in nectar/nectar-vc-addons/nectar-addons.php file in the function called “nectar_grid_item_markup”
Cheers
Hi and thanks for your amazing theme, which just keeps getting better and better!
I have hit a problem with the image carousel – I would like to show both vertical and horisontal images – but aligned at the same height! When I add both types now, the horisontal images are scaled to fit the width of the vertical ones instead.
Is there maybe a simple css-trick to add this functionality (same height instead of width)?
thank you so much, Maria
Hey Maria, thanks a lot for your kind words 
This would indeed require a snippet of css, but i’d be glad to provide you one if you can share the page URL in regards
Cheers
Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly, I’m so grateful
I intend to have it on my frontpage, so can’t send that link – but here is a test page to show you the issue: https://www.mariafynsknorup.com/carousel-test/
It will be amazing if you can come up with a css snippet give them same height!
Best regards, Maria
Hey Maria,
It would only be easily possible to alter the functionality when using the image gallery element with the “touch enabled and spaced (flickity)” gallery type selected.
Kindly change your carousel to use that and let me know the URL so I can assist 
Cheers
Thank you, I have changed it to flickity – the url is still https://www.mariafynsknorup.com/carousel-test/ Best regards, Maria
Thanks Maria,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.nectar-flickity:not(.masonry) .flickity-slider .cell img {
width: auto;
height: 500px;
}
.nectar-flickity.nectar-carousel[data-format="default"] .flickity-slider .cell {
width: auto!important;
}
Cheers 
Thank you ever so much! That did the trick, I’m so grateful!
Best regards
Maria
Glad I could help Maria 
Sorry to be a bother
But is it possible to make it look this way for devices too?
Hey MaFyNo, could you kindly share the page URL again where you’re building this – it looks like the previous page was deleted
Thanks in advance
Oh sorry, I didn’t realize that The carousel is now on the frontpage too, so you can use that url: https://www.mariafynsknorup.com/ Thank you for taking the time to help
Hey Maria,
Add this in as well 
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.nectar-flickity:not(.masonry) .flickity-slider .cell img {
width: auto;
height: 500px;
}
.nectar-flickity.nectar-carousel[data-format="default"] .flickity-slider .cell {
width: auto!important;
}
}
I actually already tried inputting this on my own, but it looks really weird on screen-sizes smaller than iPad. Either there’s a blank space after the first image (when you drag to go to next image) – or the images are all squeezed together as narrow layers
https://www.mariafynsknorup.com/ Could I pursuade you to take another look?
Sincere regards,
Maria
Hey MaFyNo, sorry I missed that!
Add this in to fix that:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
body .nectar-flickity:not(.masonry) .flickity-slider .cell img {
max-width: none!important;
}
}
Fantastic! That did it Thank you so very much again!
Glad to hear MaFyNo 
Is it possible to move the ‘heading’ and ‘caption’ more the the left hand corner of the slide when using the left hand horixontal alignement option? SO I want less space to the left of the heading/caption and below it?
Hey alisonleon, please share the URL of the page in question so I can take a look.
Thanks in advance
Hi, what header is used in this demo
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate-creative/#discoverI want to have cover image and overlay on it just like this demo.
Hey adiojack, you can find that section within the Salient Studio template library within the “hero section” tab. It’s titled “Creative Header With Shape Divider”.
Cheers
Hi! Since I updated Salient, our website will not load the first time I open it and shows the loading circle forever. I disabled Page Transitions and now I can see that the content + css does load, but the scripts only load after Refresh. Favicon keeps on loading as well.
Hey rowandg,
Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look
Thanks in advance
Hey rowandg,
I just tried loading your site a couple of times on 2 devices and have not been able to see this occur yet – is there a specific browser that you’re seeing it on?
Thanks
Hey, thanks for your reply. OK, here’s what I do in Google Chrome:
1. Open New Tab. 2. Type in the url in address bar: site loads fine. 3. Open New Tab. 4. Type in the url in address bar: scripts do not load, only after Refresh.
I can replicate this any time. It keeps happening 100% of the time I try this.
Hey rowandg, no matter how many times I try with new tabs or new windows I can’t seem to get this to occur. Are you also seeing it happen with the Salient demos?
Weird.. good to hear it works on your end of course. Salient demo’s work fine as well. Strange thing is, my co-worker can replicate the problem on his PC as well. mobile works fine though. It occurred right after updating everything (WP 5 / Salient 10 / WPBakery 5.6). WPBakery Front-end editor is broken as well, it only shows a white overlay with bakery logo… maybe something went wrong with the update process?
Hey rowandg,
If you’re using rocket loader from cloudflare, that will prevent the front end editor from working. Please disable that feature: https://help.mediavine.com/conflicts/cloudflare-rocket-loader-conflict
Since the new update with Salient, I can no longer edit with Salient visual page builder on any of my existing pages. Also, on mobile devices my home page comes out incomplete (front page does not show images etc). I have looked into all my plug ins to cover all my bases. How do I go about fixing this issue?
Hey cvaagen, have you also updated your version of the WPBakery page builder to the latest (v5.6)?
If so, please share your actual URL in regards so I can take a look at what’s occurring closer.
Thanks in advance
I have Salient WP Bakery Page Builder Version 5.5.2. It does not have an option to update, unless I pay for WP Bakery Page Builder. Is there a way around this, considering it came with the Salient theme?
my website: www.freelotusflower.com
Hey cvaagen, if you’re using v10 of Salient and not seeing the page builder update, please reach out 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
Hello. I have updated to the latest version, but I still cannot save any of the content block. What should I do? Really frustrating.
Hey Joagvr, if you’ve verified that no third party plugins you may have active are causing this, Please reach out via the contact form on my author page with temporary admin credentials so I can take a look https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Hi guys,
What do you use for your tabs? I need to modify the JS of them slightly, I thought they used jQuery UI but doesn’t appear to?
Thanks
Hey kleverthemes,
The tabs are not using any framework, the scripting for it is located inside the js/init.js file – you can run a search for the comment****** Tabbed ********to end up at the right section.
Cheers
Thank you very much
You’re welcome kleverthemes

I have found another bug with the new version of the theme. On iPad devices you cannot scroll to the bottom of the page, you can see this in all your demos, for example. http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate-creative/
You will realize that it cuts out the button and everything after it (footer, etc) iPad pro cuts out even more.
Hey peterstavrou,
I just tried to replicate in landscape and portrait views on an iPad/iPad pro but have not been able to see that occur yet https://ibb.co/c6Mm0sD https://ibb.co/YLvk6fdDoes this happen for you every load or only sometimes? Also, does it happen to you when the footer reveal effect is turned off e.g.
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate/Hi! I had asked about the font size of mainpage. I got answer of you guys. That’s not working. Can I get the another thing to do?
Additionally, we are using a minimal portfolio. thanx
The font size of mainpage means the letter on the picture for portfoilo.
Hey gdlsbeck,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body .portfolio-items[data-ps="8"]:not(.carousel) .col .inner-wrap .vert-center h3 {
font-size: 30px!important;
}
Cheers
hey, I made it. I got additional question. I wanna change font size of title on header image. How can I change that settings? thank u for your support.
Hey gdlsbeck,
Use the field “Page Heading Font” in the Salient options > typography > navigation & page header tab
Cheers
hi. I tried it. but I only can change font thickness not font size. Is there anything to do?
Hey gdlsbeck, could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
Thanks in advance
It is the url of the portfolio and that title is “2018 영광국제 e-모빌리티 엑스포” thank you alot
Hey gdlsbeck,
To alter the font size on a fullscreen header you’ll need to add the following into the css:
body.single:not(.material) #page-header-bg.fullscreen-header h1 {
font-size: 60px !important;
line-height: 70px !important;
}
Cheers
Thank you for reply!
You’re welcome gdlsbeck
