Hi,
I am using WP 5.0.3 and Salient 10.0.1 But i can’t find the Salient WPBakery Page Builder in the Appearance > install plugins tab.
I have no other Version installed. It is completely new installation.
Anyone know the problem?
Problem solved 
Hey DIIWOO,
Glad to hear you sorted it 
When using the Envato Market plugin along with the Salient Theme from Theme Forest, after the 12 months support is finished, will Envato Market still notify me that the Salient Theme has an update available or do I need to purchase more support?
Hey stratefx, a current support package is not needed to continue to get Salient updates, one license will provide free updates for life.
Cheers
Great Theme Once Again!
I’m just wondering what would be the best way to change the hamburger menu icon?
Would it be CSS or trying to find the icon?
Thanks!
Glad you’re still enjoying it gdavz 
Are you trying to swap it with an image? If so, this can be achieved through CSS. Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look at your current settings to provide an example snippet?
Thanks in advance
Thanks!
I can do a image or a fontawesome Icon
My settings are :
Off Canvas Menu: On Dropdown Behavior: Dropdown Parent Link Submenu
No problem gdavz,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body .lines-button { visibility: hidden; }
.slide-out-widget-area-toggle a {
background-image: url('YOUR_IMG.png');
}
Thanks! It works awesome!
Glad to hear gdavz 
Hi , After the new Update of WP i cant see or edit pages with Your Visual Composer. What could i do for solve this problem? Thanks a lot.
Hey New_Ra,
You need to be using the latest version of Salient (v10) as well as the latest version of the Salient WPBakery page builder formerly known as Visual Composer (v5.6) in order to ensure WP 5.0 compatibility. Please check out the article we’ve written on the topic here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/
Cheers
Thank You so much! You have solve my “issue”. Have a nice days
Glad I could help New_Ra 
Any help much appreciated.
Hey MarcGarner,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body .nectar-shape-divider-wrap[data-position="top"] {
top: 1px;
}
Cheers
That’s great thanks, fixed that problem.
Only issue is that at the right bottom of the black diagonal section the shape divider doesn’t go all the way to the edge of the screen on mobile, and a line of the orange background shows through. Is there a fix for this or something I need to do different with the shape divider? Thank you
Hey MarcGarner, which device are you using to see that on? Currently I have not been able to replicate on an iPhone X https://ibb.co/T1JYjkZ
Hi, I am viewing on iPhone XS – https://ibb.co/PGyw2Pz
I get the same thing when using safari or the google app.
Hi, I am viewing on iPhone XS – https://ibb.co/PGyw2Pz
Same issue whether using safari or google app. Seems like the shape divider doesn’t quite reach all the way to the edge on the left.
Hey MarcGarner,
Add in this as well:
html body .full-width-section > .nectar-shape-divider-wrap {
margin-left: -51vw;
left: 50%;
width: 102vw;
}
Cheers
Awesome, thanks works great.
Cheers MarcGarner
Salient keeps overriding it’s own font sizes on my pages, so h1’s (for example) that are set at 52px, are displaying at like 28px, regardless of how many overrides I try to put in the CSS, e.g. http://roadblip.com/test-post/ . Seems a bit unreasonable to have to pay for more ‘support’ for something that is seemingly a bug :’(
Hey chrispattison,
I’m currently seeing that the font is set to 58px and applying to desktop the font does indeed shrink on mobile devices – is that what you’re referring to or are you seeing a value less than 58px on desktop as well?
hey, in the end I tried exporting, resetting and importing the theme settings but that didn’t work. So I then screenshotted all of them, reset them all and re-enter them manually and that solved it. Took a few hours but got there in the end! I guess some kind of database issue, it is wordpress afterall! ... I think you saw it after I’d already fixed most of the issues, thanks for the response though 
Hey chrispattison, glad to hear you got it sorted it out.
Have a good weekend 
What can I do to fix the background, is there any possibility or trick? I would be incredibly thankful for any support many thanks!!
Hey RaffaelaChiara,
Could you kindly share the actual URL in regards so I can take a look? I can’t quite make out what the URL is from the images
Thanks in advance
Hello,
Thank you very much for the quick reply! Since the site is currently under maintenance and the page in question is a shop page, unfortunately I could not exclude the shop page with the plugin. But it works for a test page: https://www.living-soulful.com/test-page/I’ve used the content the same way it is on the shop page, if you scroll down, you’ll see products with a background in the content area, this one is about. In the mobile view, the background is not fixed, totally pixelated or blurry. In the desktop mode, of course, everything is wonderfully visible. Regardless of whether it’s on the shop page or not, I generally have background issues, so if more content is included, the background will naturally get more and more ‘zoomed in’, or just pixelated. Unfortunately I do not know any advice to fix the background a little bit. With little content, of course, I have absolutely no problems.
Maybe you have some advice or an idea to fix the background or to look more beautiful in the mobile view.
Many thanks for the support !!
Hey RaffaelaChiara, thanks for sharing that. Unfortunately since background-position:fixed is disabled in mobile browsers it would be hard to workaround that https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23236158/how-to-replicate-background-attachment-fixed-on-ios
One possible solution is to make use of the option “Background Image Mobile Hidden” when editing your rows which have this to simply remove it on mobile devices and use a solid BG color instead. You can also test out using other speeds for the background parallax such as “slow”, “fast” etc. those will continue to work on all devices
Hello,
Thank you, unfortunately, nothing helped, see here an example: https://www.shopkristhecat.com/shop On all sides the background is fixed, especially in the mobile view, how is that possible? As far as I can see the site provider ’’ Wix ’’ is used. But what if I set a body / page background for one side, then the same problem is also in the mobile view? What if you do not put a background in a row section, but a background for the whole page? Can not that be fixed? For example, this css code works, but even with codes to fix the background does not work. body. container-wrap { background-image: url (’.....’); }
Total pixelated and the same course in the mobile view. Unfortunately, I have not seen any function in the salient theme settings to set a page background, just header backgrounds. I’ve seen so many pages that they use page backgrounds that look quite normal in the mobile view, do you know how that’s possible? Maybe you can add that for the next update, because that’s a really important tool to be able to work proffesionally too.
I hope you still have some advice? Many many hanks for your help!!
Pleaae can someone get back to me urgently regarding ticket number#1883205 and #1883213. The fonts/icons /menus/layouts etc and lots of other issues are not correct on most broswers and this needs to be fixed asap. Please can someone respond? Many thanks
After wriring a long detailed issue of my problem I get a responce sayiing ‘Must be a caching issue’ from Tahir.
This isnt a CACHING issue, as we have deleted the cache.
There is no advice or help whatsoever and its quite obvious this issues wasn’t checked properly.
If you have support which we have to pay for, please actaully support us, not give a 3 word answer saying it ‘must’ be this, when it isnt.
Can someone else please check this ticket please from your support that we have just paid for, currently we are not getting proper detailed answers or support.
Hey pbmlimited, I took a look over your tickets earlier today in regards. Thanks for your patience
Hello,
How can I make one column for my portfolio template and pages? Looking to have one very wide image per row.
www.jordantparrott.com
Thanks.
Additionally – How to I get a full screen image or video background. Is it possible to crossfade between multiple images in a full screen background?
Hey VisionRover,
1. There is no option for a 1 column portfolio, the minimum columns offered without custom CSS is 2. There’s also a recent project style for a full width project slider http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-slider-portfolio
2. There is no option built into the row BGs for a slideshow of images and videos – this would require the use of a Nectar Slider instance. If you’re just trying to set a image or video as a row BG, there are options when editing any row to assign an image or video and make it fullscreen https://ibb.co/wc1b1qk
Thanks. any custom code to obtain the 1 column portfolio?
Hey VisionRover,
When setting the portfolio element to “2 columns”, add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body .row .portfolio-items .col img { max-width: none; width: 100%; }
.portfolio-items .col.span_6, .portfolio-items[data-ps="6"] .col.span_6 {
width: 100%!important;
}
Thanks. Worked. Now I just need the front page to do the same:
Category pages: http://www.jordantparrott.com/project-type/narrative/ Home: http://www.jordantparrott.com
The Home page has the portfolio in the the Page Builder Element. It is set at 2 column portfolio.
Hey VisionRover,
I’m seeing that on your home page there is only a recent projects element using the fullscreen slider and no regular portfolio element: http://www.jordantparrott.com/ Is that the correct URL?
I need help with some custom CSS in the header. I need to change the “Featured Listings” and “Sold Listings in my navigation header to bold font. I have tried to override the CSS but haven’t been successful yet.
The site is: http://johncashin.com/
Hey warcowan,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
header#top nav >ul >li:nth-child(2) > a, header#top nav >ul >li:nth-child(3) > a {
font-weight: 700;
}
Hi, I want to display one row on desktop and another version on mobile. Did that on the responsive options, however the desktop version is set as full height and still appears on mobile. If I remove the full height option it disappears on mobile, but I want to keep it full height on desktop. Is it possible to fix? Thanks
Hey fredmkt,
As of now that would require giving the row itself a class name e.g. “mobile-hidden” and then adding 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) {
.mobile-hidden { display: none; }
}
Cheers
I updated Wordpress and my plugins, and suddenly the Salient theme visual editor components appear as a long, solid block of text?
The visual editor where it lets you add new elements or components still appears, but it now appears at the bottom of this huge block of text (and it says I have a “blank page” – none of the previous work I built is showing up as visual elements anymore. Thus, I can’t even edit or update that content.
Has anyone else run into this?
(TL/DR: the website itself appears online just fine, but the editor components are all gone and appear only as text).
Hey aashishkjha, you also need to update your version of Salient to the current release (v10.0.1) as well as your Salient WPBakery Page Builder to the current release (5.6) in order to have WP 5.0 compatibility. http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/

Hi – I am using meta overlaid with zoom effect on hover. The overlay is working on my computer but doesn’t seem to be working on mobile which makes it pretty difficult to read the portfolio titles. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Hey AkeatsKes,
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) {
.portfolio-items .col .work-item.style-3 .work-info-bg { display: block; }
}
Much better. Thank you!
Glad I could help AkeatsKes 
One quick follow-up, is it possible to leave a little overlay (like .2 opacity) on the portfolio item even after hover? Once you hover over the portfolio item, it’s a bit tough to read with zero opacity. I’m referring to when you view this on a computer – the mobile solution you gave me is still working great. Thanks!
Hey AkeatsKes,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.portfolio-items .col .work-item.style-3 .work-info-bg {
opacity: 0.45!important;
}
.portfolio-items .col:hover .work-item.style-3 .work-info-bg {
opacity: 0.2!important;
}
Cheers 
thanks!
You’re welcome AkeatsKes 
Hi there,
Can you tell me how i can make a portfolio view like this:
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-minimal-portfolio/I can not find this anywhere.
What settings do i need to use?https://www.useloom.com/share/ecde1a77874e4fa897025d1a81de708e
Hey ruimdenker,
Here are the settings for that portfolio instance: https://ibb.co/VwTRQgL When using the masonry option, you can then define the masonry sizes per project with the “Masonry Item Sizing” option in each edit project > project configuration metabox.
Cheers
how to add tags to portfolio pages?
Hey Nicko_217, by default there are no tags for the portfolio post type. You would need to edit the nectar/helpers/portfolio.php file in regards and then query for the tags within the portfolio post type as needed.
Loving version 10
I’ve noticed that whenever updating between versions, plugins (menu plugins etc.) will often loose their settings in the ‘WP Customize’ area, and it appears to be theme-side. Is there a way to avoid this?
& Second that on the comment above re Parallax – that’s a really elegant effect 
Hey ND81, glad to hear 
Are you experiencing everything losing settings within the customize area including the default WP settings or just plugins you have active? Could you let me know what method you’re using to update Salient as well?
Cheers
I’ve just been manually uploading (so possibly this is it). It’s just a couple of the active plugins, so it really isn’t a big deal.
Hey ND81, thanks for clarifying – next update give the Envato market plugin a shot http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/
Will do, thanks
Also, is there anyway for your ‘Down Arrow’ function on the Salient slideshow to work with the ‘Full Screen Page Rows’ display (i.e. clicking takes the user to the next panel)?
Hey ND81,
As of version 10, you can add a call to action page builder element and then select the “next section button” style for that.
Cheers
Hi Guys,
Not exactly a support question but a feature request.
When are we going to see some multi-speed parallax effects like this on salient? https://curenails.co/We have been using salient for the better part of two years now! Always loved the quality of the product and the support. Thanks!
Hey bachuramadhikari,
Thanks for the request! I’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist 
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar,
My support has expired, but I was hoping you might be able to help me out with one question.
I am using a plugin named ScrollMagic to add some scroll effects to my website. So far, so good. I have run into a roadblock when I try to manipulate the background image of a row.
The row is full-width, full-height and I have loaded the background image through visual composer. I am trying to input the selectors into ScrollMagic so the background image only will zoom in on scroll (I am using scale to do this), but not any of the elements/text that I have added to the row. Currently I am able to get it to zoom in on scroll, but all of the elements in the row zoom equally.
Can you let me know what selector(s) I would use to target only the background image?
Thanks very much!
Hey newb80,
The background layer within each row can be selected with
.row-bg-wrap .row-bg
Cheers
Thank you very much, that did it!
Glad I could help newb80 
Hi!
I have some questions concerning this theme.
1. How do I get rid of the background color of the menu hover and current item? I tried several css elements, but nothing seems to work out. See https://www.multibier.nl.
2. How to translate the text, e.g. ‘Next Post’, ‘Category’, on the blog pages? I edited these texts with the plugin Loco Translate, but that didn’t change a thing. See a single blog item on https://www.multibier.nl/actueel/.
I hope to hear from you. Many thanks!
Hey totallysandra 
1. In the Salient options panel > Header navigation > animation effects, select “color change” for the option “Header Link Hover/Active Effect”
2. In the plugin settings (Loco Translate > Themes > Salient > Advanced) Did you set the “nectar_salient_strings.pot” as you template file to generate the .po from?
Cheers
Hi there,
The shape divider is leaving a 1px gap on certain screen sizes. Is there some way of forcing it to overlap slightly as it is quite distracting?
Screen grab here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/049ruug1uo1zgsz/WhatsApp%20Image%202019-02-04%20at%2017.04.40.jpeg?dl=0Thanks Elliot
Hey Elliotj, could you kindly share the URL in regards where that’s occurring so I can take a closer look?
Thanks in advance
Thanks Elliot
it only appears on certain screen sizes if you cant see it resize the window and it seems to appear. (happens to appear on my clients macbook screen size)
Thanks Elliotj,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body .nectar-shape-divider-wrap {
bottom: -3px;
}
