Hi, How to get my image background full width? : https://tkb.kleidi.nl/
Thanks!
Already solved this issue thanks. But I do have another question. I would like to add a background-color to my title’s in header images. So behind the title I would like an orange background, but only behind the title. Is this possible?
Hey Abbenhues, yes it would be possible with some css 
Could you share the actual URL of a page using one of the page headers where it’s just a BG color? As of now I don’t see any pages with a page
header except for a couple and they have BG images set: https://tkb.kleidi.nl/private-dining/
Thanks
Thanks! For example home page and private dining page. I would like to have the title inside the image like this image: https://ibb.co/s2J6g5Y . Can we paste some code to get this?
Thanks!
Hey Abbenhues,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body #page-header-bg h1 {
box-shadow: 0 0 0 5px #e8a638;
background-color: #e8a638;
display: inline;
line-height: 60px;
padding: 0;
}
Cheers
Hi, I’ve been using your great theme for years now. However I got a question.
On your demo http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog-ultimate/ I see this play button on the first article “Waking up early today” How can I play the video?
I don’t want it to redirect to a single page when clicking play button, but instead open the Lightbox, is that possible?
Much thanks Vidal
I cannot add a ticket , my support is over.
Hey Vidal,
Unfortunately there’s no functionality in the theme to launch a lightbox video from there – the icon is added when using the audio or video format to indicate the presence of a media file within the actual blog post. If you want the file to be playable from the blog grid, you’d need to use an older style for the masonry layout such as “classic”.
I’m trying to have my mobile header be permanently transparent. I checked out this Forum and I’ve noticed you said there is an option in Header Navigation > Transparent Header Effect – but I don’t see it. The latest comment I saw was from a year ago and I wonder if the latest version of Salient has put this setting elsewhere? Keep me posted please!
Hey aseachange, the option for “Header Permanent Transparent” is available in the Salient option > header navigation > transparent header effect tab, the only time it should not show is when using the “centered logo bottom bar” header layout. If you’re not using that, please 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
Hi there. Quick question my scroll functionality on booking page disappeared after updating to latest version. I have no option or scroll to access bottom content of my page. Please advice ?
http://richmondstudios.co/#BookingHey vybeagency,
I’m seeing the scrollbar appear/function normally on that page – could you let me know what browser you’re using and if you’ve already cleared the cache since the update?
Thanks in advance
Can you help me with the nav menu?
http://coneandcompass.com/It won’t start with a white font like I have set. On scroll the menu items are crossing over each other. How can I fix this?
Thanks!
Ah I fixed the first part. So now just need help with the menu items crossing over each other.
Hey michellecmurphy17,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.menu-item-with-margin {
margin-right: 180px!important;
}
.small-nav .menu-item-with-margin {
margin-right: 80px!important;
}
After adding a customer header and a blog masonry then identifying the page as a blog home page , all the customization disappeared? any thoughts?
Hey ehamouda,
The page header metabox will only be called on a regular page. If you use the blog element within the page builder as assign that as the front page it should still show. If that’s already your setup, please share your URL in regards so I can take a look.
Thanks in advance
Hey, any news / new ETA on latest major update?
Hey nothanksimgood, I still have your name on the list for a beta – i’ll be sending out a round within 1-2 weeks
I want to put up a Coming Soon page while I build the rest of the site. Does the theme have this option? If not which plugin would you recommend to let me use an existing wordpress page I built with Salient (rather than building out through the plugin’s settings)?
Hey rockstar47,
Salient offers a “No Header & Footer” page template, which you could assign as your home page.
Cheers
Hi, how we can change the WooCommerce cart icon in header? we like use other font awesome icon. Thanks

font-family: FontAwesome!important;
}

how can I duplicate template-portfolio.php? I’ve tried by simply duplicating it on the server and changing the template name. this makes the template show up in templates list but when i select it, it loses the Portfolio Settings box and looks bad when viewed in browser
Hey saruzaru,
There’s JS that controls whether or not the portfolio settings metabox displays – it’s located in salient/nectar/assets/js/nectar-meta.js and the function inside that file is called “portfolioDisplaySettings”.
You would also need to enqueue the portfolio styles via a child theme
function nectar_child_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'nectar-portfolio' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'nectar_child_styles' );
ah great. it worked somewhat with the nectar-meta.js, the box now shows on the portfolio clone but no longer shows on the original(the original still works well in the browser). also, where do i put these portfolio styles? i added the enqueue in the functions.php in my child theme folder, but somehow the portfolio items are invisible(like before i added these styles)
i’m getting this error in the console “Uncaught TypeError: $portfolio_containers[i].isotope” also
Hey saruzaru,
1. Could you please share the URL so I can take a look at the invisible items?
2. You would also need to enqueue the related isotope script – change your child theme snippet to:
function nectar_child_styles() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'isotope' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'nectar-portfolio' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'nectar_child_styles' );
Thanks in advance
but i’m only doing this because i need to know, in javascript, what portfolio category the page and items are. I couldn’t figure out a way to find this out, but i found a way to get the template name, which is not ideal but does the job. if you could tell me how to get the portfolio category in php, i can easily pass that to js and i wouldn’t need to duplicate template files etc
sorry for the comment spam but i didn’t use my 6months of support when i bought the theme, because i had something else to work on at the time and now i have time to work on my site but support for this theme ended 
i added the isotope enqueue to functions.php but nothing changes
Hey saruzaru,
I’m not seeing the child enqueue function working correctly on that URL – 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/themenectar
Thanks in advance
just sent a message
Thanks saruzaru
Is Salient fully compatible to the new Gutenberg Editor in Wordpress 5.x? Is there anything that isn’t supported?
Hey weinwerft, Salient does support the use of the Gutenberg editor, but does not add any custom blocks for it and also still uses the WPBakery page builder as the main editor. You can indeed use the Gutenberg editor if desired though.
Cheers
Love the simplicity and customizability of the theme. The two drawbacks I found is, Google Mobile-Friendly test shows this theme is not mobile friendly and few animations are only listed (as shortcodes) when you download specific demo’s only.
Hey techtastic,
1. If you’re site is not showing as mobile friendly, you likely need to just enable minifcation for the css/js to reduce the amount of requests. That test can timeout quickly and if it fails to load all assets, it will give warnings. https://search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly?id=KORy9sYW0FBVuqEFn0jFSQ
2. Can you elaborate further on what you mean by “few animations are only listed (as shortcodes)” – What elements are you referring to and which demo?
Thanks in advance
Hi, Thanks for the response
1. Can you guide how shall I do that using themepanel? I did check the documentation which mentioned about W3TC, but it’s kind of outdated as the options in W3TC are changed.
2. To name name I would say, animated underline effect.
Thank you
Hey techtastic,
1. You can use any minfiication plugin, though there is no minification option built into the theme itself. Here’s another one which require very little configuring: https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/ Can you also share your URL so I can take a look at what the mobile friendly test is saying in regards?2. I’m still not quite understanding what you’re referring to – are you talking about the animated underline effect from the header navigation? Are you having trouble finding where to enable it?
Hi,
1) I activated W3 Total Cache, realized it broke the entire website. Here’s the URL https://neeraj.design. I took the screenshot though. Have deactivated the plugin to make things normal.
2) Ah, if you visit this link http://preview.themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266 scroll midway to this sentence “Why We’re The Most Awesome eCommerce Business” here the word “Awesome” has underline css animation.
Hey,
1. It looks like you have a robots.txt file which is blocking the Googlegot: https://search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly?utm_source=gws&utm_medium=onebox&utm_campaign=suit&id=cEok9wNACoLseRrtzg_RTQ&view=fetch-infohttps://neerajbharwani.com/robots.txt 2. That element is called “Highlighted text” and is available within the page builder as of v9.0 when it was added: https://ibb.co/5cZphG7
And I made a page on my PC, but I can’t see the pictures well on my mobile phone. Do I have to make a separate mobile photo? What size is recommended to use Service Theme?
Hey YJK7858, please share your URL in regards so I can take a look at the images
Hey YJK7858,
there is no separate image upload for desktop and mobile when dealing with row background images – the same image will be used. We used images like this which are around 1800×1000: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-product/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/bg_com2.jpg
Purchased to use service theme. But Service Theme is not set to the homepage. How can I make it look right on my homepage?
Hey YJK7858,
After installing the Service demo, did you assign the homepage in WP admin > Settings > Reading? There’s a field for “Your homepage displays” – you need to select “a static page” and choose the landing page imported by the demo.
Cheers
Dear,
I’d like have a custom widget area above the regular footer space. This widget has to be full width. This of it as a sign up bar above the normal footer area. Is this possible within Salient?
Thanks!
Hey justinwust,
That would require modding to the footer.php file as of now if you’re not using the “1 column” footer layout
Cheers
support RTL?
Hey Sahebt_Alezar, Salient does support RTL, but there are some known styling issues that the next update will be fixing.
If you’re primarily using RTL, that update will be out later this month
Hi There,
I was wondering if you could please help me. The theme is great – I am looking to create a header navigation menu where the logo changes to a different version once the menu is on sticky mode – like this: https://bostoncalling.com/ Right now the menu I have on the website is on sticky and gets smaller when scrolling but do you know of any options I can change or code I can add to have a different version logo here?
Thanks in advance.
Jack
Hey Jack,
There’s a class that gets added when the header resize effect kicks in called “small-nav”. So if you added another logo via child theme customizations, you could control when it gets shown/hidden by targeting it with that class name.
Cheers
Hey,
Hope you are doing good. I seem to have a strange issue. I am currently using Masonry Classic layout. I am entering a manual excerpt for each post (I want this excerpt to show up in the RSS feed). When I enter a manual excerpt for an article, the theme seems to be displaying that excerpt instead of the complete post. I want the complete post to be displayed in the masonry homepage instead of the excerpt. Cn you please help me with this. Thanks in advance.
Hey ashwani9,
To have the full content display instead of the excerpt when setting an excerpt would require modding to the includes/post-templates/entry.php file at this section:
if ( empty( $post->post_excerpt ) && $use_excerpt != 'true' ) {
the_content( '<span class="continue-reading">' . __( 'Continue Reading', 'salient' ) . '</span>' );
}
it would need to be altered to be:
if ( $use_excerpt != 'true' ) {
the_content( '<span class="continue-reading">' . __( 'Continue Reading', 'salient' ) . '</span>' );
}
Cheers
Hey ,
I tried this, but it is still not working. Can you please help.

Hi
Can you please specify what is the recommended image size for the Pristine Team module – 1.For the image on the team display- screenshot: https://snag.gy/IWM0uj.jpg and 2.For the side image for the member display- screenshot: https://snag.gy/V1gQax.jpg
Hey udid2
The small picture will be displayed at 500×500 and the larger one will always be the full height of the screen and half the width – we used image sizes around 800×1000 for that.
Cheers
Hello!
Compilation failed: invalid range in character class at offset 11 in /var/www/u0448991/data/www/yarasheva.ru/wp-content/plugins/js_composer_salient/include/autoload/hook-vc-grid.php on line 163
Hey Nicko_217, you need to update your version of Salient to the current release (10.0.3) and then update your Salient WPBakery page builder as well to the latest release (5.7). That will give you the fix for the issue you’ve mentioned which is related to using PHP 7.3.
Cheers
