Hey, Is there a way to have social icons in one column floating on the left side of the page? Not in the header, just on the side of the page.
Thanks
Hey Simopagano,
Unfortunately there’s no built in option for that as of now. I would recommend looking for a social plugin in the meantime.
Cheers
Hi, How can I add a custom font to the theme? Where do I add it?
Hey apinzon, please see this resource in regards: https://themenectar.ticksy.com/article/9773/edit/
Hi, Do I need to have all of the file formats? I only have OTF. Thanks!
Hey apinzon, most browsers will be able to render the font with just that format supplied: https://caniuse.com/?search=otf
Kind regards,
Hi guys, is there a way to enable the page numbers on the blog post elements? At the mo it’s just infinite scroll of the next/previous page. Looking to have it more like the comments section on here! Thanks
Hey createdesignsuk,
in the Salient options panel > blog > functionality tab, make sure you have the option enabled for “Display Pagination Numbers”
Cheers
Hey! You fixed a beta to me a few months ago to fix so that youtube posts did not become oblong. Has it been fixed in the real version now?
Hey AlexanderMJ! No – that fix will be in the next release. The previous minor release we put out was only for a few specific but important items.
Cheers
Hi, the Page Submenu is shifting to the right and then disappearing completely when you scroll on this page https://www.shyoga.be/classes/ even though I have selected it to be sticky.
Please advise. Many thanks!
Hey enomen, currently there can only be one sticky page submenu used on a page at a time. Can you please remove the other instance and allow me to take a look again?
Thanks in advance
Hi, apologies for slow reply, have been away. Was testing with using the second page submenu and now removed. Thanks!
No worries enomen 
The parent column which is holding your page submenu element currently has an animation set of “fade-in-from-bottom” – can you try disabling that? That’s most likely what is preventing the sticky css rules from working correctly.
Cheers
Fixed! Thank you so much 
You’re welcome enomen 
Is there a way to adjust the cursor position on the Header search option? The cursor moves and effectively causes the text to enter from right to left instead of left to right. I can temporarily fix it by removing this line from init.js: $(’#search input[type=text]’).setCursorPosition(0); This works temporarily, but it means that users need to have their browser’s cache cleared to see the fix, and I have to remove the code again any time the theme is updated. Is there a better way to fix this in the child theme? This is my site: http://www.brooklife.org
Hey Csisker, this issue will be fixed in the next release – if you’d like a copy of the beta please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks in advance
Dear Support Team, i would like to add a link to the bio of the members on my website. now, using the team member element and adding html or a shortcode to the Team Member Bio doesn’t work. is there a way i can make it work, also a Tag would be enough for me to get this done, hopefully you can help me out here. Best,
Stephan
Hey Stephan, Have you tried to use an anchor with single quotes for the href attribute like so? https://pastebin.com/xJWS8d83
Cheers
Thank you for your reply, sadly, when adding an anchor the whole text disappears on the front end. in this case the whole bio itself :/
Hey Stephan,
I’m sorry about that – unfortunately that field will not allow HTML by default due to the WordPress limitations for shortcode attributes, which is how that field is stored in the page. However we’ve noted your +1 for the wishlist to create a workaround
Does anyone know which Typography item that controls the Font Style / Size for the Image Title/Caption when image gallery is set to Meta Below Thumb w/ Links on Over?
Driving me crazy! Thanks!!
Hey svtmuscle, that style will use the “heading 4” field in the general html elements tab. The caption will simply use the body font. However, if you’re looking to define a custom size for that, css would be needed.
Hi Themenectar! Im getting this pesky white-space problem whenever I upload a portfolio image, does it have to have an exact dimension for the grid to appear seamless? It seems that if an image is slightly different from the next one, the grid shows empty white spaces in between. I’ve tried resizing the images but sometimes it just doesnt go away! http://www.bcnuej.org/media/ Thx in advance =)
Hey anagcan, when using the “Custom Thumbnail Image” upload field, Salient does not crop the image at all. If you upload images at any different dimensions, spaces will appear. If you’re trying to have a seamless grid you should use the default featured image upload instead
Hi, Where can I enter my Google Maps API key? Thanks
Hey RaphaelLaurent23, you can do so in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab.
Cheers
I’m not able to diagnose this issue, but my site continues to load a background video twice on page load, the same video, one with a ?id=1234 but I cannot figure out why or how to remove this.

Header Secondary Navigation – Sticky and Show on Mobile. How to make the secondary nav sticky on desktop? Also, Is it possible to show on mobile? Is it possible to make it sticky on mobile?
I didn’t purchase the theme, but took over a website that has it installed.
Hey blakemiller,
The secondary header bar will remain fixed when scrolling when using the original or ascend theme skin. It would however require custom CSS to get it to show on mobile since it’s inherited into the mobile menu by default.
Thank you! Would you be able to guide me with the custom CSS. I’ve seen many examples but none fitting my scenario. Here is site – https://varioproductions.com/
Hey blakemiller,
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) {
body.material #header-secondary-outer {
display: block;
height: auto!important;
}
}
Thank you! That got the nav bar to show up on mobile. But it is not sticky. Is it possible to get it sticky on mobile?
Also, this site is setup on Material skin. Is it not possible to keep top nav bar sticky on it – with custom CSS or other way?
Hey again blakemiller, keeping the secondary header sticky on mobile would require custom development at this time.
Hi there, I would like to hide the category blog title and thin line on page header. Thanks.
Hey marcosimonetti,
Could you share your URL in regards so I can take a look at what settings you’re using to assist?
Thanks in advance
Hi there
Example where title, category and line should be hidden bubmag.com/category/global-warming
and portfolio scrolling is jerky (bubmag.com) when loading over 20 Projects, especially on mobile, I tried to set pagination to infinite scroll or default but no success. Using default pagination (20 project per page) works only till second page. Any ideas to make scrolling smoother?
Thanks!!!!
Hey marcosimonetti,
1. Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body.archive.category .page-header-no-bg { display: none; }
2. Deactivate the option you currently have turned on within that page for “Activate Fullscreen Rows” in the “Page full screen rows” metabox.
Cheers
Hi there my website www.thefictionstoryroom.com receives a fatal error when trying to upgrade the theme from 10.01 to 10.0.3 I had this issue a few weeks ago when you released an update for 10.0.2 and thought I resolved it but I guess not. The fatal error message I get is Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘nectar/tgm-plugin-activation/class-tgm-plugin-activation.php’ (include_path=’.:/opt/remi/php70/root/usr/share/pear:/opt/remi/php70/root/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php’) in /home/content/a2pnexwpnas01_data03/20/2628520/html/wp-content/themes/salient/functions.php on line 117
Hey JayCarver, it sounds like you upgrade was incomplete as one of the theme files is missing. Have you tried to manually upload the newest version using FTP?
The testimonial slider is awesome. In the “single testimonial” section within the tab, is it possible to add a hotlink option within the quote? I would like to have some of the text linked to another page. Thanks.
Hey blazoneer,
Have you tried to use a raw HTML anchor tag like so? https://pastebin.com/xJWS8d83
Cheers
Yes, I just tried it. It doesn’t work. Inserting any raw HTML into the tab on the testimonial slider deletes teh text and leaves the quotation marks.
Hey blazoneer, I’m sorry about that – unfortunately that field will not allow HTML by default due to the WordPress limitations for shortcode attributes, which is how that field is stored in the page. However we’ve noted your +1 for the wishlist to create a workaround
Hi,
I have a question – on a clean and somewhat empty site the load time when editing products is over 11 seconds. It waits and waits for the WP Bakery thing to make the “Backend / Frontend” editor buttons available. I’ve tried to deactivate many plugins and settings but no noticable help.
I’m running latest WP, latest Woo, latest PHP, all themes and plugins updated, 256M PHP memory limit, I have a 500mbps internet connection and I have a new Macbook Pro and I’m using Chrome.
I can see the inspector tells me there is 188 requests(!) and 8.6mb data(!) for a single product and it’s not the images fault as it’s two images below 100kb. Is it just the way it’s supposed to be or am I doing something seriously wrong?
Is it supposed to be faster?
Hey R8Edge,
WPBakery does add additional weight to the edit page screen, however it should not be that much or take that long to load. Could you 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
Also, if you’re not using the page builder for that post type, you can disable the editor from being loaded in the WPbakery page builder settings > role manager tab by unchecking the “product” post type box.
Unchecking the product post type box helped a lot. Now we’re down to 4 seconds and thats acceptable. Thank you!
You’re welcome R8Edge 
Just a thought for your late april update, maybe try and get the mobile to a better page speed score. Just saying because I love this theme so much, and would make my life easier in the future! http://prntscr.com/ncffqy
Hey SiteTonight,
Salient will indeed have better pagespeed scores in the next release, however the screenshot you’ve shared is using a demo which does not have css/js minfication or caching active (for testing purposes). Here’s a demo that does: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fthemenectar.com%2Fdemo%2Fsalient-slider-portfolio%2F&tab=mobile
Cheers
Hey guys, I love the theme and have purchased more than one license. But can you please change the theme code for next and previous posts so that the next post is actually the next (i.e. newer post) instead of the previous post?
Every time I update the theme, I have to go in and change your code to fix this. Your code (in nectar/helpers/blog.php around line 247) is currently:
// next & prev
$previous_post = get_next_post();
$next_post = get_previous_post();
So I have to correct it to:
$previous_post = get_previous_post(); $next_post = get_next_post();
PLEASE would you bake this into the theme code moving forward to make previous posts be previous posts and next posts be next posts so that I don’t have to manually fix this each time? TIA
Hey PeterHoppe,
there will be a theme option to choose the order of that in next release 
Cheers
Ok, perfect. Thanks!
You’re welcome PeterHoppe 
Hi. I have Salient for quite some time and I have just used it on a different domain. I am having trouble with the Demo Importer. It’s not importing correctly. It misses images and layout settings in some of the demos.
Is it anything related to the new version?
Hey Cobawsky,
Which of the demos are you having issues importing and is there a way you can share the URL in regards so I can see what was imported?
Thanks in advance
Hey Cobawsky, Is it the startup demo which you imported last?
If so, the pages included with that appear to have been imported correctly from my end: http://www.animedvotorantim.com.br/startup-home/http://www.animedvotorantim.com.br/startup-about/

Hey, Just wanted to check if there was any way for inline text content to be displayed in the included Magnific lightbox? It seems to be possible with the available documentation online, but nothing I’ve tried has worked. Thanks
Hey ND81,
When editing your images in the media library, you can use the “Description” field within each image for that. The text will then be displayed when using a lightbox only portfolio
Cheers
Thanks for the quick response, I probably didn’t explain so clearly. I’m hoping to only display a block of text (i.e. no image, just text); is there any way to do this within the package included in the theme?
Hey ND81,
Unfortunately there’s no built in element to take advantage of the lightbox script in that way, it would require adding it in a custom manner
