Hello, is there a way to overwrite this call: vc_lean_map(‘nectar_blog’, null, $nectar_template_dir . ’/nectar/nectar-vc-addons/nectar_maps/nectar_blog.php’); ? I managed to get custom post types to work with the Visual Composer but I need to add a dropdown for the blog component in the admin.
Thank you in advance.
Hey midfieldco, you can use this in a child theme functions.php:
add_action('vc_before_init', 'salient_child_custom_maps');
function salient_child_custom_maps() {
vc_remove_element("nectar_blog");
}
Cheers
Hi there,
I’m looking to overwrite the map.js file in the js folder in order to add snazzy maps styling. I want to overwrite it within my child theme however (so I would have /themes/salient-child/js/map.js). Is this possible by dequeuing the script or any other way?
Thank you
Hey roketto,
That particular script is late enqueued through the element itself, so it would harder to dequeue in a child theme. I’ve noted it on the to-do list to register it within the default theme enqueue-scripts.php to avoid this issue.
Cheers
Can I change the background color of the header to darker colors on the shop pages? Would like to know before I buy another license. Need to build a dark themed webshop and love Salient, but haven’t figured out how I change the background color of the header to dark on shop pages.
Hey FrederikBaastrup,
Are you talking about the header navigation or the header visible below that on archive pages? (where the “all products” is shown here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce-ultimate/shop/
I’m talking about the product pages. For example: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce-ultimate/product/alexandria-shirt/. Is it possible to make the header in dark mode here?
Hey FrederikBaastrup,
Salient has the option to change the header navigation bar to any color scheme desired, but there is also a predefined dark option. However, it is a global setting so the header would be dark for every page of the site rather than just in the shop

Hi,
We are having repeated issues on our site when choosing images from the image gallery. It keeps saying “Connection lost. Saving has been disabled until you’re reconnected. We’re backing up this post in your browser, just in case.” It works if we select a single image widget, but the second we use the image gallery widget it deselects all of the images, becomes unresponsive, and that message is displayed.
Even closing the window and simply trying to access the public side of the website is completely unresponsive.
We are on the latest version of Wordpress, and on the latest version of Salient (10.004)
Can you please help?
We are also hosted by Godaddy and are on the economy plan
Hey hingedigital, this has been a long standing potential issue for that element from the core of the WPBakery page builder plugin. It occurs due to the plugin logic sending a separate request to the server for every image that is contained in the gallery, which some shared hosting end up hanging on when there’s many images. However, thankfully and coincidentally the plugin developer just released an update today which seems to sort that issue: https://kb.wpbakery.com/docs/preface/release-notes/ – we will be updating the Salient version of the plugin very soon to incorporate it.
Cheers
Hi Salient. Has this issue been addressed in the latest version of the WP bakery plugin? We have updated to 10.5.3 and still experience the same issues. Please advise asap. it is crippling our site. Thanks!
Hey hingedigital, this issue has been corrected in the current release of WPBakery, which Salient will be adding the next release due out very soon. If you’d like access to that version
of the page builder right now, please reach out via the contact form on my author page so I can shoot you a copy 
https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
I sent you a message thought your contact form. Thanks for the response and file!
Thanks hingedigital – I just sent a copy your way
Cheers
How did you make the fade from bottom behind a mask? Seen in the product version of the presentation. The one with a bike
Hey JanKorgaard,
In the Salient options panel > page transitions tab, change the “Transition Effect” to “Center mask reveal”
Cheers
Question: Divider – Full Width Lines
Lines either disappear or the dividing height is ignored and they end up smooshed together…
Many thanks!
Hey ashlingmoss1,
could you kindly share a URL showing the issue you’re referring to so I can take a closer look?
Thanks in advance
Hello,
Is there some css I can use to manipulate my slider height from media queries 1300px to 1000px(small desktop)?
At these media queries I would like the height: 325px as it’s too large at the moment, and cuts off the banner below.
So I would like flexible height to take affect anything above 1300px and below 1000px. Also, the text content on the slider seems to break on smaller devices (mobile and tablet) when aligned right in slider settings, see screenshot: http://tinyurl.com/y6kn67qh
Would it be possible to have a fix for this as well?
Many thanks,
Sophie
https://www.atboilers.co.uk/Hey Sophie,
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: 1300px) and (min-width: 1000px) {
.nectar-slider-wrap, .swiper-container, .swiper-wrapper, .swiper-slide {
height: 500px!important;
}
.swiper-slide[data-x-pos="right"] .content {
top: 50%!important;
transform: translateY(-50%)!important;
}
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
.nectar-slider-wrap[data-full-width="false"]:not([data-parallax="true"]) .swiper-slide[data-x-pos="right"] .content {
padding: 0!important;
}
}

Hello, We are trying to left align our secondary navigation text.
See: https://i.imgur.com/PXE32uO.png
How would we do this?
Hey wilsonhuang92,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body #header-secondary-outer .nectar-center-text {
max-width: 100%;
text-align: left;
padding-left: 20px;
}

I have searched the theme files and can’t find the one that controls the layout for recent blog posts. Could you help point me in the right direction?
Hey blaker19,

Thanks
You’re welcome blaker19
Hi. How can I remove footer widget area from all blog posts, but still keep copyright area? Thanks
Hey atlantchiropractic,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.archive #footer-widgets,
.blog #footer-widgets,
.single-post #footer-widgets {
display: none;
}
Thank you. Worked like a charm.
You might want to add this to the theme’s options
Glad I could help atlantchiropractic
Hello! I have some problems with the mobile menu for automatic closing with the use of a single page with anchors. I have not updated this theme. the problem is with the second and third menu item The url of my site is: http://bit.ly/2JDxyT3
Any recommendation for resolve this?
Hey GENEXP
That issue has been resolved with the current theme version. If you do not update, it would require a javascript modifcation in order to trigger the close on a click event. Is there any reason you’ve opted not to update?
i don´t want lose any configuration, If I update it, do I run that risk? Thanks
About the javascript modification to close on a click, can you tell me in what file need do this?
Hey GENEXP,
No, you will not lose any theme options when updating as they are stored in the database. The file responsible for the functionality is salient/js/init.js
Cheers
Hello! I’m working in a new project where my client needs some functionality to show blog posts in homepage. I wonder if your product can handle post grids with the possibility to show full post content in light box or in collapsible way, loading full content without leaving the homepage. Here`s an example of the actual client’s site with the functionality he wants to maintain: https://cl.ly/d972deb4060a Thanks!
Hey leowys,
Unfortunately there’s no built in functionality within Salient to load post content like that as of now
Cheers
Please see the Recent Post blog (3 by 3) at https://newdesigntest.org/marc-testing-2. The featured images for the respective posts don’t have consistent dimensions. Is there a way to use CSS or something else to make each image area take up the same height, even if the image itself is less or more in height? My goal is for the text below the images to begin at the same height level for a neater look and feel, without having to manually resize or reupload every single featured image. Thanks for your help.
Hey marcfest,
You could use CSS like this, however it would end up cropping your images:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
.blog-recent .col img {
height: 285px;
width: auto;
max-width: none;
}
}
Cheers
When I apply thew code it looks like this: https://newdesigntest.org/test-marc – some of the images extend in width beyond where they should go if you know what I mean… Any way to avoid this? Thank you.
Hey marcfest,
You could prevent that with this:
.blog-recent .col {
overflow: hidden;
}
Cheers
Thank you!!!
You’re welcome marcfest
Hello, I’m having a problem on a WP site with Salient installed that for some reason displays rows in single column format only, even if I set them to be two or three columns. Please check out https://newdesigntest.org/testing-3. The three text blocks should be displayed in three columns next to one another in a single row, and not one above the other as is the case right now. Here’s a screenshot of the backend editor view: http://mf.ly/d62 – which shows the three columns. How do I fix this behavior? As always, thanks for your help.
Hey marcfest,
The markup that I see within the HTML is not normal for the Salient WPBakery page builder. i.e. the columns have the class “wm-column width-1-3” instead of “vc_col-sm-4 wpb_column”, so something in your setup must be modifying the WPBakery functionality and overriding Salient
I’m working on a site (http://bv1.994.myftpupload.com) and I like the styling of the hover trigger slide out off canvas nav, but is there a way with custom css to have the off canvas menu triggered by clicking the hamburger menu instead of hovering?
Hey cgroce93,
Unfortunately to alter the functionality of how that menu is triggered would require modding to the js/init.js file in regards.
Hi TN,
How can I add Instagram as an option in the Social Media short codes? I see Nectar Love, Facebook, Twitter, etc., but no Instagram. By the way Google+ is still an option to add in Social Buttons (wpbakery) and Google is not offering the Google+ social network any more.
Why don’t you offer all social network icons that I can enter the links for in the Salient settings?
Please help, thanks!
Hey htusco,
1. We have already removed the G+ option in the current beta, which will be available in the official release this month. 2. The social sharing element functions much different than a regular social URL link as it requires the use of an API to share the actual current page being viewed on the relevant social network. Many social networks do not offer such functionality, however I’ve noted your idea for Instagram. If you just need a instagram link that goes to your own profile, you can link an “icon” element from the page builder.
Cheers
Great work
Thanks a lot web-template
Hello there,
Portfolio pagination without page numbers does not work properly after first page (see bubmag.com). There is no back arrow and page 3 ist not reachable. Thanks for help!
Hey marcosimonetti,
If you have set the element on a page which you’ve defined as the Homepage in Settings > Reading, the pagination with numbers would be required in order to work properly. If you don’t want to show the numbers, activate the option and add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
#pagination a.page-numbers:not(.prev):not(.next) { display: none; }
Cheers
OK, Thanks for your help!
You’re welcome marcosimonetti
Howdy! What and when can we expect out of the upcoming update? Excited, thanks!
Hey SiteTonight!
We’re still actively testing it to ensure a smooth transition since the entire theme had be rebuilt in order to comply with the
new Envato guidelines: https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000480723
If you have not already requested the beta and you’d like a copy,
please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
ahh okie. I think having to comply with Customizer is stupid, cuz I feel like it’s outdated, but hey they’re the boss!
Hey SiteTonight, actually Salient is staying with its current theme options setup, the customizer integration is not
mandatory. There are many other changes to the codebase though
Hey there. The off-canvas menu does not close after clicking an item when in full-page rows mode. I’m running the latest version of Salient. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Hey scottheavy,
Which style of the off canvas menu are you currently using? If possible, kindly also share your URL so I can take a look
at the setup to replicate it locally
Thanks
Hey there – yes, I’m using Fullscreen Cover Fade as the off canvas menu style. I can’t share the URL publicly as it’s in development. I can send it privately though.
Hey scottheavy,
Thanks for letting me know the style. The fix for that is already included in the current beta release – If you’d like a copy, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Cheers
Thanks! Just sent you a note via your form.
Thanks scottheavy
