Please, I need some urgent help. My website has not being shown on cell phones or tablets. I purchased Salient and can’t enable it to display on other devices, only on the computer. How to make it work properly?
Hey eucomum,
Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look. Also, if you’re not seeing Salient as the active theme on mobile devices, it might be simply because a plugin you have activated overrides the theme for mobile, for example Jetpack has this feature: https://jetpack.com/support/mobile-theme/
Cheers
Thanks for your reply. My URL is https://eucomum.com.br I’ve followed your instructions but couldn’t active theme on mobile devices. Hope you can help me as soon as possible, please.
Hey eucomum, thanks for sharing the URL. Could you kindly try to add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab to see if it sorts the issue?:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
htmlbody[data-ajax-transitions="true"] #ajax-loading-screen[data-effect*="horizontal_swipe"][data-method="ajax"] {
display: none;
}
}
Thanks again for your attention and reply, but the code didn’t work. Is there any way that you can access my wp-admin and add the code or fix what is not working, please? Some messages appear about unqualified attribute selectors and other errors.
Hey eucomum, sure thing – please reach out via the contact form on my author page here: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks again
2 ago I got in touch through the contact form, providing the login and password data of my site so that you could access it and definitely help me to solve the site’s lack of responsiveness on mobile devices. I have not had any feedback yet, which is very detrimental to my professional work. I opted for Envato, for trustworthiness and, unfortunately, I still have not been able to put my work through which I sell my products in the air. Please, please, your urgent help. I await a brief return. Thanks.
Hey eucomum, I apologize for the delay – I wrote back to you earlier today in regards
Cheers
I have a contact form with a dark background and the placeholder text is showing up as dark text. How do I change the placeholder text to a lighter color?
::-webkit-input-placeholder { /* WebKit browsers */
color: #000 !important;
opacity: 1;
}
:-moz-placeholder { /* Mozilla Firefox 4 to 18 */
color: #000 !important;
opacity: 1;
}
::-moz-placeholder { /* Mozilla Firefox 19+ */
color: #000 !important;
opacity: 1;
}
:-ms-input-placeholder { /* Internet Explorer 10+ */
color: #000 !important;

Hey csandstedt,
I’m glad to hear you found what you were looking for 
Thank you for you replay.
- All your web component support RTL? Menus, parallax navigation etc.. – Where can i see RTL in action? – Is there a Free Trail version?
Hey dolypooh, please see my response to your previous comment in regards.
Cheers
Wishlist: PLEASE consider adding color container headers. I love the clean grey headers but things tend to get lost when you have long custom pages and rows all over the place.
Fingers crossed!
Hey arteest,
I’ve noted it on the wishlist

Hi,
I have a few questions. I want to re-create this exact blog: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate-2/corporate-2-news/.
1) How does the nectar popular post widget populate? Is it done automatically, or not?
2) How do you get the big ‘blog header’ on the blog page? All I managed to get is my blogs sorted on the left side with a thumbnail, the big one on top is missing.
3) How do you get the blog in the middle? See: http://prntscr.com/nr8liz
Thank you!
Hey hookieoalo!
1. It sorts posts by how many views they have. In the widget settings you can set the range for that e.g. most views within the past month or all time etc.
2. We created a standard page (not assigned as the posts page in settings > reading), and then added a recent posts element in the page builder followed by a blog element.
3. The “Featured Image Left” blog style will stretch any “quote” or “link” format posts to be that width.
Cheers
Hi, I’m thinking of purchasing this theme and have 2 questions: Can the portfolio items/list/gallery be displayed as a “scattered” gallery via WPage builder and, if so, will you all be able to give a simple example of how to do it once the theme is purchased?
I didn’t see any examples in the theme but its the one thing i’d like to be able to include.
Scattered portfolio gallery examples: - https://bit.ly/2wchSOC (top section) - https://bit.ly/2HsbtFA - https://bit.ly/2VCFA11
Thank you.
Hey alox85,
Unfortunately Salient does not offer an option for that and it would require more than a simple snippet we could provide here
Hi,
We are thinking about using your beautiful theme for another website. Just in the planning stages at the moment, but thinking ahead, is it possible to remove the header inc menu and footer completely on specific pages?
Hey Micatuca,
Yes – there’s included page templates which you can assign to any pages desired which will remove the header or footer, or both
Cheers
OMG Still no Instagram or YouTube buttons in the social links, why not? I see you have responded saying you don’t have the api, still not? and why do you need an api to link to another site?
Hey CodeDodger, Instagram and Youtube have both been in the social links for the header/footer/off canvas menu for a while. The social sharing buttons, available on single posts/projects are not regular links. They are “share to” buttons which generate actual posts for each of the available services when clicked on. If you’re looking for a regular link to your own profile, you can do so using the icon element.
Hello,
I’m creating an image gallery with the WPBakery Image Gallery element and using the Nectar slider style but have run in 2 issues.
1. When you get to the last slide and hit the right arrow it doesn’t loop you back to the first slide. Auto play loop works fine but I need the last slide arrow to loop as well.
2. I need to control the speed of slides which there is no way to do with the current settings options.
I’m using the child theme and implemented a custom JS file so is there anything I can add to my custom JS file to solve these 2 issues?
Thanks, Damian
Hey Damian,
This would require modding to the nectar/nectar-vc-addons/vc_templates/vc_gallery.php file. If you search for “nectar-slider-wrap” in that file you’ll end up at the correct location.
Cheers
Thanks! I found it and was able to inject the necessary options I needed via my custom JS to not modify files on the parent theme.
I had another question with the portfolio. When you reach the last portfolio item you have the navigation for Back to all projects or Previous project as there is no Next project arrow because you are on the last one. So is there a way to infinite loop the portfolio projects so there is always next and previous arrows for the portfolio navigation and on the last project the Next Arrow would loop you back to the first project?
Thanks, Damian
Hey Damian,
Unfortunately there’s no built in option to do that as of now, the core WP functions that Salient uses (get_next_post, get_previous_post) to get the next/previous project don’t work like that
Hello,
How do I remove the Bg overlay in Blog Post?
Thank you,
Hey vibestudios,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body.single-post #page-header-bg.fullscreen-header.bg-overlay:after,
body.single [data-post-hs="default_minimal"] .page-header-bg-image:after,
.archive .page-header-bg-image:after {
display: none;
}
Cheers
Hello, I tried this code but it doesn’t work. Btw I’m using the Salient studio “Cool Dark Auto Mansory Blog & Featured Top Post” template. I wanna remove the BG overlay.
Thank you
Hey vibestudios,
for that style you can use this instead:
.auto_meta_overlaid_spaced .masonry-blog-item .post-featured-img:after { display: none; }
Cheers
Will this works correctly with child theme if I rename wp-content folder by using official method?
Hey exclusivetuts, yes Salient doesn’t hardcore “wp-content” anywhere in the theme.
Hi Phil,
I was wondering if you could please also add an WhatsApp Icon to the header (and footer for that matter)? Can be pretty useful if one set up a business WhatsApp account.
Thanks in advance
Hey TheChuckOne
That’ll be in the release due out shortly - We’re still sending the beta out, so if you’d like access please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Cheers
Awesome! Thanks Phil and team. Still THE best and most awesome theme there is with the best support around!
You’re very welcome TheChuckOne
Hello Team,
I am using social icon into the footer right hand side, I would like to use rel=”noopener” for all the target=”_blank” links can you please suggest me some solution? How I can achieve that? If there’s no rel=”noopener” present along with target=”_blank” then add it accordingly.
Hey princebhalani143,
You can modify the salient/includes/partials/footer/copyright-bar.php file in regards
Cheers
Thank you
You’re welcome princebhalani143
Hi guys, I am just writing to let you know of an issue I have noticed on 10.0.4, I have set up a fresh install of WP & Salient & it was sluggish to load, save settings, threw up timeout server errors, it would not show me the off-canvas menu & it wouldn’t save any settings on the Nectar slider so no titles, captions, backgrounds would take effect once saved. I have rolled back to a copy of Salient 10.0.1 I had & works fine. Maybe a JS issue? No on-screen errors. I’m not skilled enough to be checking the console etc. Environment: Linux based cloud hosting, PHP 7.2 & issues across all browsers. No need to create a ticket, just thought it might be useful at all? I’ll carry on working with 10.0.1.
Hey Media29,
10.2 through 10.4 contained very small fixes and besides the addition of including the updated WPBakery builder, not much has changed that could have large global admin & frontend issues like you’ve described: http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html Could you please let me know what the internal server errors were so that it can shed some light on what occurred?
Thanks in advnace
I spent ages trying to figure out what was going wrong, I tried checking the console, disabling all plugins etc with no avail. I’m no coder but I work on this stuff every day & the console threw up some JS errors so again after loads of trial & error testing I finally figured it out to be Cloudflare’s cache! I created a page rule & disabled their cache permanently & purged everything & all has been fine since. It was having some terrible JS effects & I do not know why! We use Cloudflare to take advantage of their DNS management proxy & more importantly, their free SSL.
Hey,
Can you check why the first 3 rows overlap? http://cadeautje4you.nl http://prntscr.com/nquq0nAlso is it correct the Dutch language isn’t 100% translated?
Thanks!
Hey TwitchvertisingNL,
1.The font size which you have for the H2 tag is too large for the space that the words are in on smaller desktop screens. You can shrink it for those viewports by 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: 1500px) and (min-width: 1000px) {
.vc_col-sm-4 h2 {
font-size: 26px;
}
}
2. What are the theme strings which are not able to be translated for you?
Cheers
Hi there. Is there a way to reduce the height of products in the flickity carousel? Our products are short and wide, so dont suit a square box.
Hey marklovin,
Could the share the page URL where I can take a look?
Thanks in advance
Hi, I’m hosting it locally so can’t share the URL but here’s a screenshot: https://prnt.sc/nr75to
There is too much white space above and below the vehicles so I’d like to use images that are less tall but don’t see any way of achieving this.
Hey marklovin, in the WordPress customizer > WooCommerce settings, there are options for set a custom thumbnail cropping ratio: https://woocommerce.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/imagefeature.png?w=712 What do you current have yours set to?
Cheers
Is there a way to customize content added to the products that display within the woocommerce product grid VC element? I need to add a div to overlay the image with post excerpt content and a custom link etc. Possibly we’d replace the content below the image with something else too. Is there some php to hook into or override? Maybe you have a best approach to recommend. Thanks!!
Hey davidgrishaver,
If you’re referring to the Salient page builder element “WooCommerce Products”, you can override the output of whichever product style you have selected in the theme options > woocommerce tab. You can find the output functions to copy into a child theme in salient/nectar/helpers/woocommerce.php
Cheers
Hi, I would like to double check that in Salient I can shift the column to be slightly off-grid in x direction? I would have 2 columns (text and image) and would like to partly overlap text onto the single image. From this demo http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate-creative/ looks like it’s possible. In another theme I have (which also uses WP Page Builder), there are column settings for shift in X direction, but I am not sure if that’s a native feature of WP Page Builder or a customisation by theme authors.
Could you please clarify how the overlap is done in Salient’s demo? I would like this to be responsive, i.e. on mobile just stack columns without any shifts.
Hey davydden,
Salient offers the option to allow an image element to expand past the width of the column it’s contained in by a certain percentage. E.g. 140%, 175% etc. That will also revert back to 100% when viewing on a mobile device.
Cheers
Hello, I’m interesting in purchasing your themes but have a few questions - Do you have fully support for RTL - What is the difference between demos and portfolio?
Hey dolypooh,
Salient does include an rtl stylesheet. The portfolio post type in Salient is an optional post type that you can use for projects if desired. Any demo can use a portfolio after imported as well, we just created various demos to showcase specific designs and not all call for a portfolio.
Cheers
Thank you for you replay.
- All your web component support RTL? text slider, menus, parallax navigation etc.. - Where can i see RTL version in action? - Do you have trail vesrion for testing?
Thank you for you replay. - All your web component support RTL? Menus, parallax navigation etc.. - Where can i see RTL in action? - Is there a Free Trail version?
Hey dolypooh, we do not have a live RTL demo as of now or free trial. However, if you decide to make the purchase and do not wish to continue with Salient, you can apply for a refund whenever you need it through here: https://themeforest.net/refund_requests/new and we will grant it.
Cheers
Great
2 last questions before purchasing:
- I see in some demos that (e.g Project Slider) you have page transition animation. Does It can be apply for any web page that I will create?
- For any future project. can I mix anf match every component and behavior that you demonstrate on diffrent demos ?
Thank you.
Hey dolypooh,
The page transition option is a globally applied theme option, so when activated it will be on for all pages. You can also mix and match sections from various demos by using the Salient studio template library: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/
Cheers
Hello there. I can use a fix for a width issue. The default width of the site is supposed to be 1425px. However, this is not accurate because the div that contains everything, is set to 1245px. Not sure if this is intentional, but I would like the width to actually be 1425px wide.
Can you please send me the CSS to update? I assume I would also need a fix for the header and footer areas as well. Thank you.
Hey arteest, you can change the width of the container in the Salient options panel > general settings > functionality via the “Max Website Container Width” field. There’s also 90px of padding added to the left/right for content, so simply increase the max width by 180 if you want the content to expand to that distance.
Instead of adding 180px to the width, how can I simply get rid of the 90px padding?
My images are already formatted to fit 1425px. I would rather not have to re-export them to accommodate for an additional 180px pixels. I can always add padding later if needed. I simply want it to be the width it states in my settings. Thanks guys.
Hey arteest,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
body .container,
body[data-header-format="left-header"] .container,
body.material #search-outer #search {
padding: 0;
}
}
