How can I adjust the width of portfolio excerpts that flow beneath the thumbnail image? I need to widen it so my text doesn’t wrap too soon. Thank you.
Hey arteest, which project style are you using? If you could also share your URL in regards, that would work too.
Thanks in advance
URL here. Not sure how to figure out my project style though.
https://bit.ly/2QsS0rnThanks arteest, add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.portfolio-items .work-meta {
width: 100%;
}
Is there a way to disable sidebar for specific blog posts?
Hey inje, it would require custom css since the sidebar layout is a global theme option. You could add this into the css box on any post you wanted to remove it (the css box is located inside of the WPBakery page builder at the top right gear icon).
.post-area {
width: 100%!important;
margin-right: 0!important;
}
#sidebar {
display: none!important;
}
Hello, I am hoping to add an image border around images (example attached) For example, with the image with the text “Big Budget Weddings & Birthdays” Overlayed, we want to have a border (which is an image) around the whole row. I have tried adding an ID to the row and then putting the following CSS:
border-image1{
border-image: url(https://awakentheape.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/first-image-frame.png) 30 round; }
But no luck. Do you have any ideas?
Hey jackcweston,
It would require some custom CSS, basically it could be set as a background-image on a div and then forced to stay the same aspect ratio with padding. The content inside of the div could then be set to position:absolute and centered.
Cheers
Hello, I have WordPress version 4.9.10 and unfortunately don’t know what version of Salient (it does not say). Here my website: http://www.totalreal.ch/ The Visual Composer disappeared in the backend. What do I have to do? The website is down because of fit. I would really appreciate some help. Best wishes.
Hey totalreal, please see my response to your earlier comment in regards 
Cheers
Hi TN,
How can I customise ‘read more’? I want to add an icon, circle with arrow in it, behind the ‘read more’ text.
Thanks, Marc
Hey Marc, that would require CSS – can you share your URL so I can see what your settings are?
Thanks in advance
This is how it should look like: https://www.evernote.com/l/AAQvtDvMGoxLoLNy_9H0QsxXnemJPfOpE08
Hey Marc,
can you share the URL of your blog or wherever the read more exists so I can see the settings for that?
and by the way if I add the MORE tag in the backend, nothing happens on the frontend of the site. So now I add an icon + text and link them but using the MORE tag would be a lot easier.
Hey Marc, I don’t see any actual read more buttons on that specific page, I only see the custom ones you’ve added through the page builder and highlighted in your evernote screenshot. Are you trying to add read more buttons outside of the blog? By default the read more tag will not function on pages and that’s not specific to Salient:

Isn’t Custom CSS section anymore under Salient > General Settings> Custom CSS?? Is tehre anyway to add my custom css internally in wp? Thanks in advance.
Found it!!
Hey SrtaPixel, glad to hear you found it

Hi Theme Nectar,
I have added a ‘Recent Posts with Image BG’ template, which defaults to white font on a black background… https://prnt.sc/ns2ttc
I have changed the background to white and would like to change to font colour to black but I’ve only been able to find how to do this for the title (e.g. ‘Latest Articles) and cannot find where to change the font color for the articles (e.g. ‘On the road for the first time’ etc).
Is this possible, if so where?
Thanks for your help, Mark
Hey Mark,
When you edit the parent row, all that should need to be changed is the “Text Color” field to be “dark. If you’ve already changed that and it’s still showing as light text, could you please share the page URL so I can take a look?
Thanks
Wow not sure how I overlooked that one. Thanks!
One more question (sorry)... on the Standard Blog with Sidebar, where can I edit the sidebar content and add or remove sections such as ‘Archives’, ‘Meta’, What’s Trending’, ‘Recently Written’ etc.
Thanks for all your help!
You’re welcome Mark
The sidebar is populated from the Appearance > Widgets section of the admin panel. Once in there, the sidebar widget area is named “blog sidebar”
Cheers
Can you please tell me if this is possible: Full Width Container with a Container in the center?
Visually, it would look like color touching both edges of the screen with the container box width in the center. I uploaded a sample to make it easier to visualize.
https://bit.ly/2ErH4FtThank you for your help in advance. You guys are awesome and I love the theme.
Sometimes the fancy unordered list doesn’t show up. This happens in Chrome and Firefox, not all the time on the same page. I tried to reproduce it, but couldn’t. Sometimes I get the error “ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED” in the Chrome console.
How could I find out what’s wrong?
Hey manifestic,
could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a further look?
Thanks in advance
It’s here: http://www.signstudios.at
Thanks!
Hey manifestic, I tried to do 10 loads on this page, but have not seen the error occur yet: http://www.signstudios.at/about/ About how often do you see it?
Thanks again
Please go to the homepage, scroll down to the projects (you can also switch to Englisch at the top) and click through the projects. On the project’s page there are credits at the bottom which are “Split Line Headings”, somewhere within the project there often is a section “Our tasks” which is a “Fancy Unordered List”. When the problem occurs it usually happens to both at the same time. I would say it happens about at least 1-2 out of 10 page loads.
Hey manifestic, I have tried navigating to the end of your projects and back to the beginning but unfortunately still have not seen the error. Have you been able to replicate this on more than one machine?
Cheers
It doesn’t always happen. Usually a reload remedies it, but then it may show up on another page.
Thanks!
Hey manifestic, thanks for the video – could you try to add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body .carousel-wrap {
max-height: 375px;
}
Cheers
On the live version it seems to do the trick. The carousel was the problem?
is the theme compatible yet with wp 5.2 + Cheers
Hey Bignath, yes Salient is already compatible with WP 5.2
Hello Team,
If someone is adding product into the cart and then going on other page top right hand cart is showing “No Items In Cart” While they click and go to cart page they can see the product in to the cart.
Notice: get_woocommerce_term_meta is deprecated since version 3.6! Use get_term_meta instead. in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 4435
Is this something related to this notice? Can you please let me know how to resolve this kind of issue.
Hey princebhalani143,
1. Can you share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
2. The warning for the deprecated function call is going to be fixed in the next release, due this very soon – however it shouldn’t be causing the first issue you’ve described.
Cheers
Hello Team,
1) URL as requested https://tinyurl.com/y3rz2j5v (Search Dates > Find available product > Request Book > It’ll Add Product to Cart and redirect you on Checkout > Go Back to Other Pages and mouse hover on cart icon (briefcase).
2) Thanks for confirming the same, Waiting for next update.
Hi TN,
I want to use your template for a client site and I know how to rebrand it pretty far. The only element I can’t seem to edit is this:
http://prntscr.com/nrnxj2How can I edit the ‘salient templates’ into my own company name so the client doesn’t see I use your theme?
Hey hookieoalo, you can copy the “nectar_generate_salient_studio_button” function into your child theme and alter the wording – it can be found in the nectar/nectar-vc-addons/nectar-addons.php file.
Cheers
Thanks
in the options WooCommerce / Cart In Nav Style
https://ibb.co/4sgjDjcHey ziccia,
I am also currently seeing the slide in cart working when hovered over: https://ibb.co/rFGNhMd could you let me know which browser you’re testing on?
Cheers
chrome !!
Hey ziccia, can you please try enabling the option for “Full Width Header” in the Salient options panel > Header navigation > layout related tab? The issue may be that we’re on different sized screens.
Hi Theme Nectar,
I am using the eCommerce home page with transparent header, the same as this one http://preview.themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266
..except I have my logo aligned to the left, but the logo doesn’t appear. I have set my logo in the Salient header options and it appears fine on other pages which don’t have a transparent header, but not this one. Can you think of any reason this might be happening that I could try and troubleshoot?
I am hosting locally so can’t share the URL but here is a screenshot: https://prnt.sc/nrmb85Thanks, Mark
Hey Mark,
Do you also have the transparent specific logo set in the Salient options panel > header navigation > transparent header effect tab?
Hello Theme Nectar – I am back with a new perplexing issue and not sure how to fix it. At the top of our page is a navigation area that has the social links one of them being “RSS” feed. Now I know in the past when we had an older version of Salient that I did see our RSS Feed when I would click that link. It’s been awhile since I have checked it.
Recently we upgraded Salient, we are now on SalientVersion: 10.0.1. So today I go to click on our Social links and now when I clicked RSS link it is not taking us to any page. When clicked it opens up a dialog box that is asking “What should FIrefox do with this file” giving options to Open With or Save File.
I have looked in our Social Media Salient settings and there is nothing in the RSS field, no link info to a RSS feed. So not sure why that icon is showing up.
Basically what we would like to do (until we can figure what and or where is our RSS feed and how to get it to show) is to remove the RSS icon.
Please Advise – Thank You,
Hey meruth101,
The header icons will be populated if they are set to display, even if a URL is not defined. Could you verify that it’s set active in the Salient options panel > header navigation > layout related tab? Also, kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a further look at the issue.
Thanks in advance
HI ThemeNectar – that did the trick – I just needed to know where to go to uncheck something to make RSS Feed icon not show. I went to both Header and Footer and found the item to uncheck.
As always Thank You for your help!
You’re welcome meruth101
Mildly frustrated here. Decided to try out one of the demo imports and it totally wiped out all my custom CSS and changed all my settings. Luckily, I saved my CSS code prior but I’m sure many people don’t. Maybe implement a system of a clean removal/reset perhaps. Either that, or give a warning.
If I am missing something, please let me know. Thank You.
Hey arteest,
I’m sorry to hear that happened to you. There should be two different notices visible during the import process which state that the current theme options will be overridden when importing a new demo. The first one is visible at the top of the importer here: https://ibb.co/x198bbp and the second should be on the import modal: https://ibb.co/tYGGHhc – are those not on your setup?
I do recall seeing the 3 green bars but admit I did not read them. However, I was blinded by excitement so I have to proudly take an L on this one. It was my mistake.
Is there a simple way to cleanly remove a demo without having to manually go in and redo every font, setting, etc?
Hey arteest, are you trying to remove a demo and restore a fresh WordPress installation or go back to whatever the previous state was of your existing site before the import?
How can I change the secondary navigation menu (in gold) to a large phone number and smaller text below it? I also want to add the Icons Mind icon – “Phone”.
https://tinyurl.com/y76e7bvlI’d like that to look like the banner on https://alderlaw.com/
Thank you!
Hey michellecmurphy18
It would require custom modding, but here’s a start to it – Change you link in the admin side to be only the text without the number and then
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
#header-secondary-outer .sf-menu a {
font-size: 14px!important;
}
#header-secondary-outer .sf-menu a:before {
content: '888.881.DLAW';
font-size: 18px;
display: block;
}
Cheers
I’m curious how to make the related items on woocommerce product pages be displayed 3 columns. I tried the code here but it isn’t working:
https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/change-number-of-related-products-output/.Thanks! Dave
Hey Dave,
Salient adds it own action for the related products, you can see the function which is hooked in salient/nectar/helpers/woocommerce.php by searching for “woocommerce_output_related_products”
