Any plans to include an upside down curve shape divider? Much like the asymmetrical curve, but symmetrical. Customizing the SVG path via CSS in the child theme doesn’t translate to Safari browsers.
Hey CreativeFedora, our attention has been focused on the new Envato requirements recently, but i’ve noted your
idea on the wishlist

Is there any way to add Nectar Shortcodes button to the editor Gutenberg? For example: https://i.imgur.com/tXSFxpI.png Or maybe there is another way to add a shortcode without disabling the new editor?
Hey BodyulCG, we have not created a user interface for the shortcode generator for Gutenberg yet. Shortcodes that are pasted into it should still render, however it would be a manual process as of now. In the future we do plan on further integration with the new editor though.

Hi! I’m trying to change the shop page and single product page layout to have Fullscreen Rows. I have activated the “Activate Fullscreen Rows” option in the page that I set as my shop page in woocommerce settings. But the layout does not change. That always works for the rest of the site. I never had any problems until now. Am I missing something? I’d just like to know if I’m doing something wrong.. Thank you so much.
Hey ZENI_MA,
Unfortunately the fullscreen page rows feature is only available for regular page and not posts or other custom post types such as WooCommerce products.
I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist though
Cheers
Thanks for the response! Cheers
You’re welcome ZENI_MA
Error from update: The Nectar shortcode for color gradient keep duplicating button text .eg: The text learn more is duplicated resulting in learn more learn more [button color=”see-through-extra-color-gradient-1” hover_text_color_override=”#fff” size=”small” url=”” text=”Learn more” color_override=”“] Any support to fix this will be helpful. Many thanks
Hey danzara, I’ve confirmed this issue to be related to the material theme skin only and also only the shortcode button instead of the page builder button element.
Changing the skin or using the button element would fix it, however if you’d like an early fix before the next release, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Cheers
I though the latest latest version you have just released was going to fix it! Can you advise when this update will come, pls. Thanks
The latest update did add in a fix for it. Have you updated your version of the Salient Shortcodes plugin after updating the theme? If so, please share your URL so I can take a look.
Thanks in advance
have seen that it’s fixed from your lated update.cheers
Glad to hear danzara
Update to 10.5 has broken my website. The main page works, but the rest of pages are blank white pages. Please help:
https://jerichosmiles.comHey mocktooth,
I’ve navigated to a handful of your pages and can’t see any issues or errors occurring in the console – However, I can see that your assets are minified and cached through siteground’s optimizer. Once you clear all the cache from that or temporarily disable it, you should see the site normally on your end as well.
Hey,
I have disabled the default fonts with the code you gave me, but on Safari, these 2 guys are not still disabled. https://imgur.com/a/AoPwPXl
What is the CSS selector to force these two to use the following rules?
font-family: 'Nunito'!important; font-weight: 400; }
I have tried body .post-meta but did not work.
Hey toolbox101,
you can target that with the following:
.post .post-meta .month,
.post .post-meta .year,
.post .post-meta .day {
}
thanks
Thanks for all the help after the update….
I have a few features that you might consider for the next update.
1. When we disable the default browser fonts, it affects fonts such as milestone, blog patination font, portfolio All label, comment username font, Search font on original skin and a few others. (It might be different for each theme skin.) Can you please include all these fonts with the Main Body font settings so when we disable browser fonts to limit page requests these fonts get the font settings set in Typography > Body Font
2. Responsive Fonts Settings settings are good that you have added, but they are useless without Line Hight, can you please add Line Hight to this section?
3. Can you please add a separate section for Link Colors? The good example for this is, If we use Black for Accent colors and Overall Font Color, then the links also are black, mixing with the website’s font and the user won’t know if they are links or not. It does not have link underline option, it is the same color as the Accent Color and Overall Font color, they won’t know where to click.
4. The close button is mixing with the background color of the navigation and it is hard to see on iPhone X Max, see it here https://imgur.com/a/8dTD3gW on a desktop it is perfect, https://imgur.com/a/MsWG8Xm
Material skin issue after the new update, the Search gets cut off on iPhone X Max, see here https://imgur.com/a/jmBuA6g
Also, a question. Which CSS file does the Custom CSS Code in the Optional penal write to? I have put my custom rules there, but I went also in the child theme’s CSS file and did not see the rules there. Do they write somewhere else? if yes, can you tell the exact location of that file?
Thanks
Hey toolbox101,
Thanks for the requests/suggestions – they’ve been noted
Can you share the actual page URL where I can take a look at the search getting cut off?
Also, the custom CSS will end up as an inline style after the other stylesheets in the head. If you have significant CSS, you should use a child style.css so that it can be cached.
Cheers
Here is my test installation link http://o9c.ede.myftpupload.com/ I have only tested on iPhone 10 Max, i dont know about the other phones.
Thanks toolbox101, I’ve confirmed it’s iOS specific – add this into the css if you want to sort it before the next release:
body.material #search-outer #search form input[type="text"][name] {
line-height: 44px;
}
This new feature you have added “Transparent Header Effect” how can i disable on mobile? It does not work well because of the special banner styles I am using.
I could not find on option to turn it off for mobile in Salient settings. Its this a global automatic setting?
Hey toolbox101, there’s no option to disable it as of now – it’s been a long requested feature and something that helps maintain design consistency from desktop to mobile. Obviously it will not activate when the transparent header effect is not active for the current page on desktop. We will be adding a theme option to disable it in the future, but could you kindly share the page URL that shows it conflicting with your special banner?
Thanks
Sure, here is the link to test installation http://5pq.a43.myftpupload.com/
And this problem is only for mobile, here is the screenshot https://imgur.com/a/ejOfmPA
And the special banner i was talking about is Slider Revolution. As you can see the background shadow looks strange the banner is pulled down.
Can I get a temporary CSS fix until you add the option back?
Thanks
Hey toolbox101,
Please edit the row which is holding the Slider Revolution and change the row type to “in container” or “full width content” to prevent that extra top space.
Cheers
That worked, thanks.
This is strange, its the 5th time im not getting notification from themeforest that there is a new version update for Salient, I get for all the other themes and plugins but Salient.
Hi, i have an issue with flip box, light color text gives me dark color, how can i fix this? Thanks!
Is fixed, was the row settings with dark color, cheers!
Hey robRazor, glad to hear you sorted it
With the new update I have a problem, Header Link Hover / Active Effect the option “animate underline” makes the line is above the text and looks crossed out Any solution?
Hey marketingCOLORSit, can you please check that you have a line-height set to something in the Salient options panel > typography tab for the “Navigation Font” field? That issue sounds like you could potentially have it set to 0.
Cheers
Thank you I have changed it, and it solves it, but now increase the extra height.
And when you scroll the nav is reduced in 2 steps 
ok solved
Glad to hear marketingCOLORSit
1. Is it possible to have the secondary header enabled but not take the social icons up to the secondary header and leave them on the primary nav bar?
2. Is it possible to hide the secondary header on desktop and mobile media queries and only show on mobile?
I need a solution for showing a call us banner on mobile (within secondary nav) but only visible on mobile – as the social icons disappear into the collapsed menu which had the call us icon on.
Many thanks.
Hey Utopia_Creative,
1. This would require modding to the includes/partials/header/header-menu.php file in regards
2. It would be possible through CSS - add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
#header-secondary-outer {
display: none!important;
}
@media only screen(max-width: 1000px) {
#header-secondary-outer {
display: block!important;
}
}
Cheers
Is it possible to change the content displayed when there are no results on a search, the text etc …? If you could point me in the right direction that would be great.
Hey MarcGarner, the template which controls that output is search.php, which is located in the root of the theme directory.
Cheers
The update has not gone well ☹️
I’ve installed the additional plugins for Core, WP Bakery, Shortcodes and Widgets.
But half of my shortcodes have broken, even when I switch back to the main (non-child) theme and clear the cache…
Hey discoverearth, could you please share your URL so I can see what shortcodes are not working for you?
Thanks in advance
‘vc_widget_sidebar’ and ‘nectar_single_testimonial’ are the ones I have found so far.
They’re at https://ideas.discover.earth/ and https://ideas.discover.earth/about/ , with the same errors on a bunch of other pages.
Hey discoverearth, those are both elements registered in the Salient core – could you please reach out via the contact form on my author page with a temporary log in so I can take a look? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
I apologise – I had Core installed but forgot to activate it. 100% my fault.
Once I activated it they both worked, just as you said.
Thank you for the quick support
No worries at all, I’m glad to hear it’s working for you now
I’ve had a great experience overall updating, just a few quick undesirable changes/bugs I’ve seen:
1. testimonial block quote padding goes crazy on mobile: 50px 50px 50px 100px is now default on mobile making text box elongated and unreadable with too much padding (I fixed with css lowering all sides to 30px)
2. there is some mysterious padding added to the bottom of all my images now: .row .col img is set now by default to bottom margin:15px…. again I fixed with css to 0px !important
3. Footer columns line spacing is now much tighter (less space between menu links)... however categories listing in footer did not change it’s spacing… so if you have in your footer categories from your blog as well as menu links, the line spacing will no longer match and won’t look even across your footer.
4. Also blog single pages with the salient “variable height minimal” setting – no longer centers the main article image (if the image is not big enough to cover the width)
5. Finally, with the new social share plugin… I would say that many of us use chat software (like intercom.com) and most chat buttons reside right where the social share is. I know you can turn it back to the old style, this new style is super cool…. just wish there was some more options to customize location of the social button (like move to left, or better yet hover next to article in static position like https://kinsta.com/blog/interview-omar-reiss/ . Thank you for this cool new feature.
I would just add to point #3 the tech specs:
Default is now:
.material .widget li a, .material #sidebar .widget li a, .material #footer-outer .widget li a { padding 0 !important}
Any reason why !important is incorporated into default theme? makes it conflict when I want to change with something else more important (like adding padding here where default is 0px !important) – in this case when I change it, my menu does improve in footer by increasing padding, but it also ADDS even more padding to categories, again making them not match in padding
Hey ebrek1, thanks for the report and request. Despite thorough testing, because we significantly reduced the use of !important (by around 80% theme wide) it’s possible some values may have unintendedly changed. I’ve noted to look the above for the next update Is there any way you could share your site URL as well?
Cheers
Hey everyone!
Just as a reminder, Salient v10.5 has been available for a few days now and is a major release. Please read through the update guide here before updating to ensure a smooth transition.Cheers
Would you please help to fix Errors (1) 1 X Empty linkMore information
Hey Counterintuity, the report you’ve linked to doesn’t show anything other than “Please enter a valid URL” – can you try sharing it again?
Thanks in advance
This update has been a disaster
I can’t update Salient Core plugin. I get the following error. All other plugins were installed and activated successfully.
The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature
Hey logicbank,
That error is likely caused by your WordPress setup running out of memory when attempting to unzip the contents of the plugin. You can reach out to hosting company in regards to increase the memory, but to fix it now immediately you can simply extract the salient-core folder from the theme itself (located at salient/plugins/salient-core.zip) and then FTP it to your wp-content/plugins directory. If you’d like help doing that, please reach out in regards via the support forum or contact form on my author page.
Thanks in advance
Thanks for the excellent support as always. I’ll give it a try now.
No problem logicbank
Were you able to get it activated?
I did manage to activate the CORE plugin but, unfortunately, I have an issue with the layout of the the theme now. Updating added a gray/blank section on top and to the left of the content. Please see these screen-shots.
https://gyazo.com/6e6da1c71e8abc1b52bc123196306227 https://gyazo.com/6e6da1c71e8abc1b52bc123196306227Is 10.5 not compatible with Gutenberg? Do we need to have the Classic Editor plugin activated? (I do)
Hey logicbank, 10.5 has the same Gutenberg compatibility as 10.0.x – the classic editor is not required, but all of the elements are still in the WPBakery page builder.
Could you please share your URL so I can take a look at the space issue?
Thank you, ThemeNectar.
You’re welccome logicbank
Could you please disable the autoptimize plugin temporarily so that I can see the code and also so that caching can be ruled out?
Disabled Autoptimize as requested.
Also Disabled WP Super Cache (it was running as well).
Doesn’t appear to have made a change on the front end. Gray areas are still on top and left side.
Thanks – I found what’s causing the issue. If you look in the page source code, you’ll see that the opening body tag has malformed html (looks like a google tag manager script) that’s preventing all of the Salient attributes from being added to the body tag: https://ibb.co/b1p24Dq If you’re not using a child theme, please try disabling whatever plugin could be adding that snippet.
Hi Phil,
I updated 10.5, but I have a bug. I use Off Canvas Menu with tramsparent header and now I have a white bar at the top with the words “No Menu Assigned”. Do I have to check an option or disable something? please look this : ordo-ab-chao.fr
Thanks!
Hey RV73
It looks like it’s a caching error and additionally there could be a child theme conflict. There are styles in Salient to hide that and the text visible is not from the current version. Can you please temporarily disable your child theme if you have one and also your minification/caching plugins to verify?
Thanks in advance
Hey Phil ! Thanks it’s ok
I had the old header.php file in the child theme. Thanks 
Glad to hear RV73, thanks for letting me know
Hi there, got some issues with the update so I changed back to my old version backup. I hope you can help me out with the next error:
An error of type E_PARSE was caused on line 2548 of the file /var/www/vhosts/imediastars.nl/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/nectar-vc-addons/salient-studio-templates.php. Error: syntax error, unexpected ''image_p' (T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE), expecting ']'Do you know how to fix this?
Hey ponchovogel, the file listed in your error (salient-studio-templates.php) is now simply a blank file, there should not be anything else in it other than a comment at the top letting you know that it’s moved to the Salient Core plugin. It looks like your file did not update properly since it’s referencing line 2548.
Ok, now the update works. I only have 1 small issue:
Dropdown menu Desktop: The whole menu changed after the update and I cant set Navigation Dropdown Font…nothing changes.
Before I had lines between the dropdown choices and now its just a grey block. Where can I style the whole menu and do some settings? or CSS only?
Dropdown font is fixed. Font settings were overruled by CSS. Hope you can answer my other question.
Hey ponchovogel, the dropdown design was updated to remove the lines, though they can be added with CSS. add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.sf-menu >li ul {
padding: 0;
}
.sf-menu ul li {
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
}
.sf-menu >li ul a {
padding: 12px 6px;
}
You can change the ”#000” to whatever color you would like the separators to be
Thanks for the quick response and free CSS code
You’re welcome
Hi there, menu is fine now but the right arrow pointing to submenu position is too high. I tried to find the CSS class and looks like its this one: .fa-angle-right:before but changing the padding is not changing the height, while left and right is working. Any idea?
Hey ponchovogel, you can use the following css:
body .sf-menu li ul li .sf-sub-indicator {
top: 12px;
}
Cheers
Thx, it works
You’re welcome ponchovogel
Hello. I have a button on my page at www.elevatorspeechtraining.com (see screenshot at http://mf.ly/tw5 ). On a mobile device there seems to be excess white space above and below it (see screenshot at http://mf.ly/qp5 ). Is there some custom CSS I can add to the page to avoid this? Thanks as always. /marc
Hey Marc
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: 1000px) {
#sound, .home .main-content > .row > div:nth-child(3) {
margin-bottom: 0!important;
}
}
I added this CSS to the custom CSS section for that page but it does not seem to make a difference. Please see this screenshot: http://mf.ly/0tr
Thanks as always for your speedy response.
No prolem
Try this as well:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.home .main-content > .row > div:nth-child(4) * {
margin-bottom: 0!important;
}
}
That did the trick Thank you !!
You’re welcome
Hello,
I have just migrated to the latest version of the theme and on most of my sites no problems except on 2 of them where the “single image” is no longer displayed on the site.
Thanks in advance
Hey EspaceTech, could you please share the URL where the images are not visible so I can assist?
Thank you
Hi, here is an example: https://www.modelex.mc/about-us/ On this page I had to put a “Cascading Images” on top of my “Single image” because the “Single image” is no longer displayed on the site
After inspection of the page code it turns out that since the update the src is empty while the source of the image is well specified in the backoffice
I only have this link/image problem on “Single image”. On the other pages I “solved” the problem by replacing the image singles with a text element with a media

HI is it possible to create an override in the child theme of this file: wp-content/plugins/salient-core/includes/vc_templates/recent_posts.php ?? thanks for you kind answer.
Hey rossiello, not as of now but i’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist.
