Is there a way to set up a page on the website to have a special link where if you click that link it doesnt have the header and navigation on the top? I want to make a regular page on the site also a landing page but would like to make a special link for that page so that if someone clicks on the special link that page doesnt have the header. But the page does have the header if you are just on the site as normal.
And is there a way I can setup dynamic keyword insertion on a page?
Hey kukennedy,
1. Salient offers a page template called “No Header” which you can assign to any page: https://ibb.co/ydSYZrG
2. That would require the use of a plugin
Cheers
Which plugin would you recommend for wpbakery since thats what yourtheme comes with?
Hey kukennedy, are you referring to dynamic keywords to be used in an ad you’re making for a page using google adwords?
NVM I found a plugin. WHat plugin would you recommend for making a button into a lightbox with an html form from jotform?
Hey kukennedy, we’ve tested popup maker to ensure compatibility: https://wordpress.org/plugins/popup-maker/
I tried it and am having trouble. I am confused on your relationship with WPbakery but they have an extension that has this capability and also has a template feature I really want. How does this work with salient since we already have WP bakery: https://wpbakery.com/addons/tekanewa-visual-composer-extension/
Hey kukennedy,
Salient provides a modified version of the WPbakery page builder to accommodate the custom editing functionality. Some plugins may not work depending on what functionality they’re extending, however a plugin which is only adding elements such as the one you’ve listed should work.
It says compatible with (WPBakery Page Builder 5.1.x – 5.7.x). Is that what we have?
Yes, the Salient WPBakery version is 5.7
So we had an error, from the plugin:
The site using the template is currently showing a critical JS error (see browser console via F12) ...
TypeError: $that.carouFredSel is not a function
... which is coming from your theme, and preventing the various sliders on the page from initializing and most likely also blocking other subsequent JS routines from other scripts.
Here is the page: https://www.richie84.com/youth-motivational-speaker/
Also: https://www.richie84.com/template-test/
We have been trying to get this done for over two weeks now. Everyone says its everyone else’s plugin or theme. Please whatever you do do not blame it on the plugin. I am so exhausted by going back and forth because everyone blames the issue on something or someone else. Please instead of blaming can we just come up with a solution? I am using SG optimizer and turned off anything that had to do with javascript and still didn’t work.
Hey kukennedy, does that error only occur when using the plugin elements? It appears to not be occurring on your landing page, Either way, in order to troubleshoot that I would need access to your site. Do you have a ticket open already? If not, you can also reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
It occurs when using the template only and not on the regular theme. I really need this functionality. I messaged you the username and password. Thank you.
Hello, did the get the loggin?
Hey kukennedy, yes I received your email. Because Salient uses logic to scan the page content for elements in order to only load scripts when needed, you’ll need to manually enqueue some of the assets when the page content is obscured through a templating system. A quick way to do so would be to activate the Salient child theme and add this snippet into the child functions.php file:
https://pastebin.com/f5f0NpjZHow do I do that? Are there instructions?
Hey kukennedy, Salient includes a child theme with the main download. All you’ll need to do is upload that and activate it. The snippet I provided above can then be added into the included functions.php file within in it.
Ok, I made a subdomain with the child theme and added the code. Still having the same issue but looks a little different: http://test.richie84.com/template-test/
I didn’t change the login so if you want to have a look?
I think the challenge is some are a full content background and a full background.
Is there a solution please?
Did you still have the logins?
Hey kukennedy, I can see that the script is still not being loaded on your URL, however I just verified that the same snippet does load it in when added to a child theme locally. I’ll need to log back into the test URL to dig deeper – I’ll update you in regards soon
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'nectar_child_js');to
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'nectar_child_js', 100);
Ok, it is working much better but as you can see there are 3 sections that the page sttill isnt working properly becayse the pictures arent going the full width of the page and are cut off?
It looks as though it is set to container but it is set to full width background.
Everything else still seems to be working much better. Thanks.
Hey kukennedy,
That’s occuring because the template system is wrapping all of the rows in an extra container div and thus preventing the default Salient functionality. You can fix it by adding this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.vc_column-inner > .wpb_wrapper > .wpb_row.full-width-section > .row-bg-wrap {
margin-left: -50vw;
left: 50%;
width: 100vw;
}
Hello, can i update from Salient 7.0.8 to the newest version without running into any issues? Thank you!
Hey qshi,
Yes, just make sure that you’ve read through the guide so you know what has changed: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/
Cheers
Thank you!
You’re welcome qshi 
We are a non-profit and will be utilizing multisite to host all of our projects on subdomains. Some of these projects are volunteering opportunities and some may be separate companies we own or partially-own. All of these sites will be on subdomains with no separate domains. We contacted Envato and here was their response:
If you are using WP multisite to run multiple subdomains under one domain, you only need one license.
For example: • product1.mysite.com; • product2.mysite.com; • product3.mysite.com
But they said the final decision is up to the developer. Can you please confirm we only need one license, before we move forward?
Hey GorillaEffects,
One license is fine when using sub domains.
Thanks for reaching out to verify
Hi, I have successfully managed to add custom post types in the “Recent Posts” VC component! ...But only by editing the /plugins/salient-core/includes/nectar_maps/recent_posts.php file.
However I can’t extend it to use it from my child theme so that it’s non-destructive.
Essentially I need a way to extend this line from /plugins/salient-core/includes/nectar_addons.php so that I don’t get a “cannot redeclare” error:
class WPBakeryShortCode_Recent_Posts extends WPBakeryShortCode {} vc_lean_map(‘recent_posts’, null, SALIENT_CORE_ROOT_DIR_PATH . ‘includes/nectar_maps/recent_posts.php’);
This would greatly help as it’s the last missing piece Thank you in advance.
(If you want I can give you the code so you can review it and maybe add it in a future version, it’s been requested a lot from the posts and tickets I’ve read.)
Also, important detail I forgot: if I replace SALIENT_CORE_ROOT_DIR_PATH with get_stylesheet_directory_uri() it gives errors like this:
/srv/www/iancuguda/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer_salient/include/classes/core/class-wpb-map.php on line 884
Hey midfieldco, in your child theme you could use vc_remove_element to remove the default map for that element and then use vc_lean_map with your child theme file.
add_action( 'init', 'salient_child_wpbakery_mods', 5 );
function salient_child_wpbakery_mods() {
vc_remove_element('recent_posts');
vc_lean_map('recent_posts', null, 'includes/nectar_maps/recent_posts.php');
}
It worked perfectly, thank you so much! The only thing is now the pagination only works in the “plain” version of the permalinks. The others 404. Got any idea why? I think paginate_links should specify the post types. Or not?
(Disabled plugins, re-saved permalinks, repaired db — nothing happens)
Hey midfieldco, are you referring to the recent posts element still or are you saying that any pagination on your site through other elements which support it by default has stopped working since you added that into your child theme
I’m using the ‘Sticky Product Info’ for my WooCommerce products, and I did a little bit of tweaking to the layout. How can I get the fixed content (thumbnails and product summary) so they pin a bit closer to the top of the screen when you scroll down? ie, remove the top margin by about 50%. There’s a large gap there as I removed the content on the product summary.
I assume its somewhere in the init.js but I couldn’t find it.
https://tinyurl.com/y69gbwsj this is my site.Hey SeanAUS120,
The file to modify would be “js/nectar-single-product.js” – search for “additionalMarginTop” within that to end up at the right location
Cheers
Awesome! Working great. I changed:
var $ssExtraTopSpace = 50;
to
var $ssExtraTopSpace = -50;
Glad I could help
Hi – Is it possible to add a background color around the top level navigation items? Ideally, it would connect to the dropdown background color so that the hover state would be a block around all of the items. Currently, I am using Original Theme skin with Classic drop down style.
like this… https://imgur.com/a/0kdDH4CThe bottom image is what I am hoping to achieve
Thanks!
Hey brianlichty, add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
#header-outer header#top nav > ul > li.sfHover > a,
#header-outer header#top nav > ul > li.sfHover > a:hover {
background-color: #1C1C1C!important;
}
Cheers
thanks – is there any way to hide a menu item on mobile? looking to hide this… menu-item-9784
Thanks! one other thing… Is there a way to hide a menu item on mobile? I’m looking to hide menu-item-9784
thanks again!!!
No worries we figured it out!
Glad to hear brianlichty
For anyone else who may come across this, something like this would work:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.menu-item-9784 {
display: none!important;
}
}
Hi there!
(Support’s expired for now, so I have to send through here.)
I noticed in the Salient theme’s functions.php file that the nectar_get_theme_version function is wrapped in an if statement that should make it pluggable, but the function names don’t match up—it’s checking if the function get_nectar_theme_version exists instead. Doesn’t seem intentional or particularly useful that way, so I thought I’d mention it.
Hope that helps!
Hey clockwork360,
Thanks for pointing that out! It is indeed a mistake
Cheers
Hi, is there a way to show specific featured projects on the homepage rather than the latest?
Many thanks, Danny
Hey Danny,
Not as of now unless they were assigned to an isolated category for querying. However, I’ve noted your +1 to allow for specific post querying
Cheers
Hello, i’m having an issue with the size of quantity input field in woocommerce, can you help? fontsize is too big or field is too small
Hey ottovonstrokem,
Can you share your URL in regards so I can take a look at your settings to assist?
Thanks in advance
Hi guys! Great work with your theme. Love salient! Salient is my top 3 referrals for sure! Guys, recently a client of mine is facing a problem, he gave me a minor task and I logged in to wp-admin, only to see the builder not working, like not at all. The pages are hard code. Can you please advice what can be done about it?
Hey AbrarRL, thanks a lot!
Which verison of the Salient WPbakery page builder is your client using? 5.7 is required to use WP 5.0+ – if you’re not using that, you’ll have to update your version of Salient in order to get access to it. Here are the updating docs: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/ and a recent article on the new release which you should take a look through
Cheers
Thank you so much! The procedure worked. I successfully updated the theme. The builder now works fine. Only one issue now, the client gets a blank white page when visiting his site from desktop. He tried through multiple PCs, no luck. His mobile view is fine and all views from my side is fine. Any suggestion there?
Hey AbrarRL,
Could you share the URL in regards and have you asked your client to verify that they’ve cleared their browser cache yet?
Cheers
Yes, the site is waterknight.com And yes, the client cleared his browser cache.
Thanks AbrarRL,
I’m seeing 404 (not found) errors in the browser console when accessing that URL. It looks as though some of the core files are missing from the install
Ok. And everything seems fine from my end. That is the problem. Different people views different things. Do you have any suggestions?
Hey AbrarRL, what kind of server setup does your client have? If there’s a load balancer, it could be an issue of the files only getting updated on one of the servers in the group https://ibb.co/9GPXGCK
Thank you so much for your patience! Just a normal linux hosting from namecheap, no load balancer. The client actually contacted hosting providers and they ran checks to see if it were from their side.
Hey AbrarRL,
Since I can’t access various JS files directly such as http://waterknight.com/wp-content/themes/salient/js/superfish.js (still getting a 404) it seems to be server related unless the theme upload is truly incomplete. Have you tried to upload a fresh copy via FTP yet?
Cheers
Hi. I have uploaded the theme as directed after presented with the issue. I have also mailed the wp-admin access before you suggested me the solution. Also, it has been a while their website is down, needless to say the effort they have gone through corresponding to hosting providers, and the client is losing their patience. Is there an immediate solution to this? Eagerly awaiting for one boss.
Hey AbrarRL,
Where have you mailed the wp-admin credentials to? I don’t see any emails from this username currently
Right. Ok boss. What do you suggest now? Cause this is getting quite lengthy. Given that all measures provided by you were followed and nothing is working so far. I am asking again, are there any suggestions to solve this? Not explaining the problem further, since I came up to you when I faced the problem, I pray to God you have the sense to understand that I know what the problem is. So instead of passing time with me and harming me and my client, please tell me the solution to the problem caused by you, if not, please grow a pair of balls and say you guys are shit and can’t do anything about this. Thank you.
You mentioned in your previous comment that you “mailed the wp-admin access”. in a direct follow up to what you said, my last response is aimed at finding out where you sent them, as I don’t have them in my email. At this point, without logging into your setup there’s not much I can do since from the outside, it looks like the files are clearly not there. Salient uses the core WP functionality for enqueuing assets (wp_enqueue_style, wp_enqueue_script) and 404 errors on those are not a known issue.
I take offense to you ignoring a huge problem when attempting to edit theme settings: – There was a problem with your action. Please try again or reload the page.
Saying it’s now a known issue when there are at least 20 people in the comments experiencing this issue is dishonest. Then replying to say their php version is out of date, which is not the problem.
I have never experienced problems like this when trying to install dummy data as well as editing a theme. And I’m certainly not the only one. “You have a memory issue, contact your host” is an absurd response due to the number of people experiencing the exact same problem. My php version and memory settings are way above and beyond your minimal requirements.
Instead of telling these hundreds of people to open a ticket, just fix your theme, it would save you a lot of time and money.
Hey busy600,
that error message is the default error message from the theme options framework that Salient uses (redux) when anything goes wrong during saving. It could be caused by many different reasons, some of which can indeed be related to insufficient PHP settings.
We have not been ignoring users when it does pop up, however similar to an internal server error, further examination is required to see what’s actually going wrong. Since Salient has used the same framework for many years, throughout different versions it’s occurred for different reasons which have been sorted in subsequent theme releases.
If you’ve already verified your settings are solid, have you also checked your server logs to get further info on the error tracked? It’s also possible that mod_security with certain rule sets can block the saving since there are many options so if you’re using that, it would also be worth checking into.
Chrome’s console output:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) | /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php:1
There was an error saving. Here is the result of your action: <!doctype html> <html lang=”en-US” class=”no-js”> <head> ...
In most instances that a 404 is showing on the ajax request, a security feature on the server is blocking the request. As mentioned earlier, ModSecurity is a known culprit – have you tried to look into that?

Hey royal_rotra,
the CSS you’ve pasted appears to be from the Salient theme itself. Can you share your URL in regards and let me know what font you’re trying to get the CTA buttons to display in?
Cheers
Well, it seems I copied the ‘button’ styling. I want it to be capitalized, but it’s not working anymore now. Do you have a custom css for this?
Could you kindly share the URL in regards so I can assist\ with that?
Hi,
Can you please let me know how can I customize the search box and button from a page (see http://framey.io/blog/). I am looking for a more rounded button and just a search icon inside the box instead of a button.
Thank you!
also, it is possible to create a custom search with two inputs, category and keyword, as here: https://colorlib.com/etc/searchf/colorlib-search-3/ ?
Hey robertpreoteasa,
I can assist with CSS to modify the appearance of the search icon itself, however there’s no option in Salient to have a search input directly visible inside of the header before clicking on the search icon. If you wish to add more fields, you can copy the file salient/includes/header-search.php into a child theme for modding.
Cheers
Hi guys, I have been required to update a website for a client which has the Salient theme installed but VC isnt working. Ive read up and it seems I need to update the theme and VC but I cant update it? Is there anything else I can do to fix it? Please help. (I obviously dont have the purchase code as I am not the original builder)
Hey wildcolour,
in order to get access to the current WPBakery page builder (formerly known as visual composer) you’ll need to download the current version of Salient. Have you tried to reach out to Envato in regards to get the license transferred to your client if the old developer never gave them it? https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Thanks
Okay the original builder has sent me the new files but when I try and install the new theme it doesnt give me an update option it just gives me an error with: “Destination folder already exists. /usr/www/users/xyonadsaas/wp-content/themes/salient/ – Theme installation failed.”
So do I need to disable the old theme first or what? Please help
Hey wildcolour,
You will need to remove the previous theme first – if you’re doing the update right inside of the WP admin instead of FTP, check out the “Downloading/Uploading” section in the docs here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/
Also, be sure to read the differences with Salient v10.5 here so you’re aware: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/important-salient-update-for-new-envato-requirements/
Cheers
Thank you for your feedback. Just to be sure it wont stuff up my current website if I deactivate and remove the current salient theme then upload and reinstall the new theme? Do I leave the child theme as is?
Hey wildcolour, yes that’s correct and then you’ll need to install and activate the new Salient plugins. Before doing anything, since you’re using a child theme, you should go through the contents of that and see the scope of the modifications. If there are many template file overrides in there, they will be conflicting with the new theme version and require updating as well. On the other hand, if it’s just mostly CSS/ and stuff in the child functions.php there won’t be extra work
I’ve received an error after activating the new theme “The site is experiencing technical difficulties. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.” ?
Hey wildcolour, please check your server error log for any instances of “fatal error” at the bottom so we can see what’s occurring
Hi, Product Style: Minimal Design. Mouse hover effects on WooCommerce Products is not working after setting the Shop page. I have WooCommerce Products (element) on homepage. Then, I setup the Shop page on WooCommerce > Settings > Product tab. After that, the mouse over effects on WooCommerce Product on homepage is not working anymore.
Hey djmalibiran, please share the URL in regards so I can take a look
Thanks in advance
Hey djmalibiran, the only way that the BG expand/shadow will show with that product style in a carousel is when the parent row is set to “full width content”. It’s intentionally removed when in a regular non full width row due to the fact the hover will get clipped on the sides.
Ahh cool. Great! Thanks!
Glad I could help djmalibiran
Hey man, I created the page elitesportspt.de, but when I view it mobile the button “Mit Sabrina trainieren” just appears “Mit Sabrina”, but the rest is hidden. How to fix this?
Best Andi
Hey Andi, could you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look in regards?
Thanks
Thanks Andi,
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 .nectar-button.jumbo {
font-size: 13px;
}
}
So with the latest big update, it appears that the previously posted fixes for adding a read more button at the bottom of each post in masonry layout, doesn’t work. Is there a way to fix this now? (through the ascend theme)
Hey mehean, if you’re just trying to get the more link to display when using the Ascend skin, add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.ascend .masonry-blog-item .more-link {
display: block;
}
If that’s not working for you, please share your URL in regards
Unfortunately, that is what isn’t working… this is for the read more button on the blog page masonry layout. I tried referencing a demo to see if it’s showing there to reference, but it’s not.
The url is: https://betthr.com/blog/
I want to add a read more button below the excerpt in this layout. Thank you!
Hey mehean, the “classic enhanced” masonry blog style does not use a read more button – the CSS I provided would only target the “classic” style. If you wish to add a read more button into the “classic enhanced” style post v 10.5, the file to modify is at includes/partials/blog/styles/masonry-classic-enhanced/entry.php
Are you able to provide more guidance as to what to insert into the php file? Or, how to use the classic layout with even post sizes versus the standard variable? Thank you!
Hey mehean, you can copy the more link directly from the masonry-classic/entry.php file in regards ( this line: https://pastebin.com/1wMvZpHq ) and then add it into
the classic-enhanced file after the excerpt around line 73
Thanks friend – I tried that before writing you and it broke the world. 
But I just added it again and it appears to be working… just need to fix the formatting of the button. REALLY appreciate your help here!
Hey mehean,
You can use the following CSS:
body.ascend .masonry-blog-item .more-link {
display: inline-block !important;
}
Cheers
You’re the best – thank you so much!!!
Glad I could help mehean
I’ve updated to the latest theme version but I’m still getting the old instagram Icon display for the social media links in the header. https://www.foodieflavours.com/
Hey MarcGarner,
Your plugin “btnsx” is loading an outdated version of Font Awesome and overriding the icon. Disabling that should fix the issue
Hi I am running the new latest version of the btnsx plugin but am still getting the old instagram icon foodieflavours.com
Hey MarcGarner,
I have verified that in a fresh Salient install, that is not the icon used. Have you tested to see whether deactivating that plugin corrects the issue?
Hi there, after installing the updates I still got some strange issues. Nectar slide > edit slide > link type isnt visible. I can’t change the buttons on homepage anymore.
When i open a page and want to change a text or image I always have to open and close the text editor (or another function) and the 2nd time I can change content.
When I deactivate Salient WPBakery Page Builder the link type settings are back in Nectar slider.
Hey ponchovogel, it sounds like there’s no some of script error occurring in your backend which is causing the issues you’ve mentioned. Since there’s no known conflict between the page builder and the Nectar Slider, can you please reach out via the contact form on my author page with a temporary admin account so I can take a closer look? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
