On the corporate 2 theme, whats the html code for the video background ? Lastly , whats the html to Have an image instead?
Hey Mediaocity,
The video BG/image BG of a row is handled without HTML directly through the page builder when editing any row. If you’re intentionally trying to get the markup isolated for a custom implementation, see the following: https://pastebin.com/QhYRd73g
hmmm, I cant find the html code you sent me to. Nor can I find how to edit the video or image of the background on the Corporate 2 theme
Hey Mediaocity,
Here’s a screenshot showing where the row settings are: https://ibb.co/StTfckJ If you’re unable to see that in your setup, please open a ticket in regards so I can take a closer look at your setup to assist: https://themenectar.ticksy.com/

ah wonderful, thank you!
You’re welcome Mediaocity 
Hello! My support has expired, so unable to submit a support ticket. I’m wondering if there is a way to create an outbound link from your Testimonial page builder element? Would be great if we could link to the client’s website from this location.
Located at the bottom of the page here https://speakgroup.com.au/
Regards Melanie
Hey Melanie,
Unfortunately since the text on each testimonial is stored as a shortcode attribute, html tags will be stripped by default. However I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist to add a direct link option field for each testimonial element
Plans to add wp_body_open hook? (https://generatewp.com/wordpress-5-2-action-that-every-theme-should-use/). I see there’s some nectar_ hooks already in place right after , but maybe the wp_body_open will gain acceptance as a standard – curious to know your plans. Thanks!
Hey scallemang,
I’ve noted to add that in 
Cheers
Hi,
Can you do some sort of news/timeline feed as a page or homepage kind of like what you have with Tumblr? So it’s like a blog sort of.
Hey amgchase, the closest thing Salient offers to that would be the following masonry layout: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/blog-masonry-fullwidth/
How i reduce the distance of woocommerce-product-details short-description area to top and bottom?
Hey Tresmeiazero,
Could you please share one of your product URLs so I can provide a snippet based on your current settings?
Thanks in advance
Started playing with the blog features, and wondering why when I select post type as link, it still takes me to a specific blog page? I would assume it would just bounce me out to the link I added, not a blog page with just a link on the page?
Hey mbianchi27,
Which blog style are you currently using – Could you kindly share the URL in regards so I can take a look?
I don’t have the blog live yet since the links are not working correctly, but I am using the magazine style blog
Hey mbianchi27,
If you’re referring to using the magazine demo as a starting point, there are many different blog and recent elements in use of that all with varying styles selected. Could you let me know in which section on that demo you’re seeing links behave like this? If you could alternately provide a screenshot showing the section, that would be helpful.
Thanks in advance
Hello, I would like to change the h2 tag in my nectar slider to an h1 tag and was hoping you might let me know which theme file contains this section of code so I can modify it.
I searched through the comments here to see if anybody else had asked this same question already and noticed that you had provided a solution in the past. Since this theme received some major updates after the older questions/comments were published, I figured that there would likely be a new approach to changing these tags.
Thank you for making/maintaining such a great theme 
Hey YVRtom 
The “nectar_slider_display” function found in the salient-nectar-slider plugin at includes/frontend/helpers would still need to be copied into a child theme for this modification. I’ve noted your +1 for the idea to make it a plugin option as well.
Cheers
*Hi, to clarify my request, i want two different menus, in two different pages, the two pages I’m working with are one page style each, so, the main navigation happens inside each one, although in page one, there is a section which redirects to page two. Its all in the same domain.I really don’t want extra pluggins and, by the way, I’m working with the child theme. Thanks in advance!
Hey NTCo, if you do not wish to use a plugin to handle this functionality, the salient/includes/partials/header/header-menu.php file would need to be moved to your child theme and modified.
been using salient for a while on my website but recently the minicart has stopped updating when a item is added to the cart. Website: playalondon.com. what could be the issue?
Hey djkk16,
Could you kindly temporarily disable your js magnification so I can take a closer look at the setup?
Thanks in advance
what do you mean disable it?
Hey djkk16,
I mean to disable the feature within the plugin you’re using which is minifying and concatenating the javascript. This will allow me to examine the site closer to see if I can find the source of the error
I there, I would like to override one of yours vc_template (vc_column.php). I’d try to read on your code, but I wasn’t able to correctly override the file.
I am using the 10.5.1 the version, with the customer license. I’ll try to upgrade your theme, because (just for example) I don’t understand some pieces of code:
$child_dir = $template_directory . ‘includes/vc_templates’; $parent_dir = $template_directory . ‘includes/vc_templates’; vc_set_shortcodes_templates_dir($parent_dir); vc_set_shortcodes_templates_dir($child_dir);
it seems you’re calling twice vc_set_shortcodes_templates_dir with the same path (I’d try, and it seems not related to my issue anyway).
Kind regards
Hey encodia,
Currently, there is no built-in functionality to allow for child theme overrides of specific templates, the $child_dir in that file isn’t doing anything and was a starting point that hasn’t been developed yet. However, the parent function “nectar_set_vc_as_theme” can be overridden in a child theme, so you could create logic for it.
Cheers
Thanks for reply. We decided to completely remove Salient VC in one of our CPT and move to Gutenberg… I think we’ll solve with a workaround. My very best.
Hi there! I’m giving another try to the theme, but already have two things that cannot find how to fix 1. I need the site in spanish, how to? And 2 and most important right now, how to use different menus on different pages or post without installing 3rd party plugins??? Please help me!
Hey NTCo,
1. You can use the included .pot files to translate any strings using your desired plugin
2. There is no built-in option to alter the page menu on a per page/post basic without using a plugin Or custom code through a child theme
Hi, ok, i would try again Loco Translate and keep you updated. Second: I try two plugins for the menu issue but none seems to work, can you please send me the custom code and where to paste it in order to disable the menu in the posts pages and with plugins is compatible so i can create a custom menu for different pages? BTW: i send the ticket #2111174 where i ask for specific things to resolve, can you please answer that ticket? Thanks.
If that’s not working for you, please mention so in the ticket you have open.
Thanks in advance
I really dislike that the new mobile navigation has been combined with the off-canvas menu. I understand you guys are making changes and that’s great and you have a great product, but it has screwed up quite a bit of what I had done. Is there any way to revert back to the old way the mobile menu/navigation was done previous?
Thank you for the help.
Hey bruntoncraig, the new style that was added titled “Simple Dropdown” is an updated version of the classic mobile menu. http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/ocm-6.jpg What specifically are you trying to change about it so I can assist?
I used two menus and kept one on the off-canvas menu with general information about the company (About, Contact, Policies, etc.) and the other, larger menu as my main menu linking to the more specific and detailed subject matter. And, I know it sounds silly, but I thought it was a better aesthetic with the off-canvas separate from the main menu and was less cluttered. Now, on a desktop, when choosing the Simple Dropdown I lose the off-canvas menu altogether and just have to find a different place for that information. On mobile, it’s fine, but again, that other info I used to have in that spot is gone. Honestly, it’s not a huge deal and I’m probably going to delete my comment. I just think I liked the old style better, but I can adapt.
Hey bruntoncraig, thanks for clarifying – I’ve noted the feedback. The option to use a double menu on mobile was indeed removed, however if you would like some CSS to make the off canvas menu look more like the old style (dark grey) I can assist with that.
Cheers
Hi, has something been updated? Just lost a number of my latest CSS customizations. They’re still visible in my General Settings > CSS but no longer appearing on live site https://www.ananday.com ex. a:link {color:#3967FF;} /* unvisited link / a:visited {color:#3967FF;} / visited link / a:hover {color:#3967FF;} / mouse over link */ Thank you
Hey kseniavo,
You have a syntax error in your custom CSS a little further up from those rules. This media query is never closed:
@media(max-width: 580px) {
.mc4wp-form input[type="submit"],
.mc4wp-form input[type="text"],
.mc4wp-form input[type="email"]{
display: block;
width: 80% !important;
max-width: 80% !important;
margin: 5px auto;
}
It should have an additional closing bracket at the end like so:
@media(max-width: 580px) {
.mc4wp-form input[type="submit"],
.mc4wp-form input[type="text"],
.mc4wp-form input[type="email"]{
display: block;
width: 80% !important;
max-width: 80% !important;
margin: 5px auto;
}
}
Wow, good catch! That little bracket solved it. Ty!!
Glad I could help kseniavo 
Cheers
Hi Salient. Just wondering whether this page is a grid of Portfolios or just single images? I was wondering how you achieve the hover effect on the images. http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/ Thanks!
Hey jaroljmek 
If you’re referring to the “Installable demos” section – that is indeed a single portfolio element using the “Meta below thumb w/ shadow hover” style.
If you’re referring to the bottom section right under the text “Salient is loaded with powerful features that makes building a website easy” – that’s multiple rows using the “fancy box” element. There’s actually a Salient Studio template that was added as of v10.5 for that titled “dark fancy grid” https://ibb.co/CsNkS5T
Cheers
Hey ThemeNectar, thanks for this. I’m exploring Portfolios. There is an option called Custom Content Grid Item which I’m trying to test here https://jaroljmek.com/showcase/ but I can only see the Date or the Excerpt in my Portfolio Grid, not the Custom Content. I have enabled Custom Content Grid but the content does not show below the Featured Image. Wonder if you could point me in the right direction. Also, how do I adjust the hover shadow depth and add the NEW badge like your demo? Thanks so much!
Hey jaroljmek,
1. Unfortunately, that specific project style doesn’t use the custom content option. The project styles which do Include any that show the meta overlaid on top of the image itself.
2.You can use the following CSS for that project style:
Body .portfolio-items[data-ps="9"] .col:hover img {
transform: translateY(-5px);
box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0,0,0,0.25);
}
3. The new badge will show up when you add the class name “nectar-new-item” to any project
We’re using the woocommerce product module and want the link that has The Price and Add To Cart to have a different link (to the product). Also we want Add To Cart to be “Book Now”. Is there a way to change this? It seems tightly integrated into nectar_woo_add_quick_view_button() and could use a clean safe way to tweak text and link. Thanks!
Hey davidgrishaver,
As of now this would require modding to the relevant function to alter the link (the function is different for each product style). You can find each of them in nectar/helpers/woocommerce.php. However, the text itself could be altered through a core WooCommerce filter (woocommerce_product_add_to_cart_text)
Cheers
Hi, I’m trying to achieve the parallax effect on Salient theme as seen on Snoop Dogg website (http://snoopdogg.com/) – the blue overlay on the cover image. As i have learned from inspecting the page, these are two the same iamges one being tinted blue and perflectly alligned with parallax effect. Any idea how I could achieve this? I have tried using background image with parallax effect in Row settings but i have not managed to get them perfectly alligned. I have the theme purchased on the company account – posting from this one as I don’t want to use company credentials for personal querry. Thanks a lot 
Hey wiitold, when setting the BG images on each row, have you ensured that the parallax BG speed is set to “fixed” in the settings? If so, could you kindly share your own URL so I can take a look?
Thanks in advance
Hey Peter,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.material .col.boxed,
.material .wpb_column.boxed {
transform: none !important;
}
Cheers
hey again, when adding menu names to the top header on desktop, this has duplicated the off canvas menu options when looking on mobile?
Hey Joshuats,
Can you verify that you do not have the option enabled “Off Canvas Menu Mobile Nav Menu items” in the Salient options panel > header navigation > off canvas menu tab? If that’s already off, please share your URL in regards so I can take a look
Cheers
woocommerce_upsell_display was changed to show unlimited quantity of products, but still theme shows only 4. If i disabling JS via devtools, then everything goes right. I found this code in init.js
$(’.woocommerce .span_9 .products.related .products li:nth-child(4), .woocommerce .span_9 .products.upsells .products li:nth-child(4)’).remove();
How to fix this issue and have a posibility to show more than 4 upsell products?
Hey inkodus,
That code no longer exists in the Salient init.js file – which version of the theme are you using? The code also only applies to sidebar layout and removes a single item rather than everything after 4, so I assume your modification to woocommerce_upsell_display might just be hooked on the wrong action priority. Could you let me know the full code you’re using to modify that?
Cheers
Hi, WP version 5.2.2 WOO 3.6.5, Salient theme 9.0 and i use child theme with function.php
Thanks inkodus, please also let me know the code you’re using to modify woocommerce_upsell_display
Hi, I’m trying to get particles to work on my site but it’s just not showing up no matter what I try. I followed your video tutorial and my wordpress is a pretty fresh install and I’m running the latest Salient. The particle mapped image is uploaded directly to the site media library and is just a basic bold text jpeg like you show in your video tutorial. Would you mind taking a look? Thank you. https://bit.ly/2YJOo6I
One thing worth noting, when I’m in the edit page view of the dashboard, the “Page Header Settings” tab is not visible so I have to go to the top of the page and click on screen options. When I do, the page header settings is toggled ON so I toggle it OFF then back ON again and sure enough it shows up. I have to do this every time after clicking UPDATE on the page. Strange.
I’m using the Product Demo import (aka Downhill Bike).
It almost seems like the Header section is not showing on the front end altogether. I even tried basic image background and that’s not showing either.
Okay, some more information on this. I just tried to create a new page and activated the HTML5 particles and it works fine on this new page! It just doesn’t work on the demo import page for some reason.
I just learned that when you Activate Full Screen Rows, the Page Header Settings disappears. Is that intentional? Is the custom page headers (particles feature) not available for Full Screen Row pages? I didn’t see any mention of it here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-metaboxes/
If this is the case, is there a way to achieve a side navigation similar to the full screen rows but have page header settings working? Maybe using anchor links but I wouldn’t know how to get a bulleted side navigation to show.
Hey ehong33234,
When using the fullscreen row option the page header is indeed removed. As of now there’s no way to add the particle BG to a regular row as would be needed to combine to two, however I’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist
Cheers
Yes, please at least give an option to maybe disable the first Fullscreen Section on the page so the particles can at least work.
