Hello, how do I remove the summary text and ‘read more’ button from the blog listing page? I’ve updated the blog settings so that the Automatic Post Excerpts is off. The blog is located at https://about.tagnifi.com/blog/
Hey csandstedt,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
article.post .more-link { display: none!important; }
Cheers
Thanks. That removed the Read More button. How do I remove the paragraph of summary text that is being displayed?
Hey csandstedt, add this in as well:
.masonry.classic_enhanced article.post .excerpt {
display: none!important;
}
Thanks. Those worked well. One last question on this. How do I change to color of the headline links to use the accent color #1 and the category button to use the same solid blue?
Hey csandstedt,
.masonry.classic_enhanced .masonry-blog-item h3.title {
color: #ff0000;
}
.masonry.classic_enhanced .posts-container article .meta-category a {
background-color: #008fd5;
color: #fff!important;
border: none!important;
}
Hi Themenectar,
I’m using WooCommerce, and am just wondering if it’s possible to add a background colour to the fullwidth product tab section?
So far I’ve only managed to add one to the tab row, but not the tab content.
Thanks, Sam
Hey Sam,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.woocommerce div.product .woocommerce-tabs > .full-width-content {
background-color: #777;
}
div.product .woocommerce-tabs .full-width-content[data-tab-style="fullwidth"] ul.tabs {
line-height: 70px
}
div.product .woocommerce-tabs .full-width-content[data-tab-style="fullwidth"] ul.tabs li {
vertical-align: middle;
}
Cheers
Hello!! Thank you for the amazing theme!!
I need assistance 
1. When i am going to second row (home page) the line below the header turns black. Haw can i do it to remain white?
Also how can i do my header to turn into color from transparent when i am scrolling in the page. I couldn’t find a way on my first page.
2. Is that possible to have a line between the titles on the menu like the photo below :
http://prntscr.com/ot09yjHere is the link of my website:
https://filos.ak-web-design.netThank you for your time!!
3. Is there any way that the mega menu collumns to be at athe center?
Hey axilleaszante,
1. When using the page full screen row option, the page is actually never scrolling itself – think it like a verticle slider. Therefore when using the transparent header effect, it will always remain on by default. You can disable the effect all together in the Salient options panel > header navigation > transparent header effect tab
2. add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
#header-outer > #top nav > ul:not(.buttons) > li:not(:first-child) > a {
border-left: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
}
3.
#header-outer[data-format="centered-menu"] #top nav > .sf-menu > li.megamenu ul {
width: 400px!important;
left: 50%!important;
transform: translateX(-50%);
}
Cheers
Hi there, is there a way of increasing the padding from the right hand side for my split line heading? trying to spread the heading out more, only want this for “We promise to make your life a whole lot easier”
url www.fivesixgroup.com
Hey Joshuats,
If you’re trying spread the heading out more, you’ll need to adjust the column layout so that there’s more space.
Currently, it’s contained within a 1/2 column, but you could alter that to be a 2/3 column: https://ibb.co/dtVYLKX

Could you lend insight as to how I can remove the featured image for a blog posting when using the Multiple Large Featured – recent posts? I’d like the posts to cycle through as they do, just without the background images. Leaving it transparent to a video background I have in place.
Thanks in advance!!
Hey noantsinmypants!
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body .nectar-recent-post-slide .nectar-recent-post-bg,
.nectar-recent-post-slide .nectar-recent-post-bg:after {
background-color: transparent!important;
background-image: none!important;
}
Cheers
Thank you.
You’re welcome noantsinmypants 
Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to enlarge social icons as well as phone and email icons on the main navigation? Thanks, Zan
Hey katt101,

#header-outer #top nav > ul #social-in-menu a {
transform: scale(1.3);
}
Cheers
Thank you!!!!
You’re welcome katt101
Hi ThemeNectar,
Since updating to v10.5.3, social-hover icons have stopped appearing with tap/click on mobile browsers. Works as it should on desktop. Other social styles work as they should on all screen sizes. All caches have been cleared, I have checked for conflicts, re-installed, turned off minification etc. Would you point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Hey PeterStrobos!
This issue will be sorted in the next release. If you’d like an early fix, please reach out on the contact form on my author page in regards for a copy of the beta: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thank you ThemeNectar, that’s great to hear.
After 6 months, finally I took some time to publish an audio post in my site, however, I just realized the embedded player does not show at all, I tested in firefox and chrome and both show a blank space.
The post format is audio and it has a linked mp3 file. Would you mind telling me if this feature is still available in the theme?
Thanks!
Hey myuption, could you please share your audio post so I can take a look?
Thanks in advance
The player shows and works in the page, but not in the post. anizeen.com/trax/ Thanks!
Hey myuption,
Can you verify that you do not have the option enabled in the Salient options panel > blog tab for “Hide Featured Media on Single Post”?
Cheers
Ohh… indeed, that was the issue, I do not recall activating that. Thank you guys, you are always helpful! 
Glad I could help myuption
Hmm… back on topic, is it possible to show the player and hide the featured image from the post? This used to work as default, now, if I want to show the audio player, the featured image shows on top of my other blog posts, and those already have a header image. Hope I made sense… thanks!
Hey myuption, in the Salient options panel > blog tab can you ensure that you have the “Single Post Header Inherits Featured Image” option enabled at the bottom? If so, that will remove any featured images from appearing from below the header and only add them into the header when no other page header specific image is set.
Ohh… did not see that coming. Thanks again!
You’re welcome myuption
Hello,
I’ve set the “Centered Menu” layout, and the menu moves from right to left each time I refresh the page. It looks like the menu adjusts itself to the center. You can see it here: https://bit.ly/2Z3Jq8R How can this be fixed?
Thank you
Hey lironnave,
That’s being caused due to the lazy loading you have active. You can fix it by defining the dimensions that your logo will take with css. add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.logo-spacing {
width: 214px;
height: 63px;
}
Cheers
That worked, thank you!
Glad I could help lironnave
Hey! Since updating my secondary navigation is overlapping the main header and there is a weird gap underneath. Is there a new setting im missing? Ive turned it off for now. https://www.betterlivinghomecare.com.au/wp-content/uploads/header.jpg
Hey ladydekade!
Do you have a modified header.php file in your child theme from a previous version? If so, that will likely need to get updated to reflect the current structure. You can test if that’s the conflict by temporarily switching to the parent theme.
Cheers
Hello—is it possible to create a totally blank page with only content with Salient? I’ll be creating some pages to Iframe them on a Salient site.
Hey omarperez999,
Salient offers a page template for this called “No header & footer” which is available via the page attributes metabox on any page: https://ibb.co/tDsRW8D

The stye.css and also the HTML files are getting huge with every update and google warns about this, and you still have to make updates to the theme as long as the theme is available for download, also let’s count the fact that the theme is using 3 design styles, Original, Minimal and Ascend.
So, this is going to bet larger and larger with every update…
Google warns about the following:
1.Code to text ratio 2. Large file sizes 3. Remove unused CSS 4.First paint (part of this could be server related but still large files take a long time to load) 5.Large file size
I know you have done a few performance updates with the last update, but is there any other plans for cutting down the HTML and CSS?
A few ideas:
1. The Original theme style is old, not very attractive for modern websites nowadays. Maybe you can cut all the Original skin options format Salient and offer it as a separate download. Salient Classic.
2. Would it be possible to build a function that calls the CSS for each theme skin and ignores the other theme styles? For example, if I choose Minimal skin in the Salient Options penal, it could load the general CSS plus the CSS related to the Minimal skin only, and ignore/remove all the other CSS related to the Orginal and Ascend skin.
3. Would it be possible to add a performance optional in the Salient options panel and let us remove certain features completely? When clicking off, this would remove all the CSS, JS and other codes from the skin instead of commenting the code or leaving the code there. For example, you could let us uninstall a few stuff like:
1. Video lightbox 2. Image lightbox 3. Call-to-action section form Salient Options 4. Also, this would remove the codes of any Salient plugins that are not installed and being used, like the Salient Social, Portfolio, etc…
I do not know if any of these will make sense but these are just a few ideas I came up with since I am seeing that the theme is getting bloated.
Hope to see more performance updates soon. Thanks for a great job!
Hey toolbox101,
Salient v10.5 has reduced the core stylesheet (style.css) from 916KB to 534KB – many of the element specific styles are also now separated into isolated stylesheets and enqueued only when needed. The new logic can be seen inside of the salient/nectar/helpers/enqueue-styles.php file. Are you currently using asset minification on your site?
I have however noted your idea to allow the complete removal of specific elements via the theme options.
Thanks for the requests/feedback
Yes I am using v10.5 and as i check the style.css file the CSS rules are still there in the file for stuff that I do not use and did not install. For example the portfolio related CSS.
And yes I am using Autoptimize
Thanks!
Hi there, I’ve been trying to update my version of Salient to 10.5.3 and it’s been a mess, everything’s gone screwy. This is the message I get:

The file already exists. /home/content/p3pnexwpnas05_data01/15/2313515/html/wp-content/themes/salient/

What’s going on? And more importantly, how can I correct this? Many thanks.
Ed
Hey Ed,
It appears that your update failed from the Envato Market plugin and now would require a direct FTP update to correct the issue.
If you’re unfimilar with that process, please reach out directly via the contact form on my author page in regards so I can assist: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thank you “Author” for your speedy reply. I spent part of the night fiddling and diddling with my WP and somehow managed to install Salient 10.5.3 (basically by deleting the old version and re-installing). The problem now is that I cannot install Salient WP Bakery PageBuilder 5.7. This is the message I get: Installing Plugin: Salient WPBakery Page Builder

TGMPA v2.6.1
All the other plugins installed seamlessly. Am I correct to assume that if I deleted the “file that already exists” (through Filezilla) the issue would be solved?
Still, the question remains: how has this happened? Is there a compatibility issue here, perhaps with one of my plugins?
Anyway, thanks for your help.
Ed
Hey Ed, through FTP you can delete the js_composer_salient plugin folder from wp-content/plugins in order to try and install it again. If that’s still giving you an error, please open a ticket on our support forum in regards with temporary admin credentials so we can take a closer look into this: https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Thanks in advance
Hey Author, It worked, I’m up and running again. Thanks for your time and wisdom. Enjoy the summer.
That’s great to hear asof.
Enjoy your summer as well!
Hello,
I am contacting you today because I can’t find where to translate the “Next Project” and the “Previous Project” of the portfolio part.
I followed the documentation but I didn’t find the expression in the default.mo/po
Thank you in advance for your help
Hey EspaceTech,
Since v10.5, the strings related to the plugins are contained within the plugin specific .pot files. You can find those strings in the salient-portfolio/langauges/salient-portfolio.pot file
I’ve also noted to update the docs in regards.
Cheers
Hi can I make a page like this in salient theme ? Www.Khumasia.net ,the same circle menu can we make ? This is a presale question. Also do you have any farm demo . Plse reply fast to buy soon
Hey anazkhan,
There is no way to make a circle menu like that without some custom development. Unfortunately we don’t have a farm demo either
Hi, I want to use one of the Salient studio shop page templates that is a category grid. How do I override the existing product archive in Woocommerce so that only the Salient version displays, rather than both the Salient studio category grid and the product archive? I had a look through your and Woocommerce’s settings, support and documentation and couldn’t see the answer. Thanks for your help. Cheers, Annalise
Hey Annalise,
You’ll need to add that category grid element to a custom page instead of the WooCommerce defined “shop page”. You can then use the following snippets in your child theme to alter the WooCommerce shop home URL to be that custom page:
function woo_custom_home_url() {
return 'http://woocommerce.com';
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_breadcrumb_home_url', 'woo_custom_breadrumb_home_url' );
add_filter( 'woocommerce_return_to_shop_redirect', 'woo_custom_breadrumb_home_url' );
Hi, pre-sales question: I have read through the comments and looked at the demo http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate-creative and would like to know if I can use a shape divider as a header area for the blog page, post pages, child portfolio pages, 404 page and search page to make the website pretty uniform throughout?
Hey veccccio,
That would require custom modding through a child theme since the shape divider is only available for rows built with the page builder
Hi—probably an easy question, but I can’t find it. How do you choose what style blog shows up on category pages? https://jamescarveronline.com/category/casting-calls/
And also how can I style my links? In most cases the hyperlinks don’t stand out enough on my site. I’d like to change more than the color. The weight and possibly add the underline on hover.
Hey JayCarver,
1. The category archives will pick up whatever style is set in the Salient options panel > blog tab
2. add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body .main-content a {
font-weight: 600;
}
body .main-content a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}
Hey
What is the correct way to dequeue Salient’s parent theme styles and scripts?
I have a lot of unused CSS that’s hitting my Page Speed hard. I’d like to trim this by adding the styles to my child theme folder and removing the unused CSS, if possible.
I don’t use any prebuilt layouts or block templates and only make use of a few widgets.
I’ve found a few things online but nothing specific for Salient.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Hey dosullivan, you can use the following in your child functions.php to deqeueu any of the Salient styles:
function salient_child_remove_assets() {
wp_dequeue_style('main-styles');
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'salient_child_remove_assets', 100);
Hi,
Why are the team member images blurry? I have tried to uploading as large as 2500×2500 but they still come out blurry.
Here is my link http://rpc.a5c.myftpupload.com/home/
Thank you
Hey toolbox101,
That team member style automatically cuts images into 500×500, you can alter that by adding the following into your child theme
function nectar_child_add_image_sizes() {
add_image_size( 'regular', 800, 800, true );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'nectar_child_add_image_sizes', 20 );
and then running this to regenerate the images: https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/
Awesome, that worked just fine, one last question. I’d like to have the meta info (name and job title) to always show instead of on mouse hover.
How can i do it for this particular team member style?
Hey toolbox101,
You can use the following css:
.team-member[data-style="bio_fullscreen"] .team-meta h3,
body .team-member[data-style="bio_fullscreen"] .team-meta p {
opacity: 1;
transform: none;
}
Cheers
