Hi TN,
On the mobile menu I need all the menu items to drop let’s say 50 pixels. How can I do this? See my screenshot: https://www.evernote.com/l/AAR09878E_RLRq254l42YzW0fV64uq2xFrI
Thanks in advance for helping me out with this issue.
Cheers, Marc
BTW, I use the Off Canvas menu style >> Full Screen Cover Slide + Blur BG
Hey Marc,
You can use the following:
#slide-out-widget-area.fullscreen .inner {
top: 40%!important;
}
Cheers
I added it to the Salient Custom CSS Code but nothing happens … Emptied my cache etc.
Hey htusco, I can see the CSS taking effect on your site – have you tried to adjust the 40% to another value and clear your browser cache?
Hi, I love working with your theme. Could you please advise how I would apply text shadow to the fancybox? H3 and H5 parallax hover effect. Many thanks
Also with regards to the form styling. Ascend is selected on general settings and minimal on the form settings. Please advise how we can reduce the padding/margin between form elements.
Hey mjoakton, I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the theme 
1. Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.nectar-fancy-box[data-style="parallax_hover"] .inner h3,
.nectar-fancy-box[data-style="parallax_hover"] .inner h5 {
text-shadow: 0px 5px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.7);
}
2. Could you kindly share the page where your form is located so I can see what form plugin you’re using?
Cheers
Thanks for the code. The site is in development mode and not live. We are using contact form 7. I hope that helps. Thanks again
You’re welcome mjoakton.
Here’s another snippet for the contact form:
.container-wrap input[type="email"] {
padding: 8px;
}
.wpcf7 p {
padding-bottom: 10px;
}
Thanks again. Can you please advise if there is a way to add a logo to the page header image background area? I have tried adding code but it gets stripped when saving the page.
The above is for an additional (supplier) logo. Please can you also advise on a scroll for a very long drop down menu list of products?
please & thanks 
Hey mjoakton,
1. As of now that would require custom modding or the use of CSS to set the image directly
2. You could reduce the height of the dropdown items to allow room for more to display with the following CSS:
body .sf-menu >li ul a, body #top nav >ul >.megamenu ul li a {
padding: 0px 6px;
}
OK thanks that helped – It is rather cramped and I still can’t see the full list of items. Is there a way to get the overflow working on the sub menu?
Hey mjoakton,
You can use the following for that:
.sf-menu >li ul {
max-height: 40vh;
overflow-y: auto;
}
Cheers
Thanks again for your assitance. 1 more thing. I would like to pply drop shadow to the page heading and subheading within the page header background. Many thanks 
Hey mjoakton,
You can use this:
#page-header-bg h1,
#page-header-bg .subheader {
text-shadow: 0px 5px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.7);
}
Hi, Thanks very much fir your assistance again. I hvae an issue on mobile devices where the horizontal list items become squashed and don’t fill the full row. Please advise. Many thanks
Hey mjoakton,
Once you have the dev site live I’d be glad to take a look at that and assist
Cheers
Hi, I am using yoast breadcrumbs and have noticed that it destroys the layout – adds white space in some instances and removes padding etc. I tried moving the breadcrumb trail into the header area. using the following custom css.
p#breadcrumbs { margin-top: -40px !important; } p#breadcrumbs, p#breadcrumbs a { color: #ffffff !important; } p#breadcrumbs a:hover { color: #cc1216 !important; } @media only screen and (max-width: 1000px){ p#breadcrumbs { display: none !important; } }
p#breadcrumbs { text-align: center !important; text-shadow: 0px 0px 6px rgba(0,0,0,1); }
It almost does what I want… But do you have any thoughts on how I can make this code not screw everything else up?
Thanks again
...do you have an email address I can send a link to the dev site to?
Hey mjoakton, You can reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Hi, Hopefully 1 last thing. How would I hide the breadcrumb from the blog posts? Thanks again 
Hey, could you kindly allow me to bypass the coming soon page you have active?
Cheers 
Hi TN,
I need to translate the word ‘BACK’ in the mobile menu, but I can’t find this word using the Loco Translate plugin.
I know I can find the string in the footer.php file data-back-txt=”<?php echo __(’Back’, NECTAR_THEME_NAME); ?>” , but I can’t find it in the .PO. Any updates will overwrite the file since I’m not using the child version of the Salient theme. Can you please fix this?
And actually I want to show an arrow icon pointing to the left instead of using the word ‘BACK’. How can that be done?
Thanks in advance for helping me out with this issue.
Cheers, Marc
Hey Marc, what version of the theme are you using? That string does exist within the .pot file (nectar_salient_strings.pot) in current release. Also, if you’re just trying to remove it for an icon, you could use the following CSS:
.off-canvas-menu-container .back a {
opacity: 0!important;
}
.off-canvas-menu-container .back:before {
font-family: FontAwesome;
content: "\f104";
font-size: 30px;
position: absolute;
left: calc(50% - 8px);
top: 0;
}
Hi, there is an issue with jQuery Superfixh plugin version on iOS (clicks don’t work). The issue is solved with update to v1.7.10
Hey jakamusic,
Thanks for letting me know.

Hello, I was using the partical effect on my home page, but it went away and I’m not sure what changed. Are you able to see if something is off? https://homeloanswithlara.com Thank you!
Hey worldwidedesign,
It looks as though the image being used for the particle effect is not being served from your root domain anymore, which the canvas element requires for security purposes. You can see the following error occurring in the browser console: “Failed to execute ‘getImageData’ on ‘CanvasRenderingContext2D’: The canvas has been tainted by cross-origin data.” If you’re using Photon from the Jetpack plugin, you’ll either need to bypass the image used for the particle effect or disable it: https://jetpack.com/2013/05/03/skip-a-image-with-photon/

Hi, I’ve installed the Home Slider plugin, but realized I don’t need to use it. How can I uninstall this?
Hey mrittman,
You can uninstall it in the “Plugins” section within the WordPress admin like any other plugin by deactivating it and then deleting it. Is it not showing up in that section for you?
Oh wow haha I feel dumb. I was looking on the same page where I initially installed it. Thank you.
No worries mrittman, glad I could help 
Hello,
The images on nectar sliders do not appear when the site is translated to Spanish and Portuguese (WPML). I’ve made sure the settings for each slide is correct in each language, I don’t know where the problem is stemming from. How do I fix this?
Example of problem: http://www.urbanworksarchitecture.com/sobre-nosotros/personal/robert/?lang=es
Thanks.
Hello, I’m unable to turn off the sticky logo on mobile. Any ideas?
Hey BandaSonora, could you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look at your settings?
Thanks in advance
Sure, here is is: http://85.purafuerza.com
Hey BandaSonora,
When viewing from my end on a smartphone, I’m seeing that the sticky header is disabled and it remains at the top of the screen after scrolling down the page. Could you let me know what device you’re seeing it stay fixed to the top on?
Thank you 
Sorry, this is the page: http://85.purafuerza.com/index.php/eightfive/
Hey BandaSonora, when using a page full screen row setup, the page is never actually scrolling – each row gets turned into a “slide” within a stationary vertical slider. In order to see the mobile header hide, you’ll need to enable the option “Disable on mobile”: https://ibb.co/1T9QnBd
Hi, I selected that option but it’s still showing on mobile. Also is there a way to have the logo just show on the initial slide?
Hey BandaSonora, I’m currently seeing the header staying at the top now on mobile now that the fullscreen rows are disabled on mobile. Can you let me know which device you’re viewing on where the header is still fixed?
Thanks in advance
HI, What I want to do is for the logo to only show on the top slide. Any ideas? It’s on my iphone
Hey BandaSonora, add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
#top #logo {
opacity: 0;
}
.fp-section-1 #top #logo {
opacity: 1;
}
Thanks, any way this can be mobile only?
Hey, you can change the snippet to the following for that:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
#top #logo {
opacity: 0;
}
.fp-section-1 #top #logo {
opacity: 1;
}
}
Hi, I am trying to use the portfolio element but only 3 items show up on my MacBook and Windows desktop PC in Chrome and Safari. When I check on my iPad all 12 show up. I’ve tried messing around with the settings but nothing seems to work. I saw here that it could be a plugin conflict but after disabling everything except for Salient’s plugin it still didn’t work.
https://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/1346114/Is there any solution to this at the moment?
This is where I’m building my site:
https://staging.kiritsu.co/aida-p/Hey KiritsuCo, this is likely occurring because of some adblock related browser addon you have – it’s been documented that most adblock plugins will remove the projects that are tagged with the sample category “Adverts”. If you renamed that category or disable the adblock plugin, all projects should show.
Cheers
Awesome. It really bamboozled me but that clearly did the trick. Thank you so much!
Glad I could help KiritsuCo 
Hi My site has has been hacked and I have now cleaned it but reading this article on wordfence, explains the hack I experienced can be due to a vulnerability in the version of the js composer – see here https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2019/08/malicious-wordpress-redirect-campaign-attacking-several-plugins/ I have looked to update with a new version of the jscomposer but see that the version supplied with ‘Salient’ has been customized by ThemeNectar. I have looked on the latest download for this theme but the jscomposer is an older version than the latest jscomposer which is now at 6.0.5. Can I replace with the standard JScomposer or do I need to wait until it is updated in the theme? Thanks
Hey batybat, the article on WordFence you’ve linked refers to a specific plugin that extended on the WP Bakery page builder plugin rather than the page builder itself – i.e. https://wordpress.org/plugins/nd-shortcodes/ as long as you have updated that, or any of the other plugins listed in the article, you should be fine. There are no security-related items marked between 5.7 and the current release in the WPBakery page builder changelog: https://kb.wpbakery.com/docs/preface/release-notes/ However, if you’d like access to the current version, we have already added that in the beta release of Salient. You can reach out via the contact form on my author page to get a copy https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks for your help 
You’re welcome batybat 
Hello, Just wanted to report a long-standing bug that’s been there for years now: WooCommerce Filter widget that uses the Dropdown setting does not hide with the +/- on mobile. The lists collapse the way they’re supposed to. Any idea when this might be fixed? Thanks in advance for advising! Love your product!
Hey dragoncalledk,
I just added the fix for that into the current beta. If you’d like access, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Cheers 
Thank you! I emailed you about a week ago for the beta, but haven’t heard back yet. Would be great if you have a chance. Thank you!
You’re welcome dragoncalledk – I just sent over a copy, thanks for your patience 
Hi guys! I need some help to make secondary bar a little transparent and to use a custom font there. Any advice? 
Hey AlbertoSacchetti,

background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.6)!important;
}
body #header-secondary-outer nav > ul > li > a {
font-family: Roboto;

Hello! contact form 7 does not work. It does not work when i click submit button. There was no message below submit button.
PHP version 7.0 WP version 5.22
Here is URL : http://jesusdivine.cafe24.com/aigis/contact/
Hey moncl, I tried to submit a test earlier and was able to see the form provide user feedback. Are you also able to see that on your end and are just not receiving the email itself or is the button not submitting the form at all?
https://ibb.co/Y2dTB1pCheers
the button is not submitting the form at all
Hey moncl, please disable the option in your page settings for “Activate Fullscreen Rows” https://ibb.co/nLxW5BX
Sub menu doesnt align properly on Internet Explorer 11, 10. Even your demo doesnt align. Must a flexbox issue?
Hey sbcarlos, this issue will be sorted in the next release. You can correct it now by adding this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.sf-menu > li.sfHover:not(.megamenu) > ul:not(.on-left-side) {
left: 0;
}
Thanks for all the help.
What are the major changes coming to Salient with the next update?
No problem toolbox101
The next release will include new demos, studio templates, features and bug fixes.
Hi, we have recently relaunched our website but it is failing the Mobile Friendly test on Google. Having gone through a large number of the comments I have read here, I have installed Autoptimize and improved there but still it fails. Would really appreciate your support to get this resolved ASAP.
https://search.google.com/u/2/test/mobile-friendly?hl=en&id=cA2cOD4EwDf7BOligugfiwThanks
Hey matt_ocg,
If you switch into the tab “page loading issues”, you’ll see the “Page partially loaded” error, as the assets never finished loading. The mobile friendly test will quickly time out If the server has a delay in serving assets. Have you tried to reach out to your hosting company in regards yet?
By default, Salient is mobile friendly as long as the CSS/JS is loaded for the test https://search.google.com/u/0/test/mobile-friendly?hl=en&id=qe7yqGwj83bYy1yVUQ8JeA
We tried reaching out but they said there was nothing from their side that would cause the issue. Could there be another issue that the scripts don’t finish loading?
Had to add the following to the Robots.txt file to make Google mark it as Mobile-friendly:
Allow: /wp-admin/ Allow: /wp-content/ Allow: /wp-includes/ Allow: .js Allow: .css
Hopefully this is useful for others.
Hey matt_ocg, thanks for posting that for whoever else may come across it.
On our blog we are using Masonry Full width, Classic. We have noticed that after a certain amount of posts, the post titles do not link, and the Read More button does not link and is not a button.
I looked at the source and it appears that the title and read more is falling outside of the “a href” statement so it is not the text of the link.
Is there a fix for this?
URL: https://crossfitfringe.com/blog/ – scroll down a bit
Hey crossfitfringeadmin,
I can’t seem to replicate that locally yet or the demo which is using the same style: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/blog-infinite-scroll/ Could you please open a ticket in regards with a temporary admin account so we can Take a closer look into the setup?Thanks in advance
Curiosity here… can you use a GIF or an animated image as the background to a portfolio item?
Hey noantsinmypants, yes – but only when using the image as the “custom thumbnail” Instead of the default featured image. The custom thumbnail does not crop the uploaded image And therefore will preserve the animated frames.
Cheers
Great. Thanks. - Speaking of cropping… I’ve set some thumbnail images to the correct size (per theme recommendations) but they still stretch and become distorted at times. http://r8q.93d.mwp.accessdomain.com/ on that page – within the Video section, you can see that the thumbnails are distorted. How can I correct these?
http://r8q.93d.mwp.accessdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/abmna-2019-video-featured-image-600x403-Feast-500x403.jpg
Gotcha. I thought I had it set to the other photography based and was going by different dimensions so that makes sense! I just noticed the other Square Based, Photography dimension recommendations within the Portfolio tab inside the theme settings.
Thanks
You’re welcome noantsinmypants 
Hello,
I created a custom post type with the CPT UI plugin. Is it possible to show the Page Header Options section on this post type? Is there something I can add to this field for supporting this?
https://docs.pluginize.com/article/28-third-party-support-upon-registrationHey insidewebnl, this would require modifying a file within the salient-core plugin as of now. The file is located at salient-core/includes/admin/page-meta.php
Hi there, is there any way I can add a Souncloud link/iframe to a portfolio item to open up in a light box? Similar to the YouTube videos?
Thanks!
Hey GoModernCreative 
Unfortunately as of now there’s no built-in functionality to allow that, however, I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist.
