Mega menu with the possibility of adding Text Widget, similar to the footer.
Hey ofmarconi, I’ve noted your +1 for the idea
Hi If I delete and reinstall the theme , all the previous theme settings will go off ?
Hey anazkhan,
All of the theme settings will persist through that as they are stored in the database. They will only be reset/removed if you reset your actual database
I notice there are 2,940 occurrences of ’!important’ in Salient’s CSS. Do you have any plans to support child theme development?
Hey cjweb,
That’s not an accurate number of occurrences since it’s taking admin styling & stylesheets which never load at the same time into the total, i.e. theme skins/responsive vs non-responsive styling. As of v10.5, the main Salient stylesheet has 279 occurrences. Most of which are not related to values a user should/would overwrite – could you please let me know what it is you’re having issues overriding in your child?
how on this fancy box do I center the icon on the middle fancy box and put the icon on the right on the fancy box on the right? Thanks https://imgur.com/a/JqgqGzh
Hey brianfreeman,
Could you kindly share the URL so I can take a look why it’s not working in your setup?
Cheers
Thanks brianfreeman, that particular style does not currently offer the option for “Content Alignment” however I’ve noted the idea for the wishlist.For now, it would require the use of custom classnames/CSS
any idea what that would be? 
Hey brianfreeman, Most likely in the next release
is it possible to add my own fonts I bought somewhere else? best way to do add them?
Hey brianfreeman, that would require the use of custom CSS to set background images or add in the font icon (if you’ve enqueued it already).
I saw an old post of yours that recommends a plugin called use any font. is that still ok today?
Hey brianfreeman,
Yes, that plugin is still compatible with Salient.
How can I reduce the font size in a particular element ?
Hey anazkhan, which element are you trying to alter?
Hi Guys! I am having problems with the visual page builder. Theme is up to date and have disabled most plugins and flushed cache. The visual option in the builder looks like the code version. Thanks, Adrian
Hey Adrian!

Hi Support,
may i know how do i change the Recent post button text from “Read Article” to “View” ?
Thank you so much.
Hey tommytai,
That string is kept in the salient-core.pot file located at wp-content/plugins/salient-core/language
Cheers
Thanks for the replied, i have checked on it, i couldn’t find it, is it because of my salient version is not up to date? currently version is 9.0.2
Hey tommytai, There’s a different file structure in that version. Before v 10.5, the file where that was Kept was in salient/nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php
Thanks for the info!
You’re welcome tommytai :)
Dear theme nectar. Due to a migration faillure, I lost the custom CSS to my website.
I’m trying to get my backgrounds to work again but I can’t seem to find the right name for it.
Currently, I have this CSS. Is ‘body-background’ the right word to use? Just ‘background’ didn’t do the trick either. I’m a bit lost. I really hope you can help me. It worked for years. I love this theme very much.
.body-background { background-image: url(wp-content/uploads/miriam-bos-bg-paper.jpg), url(wp-content/uploads/miriam-bos-border-side.png); background-position: right top, center top; background-repeat: repeat, no-repeat; }
Hey irrimiri, could you kindly share your URL so I can assist with the snippet based on your setup?
Cheers
https://www.miriambos.com/
Thanks irrimiri
You can change the snippet to be:
body {
background-image: url(wp-content/uploads/miriam-bos-bg-paper.jpg), url(wp-content/uploads/miriam-bos-border-side.png);
background-position: right top, center top;
background-repeat: repeat, no-repeat;
}
Thanks very much! That worked.
One more question: I tried using the CSS from this link from the theme: https://themenectar.ticksy.com/article/2322/
But they don’t seem to work. I would like to remove the date of my portfolio items, but apparently this doesn’t do the trick anymore?
Thanks so much!
Hey irrimiri,
In the Salient options panel > portfolio > functionality tab, you can toggle the option for “Display Dates on Projects”
Cheers
oh gosh, I totally overlooked that extra panel. Thanks so much! I’m really happy with this theme and its growing functionality too.
Hey irrimiri, I’m glad to hear!
EDIT: nevermind. I already asked that question 
Hey pixelfee2012, I’m glad you found the answer to that question.
Cheers
Hi, my page I created worked fine. I then used templera to add a section on the bottom. In that section I added a caracul via templera, then my page broke.
Hey djb19, could you please share the URL in regards so I can take a look?
Thanks in advance
This is the page with templera https://tinyurl.com/y6auohq4
This is same content on test page without templera: https://tinyurl.com/yyge8k5l
The templera works too, but if I add a carasoul, it breaks the page
Hey djb19,
I’ve just added the fix for this into the current beta release. If you’d like access to it immediately, please reach out via the form on my contact page: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Cheers
Thanks. Do you know when this theme will be updated with this fix?
I just sent over a copy of the beta to your email, sorry for the late reply!
Hello there.
I’m trying to extend the width of the content container at the page at https://messagehouse.org/generator-2/. I’ve tried variations of the CSS code below but to know avail. I would like it to extend 90 percent across the page, and be centered. Thank you.
@media only screen and (max-width: 100px) and (min-width: 700px) { .container, .post-area.standard-minimal.full-width-content article.post .inner-wrap { max-width: 1000px; } }
Hey marcfest,
You can use the following:
body .main-content {
max-width: none;
width: 90%;
padding: 0;
}
Cheers
That works perfectly. Thank you
Glad I could help
Hi! How can i get the version 11? In the download section i only see the 10.5 version.
Hey Claudiofuente,
The version available on ThemeForest is 11.0.1. When you unzip the salient.zip, are you seeing an older version listed in the style.css?
Hi,
I know many people are requesting SVG for the logo but for security reasons you are not adding it. Here is how the Jupiter theme does. it lets you upload the logo and disable so there is no security issue. https://imgur.com/a/ekCd47N
Can you do the same?
Hey toolbox101, that’s actually against the ThemeForest guidelines:
https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000481243#h_736102217801522302938904HI, my theme is using ver 11.0.1 (the latest version). Today i’ve updated the woocommerce plugin, and got this error. Can u advice how to fix this?
Your theme (Salient Child Theme) contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files. These files may need updating to ensure they are compatible with the current version of WooCommerce. Suggestions to fix this:
Update your theme to the latest version. If no update is available contact your theme author asking about compatibility with the current WooCommerce version. If you copied over a template file to change something, then you will need to copy the new version of the template and apply your changes again.
Hey shaky512, There should be two template files that have become outdated as of the new WooCommerce release today, both of which have changed in minor ways which won’t effect your frontend. We will be releasing an update soon to remove that notice.
Cheers
ok noted with thanks
You’re welcome shaky512
Is it possible to change search in header to woocommerce search that he searches through products in this theme
Hey patricksam2,
WooCommerce products will already show up in the main search within Salient. Example: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce-ultimate/?s=shirt

Hi, on this website: https://www.pietenbriefjes.nl/ In my footer there is an instagram icon with a red background. This was different recently (transparent). Is there a way to solve this?
Hey Abbenhues,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body #footer-outer i {
background-color: transparent!important;
}
Cheers
Awesome thanks!
You’re welcome
Hi there,
On this website: https://finestri.nl/zorg-welzijn/ I have flip boxes. Now they are full width but on the Builder they are three in a row next to each other, as they were when I created it. It seems to have appeared at this way somehow. How to fix?
Hey Abbenhues,
Edit the columns that are holding each flip box element and check the Responsive Options tab – it appears that a custom width is set for the small desktop viewport. To correct it, just change the value to “inherit from smaller” for all sizes.
Cheers
Yes, great! Thanks!
Glad I coule help Abbenhues
Hello, I am running an old Salient version 6.1.65. I tried to update, but visually many things are changing. How can I add Goole maps API code (I have it), with out updating all the theme?
Hey mjwebsite, You’d need to open the salient/js/map.js file and alter this line:
$.getScript('https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&callback=mapAPI_Loaded');
to be this instead:
$.getScript('https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&key=YOURKEY&callback=mapAPI_Loaded');
You are legend. Thank you.
Glad I could help mjwebsite
Hi there! I was using the “horizontal items” but I need to customize the layout, in order to get working for my content. How can I resize the % example for 4 cols(20% – 30% – 10% – 40%). Thanks for all your help. BTW this theme is the F*K’n best! xD
Hey minimalpost! I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying it
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
#ajax-content-wrap .nectar-hor-list-item[data-columns="4"] > div:nth-child(1) {
width: 20%;
}
#ajax-content-wrap .nectar-hor-list-item[data-columns="4"] > div:nth-child(2) {
width: 30%;
}
#ajax-content-wrap .nectar-hor-list-item[data-columns="4"] > div:nth-child(3) {
width: 10%;
}
#ajax-content-wrap .nectar-hor-list-item[data-columns="4"] > div:nth-child(4) {
width: 40%;
}
}
Since the last update I have a couple of issues I’m hoping you can help with.
1. The social share buttons on my portfolio page have changed. They were grey and looked like the theme but now they look like generic colored buttons. Is there a way to get that styling back?
2. The Off Canvas Menu (Mobile Menu) is having some problems. Firstly the 3 lines that activate this menu were previously hidden on desktop and now appear at the beginning of the top nav bar (see here – https://www.boutiquetraveler.com/).
Secondly, since I am using multi-site, the menu only appears on my top-level domain and not the other subs (see here – https://www.boutiquetraveler.com/san-francisco).
Hey thegoverseas,
1. Please ensure that you have the social style set to “Determined by theme settings” in the Salient social plugin settings: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-social-plugin/
2/3. Are you modifying the header.php file from your child theme? If so, you likely need to update your child version to match the current structure of the parent file.
